Cheap Light, But

Several days ago The Free Press stat
ed that it is the intention of the coun-
ell of New Ulm to charge higher rate
for commercial lighting, the schedule now
being eight cents per 1000 watts. The
Review of that city in its issue of yes
terday throws more light upon the mat
ter in the following:
"The condition of the city treasury is
evidently getting pretty serious, and it
would be well for the officials to con-
slider some means other than that of
taxing the property owners for the en-
tire amount of the street sprinkling, to
make up the deficiency, and one of the
ways to do this would be to make a
radical change in the method of charg-
ing for the light that is furnished to
users of city light. 1t is safe to assume
that the plant can never pay at the low
rate that is charged, and while it is graft
flying to the users that aside from the
cheap rate they are also furnished a
meter, it is not fair to the city. No user
of light having meter should be allowed
to pay less than fifty cents month, or
some such stated amount and if his
meter reads more than this, what is adj
ditional to the stated amount should be
added to it. Some of the meter read
ings for month are not sufficient to pay
the man for the time taken in collecting,
to say nothing of the expense of taking
care of his accounts. There may be
better ways than this, but it would seem
that wisdom wouad dictate some method
better than the present one."

HEIR TO A FORTUNE.
Charles Minckle Is After a Slice of a
Bio Holland Estate.
From Thursdays Daily

rIOm IuuISuo1y hdHy.
Oconomowoc, Wis, Aug. I2.-Wllliam
W. Minckle of this place has received no
tice that he is one of the heirs to an es-
tate valued at $29,Oo0,OOO, left to the
Minckle family by the death of a dis
tant relative in Holland.
Mr. Minckle, who first heard of his in
heritance through an uncle, Charles
Minckle of Mankato, Mimi, is one of a
number of claimants, as his great grand
father and two great uncles emigrated
from Holland early in the last CEN
fury and he has kept little trace of their
descendants outside the immediate cir
cles of his fathers fanny.
Two uncles and sister live in Min
nesota and an aunt, Mrs. Wrightworth
and three sisters have their homes in
this city. He also has sister residing
in Illinois Mr.. Minckle has a large
family and is in moderate circumstances.
1t was learned by The Free Press to-
day that VIM Minkel is a wealthy far
mer about sixty years of age living
seven miles from Mapleton, and that
Chas Minkel is his son, about twenty
five years of age. So far as known they
have not been expecting any legacy.

frames Sharp Talk.

A. ]. Frame is the president of bank
in Waukesha, and recently he wrote a
communication to newspaper in which
he discussed the currency question, more
particularly that phase of the situation
pertaining to elasticity. He handled the
subject without gloves and among other
things he said:
promoters have not been able to sell
enough of their watered stock to the
innocents to pay loans so that banks
might meet the call of the country for
cash to move the crops.
political economists of all ages have
wrestled with the knotty elasticity prob
lem in the hope of evading panics, but
failed.
'In these latter days the woods are full
of popular elastic nostrums to cure a
case of short cash to move the crops,
when the true diagnosis proves that the
common principles of prudence have been
violated and overspeculation and excess
siye promotions have run riot"
Mr.. Frame has the happy faculty of
stating the case in few words, with
out the use of a job-lot of tabulated
figures and several columns of theories.
Overspeculation is the cause of the
trouble, and yet people will not seem to
stop the craze for this ruinous practice.

That New UIm Plant.

Considerable has been said of late rela-
tive to the New Ulm electric lighting
plant. 1t has been reported that but
five men are employed by that city to
operate the waterworks and electric
lighting plants. This is mistake.
Eight men are Employed superinten-
dent, two engineers, two firemen and
three linemen. 1t is said that book
keeper will be employed within short
time, adding another to the force of en-
ployes.
A few days ago The Free Press made
the statement that the electric light
ing plant at New Ulm is not paying
operating expenses, and that the rate
per thousand watts is to be increased by
the first of the year.
The Free Press obtained this informa-
ton from a citizen of New Ulm who is
perfectly reliable.
The New Ulm plant has capacity
for 100 arcs and $500 incandescents.

In Re rlanual Training.

In deferring action on proposition to
purchase additional paraphernalia for the
manual training department of the high
school, the board of education exhibited
good judgment. The finances of the dis
trict, as The Free Press understands the
situation, should be carefully guarded
just at present The funds are not over
flowing and there should be no eXpendi-
lures of money only in such cases as are
necessary for the good of the schools.
This manual training department has
already cost the district snug sum.
The one great trouble with the depart
ment is it does not reach those who are
mostly in need of the instruction. Last
year about forty-fve young men, mem
bers of the high school classes, were
given the use of the department. Those
in the grades do not have an opportunity
to handle the tools and acquire know
ledge of carpentry and other trades.
If there is such thing possible ar
rangements should be made by the board
to permit those pupils from the grades
to get an insight of manual training
not confine it to higher classes. Posi-
bly, this suggestion could not be worked
out satisfactorily.
The district has over $4,000 lying idle.
A portion of this is in the sinking fund
and the balance belongs to a building
fund, if we mistake not. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that this sum of money cannot
be placed at interest so that the district
could derive some benefit from it.

The Right Stand.

Judge Clifford d. Gregor of Albany,
N. Y, is to be commended for the stand
he takes regarding the issuance of ma
turalization papers:
Il will not naturalize any person who
comes before me and is unable to speak
the English language sufficiently to make
himself understood. l will compel them
to answer questions regarding their ages,
place of nativity, when they arrived in
the United States, and any other ques-
lions which | deem essential to good
citizenship, and if they fail to make
satisfactory answers | will refuse to
grant them the necessary papers. When
a man has been in this country five years
and is unable to talk our language in
my opinion he is not fit to be admitted
to citizenship, and l will act according
~" The judge rejected sixty applica-
lions for the reason that the applicants
could not speak the English language.
