A number of society women called
on Representative Payne one day last
week and urged upon him FAVORABLE
consideration of the Mccall amendment
to the Dingey tariff law. This amend.
ment increases the limit placed upon
personal effects by the Dingley law. and
would, it is believed, greatly minimize
the annoyances Of Americans returning
from abroad. That the ladies made an
impression on the chairman Of theWays
and Means committee was evidenced
by the fact that he Immediately held
conference with some of his associates.
1t is quite possible that favorable action
may be taken on the amendment.

The greatest interest is being taken
in the program of the Senate steering
committee for the time remaining after
the passage of the Philippine bill Some
weeks ago Senator Allison, chairman of
that committee, told me that the Mica.
raugan Canal bill would be considered
next, but he refused to confirm that
Statement on Saturday aud said that the
committee had not yet settled the order
of procedure. 1t is rumored that when
the present bill is out OF the way the
Senate will rush through the remain
ing appropriation bills and that Con-
gress will then adjourn. There is, how
ever, a serious obstacle to that program
in that the President has said that if
Congress adjourned without acting on
the Cuban bill he would call it in extra
session. Whether he has fully deter
mined to do so is the question all are
asking.
The friends Of the isthmian bill are
anxious that their bill should be consid.
cred first as it is freely predicted that
if the Cuban bill is first taken up it will
be useless to try and secure consdera-
ton of the former at this session. The
opponents of the Cuban bill have join
ed forces with the democrats and the
friends of canal and their attitude Sc
riously compicates the situation.

South Carolina has a novel case il
the supreme court of the United
States in which she asks for release
from the internal revenue taxes and
licenses on her whisky dispensariel
and distilleries. The claim of South
Carolina is chiefly based on the
ground that the internal revenue laws
apply only to persons and private COR
porations. and that congress could not
have intended to subject state to
taxation. Should this. position be
judicially affirmed state could set up
tobacco monopoly or any other kind
of business and claim exemption from
internal taxes as well as from customs
duties. But when state goes into the
business of selling whisky, or any
other kind of traffic, it must pay the
taxes that are levied by the federal
government on such traffic. and this
will no doubt be the decision of the
supreme court.

POLITICAL AMBITION SATISFIED

Governor Van SAINTS highest ambi.
tion Is to serve the people in his pres
emit capacity to the best of his abil-
ity and when his term of Office expires
he will retire from politics. He is not
candidate for the seat in congress
now held by Mr.. Tawney nor is he a
candidate for United States senator.
No one has ever had any idea that
Governor Van SAINT would look for
further political preferment. Several
months ago the governor, while in
conversation with the writer. stated
that the people of Minnesota had con-
ferred upon him the honor he had
sought for. The goal of his ambition
had been reached all he could ask for
was an endorsement of his acts as
chief executive of the commonwealth.
This request has been granted. Gov
ernor Van SAINT will retire from Office
in 1905 with the satisfaction of having
been placed there two years before by
the largest plurality ever given a
gubernatorial candidate.

the high position he occupies, and in :

THEN AND NOW.

Hearing in the merger case goes
merriiy on, Notwithstanding the Cry
of the Democratic spellbinders during
the recent campaign that there was
nothing doing. The taking of testi-
mony in st. Paul brings to light the
workings of the combination which
the railroad companies delight to call
community of interest plan" No
trouble has been experienced in secur-
ing witnesses who testify how much
different they are treated by the rail
roads since the merger has gotten in
it's work.
Addison e. Leach of Warren, N. D.,
told the story of how one of the rail
road companies proposed to sell back
to him at $40 acre right of way
which he had originally given to the
road.
Frank A Weld. president of the
normal school at Moorehead, testified
that the agents for the two roads have
been less active, since the merger, to
secure the passenger business from the
normal school. Also the students have
not been given rates they enjoyed
formerly.
Plenty of testimony has been intro
duced to show how shippers have been
treated; they have been subjected to
advance charges and there has been
less accommodation on the part of the
railroad companies to furnish cars
And is it to be wondered att Where
there is no competition there certainly
will be less accommodation. There
was a time when both the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern rail
road companies would leave no stone
unturned in their efforts to procure
business How different under the
merger.

his annual thirty days leave, which
is granted to all government employees
says a wire to The st. Paul Dispatch.
In other words, Mr.. Pettiford has
been allowed fifty-two days leave of
absence each year for several years,
while the other clerks have had only
thirty days. He has taken his leave
one day at time, each Saturday of
each week, for purposes of worship.
They have taken theirs in a lump.
No complaint has been made, how
ever, and the chief of the division tes-
titles that Pettiford has done as much
work in Eve days as the rest of the
clerks have done in six. But last
week, the division being overcrowded
with emergency business, the auditor
ordered Mr.. Pettiford to report for
duty on Saturday. The latter refuse d
to do SO, AMI on Monday gave his
reasons with formal notification that
he need not be expected to perform
his duties on Saturdays at any time
or under any circumstances. no matter
how much work was to be done.
A controversy between the chief
and the clerk resulted in charges be-
ing filed with Secretary Shaw, and
Mr.. Pettiford's dismissal has been or
dered for characterization, delin-
quency, absence from duty without
leave, neglect, etc., etc. The civil SER
vice rules prohibit discrimination
among clerks on account of religious
or political opinions and affiliations,
but they also require that the en-
ployes of the government shall work
seven hours a day for six days in the
week, which Mr.. Pettiford refuses to
do. Secretary Shaw will send the
charges to the civil srevice commits
sion
This is the first case of the kind
that has ever occurred in the execu-
tive departments at Washington A
clerk in New York custom house,
who is said to have been an orthodox |
Jew, was once DISCHARGED for refusing
to work on Saturday. There are
large number of Jews in the govern
nent service, but no others have ever
objected to observing the regular
Jules or hours of work.
