HAjWSEY'SOHEWfIfiTWILL, ASK FOR NO OFFICES AT THE

COMIKO _EUIS_ATIVE SES-SION.

MONEY FOR THE NEW CAPITOL

IS ALLTHAT THE MEMBERS FROM

THIS COUNTY DKiSIKE THISWINTER.

CANDIDATES FOR THE OFFICES.

Several Good Men Aspire to Posi-

tions—

Gossip About the Make-lp

of Committees.

Ramsey county will not ask for anycf the offices in the coming legislativesession. But that is not saying Ram-sey county is going to be backwardfibout asking for what she wants thiswinter. For some time the lawmakersof the county have had to be quiet

and modest as well, because of thecapitol fight. But this winter it willte different. The capitol has been lo-cated and the state is committed toits erection in St. Paul.

"St. Paul will come to the front thiayear as she has not in many years'.a the legislature," said a member ofthe Ramsey county delegation yester-day. "We have no axes to grind, noermities to controvert, and are makingro pledges on the fight for offices.W hen we do make pledges we shall ex •

c.ct one in return, and you may be surewe will see to it they will be fulfilled.Last session the capitol fight kept ev-ery man on the delegation as dumb asan oyster. This year we will knock aclooked job when we see it, withoutfear of losing a vote. The only thingwe want, and our interest in this isidentical with that of the state, is anr.dditional appropriation to push workon the new capitol. Every member olthe delegation will work for that end,and there willbe some pretty fine workdone with the outside delegations toaccomplish that end.

"The chief difficulty we have to con-tend with is the prejudice of the coun-tiy against the two cities. There iaaiways more or less jealousy on thepart of the country members everytime either St. Paul or Minneapolisasks for ans'thing. This fault lies notwith the country members, but withtheir constituents. It will be ea3yenough to convince a country memberthat more money appropriated for thecapitol will be an advantage to thestate at large, but his constituentsvill see it and perhaps raise cain withthe country member the next time hecomes up as a candidate.* * *

"Under the law a certain per cem.of the entire annual tax levy is avail-able for work on the capitol. It wasbelieved that within ten years the valueof taxable property in the state wouldincrease so that the entire sum neededto complete the capitol wouhibe raised in that period. This yearthe taxable valuation of St. Paul haobeen materially reduced. We shalllose some money there. During thepast two years the entire sum availa-ble has been 'only about $125,000 an-nually. That is not enough. Itis pos-sible for the state to transfer moneyfrom one fund to another if the legis-islature will permit. That is what weshall ask for this winter. We wantmoney to press work on the capitol.There's plenty of money in the schoolfund that we could use if the legisla-ture will so order. All that is nec-essary is permission for the capitolfund to borrow from the school fund,the amount thus loaned to be repaidlater as the amount available fromthe annual tax levy becomes largerIt is possible to let contracts cheaper,labor is cheaper, material is lower now,~nd will be this winter, than will bepossible next year or the followingyears when there is certain to be areturn to good times and higher prices.The expenditure of this money nowwould mean employment for hundredsIn this dull time. The early comple-tion of the capitol is as much a neces-sity to the state at large as to St PaulThis is the fight we shall make thiswinter. Ifwe can persuade our fellowlegislators for the country that the cityrf St. Paul is not asking this for herown sake, we shall be successful andthe new capitol will be completed allthe sooner. That's all St. Paul is go-ing to ask for this year. To accom-plish this end we are going to be goodfellows with every body else, ask fornothing, give all that we can. Bufyou can make up your mind that theRamsey county delegation will no*-keep so much in the background asduring the last session."

» * *The list of candidates for the speak-

ership is becoming a long one. HenryFeig, of Kandiyohi, is one of the latestto bob up. Mr. Feig is said to havethe support of the entire Seventh dis-trict, but the friends of W. B. Douglas,of Moorhead, are disposed 'to disputethat claim. Mr.Douglas did more thanany one else to help re-elect Congress-man Eddy, and the people of that dis-trict are grateful for his work, andEddy himself has already put in alarge plug for the Clay county aspir-ant. J. D. Jones, of Long Prairie, wasin the city yesterday, talking over thesituation with such of the representa-tives who have drifted in to havea hand in the preliminary struggle.Jones, it is conceded, is thus far thestrongest man in the race. The Toddcounty man doesn't claim to have thebattle won, but smiles when askedwhat he thinks of his chances. C. F.Staples and J. F. Jacobson are both inthe field, but it is likely that eitherwill withdraw, if the friends of theother Insist. The two men have been|such close friends that with one in the

