VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
The Smoke Ordinance and Manu-.
featuring.
To the Editor of the Globe:

To the Editor of the Globe:
I read with some interest your editorial on
ST. Paul manufactures. Last week the
American Machinist also had an article on
the same subject and running in the same
sauguine strain of the manufacturing in
terests of st. Paul as does the GLOBE. For
one, l am glad to see this movement and there
is no doubt, in my opinion, thar ST. Paul pos
SeSSes advantages 10 manufacturers, but the
advantages ST. Paul naturally possesses for
manufacturing are being crushed out as fast
as il seems possible. 1t is the greatest mys-
terry in the world how the few manufacturing
establishments we now have manage to get
enough out of their business to
pay for their insurance policies. I can
mention half n dozen establishments who pay
over per cent. insurance. The inducement
for new insurance company here is great,
provided manufacturing interests increase in
proportion. a short time ago some man of
wisdom conceived the idea that il would be
largely for st. Paul's interest to keep up with
the time and have a smoke ordinance. An
ordinance every city in the world has prob
ably tried and could never make work. Chi
cago tried the experiment and has wisely ar
rived at the conclusion tibet it's better 10
have smoke than to be without business.
With the exception Of locomotives, chicago
is the same with a smoke ordinance as IL was
without it. The matter of cheap fuel is tha
backbone of manufacturing industries
center largely by means of its ability to get
cheap fuel The discovery of natural gas is
now giving it a still greater advantage.
The cheapest fuel for steam and heating
purposes here is soft coal, and the reason il
is cheap is because it has to be hauled nc
great distance. The coal beds OF Iowa anG
the new discoveries of soft coal in Montans
seem to be natures provision for the coalina
of this locality. Now the wise aldermen OF
the CITY council say we must not let il smoke
They might as well allow boilermakers to
make boilers only on the condition that they
make no noise. Soft coal makes black smoke,
and all the smoke consumers ever invented
have but little or no effect. There are lot
of smoke consumers in the market, and their
agents guarantee to stop the smoke and save
from 10 to 80 per cent. of the fuel, but they
don't work. st. Paul need have no fear OF
being overrun with manufacturing institu-
lions so long as it publicly advertises-that if
you come here you can't smoke.
If you want to see business, manufacturing
and smoke, go to Minneapolis.

PHILADELPHIA. March 1.-THE follow
ing are the authoritative objections of Mr..
4. G. Knight. one of the reorganization
trustees to the plan adopted by them for
the reorganization of the Philadelphia Il
Reading Railroad company:
j dissent because an effort should first have
been made for reorganization without fore
closure; because the general mortgage hold
ers are TO receive more than they are entitled
to to the detriment of all the junior securities,
stockholders and creditors; because the stock
holders will not be at liberty to manage their
own property after paying u heavy assess
ment, thus suffering taxation without repre-
sentation; because the proposed mode is a
very expensive one; because it destroys q
valuable charter that cannot be replaced and
disintegrates a very valuable and important
property; because It is unjust TO many in
terests, great loss TO the citizens OF Phila-
delpbia and the state of Pennsylvania, and
may be against the laws and constitution OF
our state

ARIGHTEOTs DECTHON.

The case of the Houston county school
superintendent. against whom the charge
of drunkenness had been preferred, afforded
an excellent opportunity to test Gov. HUB
BARD's nerve. 1t will be gratifying to
his eXcellency's friends, as it is to all the
people of the state who set value on good
morals, that the governor was equal to the
emergency, and has decided the case ac-
cording to good gospel, if it was not in ac-
cordance with a strict Interpretation of the
law. If drunkenness is not legal dsquali-
ficatiOn for holding Office. it ought to be
made so. It is true that in its application
TO the removal Of county officers the law is
little obscure, and those who are given to
technical constructions of law will doubt
less maintain that the governor strained a
point in reaching the conclusions arrived at
in his decision. At the same time his
critics must admit that his error, if he did
err leaned to virtues side. If there was
10 precedent to guide his action he GER
tainly has established q precedence for the
guidance of his successors in Office
who desire to enforce official prob
ity and to preserve the public morals.
If there is any department of our
state government in which sobriety is ex-
pected and essentially demanded it is in the
management Of the public schools. Our
school system is invested with a sort of
sacrednesS in the public mind and the idea
of a drunkard being placed and continued in
control OF it is as abhorTent to American SEN
timent as that drunkenness should be found
in the pulpit. True it is that drunkenness
is 4 vice which may be condOned. 1t is
more often an evidence OF the frailtv of
poor weak humanity than it is of any vi
cious element in the human character. At
the same time, whether it be a vice
or a weakness, it is something that
can not be endured in public station and
more particularly in an Office which is
brought into such close relations with the
education of our children. The law of
self-preservation is paramount to written
statutes, and there can be no higher asser-
ton of the hottest principle embodied i'm
that law than to shield our offspring from the
vicious influences of a bad example. So
whatever orr individual opinions may be on
the subject of temperance and intemperance
there is not parent in the whole
state of Minnesota but will thank
Gov. HUBBARD for the exhibition of
moral courage he has displayed in this
matter, and will applaud the noble senti-
ments expressed in the decision. the text of
which is published in this mornings GLOBE.
He has made precedent which will stand
because it is sustained by healthy public
sentiment. Now that the axe has been laid
at the root of the tree, let the executive
pruning go on until all drunken and in
efficient officials are deposed.

A DANGEROUS SORE.

An exchange sensibly remarks that while
the crushed strawberry vase sold at the
MORGAN art sale was a little bit of a
thing, still it was large enough to hold the
brains of any person who is fool enough to
give SIS, 900 for it. 1t is just this Oriental
sort of extravaganza in paying such vast
sums of money for fancy articles that excites
an apprehension in the minds of some peo-
pie that our nation has reached
that point where the symptoms of decay
begin to develope just as they did
IN the once powerful nations of the Orient.
The fact that now and then few persons
with more money than brains make a ri
llculous exhibition of extravaganza. does
not indicate that all the people of the
country are afflicted with the same degree
Of recklessness. But it does give cause for
that restless feeling which is produced by
the inequalities of wealth i'm this country-
feeling that is too rapidly developing
into a species of socialism that f rebodes
disaster. The paintings and the bric-a-
Drac at the MORGAN art sale brought over
1 million of dollars. And yet all these
magnificent things were the property of a
woman who started life in the lower walks

IF which she afterwards became. At the
MORGAN sale there were 1,70O plates sold
which brought, on an average, S22 a plate
What one private family could want with

Amanitoba Extension.

Engineers in the employ of the st. Paul
& Manitoba road. who have been out locat-
ng line from Elk River to point on the
Hinckly branch, near Milacca, have nearly
completed the survey and report 50 favor
ably that work will be commenced at the
opening Of spring. This extension is in
tended as cutoff and nearer line to Du-
luth from ST. Paul and Minneapolis for the
Manitoba line, should it at any time extend
its Hinckley branch to West Superior, as
has been talked of. The length of this cut
of is about thirty-five miles and makes a
triangle with st. Cloud, Milacca and Elk
River. The route will be by way of Prince
ton. and should the Manitoba never extend
to Duluth it will serve it well as feeder
The cutoff will pass through rich terri
tory, very fertile and capable of making a
good return to the agricultuTist. 1t will
cost about $4,000 or so, 600 per mile to
build the road.

resorted to the same tactics. They broke

selves. Gamble and Carruth skated against

opening of considerable distance was made.

the average throughout the six days was very
low. For short time Friday the water in

as low. Notwithstanding that the mills were
greatly handicapped by this. they made an
average output of nearly $4,000 barrels daily
