With fuller discussion of the subject
with all the facts before them, the next

Negotiations are now progressing be-

regarding the Panama route If rea-
sonable terms can be secured from the
Panama Canal company and the proper
concessions from Colombia, there seems
no good reason why the United States
should not put its millions in the work of
finishing this partly completed canal
rather than in opening up a new and
rival route.
With favorable action on the Panama

what 1t conveys, but, If 1t were not for
the saving grace of the olio, there would
be little to favorably commend. The

songs and dances introduced. In the olio

there was the new waltz of Lincke'S,

SUFFERED y1cAR1oUsLy.

Early in the discussion of the Hay
G O b maintained that the treaty was
likely to fail, not by reason OF oppo-
sition to the treaty itself, but through
the influence of the interests opposed to
the Nicaraguan canal
At the opening of the short session OF
the fifty-sixth congress there was what
seemed universal sentiment for an in
ter-oceanic canal On the subject Of
routes, those who had given the matter
some study were evenly divided between
that of Panama and that of Nicaragua
The general public had no choice. The
Walker commission decided to recon-
l1end the route through Nicaragua be-
cause that route seemed Automatically

Against the Nicaraguan canal scheme
there were two powerful Hobbies at work.
The Panama Canal company which saw
ruin III the building of a rival canal
and certain transcontinental railroad
lines whose traffic would suffer by inter-
oceanic communication. These interests
saw it would be much easier to defeat
the Nicaraguan canal bill by defeating
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. than by
direct attack. The treaty therefore had
arrayed against it the enemies of inter
oceanic canals IL general, the Panama
Canal company and all those who be-
lieve that two canals would both be los,
ing ventures and therefore believed that
the United States should finish the Fan

were to be undertaken. Added to these

American rights to Great Britain. The

Minstresy Is the attraction at the

testified to by the crowded house last

cially for show of the present charac-

match, and his songs, 1.-The Sentinel

The comedy part of the programme, as
presented In the olio, is, most of it, to
be commended. Billy Van, the mono

ABOLISH TT.

If there is any real desire whatever
existing among the members of the
Ramsey delegation in the legislature to
serve the public interest there will be
some positive effort made at once to
remedy the scandalous conditions that
now exist in connection with the regis
tration of real estate transfers in this
county
While other communities are advancing
steadily in the direction of simplifying
their systems of land transfers this coun
ty alone continues to adhere to forms
which produce public and private uncer-
tainty and occasion needless public and
private expense. The abstract office in
this country is an anomaly 1t is a po-
litical stall. 1t is maintained against
the public wish and against the public
interest. It is an excreseence. IT
has no use outside of the work
of the register of deeds office.
1t does not exist anywhere else. If the
delegation from this county had single
eye to the public interests, or if it's ma
3ority were not controlled by the require
ments of personal politics, it would abol
ish the abstract Office; or, if it did not.
it W ould abolish the register of deeds Of
flee. For there can be no possible use for
the two.
1t is truly a remarkable thing that it
is at the present moment impossible to
determine what liens if any exist against
given piece of property without having
recourse to the abstract office. II the
records of that official excreseenee were
destroyed tomorrow the public would
have, to depend upon one or two private
abstract concerns to secure this indis-
pensable information. This is due as we
understand it to the possession by the
abstract clerk of one or two records
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-03-11

which have no other place in any other
county in the state than in the office of
the register of deeds.
What the Office is maintained for save
know. 1t would be even tolerable for
the taxpayers to be obliged to maintain
the unnecessary Office if it were not that
grave public interests are endangered by
the elimination from the regular official
records of real estate transfers of GER
tain Indispensable records which are
now in control of that office
There is a measure now before the state
legislature which is designed to establish
the Torrens system of land transfers in
this state. The idea is dominant in all
progressive communities that everything
possible should be done to lessen the ex-
pense and simplify the processes which
secure citizens in the title to their real
estate. We are so far behind that spirit
that we maintain a public office which
Is unnecessary, with the result that real
estate transfers are more difficult and
more expensive than anywhere else in
this state AS the office is now admins
tered anything is liable to happen. If
the members of the legislative delega-
ton are willing to take the risk of hav-
ing the public records transformed at
some time sooner or later into private
property by giving the private abstract
concerns the exclusive right to furnish
public information they will defer action
in regard to this office until the legisla-
ture adjourns.
When the political record comes to be
made up of the Republican methods in
this city and county there will be
showing with reference 70 that party
and it's adherents in local office which it
will be hard to overcome, Unless the
Republican majority in that delegation
shall take steps to abolish the abstract
clerks office through legislative aid that
office will represent very important
item in the bill of particulars of Repub-
lcan official malfeasance.
