Forcible annexation, which PreSl-

TOO MUCH STAR CHAMBER.

There is altogether too much secrecy
in the investigation by the state board
of equalization of the Twin City Rap
id Transit company's assessment. Out
of consideration to Gov. Van SAINTS
political appointments the matter has
been allowed to drag on to the last
day of the session-this morning. The
state board must be in possession of
conclusive evidence as to the value of
the company's holdings in the Twin
Cities. Let there be light on the sub
ject.
Two years ago Gov. Lind's state
board adjusted the assessment of the
company in the Twin Cities at $780,
000--at one-half the value of the COM
mon stock at that time. Since Gov.
Lind went out of office the company's
stock has at least doubled in value.
There is therefore no excuse whatever
for not doubling the assessment at the
present time, and it devolves upon Gov.
Van SAINTS present state board Of
equalization to increase the assessment
of the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany to not less than 100000.
Did not Gov. Van SAINT proclaim over
and over again that as the chief magis-
trate of this state he would enforce
the law in letter and spirit? The peo-
pie of the state will watch Mr.. Van
SAINT very closely in this particular
case. He is ex off1cio member of the
state board Of equalization, and has
appointed eighteen of the total mem
bership of the board, which is twenty
one.

THE PROSPECT IN NEW YORK.

The work of the New York state
Democratic convention will necessarily
attract the attention of the entire
country. The ticket nominated and
the platform adopted will be consid-
cred with the deepest interest by Dem
ocrats everywhere.
The Republicans have the prestige of
continued success in New York and
elsewhere throughout the country, save
in the South alone. Many states, like
our own, have shown the readiness of
their people from time to time to sus-
tain Democratic principles and can
didates; but the general result In cleo
toral contests for a long time past has
been uniformly against the party. I'm
der these circumstances, 1t may not be
said that Democrats have exceptional
reason to look for success In the great
state whose ante presidential cleo
tons go far towards settling the ques-
ton of success or defeat on the cleo
toral ticket.
But Democrats who have made
themselves to any extent familiar with
the progress Of political events In New

York during the past two years Will
take full heart from the ticket nom1n--
ated at Saratoga and the splendid dec
laration of principles that accompanies
it. The party for the first time in ten
years is united. The candidate pre-
scented for governor has shown in the
discharge of official duty that he is
man Of courage and ability and up
Brightness. AS comptroller of Greater
New York he won for himself the re-
spect and admiration of the people OF
the great metropolis, as well as the
enmity Of the crooked politicians, even
within his own party. This latter in
huence was sufficient to prevent a due
recognition of his abilities and popu-
larity from his party associates in the
immediate past; but his nomination
for the high Office Of governor sets his
party right in that respect, and illus
trates it's readiness to recognize public
worth.
Democrats outside of New York
know little or nothing of the other
candidates. It is probable that they
are respectively men of high popularity
and character, and that if they do not
contribute to the strength and popu-
larity Of the party's candidate for gov
ernor they will not detract from it.
But the unaninity which distin-
guished the selection by the delegates
of Mr.. Coler as the most acceptable
candidate leaves no doubt that the
ticket is strong enough to inspire ar
dent hopes of it's success in the minds
Of the adherents Of the party.
With David B. Hill the guiding spirit
in the party councils in the state, and
the party a unit, the past has shown
that the great empire state can be re-
deemed to the Democracy. If such
result is accomplished in the ap-
preaching election, there can be no
doubt of the spirit in which our peo-
pie will enter on the prosecution of
the battle for the presidency in 1904.

DEATH CANNOT BE CURED.

The census bureau has recently shown
the fact that people are living longer
than formerly. This Is something already
known and made public through the eX-
periences of the life insurance organiza-
tons, but it is well to have it officially
established, as is now done by the CEN
Sus reports.
The increase in the average age of the
white population of the United States in
the decade that ended with the year 1899
is shown to have been nearly 1 per cent
and the bureau gives credit for much of
the gain in longevity to the remarkable
progress made in medical and sanitary
science. This is doubtless an accurate
reason. Disease is now prevented and
cured to an extent never before attained
in the worlds history. Death, however,
remains inevitable as of old, the one
thing that advancing science may put off,
but never cure.
But cure for the ills that often trail in
its Wake-the financial worry to the sur
vivors, deprivation of resources and
sometimes downright poverty that ensues
when the family proVider has been taken
from the scene, are easily cured in adj
vance by the provisions of life insurance
In this connection it may be further as
serted that the growing longevity of the
race is to material extent due to the
remark able development and growth of
life Insurance. Insured men, as a whole,
certainly live longer than those who do
not carry policies.

facturers was $19,9S1,846 for materials
and $39,425,79S for manufactured prod

therefore apparent that the enforcement

industry of Ramsey county at an aver
age rate of rs mills would impose a
tax burden Of over $1,0O0,000 upon the
manufacturing industry of this coun-
