THE REAL QUESTION.

The real question before the
people Of Bemidji in the move to
organize as a city is the charac-
ter Of city government which
shall be adopted.
Two plans have been proposed.
One, the organization Of the city
under the general laws, the other,
the adoption of a charter under
the so called s'home rule" act.
The promoters of each plan nat
urallJ- insist that theirs is the
best and there has been a good
deal of loose talk of grating and
charges of other low motives
back of the respective plans. In
deciding upon the proper form
of government to be adopted
these charges are of no concern
to the people Of the city. The
first thing to be decided is which
plan is the better for the city's
interests and the next step is to
secure the adoption of that plan.
Its pretty safe to say that there
will be grating under any form
of government, no matter what
that form Of government may be,
whenever the people Of Bemidji
are willing to tolerate granting,
and at no other time.
The discussionof the two plans
proposed is a good thing. WHAT
we want is the fullest possible
information on the subject. The
people Of the city should be in a
position 10 voteintelligently upon
this matter before any steps
whatever are taken.

Condemned.
? Moscow, Nov 13.-General Drag
omiroff, the retired governor general
of Kieff, has left here for his estates,
the car having no further use for his
services.
The circumstances Of the summary
dismissal Of General Dragomiroff
have just leaked out They striking
ly illustrate the humanitarian ideas
Of the Russian ruler. Dragomiroff,
who enjoyed unbounded favor at. court
and was the most popular man in the
Russian army, lost favor and his of
fee because he did not show modera-
ton in quelling the recentestrike riots
at Kieff Hearing that the strikers
might cause a repetition of the Kishi-
neff scenes Dragomiroff called out the
artillery and caused a wholesale
slaughter Of the rioters. It is said
that several hundred OF them were
killed. When the car heard the fact
he at once dismissed Dragomiroff,
with the words:
81 cannot have that man at Kieff
any longer. His hands are stained
with human blood"
