The commission is required 10 report its
progress to the Governor from time to

orders Of the commission on the Auditor
OF Public Accounts before the issue of
warrants therefor. The treasurer is re-
ouired to give q bond of $4,000, the cost
of the bond to be paid out Of the appro-
priation.
This measure will be championed by its
patron, Colonel A. NJ. Bowman. in the
House, and by many influential members
of both the Senate and House. The only
objection interpcsed from any source has
been the question, can the State afford
it at this time? Colonel Bowman has been
doing some figuring on State finances and
is prepared to meet this question with an
emphatic yes, with a capital Y. On the
other hand, he will be led to ask, can
the State afford to do without it?

It must also be borne in mind that not
more than half of the penitentiary APP

fiscal year, and of the Capitol appropria-

the States annual revenue comes in in
December. in round figures more than
half a million. This will increase the cash
balance. The expenditures Of the year
will not be nearly SO heay as last year,

the treasury. such as last year, when in
addition to the expense of the Constitu

for the penitentiary and Capitol were

Likewise a proposal, half spoken.

They say he'll be rc-when he grows up
And then he adorcs me, indeed;
And you, sir, are turning your nose up,
Three thousand miles Off, as you read

and what do ] think CT New Iork?''
'tlAnd now, in my higher ambition,
With whom do l waltz tlirt or t2ll1?"
"And isn't it nice to have riches.
And diamonds and silks. and all that?''
"And aren't It change to the bitches
And tunnels cx Poverty Fiat?'
Well yes--if you saw us out driving
Each day in the park. fOur-in-han nd
If you saw poor dear mamma contriving
To look systematically grand
If you saw papas picture. as taken

You'd never suspect he sold bacon
And flour al Poverty Fiat.
And yet, just this moment when sitting
In the glare Of the grand chandelier
In the hustle and glitter betting

And the hum OF the smallest Of talk,
Somehow. Joe. I thought of the Ferry"
And the dance that we had on The

Of Harrison's barn, with it's muster
OF flags festooned over the wall;
OF the candles that shed Their soft luster,
And tailow on head-drcss and shawl;
Of the steps that we took to fiddle,
OF the dress of my queer vis-lris;
And how once ! went down the middle
With the man that shot Sandy MCGEE:
Of the moon that was quietly sleeping
On the hill when the time came to so:
OF the few baby peaks that We're pecpng

Of-the something you said at the gate,
All Joe, then l wasn't an he!ress

To think, as | stood in the glare

That I should be thinking right there,
OF some one who breasted high water,
And swan the North Fork. and all that,

TWO ELECTIONS.

1t will be remembered that there was
a state election in Oregon few weeks
since; and it will be remembered that
this Republican state elected Demo-
crat to be governor.
There was an election in Tennessee
Thursday And the Democrats carried
everything.
These two elections are straws which
show the direction of the political wind.
One thing shown is that the Democrats
may reasonably expect heavy gains in
Republican states of the North, for the
conditions making the Oregon result
possible exist in every other Northern
state. Another thing shown is that the
Democrats can once more count upon
solid South. Tennessee is a represent
alive Southern state, and If 1t is loyal
to the Democratic party-as the re-
suit shows it to be-there is no reason
why Kentucky, Maryland and the Vir-
ginias should not be found in the DEM
ocratic column.
A careful analysis of the situation
has convinced the Democratic cam
paign managers that there will be a
Democratic majority in the next con-
gress. Throughout the United States
there are a large number of close dis
tricts now represented by Republican
congressman. With united and ag
gressive party fighting for every seat
in congress this fall there is no doubt
many seats will be wrested from the
Republicans and the control of the
lower house pass into the hands of the
party of the people.
The results in Oregon and Tennessee
encourage the Democrats to believe
congress can be won this fall-and the
presidency in the fall of 1904

"PROTECTIONU TO A TRlIsT

1t is generally known that since i'm
mediately before the institution of nro-
ceedlngs by the attorney general
against the meat trust the railroads
have treated the packers in the shin
ment of their product on the same ba-
SIS as they treat all other shippers.
Before that time, according to the rev.
Citations made before the Interstate
commerce commission, the railroads
gave the packers the benefit of unjust
discrimination in their favor to an ex-
tent varying according to the demands
OF the packers and according to tba
concession which competing roads were
wiling to give. 1t was clear case of
perpetrating the worst evils from,
winch the people have suffered in the
past owing to dishonest adninistra tion
of the railroads.
The railroads pleaded that there was
no recourse for them but to yield to
the demands of the packers, on account
OF the operation of the competitive svs-
tenn among themselves. A circular is
sued by President Stickney. of tbe
Great Western railway, has found its
way into print which bears upon this
situation. 1t is addressed to the stock
holders of the Great Western road and
tells an almost incredible story of the
compulsion which the meat trust was
able to exercise on the carriers to vio-
late the provisions of the law in their
IdVor. According to that circular the
practice was for the railway comnanies
10 bill packing house products at the
published rates and collect the fnn
amount of such rates, afterwards maL-
ing settlement by paying back to the
packers from rs tof5O. per cent of the
money collected. Such conduct or
course, involves a criminal violation ne
the interstate commerce law and is
made punishable by fine and irnnr;s-
onment The influence which onera+ad
with the railroads to put an end to
the evil is set forth in President stick
ney's circular in the following lam
guage:

ONE WAY OF ESCAPE.

