MISCHIEyOUs AND UNJUSTIFIABLE


Some very nasty filings are made at
Judge Elliott by the Tribune this morn
ing-evidently inspired by sympathles
which are we'll understood in this COM
munity. We are told by the Tribune that
the appeal from the district to the federal
court sis an appeal from temporary
Judges, created and sustained by the pup
lie feeling of the day, to permanent
Judges, guided and controlled by the en-
during principles Of law; that the grant
ing of the injunction was "a most unusual
judicial practice and "that the state
court was willing to make itself an in
strument of this naked injustice"
This is most uncalled-for and unjus-
tifiable attack upon the integrity of the
district court, and unaccountable except
upon the grounds indicated. Judge Ell
lott issued temporary injunction. The
word temporary implies that the enjoined
are to have hearing before it shall be
made permanent. It was no fault OF his
that this suit was brought within forty
eight hours Of the limit of time within
which that which it was sought to prevent
must be done If it is done at all. He
knew well enough that the temporarily en-
Joined had their attorneys ready and at
hand and could present themselves for
hearing at any time if they wished. 1t is
judicial practice to grant temporary in
functions to prevent the consummatlon OF
transactions which may be in violation
of the rights and interests of those who
have no other means of relief except ap-
peal to the courts, until the matter can
be inquired into This method has been
provided, and is often taken advantage OF
and, is necessary means of protection; to
which the holder of the common stock in
this instance had a right to appeal.
And while the court might have re-
fused to grant the order, refusal in such
instances is rare in view of the fact that
the opportunity still remains for hear
ing as to the propriety of making the in
junction permanent.
Our contemporary has been guilty OF
an, offense against the court more serious
as affecting the interests of the public
than any possible effect of the courts &C.
tion upon the private and corporate in
terests involved. We can we'll afford te
have the operations Of the manipulators
OF Northern Pacific common and preferred
temporarily interfered with, no matter
how many millions may be involved, bet
ter than we can afford to have our courts
held up to contempt and suspicion in this
malignant and outrageous manner. The
| malicious insinuations of our contem
| porary against the integrity of our loca
| courts are mischievous in the extreme
| and without excuse.

The CUBAN ELECTIONS

It is cahled from Havana that Senior
Estrada Palma was yesterday elected
president of the new Cuban republic. AS
the followers of General Bartholome Masso
refrained from voting and Masso withdrew
from his candidacy for the presidency,
Palma's election was a foregone conclu-
sion. .,.,.-s. .-,....
From the American standpoint it would
seem to have been better If Palma had
been opposed, for the strength Of the OPP
position to the Palma party would have
been disclosed Masso, who has opposed
the compact with the United States
recognized by the Cuban constitutional
convention, should be kept under the sur
VIGILANCE of Cubans who stand for peace
and progress In the new republic, for hav-
ing refused the arbitrament Of the ballot,
Masso may try his hand at physical re-
sistance to the recognized order. He
heads the radical element of Cubans, and
Palma, who is a cool and judicious Cuban,
long a resident in this country as head of
the Cuban junta, will have to exercise
his best Judgment to heal the in1amma
ton of this element.
The general election, yesterday, en-
bodied the choice of presidential electors
and congressman Gas we would call theD0 /,
governors of the six provinces and men,
bers of the provincial legislatures. On
the anniversary Of the outbreak Of the
Cuban rebellion against Spain, Feb "A,
1902, the eighty-seven electors will meet
and cast their votes for president, vice
president and for senators. Palma
will be the first president of the Cuban
republic After our troops are withdrawn
from Cuba in May, the Cuban government
will go into operation. The Plat reso-
| lutions, which are embodied in the Cuban
constitution, continue the guardianship
Of the United States over the Cuban re-
public to the extent of preventing foreign
obtrusion and rapine and the destruction
tagonisms. Our government, in fact, is
J pledged to prevent Cuba from becoming
i a nearby nuisance, just as much now as
when 1t took up arms and drove Spain
( out of the island land out of the Western
Hemisphere.
| 1t remains for our government to pro-
coed to reduce the duties on Cuban sugar
land tobacco so that the island can reap
the advantages Of commercial existence.
Before the last rebellion, Cuba produced
to the extent Of 100000, 900. We can get
all the trade of the island by tariff reduc-
tion on Cuba's leading products Even
the limited reciprocity treaty under the
Harrison administration resulted in: CIV

apt to ALLEVIATE popular favor he will be
able to accomplish more, and with less
friction, than most presidents!

