The St. Paul Pioseer Press suggested that the called for praise and thanksgiving. slared 1t was welcomed by overybody “with joyful countenances and new courage.” Men “looked like peoplo who had just heard of the defeat of an invading army or the king of great pestilence.” The Minneapolis 77i- bune snid. “In the history of the state, the legislature of 1801 will be chicfly known by the damage it tried to do, but failed in accomplishing.” This recent che wis one of the “‘reform” legislutures of | the present year, The Minnesota legislature, like those of Nebraska and Kunsas, was composed of men, the majority of whom were wolf- meaning, but whose views of public af- fairs were narrow and crude, who were without experienco in legislation and had no clear apprehension ot its effects, and nearly ev one of whom had some theory or hobby of his own which ho sincerely believed in as a panacea for the chief iils in the body politic. Thrust into public life by a popular uprising which had its excuse in ademand for just ond reasonuble re- forms that had been too long ignored or neglected, these men entered upon the most important duty that ean fall to a citizen under o popular form of govern- ment imbued with an honest desive to do their fellow citizens some good, but with a most inadequate knowledge of every problem except as it had af- fected the contracted environment in which they had passed their lives, The importance of every public question to which they gave their atten- tion was measured by what they under- stood to be its ation to the narrow sphere of their own interests and those of their immediate neighbors, Such men easily bocame the dupes of dema- gogic agitators and g polit s, who for personal advantage wers to pilot them into any excesses. at nothing was done by the Minne- sota legislature to bring disaster to the material interests of the state, though these have already suffered more orless damage from what was threat- ened, is due to the courage, vigilance, and untiring labors of the republican minority in that body. It is probable that the people of Min- nesota will not soon forget the lesson which they have learned, atsome cost to their present welfave, from their late legislature, and that hereafter they will not attempt to secure reform by elect- ing as lawmakers men who have neither the knowledge nor the experience essential to the wise and proper performance of that most important function. They will hardly again in the near future in- ite the danger that has thus far been averted, and although the expericnce has been somewhat expensive, 1t will not have been wholly unprofitable if it shall lead the people to renew their confidence in the intelligence and patri- otism of the party to which Minnosota, in common with ‘the entire west, owes her material progress and prosperit, The “‘reform” legislatures of the pres- ent year have largely failed to accom- plish anything for the practical benefiv of the people they represented and in every case the reasons for failure have beeu the same. A repetition of the pop- ular mistake should be nowhere possi ble. self-seck BIRKHAUSER. When P. W. Birkhauser’s name was proposed for the important position of chairman of the board of public works, THE: BEE exoressed the opinion that he was incompetent for its duties and pro- tested on behalf of the tax- payers of tho city against placing a man wholly without experience in charge of the expenditure of large sums of money upon street im- provements, Mr. Birkhauser is a miller hy trade and a politician by profession. He has never been engaged in an oceupation which would train him for the duties to which the exigencies of politics and tho pressure of the ward workers of the democratic party forced our good natur- ed mayor to assign him, Ho has been a most conspicuous failure, He has kept the department of public works in constant confusion bo- cause of ignorance of his duties and in continuous brawls because of his ir- rasciblo tempor. He is without dignity, without abiliyy, and in faet docs mot possess & single quali- fication for his *place. This has been painfully apparent to his best frionds and has drawn words of consure from the mayor, A man holding a public office who will use publicly language which would shamo the vilest mouthed woman at Billingsgate bridge is totally unworthy to preside over the deliberations of any department of the city. He openly insults citizens who call to transact business with him and has very nearly precipitated at least two free fights on the floor of his office, Although he has been chairman of the board of public works for nine months, he has not mustered the fourth part of the details of his office, He is absolutely dependent upon his clerk for information upon some of the implest incidents of the ordinary procecdings of | business. What is worse, he does not possess the capacity 1o learn what his dutios are. His malice toward certain contractors has warped his judgment and he has no more sense than to take sides between rival applicants for con- traots, He cannot or either his tongue or his temper, He talks too much, too violently and without proper regard to the facts. He may or may not be honest, but he is incompetent. Ho has proved by his official acts that Tur BEE was right in opposing his appointment on the ground of his want of ability and experience and he has shown by his personal be- havior on several occasions that he is unworthy of the respect ¢f law-abiding, decent citizens, If he hus a grain of sense left he must perceive that he isoutof place on the board of public works. If he hus does not control of | gard loft for the proprietios of ¢ | izenship he must know that he has made & conspicuous nss of himself. He has forfeited the respect and confidence of the community. The only thing left for him to 4o 18 voluntarily to , tender his resignation. If he ea sity of stepping back into private life the mayor should take steps toward his removal. not see the noces- — VALUE OF CUBAN TRADE, According to the statement of what i proposed in the new treaty of reciprocity with Spain regarding Cuba, the west will have more togain from the ares ment than any other section of country, The Spanish government now imposes a heavy duty on cereals and flour entering Cuba from the United States, and the result is that trado in American breadstuffs with that island has been entirely wiped out, Spain sup- plying most of the flour that is consumed there, which enters free of duty but commands a price nearly equal to that which pays duty, Under the proposed treaty the entry of American flour prac- tically free of duty will lowor the price to about half that now paid and will probably double the