With this certainty of defeat they
should unquestloAably acquiesce in the
governors action and come half way"
toward a reunited party. II they do not
permit this then will the party in Iowa
become divided and possibly lose con-
troll of the state. Governor Shaw is high
enough in the councils Of the railroad
dictators to be able to exert a quietlng
influence on them and he can become
the chief instrument in harmonizing in
this way the party. Will he do 1t? He
is politician Of the truest type and has
had his own eye on the place for some
time. In fact 1t seems quite probable
that this was the reward Of his assist-
Eance, covert though it be, to the Gear
cause last winter. II the man can rise
to the occasion he will have earned the
ultimate gratitude of the entire party
and he will receive 1t. We are frank
enough to say that, if he does this. it
will be a distinct, tho agreeable SUR
prise. The petty partisanship of the
man has never yet permitted him to riae
above the level of the small kind of poll
tics.
1t would be also wise to settle the
question Of succession soon, before the
state becomes stirred up over 1t. Whom
Governor Shaw proposes to appoint for
the unexpired term. let him do it at
once. If he proposes to call the legisla-
ture together, that also should be done
with as little delay as possible.

DECISION
SUSTAINED
BeItrami's S position in the Becker
County Case Endorsed by the
Supreme Court. The Plaintiff,
First National Bank Of Detroit
Again Worsted.

On Aug. 2, the Supreme Court
of Minnesota in the appeal Of the
First Natl. Bank Of Detroit, Mimi,
against the Board of Co. Commis-
sioners of Becker and Beltraml
counties, handed down the follow
ing opinion in favor of defendants:
The complaint alleges that IN
the year 1871 the county Of Bel
trami was an established or un-
organized county, for record and
judicial purposes and so continued
to be attached until May 1897,
when it became an organized
county. That during such time
the affairs and business Of the
county Of Beltrami were carried
on and managed by the several
county officers Of the county Of
Becker. That the auditor Of the
latter county between March Is,
1891, and May %, 1897, issued TO
the<treasurer Of his county on diff
ferent dates for difere MT amounts
and to different parties, one hun-
dred and ninety-four orders re-
quirlng such treasurer to pay to
the person named in each order or
bearer the amount therein named
out Of money in the treasury Of
the county Of Beltrami not other.
wise appropriated. All Of the or
ders am mounting in the .aggre gate
to $7,757.59 were presented for
payment which was refused for
want Of funds, and all Of them
have been assigned to the plaintiff
That each and all Of the orders
were issued for official services,
election expenses, jury fees and
other services rendered to the
county Of Beltrami BY the several
persons to whom the orders were
issued. The complaint further
alleges that after the county OF
Beltrami was organized the plain
Tiff brought suit against it upon
such orders and that il was deter
mined therein that they were not
the valid obligations Of the coun.
ty Of BeItrami. It also alleges
that the plaintiff neither knows,
nor can it ascertain the amount OF
taxes levied and collected by the
officers Of the county Of Becker
upon the taxable property OF the
county Of Beltrami during the
time the latter was attached to
the former or the disposition
thereof but that the commissioners
of each Of the counties are fully
advised in the premises. Each OF
the defendants interposed a gener-
al demurrer to the complaint which
was sustained and the plaintiff
appealed from each Of the orders.
|. That the complaint does not
state cause of action against the
county Of Beltrami is settled by
the case Of the First National
Bank VS. Beltrami county, 70 N.
w. R. sol. The allegations Of
the complaint in that case were
substantially the same as those of
the complaintin this action, and
in that case it was held that the
order in question were not the
yalil obligations of the county OF
Beltrami, We therefore hold that
the demurrer Of Beltrami county
to the complaint was correctly
sustained.
Q. The complaint states no
cause Of action legal or equitable
against Becker county. The SER

tion were issued were not render

She Revoked the Rule.

Some time ago The cZarna, very
philanthropic and religious woman,
made up her mind that the lavish use
of tobacco in Russia WAS doing harm.
She thereupon prohibited the use Of
the weed, and especially of cigarettes,
in the court.
A few days passed, and her imperial
majesty needed some money. 1t did
not come, even after she had sent a
confidential servant to the treasury.
At last, in place of money. came a
white bearded old man from that in
stitution, with pleasant voice and at
tractive address.
There must be a mistake. your i'm
perial majesty. Two weeks ago you
prohibited the use Of tobacco in the
court, and so great is your influence
and so deep the love for you among the
people that the sales of the weed drop
ped down to a fraction of what for
merly was the case. and the internal
revenue receipts became less than the
expenses. The government appreciat-
ed your high munificence because I'M
der the law Of the land your income
is charged against the tobacco tax of
this district, and it was supposed that
you had concluded to give up your
wealth in order to carry out your
views upon reform"
The following week, so the story
goes. the rule was relaxed, and the
czarina's sudden poverty vanished as
