PARIS. Aug. s.-La Croix. the semi

the separation Of church and state. says
1t is not an approval of church associa-

LONDON, Aug. e.-In a dispatch from
Toxic the correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says it is stated with author
ity that Japan will consent to the es-
Enlistment of Chinese custom house
at Dalny TO levy duty on goods proceed
ing inland beyond the Kwan Tung Pc
ninsula only on condition that a. similar
system be inaugurated at the southern
frontier railroad stations in Northern
Manchuria.
1t is asserted, the correspondent con-
tinues. that at present merchandise is
pouring into Manchuria over the Sibe-
rian Railroad, both from European
Russia and Vladivostok, without the
payment of duty. 1t can therefore be
sold very cneaply.
Russia's policy, the correspondent
concludes, obviously is to isolate Port
Dalny and divert all the trade to vladi-
vostok In order to rob Japan of the
fruits of victory.

From Fridays Daily.
Mankato is to have another bank.
The stock has all been subscribed, and
an organization has been effected. 1t is
to be known as the German American
State bank and will have Il capital of
$500 The directors are w. c. Hen
lein, w. j. Merchant, Joseph Stahl, j.
A. Heilscher and Joseph Kroeger
The bank has purchased from Wen
dell Hodapp the building at the corner
of Front and Plum streets which for
some years has been occupied by J. c..
Thro's drug store. The building is to
be remodeled and equipped with modern
fixtures, burglar proof vault, etc, and
the second story will be made over in
to offices. 1t is expected to have every
thing ready so that the bank can open
for business by Oct. lst.
The stock has all been taken by local
business men, and the bank ought to
do well from the start. The directors
are substantial business men, who have
the confidence of all. Mr.. Henlein has
had fifteen years experience in the Ma
tional Citizens bank, working up from
a subordinate position to that of as
sistant cashier. He is careful and con-
servative banker. Mr.. Morehart is real
estate man and capitalist, Mr.. Stahl is
proprietor of the Stahl House, DR.. He'll
scher is practicing physician and has
been identified with several business en-
terprises, and Mr.. Kroeger resides in
North Mankato and is contractor The
location selected is good one, and there
seems to be no reason why the bank
should not take its place as one of the
city's prosperous enterprises.
Mr.. Thro did not learn until this
morning of the sale of the building and
has not yet decided where he will locate
his drug store, but he will vacate the
building as soon as possible, so that the
work of remodeling the building can be
taken up at once.

Output Of Copper.

The value of the copper produced in
the United States in 1865 was $l37.-
49S,727, as compared with $l05,629,S45
in 1904. The product of 1905 was much
the largest ever recorded in the United
States. Exports of copper to Ger
many, Holland, and other countries con
tinue to increase. During the month of
May ll,072,32O pounds were shipped to
Germany, as compared with 6,3Sl $40
pounds in April. Exports to Holland
were l4,l97 ,l20. pounds in May, an in
crease of over 100000 pounds as COM
pared with the preceding month. France
took 6,94S,4SO pounds and the United
Kingdom 5,l25,l20 pounds, being CON
siderable increase over the previous
months shipments. The Michigan mines
produced 2O,OOO,O0O pounds of refined
copper in May, which sold for approx
mately $3,I60,O00. r That was the larg
est output secured in any month since
copper was first mined i'll the Lake, SUI
perior region. 1t indicates an annual
production of 240,0OO,0OO pounds, but an
even larger product is expected as re-
suit of preparations made by the mine
owners to handle a greater output.

