Before the national house met the Republican and Democratic leaders attempted to perfect an agreement for the debate on the financial bill, which is to begin next Monday, but the negotiations failed. The Repub-| lican leaders then decided to resort to} aspecial rule, to be brought in. Mr. Overstreet (Indiana), who is to have charge of the Dill, in- troduced the formal resolution for a special order upon which the special committee on rules will act. It pro- vides for the consideration of the bill beginning on Monday and continuing until a date to be decided upon by the committee on rules. | Immediately after the reading of} the journal the speaker announced | the appointment of rulés, as follows; The speaker, Mr. Dalzall, of Pennsyl- yenor, of Ohio, Republic: z Richar of Tennessee, and Bailey, of Texas, Democrats. Mr. Meyer (Louisiana) announced that he had been incorrectly recorded as voting “ayefou the Roberts reso lution on Tuesday. He voted ‘‘no.” Mr. Overstreet (New Jersey) in| ge of the finance biil, then arose for the purpose of reaching an agree- ment, if possibld, for the considera- tion of the measure. .He asked that an arrangement be made for com- meneing the debate, next Monday. Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, said the proposal was most unusual. lt was that a most important meas- ure, perfected in all its details, dur- ing the recess, by members on the other side, should be brought in the house, without having been consid- ered in committee and then taken up on twodays’ notice, He insisted that the bill should go to a committee for further consideration. He objected to the proposed arrangement.—-Globe The {mproved Order of Red Men. | This order is strictly an American one. | older than the Constitut tfon—more aged than. the Continens tal Congress—in existence when the, bills resounded with the clarion calf! for buman liberty thundered upow their rit those intrepid spirits who went forth to du and die for uni- versal freedom—a_ brotherhood for the promotion and sustaining of uni- ty | justice—an institution for the uphoiding of common jinteres Which battles for a bettern mankind and seeks to enoble vate ,he masse: Never sordid but plilanthropic—never selfish for members but ever magnamonious i, Choice—never soiiciting for power, but ever mindful of quality—making mistakes as human nature is prone yet ever desirous of approaching so s possible to the ultimatum.

INDIAN PINE LEGISLATION. A New System of Cutting Indian Pine Proposed, Representative Eddy has given con- sideration to the question of legisla- Minnesota National Park. “Col. John S. Cooper, of Chicago, projector of the proposed national park in Northern Minnesota, is m the city. Col: Cooper says a bill will be presented at the coming session pro- viding for a park to embrace a large area in Northern Minnesota. Col. Cooper is as_ enthusiastic as ever over the project, and he says its supported by every member of the Minnesota ; delegation.” We clip the above from the columns of the Pioneer Press of Nov. 2gth. We do not credit the ‘assertion of the shrewd “promoter”? that the ; scheme will be supported by every member of the} state delegation. It does not seem probable, nor even pos- sible, that our senators and represent tatives will so far forget their duties to the interests of the great common- wealth whose interests and rights they | are presumed to represent and protect as to advocate and foist upoa the peo- ple such an imposition upon their rights for the sole purpose of provid- ing a great national playground for the independent hunter and pleasure- seeker of the nation. The people of our state donot favor such a disposi tion of the public domain, and if it} be true, as Col. Cooper declares, that all our representatives in congress favor it, we dare predict that when they again face the voter tor his sup- port they will be confronted with more pertinent inquiries tor their reasons for deserting the interests of their constitu- ents than they will be able to answer. It is needless to assert that the lands sought to be cluded in the reserve are useless for agriculture. The peo- ple know better; know that many thousands of valuable arable lands will be taken, and that the young men of the state stand ready to settle upon tion making changes in the system of cutting and dispos' of the pine on the Chippewa reservations. Mr. Eddy is preparing a bill to be presented to congress and is being assisted in draft- ing the propused legis!tation by the Indian commissioner. it is provided that where the tim- ber is cessible to driveways the! Menominee system shall be utilized. | This latter provision is iheluded to remove objections that the operators on the river at Minneapolis and Brainerd might urge against the scheme. poem wesieatn As far as known there will be no opposition to the bill being prepared by Mr Eddy. It embodies recommen- dations on the subject. which will be presented to congress by the Secre- tary of the interior, based on the re- portof Inspectors Nelsor and Jenkins. tion of the secre- tary to congress on the question of Indian affairs in Minnesota many recommendations will be made, which, if adopted, will materially modify the existing order of things among the Chippewas. Cong will also be asked to empower the secretary to authorize an allotting agent or other official of the deprrtment to make allottmentson the Red Lake reserva- tions, should it be decided to allot the lands at Red Lake. Should Be Inyestigated. When Mr. Roberts charged in his speech 1n his own behalf in_ congress Tuesday, that President McKinley has appointed to federal positions in Utah men who are said to be polygamists, he scored a point that caused many of the administration cuckoos in the house to squirm uneasily in their seats, and brought Grosvenor, of Oho, to his feet to ask Mr. Roberts whether he beheved the president “knowing- ly” appointed. such men, Of course | Mr. Boberts could not tell what the president knew, nor did he affirm ‘hat the appointees were polygamists. All he knew was that protests against their appointment went to the presi- dent on the ground that they were Mormons and Polyg.mists, but the president disregarded the protests and | made the appointments. In this connection 1t is interesting to note that a way to setile the ques- tion whether the president made such appointments, knowing the men to be polygamiSts, has been provided. In the senate yesterday, Mr. Rawlins, of Utah, offered a resolution provid- ing for an inquiry into the subject of alleged polygamous practices in the United States, and_ whether the presi- dent, has appointed polygamists. to federal offices. The charge is made by Senator Rawlins that the president has appointed polygamists to office and the United States senate has con- firmed such appomtmonts, and that the appointees for almost three years have been holding important federal offices in the state of Utah. The re- solution was referred to the judiciary committee, but will probably be re- ported back to the senate for actlon. Further} Mr. Grosvenor’s vehement denial that use entirely cured her.

