WILL 1T WORK.

In this matter of removing the tariff
on trust made goods in order to kill
the trust or curb its power, which is
the dream of the free trader, there are
several points to be considered. First
would such a move do the work which
they assert it will2 Manifestily the

Germ. because it is better able to

sible advantage of the trade and meet
its opponent where the small concern
cannot. Its product is immense, its
capital unlimited, and it can sell at a
los in any given territory for a time
until it has driven its competitor from
the field. But the assertion of the free
trader that the removal of the tariff
will kill the trust, presents a somewhat
queer condition of affairs, in the face
of the fact, that some of our greatest
trusts are thriving upon articles upon

AFTER STATE CONTRACTS.
Majority of Bids to Supply State Iustitu
tiOns Come From Minnesota Cities.

St. Paul, oct. 30.-The state board
of control has received about twice al
many bids on the supplies for the
quarter beginning Nov. 1, as for the
previous quarter. more than 400 bids
have been received, and it is expected
that hundred or will come in today
and tomorrow.
The majority of the bids are from
the dealers in the twin cities, and the
larger Minnesota town, although Mil
waukee and Chicago houses are repre-
sented. Other things being equal,
Minnesota bidders get the contracts,
but the board buys where the prices
are lowest. About $3.50, 900 worth of
supplies will be required during the
next three months.
The regular quarterly meeting of
the heads of the state institutions un-
der the jurisdiction of the board of
control will be held today and
Friday Thursday will be taken up by
papers on phases of management, and
Friday will be devoted to examining
the samples submitted with the bids.
The contracts will be awarded as soon
as possible.

MINNESOTA FLOUR IS GOOD.
No Trouble Here, But Other States Have
More or Less Adulterated.
st. Paul Pioneer Press

st. Paul Pioneer Press:
"We have never had a complaint
that Minnesota -four was adulterated, "
said Dairy and Food Commissioner
Mcconnell yesterday. ''There is no
special Minnesota state law applying
to -four, and we would have no power
to prohibit the sale of any brand unless
we found that it contained something
detrimental to health.
"We are fortunately situated in a
wheat country, and it scarcely pays to
adulterate -four. Then, too, Mime
sofa flour has a reputation for purity
throughout the country, and I think
the millers are very careful about
manufacturing -four, realizing the
value of sustaining a reputation for
making gilt-edge article.
ST notice in the Pioneer Press this
morning that the Illinois food depart
ment is troubled with adulterated
flour, which contains barytes, which
is mined in North Carolina and east
ern Tennessee. Barytes is powerful
irritant, and soon causes arrangement
of the stomach. 1t resembles flour
when pulverized.

Charles M. Seeleye, former con-
tractor on the Chippewa Indian re-
servation, who is now serving term
of Imprisonment for starting forest
fires, has made statement to the in
terror department., in which he claims
there is cliqne interested in Indian
reservation logging contracts. This
clique, he says, involves number of
Minnesota loggers. who are making. as
he claims immense profits at the ex-
pense Of the government and the In
dams. A hearing resulting from his
statement was fixed to take place be-
fore the interior department at Wash
ington today and it is expected con-
siderable light will be thrown upon
the subject as a result. There has
always been more or less scandal con-
nected with the dead and down con-
tracts on Indian reservations, and the
department ought to probe this charge
of Seeleye's to the bottom without fear
or favor

PEDDLERS' LAW SHAKY. Z
Attorney General DiscuS ses the Decision
iu MankatO.

st. Paul Pioneer Press:
The decision of Judge Shissler of
Mankato that the state law requiring
peddlers to take out licenses in cities
and villages is unconstitutional has
aroused considerable discussion in st.
Paul legal circles.
81 have not given the state ped
dlers' law careful enough considera-
tion to venture an opinion as to its
constitutionality, said Attorney
General Douglas 81 should not be
surprised, however, if Judge Shissler
was correct. As remember 1T the law
is very broad and it may conflict with
some part of the constitution. The
supreme court mas found several ped
dlers' license laws passed by various
cities unconstitutional, and they have
to be very carefully drawn to be valid.
The question is delicate one, and l
should not be surprised if the state
law attempted too much in too gen.
eral way"

THE SHAM BATTLE.
Witnessed by a Great Crowd of
Spectators.
One Force Defeats The Other After en-
Exciting Time--.0nIy One Man
Injured.

The sham battle Tuesday evening al
Sibley park was witnessed by large
crowd of people, who filled the grand
stand and overhowed upon the side
hill and into the race track, and also
into the field reserved for the man,
euyers of the troops.
About sixty men were engaged il
the battle, which opened with brisk
cannonading with rockets, Roman
candles and giant fire crackers. Lieut.
Fred Days command occupied the
north end of the oval space, and Lieut.
E. R. Brown had his men at the
south end.
1t was during the opening of the
engagement that the only real casualty
Of the evening occurred. Private
Michael O. Brien, who was in Lieut.
Days command, attempted to fire a
giant cracker, when it exploded in his
hand, causing him great pain and
suffering. He was taken off the field
in a carriage. His home is at the
corner of Sixth and Mulberry streets
The combat opened at s 80 O'Clock
and lasted three-quarters of an hour,
and was exciting from start to finih
The crowd was so anxious to see it all,
that it got in the way of the soldiers
and interfered with the movements
that had been planned.
After the cannonading had proceeded
a short time, the troops at each end
advanced toward each other, firing
volleys. Lieut. Browns men retreated
and then rallied and drove back the
enemy. Some of his men became SO
excited that they could not be restrain
ed and broke away, charging the
enemy on their own hook. They had
to be escorted back under fire, which
was a very dangerous proceeding.
Then Lieut. Brown inspired his men
to make a flank movement toward the
judges stand, but this proved to be a
fatal move. Lieut.. Days force de-
ployed to the left and met their oppo-
nents face to face in front of the grand
stand, where after short but heavy
firing the battle ceased in the defeat
and capture of Lieut.. Browns entire
force.
The militia company is deserving of
credit for the enterprise which it has
shown in carrying out this form of its
drill. 1t can not but be beneficial, for
men who are accustomed to being
under fire, even if it be no more seri
GUS than a discharge of blank cart
ridges, will be cooler when in real &C
ton than if they had had no such
practice.
Capt Hawkes. and his men have the
right spirit to make excellent national
guardsmen, and we venture the predic-
ton that if ever called upon to do real
service they will take the lead among
the national guard of the state. The
men donated the funds necessary to
provide the cartridges and fireworks
for the mimic warfare of last night,
without asking odds of anybody. Our
citizens are and should be proud of
Company II.
