surprise that the godly men and women VINO
have under taken to make of the Lake Park
at Minnetonka gigantic outdoor spiritual
retreat, have employed the worst form OF
gambling-that of the lottery-in disposlng
of the lots they have had for sale. Ministers
and laymen united in the scheme, which is
not only an immoral but an illegal one, and
reioiced greatly that their scheme was such
a great financial success. They had two
hundred and twenty-f five lots they wanted to
dispose of in this park devoted to the SER
vice of religion. The intending purchasers
among whom were four clergymen, the
governor of the State, member of Con-
gress and many prominent citizens OF MID
neapolis, all of whom ought to have more
regard for morality and law than they dis
played, delegated to chance the privilege OF
deciding what lots they should purchase and
what price they should pay, and yet We pre-
sumo they would denounce man who pur-
chased lottery ticket without stint
These protesting Christians no doubt e1-
pect that this park, thus inaugurated by a
violation of the State law and crime against
the cuurch, will be the means of accomplish
ing much good. We trust itawill, but can
not see how good can result from an enter
prise inaugurated in such manner. The
moral sense of the community has been
shocked, the law outraged, and the character
of the Christians who countenanced the
lottery for consistency has been utterly de-
stroyed How dare any Of them object to
quiet game of poker or faro after having
participated in far worse species OF
gambling? Christians ought to be not only
consistent but they ought to avoid setting

ST. PAUL audiences claim the credit of
being exceptionally critical in theatrical and
operate matters. Perhaps they are, but it
is little singular that the poorest perform
ances during the past year have drawn the
largest audiences, while the best have either
not been patronlzed at all or but Indifferent
ly supported. While negro minstrel show
has had packed houses, John Mccullough,
an actor without peer in the world, played
his sublime tragedies to empty benches
while beggarly cantata or comic opera has
been hailed with plaudits of delight, "The
Danites,' which has crowded every theater
in the country for the past two years, has
had to go a-begging for patrons. St.'Paul
audiences are critical, yet they don't know a
respectable performance when they see it.
They have taken the proper course to drive
all good amusements from the city.

SOME of onr citizens have, during the
present season, laid the foundations for fu-
ture wealth by commencing the erection of
residences that are greatly needed by our
DISTINGUISHING population, but many of our
largest property owners exhibit a reluctance
to invest cent in such enterprises. 1t is to
be hoped that public spirited citizens who
are contemplating Improvements will en-.
deavor, as far as possible, to make them re-
mote from the property of those who have

surfacing Ninth and Tenth Streets.
There seems to be some Misunderstanding
about the matter of sssurfacing" Ninth and
Tenth streets, which is susceptible of an
easy explanation. It will be remembered
the board of public works recommended
that these streets be paved for width of
fifteen feet in the center with cedar blocks.
This action was taken because the board
thought the streets were bordered by
imposing residences, land the roadwaysf SHOULD
be correspondingly and permanently i'm
proved.
To this plan the property holders urged
objections and the council took action in
accordance Herewith, suggesting gravel
this action of the council the board called
estimate of the costs s:. Of
the cedar pavement with gravel surfacing to
the cutters, and an entire rock or gravel sur
facing. The engineer furnished the esti-
mates, showing great excess in the cost of
cedar blocks over the ordinary surfacing.
The board took issue with this exhibit, and
thought if bids were advertised for the diff
ference would not show up SO unfavorably
for the pavement project. To this extent
alone does the board adhere to Its project to
partly pave and partly surface the streets,
believing the improvement should be per-
manent in character, and advising that bids
be asked to show the difference in
the two plans. At any rate
the board has no desire to go contrary to the
will of the property owners, but retains the
opinion that if the streets are to be improved
they should be put in permanent shape.

st. Paul Foundry and Manufacturing
Company.
The st. Paul Foundry and Manufactur-
ing Company have filed with the Secretary
of State an amendment of the original ar
ticles of incorporation, by which the capital
stock of the company Is increased from
$4,000 to $15O,0OO. The above amend
ment in itself is of no particular Importance,
but when there is coupled with it the fur
Their and additional statements, that the cor
poration has been in existence less than two
years, having been organized November, 1879,
and that its capital stock at that time was
but $4,000, the real significance Of the
change will be understood. The simple
statement is that capital stock is trebled, or
in other words that the business of the cor
poration has increased to such an extent that
the incorporators find themselves compelled
in order to keep up with the demands upon
their resources, to put $4,000 into the
business to day where less than two years
ago 900 was all abundant.
