possession of the Baltic Squadron and

The strike in Finland is already a
failure. The latest reports show that
all rumors that the Baltic squadron
was in the hands of mutineers were
untrue. When the mutineers lbe were

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Henneoin Avenue Controversy

''eSHi avenue controversy.
TO the Editor Of The Journal,
l wish to correct a wrong idea in re-
cara TO our park board. From articles
III your: paper and also in the morning
press, the impression would be- given
tnat the park board had decided to keen
Hennep1n avenue III at least a passabJe
condition during the summer iTh;s 10
not Sthe case, and the board evidently
considers athat they have no duties tn
perform for the good of the general pub
hc' that~' they are not responsible for
contracts they have entered into. and
mat, they are free to waive any contra cts
when they so desire. 49,, ::
The action taken at their meeting on
the 21st was not ITO keep Hennen,n
avenue In condition" but to abandon The
street-turning over whatever. money
they had need Of for sprinkIinr to tbs
various ward funds. thus leaving the
street IN dangerous and almost i'm
passaole condition for want Of repairs.
ana leaving the public who use this prin-
elpal thorofare to the lakes liable to
damage ar and injury. thru It's neglect, II
seems 70 me. that such action by a pub
l1cr boagd OF our city should be known to
the people in general.
The board acquired this street for narb
~ SAAISr ny purchases
with the consideration that the prop
erty OF the donors was to be forever OK
empt from taxation for maintaining this
street as boulevard. The board have
fulfilled their part Of the contract for
nearly twenty years past, and have now
suddenly discovered that they do not like
the contract and therefore will give it
up A delegation of citizens attended
this meeting Of the park board and re-
quested them at least to retain control
ofathea street: until the question of their
right to abandon 1t was decided by the
courts. Particularly on the ground of the
special necessity for keeping one Of the
main thorofares In apparent good condi-
ton during. the Grand Army encamp-
ment, to be held here this summer But
the board had decided on the question,
and would not listen to any arguments
but simply abandoned the street, leaving
1t in an almost impossible condition not
only disgrace to the park board, but to
the whole city. -5,5t .s-.s: -5..,s.-,.
There is certainly no place where the
park board could spend money to better
advantage than on boulevard such as
this which Isl used by thousands of peo-
Pile where some of the boulevards on the
outlying districts are used only by hun,
dreds, and any board Of public service
such as our park board. Is. that: would
take such action as has been taken in
this matter Is deserving Of censure.

San Francisco's PROGRESS.

The gratifying record of the federal
army in taking care of San Francisco
after the earthquake is not to be marred
by its giving up the job too soon. Gen
eral Greedy recently notified the mayor
that he should withdraw the army June
/. The mayor Immediately appealed to
Secretary Taft, as General Greedy ex-
pected he would, for continuance Of
the troops for at least thirty days more.
General Greely's notice of withdrawal
was formal matter simply to get rul-
ing Of the department. upon the ques-
tion Of how long the army is to continue
to exercise the duties Of police force,
health department and relief commits
sion within the confines Of an organized
municipality.
The result is that the local autheri-
ties say they hope they can be ready to,
take over their responsibilities by the
LIST of July. That will be about two
and-a-half months after the catastrophe
occurred. The number of persons still re-
eeiving relief is estimated at $4,000. The
highest number on the rolls was 25l, 900.
The reduction Of 100000 probably repre-
sents the number Of people who have
been set to work in the city in rebuild,
ing and the number Of women and chill
dren who have temporarily been sent
away. The number is still so neon
veutently large that only the army can
handle it.
The excellence Of the service which
has been performed by the army is ex-
ceeded only by the excellence Of the
spirit which has prevailed between the
civil and military authorities. The
most complete understanding has exist
ed between the general Of the army,
who had all the power, and the mayor
Of the city, who had all the abstract
right. Their lines have not crossed,
and it is the general Of the army
who asks to be relieved, while it is the
civil officer who appeals to the military
autocrat to stay and help him a little
longer.
The spectacular and thrilling stories
of San Francisco have ceased to burden
the wires, but the work Of rebuilding
the city is going forward with energy.
On their own resources, as they soon will
be, the people of San Francisco will
still be the unconquerable host they
showed themselves on the day the
earth opened and threatened to engulf
them.

The Only Alternative,

/ Mr.. X Cassatt is coming home. They
say he is alarmed. He has reason tt
be. Every railroad man in this coun
( try has reason to be alarmed. What
has been revealed with regard to the
system Of graft and favoritism in the
case of the Pennsylvania railroad is
| not believed to be peculiar to that road
It is not unreasonable to believe thai
it is widespread, if not universal il
kind, tho, of course, not widespread il
equal degree.
The cause ofspublic ownership of al
public service properties and plants has
received an impetus thru the investigai
ton Of the Pennsylvania which car
scarcely be -overestimated. Those who
resist that principle have occasion tc
be deeply concerned. This is the era
of the square deal. If private owner
ship cannot guarantee the square deal
1T will have to give place to something
that will. e,.. 81 =
Look at the course of events. Time
was when the state built the public
road. In its highest state Of perfection
it became a toll road. A tax was
charged for it's use, but everybody
could use it and everybody enjoyed the
privilege on exactly the same terms
There was square deal.
Then the individual or association of
individuals built an improved roadway
or pike under government sanction, and
it also became toll road, but its use
was sold without discrimination. Still
the square deal. n
Afterwards came the railroad, an i'm
proved public highway, built by a cor.
poration to which the state surrendered
its functions to the extent that it might
exercise. the power of eminent domain.
This was granted for the public good
always and never with the idea that it
would be used to favor one citizen and
Cypress another. The railroad, SO far
as the right Of every citizen to an equal
share In its use is concerned, is a pub
lie highway just as much. as the original
highway or the privately bluilt pike,
with its occasional toll gate,a,at which
was collected invariably a fairsand uni.
form toll = -. @.e5$r
On that theory and on no other the
railroad has right to exist; it can be
permitted to do business on no other.
Any other assumption means the exer-
else Of power conferred by the state
to enrich one citizen at the expense of
another. That is intolerable and will
not be permitted.
- We are not in favor Of government
ownership Of railroads. We do not be-
lieve it would produce as, good service
in respect to quality Of equipment, con-
veniences and comforts as competition
between privately owned railroads.
There is no sufficient reason why the
abuses which are to blame for the
clamor for government ownership
should not be corrected, No doubt they
will be. As against public ownership
correction of these abuses is the only
alternative. There must be a square
deal. -...:' .,.t:. ~.

