Condolences,

The strange story told by a default
ing debtor of his being recognized after
he had been for six years trying to
live down the past is not so strange a
story as one which came within the
ken Of Professor Jowett. A good man
went wrong, was caught and sentenced
at Liverpool to Imprisonment. After
the sinner had served his term Jowett
and others helped him, and he obtained
colonial editorship where his past
was unknown. He did well; was a
new man. One day a tornado swept
of the roof Of his Office. Under the
roof was discovered batch Of old
English papers which had been placed
there and forgotten after the mail had
brought them. He set members Of his
STAFF to work to get out of the derelicts
anything which might be interesting
enough to print. The first thing that
they found was a full report Of the
trial and conviction Of the man him
self, their editor, at Liverpool all those
years before.-St. James Gazette.

RAILWAY TO HUDSON BAY
Sale Of Government Land Will Fur
nish Funds.

Winnipeg, Man, May 4.-The Do
minion government will shortly sub
nit to parliament bill providing for
the construction of railroad to Fort
Churchill, on Hudson bay, providing a
new outlet for the rapidly increasing
annual yield of grain. The proposal
is to provide the proceeds from the
sale of the millions of acres of Do
minion land in even numbered Sec
ttons in the West hitherto set apart
as railway reservation lands. These
even numbered sections of railway
grant lands in the West, aggregating
some 30,000,00O acres, will shortly be
released for homesteading. It is esti-
mated that the proceeds from 3,OOO,-
900 acres of these lands, reserved by
the crown for sale, would in a few
years realize $3O,OO0,0OO, a sum sufl-
cient to pay the cost Of construction
of the railroad to Hudson bay by the
government.

Trouble Brewing for Street Car

HIGHER II PAY is DEMANDED
Organized Employees Insist That the
New Municipal Holding Company
Garry Out the Promises Made by
Its Predecessor.

Cleveland, May "A general strike
Of motormen and conductors employed
by the Municipal Traction company,
the new holding company which took
over all of the local street railway
lines under the recent peace agree
ment, appears to be imminent. The
Garments union demands that the new
company carry out the promises of
the old Cleveland Electric Railway
company, which promised an increase
of 2 cents an hour in the wages of the
men in the event the general street
railway controversy was settled. Pres
ident dr Pont of the holding company
has refused to recognize the old
agreement. President Behner of the
employees union said that the men
would strike Sunday morning unless
the advance was granted.

SHOULD MAKE BLUFF GOOD.

Grand Rapids independent
This business of the government
withholding franchises, concessions,
grants, ETC., as in the case advocated
by the president when he vetoed the
Koochiching dam extension of time
bill may be all right, all right, but to
the causal observer it would seem
that if the right to improve and
operate such natural resources is to
be withheld from private or corporate
control, the government should at
once proceed to take advantage of
the possibilities afforded by such re-
sources. The result would be two
fold-such an action would doubt
less be big money maker for Uncle
Samuel and the country around the
dam would develop into one of the
richest parts of this great state.
The policy of the government in
retaining for itself such rights as are
being striven for in the Koochiching
dam matter is very we'll and good
if it is carried to the proper lengths.
But refusing to let private individuals
or corporations develop the resour-
ces, and the government failing to
do anything with it, adopting, it
might be stated, a dog-in-the- manger
policy, would be most disastrous to
the northern part of Minnesota and
particularly to the towns and vicin-
ity most directly interested. 1t
would mean retarding of several
years in the development of a large
area of the northern part of the state
and the ruin of large numbers who
have staked their all in homes or bus
mess enterprises which are directly
affected by the action regarding the
building or non building of the dam.

Rattleships.
Washington. May The house will
agree to the senate amendment to the
naval appropriation bill which adds to
that measure an appropriation for the
construction Of the two .battleships
authorized ty the bill. The house ma
val affairs committee, at a meeting
preliminary to the house senate con-
ference on the amended bill, discussed
the various senate amendments and
informally reported an understanding
as to which Of them ought to be &C
cepted and which opposed. AS the
three house conferees are members of
the naval committee the understand
ing reached may be accepted as indi-
eating the position to be taken by the
house members of the conference.
The amendment making an. appropri-
alton for tie two battleships was
wholly satisfactory to the committee.

Washington, May N.-Representa-
tives Townsend of Michigan and
Cooper, Nelson and Carey of Wiscon-
sin are planning to inaugurate an in
surgent movement against Speaker
Cannon and the house leadership. Tho
first test came when Mr.. Towns end
was successful in winning his fight
over the committee on appropriations
in an amendment to provide the inter
state commerce commission with suft1-
cient funds to employ accountants.
For a long time a revolution has
been brewing on the part of many of
the Republican members of the house
and it now seems impossible to check
it before adjournment. The old re.
gime is scared and Chairman Payne
of the ways and means committee en-
deavored to establish peace by offer
ing a resolution providing that his
committee should sit during the con-
gressional recess for the purpose OF
taking up the revision of the tariff.
The wood pulp and print paper spe-
cial committee was another overture
which was offered to prevent large
number of Republican members from
uniting with the Democratic minority
and putting through the Stevens bill
to put wood pulp on the free list.
