STREET SAYINGS.

81 reckon" said the street corner philoso-
pher yesterday. II reckon that st. Paul
will have more base ball clubs next summer
than you can shake a stick at. You see
about every man in the city has got a to-
bOggan uniform and they can't possibly let
them lie around all summer, so they will
put on an undershirt and their knee breeches
and organize ball clubs just for the sake Of
getting a chance to appear in uniform.
What the ladies will do is still question"
''Some effort ought to be made" said a
citizen yesterday. ITO keep the ice OF the
sidewalk, especially on Third street between
Wabasha and Sibley. There are places on
people are almost unable to stand on them.
and there's hardly an hour in the day that
some unwary pedestrian doesn't pound the
sidewalk with the back of his head"
So
Neither Chief Black nor Capt. Bresette
has made any complaint to me regarding
the trouble last Friday night" said Mayor
Rice yesterday. ''Of course ] heard Of IL
and if what l hear Is true. think the
driver of the sleigh must have been very
much excited. and he should have been
stopped. / can't see where any blame
can be attached to either Chief Black or
Capt Bresette."

p. II. Kelly was found In his office yes
terday afternoon buried in business. He
said he didn't know why Campbelrs ap-
pOintment had been deferred. He said
Truesdelrs story from Washington that
Campbell was being strongly opposed by
Gen. Sibley. Commodore Kittson, and
Eugene Wilson, was fabrication, as all
the gentlemen mentioned were strongly In
favor of Campbell.
So
81 cannot conceive" said Hon. Z. w.
Durant yesterday. ''why the necessary steps
in the appointment of Mr.. Campbell to the
marshalship have not been taken. 1t seems
hardly possible that there could be any sec
ton of the Democratic party that would
throw itself against him. even If IL were
disposed to find fault with any of the APP
pointments that are favored by Mr.. Kelly.
Mr.. Campbell has stood in with no ring OF
clique. but is a man the entire party would
support, and the place has seemed to come
to him, sy far, without any scheming
on his part. As / understand it. Mr..
Denny was to be retained until the expira-
ton of his term as favor granted to Sena-
tor Mcmillan, but it seems strange to me
that Mr.. Campbell has not by this time
secured his papers.
-
It has leaked out that the health depart
ment has under consideration the arrest OF
several prominent physicians and as many
heads of families for failing to report to
the department as required by law. the ex-
istence of a number of cases of scarlet fever.
The matter is now being investigated by
the health department and it is intiinated
by those who know that sensation will be
produced when action is taken.

FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
How the VI Honey Can be Had.-Build-
ings Needed.

In relation to the resolution passed Mon
day evening by the school board. ''that no
more school buildings would be constructed
until there is money in the treasury for that
purpose" Comptroller Roche was seen and
expressed an opinion that the only way out
of the dilemma was for the board to pro-
coed and erect what buildings are REQUIRED
and make the repairs necessary. They must
then depend on the incoming council to
make tax levy next fall sufficient to nav
for these improvements. Mr.. Roche figures
the tax levy at 81, 600, 600, and levy of
mill would give the required amount of
$4,000. This levy would be made in
September and paid in the spring of 1887,
but the continued growth of the city will
undoubtedly require more school room in
1887 and the school board would again be
in the same fix. He said that the legislature
last year authorized the issuance of $780, =
600 worth of bonds for school purposes and
that, with $4,000 received from the tax
levy. was consumed in supplying the needs

NoRTHwEsTERN MUTATIONS.

Hon. Z. w. Durant of Saltwater. in st.
Paul yesterday, said that the lumber cut in
camps on the st. Croix would not be as
heavy as even the estimates that had been
revised when the warm weather and lack
of snow in December and January had been
taken into the account 1T is hard 10 get
very good idea of how much lumber will
be cut" said he. ''Our CAMPS have re-
ported good hauling for the past week or
two, and operations are in full blast ex-
pect it is so in other camps. For myself. /
believe the cut will be comparatively light.
The warm weather of the early part of the
winter interfered considerably with the
logging operations, and. as 1 said, this
caused a scaling down of the estimates
probably million or two"

of Che Spirit II JcBlrs0n report of The pro-
ceediug~ # the iate Senatorial Convention
81, Nariu>burg gotten up by Mr. Geo f..
Light, one of the secretaries. In which find
language interpolatod that reflects upon the
fairness OF the conduct of those who Oppos
cd Che nomination OF Capt. >tuder. ask
% small space IN your paper to explain the
position occupied by myself and those act
iug with me IL that convention; My posi-
ton was that Berkeley county was and is
entitled TO the nomination for the simple
reason that since the adoption of our pres
ent constitution in 1872, when the right to
vote was for the first time accorded to Dem
ocrats without restriction, Jefferson county
has been honored with four nominations for
the Senate by four several Senatorial Dem
Ocratic Conventions and at this very time
has Mr. Melvin representing the county in
the Senate while Berkeley has had but two
Democratic nominations. Is not this true
And if true is not Berkeley county fairly
and justly entitled to the nomination? Be
lieving this to be so, and believing further,
that if her right to the nomination should
be denied that it would create such wide
spread dissatisfaction among the Democrats
of Berkeley county rs to endanger at least
the election of Capt. S,rider, njure and
lessen the vote of VIM. l.. Wilson and make
a breach in our party that might never be
healed, | struggled in the convention to Sc
cure the nomination of Berkeley man.
And now, after the excitement of the mo-
ment has subsidized, Sc no reason to regret
the course pursued in the convention, and
two years hence, when Jefferson will be
clearly entitled to the nomination, | If
alive will be as earnest in battling for her
rights as | was in trying to secure to Berke-
ley the nomination. The Democrats of
Morgan county believed then and believe
now that Berkeley county was and is ent-
tied to the nomination and | was but repre-
seutng their views. We had no objection
to Capt Strider-on the contrary we would
love TO vote for him and would have cheer
fully supported him if he had been nominal
ted. But we did not believe then nor do we
now believe that his county was entitled to
the nomination and | will add that we hold
the principles and ascendancy of the Dem
ocratic party rs far above the personal in
terests of any individual whether he be
