A Novel Schenae.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23.-Col. Flad, presi-
dent Of the board of public improvements
of this city, suggests new and somewhat
novel solution Of the telegraph and tele-
phone wire troubles in cities. Col. FladS
plan calls for iron towers 100 to $50 feet in
height at each second street intersection.
the towers to consist of four wrought iron
columns, the base of each being planted at
the corner of the sidewalks. these columns
coming to common center in the middle
of the street. TO furnish resting place for
all telegraph. telephone and electric light
wires. Col. Thad argues that this system
would abate the wire nuisance as it at pres
eht exists. and much more eheaply than it
could be accomplished by placing wires
under ground. His plan also embraces
provisions for electric lamps OH the towers
for street lighting purposes, and provides
wires by which to operate street cars on
the Siemans principle, as employed in
Berlin.

particularly, in view OF the penetrating
thilliness of its winter climate. should find

worthy model. Her people have clamOred
Ong and in vain for better street car serv-
ice in winter. for something approaching
comfort. but have had their requests con-
,inually disregarded. If they can induce
the Chicago managers to learn something
from the st. Paul company they will do
well. st. Paul is getting rather accustomed

will be happy TO 0blige her at any time in
the future as she has done IN the past.

THE DIPLOMATIC BILL.

The consular and diplomatic bill, as re-
ported to the house from the committee
having 1t in charge, provides for substan-
tial increase in the salaries attaching to a
number of diplomatic positions. The in
crease is one which can well be Afforded,
and the granting of which is eminently
proper. There may even be question
whether the diplomatic service is really
worth its salt or not, and many thoroughly
welI-informed public men incline to be-
ieve that it is not, but that is not the point
to be considered. If we are to maintain
representation abroad at all, it should be
done in manner to reflect credit upon the
government and not in the niggardly way
which seems to be the case at many of the
American legations. This is rich
nation, and if it is going to put
IN style it should not be con-
cent simply with an imitation. But
It is by no means certain that it would not

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.


THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The more the proposed plan for reOrgan-
izing the Chamber of Commerce is dis
cusSed, the more thoroughly is the public
mind impressed with the necessity for retain
ing the existing popular features of that
organization, and the more averse do our
people become to any change that will
| imperil the chambers usefulness by sep
aratng it from popular sympathy and sup
| port. The Chamber of Commerce occupies
about the same relation TO the whole city
| that the several unions do to their respective
localities The design of the organization
is to afford an opportunity for crystalizing
public sentiment on all questions affecting
the city's welfare. In view of this fact it
would be fatal to the purposes of its
organization to establish the chamber on
any basis that would divest it of its
popular features. 1t would be a great
mistake to reorganize it on a plan that
would make close corporation of it and
would only admit to its membership the
representatives of a moneyed ariStOcracy.
The very moment that the attempt was
made to convert the Chamber of Commerce
into an aristoeratc club, that very moment
would its usefulness cease. The masses of
the people would have no respect for the
opinions of a corporate body owned and
operated by lot of spectators who would
direct its movements solely in the interest
of the particular syndlcates to which the
members belonged, or in promoting the sue
cess of the specializing schemes in which
they were interested. AS at present con-
stituted, the Chamber of Commerce
eXerts a beneficial influence, because
its opinions are respected, because
they are known to be the crystalized senti-
ment of the business and industrial classes.
If there is to be reformation of its organ
izatiOn. it ought to extend in the opposite
direction from the one now proposed. In
stead of being made more seclusive. it ought
| to be more pOpularized. Every property
holder and business man in the city ought
to feel that he has direct interest IN the
body and his active support should be en-
listed. The meetings are held with open
doors and every citizen who becomes a
member has a right to participate in the dis
| cussons and has a voice in the election of
directory. Established on the existing
popular plan, the Chamber of Commerce
has grown to be body of so much public
| importance and has attained degree of so
much general utility. that the business and
industrial classes of st. Paul cannot afford to
be indifferent 10 its success. Instead of
standing back and waiting to be personally
solicited to become a member of the organ
ization. every citizen who has the municipal
welfare at heart should voluntarily and
cheerfully go forward and enroll himself as
] a member.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.

The outline furnished in our Washington
dispatches of the reasons which actuate
the president in refusing to appoint Maj.
MARTIN MAGINNIs Governor of Montana
probably comes as near the actual truth in
the matter as all unauthorized statement
could be. Viewing the case from the pres
idential standpoint. the reasons for the
non-app9intment of MA6INNIs were doubt
less sufficient. though a great many Mon
tanians would be inclined to criticise his
objections as ill-founded, but if the Obsta-
Giles standing in the way of that particular
person could not have been overcome, it
would seem that in a territory containing
50 many able men some one might have been
discovered against whom the same objec-
ton could not be urged. and who in every
way would have served creditably as Mon
tomas governor. The people OF the great
territory had every right to expect their
governor to be chosen from among them
selves. and would have been perfectly
reconciled to the presidents objection to
Maj. MAGINNIs had some other Montanian
been chosen.

