Approves Gov. Lind's Act.

To The St. Paul Globe:
Gov. Lind had the public interest in his
mind when he returned the sugar bounty bill
with his veto and his legal objection to the
taxing of the public for private enterprise
The public at last has in Gov. Lind a strong
man to guard the taxpayers against the en-
croachments of the Republican party. The
members who voted for this sugar bounty
bill over the governors veto should meet
with the condemnation of their constituents
all over this state. The voters of this state
can see by the actions of the legislature that
they have committed their party to bounty
to corporations. This state has been run by
the Republican party. Nearly every acre of
land has been donated to the railroads. Now
they have a law to tax the public or the
farm land by commission. without the con-
sent Of the farmer without the right Of pc
tition for against the improvement OF the
public roads. l am the last man who would
take away the right 81 township self govern
ment. The constitution amended will Gre
ate burden through, extravaganza. I am of
the opinion Cows Lind. will that this Re-
publican party d6es not destroy the power of
township authority. j D.

GRAND.


A strong play by strong company. with
out weak one in the cast, was witnessed
last evening by the audience which gathered at
the Grand to see -e.Monbars'' produced by Rob-
ert B. Mantell's company. This is the play
IN which Mr.. Mantell made his early success,
ana he plays the title role with the same
skill and art that characterize all his work.
famnlarity with character always begets
ease and naturalness. and these qualities
marked Mr.. Mantell's performance last night.
Ihere were times when his acting was SUI
peru, and the audience attested its appre-
citation with liberal rounds of applause
AS in previous performances Miss Corona
Rlccardo shared in Mr. Mantel's triumphs.
MISS Riccardo seems to have completely won
the friendship of St. Paul audiences, for her
performance last evening as Diane was fire.
quently interrupted by applause, and at the
END OF the fourth act it became so insistent
that she obliged to apear before the
curtain with Mr. Mantell and acknowledge
the compliment
Miss Marie Booth Russell, as Blanche,
friend to Diane, was clever as usual and
gave very graceful and effective perform
ance.
Laurent, the scheming friend to Monbars.
was played by Louden Mccormack, whose
work in the last act was particularly good.

rent, and the role could not have been in
better hands.
Lawrence Lowell was very good as Louis
de Moran, and there nothing to criticise
in the performance of the other members of
the company
The chief criticism of last nights play is
to be made of the audience, many of whom
mistook pathos for humor and nearly. ruined
several dramatic situations by laughing.
The house was flIsd, there being few vacant
seats. The engagement promises to be one
of the most profitable, for the Grand, of the
season.
Mr.. Mantell and Miss Ricardo will be seen
this afternoon in Romeo and Juliet. Mr..
Mantell should make an excellent Romeo and
Miss Ricardo will undoubtedly give as fine an
Interpretation Of Juliet as has been seen in
this city, for she will require no artificial
aids to look it. In face and figure she is
the ideal of Shakespeare's heroine.

night, and tomorrow night "Othelo' will

NO CHANGE IN STYLES.
Neater Effects in Gents Furnishings
Are In Demand.

John Robinson, manager of the gents
furnishing goods department OF
Browning, King & Co.'S store, returned
yesterday from the East, where he has
been on q business trip in the interest
Of the firm. Mr. Robinson asserts that
the present business indications were
never brighter, and all branches were
looking for a busy and prosperous year.
There will be no material change in
styles this year." said Mr.. Robinson,
except there is a tendency toward g
neater effect in gents furnishings. 1
do not mean by this that the spring
colors and effects will be discarded, for
some of the brightest and handsomest
effects are included among the seasons
novelties.
1.-The manufacturers all told me that
they were behind in their orders and
this, I think, should be an indication
Of what is expected by the retailer.
Another thing which is quite noticeable
is the increased demand for better
and more stylish class Of goods. A
year or two ago a so-called high price
piece of goods did not find a ready mar
ket, but today we are selling much
more of the medium and high price
goods than We do the cheaper grades,
whereas a year ago the condition was
almost reversed"

An investigation is being made by
Dairy Commissioner Bowler which may
not rebound to the credit of the old
administration. In fact. a number Of
cases have come to light in the depart
ment where the manufacturers of food
products have been openly violating the
pure food laws of the state. Maj.
Bowler, the present chief of the de-
partment is very retfcent about the
matter and slow to criticise his prede-
cessors, yet the fact remains that the
new administration has found many
cases where the department has, in
the past, remained in ignorance. either
willfully or otherwise. of the sale of
certain contraband food products.
In one day the department found four
cases in st. Paul where colored vine
gar was being sold for cider vinegar.
In these cases the vinegar was a low
colored wine vinegar with percentage
OF the apple product mixed in The
law requires that all vinegar shall be
labeled with its true name. In many
cases this has not been lived up to. It
costs great deal more to manufacture
apple vinegar than it does distilled
vinegar, and the free and open manu-
facture of the latter under the name
Of cider vinegar has evidently been al
lowed by the old administration In d.
rect violation Of the law.
Maj. Bowler stated yesterday that he
intended to Immediately prosecute all
who violated the vinegar law. If the
department in the past had allowed the
distilled product to go on the market
under the guise of the pure cider vine-
gar. it was a matter which should have
the immediate consideration of the de-
partment

