WATCHING THE SCALPERS. Western Pasesnger Association Keeps I7p Interest in the Matter. The Western Passenger association is keep ing a strict, watch upon scalpers In Chicago and St. Paul. Its spotters are abroad and are getting all the evidence they can against the scalpers and railroads that give them business. Chairman Caldwell, of the association, has Just issued a report of a recent investigation made In Chicago by an agent of the asso cition. The agent reported that it was easy to buy a ticket to St. Paul ait the rate of $9.50, with a large rebate, and that one road seemed to be tho most willing to honor scalpers* tickets. The report contained specific instances with names of the brokers and the railroad, and sometimes the number of the ticket bargained for, so that the evi dence ls complete. It is not known whether tlie association will take any action in the premises. The offending railrcad Is a mem ber cf the association, and is bound by Its obligations to maintain the same rates that all other roads in the association do, and for this reason the association may decide to discipline the road in some may, though action would be taken in such a way as not to oenfiict with tha interstate commerce law.

A good-sized audience gathered In the house of representatives at the capitol last evening to listen to an address by N. P. Langford upon the "Louisiana Purchase," A meeting of the executive council of the Historical society took place earlier in the evening. Matters of a routine nature were disposed of. W. J. Munro, of Morris, was elected to membership ln the society. The semi-centennial anniversary of the society will be celebrated wjjth ap propriate exercises next November. The committee having the programme ln charge reported progress. The fif tieth anniversary of the state, as a territory, will be doubtless observed at the same time, although, the dates of both anniversaries are not coincident. Mr. Langford reviewed the history of the Louisiana purchase as follows: On tho Ist of October, 1800. a treaty be tween France and Spain was concluded at St Ildephonso, of which the third article is iii tho following words: "His Catholic majesty promises and en gages to retrocede to the French republic, sl.v months after the full and entire execution of the above conditions and stipulations, rela tive to his royal highness the Duke of Parma the colony or province of Louisiana with the same extent that It now has in the hands of Spain, and that It had when France pos sessed it, and such as it ought to be alter the treaties subsequently entered Into be tween Spain and the other states." France being at war with England when this treaty was concluded. It was carefully concealed, lest England, then mistress of the seas, should take tha country from her. It is not surprising that the public men of that day should have feared the conse quences of enlarging our republican domain. It looked to them like the renewal of the, troubles which they had just escaped by the purchase of New Orleans and the mouth of the Mississippi. It un?'ottled the ideas they had formed of a constitutional government. They could not see, as we can ln this day of railroads and telegraph, how such an im mense territory was to be subordinated to 7h« control of a single general government. The speech of James White la a fair reflex of the views entertained by the leading public men of that day. Speaking of the treaty ho says : We have already territory enough, and when I contemplate the evils that may arise from this intended incorporation of Louisiana into the Union, I would rather see It given to France, to Spain, or to any other nation of the earth, upon the mere conditions that no citizen of the United States would ever settle within its limits, than tp see the ter ritory sold for a hundred millions of dol lars, and we retain the sovereignty. * * • And I do say that, under existing circum stances, even supposing that this extent of territory was a dcsira-ble acquisition, fifteen millions of dollars was a most enormous sum to give." This "enormous sum" was less than three cents an acre lor this immense domain, which had, in IS9O, as shown by the United States census, a population of over 11,000,000 of people, and. to say nothing of its yield of gold, silver, copper, coal and lumber, whose agricultural products alone ln 1596. amounted to $345,000,000. The dread of the disastrous consequences which Mr. White feared would follow the crossing of the Mississippi river, for the purpose of settlement, found expression in a resolution presented in congress, declar ing that any American citizen who should cross the Mississippi river for the purpose of settlement, should, by that act, forfeit all claim to the protection of his government. The questions which are now engrossing tho attention of the country concerning the acquisition of new territory are net new ques tions. Tho history of one hundred years ago is today repeating itself in every essen tial feature. The arguments of today are those of a century ago. The fears entertained .by our eariy states men are all forgotten. I have recalled them, not to illustrate any deficiency in the foresight or wisdom of tha men cf that day, but to show how remarkable has been the progress of improvement, discovery, and in vention, by which we have been enabled to incorporate not only the great Louisiana purchase, but others of still greater extent, Into the government of the great repuhlio, without endangering its safety and without any amendment to the constltutio. The doleful predictions of a century ago, like those we are today hearing, were born of a fear and timidity which are inimical to great progress; and they represent a men tal attitude which is not fitted to grappla with new problems. Standing in the valley of the Mississippi and casting our eyes over the Louisiana purchase to this we point with pride as the latest and noblest illustration of our re publican system of government. But beyond this West, which we so much admire and eulogize, there has come to us in tho islands of the Pacific, another West, where the real work of devolopment is Just commencing; a land whose rugged features civilization with all its attendant blessings will soften, and where man, educated, intellectual man, will plant upon foundations as firm as our moun tains, all the institutions of a free, enlight ened and happy people; a land where all the advantages and resources of our West of yesterday will be increased and varied by educational, industrial and social develop ment to an extent that has known no parailel, and that will fill the full measure of Berke ley's prophecy: ' Westward the course of empire takes its way. The first four acts already past. A fifth shall close the drama with the day. Time's noblest offspring is the last." On the Divorce Docket. Judge Lewis terminated 28 years of mar ried life yesterday by granting a divorce in the case of Louise N. Lucas vs. Robert E. Lucas. The couple were married at Canton, 0., in 1573, and the plaintiff aile/red that her husband deserted her on April 22, 1895, with out any apparent reason. She ls 44 years ola and has resuded in St. Paul for ten years. The divorce case of Anna B?nton vs. Wil liam H. Benton was up for hearing yesterday, but was passed on the statement of the at torney for the plaintiff that one of the prin cipal witnesses was sick. According to the complaint, the couple were married in Min neapolis Feb. 13, 1896. when the plaintiff was 80 and the defendant 23. Mrs. Benton alleges that her husband deserted her Dec. 11, 1597, and she wants permission to resume her maiden name of Anna Knoll. «_UC_. f^tt • New and J Correct Up to Date Map.
