Two Letters.

Mr.. Cleveland's letter to Mr.. Thomas
F. Ryan accepting the trusteeship of
the Equitable has been hailed in some
quarters as a settlement of the con-
troversy. It has even been printed In
facsimile and distributed wherever it
was thought the name Of the ex-presl-
dent would have soothing influence.
Yet Mr.. Cleveland s letter is not, half
as important as Mr.. Ryan s letter. Mr..
Ryan's letter declares that Mr.. Ryan
owns the stock himself and is under no
obligation to any, living person. When
it was first announced thatshe had pur-
chased the stock the announcement took
the plural form. It was he "and GER
tain other policy holders of the Equi-
table, who had purchased the stock.
Either Mr.. Ryan did not have any
associates in the deal or he got rid Of
them Immediately, and proceeded to
name three trustees who were his per-
sonal friends, or else he did have as
sociates and is not now the sole owner
of the stock. .,. -.
The public seems to prefer the ex-
PLANTATION that Mr.. Ryan is the owner
and is basing its opinion of the deal
rather more on Mr.. Ryan s known
character than upon the known char
acter of his chief trustee. VI This opin-
ion is not favorable. MI. Ryan is the
tobacco trust man, he is the Morton
Trust company man, he is the Third
avenue elevated man and he is the
man who invented the plan Of getting
100000 out Of the safe Of trust
company by the process Of first loan
ing to the office boy. Minneapolis for
merly had Guaranty Loan company
which guaranteed mortgages made by
the elevator man. It knows what be
came Of that company, but nobody
knew what became Of the money Of
the people who bought the elevate,
mans mortgages plastered with guar
antees. Mr.. Ryan may be a sure
enough wizard, but the public is bi
tired Of wizards in the insurance bust
ness. 1t would rather deal with or
binary citizens for while. Ill.,.
The rejection Of the Frick report !

haps mistake to have Hartman O.
the committee because it put a Wa
street cloud over the document. TIL
report itself is mastery exposition o
the facts and outlines the only tru
reorganization of the Equitable on
sure, sound insurance basis. Mr.. Rya
and his Mr.. Paul Morton may be abb
to rehabilitate the company in publ
confidence, but it will be hard wor
when neither the one nor the other ha
the confidence Of the public to begi

At meeting held Monday, March 27, q
committee was appointed to secure the
best terms and present the same to the
park board. sgs#
This committee waited, upon w. ].
Dean, securing a price 81 $4,000 for his
tract containing about twelve acres. Elem
~ Oswald held his property at $4,000. but
after several conferences and much dis
cussion we finally secured 81 price of $4,000
for about eight acres with his Water
power rights
A complete statement Of these transact
tons and results was published in the
daily papers and the North Minneapolis
Chronicle In issues dating from April 9
to Is.
Commissioner johnson filed the petit
ton with the park board at Its first
meeting in April. The committee from the
park board viewed the grounds in COM
pany with several Of the Camden Place
business men, and suggested that the
triangle at Washington and Lyndale ave-.
nues be secured, and requested this COM
mittee tos obtain figures on that parcel
OF land to complete the park. That was
| also done.
In no case did the owners solicit
| this committee for the purchase of their
property, and absolutely no inducements
were offered to the members of this COM
| mittee for the sale of any property, and
we respectfully invite any investigation.
No objection had been raised to the
acquisition of this property for park pur-
poses. no one appeared before either this
committee, the park board or at any Of
| the regular meetings Of the park board
| with any objections and in our Judgment
the park board was fully justified in it's
action In designating and acquiring this
! beautiful tract of land, which Is conceded
by all to be one of the most natural and
slightly places for a park, and we believe
| that the residents of Camden Place who
have the best interests of the North Side
| at heart concur with us in securing this
much desired Improvement.
| Misleading reports and misrepresenta-
| tons have been made in reference to the
cost of securing this property and have
been the basis Of securing signatures, we
are. informed, to a petition against this
project. The original cost is $685. 900. To
this will be added the interest for ten
years. making a total of s34, $780, This
amount will be paid in ten annual in
| stallments Of $9,458 a !, year. 1t has
been estimated that there are about 5000
| lots in the territory which we believe
| will be specially benefited by this i'm
provement, which would figure as an av-
erage of only 70 cents a lot a year; this,

of assessors. Their usNal procedure is to
assess the property nearest. the improve
ment heaviest and gradually reduce the
assessments from the park. We have
carefully estimated this to range from 81
a lot, near the park, to so cents a lot
on the property five or six blocks away.
Thus no hardship need be expected to
be placed on anyone in this matter. Re-
specially, j. A. Lane,

done about it's All Cinnamon look
alike TO custom-house officers. 1t the
officials should accept without cues
ton the Chinese passports the country
would fill up with coolies in a season.
In any place in China a coolie can buy
certificate he is a merchant or a
student or a member of any aof the
non-excluded classes On this certif-
cate he can get a passport into this
country. Whatever precautions are
taken by the immigration bureau are
taken to prevent fraudulent entry Of
Chinese laborers who are excluded by
treaty. But why, it may be asked, do
not Germany and France find it neces-
sary to execute their laws as harshly as
does America. Because China Is coolies
do not go there. They are bound for
America.
The whole difficulty arises from the
monotonous resemblance between Chi
nese Of different classes and from the
fact that fraudulent certificates can be
purchased in China from Corrupt gov
