The Chicago Grain Trade.

That Chicago is determined, at any
cost, to maintain her prestige as a grain
market, may be, Judged from the fact
that her Board Of Trade is moving fol-
the repeal Of the anti-option law. Until
today the matter Of alleged rate dis
elimination against Chicago was the
only cry. With it is now heard the com.
plants Of that element in. the grain
trade whose activities are confined tc
the trading room floor, or the pit. -
They are not doing enough business
The Chicago board was, some time
ago, the leader in the fight against
bucketshops. Minneapolis fought them
ct the same time, Here the opposition
10 them has been allowed to become
euiescent. Chicago has now gone far
ther and seeks the repeal of law
passed to strike the bucketshops, but
B now found upon strict interpretation tc
initiate against the interests Of the
Board of Trade as well.
Probably no question Of a commercial

the courts, with SO little Of definiteness

effect that the quotations originating

The action Of the senate in taking the
control Of the new capitol out of the
hands Of the governor because he happens
to be a democrat and creating new
office of custodian at a salary Of SO, 900
year will not have the effect of max
ing the senate appear any better before
the people Of the state. In the first
place, it is small partizanship to estab-
fish a new rule about the custody of the
capitol because the governor happens to
be of a different party from that of the
majority of the senate. In the second
place, the salary of $4,000 for custodian
of the building is ridiculously and waste
fully large. Three thousand dollars is
more than is paid to the commissioner
Of labor; as much as the salary of the
superintendent of all the schools Of the
state; and is within $500 of the salary
of the state auditor, who, in sense,
is responsible for all the property of the
state. Fifteen hundred dollars would be
a big salary for the job, and everybody
knows it. -~e sn

deck Rousseau ministry Of Republican
defense - took the reins and faced the
strenuous efforts Of the enemies Of the
republic to disturb the existing regime,
basing their endeavors upon the agita-
tion Of clericals, anti -Semites and the
pronounced supporters Of the defunct
monarchy. Waldeck- Rousseau pre-
served peace in France and began the
enforcement, of the law of religious as
sociations, which compelled the re-
igious orders to obtain authorization in
due form from the government.
When Waldeck-Rousseau resigned
voluntarily in June, 1902, the radical
element in the chamber was strong and
the cabinet was held in check by him,
and four years Of radical direction had
not injured France as predicted.
Premier Combes retained three mem
bers Of the Waldeck-R Rousseau cabinet,
Andre, Delcasse and Mougeot, and
among his pledges he said the govern
ment would administer the religious as
sociations law with "firmness.'' This
he did by enforcing it in way M.
Waldeck- Rousseau declared he never in
tended; Combes had exceeded the spirit
of the law. The drastic policy, how
ever, was sustained by large ma ority
whenever an appeal was made to the
chamber, and the expulsion of the re-
ligious orders and breaking up of cleri-
cal schools for the purpose of national
izing education, brought about collision
with the Vatican.
Diplomatic relations have been sew
cred with the Vatican and the concordat
has been practically abolished, altho
Combes declared in January, 1903, that
the government favored the mainten-
ance of the pact.
It was the purpose Of the Combes min
istry to complete the separation of
church and state in France, and the
Vatican has been taking steps to meet
such possible change. The Combes ma.
iority, which has all along supported
this purpose, may continue to do so and
yet the fckleness Of French politics and
instability of party maiorities are such
as to require an Interrogation mark over
the present situation. A radical min
istry, under such restraint as was ex-
ercised by the late Waldeck-Rousseau, is
more probable than any other. M. Bris-
son, president Of the chamber, may be
called upon to form a new cabinet. AS
far back as 1885 he was strong advo-
cate, with Jules Ferry, Of the separa>
tion Of church and state. M. Rouvier,
who is prominently mentioned, has made
a consistent record as an aggressive
member Of the extreme left in the
chamber, ever since 1871, and has been
in two or three cabinets, notably that
of Jules Ferry, and he has been finance
minister on the Combes cabinet.

Tuesday Evening,
It in Chicago they sent their orders t,

it in Chicago they sent their orders to
Minneapolis.
Chicago saw this with alarm. Heroic
measures were necessary, lest Minneapo-
lis should gain something. There was
no law in Wisconsin preventing trading
in privileges, and SO the big Chicago
firms, mainly to check Minneapolis,
came up to Milwaukee and revivifed
that long dormant market, and traded
there. It had the effect of putting a
slight, temporary check upon Minneap-
oils, but it availed Chicago little.
Now Chicago has been thru bad
year and she is looking around for rea-
sons. She is dissatisfied and would like
return tp old conditions when she
dominated;'when no other grain market
moved but to follow her; when, if she
closed for a: day, other exchanges did
nothing. These conditions are not
likely to return. =, &EY ys'>
The sum of it is that, however Chi
cago may try to conceal her actions
behind charges of rate discrimination
or move for repeal Of anti-bucketshop
laws, the basis Of it all is jealousy
of other growing grain-trading centers
principally Minneapolis. IT, ,-s

MAKE THEM ELECTIVE
ONE LOCAL soLoN HAS A BILL
AIMED AT HEADS OF SEVERAL
CITY DEPARTMENTS.

