AND THIS Is "REFoRMw
More Information Concerning the
NOtorians minnesota Tam
many HnlI.

Nothing has ever been called to the
attention Of the people that has created
more Indignation than the showing OF
the corrupt practices used by the Lind
ROsing machine in its attempt to build
up second Tammany Hall In Mime
sofa. According to even the conserva-
tive figures admitted by the Globe,
when it acknowledged the authenticity
Of the Corser- letter, 1t would be en-
tirely impossible for the Democratic
machine to raise a corruption fund OF
not less than $4,000 a year. There are
four offices which alone pay not less
than 100000 a year and are filled by
men who never in their lives could
draw from any legitimate occupation
500 a year. These are the offices Of
oil inspector, surveyor general Of logs
at Minneapolis, surveyor general OF
logs at Saltwater and the governors
private secretary. Tt can readily be
seen that under strong pressure the
incumbents Of these positions would
willingly pay one-third of their salaries
to an agency which would guarantee
the continuance of their off1ceholding
career in such lucrative positions.
Then follows the other offices, clear
down to the $40 a month men. This
infamous system is what we have in
fulfillment of Gov. Lind's extravaganl
promises of reform and the Injection of
purity into public service. p. O. Ste
ivens, until recently a deputy game
warden la Duluth, furnishes some In
teresting light on this subject.

ner sometime in last March. 1t was

would have to get some one else.
Sure enough they did, and employed

that the first ten days OF August, in

I1EEP CHINA INTACT.
Grent britain and Germany Form
mn Alliance. 4


nm Alliance.
London, Oct. %. Germany and
England have formed an alliance to
maintain territorial integrity OF China
and to keep ports open. The terms of
this agreement which was arrived at
on Oct. 16 between Lord Salisbury and
Count Won Hatzfeldt, German ambas-
sador TO England, are officially given
out as follows.
The German government and her
British majesty's government. being
desirous to maintain their interests in
China and their rights under existing
treaties, have agreed to observe the
following principles regarding mu-i
tual policy In China:
First-Tt is matter OF joint per-
manent international interest that the
ports on the rivers and littoral China
should remain free and open to trade.
and to every other legitimate form of
economic activity for the people of all
I countries without distinctions: and the
two governments agree on their part
70 upheld the same for all Chinese ter
ritory, as far as they can exercise in-
fluence.
Second Both governments agree
that they will not on their part make
use of the present complication to OBJ
tain for themselves any territorial adj
yaEs@ -e in Chinese dominion, and will
direct their policy toward maintaining
undiminished the territorial condition
OF the Chinese empire
Third lin case of another power
making use of the complications in
CHINA In order to obtain under any
form whatever such territorial ad-
vantages, the two contracting parties
reserve to themselves the right to
come to preliminary understanding
regarding the eventual step to be
taken for the protection OF their own
interests in China.
Fourth--The two governments will
communicate this agreement to the
other governments intel .ested, espe-
ciaily Austria Hungary, France, Italy,
Japan, Russia and the United States,
and invite them to accept the princi-
pies recorded in It."
This announcement signifies the
most important diplomatic event In
almost q generation. 1t implies far
more than It's application to the Far
Eastern problem. 1T means nothing
less than the readiustment Of the bal
ance of power In Europe and the
world. II is a virtual thunderbolt to
France and Russia. 1t has been be-
lleved in Paris and st. Petersburg that
Germany secretly desired to use spe-
cial grievance, based on the murder
OF Baron Won Ketteler. to exact terri
torial indemnity from China, and both
Russia and France We're not unwilling
to see this ambition gratified chiefly
because It would offend Great Britain.
This note not only dispels this illusion,
but proclaims an Anglo German alli-
ance in Far Eastern affairs strictly
on the lines Of British policy
Meets Approval In Berlin.
Berlin, Oct. 23-An inspired article
In the North German Gazette regards
the Anglo-G German agreement as a
reassuring sign for the peace of the
world" and says that Great Britain,
just as ermany does, expressly de-
nounces oil idea of making use of the
complications In China for her spe-
cial advantages, and In economic aims
adheres to the principle of equal rights
for all.

i lis a political machine. Weighers are
free to leave their work at any time to
attend a convention or primary, or to
spend what time is, in their opinion,
necessary for the welfare Of the party
In their respective precincts. Night
weighers have often been allowed to
attend caucuses, and not only the sub
stitutes, but the men who We're re-
neyed, drew pay. 1t would be aston
ishing to know how many instances
there have been where two fees have
been paid in this manner for one
mans work. Gla # aaa VI
Among the delegates who attended
the Democratic convention in Hem
nepin county in June. to elect dele
gates to the state convention next day
were fifteen state weighers, and most
Of them We're elected as delegates t..
the state convention. This does not
take into account others who went to
their counties elsewhere in the state.
The standing Of weigher is mater,
ally strengthened If he can represent
his precinct at a convention, and he
is permitted all the time necessary for
his campaign.
In his speech accepting the guber-
Material nomination, Coy. Lind said:
'eThere has not been single instance
of complaint, either from the East or
from European markets, either as
to shortage in weight or grade, of a.
single bushel of wheat that has passed
through the Minnesota service. Prior
to that time, and under the admins
tration Of Mr. Clausen, complaints
from Buffalo and from England, both
in regard to grades and shortages In
weight, We're persistent and common.
This is absolutely false. 1t is not
likely that Gov. Lind intended to mis-,
represent, but his information probab-
ly came from his chief inspector, and
the inspector certainly knew better. The
complaints in shortage in weight on
cargo shipments from Duluth TO Buff
alo have been as frequent, and the
amount of shortages as great during;
the administration of Gov. Lind and
the present railroad commission as
they ever were In the history Of tha
department. There were so many,
complaints of serious shortages on
cargoes from Duluth to Buffalo during
the past winter and spring that the
Duluth weighmaster grew frightened.
Finally State Scale Expert Neale
went to Buffalo and made an investi-
tion, occupying three weeks. The re-
port made by Mr.. Neale to the COM
mission explains itself. Here are a
few items Of 1t:
IT watched the unloading Of the

Duluth. This cargo comes out forty
