BRIGHAM YOUNG, AN IMMORTAL.

Ernest Thompson Seton who knows things about
animals the bust of Brigham Young placed in the
proposed Hall of Fame at ST. Louis. The Mormon lead
er, with forty-nne other worthless will represent
the genius of the West according the plan of Mr.
Seton.
"Ie pioneer" says Mr. Seton, referring to the
late Mr. Young and the redscoverer Of irrigation
He made the desert bloom and the West owes much
to him."
There those who will differ with Mr.. Seton as to
the right of Mr. Young to place in the Western Hall of
Fame That Mr. Young attained some fame is not to be
denied That he did much for his church his people
is not to be doubted, but the world knows Brigham
Young best because of his propensity indulge in what
Genties denominate polygamy and recognize by
imprisonment In fact, there those who would say
that Mr.. Young notorious rather than famous
1t may be admitted that he made stir in the West
and left his impress on his times But did the late
Mr. Tracy, whose genius of the wild West the West
of Brigham Young. So also did Messrs. Jesse James
and Wild Bill, but their claims place in the Hall of
Fame to have been overlooked by the man who
knows all about the four-footed animals
If Mr.. Seton insists Brigham Young then we are
all entitled to vote the worthless be given place
in the ST. Louis pantheon and vote that it be called
the Chamber of Horrors, instead of the Hall of Fame,
and nominate Col. Hickey, who something of an r-
rigationist himself and who did much moisten the
thirsty earth for position among the fifty mmortals.

ABOLISH RAMsEWs ASSESSOR.
Yoerg Proposes to LegisIate Connolly
Out of Office.

By virtue Of request from the gov
ernor the house yesterday received a
bill repeating the special law under
which Ramsey county has a county as
SCISSOR.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Yoerg, Of the Sixth ward. It's
effect would be to abolish the Ramsey
county assessor, the only official Of the
kind in the state, and put st. Paul and
Ramsey county in the position of other
cities and counties which have city
assessors elected by the common coun-
ellis and township assessors for the out
lying districts.
The bill is generally understood to
have a two-fold purpose. 1t would, by
repeating the special law, make the as
sessorship fit in with the elective pro-
visions Of the Gregory bill and. 1t is
said, its enactment would pay off
personal matter between the author Of
the bill and the incumbent Of the as
SCISSORS office.
If the Gregory bill should not become
law the office of city assessor would be
in the gift Of the council, which, in the
opinion Of a majority of the members
Of the Ramsey county delegation,
would not afford the taxpayers any ad-
ditfonal safeguards worth bidding for
at the expense of a special law which
has worked satisfactorily

PASS TWENTY BILLS.
House Clears Decks and Prepares for
Another BUSY Day,

The house yesterday disposed Of
calendJr of tWenty-three bills, passing
all but three. Simons' bill providing
a certified public accountant degree to
be conferred by the regents of the uni
versity was killed and two bills were
laid over by request.
The final disposition of the calendar
was not at all in accord with what ap-
peared to be its fate when it was first
taken up yesterday morning. The
Simons bill was first on the list and 1t
was slaughtered without ceremony.
The zest with which the members
voted mo" gave the friends of bills on
the calendar cold feet and it's farther
consideration was deferred until aft
ernoon, the house going into commit
tee of the whole.
The disposition of the general order
which fixed up a calendar Of eighteen
bills for today and luncheon evidently
put the house in better humor, and
in the afternoon the whole calendar list
with two exceptions went through
easily. The exceptions were the Hinton
bill providing fixed terms for field and
general officers Of the national guard,
and the Wilson nonsuppOrt bill. The
first was laid over at the request of
Mr.. Tfghe, and the Wilson bill was held
pending the receipt of another similar
measure which has been agreed upon
as more satisfactory by the commit
tee in charge.

PAY SAME OLD RATES.
Peterson Fails to Ressurrect His
Telegraph Toll Bill.

The Peterson fiat rate telegraph toll
bill is finally dead. Mr.. Peterson yes
terday made a valiant fight tc<again get
it before the house. but tE[ rules and
preponderance Of opinion were against
him and the measure will receive no
further consideration at this session.
1t was the slaughter of his bill Sat-
urday which moved Peterson to call
Helliwell, of Hennepin, God forsaken
cuss." Yesterday morning he started
on desperate campaign for reinstate-
ment of his bill, which had received a
formal funeral.
The speaker ruled against Peterson
on the question Of precedence in NOV
ing for reconsideration, which the
Brown county man raised Saturday.
Peterson then moved that the journal
be expunged Of the record Of the vote
Of reconsideration Saturday, and car
ried his motion. Then, on the assunp.
ton that in the absence of record
there had been no reconsideration and
such motion would be in order. he
moved to reconsider the vote by which
the bill was lost. The speaker declined
to entertain the motion on the ground
that vote on reconsideration must be
final
The Saint Paul globe., 1903-04-07

noted the absence of official representation the part
of the city.
He could understand that the mayor, the heads
of the council bodies the official representatives of the
people, ignored because of their politics and for
the further that their presence would cost pr
vate individual his place.
Mayor Smith is not stickler for his official rights
He would have been quite justified in sustaining the po
sition taken by Assembyman Arnold and declining to
allow the city pay the expenses of function that was
carried out for the aggrandizement of few private c
who might have least had the good pay
the bills.
The mayor ignored, the municipal bodies were left
out of the reckoning the directorate of the Commercial
club not represented in the management of the affair
Hereafter when the city entertains guest it might
be we'll to remember the experience of last Saturday
and before the public treasury is opened to have
distinct understanding as to whether the city or Mr.
George Thompson is to be the host.