The people are fast in the grip of the
trusts, whose clutches are strangling
the life out of the body polite.
There is but one way of escape from
death by strangulation. That is through
the success of the Democratic candi-
dates at the election this fall-success
not only of the candidates for congress.
but for every office in the gift. Of the
people.
Such a result would effect a two-fold
safeguard for the people-the Repub-
hcan party, warned by the signs of
popular wrath, might afford at least q
measure of relief during the next ses-
sion of congress, or, falling to do so.
there would be complete Democratic
victory at the presidential election in
1904.
From Democratic party standpoint
a victory this fall is most important in
that it would give the Democrats high
hopes of greater victory in 1904.
Therefore, there is urgent reason
why every Democrat in Minnesota
should forget the differences of the
past and unite for the entire state. leg
lslative, county and congressional nom
inees this fall. Gains all along the
line in November mean still greater
gains all along the line of 1904.
There is no Democratic disaffection
this year. The party is, to a man. for
Hon. u. A. Rosing for governor. and for
his associates on the ticket for the Of
fees for which they have been named.
In the several congressional districts
the most popular and must trustworthy
Democrats are being mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination for con-
gress. The congressional ticket win
command admiration and enthusiastic
support For the legislature the same
thing is true. All over the state the
Democrats are urging recognized lead
ers of ability and character to make
the race for the senate and the ho11se.
In loyal, patriotic manner these leaders
are responding to the. solicitations of
the membership of the party. The leg

by the exactions of the packers. to
whom it is incredible that they would
grant special rates unless compelled to
do so.
In addition to the illegal advantages
thus exacted by the meat trust our tar
if system further protects" that in
stitution. The resolutions adopted by
the National Retail Butchers associa-
ton recently, urging combination
against the exactions of the trust, direct
ed attention to the fact not generally
recognized by the public that the Ding
ley law gives the trust protection" on
it's products to an extent approximate
ing on an average between 25 and 80
per cent ad valorem.
While the officials of the national ad-
ministration published avowals of their
readiness to apply the penalties of the
law to that combination it's members
continue their exactions undisturbed,
and go so far as to render their monop-
oily of the meat supply of the country
still more extensive and effective.
In any other relation than that of
politics the claim of the party in pow
| err, which is responsible for the exist
ence and maintenance of those monop-
olies, that it intends to destroy them
would be received with open contempt
| by all enlightened citizens.

PAYING THE COST

The folly of the attitude Which this
country is now being made to occupy
towards Cuba, through the failure of
congress to adopt a measure of reci-
procity in it's dealings with the new
republic, is being brought home to the
American people with added force
practically each succeeding day.
On the one hand we have the decla-
ration of the Cuban authorities of their
$40,OOO,O00 with which to pay the pen
Sions of the Cuban soldiers and for the
relief of the Cuban planters. On the
other hand, we have the announcement
made through the press dispatches
from Washington that the Cuban SEN
ate has authorized an increase on ex-
listing duties affecting nearly every ar
ticle for which the United States could
naturally look for a new market in
Cuba. That increase, as told in the
dispatches, affects such commodities as
boots and shoes, coal, pine lumber,
canned, salt and fresh meats, lard,
condensed milk, wheat flour, soap and
corn to an extent Of increased duties
varying from 10 to 333 per cent.
The provisions of the Plat amend
ment authorizes us to veto loans made
by the new Cuban republic for which
the current revenues do not provide
sufficient surplus to pay interest and
to establish sinking fund. The OBJ
ject of. this and corresponding Testric-
lions is, of course, to prevent Cuba
from becoming So deeply indebted to
European nations as to call into exist
ence the conditions seen in so many
other Latin-American republics-the
industries of the country being mort
gagged for an indefinite period to the
full limit Of their revenues.
1t will thus be seen that the neces-
sity may be imposed upon us at any
time Of vetoing the movement of the
Cuban republic to obtain loan, the
need of which we ourselves have ere
ated. 1t will be further seen that we
have gone as far as we could well go
to close the doors of Cuban trade
against ourselves, thus classifying all our
national professions and acting in pal
pable violation of our own interests in
the Antilles.
1t is, of course, not improbable that
with reference to the contemplated loan
we will find ourselves as helpless as
we are with reference to the contem-
plated increase in Cuban tariff rates;
but, in any event, the natural and in
bad faith toward Cuba are already
making themselves felt in directions
which, if a remedy is not soon applied,
must inure to the lasting injury OF
both the nations involved

HAITIAN CABLE IN

SOHHii0HOCi NChSd1 Of the iWaCHIdSs
Directed to Protect 1t.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. S.-The
United States and Haitian Telegraph
and Cable company has appealed to
the state and navy departments here
to prevent the cutting of it's cable at
Cape Hatien.
According to information received
by the cable company in New York,
the Haitian gunboat Crete-a-P erriot,
which is under the command af Ad-
miral Killick, who has allied himself
with the revolutionary government
under Gen. Firmin and who was ap-
pointed secretary of war and navy
under the revolutionary government,
intends to sever the company's cable
between Cape Haitien and New York.
The company appealed to the author
tiles here to instruct Commander Nc
Crea, of the gunboat MachiaS to pro-
tect the cable from violence.
Acting Secretary of State Adee and
Acting Secretary Of the Navy Darling
decided that it was proper for this
government, in the protection of the
international interests involved, to is
sue instructions, and ACCORDINGLY a
cablegram was sent to Commander
McCrea directing him to prevent cut
ting Of the cable.

derstood to be a French concern. but
the company has American affiliations
and large amount of American bus
mess, including that of the govern
ment passes over it's lines.
