Redmond brought up the discussion

that SO long as the kings titles
remained unaltered, they would appear
unaltered on the coins.

LAW ENFORCEMENT
AND MUNICIPAL REFORM

The Herald's motto is: Rigid en-
forcement of existing laws is the first
step toward municipal reform" This
sentiment. carried at the head of its
editorial columns, has been generally
quoted and commented upon by the
newspapers of the country. The mot
to is consistently adhered to, n law
enforcement" is the basis of all its
discussions of municipal abuses.
The Herald's moral tone is kept high.
The stockholders are a unit in their
determination that The Herald shall
always stand firm for all that is high
est and best in municipal life. The
Herald stands as a bulwark against
all the forces hat are constantly at
work to injure the city, and it is re-

The closing of the great expOsitions
On Sundays is a great mistake. All
the arguments have been gone over SO
many times that repetition is unnec-
essary. But the Sabbatarian agita-
tors could utilize their energies II bet
ter advantage than in closing up the
eXpositions. OF course there are some
closed, particularly all the midway
performances. The movement of ma
chinery and other practices that OBJ
tain on week days might well be in
hibited. But the gates should be open,
all h exhibits SHOULD be accessible, at
least in h option of the exhibitors
themselves, and especially the art
museums and the musical programs
ought to go on. There is one phase of
this question that perhaps has not been
been. When the exposition is open.
the thousands of visitors are under re-
straint, and are denied access to sa-
looms and other tempting but democrat
iZing places. But when the gates are
shut IN Sunday. thousands of people
would otherwise be spending their
Sundays quietly, under wholesome re-
s%traint, and to definite mental and
moral advantage. are thrust out into

them something better than the low

GREAT WESTERN EXPANDING
By Purchases and Construction Ii is
Rapidly Spr, ad ng Out.

New York, Aug. 6.-The announce
ment that the Chicago Great Western
has made a traffic alliance with the
Colfax & Northern, opening fresh
competition with the Rock Island,
marks another step in the policy of the
Chicago Great Western. Up to last
winter the Chicago Great Western
was content to operate its lines be-
tween Chicago, st. Paul and Kansas
City without any special enlargement
of the system, and it was willing last
spring to consider a proposition from
the community of interests syndicate
for the purchase of the line. When,
however, the syndicate showed a dis
position to regard the price asked as
too high the Chicago Great Western
management decided that in view of
the prices which were paid for other
large properties the best thing for the
Chicago Great Western would be to ex-
pand in mileage. 1t has accordingly
made arrangementsf..o or building line
to Omaha and another to Sioux City.
1t has a number of short lines and is
to acquire others, either by building
or purchase, with a view of being able
to reach the best competitive TERRITORY
in Minnesota. Iowa, Missouri and
Northern Illinois One of two things
must follow-either the syndicate will
buy the Chicago Great Western and
pay a profit on the recent construction
and purchases or the Chicago Great
Western will develop system able to
control rates over large territory

MEN UNEASY.
Contractors Complain They Can't Hold
Them, Though Good Wages are Paid.

Minneapolis Journal:
Winston Brothers of this city, rail
road contractors, complain OF the
itineracy of "the man with the hoe.
HE does not seem inclined to settle
down to months of hard labor, but
works few days here and few days
there, ever disconnected, and anxious
to move on.
7. A. Winston, who personally has
charge of crew of 800 men engaged
on the Birch Dam extension of the
Omaha road at Rice Lake, Wis. says :
"We pay our men 50 per day and
not one in hundred complains of his
wages. Yet we cannot keep the same
crew for forty-eight hours. From six
to twenty-five quit every day, and as
many more are sent down from the
twin cities or Duluth. We have no
trouble in finding men, but we do ex-
perience great trouble in keeping
them"
A few years ago, according to Mr..
Winston, a crew could be hired for the
seaon and very little trouble was ex-
perienced in keeping them. But 1T has
grown worse and worse. Continued
Mr.. Winston:
''They say that contractors are i'm
porting Italians and Japs. Well, we
will have to import something in the
near future if we hope to succeed in
filling out contracts. The high wages
and demand for labor makes the men
independent. And then it is posi- BILE
that during the years of no work they
got into the habit of tramping and
cannot get settled down to anything
else -

