According to Senator Sullivan, Miss
Lection has been writing to him asking
for money. He met her last night by

the Senator was waiting and asked her
to walk up the street with him. She

Looting the Palace in Pekin.

That evil is contagious is brought out
quite clearly, but it is to be assumed
unconsciously, in letter written by
Miss Pierce, niece of Minister Conger,
from Pekin, concerning an excursion
which she made with party of friends
through the imperial palace after the
building had been placed under military
control. The palace was kept locked
up and under guard to prevent looters
carrying away the treasure it contained.
Miss Pierce says:
"When we went there we were told
that nothing should be carried away,
consequently we were abiding by that
to the very end, even when we went
into room of nice little snuff boxes and
J"ue ui'iS9' - 49, officer in charge
turned his back, and all the other Jill
GERS filled their pockets. - But, motto.
ing that the palace rooms gave evidence
of having been seriously depleted, and
that people were filling their pockets and
blouses, Miss Pierce admits that she and
her party could hold back no longer,
1--WE followed their example, she
says, and brought home a few little
things. Though small, they were very
fine, beside the fact that they are right
from the palace"
This is a charmingly frank admission !
of charming young woman that evil |
communications corrupt good morals,
and under the circumstances it will be |
rather hard for our government to as.
sumo an air of lofty morality in the
matter of looting in China, when it ap-
pears that our people from the highest
to the lowest INDUCED in it to a greater
or less extent. Miss Pierce in her letter
also says that the Russians are "the
worst looters imaginable, " but it is
more than probable that the Russians
were aware misrepresentation of other
powers were pocketing Yaluables on the
sly and concluding that it was just as
well to be hung for an TX as a goat
went the full limit.
The expedition of the allied forces to
Pekin demonstrated that the veneer of
Christian civilization is decidedly thin.
Robbery and murder have been com

The Jacobson gross earnings bill,
increasing the tax on railroad com.
panies from three to four per cent
of their gross earnings passed the
legislature and has received the
governors signature, and is now a
law. That the railroad companies
will accept without question is not
to be expected. 1t will be fought
in the courts to the highest tribun-
al. The claim of the companies is
that the legislature has not the
right to enforce such a law, as the
present rate is the result of a
mutual contract, and that it cannot
be increased without the consent
of the party upon which the ad-
ditional burden falls. 1t is ques-
ton that may find its way to the
supreme court of the United Statess,
and early adjudication may not be
expected. 1t is liable to be in
litigation for several years.

BOARD OF CONTROL.

The legislature acted wisely in
providing for a Board of Control
which shall have the general man.
agement and supervision of the
various public institutions of the
state of Minnesota. Such board
is certainly in the interest of econ
omy and greater efficiency. All
of the penal institutions, insane
hospitals and asyIums of various
kinds operated by the state are
placed under control of the board.
The governor has made a wise
selection in the personnel of the
board. William E. Lee of Long
Prairie, G. A. Morey of Winona
and S. w. Leavitt of Litchfield con-
stitute the board-lnen of known
integrity and capability. Mr.. Lees
selection is specially fitting-his
experience at the state reformatory
affording abundant evidence of it.
During his management the state
was saved thousands of dollars in
the administration of the reforma-
tory, and along other lines very
marked Improvements were made.
Not only is he a sound, practical
business man, but he has devoted
special attention to the questions
which fall within the scope of the
boards duties.

Board Of Trade.

The movement for a reorganization

to call a meeting for a revival of

Monday evening next at 1870 o'clock.
This is matter of vital Importance
to this city at this time, and every
citizen should ate nd. no matter in
what business engaged, or whether in
any business at all. Let the meeting
be rouser, and make it manifest
that the city is not dead to it's inter-
ests, and that cooperation for the
public veal is possible.
Ladies-all of you-attend this meet
ing. 1t will be of special interest to

city Improvement committee as one
branch of it's endeavor, and it has &C.
complished much. At meeting held
on Wednesday the club proposed to
turn over this work to the Board oil

take up this work in corporation with
the ladies, making them active mem.