consumption, muk- ing a market, it is estimated, for a mill- fon barrels of American flour annually. Biesides this, the new ireaty provides for the admission practically free of American wheat, beans and other agri- cultural produ sther with lard and petroloum, in all of which articles it is rensonably to be expected that our trade with Cubn will be materially incrensed. Due consideration is given to our manu- factured produets, but the largest imme- diate benefits of the treaty will be to the agricultural interest, The trade of the United States with amounts annually to ove $50,000,000 in imports and to less than $12,000,000 in expors Although at our ve! doors we sell 10 ba not to exceed one-third in the aggrogate of what her people buy, and perhups even less than that, so that the promise under the new treaty is an in- in our trade with the island to at least $25,000,000 annually, and this will continue to grow under the more orable conditions for the development of the island which ecannot fail to follow the establishment of eloser commercial relations with the United Stat The past poli of Spain with respect to Cuba has tended 1o repress enterprise and retard development, and this fertile and beau- tiful island is capable of sustaining a much larger population than it now has, and of greatly enlarging its commerce, The policy of Spain has been to get every dollar of revenue possible out of Cuba, and perhaps the motive in keep- ing back development has been a fear that this valuable possession could not be so easily held in colonial dependence i her people were permitted to get abreast with the enter- prise and progress of the restof the world. This will all be changed as the result of reciprocity, and Cuba will enter upon a new era of prospority, in the ad- vantages of which the farmers and man- ufacturers of the United § states will have the largest share next to her own peo- ple. crease WHO IS 10 BLAME? Who is to blame for the failure of the Nebraska legisluture to ennct any meas- ures of relief that were promised to the people during the last campaign? Why did the legislature adjourn without pass- ing a usury bill to check the rapacity of the mortgage sharks? Why did the members fail to enact any) law reducing railroad rvates? Why! did they not strike = at thel tap root of corperate bribery of logisla- tures and conventions by prohibiting the issue of railroad passes? Why did they fail to break up the monopoly o the school book trust? Why have they) passed no law restricting the greed of insurance companies and regulating telegraph and telephone tolls? Ang why did they pass no bill to bring about tax reform? The independent leaders and organs lay all the blame on the republicans and the democrats. They charge the old parties with all the venality and dishon- esty that scandalized the late legislature, and top off theirdenunciations with call- ing Governor Boyd and the supreme court vile wretches, corporation tools and public enemies, But what are the facts? The indepen- donts elected a majority of both houses of the legislature. lhey organized both houses, ap- pointed all the committees and had full swing during tho entire sossion. Only two of their senators are publicly de- nounced as traitors to their cause, and these two were offset by Senators Keiper) and Van Housen, democrats, who voted with them from first to last. How, then, can rational independents explain away the defeat of the anti-passibill, the Stev- ens maximum freight oill, the 2 cent per mile passenger bill, and the various im- portant measures which the majority was pledged 1o enact? All these bills were defeated by the votes of independ- ents, and that fact alone proves conclu- sively that the blame cannot be placed on the shoulders of the minority, made up of members of the two old parties, Why not look the teuth squarely in the face? The trouble with the braska independents from the outset h been the overreaching ambition of thei leaders. John H. Powers, the president of the state Alliance, had himself forced upon his party us candidate for governor, and General Van Wyck, a man of na- | tional reputation and with a record of thirty yewrs as a staunch anti- monopolist, was ecrowded off the track, Other officers of the Alliance were made candidates for state offices, and when they failed of an election they monopolized the first thirty days of the session with a coutest for spoils which to them seemed of mora vital importance than the relief of the people from the burdens that were opnressing them. The best part of the session was frittsred away in wrangling and fighting over the fleshpots and in futile attempts to over-ride the constitution as regards the cours to be pur- sued in the conduct of executive contoste. While this unseemly stuggle for office was in progress the corpora- tion lobbyists were getting in their work. By the time the contest was abandoned the legislature was thoroughly demoral- the | 4 women, cards, railrond passes and cuffifey accomplishod their | dondly work. | i | Astriking iMustration of the demoral- | 1z0a condition of fhe le » is found in the following telegram v h peared in the!New York Voice, and is transmitted to thé editor of Tik Bk by PMe.

Half of the members who voted for this bill knew in advance that it would be vetoed because it was too radicul, and expr them- selves satisfied at its failure. It was within their power to have passed a more moderate measure like the Stevens bill, but these arvant humbugs only wanted to make political capital for themselves in the next campuign.

He characterizes ivassimply *“a democratic and farmers’ alliance political meeting,” and declares that there was no chance for any proposition not acceptable to this combination, So far as we have observed, this convention has re- ceived no favor: comment from any source entitled to respectful consideration, wnd it is nowhere garded representing intelligont western sentiment.

I usiness, Sal Edke Tribune. We do not know who is arranging the pro. eramme for the Dpnver congress to be held next month, but it there is not more wisdom bebind it than was exhibited at Kansas City, we hope the congress will not be held. Al such thiugs are an injury to the west. When a lot of men gather togother, some of whom do mov kuow what they want, and canuot express what they do want, ana turn locse all their vagaries at the same time, it cannot but have au unfortunate ef- fect, and, instead of any good coming from it, it gives riso to any amount of imisappro- hension and misrepresentation. One goutlo man says: “Tho meeting ut Kansas Ciy will only serve to clear the atmosphere and make the work of the cougross at Denvor harmanious and effective.” We hope that is true.
