RAILROAD DISGRI NINATION.

The incisive letter of a correspondent,
which we publish this morning, will attract
attention, not SO much for the presentation
OF new facts, as for the pertinent application
OF what is already known. The railroad dis
ordinations which are therein cited have
already retarded the growth of St. Paul, and
unless remedied will prove positively fatal.
We can never hope to create large and
commanding business center so long as we
are at the mercy Of corporations, whose in
terests are to build up other localities, and
who will follow those interests to the ut
most limit, regardless of right or justice to-
wards other points. It is notorious that
our Wholesale merchants can sell bill
of goods in Dakota, Montana or Nebraska
easier than they can sell at Northfeld, Fari
bault, Hastings, Red Wing and other cities
within few miles of st. Paul. The same
embargo which our correspondent notes as
placed upon wheat coming to st. Paul, Is
applied upon goods going from St. Paul.
A Chinese wall is effectually erected about
st. Paul BY the Chicago roads, and the peo-
pie groan without relief.
The railroad commissioner is mere
figure head, a tool in the hands of the rail-

The board of public works met in regular
session yesterday forenoon, President Becker
in the chair. Present Messrs. Timme and
Harrington. A number of citizens appeared
reeardlng the assessment for opening an
alley in block of Rice & Irvine's addi-
ton. discussion ensued, and final con-
sideration of the subject was postponed nm
til the next meeting.
The engineer submitted q preliminary
estimate for the grading of Bluff street from
robert to st. Peter streets, amounting to
$4,4OO, the same being referred to the mem
Der from the Third ward.
Inc oouncil order recommending the con-
struction of culvert across Fort
street, near jefferson street, was
taken up for consider alton, and report
was submitted by the engineer calling at
tention to the fact that the cost of the work
could not be assessed upon property owners.
for the reason that there was no established
grade at the location named and it should
not be paid out of the depleted work fund.
The engineer recommended temporary
crossing of timber and that the building Of
the culvert be put off until the street is grad
ed. The report was adopted and referred to
the council. The matter of grading Aurora
avenue was then taken up and after q SLIGHT
discussion the subject was referred to the
council, accompanied by q report recon-
mending change of grade, as suggested bv
the engineer, and that the order be 40
changed as to grade the avenue from Broad
way TO Robert streets.

roads, who does their bidding, and is paid q
handsome salary by the State for so doing.
OF course he might be more effective
even under the present law, but he is not
there for that purpose. His mission IS ap-
parently to look after railroads and see
that the people do not Cypress them, and he
does the work 30 etfectuallY that the least
the Chicago corporations can do is to pay
his salary, and relieve the people from b=ing
taxed to pay the hand that smites them. A
change in the commissioner might be some
what advantageous, but the Chicago, Mil
waukee & 81. Paul, and the Northwestern
lines have too firm grip upon our throsts
to permit such transformation to be made.
The people have the remedy in their hands
if they choose to apply it. The highest tri
bunal in the land has settled that point, and
the Minnesota railroads ought to join hands
with the people of the State and secure re-
lief from the exactions of the Chicago lines.
The position taken recently by Mr.. Drake,
leads US to hope that this result may be az
complished. 1t is evident Minnesota must
pool her issues of every description in order
to cope with the giant which Seeks
to throttle her, and it is to the in
terests of our Minnesota roads, as well as the
people generally, to- unite for self protection.
When this is done We may hope to secure
relief from the exactions which our CORE
sponent, 1T. NJ NJ" so forcibly portrays.