This is good news from Washington,
that the senate has no intention of rush
Ing through Philippine tariff legislation.
The house disposed of the question SO
bruskly that it seemed to have In view
no other consideration than that Of speed.
The justice, or rather injustice of the
measure was given no consideration; and
the Dingley law, in its entirety, was at
one stroke applied to the Philippines,
thereby making a mockery Of talk about
administering the Philippines for the
benefit of the islanders. The fact that
the bill as passed by the house would
amount to prohibition Of the imports of
hemp, the great staple of the archipelago,
large quantities Of which are used in this
country, is sufficient revelation of what
mistake would have been made If the SEN
ate had been In the same mood as the
house, the mood of men who are afraid TO
touch one line of the sacrosanct tariff

It Is to be deprecated that in this year
1902, which promises to be one Of the most
prosperous this community has ever
known, the board of education finds itself
unable to erect any new buildings, though
there are enough children, now kept out
of regular schoolrooms or full sessions, to
fill several buildings. School population
increases rapidly whether the times be
good or bad 1t is the part of wisdom
to catch up, at least, with the demand fol-
school accommodations, in good times

WORK WELL DONE

The calm and dignified proceedings of
the conference of the governors or attor-
neys general of FIVE states, concluded
at Helena yesterday, hardly correspond
to what might be expected of "a lot OF
Indians beating tom toms. The resolu-
lions are moderate in language, though
sweeping and firm. They say, in the forci-
but not frantic, that the proposed rail
way consolidation is in violation of the
laws and constitutions of all the states
through which the constituent railroads
run, except Idaho. In more general way
the Representatives of the five states ex-
press their opposition to any combination
or consolidation which restricts trade or
stiles free competition.
To Minnesotans it is of special signifi-
canoe that the conference approved and
Endorsed steps to be taken by Minnesota
to obtain judicial ruling as to the valid
ity Of the consolidation.
In consequence of the resolutions
adopted by the official representatives OF
Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, ldaho
and Washington, the executives of those
states stand committed to an earnest
effort to prevent the consolidation OF the
three railroads involved. The undertaking
so courageously inaugurated by Governor
Van SAINT is no longer the affair of single
executive or single state. The authori-
ties of five states express themselves as
believing that the proposed merger is
illegal and as favoring immediate steps
to determine whether the courts will take
the same view and, by doing SO, prevent Or
dissolve the merger. 80. ...
Those who have allowed their wishes to
father their thoughts, and have held that
the opposition to the merger is mere
teapot tempest, will now have to change
their views. Five great states are vitality
interested in trying to defeat the plans
of the mergerites, and the moral support
of the executive power of those five states,
and, as we fully believe, of a great ma
jority of their intelligent people, is now
enlisted for the litigation Minnesota IL
about to begin.

ADVICE FROM THE DEPARTED

For people who are to-day making UP
list of good resolutions for the year there
Is a wealth Of helpful suggestion in one
"Say a good word to every one VINO
seeks employment Of you; you or your boy
may work for him some day.
The business man who will make up MS
mind to be considerate of the men who
come to him asking for employment may
be certain that he will be courteous and
helpful in thousand other personal rela-
lions of the year. The man who has a
kind word for the seeker of employment,
whether he has a position for him or no,
will have the will and the time to be po-
lite and thoughtful Of others on many
occasions, when there is more direct good
to him in being so, than in the case of the
unknown and uncared for applicant for
work.
Mr.. Peavey's pithy saying contains the
admonition as we'll as the precept. No
man can be certain that he may not yet
have to seek employment Of the man he
turns away to-day. But beyond that
every man who has made his way in the
| world should be prompted by his COM
mon humanity to deal kindly with the
man who is seeking an opportunity to use
his talents and thereby make his daily
bread. Presumably an earnest searche1
for work is worthy man-at least he is

