Already the Nyquist boiler in
spection bill, which provides for
one boiler inspector for each sen
atorial district, and which was sent
through the house with a band
wagon stampede, and is now in the
senate, is receiving it's kicks. The
strongest argument against it is
that in Hennepin county it provides
for seven boiler inspectors, there
being that number of senatorial dis
tricts in the county; in RAMSEY
county there will be five and ia St.
Louis county there will be three.
That these inspectors are certain to
conflict there is no doubt, and the
bill is almost certain, consequently.

UPON WHAT MEAT.

The arrests following the sale of
alleged diseased meat is but the
elimination of complaints that have
been coming TO the authorities for
the past year or two, in this city.
and too much credit cannot be given
to the officers who have brought
about the arrests and fines.
The prices for meats ia Red wood
Falls have been, probably owing to
combine, as high as they are in
any city in the State. They have
been gradually raising, until now
the purchaser has to pay II and 10
cents for what once he could pur-
chase for ten cents. In other words
the local dealers have sent the
prices to the top notch, and kept
them there-no matter whether the
prices for live beef have gone up or
down.
But there has not been SO severe
a protest gone forth against the
prices as there has been against the
quality OF the meat or other stuff
sold. And this latter protest is
warranted. On several occasions
meats, or preparations, have been
vended at high prices in this city,
and the food stuffs so sold were
absolutely unfit for food.
This may be considered severe
talk, but it's the truth, and it is
time for the dealers to abandon the
idea that they are going to get rich
in year, or two years. and take up
the new idea that the meats and
other stuff vended must be fit to
eat and that they must be sold at
no more than a fair profit. Other
meu are ready to enter into the
business on this plan.
