MINNESOTA POLITICS

A visitor in st. Paul yesterday and to-
day would think the legislature was about
to meet, instead of being seven weeks in
the future. The unusual AGILITY among
house members has been brought on by the
sooner tactics of the Babcock people,
who started in early with the intention of
rushing the other candidates off their feet.
They had secured a long lead before any
other candidate in the field had even Sc
cured the Endorsement Of his own dis
trict The speakership contest naturally
involves all the others, and stirs up candi-
dates for every place to activity. On the
speakership outcome depends committee
assignments, and every member is natur-
ally concerned. Each man wants an in
side track and good recognition from the
speaker. ~ ..T.,@
: DR.. Babcock says he has made absolutely
no promises. That is literally true. He
has not pledged himself to any course of
action as far as committees are concerned.
1t would manifestly be wrong to tie ones
self up. There is nothing to prevent him,
however, from 'indicating'' what his in
tentions are in regard to this or that com
mittee, and this or that appointment. He
has certain ideas on these subjects, and
has expressed them in an indefinite sort of
way in the last few days.

Public Convenience.

The proposed federation Of the various
Minneapolis sectional improvement asso-
Citations will not have to look long for
something to do. One of the tasks it
could take up would be the establishment
of public convenience stations. The pur-
pose might be realized through an organ
lied campaign that would stir the city
government up to undertaking the work,
or the association might itself build such
a station.
The Merchants association Of San
lively and progressive a public-purpose
organization as can be found in the
United States, has in this matter of pub
lie convenience stations set an example
that bodies doing public work else
where can profit by. Feeling the need of
convenience stations the association, not
being able to persuade the city authorities
to take up the work, built one such station
itself and presented it to the city on con-
d1tion that the park board maintain it,
1t Is an underground station, has de-
partment for each sex, and cost SIS, 900.
1t is we'll known that American cities
are far behind European cities in respect
of providing stations for the physical con-
venience of the public. Such stations are
almost unknown in this country, yet the
need for them is even greater than in
Europe, because an American city doubt
less has many more visitors daily than a
European city of corresponding size. .,s
The absence of these conveniences
doubtless causes much physical discom-
fort and misery to the thousands Of WIS.,
itors Minneapolis has in times Of large
conventions, state fairs, football games.
etc. Other Am erican cities are beginning
to wake up on this subject and Mime

The Chinese DOGGY.

At the farewell dinner given " 'Aio
Chinese minister few days ago Mr.. ):
J. Hill sounded loud alarm regarding
the menace of China in the future. some
Of OUT friends in China he said, may
wake up and be too wide awake 1or U.S.
God help us if ever they get started ana
turn their attention to the productlon
of articles that enter into the commerce
Of the world t. e* If they enter into
the manufacturing and commercial rela-
tions of the world, depend upon 1T you
will hear from them. They will make
their mark. Will you in turn be compelled
to put up a Chinese wall?'
The United States has already put up
pretty effective wall against the chi
nese. Our tariff barrier is just as high
on the Pacific coast as on the Atlantic,
and. we have ucsides the Chinese exclu-
sion law. We are therefore protected
against the made in China goods as wen
as those made in America by Cinnamon.
But as yet there is nothing made In
China that would compete in our markets
to our serious detriment, even If there
were no tariff wall. Chinese competition.
if ever, is to be a peril of the future. The
influx of Chinese laborers into this coun-
try was once very positive peril, but
thanks to the exclusion law we have
avoided it. ~
But we are not so sure that Mr.. Hill
is right when he predicts great danger to
the rest Of the world from the develop
ment of China. He proceeds on the
| theory that without consuming any more
of the goods of other nations than at
present, without raising their own stand
ard of living, or rate of wages, the Chi
| nese will be able to become 50 efficient
| in manufacturing as to be a menace to
| the rest of the world. But by the time
the Chinaman has come to be equal in
| efficiency to the American workman, he
will consume vastly more than he does
to-day and will be more liberal buyer
as we'll as larger seller. ~ /,
! The truth is that some very erroneous
ideas are generally entertained concern
ing international commerce. We talk sd

sions that we are beginning to think that
they are really to be compared to inva-
sions by armed forces. A little while age
we thought that with our enormous IA
vorable balance of trade we were drain

are generally convinced that that balance
Is just as favorable to Europe as to u.s.
We simply use it to pay our debts, while
Europe enjoys the use Of the $780, 900, O0t
worth Of materials we send in large part
to her over and above our imports. When
one man discharges a debt he owes to
another the transaction is thought to be
mutually advantageous.
International trade is nothing but an
exchange of products. If exchange ceases
to be possible both directly and indirect
ly, trade ceases. II Europe did not have
vast sums of money invested here. II

Two Sources Of Bryan's Wealth.
Aberdeen Is d. News

William j. Bryan is reported to have
said that he has donated 1000 to fusion
campaign funds in different parts of the
country. Talk about your plutocrats
how is that for an example of man try
ing to carry elections by the use OF
money? But after all, 1t is only right that
Mr.. Bryan should prove his gratitude by
contributing literally to the fusion cause
Fusion is one cause of his abundant
wealth. Republican prosperity is the
other. The fusion movement gave him
the advertising necessary to attract large
crowds, and republican prosperity en-
riched the people so they can spare the
money to be entertained by the Nebras-
kan.

Probable Murder
OF an Invalid Visitor

John A. Bradley came to his death
under mysterious circumstances on
the roadside about three miles from
the Tollman place on last Sunday. His
body was brought into this city and
placed in Reilly & Hennessys under
taking parlors. Coroner Wilson sum-
moned jury. but in the absence OF re-
liable information no findings were
made. The inquest was postponed
until next Thursday morning at 1880.
1t appears from the autopsy that the
deceased came to his death from a
bruise on the head. This and the
fact that money which he carried was
missed, leads to the theory of foul
play. However. nothing reliable has
yet been ascertained. Officers are now
out collecting evidence and summoning
witnesses.
Mr.. Bradley came to Tucson about
three months ago and was admitted
to practice In the district court. He
had an office with Smith & Ives. In
this city, and made friends of all who
met him. His health was poor. and
he finally decided to go out TO Toll
mans ranch for q change. 1t was re-
turning to this city from the ranch
that he met his untimely death. His
remains will be shipped to his home in
Lee. Massachusetts. in the morning.
1t is the general impression that the
man was murdered. and the officers
are making a thorough investigation.

Good Road Movement
Now Being R0itdted

A number OF citizens are advocating
a good road" movement In this city
and county. People travelling to and
from Tucson overland have a good
chance to study this question. A num-
ber of ranchers and mining men in the
county in particular are interested in
the movement Some OF the business
men of Tucson also see good points
in it.
The parties to this movement think
that the board of supervisors could not
do amore important piece OF work
than the buildin gof road on the pro-
longation of Eighth avenue. The pro-
posed extension is ten or fifteen miles
long. and would cross the Riellito river
to the steam pump. This would ne
cessitate a bridge at the above stream.
Thwwtrayel to and from the Catalinas
and Oracle wouId then have a safe and
reliable avenue for traffic. The Tue
son trade with these points is inereas-
in gevery day.
The board is also besought to build
road south from Sixth avenue. at
the city limits. to the eastern line of
the San Xavier reservation. This ex-
tension would require two miles of
new road. Stone avenue would con-
meet with both the north and south
roads.
A petition is being passed around
and will be presented to the board of
supervisors in the near future. The
surveys and estimates on this work
Will not be difficult to make.
