O'BRIEN is TURNED DOWN
STATES NAME IN QUO WAR
RANTO PROCEEDINGS
Former President of the Prison
Board Wants to Test Gov. Lind's
Authority - Attorney General
Says Law Provides for Such Cases

Attorney General Douglas yesterday
refused to grant John s. O'Brien, of
Saltwater, permission to use the states
name in a quo warranto proceeding
against Gov. John Lind, to test the
authority of the governor to remove
him from office under the circum-
stances stated in papers filed with the
governor two weeks ago.
Mr.. Douglas stated yesterday that he
did not think it necessary for him to
interpose in the name Of the state
when, under a recent ruling of the SUI
preme court. anyone could bring a case
before that body if done through the
proper channels. Under the recent rul-
ing, it is not necessary for the attor-
ney general to give his permission be-
fore a proceeding Of this kind can be
brought, but the court can suit its
convenience in hearing such an appli-
cation.
Gen. Clapp. Mr.. O'Brien's attorney,
called at the state house and held a
conference with Mr.. Douglas. He did
not say what future action, If any,
would be taken.
1t is understood, however. that prep
arations are being made to bring the
matter before the supreme court when
1t convenes In April.

January thaw for the future Will have to
go and get reputation before it can operate
in the February class. st. Paul and New
Orleans yesterday were at opposite ends of
the banana belt and there was not much to
choose between them in the way of tenn
porature. The mercury since crawling up
above the zero mark Is showing a tendency
10 camp about the forty mark At 2 o'clock
this morning the temperature was forty
two degrees above zero. The variation from
Z Z. m. until a. m. was scarcely perceptible.
At 10 p. m. and midnight the readings were
within fraction of a degree of the point
registered at q. m. The weather was not
ideal. but it was warm. All st. Paul asked
last week was a chance to thaw out. Now it
has the thaw and is not in position to
complain.

J. Adam Discour.eth Upon Names.

AS the Budget endeavored to point out
a year ago. the fusion Of several parties
under different names may work all right
once, but after they have fused they are
one party. and to keep up the old name is
only to- encourage and perpetuate factions
So If the forces that supported Bryan In
1895 are to work together In future they
must choose a common name, and the natur-
al title for them is Democracy, which already
embraces fully three-fourths OF their
numerical strength. The gold Democrats
of '98 have dropped the metallic distinction
and are now back in line with their former
brethren. or have landed In the Republican
fold to stay and assumed the political name
OF their conquerors. SoAmen like Mr.. Towne
who have publicly renounced forever their
allegiance to the G. o. P, and refused to
follow In Its elephantine footsteps, cannot go
on indefinitely leading their hare-lipped hosts
against the bulwarks of liberty, but must
fuse their forces into compact mass, choose
a name. and heneeforth do battle under a
common standard. Democracy is word with
a pedigree and a meaning, and not volapuk
upstart like Populism and other recent spawn
oil dreams Therefore the fusion forces should
take that good old name and break I'D their
tribal relations. henceforth to be a political
party for offensive and defensive purposes
and not as now, an aggregation Of oscillating
eccentricides. But till that Is done The

One day last week. when the mercury
was 20 below. George Bowles. the advance
representative Of the big Alice Nielsen OPP
era company which comes to the Metropoli-
tan this week, called at The G. / b 9 office
to tell how much warmer it was going to be
in St. Paul this week than 1t was at that
time. A picture of Tod Sloan happened to
catch his eye, and Mr.. Bowes' brow clouded.
"a friend Of yours. eh?'' Mr.. Bowles was
asked.
EYES, he is a friend of mine, but never
see a picture of him without thinking of

out at the same time.
It seems that Mr.. Bowles was connected
In business capacity with the Anna Held
company when the latter was playing sue
cessful engagement in San Francisco a year
or two ago. Mr. Sloan was playing an
equally successful engagement at San
Francisco race track. The premier Jockey
and the premier advance man were living at
the same hotel and were on most friendly
terms. Derby day was coming and Sloan
had a mount Mr.. Bowles wanted to go out
to the track and see his friend win. He