speaker's chair the other is pretty cer-tain to get the pick of the best commit-tees or whatever he may ask at thehands of the speaker. Joseph Under-leak, of Olmsted, is a strong candidatealso, and has the support of a largepart of the delegations from the south-ern part of the state. Hennepin hastwo candidates, E. E. Smith and JudgeHicks. But it is not very probablethat Hennepin will ask much. In theevent that McKinley should InviteSenator Davis into his cabinet, therewould be a vacancy in the UnitedStates senate that any number of Min-neapolis people think they should fill.Ex-Senator Washburn is having him-self interviewed in Chicago, sayingpleasant things about McKinley, and inother ways getting In trim for the sen-atorial lightning if it should strike inhis neighborhood.* » »

Congressman Eddy was at theWindsor, yesterday, looking as freshas could be expected after the rigors'of a two months' campaign. Mr. Eddyhad been at home but once, and thatfor a few hours, since the middle ofAugust. All the time he has spent inthe Seventh distrct campaigning asas never candidate fought in this statebefore. He said yesterday that, al-though he fully expected to be re-elected, the result of the ballot was asurpise, and that his majority waslarger than he had hoped for. "Thecampaign made against me was bitter• and thorough," he said yesterday, "andIreally thought the defection the Dem-ocrats claimed among the Swedishvoters was larger than it proved to be.Iwant to say that the Swedes in thedistrict stood by the Republican ticketnobly. There was some- defection. due

to local causes, but the result of theelection proved that the great majorityare true to the Republican party. Iam not certain when Ishall go toWashington

—probably not until the

opening of the session. After so longan absence from home it is necessarythat Ishould look after my privateaffairs." * • •

Congressman Kiefer is going toWashington next Tuesday night. "Ihave several matters of importance tolook after before the opening of thesession," he said yesterday, "and amanxious to get to work. Ishall renewmy efforts to get an Increased appro-priation for the new postoffice, and willtry and get the Lake Superior canalscheme through. Ibelieve the firstthing that congress will do will be topass the Dingley bill or some measurethat will yield the government suffi-cient revenue to pay running expensesand prevent the issuance of morebonds. Ibelieve the. Democrats andthe silver Republicans will act with theRepublicans in this measure. If thesilver Republicans in the senate willvote with their party on this questionthere will be no difficulty in the pas-sage of such an act, and there will beno necessity for an extra session afterMcKinley is inaugurated."* • •"Ihave been mentioned as a candi-

date for the speakership, but am in nosense a candidate," said Representa-tive S>. T. Littleton, of Dodge county,yesterday at the Merchants. "The Firstdistrict had the office two years ago,

and Iunderstand there is some opposi-

tion to the district having it again thissession. There will be much importantlegislation to come up this year, andIlook for a lively session. The reap-portionment of which some membersare talking, willgive us much trouble.We in the southern part of the stateare much interested in this question.There is no disposition to increase thenumber of legislators, and if thereshould be a reapportionment, we shouldlose some of our representatives. TheSouthern members are not yet ready

to take any sides on this matter."* * *Not content with canvassing the situ-

ation for the offices of the house, thepolitical gossips are going into the de-tails of the organization of the commit-tees and speculating on the chairman-ships. The most important committeeto the state at large is that of the com-mittee on appropriations. J. F. Jacob-son, W. B. Douglas and A. N. Dare, ofSherburne, are the only members of thecommittee last session who are nowspoken of as the possible chairman.Should C. F. Staples, of Dakota county,

be elected speaker, the chairmanshipof the committee would likely go toJacobson, and should Jacobson win asspeaker, the lucky card would be drawnby Staples. Both men are familiar withthe details of the committee work, andhave many warm supporters for theposition. Mr.Dare is also a good busi-ness man, familiar with the details ofthe committee work, and would com-mand many votes for the honor.Douglas, who is also mentioned for theplace, is a lawyer, and will, likely beprovided for inthe judiciary committee.J. K. Grondahl is the most likelycandi-date for the chairmanship of the ways

and means committee. He was a mem-ber of the committee last session. HenryJohns, of Ramsey, is a candidate forthe chairmanship of the judiciary asare also C. P. Reeves and W. B. Doug-las. During the last session Johns waschairman of one of the subcommitteesand will have strong support for thegeneral chairmanship this year.• * •