A great national park in the center of the northern portion of the state, instead of being a benefit to the state or the inhabitants, would be a source of the greatest annoyance, and the clashing of authorities will be the inevitabie result. |The Times has re- peatedly asserted that the state cannot afford to relinquish its sovereignty ever such area and. surrender the revenues arising therefrom, and we now assert thatthe executive of the state would be citminally negligent of the public interest if he fail to use all the power reposed in the office he holds to defeat the unconsionable scheme. ~The Times will oppose the the project and all who favor it, be- cause we believe it to be wrong, and us establishu.ent will deprive us of rights and privileges which we should not be required to give up for any purposes other than the most urgent public necessities—Cass Lake ‘Times. Havna Discharged. On information obtained from the female inmates of a house of ill fame at Swan River, a warrant sworn: out for the arrest of Richard Hanna, | keeper of the resort, charging him with having robbed Dennis McGrath. John Clemenson was arrested for the same crime on November 8, and is now in the county jail awaiting the action of the grand jury It was re- ported to County Attorney Donohue that evidence could be produced to show that Hanna, and not Clemen- son, did the act. At the hearing held before Justice Barnard on Thursday, McGrath and Peter White, who was ss against Clemenson, swore positively that the la was alone guilty. Under the circumstances the county attorney moved Hanna. a witn ter to dismiss The Cass Lake Matter. A special from. Washington to the Duluth Herald says: Gil G. Hartley, of Duluth, called at the interior de- partment today to ascertain how the records stand about the sale of Cass Lake townsite. There is a clash of interests between the Eastern Minne- sota, A, A. White and the interests Mr. Hartley represents. The land office advised Hartley that patents had been issued té each purchaser and that any quarrel about divisional lines must be settled among the purchasers them- selves. * Stood Death Off. E B. Munday, a lawyer of Henri- etta, Tex., once fooled a grave-digger. He says: ‘*My brother was very low with malarial fever and jaundice. I persuaded him to try Electric Bitters jand he was soon much better, but j continued . their use until he was wholly cured. I am sure Electric Bitters saved his life.” This remedy expels malaria, kills disease germs regulates liver, kidneys and bowels, cures constipation, dyspepsia, nerv- “PHE CRITERIAN. Dave ChambersBOpens His New Restaurant With gn Elaborate Spread. “The new “Criterian” restaurant at the corner of Leland avenue and Second street, was lormally opened to the public on Wednesday evening under the management of Dave Chambers. The menu presented was elaborate and unanimously _pro- nounced by those who attended the the banquet as the rarest treat ever ' given by a caterer in Grand Rapids. All the delicacies of the season were supphed in the highest style of the cuisine art. Mr. Chambers has secured the services of Tom Savard, a restaurant man of wide reputation throughout the Northwest. New Captain at the Diamond. Capt. John Jewell, of - lronwood. Mich., has accepted the captaincy of the Diamondiron mine, thus relieving Capt. E. W. Griffiu. Capt. Griffin 1s the business manager of the property. and could no longer give the mine his personal attention. Capt. Jewell is one of the most experienced mining men of the Gogebic range, and the fact of his taking charge of the Diamond is an assurance that its development will be hastened. L. 0. T. M.

In- stallation-of officers will take place at the first regular meeting in January. Proof Not Lacking. The News Tribune says: “If Mr. Towne werg called upon for proof that the ‘president ‘has ordered all that which reflects upon the admin- istration to be cut out,’ he would ke obliged to say that he had none.” Surely the Hanna-McKinuley organ does not imagine that the people have forgotten the statements of the news- paper correspondents at Maui ia of the reasons which led up to the prop- aration of the “round robin” nouncing the censorship establisbed by Gen Otis by orders received from Washington. It was’ then stated by reliable newspaper men that Gen. Otis said he would permit notbing to be sent out by cable which reflected on the policy of. the administration, and the correspondents knew that if they sent such matter by mail or te Hong Kong to be cabled from that point, they would be expelled from the Puillipines ky ‘the governor gen- eral and the comnranding general.’’ It has not been denied that Gen. Otis* instructions regarding the eharacter ef the censorship were fiamed at Washington with the consent and ap- proval of President McKinley. There are many proofs available to sustain these statements. The Han- na-McKinley organ will tind that Mr. Towne does not speak at ramdon or without deliberation. He has the proofs to back up his assertions. Gee A Broken Jaw. Tom Williams, ‘a stranger here- abouts, with a hobo appearance, was taken to St. Benedict’s hospital at an early hour Thursday morning suffer- ing with a badly broken jaw bone. Tom had been drunk and was unable to say what he had come in contact with. Yt was evidently a case of “putting the boots to him,” but he had no idea why, where or how it happened. Dr. Russell bound up the unfortunate man’s face, and on Friday he went to Superior at the expense of Itasca county. Wages Going Down. J. P.