One member Of the Hennepin delega-
ton is said to have a bill up his sleeve,
soon to be introduced, which will take
from the council the election of the
city clerk, city assessor and city at.
torney, making them elected by the
people.
The bill is said to be framed by the
Dunn leaders in Hennepin to punish
some of the city officials for their atti-,
tude in the recent campaign. The trou-.
BILE with it is that the bill would be
an amendment to the city charter and
would be invalid under the constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting special
legislation.
Bill to Create New Department.
Another political bill is about to
make its appearance. It is being drawn
to create separate department of food
inspection and to take this work from
the hands Of the state dairy and food
department.
The political feature of the bill is
that the commissioner is not to be
named by the governor, but by a com
mission of republican state officers.
This would take the patronage out Of
the hands Of Governor johnson. 1t
is said to be drawn in the interest of
some former members of the depart
meut,

Phone Service at Chamber of Com

Important changes are under way
at the Chamber. of Commerce that will
tend to centralize the chamber end Of
the numerous lines of communication
now radiating from the building. This
morning the Northwestern Telephc7 a
company installed a long distance
board, with an operator in charge, and
the Northwestern and Twin City com
panies will set up switchboards on the
floor, with two operators, who will con-
troll the thirty-nine open telephones
now lining the south wall of the ex-
change room and the numerous private
lines. -..E..E ....

things about me; but you never heard

Whatever one may say or think about
Hiler n. Horton of st: Paul, it must be
freely admitted that he Is very clever
person. Who but Hitler could have rail-
roaded that bill thru the senate last
night, with thirtyfve votes out Of thir-
ty-nine, as an emergency measure ~
After all the newspaper ventilation Of
the bill, the senators sat last evening
with open mouths and swallowed every
word Of Horizons mellif1uous periods.
They accepted his statement that the
bill creating $4,000 job for his friend
seabury was an emergency measure: -
Why didn It he make it $4,000? The
building cost several millions, and no
one is going to haggle over few pica-
yunish thousands. What's $1,000 be-
tween friends7
Of course an emergency exists. The
. capitol should be run on business prin-
ciples, with definite appropriation and
careful supervision. The legislature
should define its status right away, But
while passing BILL the members might
as we'll pass one of the right sort. Tt
would not take any longer to meet the
emergency in that way than it does
with the Horton bill.
The state board of control occupies
rooms on the ground floor Of the build
ing, It is non-political business
board, created expressly to run state
business and state buildings with econ
omy and good Judgment. Is there any
good reason why this board should not
be charged with the care of the build
ing it occupies?
While dealing with an emergency, the
legislature is also settling an important
problem. When the capitol commission
has finished it's work, some one else
must run the building, either a separate
commission, the governor, or the board
of control. An act giving the building
in charge Of the board of control would
settle the question now and for all.
Mr.. Horton 8 bill goes into the house
today. There is no Horton in the
house, and if the doorkeepers do theil
duty and exclude the hypnotic influence
of the gentleman from Ramsey, the
house members may do little business
with the emergency themselves.

Expert Testimony at New Ulm.

HdnuWrlL1ng experts nave clOSgeQ the
courts for a long time. They were very
numerous in the celebrated Colon for
gerry case tried in Minneapolis some
years ago In that case they made
valiant but futile efforts to prove that
the, defendant wrote the signatures in
certain deeds. The experts on the other
side, with equal force and cunning,
proved that the signatures were written
by the aged prosecuting witness. The
result was such a deadlock that the
jury disagreed and it was never ascer-
tanned who wrote the signatures or
whether they were written at all. Some
people are Of the opinion that they were
not, but, like Topsy, "jest growed.'
Some years later, handwriting fends
got into the Molyneaux case and sue
ceeded in swearing SO strongly to his
chirography that he nearly went to the
electric chair as the result. Now comes
the New Ulm case, and the jury is con-
fronted with two kinds Of perplexing
expert testimony. Not only.is the hand
writing man there, with his standings,
his upstrokes and his other deliriums,
but they have brought in typewriter
experts who are writing pieces on ma
chimes in court and holding forth an
alignment, tone Of certain letters and
other matters that must make the Jury
feel like breaking out in wrath.
Very little of such evidence is worth
the time it takes to give it. Molyneaux
is the only man convicted upon expert
testimony, and the higher court saw the
injustice and danger Of it and sent the
case back, with the result that he is
today free man.

BIsPHAM SINGS TONIGHT
He Appears With the Symphony Orchestra
at First Baptist Church.

David Bispham is to sing four great
numbers with the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra this evening in the First Baptist
church. Besides the stirring prolog from
"Pagliacci' and Hans Sachs monolog
from "Meistersinger," he will sing the
beautiful ,"Evening STAR song from
'"Tannhauser' and an aria from Verdi's
opera, "Falstaff," never heard in this city.
In all the operas from which the selec-
lions are taken Mr.. Bispham has made
deep impression with the public, and
no singer Of today has equaled him in
these roles.
With the exception Of an operate en-
gagement, this is the first time Mr..
Bispham has ever been heard in the city
with an orchestra and without which ev-
cry great singer feels handicapped.
The orchestra has prepared beauti-
full program, and the concert this evening
will be one Of the rare treats of the
season. - -