fact that Mr.. Stivers supported the pig iron

BOY LOSES AN ARM.
Joseph Ranzinger Is EntangIed In a
Pulley With Serious Results

Joseph Ranzinger, a boy fifteen years
of age, employed at the bicycle manu-
factory Of Whaley & .Dwyer, on the
West side, was whirled about rapidly
revolving pulley yesterday morning and
so injured that it was necessary to
amputate his right arm close up to
the shoulder. The accident was Sc
we're shock to the boys constitution,
but it is believed that he will recover.
The accident happened at the top Of
the building, where there is pulley
connecting with machinery not always
in use at the factory. Young Ranzinger
went up into the Enclosure surrounding
the pulley shortly after IL o'clock, for
what purpose it is NOT clear. Suddenly
workmen about the place were startled
by cries of pain and, rushing to the
pulley room, found the boy with his
right arm almost severed.
DR.. Johnson attended the boy, who
was afterward taken, to the city hos

Irregularities in State Institutions

Irregularities in State Institutions.
The preliminary examination insti-
tuted by Bank Examiner Pope, whose
results have been conveyed to the leg
islature by the governor, shows re-
misSness, if nothing worse, upon the
part of certain public officials. Their
methods would not be tolerated by any
reputable business house, and, judged
by business standards, they are deserv-
ing of censure. Miscellaneous fees have
been regarded rather as personal per-
quisites, or at least handled as such,
and distinct violations of law have &C.
Cured in consequence.
For instance, an employee of the state
board of health deposited S3574O worth
of embalming fees to his own
credit in a Minneapolis bank, no record
Of which appeared on the banks re-
port indicating that it was in any way
part of the states funds. The secre-
tary of the same board had a similar
nest egg put away amounting to $119 So,

To the Editor of The ST. Paul Globe:
Dear Sir: 1 have read your editorial article
in The Sunday G 0 b e entitled Sugar Trust
the compliment you give me in Aying that
t'Stivers is a bad lot" I appreciate the com
pliment, coming from the source it does, very
highly. am also glad to notice that you
have read me out of the Democratic party.
The tllustrious services of The G l o b to
the party during the last presidential cam
paign will doubtless silence all question as to
your authority to decide that men who then
supported and still support the Chicago plat
form are not Democrats. Notwithstanding my
deep qualification to learn that my vote on
cannot believe that your editorial article was
entirely friendly to me. For instance, you
say that 1 sold my newspaper to RepubN-
cans for campaign purposes before election
and bought it back after election. Your state
ment is not true. I have not within recent
years bought back any newspaper property
that had once owned and sold. l sold my
newspaper property at Brainerd because I
wished to retire permanently from the news
paper business, and 1 have so retired and DO
not now own an interest in any newspaper.
AS l was candidate myself last fall for
representative, perhaps you mean that I en-
tered Into a dark and deep conspiracy with
the Republicans to defeat myself. Well, I
didn't.
wisdom in abusing a Republican legislature.
AS your paper has not made any pretense in
recent years of supporting the Democratic
platform, your friends have, of course been
looking for you to do something to establish
your party standing. l fear, however, that
you have made a mistake in trying to throw
reputation of state debt into the arena as
Democracy's contribution to state policy I
claim that it is not Democratic in any sense
whatever. ALI, or nearly all, of the Demo-
Gratis in the house and senate voted for
House File 1863 when it parsed. When 1t
came back with the governors veto 1t was
just good bill as it was when the Demo-
Gratis all voted for 1t, but 1t came bearing
the condemnation of Gov. Lind and The st.
Paul G o e. : Some Democrats recognize
both being Democratic oracles. I don't;
but I have no complaint against those who
do. That Is their affair, and not mime. This
veto seemed to me to be a political trick
so weak and transparent that II supported
by Democrats 1t would be injurious to the
Democratic party in this state. A veto of a
bill to pay a valid claim against the state,
especially where Il is admitted In the veto
message itself that the state IS bound both
morally and legally, to pay the claim is not
the kind of thing that 1t would be pleasant
for Democrats to defend in the next COM
paign. When 1 talk to a man I like to talk
to his head. Evidently The G b e doesn't
l strive to promote the interests of the Demo-
cratic party by helping to earn for 1t the
confidence of the people. The G. ob pre-
fers to label as Democratic everything that

political field. Yours truly, H. G. Stivers.
