STEP BY STEP ARE THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE ADVANCED BY THE ADMINISTRA- TION OF GOVERNOR LIND.

Reform Press Bureau, St. Paul, June 18, 1900. Step by step administration of state government in the interests of all the people of the state goes on at the hands of Governor Lind and those entrusted to state duties under him, of which the state supreme court decision, sustaining the railroad and warehouse commis- sion, in their action known as the New Ulm coal rate case is the latest incident. This letter recently quoted Governor Lind as entirely confident that the state, in that case, would be ‘sustained, and the decision fully confirms his view. This case, in brief, was the result of efforts to obtain a fair and equitable rate for hard coal for the people of the } southwestern part of the state, where for years and years exorbitant rates have been enforced by the railroad com- panies. Action originated in the city of Governor Lind’s home, New Ulm, on complaint tothe railroad and ware- house commission by the Commercial | union of that city against the prevail- ing rate of $2.50 per ton, Duluth to New Ulm. The roads being cited toa hear- ing, such were held Nov. 8 and Dec. 14, 1898. On Jan. 19, 1899, very soon after Governor Lind’s inauguration, the com- mission madean order reducing the rate to $1.95 for New Ulm, and other points in proportion, on a fixed cched- ule of places and distances, a very ma- terial average reduction, which rates being all that the companies could charge in the aggregate from Duluth to the said points, was known asthe ‘‘joint rate’ that the roads could divide be- tween themselves. The companies in- terested made every possible legal de- fense on a test case by the Minneapolis and St. Louis road and were defeated, first in the Ramsey county district court, and now in the state supreme court. The latter finds clearly and un- mistakably for the people, sustaining the commission. The company an- nounces that it will still further con- test, however, which means the slow length of the United States supreme court, possibly, before the people will come into the actual benefits of the ef- forts made in their behalf. The railroad and warehouse commis- sion is about all the machinery pos- sessed by the state for protection of the sinall interests which the people in the past have not voted away in franchises. The people are, therefore, more inter- ested in its administration than in al- most any other department. That they are pleased with the present board is conceded on all sides. There was opportunity last week for only the merest mention of the state’s “No,” uttered by the railway commis- sion, against the proposed consolida- tion of the Northern Pacific and the St. Paul and Duluth railroads, which Wall street and railroad and business men had accepted as accomplished fact un- til the state steppedin. The state holds that those roads are competing lines in the sense that brings them under the same inhibition that was successfully maintained against the Northern Pa- cific and the Great Northern, and has taken the firm stand that the consolida- tion shall not be carried out except it be shown that the state is wrong. At the moment the game is blocked, and the Northern Pacific and the Wall street interests concerned are looking around for some way out. And speaking further of the commis- sion, it has ordered stations maintained at Wylie, on the Great Northern’s St. Hilaire branch, and Crow Wing, on the Northern Pacific. A commission that commishes is what the people have now. The state Democratic convention to select the Minnesota representation for Kansas City, will have been he!d before this letter reaches allits thousands of readers. There is every indication of that enthusiasm and harmony which is marking like conventions in other states all over the Union. Such certainly have been- reports of the county conventions of last week, and certainly it is true of the Ramsey and Hennepin county ac- tion. Harmony and enthusiasm have great big capital letters this year with the Democrats and those co-operating with them. Let all of our friends bear in mind that nobody should stay away from Kansas City who can possibly-go, and the opportunity, 2s to trainsand low rates, was never equalled. You can go with either the official Democratic train jor with the Silver or Lincoln Republi- cans. The full particulars are widely published and are obtainable from either Secretary T. R. Kane, St. Paul, for the Democratic, or of E. S. Corser, Minneapolis, for the other. The best way to dois to remit to either, imme- diately, the advertised cost, thus mak- ing, sure of accommodations, and that you will go. The round trip transpor- tation cost is $13.55 by chair car, $16.55 by tourist sleepers, or $19.55 by Pull- man sleepers, the sleepers in both cases, being also used for beds at Kansas City during the stay, without extra cost. Band of music with each train. Speaking of Kansas City, state after state joins the procession for Mr. Bryan’s unanimous nomination. There} to the Democrats. are also from all parts of the country kindly expressions toward Mr. Towne. Where