WILSON'S VIEWS.
Says Government Report Will Give Good
Idea of Corn Crop.

st. Paul News:
Secretary of Agriculture James Will
son and his son, j. A. ilson, spent yes
terday at the Hotel Ryan, leaving this
morning for tour of the grain fields
of central Minnesota and Iowa.
The Western trip of the secretary is
to inquire for himself into crop condi-
tions. He said:
cit is easy to underestimate wheat
this year and as easy to overestimate
corn, but think there will be good
crop. The government report, pre-
pared from reports from $50, 600 crop
reporters in every township in the
United States, will be ready in about
a week. My visit has been with a
view to ascertaning what may be
done to lessen the damage caused by
such severe droughts as we have had
this summer. 1 am confident that corn
damage may be minimized by CONT
nual shallow cultivation and by keep
ing the ground as full as possible of or
ganic matter. Rotation of crops ls
essential. If I were on my own farm
this year 1 would not sell my grain,
but feed it and sell it as meat.
Secretary Wilson is strongly in favor
of the forestry reserve park at the
headwaters of the Mississippi.

MANKATO STONE.
Will Be Used in Library Build.
ing Exclusively.
Hugh McMurtrie Chosen Superintendent
of Construction, and Work Will
Begin This Fall.

The library board held it's regular
monthly meeting Monday night, all of
the members being present except Mr..
Bierbauer.
The election of superintendent of
construction for the new building was
taken up and Hugh McMurtrie was
chosen, receiving seven votes. Pass &
Schippel received one vote.
The architects, Jardine, Kent &
Jardine, made some inquiries in re-
gard to stone, and suggested that In
diana stone be used for carved work,
not knowing that the Mankato stone
could be carved.
Mr. Widell stated that Mankato
stone takes carving nicely, and it was
decided to use Mankato stone exclu-
sively in the building
Mr. Widell suggested that the pink
ledge for the foundation and the cream
ledge for the superstructure would
make an excellent combination. This
was talked over at some length and it
was decided to use the stone as sug-
gested. Mr.. Widell thought that there
was no doubt but that stone could be
selected from the local quarries that
would stand the weather and action of
the elements and maintain its color.
1t was decided to urge the council at
its next meeting to accept Mrs. Good
mans deed to her interest in the Ii
brary site as a contract for deed and
binding between the parties, and to
take possession of the property and so
notify Mr.. Carnegie. This would en-
able the board to have the basement
constructed this fall, and to put in the
order for steel beams, so that there
would be no delay next spring for
these. 1t is expected that the plans
will arrive before the next council
meeting.
It is the intention of the board to
award the contract for the entire
building to one contractor, in order
that there may be no division of re-
sponsibility.
Another meeting of the board will
be held as soon as the completed plans
arrive, and bids will then be asked
for, with and without the portico. 1t
is proposed to limit the cost of the
building to $50, 900.

pointed by President Thro, as follows ::

