Key Holes Filled.

On Monday. Roy Sykes, son Of james
Sykes, was arrested and placed i'll the Elkton
jail for filing the key holes at the ElEtcn
High School building, with putty. Sykes and
another hoy named Marcus, both put putty
in til" holes, but Marcus took out what he
put in. Sykes then put some in and packed
it with stones and dirt. When school As
sembied on Monday, ii was found impossible
to get the keys in the locks as the putty had

vital defect in the present law fer
the protection and preservation of game
and fish in Minnesota lies il the fact
! that under it's provisions it is practically
impossible for the great mass of the PEG;
pie to obtain and enjoy any of the game
settles UP and the popu,s ton Increases
this condition cannot fail to become more
and more marked
Under the existing law the average
portunity to indulge in expensive hunting
trips is debarred from securing game
himself or buying it from others The
effect of the law is to give 20 the we'll
to-do classes something very nearly re-
sembiing a monopoly of the game. The
choicest of the game ishes may not be
offered for sale at al, AMI only those
who can afford to 60 eorth and catch
the fish for themselve,; are able TO eat
them. AS to the feathered game, tho
restrictions thrown around their killing,
during the brief open season, are such
as to make them a luxury SO expensive
that none but the wealthy can buy them
or hunt them. The humble residents of
the cities seldom or never taste game,
and this in a state where game abounds.
1t seems as though the game law was
constructed solely for the benefit and to
minister to the pleasure of the wealthy.
The farmer If he happens to live. in dis
tri6t where game exists cam obtain it
for the hunting of it, so that he derives
some benefit from the laws. but there
are other classes than the farmer and
the wealthy who are equally entitled to
enjoy the wild birds and fishes. The ar
t:san. the clerk. the laborer and the
thousands whom necessity compels to
dwell in cities have a vested interest in
the game, as much as any other
class Of citizens.
1t would not be unpopular with the
/ mass of the people for the next legisla-
ture to so amend the game laws that all
the people Of the state may enjoy the
game and that special privileges in this
matter to favored classes be withdrawn.

Abdul Hamid, sultan Of Turkey, is go
ing to have a jubilee shortly, in which
the naval representatives of other pow
ers in the Bosphorus are expected 10
participate. The diplomatic corps in
onstantinople will also be assigned an
important part by their respective gov
ernments and the celebra ton viii lend
every appearance, on the surface, at
least, that the civilized world rej0ices
with Abdul, the Damned" over tae
conditions and consequences of his -eign
to date.
1t is needless to say that most, if not
ALL of the powers that will make merry
with the sultan would like TO snub linn
and ignore the occasion, but they DO no.
find it convenient to pursue that course.
The willy Turk has played one against
on the throne that mutual disrrust and
desire for influence with the porte will
lead them all to burn red fire and Join
in the applause in as pagan a celebration
as is possible to scare up a : the end Of
the nineteenth century. The history Of
the horrible Armenian massacre, and
other atrocities, is familiar to the r.ad-
ing public. The crimes were sanci, oned
by the sultan, and he has never made
anything like adequate reparatt9H for the
property losses, to say nothing of the
murders, although there was a move
ment made toward demanding salts ac-
ton. At this stage the sultan proved
himself as sharp an1 smooth as a dipIo-
mat as he was cheerful and sincere as a
butcher. He tied the diplomatic oppose
ton into a knot and ceased to worry
over his misdeeds
From his own standpoint the sultan is
logical in thinking he has dehed decency
and humanity, and thereby .defied the CIV
ilized world; he has taken liberties With
the lives and property of subjects of
great powers in the course of "vindi-
eating the Mohammedan religion; in
short, he has played the part of the
devil incarnate and wholly escaped the
dire consequences that would have been
visited upon any other porentate under
like conditions. All Of which is cal
culated to make a very kindly feeling
toward himself The jubilee will be the
outlet for the exuberant Joy of him
self and his faithful followers. but when
the great civilized powers dress their
warships and fire salutes In honor of
the occasion they will not be celebrating
anything else as much ~ heir own

TUESDAY, SEPT. IS. 1900.
A PUBLIC CALAMITY.