9 MINNEAPOLIS Credit.

I Minneapolis put thru a. profitable deal
when she sold the new issue Of 100000.
thirty-year, 4-per cent school bonds to
a Boston firm at premium Of 1O4.03,
OF "a total premium Of $4,000 on the
issue. The bond market Of the coun-
try has been in depressed condition for
some time. This is not bad indica-
tion for the. country. Money is being
used in great volume in commerce and
industry and not so much remains for
Investment in securities, which is one
reason for less active demand for bonds.
The situation is: such that railroads of
good credit, about to build new lines,
| and ready to issue bonds to cover con-
struction, have, instead, issued short
time notes bearing as high, as S per
cent. A 4 per cent railroad bond, in
the present market, would have to sell
at3ac discount. OF late the Minneapolis
& st. Louis road issued notes for i'm
provement money, to tide over until
there shall come more favorable time
for selling bonds, and the Pennsylvania
road borrowed heavily last week on the
same basis.
Municipalities have been affected as
we'll. Minneapolis was unfortunate, in
that her issue of school bonds when first
issued had their legality questioned. At
that time they might have sold at par
or7higher, at 31A per cent, the iginal
rate But pending a definition of their
status by the state supreme court,
which found them legal, monetary con
ditions changed, and when they came to
be reoffered they could not be sold. 1t
was necessary to raise the rate to 4 per
cent.
This increase in interest was not the
principal reason, however, for the sur
prisingly good bid. The extra u per
1 eent;7- the slight Improvement III the
bend market of late, would scarcely ac-,
count in full for the. price Of 1O4.o3..
The signing on Wednesday of this week,
by Governor Higgins of New York, of
the Stevens bill, designed to continue as
legal for savings bank Investments va
rious high-class railroad bonds and
certain municipal bonds, not heretofore
recognized, had effect. In the latter
class the securities of several western
cities, including Minneapolis, were men
toned. 49,. -.- ....,. g.. .....v ..x
g The whole illustrates that the credit
Of the city Of Minneapolis is high. Some.
comment has been made among financial
publications in the east, and it was good
opinion that the. premium paid would
be very small, with some doubt enter
tanned as to whether any premium. at,
alt would be Offered. The: sale will
probably. operate favorably. upon: >the.
municipal bond market as, whole, and

The Marriage of a. Monarch.

The youthful king of Spain, who
WILL wed British princess, a grand
daughter Of Queen Victoria, is him
self the grandson Of a queen, Isabella,
who was quite a different character
from the good Victoria and had a
much more checkered career. With
lsabella's accession began the T. long
and dismal Carlist wars whieh5 dis
tracted Spain for half century. It~all
grew out Of the abolition by Ferdinand
VII. Of the Salic law which forbade the
crowning of woman. Because of that
act when Ferdinand died his daugh-
ter Isabella came to the throne in
stead Of his brother Charles. The ad-
herents Of Charles or Carlos and their
descendants have been fghting ever
since for the restoration Of, their
branch Of the family to, power, Queen
Isabella, after a stormy career jHas
driven IN exile to Paris, where she
continued to enjoy herself while Spain
went thru hunailiating experiences of
civil war. When chaos had nearly come
the Carlists were temporarily, sup
pressed and the cortes proclaimed q
kingdom, but having no faith in, the re-
naming representative Of the Bourbon
family, elected Prince Amadeus, Sec
ond son Of Victor Emmanuel of italy,
king. His reign was short-lived. The
turmoil Of ruling Spain was: too much
for him and he abdieated,e leaving the
country without ruler. In this pre-
dicament the people Of Spain did some
thing scarcely expected of race which
has been the most convenient tool
of monarchs5 In all modern history.
They proclaimed republic. :This &C.
ton merely served to revive the droop-
ing spirits Of the Carlists and pre-
cipitate the country once more into the
horrors Of civil war. From this it was
rescued by General Camposj-s who
brought back from England the young
son of Isabella, Alphonso XII, who
was proclaimed king and who, having
married a good wife, was enabled by
her sagacity to hold his kingdom to
his death. After that event Queen
Christina, amid difficulties which
would have quelled the spirit of any
ordinary person, held on as queen re-
gent until her son, Alphonso Kill,
came Of age. 4
This is the young man who is to
marry the Princess Ena, with whom
he fell in love. Their union was not
accomplished without some Opposition
In England there were loud protests
from a few straight-laced reHgionists
at the thought Of British princess
turning Catholic. On the Other. side
there was q kick, in Spain on the
