- The engagement at the Metropolitan
OF THE Forbidden Land" will close
with matinee today and a perform
ance tonight.
This musical comedy, while in no
way pretentious as a musical compo-
sltion, is nevertheless a highely divert
ing and enjoyable entertainment,
worthy Of more liberal patronage than
1t has enjoyed in st. Paul. The iia-
logue is superior in point of wit and
repartee to that of the average crea-
Ton OF this character; the lyrics pos
sess pleasing rhythm, and the chorus
comprises collection of graceful, pet
tie young women who are there to sing,
ana who do sing, rather than pose their
ngures and smirk across the footlights.
Inc principals, too, are exceptionally
satisfactory, vocally and drama tically.
A few more repetitions of such scant
encouragement of worthy attractions

COLD CUTS EARNINGS
OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL

CHICAGO, Sept. %. - The fifty
fourth annual report of the directors
of the Illinois Central for the year end
ed June 80. 1904, submitted to the
stockholders today, shows an increase
in gross earnings of 1854 per cent over
that of a year ago. On the other hand,
the operating expenses during the past
year show an increase Of $2,957,3 1867
over that of a year ago. making a de-
crease in net earnings of $I,393,66S
This amount was due, it is said. to the
prolonged and intense cold of last win
ter, to the increased cost Of fuel and
to an increase in the wages of en-
ployes.
Gross receipts during the year were
SAG, S31 600 and net earnings 1865, 900.
The average number of miles operated
during the year was 1910, against
1892 the preceding year.

What the Editors Say

Rather telling point is being made
by the opponents of the Republican
party, of the fact that Secretary Cor
telyou, Of the department of commerce
and labor. was selected as chairman
of the Republican national committee
The secretary of such a department is
certainly in position to have peculiar
knowledge Of the affairs of the great
corporations, and were he disposed to
could use such knowledge to good adj
vantage in making them dig up
Martin County Independent.
The board of regents of the state
university has decided that applicants
for admission as freshmen must be
able to read, write and spell the Eng
l1sh language, and that those who
fail to score rs in these rudiments will
not be admitted. These qualifications
for entering the university are becom-
ing strangely rigid-but it is wonder
the regents have not thought of it be-
fore now. A like rule might with good
sense be adopted by the state high
schools also.-Albert Lea Standard.
The serious charge is made by prom
1nent Dunn Republicans that the DEM
ocrats put up a candidate because so
many Republicans liked him and made
him platform to stand on that was
more pleasing to the Republicans than
the Democrats. This, If true, is in
marked contrast with the fact that the
Republicans nominated candidate
whom some of the party does not like
and formulated platform upon which
some Republicans refuse to stand
Badly miXed.-Waterville Advance.
1t must be clear to any fair-minded,
intelligent man that this biennial hue
and cry over the election of a United

trust to their ability and honesty to
vote right On all questions affecting the
interests of the peopIe.-Buffalo Lake

RECEIVER TAKES
STOCKHOLDERS ESTATES
Very Bad Showing Is Made for Bank
in Ohio

SIDNEY, Ohio. Sept. 23.-The es-
tates OF nineteen stockholders of the
American German bank and the affairs
of the bank were thrown into the
hands Of Receiver j. D. Barnes by
Judge Thompson, of the United States
court, in Cincinnati today.
Action to have the bank and all its
stockholders declared bankrupt was
brought on Behalf Of the estate Of John
Byrkhard. of Dayton. and other cred
itors. During the hearing it developed
that the bank carried over 100000 Of
deposits and the safe contained only
81 1000, while all the assets of the bank,
if taken at their face value, would
not reach $500, 900. and the liabilities
viii exceed 100000. Experts reported
that discrepancies of $4,000 in the
books have been discovered.