"Uncle Charley" McEwen, of Ren-ville county, who was a member of thelarger houfee in the legislature of 1893,was a caller at the capitol yesterday.Beyond three-score and ten then, "Un-cle Charley" was forced into the officein a measure by the exigencies of poll-tics, but the members of the house allremember with pleasure, the pictures-que, sometimes quaint, New Englandrusticity that bubbled good humoredlyout of the old man's occasional speech-es. An unappreclative constituency,however, neglected to return him, andin order that the fund of cloak roomstories this year may not be less inter-esting than in the World's Fair yeara number of the old members are infavor of installing "Uncle Charley" askeeper of one of the house cloak rooms.• • •

Johns is also talked of as chairmanof the oommittee on municipal logis-lation. This committee is one that willbe of considerable importance owing tothe adoption of the constitutionalamendment doing away with speciallegislation. The chairmanship will un-doubtedly go to one of the large citiesof the state. • • •

Dan Shell, of Worthington, who oc-cupied second place on the committeeon railroads two years ago, will like-ly be placed at the head of the com-mittee this year. C. A. Parker, ofWashington, is mentioned as a likelycandidate for the first place on thecommittee on grain and warehouses,

J. F. Jacobson and C. F. Staples, oneor the other, will likely be namr>d aschairman of the committee on publiclands, especially if there is to be anyimportant pine land legislation thissession. O. O. Holman, of Murraycounty, a former member of the com-mittee is also mentioned for the place.

freMAYOR DORAN TAKES A HAND

In the Effort, to Reduce the PoliceTelegraph' to- a. Political

Basis.

Assemblyman Thompson made a sec-end attempt yesterday to get the job

of Thomas Macaulay, the superintend-ent of the police telegraph patrol sys-tem, for a man of his who lives in theSecond ward. Again the attempt

failed. When the question of mak-ing a change in the office was present-

ed to a caucus of the members of thecommon council called yesterday at thainstigation of Mr. Thompson, the mem-bers decided by a vote of ten to eightthat there should be no change.

The members of the council with twoor three exceptions were at a loss tounderstand the written notices re-ceived yesterday forenoon, summoningthem to meet in caucus at 5 p. m. inthemayor's office. The notices were madeout on the city clerk's blanks used forcalling committee meetings, etc., andbore the printed signature of the cityclerk. As the call did not state theobject, many of the members did notknow when they reached the mayor' 3office who had called the caucus norwhy ithad been called. Those who didknow v/ere reticent and a general airof secrecy prevailed among them.Itwas ascertained, however, that the

caucus was called by the mayor at therequest of Assemblyman Thompsonand Aid. Stutsman, of the Secondward, with a? view of ascertainingwhether enough votes could be se-cured to dismiss Joseph Macaulay fromMs position as superintendent of thepolice telegraph patrol and to elect inhis place Joseph King, an electricianemployed at the Wood Harvesterworks, who resides in the Second warunear Hazel Park.

The advisability of making a changein this office was passed upon lastsummer soon after the present council !came in. At that time ex-Superinten- ident Birge of the police patrol sys-tem, and the same Joseph King, wereboth looking for Mr. Macaulay's posi- |tion, Mr. Thompson favoring King'saandidacy and Mr. Reardon support- \ing Birge. But the caucus voted not jto make any changes and none was jmade.

The fact of the matter is that the joffice in question has never been sub- ,ject to political deals. Ex-Superin- jtendent Birge was the first to assume ithe office when it was created some !eight or ten years ago, and he retained

'

ituntil a year ago last May, when thecoramton council elected Mr. MacaulayIs his place, in consequence of certain

'complaints or charges preferred against

Mr. Birge. The council was Demo- icratic, but ithad been in power almostone year before electing Mr Macaulay.There is no definite term of service at- ,tached to the office. The incumbentholding the position at the pleasureof the common council.

After the caucus came to order yes- jterday, the object of calling it was ex-plained to all. There were eighteen jmembers present,

—ail of the assembly i

and nine of the board, Aldermen jLindahl and Allard being the absen- jtees. The first question suggested by !the proposition to elect a new superin- itendent of police patrol telegraph was. i

what is the matter with Mr.Macaulay?

Some of the aldermen wanted to know i

if there were any charges against Mr.Macaulay or any dissatisfaction with jhis work or conduct. Not a charge or i

a complaint was presented against !

him, except that he stood in the way jof Mr. Thompson's Republican candi- |date, Joseph King. After some dis- !

cussion of this aspect of the case, the \u25a0

vote was taken on a motion that there jbe a change made in the office of super- >

intendent of police patrol telegraph. It;resulted, as previously announced, inten votes against a change and eightvotes in favor of it. Then the caucuswas broken by the retirement of three :or four members from the room.