AMERICANS WORK HARDER

United States Consul Boyle sends from
Liverpool some very interesting facts re-
garding the characteristics of the English
laboring people. He devotes much space
to discussion of the difference between
English and American workmen in pro-
ductive capacity. That the American
workman produces much more in given
time than his English cousin is adj
mitted on all sides. An English match
factory thoroughly equipped with
American machinery requires TOO men
to do the same work that is done by
400 in America with the same machin-
cry. The ratio is about the same In
other reported comparisons
Putting aside all question of whether
themselves to restrict output-Which the
unions deny-Mr. Boyle finds two reasons
for inferior productivity on the part OF
the British workman.
The first reason is that the English
workman is not so adaptable as the Amerl-
can.
The second is that it is not the GUS
tom Of the country for an Ensllsnlman'
whether mechanic or clerk, or laborer. to
work as hard as an American.
The difference probably lies mostly In
the second reason. The religion Of work

FUNCTION OF THE NORTHERN ST.
CURITIES

After Judge IOcnren mas set lofLn very
clearly the reasons which led him to dis
solve the Temporary injunction against the
retirement. of Northern Pacific preferred
stock, he discusses the relation Of the
Northern Securities company to the
method OF operating the three railroad
Companies in question, and arrives at the
conclusion that these three companies
may be managed as successfully with a
view to doing away with competition
without any such organization as the
Northern Securities as with it, IF the
same person." he says, towns all or sub
stantially all the stock of such company,
do not see the necessity of forming that
company simply for carrying that purpose
out They might do just as we'll without
IT, .-.-
We do not understand that this has any
thing to do with the question of legality
Of the retirement of Northern Pacific pre-
ferred. That is a transaction by itself.
The court, however, has seen fit to go
into this matter and to take the position
indicated, position with which we can
not agree and which evidently the men
who seek to control these three railroads
do not agree. If they do, why should
they organize the Northern Securities
company? 1t is true that Mr.. Hill tells
us that 1t was thought about in the first
place merely as scheme to make per-
manent the harmony of action between
certain holders of Great Northern stocks.
Assuming that was the first idea, it GER
tainly seems to serve admirably the pur-
pose of making permanent, practical and
effectual the control of the three roads
in the hands Of few men with central
organization, which control it Is evident
would not be as permanent, safe or GER
tain without the organization of these
mutual and corporate interests into some
such form as the Northern Securities COM
pany. In fact. there is reason to believe
that the relations between different in
herests which have been merged, or are to
be merged in the Northern Securities
= company, have been SO jealous of each
other, and are to-day, that without the
organization of central company like
the Northern Securities they would not
long act in harmony.
And it stands to reason that such an
organization should be regarded as neces-
, sary. Carried to its logical conclusion the
Idea that it is not necessary might as
we'll be applied to railroad company it
self where great number of stockhold-
ers agree to hire superintendent, train
men and others for the operation of a
railroad and undertake to do it without
first perfecting compact organization
and placing in the hands of the authorized
officers Of that organization powers which
ere usually conferred upon such agents,
We are not very much afraid of any
form Of consolidation of the two roads
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern-which does not include a cen
trail organization like the Northern Sc
curities, and If the state of Minnesota
shall succeed in its effort to prevent the
contamination Of that scheme 1t will have
done about all that is necessary to pro
tect the people of this state from the
threatened railroad monopoly.

HARVEY W. BROWN

Death, which has taken SO many we'll
known and valuable Minneapolitans in the
year just past could not let the last day
to roll already too long. With the
death of Harvey W. Brown IS completed
an annual death list that will long be re-
membered for the number of conspicuous
men who are enrolled upon it,
Unlike the late Mr.. Peavey, Mr.. Browns
time would not have caused surprise, and
the illness that preceded the fatal moment
was long enough to prepare his friends
and relatives for the shock. :
Mr.. Brown was a very successful busf-
ness man and an exemplary citizen, whose
good qualities were not so widely known
as they would have been had he been
more active in matters that touch upon
the daily life Of the community. Although
he was president Of the gas company,
which is in business contact with thou
sands Of citizens, his personality was
never identified with that company in the
public mind, in the same way that the
executives of other public utility cor
porations are. But Those who knew Mr..
Brown best. who were associated with
him in business and met him socially
unite in testifying that he was one of the
kindest and most considerable and helpful
Of men, and that he had very liberal views
Of the relations that should exist between
public utility corporation and its pat :
rons. Ever since he came to Minneapolis
Mr. Brown has been ranked among the
solid and strong men Of the city and the
gap his death will leave In many large
business undertakings is one that cannot
I be easily filled.
