thinks it would be unwise to do So Just
as Mr.. Lincoln and associates thought
it wise to turn everybody out as

CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

One of the most popular misappre-
tensions is as to the scope of the Civil |
Service law, the quite prevalent impress
sion being that the act hampers the
President in that it prevents him from
removing Federal officers at Will. The
Republican newspaper organs have done
much to create this false impression, the
object being to make an opportunity for
casting odium on the President for
having disregarded the law. should he
remove persons that might be regarded
as having good claim upon continuing
| in Office. The act Ras not intended to
hamper, but rather to help the head of
the nation, and SO far it has worked
admirably, keeping no one in Office who
should have been removed. nor in any
manner interfering with the prerogatiye
of the President in the matter of ap-
pointments. The administration is
held responsible by all parties for good
government, which could not be the
case of the law handicapped the Presi.
dent in anyway. and made it impossi-
bic for him to place in the offices such
persons as will work in harmony with
him, and enforce his policy; hence
/ no party would consent to a law
, to make it possible for the
i chief executive to be placed in the posi-
| ton of having to employ agents and
/ subordinates who were opposed to
him, and who would do what they
could to defeat him and bring his party
> into contempt.

MILK IN THE REDIsTRICTING CO
GD1NTT


The advocates of the redistricting scheme
seem to overlook the fact that in the omni-
bus bill which has passed the Legislature there
is clause granting to the city council the
power to change and readjust ward bound
aries. This is right the council has never
heretofore enjoyed under the city charter, but
has been compelled to go 10 the state legisla-
ture for its local lie gslation in matters of this
character. The change here referred to as
provided by the omnibus bill relieves the
legislature of a good deal of worry, and con-
ceding the principle of home rule RENTS
matters of such purely local character to the
city's legislative body, the council, where it
properly belongs. Having granted to the
city council the right to act in this matter, it
Is hardly possible that the legislature would
now want to undertake to do the work itself.
That body has now before it sufficient matter
OF general interest to occupy the few re-
naming days of the session without devot-
ing its valuable time to the discussion of a
local subject pertaining exclusively to the
city of st. Paul, and especially in view of the
fact that the city council has already been
clothed with ample power to adjust the matter
to its own satisfaction.
There is another point worthy OF public
consideration in this connection. If inc
qualities in the ward subdivisions
OF the city do exist, it would hardly be judi
cious to correct them by any redistricting
scheme until after the new census which is
provided for shall have been taken, in order
that proper basis for redistricting shall be
had. The legislature might undertake to re-
district the city by passing the bill now pend
ing. and vet, when short time afterward
the new census shall be taken, it may show
that the legislative plan of redistricting pre-
seuts more glaring inequalities than now
exist. While If the matter is left with the
city council, where it naturally and legiti-
mately belongs, as soon as the census has
been completed the council should, aud
doubtless will, proceed at once to correct any
or all inequalities which may be found to ex-
ist in the present ward subdivisions.
In view Of these facts aud the additional
consideration that some of our Republican
contemporaries are pressing this measure
upon alleged political grounds and, as al
legged. for the purpose of gaining partisan
political advantage. and al the same time
shoulder the bulk of responsibility for the
wrongs of which they complain upon the city
engineer. who is himself stauDch Republi-
1T does seem that there is cat concealed
somewhere in the meal tub. The so-called
arguments in favor Of the scheme are so
superficial it is not undesirable to guess
that there IS really "a Niger in the wood
pile'' somewhere

sL4YDER UPON DIR. WILLARD.

HENEY WILLARD is now in Russia building
railroad for the government 10 the Caspian sea.
But unless he islands in with the corrupt Off
Gals for which that country is noted, he might
earn residence in Siberia by trying any IN ne of
his golden spike and spectacular bankruptcy
business. Chicago Times.
The above Is unkind and not justified by
Mr.. WIZARDS conduct of the affairs of the
Northern Pacific. Mr.. WILLARD performed a
great work in pushing the construction Of
the Northern Pacific, opening up a new en-
pire to development and building line to
invite the trade and traffic of the rich lands
beyond the eastern shores of the Pacific.
His goldens-pike spectacular was an
error of judgment, nothing more. There
was no faint of corruption about it. His idea
was TO attract foreign capital and immigra-
ton to the country tributary TO the Northern
Pacific and to demonstrate that he had made
a good investment of the money intrusted
to his care. And this will thoroughly demon
strate that he was wise and far-seeing be-
yond the ken of some of his critics and those
who worked his downfall at a critical june
ture in his eventful career. Had some
nerYeless hand moulded the destinies
of the Northern Pacific just prior
to the present depression that great
thoroughfare would not now be
in operation, bearing the rich commerce of
the West TO the East, and the commodities OF
the East to the West 1t is doubtful If the
work would be done for years yet to come
had he not pushed it through as quickly as
he did He found the work tied up in the
Bad Lands and with mastery activity he adj
vanced it up the Yellowstone and across the
mountains, piercing Miller and Bozeman
passes, and on to the lines his combination con-
trolled and the great result was accomplished.
The people of the Northwest owe Mr.. VIZ
LARD more than they can ever repay and
they feel keenly the injustice of such reaec-
tons as the foregoing from so great news
paper as the Times, which circulates so
largely in sections of country where Mr..
WIZARDS work is not understood and APP
preclated as it Is from here to the Pacific. 1t
Is hoped here that he viii be better rewarded
In Russia than he was in New York.

THE SILVER ,vRANGLE.