Every thoughtful citizen must read the
press dispatches regarding the Inaugural
etion of the coal strike with feelings of
profound regret. Neither side seems TO
have thought but as to how best to
circumvent the other and to force that
other to submission.
What efforts have been made by the
miners to prevent such a state of things
as now prevail the public have been in
formed of. Nothing whatever has been
done, so far as the public knows, by the
mining companies to avert the terrible
public disaster which has occurred.
Which of the parties is really response
BILE for the existing situation will not
much matter at this time The respon-
sibility will be sooner or later placed
party. 1t will be no light responsibility,
and will find it's reward in a public hos
tility that is likely to produce the most
serious results
The language of the mining companies
representatives, so far as reported is a
mild form of swagger. which presupposes
the entire superiority of their side of the
contest in all that is essential to success.
The men, according to those statements,
are entirely wrong, and instead of strik-
Ing against existing conditions ought,
with sufficient care of their several in
comes. to be in a position now to spend
the balance of their days cutting coupons.
The men, on the other hand, are very
outspoken and very confident, at least on
the surface. Their reliance is placed so
much on popular sympathy that the sus-
picion naturally suggests itself that they
are Tot i'll the best possible condition
financially to prosecute their present I'M
dertaking AS much as they seem to
think of. the value of public sentiment,
their employers seem not to make that
an important factor at all in the trans
action. But in each case the circum-
stance is equally plain that the interest
of the general public is not considered
for a moment, except with a view to Sc
curing some advantage for itself.
There is not household in large Sec
ton OF the country that will not be more
or less seriously affected by the existing
situation. The most severe hardship will
be visited on many of such households.

pAcKsET FOR IRREGATtoN

Like all things that are intended as
rigation has it's disappointments. Dur
ing the first stages of the experiment
enthusiasm over the demonstrated posi-
hilities of the enterprise was unbounded.
and to all appearances amply justified.
Crops produced were enormous in yield.
and the size of vegetables was some
noted where irrigation has recently been
installed, but not where it has been in
use for a number of years This has
lately made the advocates of the system
less demonstrative, and led them to ex-
anime into causes of the poor crop
showing, an investigation in which they
have been greatly assisted by the scien-
tific experts in the employ of the govern
ment.
The land which calls for artificial
moisture as a preliminary to successful
cultivation is generally of the kind cor
tanning large proportion of alkaline
salts. These salts are dissolved by the
water and drawn toward the surface.
AT first they have the effect of enrich
ing the soil, and this effect is what
builds up the hopes Of the advocates of
the system. But as the years pass hy
an excess of the salts is accumulated.
which rises to the surface with the wa
ter. The latter is evaporated, of course.
leaving a whitish crust that is more
or less fatal to crops.
The action of natural rainfall would
be to flush the surface and keep the
salts from forming a crust, but where
there is no rainfall, a flood at a con-
venient season or change in the meth
| DDS of irrigation are the only remedies.
A flood is a rare thing in the irrigated
| regions, therefore surface flushing can
not be depended upon, and experts are
already at work on revised methods of
applying artificial moisture. The chief
problem just now appears to be to deter
mine how little moisture will suffice to

and then to limit the distribution of wa
Ter accordingly, for the more water used

THE TAXATION or coRroRArsons.

