adopt plan for systematic improvement
of the levee. The GLOBE does not mean to
say the city should at once make the entire
improvement, but it does say that whatever
is done now should be done as
a part of the general plan which
shall be adopted. The Diamond
10 line asks for permission to occupy
and improve the additional 200 feet above
the present warehouse. 1t is understood
that the Minnesota & Northwestern Rail-
road company desires to occupy the same
propositions now pending before the council
will give that body an opportunity to make
afull investigation of the matter, and thus
be enabled to determine what policy is best
for the city to pursue. If the present ware
house accommodations are not sufficient for
the steamboat trade there ought to be no
hesitation on the part Of the council to en-
large them. The river trade must first be
accommodated, whatever other interests
suffer. The river is the key to all of ST..
Pauls prosperity. That fact is so patent
that it requires no argument to establish.
Consequently the prime duty of the council
is to clear the coast for the river traffic and
to keep it clear. Next in importance is the
railroad interest. New roads coming into
the city should be provided with room
needed for the handling of freight, provided
it does not interfere with the river traffic.
AT present there is ample room for both the
river trade and the railroad traffic, conse-
quently for temporary purposes it is only a
matter Of adjustment to provide accommo-
datiOn for both. The time may come, and
surely will come within ten or fifteen years,
it the city's growth continues in proportion
to its progress the last five years, when
there will not be room for both on this
river bank. If that time does come and
either must be crowded out, let US remember
that the river is always to be of more inn
portance to us than all the railroad lines
that were ever built or ever will be con-
structed. There are other sites which can
be used for railroad depots and warehouses,
while the river must flow on forever over
its present bed. These facts should not be
lost sight of in the determination of this
matter

THE LEvEE IMPROVEMENTS.

The discussion in the chamber of COM
merce yesterday morning makes it all the
more evident that the levee improvement is
one of the most important matters con-.
nected with the future growth and develop
ment of the city. 1t is already apparent that
the city has heretofore been too negligent
in this matter, and in its liberality has per-
mitted ground to be used for other pur-
poses which ought to have been retained for
the use of the river trrffic. If this fact is
apparent now it will be more so ten years
hence when the business aud population of
the city is twice or three times greater than
it is when the river has been improved and
its value as competing factor with the
railroads will be better appreciated than now
There is no use in crying over spilled milk,
nor is there any reason why we should
grumble about what has been done beyond
redemption. But the experiences of the
past should serve to remind US of the duty
of providing against any more errors of the
same sort. The GLOBE has heretofore
urged that the city council should at once

THE PRICES.

The only feature of the stock market yes
terday was the strength developed in Lake
Shore in the early dealings. This stock
showed gain of 30 at the opening, fiuctu-
ated fraction or two, closing q higher, with
net advance of 4 per cent, the only stock
that shows a gain over Saturday. Stocks
were fairly active and strong at the opening,
and first prices showed gains of e to IS over
closing prices of Saturday. From about 10
O'clock however, till late in the afternoon,
there was a slowly dropping market, without
any material reaction, and it closed dull and
firm. The wheat market at Chicago was
slow and dragging till near the close, when
a better trade and stronger feeling pre-
vailed. At st. Paul it was unchanged. AT
Duluth the market was dull and inactive. AT
Minneapolis a shade stronger.

Assaulted bv Rouphs.

Early this morning Officer Leonard of
the Central precinct was assaulted by
a gang of roughs, who had inter-
fered with the arrest of one
of their companions. The hoodlums had
been creating disturbance around the sa-
loon on Sixth avenue south between Wash
ington avenue and Third street, and the
officer arrested the ring-leader. The pris-
oner resisted arrest and effected his
escape. Subsequently the officer
found him at the same saloon and
when he attempted to arrest him the second
time the gang turned upon him. One of the
roughs struck the officer on the head with a
heavy instrument, cutting an ugly wound
on the back of the head. One of the
rufians named Glassner was arrested. The
officers injuries were attended to by sur
geon.

ONLY A PANsY BLOSSOM. =

A St. Paul gentleman yesterday plucked
bunch of pansies which grew in his gar
den in the open air and brought them to the
GLOBE Office. These modest, well-tipped
fow'rets, like sweet thoughts that come
winged from the maiden fancy, almost
convinced US that we were living in some
tropical cline where the birds sing and the
flowers bloom all the year round. Now let
our envious neighbors of the East and
the South quit INVITING us about the rigors
of a Minnesota climate. We may have to
forego the pleasure of roaming mid ice
palaces, but we can have pansy blossoms at
New Year, instead.

Possible Disme mberment o f. Turkey

LONDON, Dec. 29.-The car is about to
reinstate Prince Alexander of Bulgaria in
his former rank in the Russian army.
The presence of Prince Voukoff and
other Russian officers at Sofia
makes close alliance between Russia and
Bulgaria. These facts have caused alarm
among the friends of Turkey. 1t is
believed the compact between the car
and Prince Alexander, by which
Russia recognizes the Bulgarian union, is
the prelude to Russian campaign in the
spring and the final dismemberment Of the
Turkish empire

A BURSTED BUBBLE.

The rise in the rate of foreign exchange
which the excited New York organs util-
lied to make an argument in favor of silver

was as sudden as the rise. The very next
day the rate went down to its normal stand
ard, and the gold bugs were left without an
argument. 1t was only one of those specu-
lative spurts which will occur, no matter
what the dollar standard may be.

For those who watch and weep,