are we going to do better in the whole situation? is what the Democracy is asking itself. Mr. Towne certainly has reason to be pleased with the endorsements given him by the Minnesota county conven- tions. ‘ Speaking of those who are at Phila- delphia booming Washburn for vice president, itis safe te say that their pockets are not stuffed full with the Washburn anti-trust and pro-Boer pamphlets. Watch the trusters and the English administrationists do up ‘ the able man from Minnesota. These jabs at Methoiist Brother Mc- Kinley are almost more than even a “Napoleon” can endure. And thes, do charge him with insulting Miss Frati¢es Williard, ‘‘treated her with less respect than he would a ward heeler,”’ is tho open charge made by the de a pe vice presidential candidate. Ex-Senator Gil Pierce is showing the G. O. P. ‘What to Eat,” vice presiden- tially, and is for Washburn. The ont- look is that while the senatorial vege- tables may ‘“‘wash,’’ they will also “burn,” and tho trusts ‘throw them out.” Speaking of the vice presidential ticket, a Chicago Times-Herald corre- spondent looking for Republican cam- paign slogans, wants something dis- covered that will compare with the cry, “Polk and Dallas,’’ which was made to stand for “pork in the stomach, and dollars in the pocket.” Well, wiat’s the matter with taking on Bliss of New York, and then it would. be McKinley and Bliss for the trusts. At this writing Mr. Bryan and Mr. Towne are rusticating where the wicked (politicians) cease from troubling, and where the weary are at rest. The following are the figures of Mc- Kinley prosperity 2s applied in the St Louis strike to date: Strike (commenced May 8) has lasted (days)... < Number persons k: 36 13 Number wounded by bullets. 65 Number otherwise injured. 90 imated business loss, per day $100,000 B ess lo: $3,600,090 Loss of strikers. in $275,000 Cost of armed posse comitatus... $325,000 Number in posse comitatus...... 1,500 Number police on duty (regulars) 1,000 Number special police. i 500. ‘Total number armed men 3,000 Men on strike 4,000 And gold was not going abroad to. any amount this season. The total, shipments have already exceeded $20,- 000,000, the government $100,009,000 of gold being now depleted to close to $70,- 000,000, and more going to the tune of $3,500,000 to $5,000,000 weekly. Indiana as an asylum for Republican political murderers is a success. The shielding of Kentucky Taylor ought tol }make the state certain for the Demo- erats, and such are our advices. And speaking of the Philippines, how, different a situation we would be in had we told the Filipinos to go ahead with their independence, under our protec- tion, we taking as they would have been glad to have us do, whatever we wanted for station. In the.new Chinese, situation we would have had ships or men at hand, whereas few or no men can safely be taken from the Philip- pines. But, best of all, we should have done right. To date all that the goppite press has been able to say for the remissness of the Republican secretary of state as to foreign corp.rations not paying their taxes is that some 60 companies have | been found in Governor Lind’s list that are not liable. Well, that leaves some 200 or more of the delinquents. What is this Republican official! going to doas to those? The repudiated St. Paul Republican city administration died harder than any one supposed. Comptroller Mc- Cardy has barely skinned in, by the means of “‘recount,’’ often so disrepu- table, especially when election machin- ery is under careful guard of the other fellow, and the old chief of police, and other heads of department, refuse to surrender except as they are thrown out. Meanwhile Mayor Smith is pur- suing the even tenor of his ‘good old Democratic ways,’’ greatly to the satis- faction of the people. The date now set for that great flood of Northwestern prosperity was after the farmers’ spring work was over. Now itis after harvest, and a little later it will be after the election. Selah. Speaking of business, the much vaunted Russian loan which was to have been floated in the United States, has floated out of sight, the Wall street statement being that it was absurd to expect the loan to be placed here, when ‘‘even United States bonds are not in active demand.” Now that McKinley and Otis have swapped praises, let the Philippine war goon. But it is rather a dampener on imperialism, that Otis praises the Fili- pinos so highly. That they learn Eng- lish with surprising rapidity, and are eager for schools, illy agrees with. the estimates of McKinley himself, of their dense ignorance, their lacking in patri- otic inspiration, and that they are not qualified to be more than an abject peo- ple. An important development of: the week is the attitude assumed by the local Silver or Lincoln Republicans of Minneapolis, who through an author- ized committee announce that they join the Democratic organization in fact, as they have in reality acted during the past four years. This will strengthen the Democratic organization materially, and it is well known that many Repub- licans are leaving their party on other issues than silver coinage, “ will go G.
