THE STORY OF THE YEAR
SPRING..

No matter what the almanac NAV sav,
The year begins with the first month
of Spring
When snowdrifts into ~rivulets slip awav.
And blue birds of the coming violet
sing:
When March winds sweep the stairway
of the rocks
From rubbish heaps of Autumn-leafage
clear;
And the sun turns back from the equinox
To welcome and lead home the baby
Year.
The baby's name is Spring. Around her
Quaint ferns their scrolls unroll, and
MOSES rare
Her winsome footsteps on the wood
land stair.
Three breezy steps, and on a sunlit floor
Bordered with daisies, roses and green
grass,
The maiden Year, at Summers open
door
Hears music summoning up a noun
tain pass.
And on she climbs; soft strains the
thickets thrill;
Elusive fairy visions fit beyond;
The forest-path invites her upward still
Light tendrils cling to her, with
touches fond.
0 the enchanted world! Q youth! Q
June!
Nowonder that the heart cannot forget
Those morning melodies, that first
learned tune!
Through deepening harmonies they
haunt her yet!
A woman, moving up the orchard-slope,
With even gait, and steady, seeking
Autumn, that ripens all things, ripens
hope;
Trees bear fruit every month, in
Paradise.
September, standing on her golden round
Of the years ladder, mid her vintage
leaves,
Hears through her harvest-felds a wall
resound;
Her starving sisters begging for her
sheaves.
Autumn did but enrich herself to give;
And, scattering blessings, see her now
depart,
Whispering that on life's hills twas
sweet to live,
While Indian Summer sunshine
warmed her heart.
December's sun is low the Year is old:
Through fallen leaves and flying flakes
of snow,
The aged pilgrim climbs the mountain
cold.
But look! the SUBMITS in the after
glow!
The fierce winds hold their breath: the
rocks give way:
The stars look down to guide her up
the height:
And all around her lonely footsteps play
Auroral waves of spiritual light.
Nothing before her but the peak, the sky
Nothing? All, look! beyond is every
thing!
Over these mountains greener valleys lie;
A happier New Year, an eternal
Spring!

The condition of the real estate market
during the past week has been good. On
Monday few transfers were recorded, that
day being Decoration day, this fact dimin-
ishes the aggregate of the week when COM
pared with those of former weeks. The
sum total is about the same as the averr
OF former weeks, viz: Something over half
million. Business has been active all
around in all parts of the city, and dealing
has been we'll distributed between business
and residence property. The only part of
the city where there has been
any unusual excitement was in
West st. Paul. Here, for the last
three or four days it has been red hot.
During these days there has been scram-
BILE to get hold of lots there. This excite
ment has been principally in what is known
provement Syndicate, located down near
the motor line depot The struggle to get
lots in this locality has beaten the excite
ment in regard to Mississippi street prop
erty when it was made public that the
Northern Pacific had bought the Edmund
Rice property. Men were continually run
ming back and forth between West st. Paul
and the East side offices. negoti-
ating purchases. 1t was the
most active work in real estate transactions
ever seen in st. Paul. Between one and
two hundred thousand dollars worth Of
property was sold during this time, and the
indications are that the struggle will be
renewed tomorrow morning. The growing
confidence in the community as to securi-
ties in real estate mentioned last week has
increased during the week, and the tone of
the public mind has greatly improved.
Building is also increasing. and the timidity
that has hung around all kinds of business

DEMAGOGUE OR STATESMAN

During a long period of years the
character of the typical American politi-
clan has been moulded in the routine
methods which he followed-the first OF
which was to secure the mass of ignorant
voters, to whom the appeal was the re-
verse of what would please conservatism
and property.
And then having secured mob, the
candidate used that much power gained
to insist on the support Of the other
elements, the alternative being party
iefeat.
In the age of popular education it was
fair to suppose that this would be changed
for the better and it is not TO be denied
hat there has been moral advance in
the grade of political character.

began to be appealed to, and in some
c.ses there have been committees who
required the candidate to pass inspection
before responsibility would come to his
support
The great stride forward, however, has
been very lately, when the issue between
conservatism and communism was dis
tinctly made, and people of conserv-
alive sentiments became positive IN their
demand for men of patriotism and non
esty.
We look forward, therefore, with rea-
sonable hope to see higher standard OF
qualification for all oflice-seekers, when
responsibility of all classes must at least
have an even chance with the mob.

We earnestly call attention to the point
we made last week, that the issue in fore
ing the tax-collectors to levy and boy
colt the people who pay in coupons
is something entirely different from any
concern with the debt question. We
never objected to the appeal to the peo-
pie to pay in money. Like thousands
of others, we pay our taxes in money
but we protest against a policy of terror

BOGUS REFORM.
Some Interesting Items from the City'S
Books.
LET Us INVESTIGATE.

Nr. E8itor: At the September meet
ing of the Council Committee on Gas,
Messrs. Molloy, Conner, Davis, and
Kaufelt. in the absence OF Messrs. Pow
ers (chairman), Guy, and Otley, increased
the pay of certain employees at the Gas
Works. At the October meeting, when
this violation Of the law came to the
knowledge of the last-named gentlemen,
they informed the others that their action
was illegal, and requested them to rescInd
the resolution. This they declined to DO.
4 resolution was then offered asking the
opinion of the city attorney as 10 the
legality of the matter. This the tour
first-named gentleman also refused TO
support. Mr.. Molloy remarking, that
Knight is right and as we have the
majority we propose to allow no recon
sideration.'
Chapter 6 Of City Ordinances, after
setting forth what the salaries OF mayor,
engineer. &c, &c, shall be, says in sec
ton 4: "All other officers and employees
of the city shall receive the salary or
compensation provided by the ordinances
of the city or resolutions Of City Council
here. lltn. VIC law a lA''iii
of the city ordinances. Ignorance can be
no excuse, as every member OF the CITY
Council is furnished with a copy OF city
ordinances. Obviously the time has ar
rived when we should see what this bo-
gus reform means.
Now to the gist of the matter. As the
increase of pay was made contrary to law,
will the chairman of the committee APP
prove the payroll? If so, will the Audi
tor recognize it? Can his bOndsmen be
held responsible for all moneys thus
illegally paid out?
will further inquire why has nothing
been said about this by the press, when
reporters are sent around from day to

and columns of space in some OF the
papers are devoted to such items as these

him to decide the matter. No candidate

decide whether he can succeed in that

"TNEARNED INCREMENT"

The Boston Herald agrees with Mr.
George about the forfeit of the "un-
earned increment"-that is, the value Of
property accumulated from other reason
than the owners own personal efforts.
But yet the editor of the HeraId,
says contemporary, bought news
paper in the booming city Of Mime
apolis which, by the increase OF values
around it, and without much effort Of the
owner, became very valuable. The "un-
earned increment orspeculatiye increase
of value was mdeniable, yet if the able
editor of the Boston Hernia were request
ed to apply the George principle to his
property he would nominate George for
lunatic asylum.
