Form of Government for Hawa ii.

The next important~ measure, after the
Porto Rico tariff question, has been dis
posed of by the house, is the bill estab-
fishing form of territorial government
for Hawaii. The bill agreed upon by
the house committee makes HAWAII, to
all practical purposes, q territory Of the
United States, anu extends over it. sui
stan1ially: the territorial laws of the
United States, with such notifications
as the local conditions and established
customs Of the people make necessary
and wise. According to the bill the is
lands are to have governor appointed
by the president from among the resi-
dents of the islands. The president also
appoints the secretary and the judges of
the territorial supreme court. The resi-
dent governor is to appoint all other ad-
m1nistrative officers. In order to make
no radical changes in those institutions
which are closer to-<he people and to
which they have become accustomed,
the inferior coults are to be left as they
are now, and the local criminal laws
will remain undisturbed for the present.
The entire group of the islands are made
one federal judicial district, and one rev.
enue district as we'll. The legislative
branch will consist Of two houses elect
ed by the people, but Asiatics are to be
excluded from voting.

Minnesota Butter Leads.

Minnesota made an excellent showing
at the buttermakers' convention at Lin
coin, Neb. The best package of separ-
ato1 butter, scoring SO, was made by H.
T. Sundergaard, Litchfeld, Minn., and
the prize was a solid gold medal and
800 in cash. The score by states for
the 800 banner was Illinois, So entries,
average 9O.52; Minnesota, 100 entries,
average 90.17; Iowa, 191 entries, aver
age 1866; Nebraska, 81 entries, average
1907; Kansas, As entries, average 88.67 ;
Wisconsin, 70 entries, average $3.50;
South Dakota, 81 entries, average 1886.
Twenty three states in all were repre-
sented, but those having twenty or more
entries could compete for the banner.
The Minnesota competitors had more
than three entries to the banner-winner's
one. and were defeated by only 35-10O
of one point. So the honor's greatest
credit belongs to Minnesota.

The ability, the honesty and the econ
omy which have been brought to bear
in the administration of the public al
fairs of the city of Glasgow. Scotland,
have been secured by the elimination Of
politics. The council of chat city is COM
posed of solid business men. Politics
is practically unknown in the meetings
of the council. The success of Glasgow
in municipal government has been
achieved by the rigid exclusion of poll
tics from the city offices by intrusting
the administration of the city to trained,
capable and honest business men. There
is no city in the world so well governed
as Glasgow, and none whose affairs are
conducted so thoroughly in keeping
with the principle that the public Off
cials of the city are to be regarded as
the directors of q great cooperative un-
dertaking in which every citizen is q
shareholder and the dividends of which
are payable to the better health, recrea-
tion, increased comfort and happiness Of

Advocates a Free State Fair.

Secretary Tallmadge, of the St. Paul
Chamber of Commerce, after having
given the subject considerable thought,
has decided that a move toward making
the Minnesota state fairs free to every
one would be step in the right direc-
ton. He can see no valid objection to
this, whereas, there is much to be gained
in number of attendance. MI. Tallmadge
said:
''The Minnesota state fair IS a great
educational institution. In the neig h.
borhood of Smelling avenue now there
are eight colleges and universities, with
the prospect of another one in the near
future under the auspices of the Scan d.
1navians. The plan that T would sug-
gest would be to make all admissions to
the grounds free, and have the state ap-
preparation raised from $4,000, which it
is now, to say, $4,000. This the state
could we'll afford to do, in view of the
immense benefits which would arise from
the investment. OF course concessions
would still be sold, as they are now, and
some money derived from this source.
while the racing department would re-
main separate feature. But the gate
entrance should be free to all comers.
"The present appropriation, $4,000, is
about the lowest of any state in the
Union, while some others are IN excess of
the sum named, $4,000. The education-
al feature of a state fair, especially to
the young, cannot be overestimated. 1t
is true that it requires large sum of mo-
ney to make successful and satisfactory
exhibit, but this money should be fur
nished by the state. [, for one, am hear
tily in favor of such plan Of conduct
ing our state fair. and believe that it
would result Ia doubling at least, the
attendance"

To Take it a
Public Library
A Petition now Being Circulated Asking the
City Council to Establish Public Library
and Free Reading Room.
Present Library Association will Make Free
Gift of Its Books to the City.

