pose OF coming 10 some understanding

The Home Rule Bill.

The Tighe home rule bilIewhich amends
the existing home rule. law, was
recommended for passage yesterday aft
ernoon in the house committee Of the
whole. While: the bill was originally in
tended largely to increase the scope of
possible municipal indebtedness with a
special view to getting st. Paul outsof a,
hole, ADVANTAGE of the opportunity has
been taken generally to revise and i'm
prove the home rule law The ma Iii
change, that raising the possible limit of
municipal Indebtedness from to 10 per
cent, has been discussed at length in
these columns, with conclusion favorable
to the bill as it now stands. An inn
provement over the original law is the
authorization of special elections both for
charter adoption and amendments thereto.
We could have wished that the bill had
provided that the proportion Of affirmative
votes required for the adoption of a char
ter or amendment thereto had been ap-
piled only to voters voting thereon, in
stead of to all voters at the election. Mel
ther municipal nor other public questions
should. be settled by those who volun-
tarily ,disfranchise themselves, and they
only, are competent to pass on them who

Mergers and Mergers,

seems. That faithful friend of the Jim
Hill mergers. the Minneapolis Tribune,
is on the verge of a collapse from excite

Now this is very puzzling and distress

has got US we'll educated up to the idea
that the abolition Of competition between
transportation lines Is good thing, and
after we have learned the smoothly taught
lesson that the facilitation of transporta-
ton by concentrated control Is in every
way desirable, and vastly superior to the
old method of runous competition, our
tutor suddenly cries out nightly and in
sistently for competition and lauds the
$780," the only original and tireless rate
kicker. and gloonily deplores the maligr
power of the vessels merger.
But then we ought to expect that sys-
tenn of transporta ton philosophy hastily
created to defend one merger could not

A Budget Contest.

It is curious fact that the American
and the British budgets are now running
a neck and neck race for supremacy III
size. The taxpayers of neither country
will take any patriotic pleasure in the VIC
tory, in this International contest.
The British budget for the ensuing year
will probably be $3.50. 100000. 49,.
The congress that has just adjourned
appropriated about $1,000, 100000 in two
years.
We have not at hand the details of the
proposed British budget, but it is an
nouneed that the war and navy depart
ments will demand s64 800, 900 each, or a
total Of nearly $3.50, 900, 900. =. Our army .an6
navy departments do not demand any
such sum, but the appropriations for then
are increasing at a rate that makes il
probable that ere. long we shall be spend
ing as much money on the navy, at least
as the United Kingdom In 1892 we spen,
$24, 900, 900 on our army,rin 1904 we shall
spend $4,000, 900, or sSs,ooo,ooo including
coast defense.
| In 1892 we spent $32, 100000 on the navy
and next year we shall spend $S4.00O,00O
The army appropriations are not likely tt
increase much hereafter, but there are
reasons to- believe that the navy appro
priation will be much higher. There seems
to be. a strong public opinion behind thu
movement for larger navy. Already We
are spending half as much on our navy a:
the worlds greatest sea power. .... 49,.

Stand by the Board.

BY the action Of the lower house Of the
legislature this morning in accepting the
report of the committee on general legisla =
ton regarding the Peachey bill, and in vot-
Ing to take the Morley bill from the table,
on the floor Of the house for and against
the board of control.
The committee report is practically a
board Of control measure. 1t strengthens
the hold Of the board on the Owatonna
school and the %Faribault institutions, and
largely removes the normal schools and
the university from the boards authority
but leaves the board in supervision of the
expenditure of moneys appropriated for
new buildings or improvements in those
institutions. IT. -: -
This compromise as to the university
will probably not meet with the approval
of that institutions friends In the legisla-
ture, and they are likely to continue tc
stand by the Morley bill. as a whole, being
rather indifferent to what becomes Of the
board Of control, so that they get for the
university the status it is entitled to.
AS for ourselves. while we think the
university should be totally independent
rather than see such an attack on the
board Of control az the Morley bill enacted
into law. we would prefer the amended
Peacf1ey bill
The friends Of the board should nov
rally for a determined fight for principle
and state interests against mere selfish
localism.

Goodwin Smiths Wisdom.

There is probably no better balanced
mind on the American continent than that
of Goodwin Smith. Probably, too, there
is no other living thinker so capable as
he of approaching every question without
passion or prejudice. To these qualities
he adds an almost unparalleled facility Of
expression. It Is to be regretted that the
writings Of this admirable old man, nov,
in his eightleth year. are not published
regularly In some periodical of wide cir
culation instead of hidden, as they are, in
the columns Of farmers paper, the
Toronto Weekly Sun. But the farmers
that read that paper are fortunate. They
can not go on, week after week, reading
Professor Smiths wisdom, without in
some degree being in1bued with its spirit
and philosophy. !.

the note Of alarm one Colonel Kitson has
been sounding regarding the defenseless
condition Of Canada with respect to a
possible American invasion. Says Pro-
fessor Smith:
The colonel has been military attache at
Washington. In that office he ought
surely to have learned enough about
American sentiment to know that If the
slightest danger of American invasion
ever exists, it must be Of our own crea-
