table of figures compiled to show a
community Of interest" in the rate per
ton per mile on coal carried by the &C.
cused railroad companies.
Only three Of the five commissioners
were in attendance, Chairman Knapp
and Commissioners Yeomans and
Prouty.

PUBLICITY IN CITY AFFAIRS.

PUBLICITY IN CITY AFFAIRS.
We are are pleased to note that our
contemporary has "come to" suffi-
GENTLY to express mild opinion upon
the shortage in the city accounts. In
commenting upon DR.. Johnson's arti-
Giles relating to the accountants work,
the Gazette says:
''The Republican Gazette doubts if
newspaper controversy over this un-
pleasant matter is wise or in the best
interests of the city and individuals.
The matter should be taken into court,
with as little delay as possible. -
This is the first intimation in the ed
itorial columns of the Repu blican- G. a.
zette that there is anything wrong in
the accounts of the past administra-
ton OF the city. Judging by the viru-
lent abuse heaped upon those who
dared to suggest that the finances were
mismanaged and records improperly
kept eighteen months ago, it is evident
that the "best interests' of certain in
dividuals have been regarded as of
paramount Importance to the best in
terests of the city in the columns of
the Republican, azette. Had the pub
lie had no other source of information
than the Republican Gazette, the loot
ing of the city would have continued
indefinitely. The best interests of the
city are served by exposing rottenness
in public affairs and removing the
cause, not in covering up the same
and shielding guilty parties.

ATTACKS PRIMARY LAW.

N. P. Olson, editor of the Anoka
Free Press, has come to the conclu-
sion that it is impossible for the dem
ocrats in this state at least to get into
. power, and he has evolved q scheme
by which they can influence legisla-
ton anyway. He says this can be
done by working inside OF the repub-
lican party. He says:
"Suppose that, instead of going
thru these biennial mock elections,
they had for time abandoned party
lines and thrown themselves into the
whirlpool of republican politics and
there, together with reform loving re-
publicans, become the balance of
power between the good and bad ele-
ments within that party-will any one
claim that such a course would not
nave accomplished more good for the
state OF Minnesota and for the people
at large than has the course that has
been pursued?
1--WE believe the democrats of Min
nesota can reform the, republic an
party-that is, can eliminate the ras-
Gals and nincompoops from public
lie and substitute good, honest, cap
able men; and may also, from time to
time, inject the leaven of true democ-
racy into the republican ranks, But
we begin to doubt that they can ever
do it from the outside. They will
have to get within the breastworks,
and this they can easily do as indi-
vlduals, but not as BODY
c. B. Cheney, the political COM
mentator on the Minneapolis Journal,
took this as an Indication that Olson
intended to come the rest of the way
and turn republican. Olson denies
this emphatically, without explaining
what he meant the democrats should
do. But in another column of the
same paper appears little squib that
throws light on the subject. Here il
is:
In case the people of Minnesota
should see fit to elect men with brains
to the next legislature we may expect
to see the obnoxious primary election
law given it's death blow. A law
which compels q voter to proclaim in
public how he intends to vote, as the
primary election law does, is an i'm
position on the public and an insult
to the intelligence of free people.
Do you understand now W by the
democrats could do. as: individuals
what they cannot do as a body? If
they could 60 into republican pri-
maries they might in some instances
help nominate for Office men of rep,1b-
lican denomination and democratic
proclivities. For instance, they might
have helped defeat in the primaries
James Tawney and nominated Knat.
void, who was running on5a platform
half democratic and half populistlc.
1t Is q deep scheme. But Olson for
gets that it we go back to the old eau
Gus system the voters will still have
to declare their party connections be-
fore they can vote. As the scheme has Is
now been exposed the republicans: Z, are e
not likely to kill the primary election
law and substitute therefore some i ) I plan Il
that would enable democrats to vote
In republics primaries. This. Is
tough on the poor demo crats, but We
cant see how Il can be helped. s.

various plants OF the concern. A large
crowd Of unemployed laborors Of the
company stood about the scene Of the
riot at tho oompany's Offices, but were
orderly. One man charged with having
participated In the riot was arrested
Wednesday morning.
The additional troops from Toronto,
numbering about 200 militia, arrived
here about nine o'clock. Soon after
werd train left over the Algoma Cen
trail railroad for Wilde station to bring
back the woodsmen who were left there
Monday when the rioting broke out
about the oompany's works. The train
Is In charge of Is soldiers.
Another Arrest Made.
Later Alexander Bunton, who says he
has been In the employ of the Consolt
dated Lake Superior company for three
years, was arrested charged with intlm-
idation and melting to riot. With
Charles Martin, who was arrested near
the Office Of tho company during the
morning, he was brought before Magis-
trate Quibell and remanded for trial on
October 5, when the cases Of the other
nine men who have been under arrest,
charged with offenses OF 4 similar ma
ture, will be heard.
Brunton Is accused by the police of
going to the International hotel, owned
by the company, and ordering the man
ager to remove the women before plan
to burn the hostelry was carried out.
Resumption Is Welcomed.
The resumption Of street railway traffic
was received In welcome manner. An
armed soldier here and there prevented
possible interference on the part Of the
unemployed men, and tho cars were
crowded during the early part Of the
day. The arrival Of the additional sol
d1ers shortly after ten o'clock was re-
ceived in an apathetic manner, even by
the business men, who have been rather
uneasy during the presence in the city
of the large number. of unemployed men.
They were not cheered by the residents,
and there was no sign that the former
employees Of the con- ;oany did not welcome
their arrival. Officials of the company,
however, were grateful at; their ar
rival, and aided Col. Buchanan, COM
manding, In placing them at points
thought. to be IN danger Of overt acts.
The men atfWilde station and a number
Of miners at, Michipicoten who were ex-
peoted to arrive on the steamer Minnie
Wednesday, are the last Of the employees
the company will have to bring to the
city. There are now soldiers here IN
sumcient numbers to be stationed at all
landing points and prevent the trouble
which had been feared when these men
would arrive. 5:.= @.S .S Ss5s ..s.