AN UNJUST ARRANGEMENT

Whatever may be thought of the
method provided in the irrigation act
for raising funds as starter, it should
certainly be modified now. Under the
in all the Western states are thrown
into a pool. This creates fund from
which the cost of irrigation works is
to be paid. But it is the government
only that can open the jackpot. None
of the states has word to say about
it, and the largest contributors fail to
get back penny Of their ante.
For example, taking the figures given
in T h e Gil b e's exhaustive article
on Friday morning, we find that the
largest contributor, Oregon, which has
put in more than 100000, has re-
ceived about half that amount in i'm
proyements ordered. Washington, from
which more than $2,5OO,0OO have been
collected, has not got back a cent.
Washington is state where irriga-
ton is as much needed and as prac-
ticable as is Oregon. But Oregon has
a big political pull and Washington
none. The greatest sufferer of all is
North Dakota. The contribution of
North Dakota to the reclamation fund
is over $3,500,00O. There is a project
on hand to spend s1,20O,000 ON a
scheme at Fort Buford. Not a cent
has been spent as yet, however, and
the allotment depends upon future ap-
prevail of the project.
The largest amounts expended SO far
have been put into Arizona and Ne
vada. The sections that furnish the
money go begging. Now, as we said,
it can be understood readily that this
policy may be defensible at the begin
ming. Engineering experts can deter
mine where money can be spent to the
best advantage Immediately. But there
ought to come a point when the selec-
ton Of improvements should be gov
erned, to some extent at least, by the
amount paid in. The fund now ex-
ceeds $23,o00.0oO. After that has been
assigned, the money coming in from
future land sales should certainly be
expended with some reference to the
source from which it is derived
We speak especially with reference
to the interests of North Dakota. There
is great opening for irrigation in that
state. A great amount Of land can be
brought under cultivation and made
exceedingly productive. North Dakota
has already furnished enough money
to carry through many splendid and
beneficial projects. North Dakota has
got nothing back. This ought not to
be and must not continue.
The subject has already engage the
attention of the people Of the state,
and of those who are most interested
in her material progress. They have
urged an amendment to the reclama-
tion. law, by which money shall be
spent for the benefit OF the state from
which it comes. We think that no In
Justice could be done in making such
a change in the law at the present
time. Those communities in which
public land sales have been largest
have already given of their substance
to maintain irrigation projects in the
territories, and in states where public
lands are either scanty or worti; little.
Now they should be authorized to utll-
ize their Own resources. Such change
Is demanded in the interest OF general

!
number OF men have been laid off with
out any wages, the cost OF living, in
1904 is fixed at 43 per cent greater than
that in 1892.
Those least versed in political econ
omy know that the value Of wages lies
in their purchasing power. The actual
money wage counts for nothing II
prices rise or fall. Now prices Of ar
ticles Of general consumption have
gone on and on rising, until the con-
sumner despairs of seeing the end OF 1t.
The days work Of the average railway
employe will now purchase but a por-
ton of what it would five or ten years
ago. And, as showing the effect of the
tariff system and Republican favorit-
ism, it is interesting. to note that the
largest decrease OF purchasing power
is in the items of fuel and lighting ma
ierials, where the coal and the Stand
ard Oil companies hold uninterrupted
sway; and in lumber and building ma,
terials, where our tariff protective mil
lionaires and syndicates have the whole
country by the throat.

you long ago that Mr.. Wright was

campaign speaker and every careful
reader will now be able to show by ac-
credited facts the enormously enhanced
cost of living accompanied with any
increase in wages. This condition
must continue until both our laws and
the administration are reformed, in the
interest of the people instead Of favored
capitalists and mighty trusts. =

THE LAW SHOULD BE TESTED

HE LAW SHOULD Be TESTED
All the authorities ought to coop
crate willingly to secure an interpreta-
ton by the highest authority of that
portion of the election law which pro-
hibits the use of the designation of
more than one party after candidates
name. Many good lawyers hold that
this provision is unconstitutional It
certainly is idiotic.
The purpose of all election laws
ought to be to give the fullest and
freest expression to :. the will of the
people, and to that end the courts uni
fornly construe them. Now suppose
1t happens to be the will Of the people
that certain man be elected to GER
tain Office. He cannot be elected by
the people as whole, but under the
law must be the choice of a single fac
ton. Desiring to owe his allegiance to
all, he must be credited on the returns
as the candidate Of a party.
The most important application Of
this rule, and the one where it is also
most important that an exception
should be made, is in the choice OF
judges. There is a healthy and grow
ing sentiment in favor Of taking the
judiciary out of politics. 1t is adj
mitted by Intelligent people that judge
ships should cease to be the spoils Of
political conventions; and that judges
should be chosen because they are
learned in the law and have upright
character, rather than because they
are yersed in politics and are good wire
pullers.
The great bulk of voters, who are
searching for party designation when
marking their ballots, who are little
familiar with the merits and claims of
respective candidates and who want to
discover the men who have the party
stamp, pass over a candidate who has
not their party designation, although
they may really wish him to be elected.
There is case in point in the present
election. One of the justices of the
supreme court has been nominated by
both political parties. Under the in
depreciation Of the law his name can
appear upon the ballot with only one
party name after it. This is absurd
and unjust. Whether it is unconstitu-
tional or not should be decided by the
highest authority at once; and wheth-
er it is unconstitutional or not, such a
useless and senseless provision will be
abolished.