Frazier. bound and gagged him. and taking
him with them they proceeded to the court
house, broke window in the office of the
county treasurer and entering. placed the
helpless marshal in corner and flung a
heavy overcoat over him. They then at

$50 900. Three attempts were made in
succession. and after three hours of fruit
less work they noticed lights beginning to
appear in the windows of houses near by.
One of the burglars remarked to his com
panions that they must be getting out of

tily leaving the building with their trouble
only for their pains. they helped themselves
to two horses and vehicles belonging to DR..

rapidly westward past the depot. Marshal
Frazier succeeded in arousing Sheriff Deal

tuted but so far without result.

HANG UP THE STOCKINGS.

1 How many eagerly eXpectant youngsters
have been looking forward for weeks to the
hight which is to them the most important

(which there will not be rosy dreams
tonight of what tomorrow Will bring
forth in the way of delightful
surprises. And sorry the home in
which the merry prattle of little ones
is not heard. But eager dreamers
will be obliged to waken to the better re-
alization that their joy in new-found treas
ures was but fancy. too sweet to be true.
Others more favored by fortune will waken
to find their glowing dreams more than full
filed. every wish complied with and every
desire anticipated. Cannot the parents of
such children do something to bring little
Joy of Christmas time into the homes of the
little dreamers who may otherwise find i'll
Christmas, the greatest festal day of the
year. nothing but a name? There are in
st. Paul numerous homes which could be
illumined with the light of Christian
charity tomorrow. in which children
who would otherwise be sOrrowfuI
might be gladdened and the load of care
weighing down the hearts of many parents
partly lifted. There are people enough in
the city with means and inclination to
show practical sympathy for the unfor-
tunate, the needy and the helpless, if they
will but take the opportunity. Will it be
done? No one should be forgotten to-
morrow.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-Another case
in which the president exercises executive
clemency is that of Robert D. Morehead, OF
Western Pennsylvania, convicted of a vio-
latiOn of the postal laws and sentenced to
two years Imprisonment. HIS pardon will
take effect Feb. 20 1887, by which date he
will have served one half OF his term. The
president has declined to interfere in the
case of James o. P. Burnside. charged
with defrauding the government while hold
ing the position of dsbursing clerk of the
postoffice department. Before his trial
Burnside was adiudged insane, and has
since been confined in the government
asylum for the insane. His friends ask his
discharge from the asylum. and promise to
take care Of him. The president refused
their petition on the ground that if Burn
side is still insane he is better off where he
is, and if he is not insane he had better be
remanded to jail for trial.

by Land Commissioner SPARKS, and the
reputation of that official for giving unprec-
edented decisions only adds to the uneasi-
ness that prevails in Chicago respecting
this matter. Land titles in Chicago are in
an unsatisfactory condition at best. The
records of Cook county were destroyed by
the great fire in 1871, and consequently
land titles cannot be traced back to very
ancient date. The possibilities Of the land
grabber becoming possessor of the 80 acres
of Chicago soil that he claims are not great
as the lapse of time cures a multitude of
defective titles. But in the event he should
succeed, st. Paul extends generous offer
to the people of afflicted Chicago to move
up bag and baggage, and make their homes
with us, where land titles are good and
land-grabbers cannot break through and
steal onr homes from us.

A Big Land lain.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.-J. K. Redirg-
ton, as attorney for Lester A. Bartlett, of
Washington, to-day made application to
Commissioner Sparks, of the general land
office. as ex-officiO register and receiver for
the state OF Illinois. to locate. with Gerard
scrip. about ninety acres of land in the
city OF Chicago lying OIL the lake, south of
the Chicago river, being the land covered
by what is known as the Talcott survey in
section 10, also ali the land between that
survey and the lake in section 10. as well
as all the lands lying between Wabash and
Michigan avenues, and Washington and
Madison streets. In explanation Mr. Red
ington to-day said, that the Gerard scrip.
filed as part of the application with Com
missioner Sharks, was issued originally in
payment of services rendered by one
Stephen Gerard to President Washington,
in opening communication with the hostile
Indians in the then Northwest territory.
and as appears upon its face, is locatable
upon any public lands of the United States.
1t is claimed that these lands belong to the
United States, and are. therefore, subject
to entry with this scrip. The commissioner
received the application and scrip and holds
the matter of the allowance or rejection Of
the location under adyisement. Argument
in support of the application will shortly be
heard. 1t is represented that the land in
cOntrOVerSary is worth Sl5. 900. 600.

stead. Pa, special says: Six tons of
molten steel exploded at Carnegie's steel
works at this place yesterday, seriously in
juring four employees named John Kelly,
Henry Hall. George Wilson and James
Barrett. The ladle containing the molten
metal was being swung from the smelling
furnace to the ingot mould, when the crane
broke and the ladle dropped. The metal
poured into the pit below and the explosion
followed, scattering fragments over the
mill. All the workmen escaped but the
four mentioned. They were unable to get
out and were terribly burned, but are ex-
pected to recover.
