A Little Nerve Required.

The municipal bond situation, with re-
spect to the 1915, of bonds the city has
offered without receiving single bid in
accordance with the conditions, is per-
picking, but will likely be heightened
out with the aid Of little nerve. AS we
understand it. the single bidder came to
Minneapolis with the intention Of taking
the bonds at par, but was deferred from
doing so by the condition Of the stock mar
ket that day. He then made a proposition
which amounted to taking the bonds at
9s&, the one-fourth per cent to be paid
to, him as commission for floating the
issue. Controller Rogers has taken the
position that 1t Is illegal to accept such
an offer, and is backed up by legal ad
vice. The controller is equally emphatic
In declaring that the council has no right
to appropriate money to pay the brokers
commission Such being the case, the city
is estopped from issuing the bonds at 31s
per cent interest unless the bidder changes
his mind.
In any event, the council should not
think of raising the rate to per cent,
which would increase the total interest
charge on the bonds during the thirty
years of their life by $122250. If it be-
comes definitely known that the bonds
will be 21s per cents at par or there will
be no bonds, the securities will be taken.
The fact that the school bonds, which
were taken by the brokers at par, had pre-
cisely the same terms as these, and are
now selling at 102, indicates that there is
ample margin for a legitimate profit for
the brokers in handling ss15,ooo of bonds
at par.

A party of American capitalists We're
in Winnipeg yesterday, and one Of them
said he had seen more big wholesale
buildings in Winnipeg in an hour than
he could see in St. Paul In half a day.
This is fine Illustration OF the way
the ''jollying' visitors sometimes gives a
orous young city,with great future before
it, but it will not do it any good to give
it the impression that it has more big
wholesale buildings than st. Paul, for.
as a matter Of fact, st. Paul Is especially
impressive in this respect, and Winnipeg
is not to be compared to 1t.

A European economist opposes the pro-
posed commercial alliance of Europe
against America on the ground that mere
ly by prohibiting the expectation of cotton
the United States could deliver a, crush
ing blow to the Industries of Europe In
discussing Chamberlain's tariff project.
Commercial Intelligence, an English pub
LEGATION, says that If the United States
should place an export duty on cotton
Lancashire would starve.s These authori-
ties do not seem to understand that the
constitution Of the United States pro-
hibits export duties. AS war measure
we could close all our ports and forbid ex-
done prior to the war of 1872. But it is
hardly possible that any change in Brit
ish tariff policy would justify an embargo
The one experience we have had with it
was not satisfactory. When it comes to
an embargo it is case of war. Indeed.
lit has been suggested that in the event Of
a war with Great Britain the United
States might win purely by a policy Of
mastery inactivity, doing little more than
to close the ports of the United States and.
Canada. But as a high tariff country our
selves, we would never dream of retail
ating against the adoption of such a policy
by England.

Should Not Be Marred.

There have been some earnest protests
thruout the country against what appears
to be really a lapse of reverent and patri-
otto regard and Difference for the observ-
ance of Memorial day. Latterly the proper
observance has been marred by an intense
devotion to athletics and other diversions
During the hours of marching to the GEM
eteries. of placing the memorial flowers
on the graves and of the public addresses
and prayers, vast number, of people are
diverting themselves in various ways for
eign to the service of the hour Would it
not be possible, if the day cannot be de-
tached from the sports, to have the sports
yield entirely for a portion of the after
noon to the central and designated cere-
monial Of the day?
The impressive feature of the Memorial
day ceremonial is. that it is sacramenta1
in itslsnature. The participants are sup
posed to take anew the cramentium-the
oath of fealty to their country the oath
which the soldiers Of the union sealed with
their life's blood. in token that they also
are devoted, solemnly vowed to and
whole idea of Memorial day is self sacri-
fee. That is the keynote Of the ceremon-
1al, which Is not the mere manifestation Of
of bit Of sentiment by any means. 9.
Viewing the day from this standpoint.
and it cannot be legitimately viewed from
any other. it acquires a deep significance
and a very impressive one. Not, indeed,
repellantly solemn, as If we believed these
souls were, indeed. dead but we renew
the oath of patriotism with joy and testify
our faith in the resurrection by the sig
niflcant offering of fresh and beautiful and
living flowers upon the affairs Of the
graves. Surely such service should be
cut out from the clangor of daily business
activities and the shoutings Of throngs
bent on self amusement. For a portion
OF the afternoon, at least, let us have
general reverence for the occasion as each
one reneWs his patriotic OATH

DR.. COE RUNS HIS RACE.

At Bessemer. last Saturday. DIR. Coe.
formerly Of Iron River was sentenced
to three years In the Penetentiary at
Marquette for forgery. DR.. Coe was
. veterinary surgeon. and came to Iron
county In 1893. He lived at Iron
River about a year and during that
time victimized everyone that hs
found gullible enough to allow him a
footing. He proclaimed himself a
candidate for sheriff although he had
been in the county but six months and
in various ways. was quite numerous.
But his time came. He got to the
end of his string one bright summer
day and decamped fioui Iron River
leaving trail Of debts as long as the
tail Of the newly discovered comet.
lronwood was his next camping
ground and he proceeded to get his
suger into the people mp there in about
as lively manner as he did down
here. But, he found out later on and
he skipped the country. A warrant
vas issued for his arrest on the charge
of forgery and after a long search he
was found in the state of Washington.
He was brought back and arranged on
the charge and found guilty. He now

public are relieved from the prospect
Of being "done" for two and one-half