Mr. Macaulay ow.^s his thanks chiefly ,to the aldermen wlho nearly all voted !

against making any change, while the |eight votes iivfavor of a change were ;mostly cast •by >r the assemblymen,though Mr.Reardon is known to havevoted "no."

'

The board of aldermen seems notto be so partisan a'body as the assem-bly. —

information, the gathering and dis^semination of data in relation to thesubject of credits; the amendment ofImsfness customs, whereby all com-mercial interests may be benefited andthe welfare of all anvaneed; the provUsion of a fund for the protection of

Imembers against injustice and fraud,Iare also among the purposes of the1 organization.

Particularly did Mr. Boocock dwell| upon the desirability of a uniform sys-i tern of balances, which this system

would insure to the credit men of thecountry. He spoke also of the possi-bility of fraudulent concerns beingdriven from competition with legiti-mate business interests. "Under thepresent system it is possible for an un-scrupulous merchant to purchase astock of goods, have his concern de-clared Insolvent and himself becomethe possessor of the bankrupt stock to

| the great loss of the firm who furnish-| ed the goods. Then the unscrupulousI merchant goes into a community andj by his cheap sales can drive an honest| merchant into loss of business and

bankruptcy. This has been done timeand time again in every communityto the detriment of the wholesaler andthe honest retail merchant. Withsuch an organization as it proposedto place in this state the fraudulentdealer would be unable to procure astock of goods from any wholesalemerchant except on the most rigidterms."In reference to the legislative work

of the association Mr. !Boocock saidthat the national association proposedto reach congress and other legislativebodies through the state associations."Ifyou are anxious for the passage oflaws that will protect your businessit is not possible that your legislaturewill refuse to accede to the demandsof the jobbers of the Twin Cities.

to do. The Tbrrey bankruptcy bill isalmost exclusively an assignee's bill,and the New York association of creditmen will memorialize congress to urgeits passage. But there are a hundredtopics that are of Interest to you busi-ness men of the West that you shouldbring before your legislature for localrelief that the Torrey bill does notreach at all." Mr. Boocock then sug-gested that the organization be similarto that recently undertaken by thebusiness men of Chicago. Mr. Young,of Finch, Van Slyck, Young & Co.,favored the formation of a local as-sociation, and moved that a committeebe appointed to take the necessarysteps to bring about that end. Finallyat the suggestion of Mr. Boocock thefollowing resolution was adopted:

Whereas, Trade conditions and credit cus-toms are imperfect by reason of the variationand dissimilarities in our various statutoryprovisions, frequently resulting in injusticeto creditors and in injury to honest debtors;and,

Whereas, It is believed that by concerted,systematic and vigorous action on the partof mercantile industries, it is possible tobring about mutual improvements, greatersimilarity in uses of trade and more uniformand desirable legislation, as to the just andequitable rights of debtor and creditor; :nnd.

Whereas, The National Association of Ci-aditMen has been established with worthy, prac-tical and meritorious objects; and.Whereas, Itis de3i_ed necesary to the properexecution of the plans and purposes thuspossible of achievement, that there shall belocal associations in every state in the Union;therefore be tt

Resolved, That it Is the sense of this meet-ing that the St. Paul Credit Men's associa-tion be established upon lines similar to thoseof the New York and New Orleans organiza-tions; and be is further

Rersolved, That the chairman be and herebyis authorized to appoint at this time twocommittees of five members each for thepurpose, respectively, of preparing a consti-tution and bye-laws and the nomination ofofficers to serve for the ensuing year; andbe it still further

Resolved, That when this meeting adjournitshall be to meet again onTuesday afternoon,Nov. 17, at 4 p. m.. in the rooms of thejobbers' union, for the purpose of perfectingpermanent organization.

Chairman Schurmeier then an-nounced the following committees.On Organization

—J. A. Snowden, C. D.

Maclaren, J. H. Skinner, P. D. Fer-guson, and A. Wilkinson. On Officers—A. P. Warren, A. B. Driscoll, GeorgeL. Beardsley, Alfred Scheffer and L.W. French.

All the gentlemen present expressedthemselves as greatly in favor of theproject. Such an organization wouldbe worth untold sums to us if only forthe sake of the uniform balance sys-tem alone," said Mr. Young. "Ihaveno doubt the wholesale men of the citywill see the great benefits to be de-rived from such an organization andwill hasten to express their approvalby becoming members." Mr. Schur-meier also expressed the same opinion.