Which are dear to their hearts and pro-

which are dear to their hearts and pro
motive of their welfare has been grow
ing upon them. SO much stronger is it
liable to grow that some time i'll the
future the pleasant and frequently prof
liable task of electing United States
senators will be taken from the legisla
ture and placed in the hands of the peo-
pie entirely. The nomination of Il can
didate for the United States senatorship
in party convention is but a step in
that direction, SO our Chaska friend
must prepare himself for the inevitable.
Times and conditions have changed and
the views of men on political and other
questions change accordingly.
In line with this same question the
following comment from Golfers Week
ly will not be uninteresting: SIN the
bold attempt now being made by the
American people to be actually repre-
scented by their representatives, no
change is more noticeable than the drift
toward popular designation of senator's.
The constitutional method is easily an
nulied when the people will do it so. In
Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Florida, Illinois, Ten
nessee and Arkansas there are now legal
provisions by which the people can dictate
to the legislatures who shall be chosen sen
ators. In several other states tendency is
visible toward the same process. In
Maryland the demand for popular cleo
ton is marked. Oregon has just held
an election in which this power was used
by the people instead of by the legis
lature.
''In Rhode Island Colonel Goddard,
nominated by. democrats and indepen-
dent republicans, is appealing directly to
the people, but that state has no ar
rangement by which the will of the peo
pie will necessarily become effective. In
New Jersey, which is now most emphat-
lcally awake, George L.. Record, who
managed Everett Colby's now famous
campaign, is candidate for the senate
on a platform which declares for the
overthrow of the control of the party
organization by corporations through the
medium of the bosses, and to that end
the nomination of all candidates for
public offices by direct primaries with
out the intervention of delegates or con-
ventions.' Thus New Jersey is likely
soon to be added to the list of states
where the people name their senator's"
The people propose to regulate the
election of their representatives without
asking the consent of the politicians.

Save Your Bouquets.

There is a tendency on the part of
some of the leading newspapers OF the
country to praise congress for what it
accomplished during the session which
was brought to a close on Saturday.
There is no reason why any newspa-
per should enter into frenzy of bou-
quet- manufacturing for either senate OF
house. They did no more than the peo-
pie expected and no more than their
oath of office called upon them to do
If the people had not made themselves
heard congress would have done moth
ing in their behalf
Our senator's and representatives are
but public servants and they should car
ny out the wishes of the people. Quite
often, however, those servants do not
obey the instructions OF their masters.

ROAST THE COURT.
African Bishop Says Mean Things
Of the Supreme Tribunal.

New York, July 3.-Bishop Henry
conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal church, made another speech.
Referring to the supreme court of the
United States, and the adverse decisions
upon questions affecting the negro as a citi-
his knees to pray he had a hard strug-
gle with his conscience to refrain from
court.
Things are getting better for the ne
gro in this country" said Bishop Turn
er, 'as the white men have stopped kill
ing negroes and are killing one another.
But we should not blame the south al
together for the conditions that obtain,
for the whole government is responsible
Congress and the supreme court are cul-
pable.''
Bishop Smith discussed at great
length the constitutional restrictions
that prevent the president and congress
from interfering with the separate
states. He said that our government
was in this respect faulty in its con-
structiOn. England was far superior and
he prayed for a reconstruction of the
government so that it could give protec-
ton to black men who had fought for
the preservation of the flag.
Bishop Waters offered resolution
that the conference indorse the efforts
of the National Afro-American council
to raise $25O,0O0 to test in all courts
the illegality of the Acknowledgement of
the negro. :

WILL REASSESS.
Twist in the Law Followed by the
City Official.

When the application of the city
treasurer for Judgment against the lots
of H. L. Schmitt and Lawnsberry &
Simmons, because of unpaid assess
ments for the paving of Broad street,
came up in the district court this morn,
ing City Attorney Daley stated to the
court that inasmuch as this was the
original assessment, and the district and
supreme courts had declared the con-
tract void, he would consent that the
application for Judgment be refused.
The board of public works will now
proceed to levy new assessment, to be
exactly identical with the original one.
The city charter provides that reas-
sessments can be collected even where
errors have been made, although with
the original assessment errors invalidate
it. The two parties named are the only
ones on the street who are fighting the
assessment, and one is a non resident
owner.
