The Symphony Orchestra.

The Symphony orchestra, under the
direction of Mr.. Oberhoffer, has pro-
crossed beyond the experimental stage
and shown it's fitness to become an in
stitution Of Minneapolis. Under the
circumstances it is gratifying to know
that the backing which the orchestra is
receiving thru the guarantee fund is
more liberal and more cheerfully ex-
tended than ever before.
The excellent qualities Of the orches-
ira were exhibited Friday night in a
manner to greatly deli ht those who
have watched its development and have
hoped to see it take permanent place
in the city. ....>-
Perhaps no orchestra could be put to
more significant test Of artistic posi-
bilities than was the Symphony orches-
ira in those numbers in which it was
expected to play with the great piano
soloist and interpret with her and in
the same spirit the work of a master.
The orchestra met this test fully and
fairly. In its own numbers it acquit-
ted itself with more than credit. The
orchestra is now ample in volume and
well-balanced- as TO instruments. It
has sympathetic and effective leader
and the confidence of the music-loving
public. Nothing appears to stand be-
tween it and notable history of sue

Restrict the OUTPUT.

Senator George P. Wilson's declara-
ton in favor of preserving the revised
statutes from mutilation by the next
legislature has struck a responsive
chord in the state press. Let us hope
that it will be as cordially received by
the newly elected solons. Senator Will
son promises to make it his chief OBJ
Ject to prevent the passage of unneces-
sary and confusing enactments, which
would result in making that monumen-
tai work, the "code, - out Of date with
in year Of it's publication. He should
have the backing of the strongest men
in both houses in this praiseworthy
endeavor. Members can hardly. do
greater service to the state during their
ninety days than by killing out useless
and half baked measures, and reducing
the volume of session laws.
The revised statutes are not perfect.
Some defects have been, discovered
which should be corrected, but they are
obvious defects and can be speedily rec
tilted. There is some progressive legis-
lation proposed also, such as the anti
pass and 27cent-fare bill, a tax commits
sion law and kindred measures already
assured Of strong support. A county
option law will be the. center Of con.
test. Legislative districts should be
reapportioned. There is no reason why
these subjects should not be taken up
and settled on their merits. If enacted
into law they will be supplementary to

Postoffioe Site.

TO. the Editor Of The Journal =
!. I noticed in h ] Our n a | of a re-
cent date that there has been a move
by the Commercial club asking a post
ponement on the postoffice site. I have
been fully satisfied from the very first
that the appropriation was insufficient
to purchase either of the blocks that have
been considered. feel very sure we
shall have much finer building than
we have expected. Secretary Shaw real
ICES that the fast-increasing postal bust
ness demands building for all time
very much hope there will not be an
error in the location, as there has pre-
viously been in some Of our fine build
ings-namely, the 100000 courthouse
and the Guaranty Loan. Both of these
fine buildings should have been placed
somewhere between Second and Third
streets and between Hennepin and Mic
ollet avenues, it matters not what build
ings had to be removed in order to do
so. In my opinion, the Nicollet hotel
block is the very best location for the
postoffice; Central block and the old
city hall next; third and last, the Har-
rison (so-called) corner, Washington and
Nlcollet avenues. IT. X. Gray.