Before the meeting adjourned cardswere passed about and those presentasked to sign the names of the firmsand their sentiments on the questionof organization. All of those presentwho were authorized to speak for theirrespective houses signed the cards withthe understanding that they were will-ing to become charter members of thenew organization. Others who wereequally enthusiastic, had not that ,authority, but said they had no doubttheir houses would subscribe to theproject.

Mr. Boocock went to Minneapolis lastevening where he will organize asimilar association.

LAUNDRY PRICE LISTS.

An Effort to Have Them Made MoreUniform.

Representatives of fifteen of thelargest laundries in the city met lastEight at the Clarendon to talk over thebusiness situation. The laundrymen a',

cne time had a strong organizationin St. Paul, but of late it has beenpermitted to lapse, and it was as muchfor the purpose of reviving the associ.ition as for the discussion of ratesand other matters that the meetingInst night was held. The sentimencseemed unanimous that the organiza-tion should be revived and strengthened. Itis hoped by so doing some ofthe smaller laundrymen, who havebeen doing work at about half the ratecharged by the other laundries, willbe brought into the fold and a unifromsystem of charges be established allover the city. It is claimed that thoruinou3 rates established by the small-er laundries have cut into the businessend profits of the larger laundries dur-ing the past year. It is now proposedto enlarge the membership of the asfrceiation ifpossible and secure the es-tablishment of uniform rates through-out the city. Another meeting will be-held in the near future to perfect theplans.

ANNUAL TEMPERANCE SUNDAY.

Call Issued for Its Observance Nov.2»th.

The effort being made by the Chirs-tian temperance people to establish thefourth Sunday of November as annualtemperance Sunday, to be universallyobserved, which originated in the Lon-don Sunday School union, has beentaken up by leading temperance andSunday school workers of America andhas the indorsement of bishops andclergymen of nearly all denominations.

The General Assembly, of the Presby-terian church, changed the date of theirannual temperance Sunday to thefourth Sunday of November, and the

General Assembly of the United Pres-byterian church, the National TriennialCouncil of Congregational churches,and the General Conferance of theMethodist Episcopal church have byresolution recommended and urged itsannual observance in all their churohes.By action of the executive committeeof the international Sunday school con-vention, the Sunday school workerseverywhere are called upon for its spec-ial observance, accordingly BishopsVincent and Ninde, of the MethodistEpiscopal church, and representativesof the other organizations named, haveissued the following:

"We recommend that temperance ser-mons be preached in the morning andspecial attention be given to the teach-ing of a Bible temperance lesson In theSunday school, with the introduction ofsuch other features as will make theSunday school hour significant for tem-perance. We would call the attentionof the Young People's societies to thesubject of the temperance reform, andask that in their evening meetings itbe made a special subject of prayer.

We would further suggest that inthe evening union temperance or Chris-tian citizenship meetings be held inlocalities where itmay be practicable."

One of the best equipped of local in-stitutions was opened to the publicyesterday afternoon when the dedica-tion of the remodeled and modernizedBethesda hospital on Wacouta andNinth streets took place. The insti-tution is one well known among theScandinavian residents of the state ofMinnesota and is the property of theTabitha society of the state whichcontrols it. This society was organizedin the year ISBO and incorporated un-der the laws of the state for the pur-pose of erecting and maintaining char-itable institutions. In 1881 the societybought a beautiful tract of land on theEast side of Lak<* Como and fitted upa large house already on the premiseswhere Bethesda hospital commencedits work. This location did not provesuitable on account of its distance fromthe center of the city. The hospifalwork was therefore discontinued forseveral years. In 1891 Rev. C. A.Hultkrans, the present superintendent,accepted a call from the society andthe work was again taken up. Theformer home of H. P. Upham was se-cured and thirty-six beds placed in thewards provided. In this location thehospital has carried on its work fornearly five years During that time1,400. patients have been treated. Thelast years' report shows 400 casestreated, 257 cured, 77 improved, 15 non-curable, and only ten deaths. Ninetyper cent are residents outside of St.Paul. During the summer the hospitalhas been closed for four months, dur-ing which time it has been thoroughlyremodeled and modernized and en-larged to more than twice its formercapacity at an expense of nearly $18,---000. Its present capacity is sixty-fivebeds, including twelve private rooms.The whole structure has been raised tothree stories instead of two. Steamheat has been put in and the latestplumbing.