Arrangements for Rspai's-Opening Of
STATE Fair. ~
A special meeting Of the Board of educa-
ton was held yesterday at O'clock p. M,
Mr.. President Soheffer in the chair.
REPAIRS TO THE SCHOOLS.
The object was to hear report from the
committee on property relative to the con-
dition of the several school buildings.
Inspector Weed stated he had visited all
the schools, and thought $500 would have to
be expended before the schools would be
suitable for occupancy during the next
school year. In detail, he set forth the re-
pairs necessary. OF all the schools the
Franklin and Neill schools are needing the
most repairs. The Franklin was wofully
out of order, out houses and the interior
were in such condition that the building
could not be occupied unless immediate re-
pairs were made. Plastering was needed at
the Neill school, and calclmining was neces-
sary at all the schools.
Inspector McCardY believed the committee
should be authorized to make all repairs
neces airy.
Inspector Donnelly offered resolution
directing the committee to cause all neces-
sary repairs to be made to the several school
buildings. Carried.
THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE IN TIE SIXTH WARD
Inspector Benz thought that some action
should be taken in regard to the erection of
new school house to replace the Vine street
school. He thought action should be taken
by the board at once, as the
building was needed. Some au
thority should be given the committee
on property to secure plans, specifications,
etc.. for suitabl building.
Some little discussion arose as to where
the money for the building was to com.
from as the boards budget for next years
expenses was still in the hands Of the CITY
council.
Inspector Otis submitted resolution an
thoriziug the committee on property to adj
vertlse tor bids for plans, etc., f,,r Vine
street school house and to consider other
matters relative thereto.
Inspector McCardy amended so as to in.
clude the construction of suitable school
building in the Third precinct Of the Fourth
ward Como district.
Both amendment and resolution were
adopted without dissent. .-
SCHOOL OPENS SECOND MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER.
Inspector Buuz said a matter IF impor-
lance was, "When should the schools b.
"pened?'' It was provided that school should
begin the first Monday in September. H.
thought that owing to the State FAIR occurring
during the first week of September, he
thought the second Monday of September
was the most suitable time to commence the
school. In view of the fac t that the teacher
had he n sum noned for the first week, the
could get their pay for that week and max
it mp ut snre other time. He moved. there
fore, the reconsideration of the vote, at al
journed Meeting, by which the first Mnnda,
IN September was fixed, as the date to opel
school Carried.
Inspector Benz then moved that the pub
lie schools be opened for the school year OF
Monday, the 9th of September. Carried.
after which the board adjourned.

EVARTS FOR PRESIDENT.

The public man of to day who has not got
the Presidential bee in his bonnet is a Msus
nature, and hence as one after another of
the men of the time is announced as an as.
pirant for the highest honor in the gift of
the people it excites no surprise. A State
that cannot turn out three or four candi-
dates for the Presidency is of but little &C.
count, and ought to cut no figure whatever
in our politics. Minnesota, small though
she is, has already developed two possibles,
and there Is yet year before the conven-
ton meets. New York has superfluity.
md is not yet satisfied. With Tilden, Prot.
Conkling, Robinson, Seymour, and one or
two others she yet yearns for more. Appre
ciating the void Mr.. Evarts has come to the
rescue, and has intimated that he would
not be averse to accepting the Office if it was
offered him, though, with characteristic
,nodesty he AYERS that he could not be in.
duced to undertake an active part in the
canvass for the place. He has, however,
taken the first step in that direction by en-
leavorlng to have himself nominated for
governor Of New York, in the expectation
that if elected, he would be regarded as an
~lgible candidate for chief magistrate of the
whole nation.
Mr.. Evarts is reported to be a gentleman
and scholar. He could not fill the execu-
tive chair as completely, perhaps, as Davi /
Davis, and be IS in one respect entitled to
more consideration. He has done far more for
The country by raising family of large and
interesting daughters. eight in mum Der,
While Davis can boast neither chick nor child
though he has had equal opportunlt es with
'ur distinguished secretary of fore ign af.
airs. Mr.. Evarts possesses, beside., quail.
lcatlons for the position that are exceed
eedingly rare. He can write messages With
'ut the aid of an amanue nSis. H s messages
would be models of corciseness and per-
@picuity. If all the paper mills in the
county could Q induced to run night and
lay for year or so, they could easily fur.
nish paper enough upon which his opening
sentence could be written, while we have no
doubt the ink manufactures could furnish
writing fluid enough for bis consumption.
His election would have beneficial effect on
Congress in preventing that great and grow.
ing evil-too much legislation-for the read
ing of his messages would be apt to con-
sumo all the time allotted for the sessions,
giving our solons no opportunity to legislate
on any subject.
Taken altogether Mr.. Evarts possesses
some qualifications for the position, and we
trust the Republicans will recognize them by
giving him the nomination. 1t is true he
has not always been steadfast party man,
but that makes little difference. He has
supported and served Hayes faithfully fc,
the last three years, and when man can 90
to such an extreme of sacrifice to his per-
'onal honor no question should be raised a.
to his party fealty. He is man of letters
very many of them-and would be q vast
improvement upon the last two occupants
of the White House. The GLOBE NAV be
put down as solid for Evarts-on the Repub.
lican ticket.