At the next meeting OF the city coun-
Gil petition will be presented asking
that the present public library, now
maintained and operated by private
organization, be taken over and carried
on by the city, under the provisions of
the General Statutes, section 1925.
1t has been thoroughly demonstrated
that public library and free reading
room is desired and appreciated by the
residents of New Ulm and that the CITY
should be behind it's much smaller neigh
boring cities in meeting the popular de-
mand for such an institution seems al
most incredible.
The present library association has
been organized about one year and has
accumulated a total Of about 400 vol
umes of excellent literature but the de-
mand has become so great that it is.
found practically impossible to fill the
requirements of the public through an
institution dependent entirely upon the
public spirit Of the people. During the
present month there have been drawn
from the library over 600 books, proof
positive that it is filing a want which if
not long felt is at least very apparent at
the present time.
The petition which is now being cir
culated asks of the city council that the
question be presented to the voters at
the coming spring election for their ap-
proval as required by law, and the Re-
VIEW is authorized to state, lest there be
misunderstanding in regard to this one
point, that in case the proposition carries
the library will transfer to the city its
entire accumulation of books and prop
erty as free gift, thereby giving to the
people of the city library already es-
tablished.
Upon the establishment Of a public
library the law provides that the mayor
shall name library board consisting of
sixteen members who shall have charge
of all the details of its management, hav-
ing regular meetings and making reports

Men are not Free and Equal in Cuba.

The announcement is made that Sec
retary of War Root and Governor Gen.
eral Wood have determined nrnn plan
for Cuba which prescribes tn. following
/ qualifications:
Voters must be twenty-one years of
age, who have not been guilty of felony
and have resided in the municipality for
thirty days before election must be ma
tive born. or if born in Spain must have
resided on the island when the peace
treaty was signed and have renounced
allegiance to Spain; must be able to
read and write or own property valued
at not less than $3.50, or have served in
in the Cuban army.
The advlsability of an educational
qualification is questionable among such a
population as that of Cuba, where such
large proportion are 1lliterate, and
that fact that an illiterate will be al
lowed to vote under this plan, provided
he owns $3.50 worth of property or has
served in the Cuban army, lends to the
plan an element of bad faith IN so far as
It pretends to provide an educational
qualification. An illiterate worth $3.50 is
still an illiterate, auG an iliterate who
has served IN the Cuban army still pos
sesses all the undesirable Qualities
which pertain to illiterates.
The great mass of the people probab-
ly do not possess 500 worthy Of prop
erty, their poverty being no doubt due
to 'he losses caused by protracted war
and large percentage Of these unfortu-
nate people, among whom must be
thousands Of those "reconcentrados"
about whom the United States govern
| ment pretended to be so solicitous be-
| fore the war, are no doubt illiterates,
and will therefore be barred from vot-
ing by reason of their poverty.
The result of the adoption of such a
plan, so un-American in the conditions
it imposes, will be to deprive large
proportion of the population of the is
land of Cuba of the right to vote. And,
further, it will place the suffrage in the
hands of the wealthier classes and of
the soldiery. Over 100000 Cuban SOL
diers have already registered, and the
number is expected to be increased to
$4,000, who will all have the right to
vote, and who, with the weather. class
es, will govern the island with its pop
ulation of 1,572,s40.
Surely the Cubans, if they are to be
allowed a form of self-government,
should be given a suffrage plan which
recognizes all men as free and equal, and
does not 0ifferentlate between the man
| who possesses $3.50 and the man who
only possesses $3.50, and where the
civilian has equal rights with the
soldier, and vice versa. st. Paul

SILVER AS AN ISSUE IN THE CAM
PAl0N OF 1900.
BY ]. F. VALE.

There are different sorts of bimetal-
lists. Some call themselves such, whose
only desire is an increase in the vol
ume of money, without regard to its
character, and who prefer that the in
crease should be in the form of ire
deemable government paper. Such "bi-
metallists" are no true friends of sill
yer. AS producers of the raw material
for legal-tender money, the paper mill
and the stamp mill are not allies, but
enemies, and must always be such.
To others, the ultimate bimetallic
ideal is a universal bimetallism, with
all national mints open to the free
coinage of both gold and silver at a
uniform legal ratio, and with no legal
tender paper that is not surely and i'm
mediately redeemable in coin on de-
mand. This class includes most free
silver men" who are or have been Re-
publicans. They are in favor of hard
money. They believe in gold and silver
coin as the legal tender money of the
United States, and as the basis Of pa
per currency issues.
As political issues are presented in
1900, will Democratic success help or
hinder the cause of true bimetallism,
and is bimetallism practical issue in
the present campaign?

pealed to hard-money bimetallists, by
