The New York Herald's non-
partisana poll of forty.five States,
which will elect 1856 members OF
the House of Representatives for
the forty eight Congress, shows
that the Republicans will probably
be able to control the organization
of that body, but by Very narrow
majority. To win the control Re-
publicans must eject 1914 members.
The Herald's returns give them
200. They also show that there
are Ill reasonably certain districts
for the Democrats and fifteen dis
tricts doubtful.

Governour Dole feels sure that
the Legislature will make good
any amount advanced to the gov
ernment for public improvements,
and that it will pay any and all OBJ
legations incurred by those in au-
tl1ority on its behalf. Better go
slow, Governour, before being too
sure Of counting your chickens be-
fore Matching time. The lndepen-
dent believes, though, that in order
to teach the government as to its
rights in the matter and the Gov
ernour as to whats he should and
ought to do In theepremises, so as
to conform to American ideas and
methods Of running a government,
turn one such obligation down,
and then would the Governour be
in quandary and in the soup. An
extra session of the Legislature
ought to and should be at once
called, in order to give the proper
authority; then there would be no
fear of any hitch or friction in the
future, everything would be easy
and plain, smooth sailing. But to
vouch in advance for what the
Legislature would do in the prem
ises is an assumption too bald and
raw to, pay any attention to. He
don't control the Legislature, but
and example should and ought to
be made, to show the Goyerneur
that he is not the whole egg in
the nest. Business men should go
slow and beware before making a
foolish leap, unless they are bold
and quite willing to run the risk
OF Drawing public condemnation.
Remember that in this case the
"coioured" native Hawaiians COM
pose the ruling majority, and they
should by all means draw the line
Of demarkation.

White men having arbitrarily
usurped the governing power here
and having also the bold effrontery
to barter this country away with
out due consideration of its true
native sons, that does not neces-
sarily make this in anywise white
mans country, nor will it ever be
such as long as there still remains
true-born native Hawaiian of the
soil (not haolc-born mind ye), or
anyone with any Hawaiian faint,
and who is able and can cast a
vote. But to try and bar Hawaii
ans from being employed, provid-
ing they are competent and capa-
bic, is to embark in the business
enterprise of drawing the colour
line, which we deem very repre-
hensible. Remember that election
day is coming around again, and
all Hawaiians should bear all such
treatment in mind, and we hope
that the Legislature may see fit to
do some curtailing work when it
comes to its turn, and not to forget
such actions very easy by treating
ii very lightly.

Why is it that the Government is

certain public improvements where a

benefited? Much as the improve

the now most aristocratic portion Of
the city's suburbs, we see no reason
why the Government should be fore
ed to make the improvement without
due legislative sanction being first oh

necessity for it, unless it is only for
the sole benefit of the Rapid Transit

Fast ST. Paul Ball Player Has Been
Signed TO Captain and Manage
Canadian Team.

: Edward F. Egan, a st. Paul player,
better known to the local fans as Ned
Egan, has been signed by R. ]. Smith,
cWner of the Winnipeg baseball team, to
act as playing manager and captain of
the club during the 1902 season of the
North Dakota league.
The moment the magnates of the Da-
kCta league voted to make Winnipeg the
eighth town of the circuit President
Smith came to St Paul in search of fast
players. He watched the Prairie
leaguers' work against the Minneapolis
American association team at Lexington
park last Sunday, and after the exhibit
ton made an offer to Egan. Egan had
already received offers from clubs want
ing him for third sack. but the Winnipeg
offer looked good, and was accepted.
Egan will be permitted to pick his own
team, and il is more than probable that
several OF the WE'LL known local semi
professionals will be found wearing Win
nipeg uniforms. 1t is understood that
F;gan has already secured Lefty Sperer,
the tWirler who worked against the Mill
ers last Sunday.
Ned Egdn is well known to the ST.
Paul fans. and every fan is confident
that the speedy little infielder will more
than make good at the third sack on the
Winnipeg team. Egan managed the
litchfeld team last season, and that
team made a good record.

1t is plain from this letter that the NAV

they could have gotten together at more

In the seventh inning, with the score
4 to against them, Minnesota went to
bat and the first three men UP all got
TO first, filling the bases. A clean single
would have tied the score, but it was
not forthcoming, as the next three men
all went out on easy flies. Allen was
easily the star for the home team, pull
ing two long drives off the left field
1ence and bagging another after a diff