The silver men evidently think they have
the advantage of President-elect CLEVELAND
and come back at him in vigorous style.
They attempt to show that the continued
coinage of silver will not bring the disaster
OF which Mr.. CLEVELAND expresses an appre-
hension in his letter. 1t is peculiar what
widely divergent views individuals will hold
upon any given subject. Now here is Mr..
CLEVELAND honestly believing that unless
the coinage of silver is suspended within a
reasonably short time there will be q finan-
cial crash, while on the other hand the gen.
tlemen in congress who are bimetalists as
conscentiously believe that the crash will
come If silver coinage is suspended. The
convictions of both sides are firm and that
they are honest is evinced by the feeling
displayed in the matter.
The president:elect has succeeded in pre-
clpitating an issue even before the reins
pass into his hands. There are those who
will criticise him for provoking quarrel with
MS own party friends so early in the history
OF restored Democratic supremacy. 1t was
bold NOV e, and man with less moral
courage than GROVER CLEVELAND would not
have dared to have stirred strife so early.
But looking at it simply as matter of party
policy it was wise thing to do. The sub
Ject had to be agtated. discussed and deter
mined sooner or later. 1t is better to have
the battle over and the debris cleared away
before the next session of congress than to
nave more important measures showed aside
at that time for bitter Wran9le over the sill
yer question. If there is any bad blood in
the Democratic party the best thing that can
be done is to have it drawn at the outset of
the Democratic administration, aud not let it
hngerin the veins of the party organization
to produce bad results in the future. Mr..
CLEVELAND has evidently made up his mind
to be president, and what is more he is going
to be the president of the United States. He
is not to be subsidized.

Special TO the Globe,
KEoKUK, Ia, March In the early part
of November, 1851, the steamer War Eagle
was caught in a cross current during time
of high water while trying to head into the
open draw of the bridge at this point, was
carried against one of the iron spans which
was torn away and dropped into the river.
The boat Aoated short distance and sank,
but was shortly afterward raised. The St
Louis and st. Paul Packet company, the owners
of the boat, having entered suit in the
United States circuit court against the
Keokuk and Hamilton Bridge company,
claiming $50, 900 damages as the result OF
accident, the bridge company yesterday filed
its answer in reply to the allegations OF the
plaintiff, setting forth negligence on the
part of the employees of the Packet company
and putting in counter claim for slOO,OOO
to repay it for the loss Of the bridge span
and business and the expense Of ferry

ties claim that an attempt Tas made TO run

The Tramp QUESTION.

Beggars professionally and tramps will re-
ceive little sympathy, but able bodied individ-
uals will be assisted to employ
ment. The belief of the society is
that charity in the usual acceptation of
the terms tends to debase and pauperize, and
thus what is most needed is a friend who will
help others to help themselves and stimulate
habits of industry and economy. Since,
when possible, labor must be made the basis
of riches, odd jobs intended Principally to
serve as tests are provided and the society
here has perfected arrangements with a
wood yard to furnish employment to all sent
there, the proprietor of the yard agreeing to
furnish work at fair comp ensation pro
vided the society agrees to dispose of the
product of this labor. This the society claims
it can readily do and the scheme is in opera
ton, though for the present it is deemed ex-
pedient to keep secret the location of the
yard.
1t was stated by Mr.. John Vischer, super
intendent Of the st. Paul charity organiza-
ton, that out of about twenty sent to the
wood yard with earnest professions of in
dustrious inclinations and inability to pro-
cure work but three were found who were
sincere. These three were craftsmen who
could not get work in their particular line,
but were willing to undertake anything to
secure their independence.

ST. PAUL. CHARITIES.

Something Of Interest Concerning the Scope
and Objects Of Worthy Institution.
The relief of the worthier poor is matter
which has long engaged the thought of per-
sons interested in philanthropic work. Within
the past month a society has been organized
in our city which seems to embody the most
practicable theories and methods of charita-
BILE thinkers and workers. In fact there is
no longer question of the practcablity of
the plan upon which this new society is
based, as there are at present in active and
successful operation thirty-seven of these
organizations in as many cities Of the coun-
try Every department of the work is en-
tirely removed from all questions of religion,
politics or nationality, and no person in
any way connected with the society is per-
mitted to use his position for purposes Of
spiritual instruction.
The 'Charity Organization society of St.
Paul." as the home institution is called,
also declares as one of its funda-
mental principles that it will not in
any form directly dispense aims. In
all applications for aid a thorough invest
igation is made into the worthiness OF the
petitioner, and a complete registration is
maze OF Inc circumstances surrounding Ino
case. These facts are not open to the gen
eral public, but are subject to the inspection
of other charitable societies. and to such in
dividuals as may have legitimate interest
in a particular individual. Thus an object
of charity can be prevented from receiving
assistance from more than one agency at a
time, and also from individual sources. AS
case in point, for three years family in
the city have been aided by the
county board of charities, and
at the same time from a church benevolent
association. The family were unfortunate
and deserving objects of charity, but often
times they were helped to wood by the one
association, which want had previously been
supplied by the other, when other necessaries
were in more urgent demand. Consequently
there was more or less confusion and con-
fiict, the work of each body was imperative
in its best intent, and the persons designed
to be helped did not profit to their needs. 4
system of registration and cooperation be-
tween all engaged in this kind of work will
prevent occurrences of the nature mentioned.
Instances of excessive aims are avoided and
imposition and fraud are at once detected
and exposed.