IS THIS PROSPERITY?

Something like $4,000 workingmen went on strike
April because their share of the prosperity fairly sub
merging the country gets away from them
Which circumstance naturally prompts the inquiry,
Is this prosperity? For may be said the trusts
and the monopoes having unprecedented era of
prosperity They have boosted the prices of their prod
ucts from 40 per and the wages of their work
from to IS per cent. This leaves them mar
of not far from per cent increased pro-and thew
prosperous.
But the workman, who gets the 10 per cent increase
in wages and bumps against increased cost of living
averaging 40 CENTS he prosperous? Strikes and
of strikes would answer in the negative
And furthermore, if workman gets an increase of
wages amounting to 81 week and his living expenses
increased 81 week, matter of fact he is s. a
week worse off than when prosperity" struck him
And this is just the condition in which the workman
finds himself today. AS result he is dissatisfied and
goes strike by the thousand. Any daily newspaper
will furnish the details

MUST PAY BACK $1,000 TO COUNTY
Lycoming Auditors Surcharge the Old Board
Of Commissioners for Money Paid for
Work on Bridges During 1902.

Nearly $1,000 is surcharged to the
old board of Lycomlng County Com
missioners by the county auditors.
The surcharges are based on two
separate items, the stone work for
county bridges built during 1902 and
the painting of county bridges. Each
Commissioner is charged with the to-
tai amount of the excess, the amounts
surcharged to each being as follows:
Sherman, $67I7; Wheeland, $67I7;
McClarin, $3.50. McClarin was not
involved IN the bridge painting con-
tracts, having refused to sign them,
but is surcbarged along with the other,
commissioners for excess paid in build
ing bridge abutments.
The amount surcharged to McClarin
is equal to more than the amount of
salary he received during his term of
office, while the amounts surcharged
to Wheeland and Sherman are more
than double their salaries.
The matter will undoubtedly be car
ried into court by the three ex.Com-

ing has been doubled in size at a cost
OF $4,000. There is membership
OF 1900 young men here, a rapid in
crease from 400 having been made.
This Association is the headquarters
for thousands of young men in the
course OF the year, who come to this
clty-the gateway to South Africa.
Young men coming to the diamond
fields are accommodated by the Kim
berley Branch, which is TO have larger
quarters. The frontier point of East
London, Cape Colony, established an
Association few years ago, and is
doing valuable service 10 the young
men coming there from England. The
Mayor of Port Elizabeth, together
with the clergy, is moving for the
establishment of an Association
that town. The Durham Association
is about to expend $4,000 for the
erection of a building, towards which
the merchants have given 100000.
A membership of I 900 is expected.
Pletermaritzsburg has a scheme in
volvlng an outlay of $4,000 for a
threestory building for the city centre
of the "Garden Colony" In the
Transvaal and Johannesburg, plans
involving an expenditure of $25o,ooo
for buildings and improvements, are
launched. The Johannesburg Asso-
citation admitted I57 members in one
month. These buildings will provide
all that young man needs in the
way OF home and club privileges. In
these Associations, some of the lead
ing men of South Africa, including
the former governor-general, are en-.
gagged with enthusiasm.
Some ministers OF the Dutch Re.
formed Church went into voluntary
exile IN the South African prison
camps IN order to hold services among
the prisoners. AS a result OF their
services, over 40 men among them
enlisted as missionaries. Many of
these men have now entered training
schools and theological seminaries in
South Africa for a course of training
for their chosen work.

Official Board Resigns.

The trouble in the Mulberry
street Methodist church, Williams
port, occasioned by the appointment
of Rev. Houck reached a climax
on Monday, when the entire Off
cial board of the church resigned.
They have nearly all decided to
lift their cards of membership aud
attend some other church. This
action is taken by the board as the
quickest way of ending the diff
Guilty. While taking the position
of refusing to acknowledge the right
of the conference to dictate for
several years against the request Of
the board, they do not wish to con-
tinue the struggle indefinitely.
The matter of resigning has been
under consideration by the board
most of the week, and eliminated
in the decision Of seventeen of the
members to present their resigna-
tions on Monday. The members
say that portion of the member
ship has not sustained them in their
connection with the conference.
How large this portion of the men,
bership is depends entirely on the
point of view of the person making
the estimate. The Rev. Mr.. Houck
Will probably now select a new
board, and continue as the pastor
of the church.