, berg and Rev. Hughes building and

A Pittsburg dispatch says that 1t Is
learned that the directors of the big
steel corporation are dissatisfied with
the action of J. Pierpont Nor gan in
the strike, and that they will endeavor
to bring about another conference with
the strike leaders. This comes fir ON
one of the strike officials, and it is also
intimated that the strike will not be
extended to include many, more men.
On the other hand President Shaffer
says that all the men who belong to
the Union, or who sympathize with
the principle the men are battling for,
will be asked to come out this week,
and he says they will leave their work,
and the corporation s plants will be
in idleness. However, doubt is ex-
pressed in many quarters that all the
men will be called out. 1t is said that
the employees of the National Steel,
Federal Steel and National Tube COM
panies are at the present time the
strikers chief source of revenue and
that to call them out would be to
weaken the association in its fight by
depriving it of funds. Further than
this it is said that the Amalgamated
association has signed contracts with
these companies for year beginning
July 1st, last, and that to violate them
by calling the men out, would give
the corporation trump card which it
would not hesitate to use against the
union. The big steel corporation as
serts that it will start up its idle
plants this week, and several were
started yesterday, skilled men being
brought from non union plants to di-
rect matters, and new men being put
in to assist them. Many of the
strikers in some districts have gone to
work in the independent mills, which
are said to be crowded with orders and
some are running night and day.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
in an address at Marinette, Wis,
announced himself in favor of lynch
ing as punishment for the negro
offering as a justification that no
southern woman could be taken into
court to testify to her shame to con-
vict beast. He declared that all men
are not created equal and that mig
gers" are not fit to vote, and closed by
saying that the white people would
remain on top sin spite of the devil, "
and that if necessary he and his
brethren would again take down their
shot guns and hunt 'niggers. - The
talk is just about what might he ex-
pected from Tillman. He did not have
any computations as to the fate of the
declaration of independence when he
declared that all men were not created
equal though last year, with his heel
on the negroe' neck he was greatly
alarmed lest President Mckinley,
would fracture it by his Philippine
policy. The on-prOgressiveness of
Tillman can we'll be- measured, when
it is recalled that he is opposed to the
great work which Booker Washington
is doing for his race at Tuskegee, a
work which is approved by leading
men through the south. But Tillman
would keep the colored man in ignor-
ance not only along intellectual lines.
but in all manual arts as well. He,
looks upon him as only fit to be driven
in the field with pitchfork and lash.
That is the heighth of Tillman's ideal.
But what more can be expected of a
man who will publicly approve of
lynching2 The south is to be congratu
lated that it is outgrowing Tillman' 8
ideas, although progress may be slow
in some of its localities.

MANY COUNTERFEITERS.
More Arrests in Minnesota Than In Any
Previous Year.

st. Paul, Aug. 6.-Twelve times
as many arrests were made In Mime
sofa for counterfeiting during the
fiscal year ending June 81, 1901, as in
the previous year, according to the
annual report of Chief Wilkie of the
United States secret service.
During the year ending June 81,
1900, Minnesota was thirtv-eighth in a
list Of forty states and territories in
which arrests were made, and reported
only one case. This year Minnesota
is fifteenth in a list of fortytwo states
in which arrests were made, and re-
ports twelve cases. The only state or
territory having less population than
Minnesota and reporting more cases is
Washington, with thirteen cases.
North Carolina, Tennessee and Mime
sofa each report twelve cases.
For the fiscal year ending June 3,
1899, however, Minnesota was well up
on the list, reporting eleven cases.
"The cause for these splrts is difficult
to explain. said an official yesterday.
"Counterfeiters seem to work in
gangs that travel about the country.
AS they are broke up the remnants
form new gangs. The majority of the
cases in Minnesota seem to be the work
of home novices, raising bills, or pass
ing counterfeit coins After several
arrests have been made the people hear
of it and are on their guard against
counterfeit money Then the workers
seem to leave that territory alone for
a time, and after the people become
unsuspicious, return.
The number of arrests made by the
secret service during the year was 594,
less than for any year since 1893, when
only 492 arrests were made.
The report says: 1t is gratifying
to note that during the twelve months
Just closed there was less counterfeit
ing of notes in the United States than
during any similar period since the
adoption of the present system of cur
rency. The counterfeiting of coin has
decreased all over the country, with
the notable exception of New York
City and vicinity
''There was much activity among
the class making a speciality of note
raising, and large numbers of the al
tered obligations were successfully dis
posed of. Arrests were frequent for
this offense, and there was satisfac-
tory percentage of convictions %