The TAXATION OF C0RPOR AT{OAS.
The action of the state board of equal
ization, which is now in session, in sum
moning before it the representa tiy.,s of
the large lumber firms and the big mine
owners for the purpose of reviewing their
individual assessments can be viewed
with considerable complacency with the
great mass of taxpayers Of Minnesota
The purpose of the b3arJ is. 10 doubt,
to SO adjust the assessment Of these
corporations that they shall he 1a2ed
fairly and equally with the small tax
payers 1t is no secret that she lumber
and mining corporations have heretofore
failed to pay an equitable share Of the
taxes, and prior to the incunbency Of the
present state auditor they were able 10
evade the burdens OF taxation, SO that
they paid less than one-tanth Of the
share which they should have justly
borne
The equitable taxation of corporations
is matter upon which Gov. Lind is lie
slowing his personal attention and aus
he stated in his speech of acceptance at
the ST. Paul Auditorium on Sept. 6th. he
is of the opinion tina. if the corporations
are compelled to pay their just share of
taxation the small homes ana industries
of the poor people viii be largely re-
lfeved of the burdens they have SO long
had to bear.
1t is not in probable tnat the street
railway company will be called before
the state board and asked why its prop
erty should not be q ssessed ut something
like a fair amount as compared with
other property in the twin Cities
There is no desiro upon tho part of the
state board to lay oppressive or unjust
burdens upon the property OF corpora
tions, but the board seems to have a
strong opinion that it is high time that
wholesale evasions of taxation should
cease. It is, therefore, probable that it
will exercise the power it possesses I'M
der the law of raising certain individual
| assessments and il SD doing it will be
following in the footsteps of the state
equalizing boards of other states, nota-
bly, Illinois, which has dealt in an ex-
ceedingly vigorous fashion with tax-cvad-
ing corporations.

every community In the country in which
manufacturing is done.
Have the general consuming public no
rights under such circumstances? APP
parently, at least, they have not They
must pay such prices for their coal as
the exigencies of the situation and the
greed of the coal companies may dictate.
Their interests are not regarded. Only
fear of their ultimate attitude seems to
have any effect upon either side. 1t does
not appear to matter whether the house
holder will have to pay IS or SIS a ton for
his ceal. Either the demands of the men
have to be conceded or they will not.
Gauged by this standard. the strike
will, in the view of the parties, be sue
cessful or otherwise.
1t Is little short of condition of bar
barism that such state of things could
be called into existence without any pub
lie interest involved being regarded. 1t
shows the utter crddity of cur pubic
regulations. 1t means that the two con-
tending powers have 1t In their power to
raise the price of coal to such figures as
to make it almost unattainable to the
average poor man. This will undoubtedly
be done unless something is done. If that
something is done it will be purely graf
uitous. The public is really a disinterested
spectator, with the certainty that the
most cruel burdens arising from. the ex-
listing difficulty will rest on its Shout
ders.
Should the ownership of mineral depos-
its, like the coal beds, be vested in indi-
vidua.s? Should any corporation or COM

employees complain? These, after all, are
the questions the answers to which Will

it will probably be but a short time til
these questions viii be seriously asked by
the general public and the coai-mining
and coai-carrying corporations may find
themselves confronted by even a more Sc
rious situation than the one which now

SCHUBERT CHORAL ASSOCIATION

At a meeting of the Schubert Club
Choral association committee, held last
evening at the home of Miss Elsie Shave.
president of the Schubert club. on East
Ninth street, 1t was decided that the
winter course OF concerts that the asso-
citation were to give in conjunction with
the Schubert club would be abandoned
For some time the choral association has
had its members out endeavoring to get
subscriptions from former patrons in
oTder that the financial success of the
proposed concerts might be guaranteed
il was found that only about 50 per cent
OF former patrons were willing to SUBJ
scribe for the coming season. Consider
ing the price that would have to be paid
to the artists that the association d. o.
posed bringing here, the cost of an or
chestra, the expense Of q conductor etc.
both the Schubert club and the chora
association have deemed # advisable no
to attempt the proposed series of con
certs. In this step the club and tee
association are in thorough harmony
The Schubert club will do what Ii car
to maintain the choral association even
though the concerts have been abandon
ed, but in view Of the lack of interest
taken in the choral associa ton hv the
general public, the outlook is not rosy for
the associations continuance
At q meeting held Saturday at which
We're present committee from tho Schu-
bert club and one from the choral asso-
citation, the sentiment seemed to be that
action should be deferred for awhile,
but at the later meeting it was decided
that nothing could be gained by delay.

given have already been announced. to-
