Needless as she generally is of con-
ventionalities. Chicago has developed a
moral streak. More properly speaking,
her official representative, Mayor
ROCHE, has developed it for her. For
some time his honor has been glancing
obviously at the theatrical posters which
have adorned Chicago dead walls.
Finally a burleSque troupe came TO
town, and the character of the pictorial
printing it displayed, consisting princi-
pally of representations of the female
form divine, clad in more or less abbre-
waited garments, offended the great and
good mayors propriety beyond the point
of endurance.
He has therefore given orders that
whenever in the judgment of the police
theatrical posters reach the point where
they might reasonably be expected to
cause the blush of shame to mantle the
Chicago cheek. the offensive pictures
must forthwith be removed. AL
though there will not be want
ing those who will affirm that
the condition imposed by Mayor ROCHE
regarding the modest SuffuSlOn of Chi
cagO's cheek will never be present be-
fore the coming of the millennium, yet
we are constrained to believe that in is
suing his order the mayor will cause
more harm than good. The public has
become so accustomed to seeing fiaring
theatrical posters that it now views
them with Indifference.
The mayors order, however, will
simply serve to call attention to those
permitted to remain and others more
demOraliZing in their influence which
the police may eventually remove. So
far us public morality is concerned, there
would have been greater gain in say
ing nothing, and Mayor ROCHE might
better have expended his energy in
stamping out the gambling dens which,
despite the law and the police, continue
TO flourish in the Garden City. If, how
ever, the order shall result in causing
theatrical companies to abandon posters
as a means of advertising in favor of
the proper vehicle for disseminating
infOrmation-the press-they will find
that i'll the long run they will be decid-
edly better Off for its stringent enforce
ment.
But if he is starting out with the idea
that he can make Chicago a moral city
by official order, Mayor ROCHE would
better give up the ghost at the begin
ming of his hopeless task.

THE TOBACCO ISSUE.

Col. ROBERT BEVERLY the chief
mogul of the Farmers National asso-
citation, backs up Mr.. BLAINE in the
assertion that tobacco is a necessity.
He even goes further than Mr.. BLAINE
by affirming that it is not only Il neces-
sity for men, but for women also. MI.
BLAINE is from Maine and Col. BEv-
ERLY is from Virginia, and it is rather
a singular fact to see the North and the
South coming together on this nom
sectional platform and forcing the
tobacco issue SO prominently into
national politics. Ii it is true that
tobacco is necessity, how blindly the
world has been cropping in ignorance
of great truth for the last 5000 years.
And if its truthfulness is established.
what a revolution is going to take place
in our domestic affairs. If tobacco is as
much necessity for women as for men,
then every woman in the land will have
to take to using the weed. The man

UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.

The prompt action of the government
authorities in taking measures to pre-
vent the landing in California of liberia
ted convicts, now on the way to this
country from New Caledonia, can not be
too highly commended. For many years
foreign nations have been in the habit
of making America refuse heap upon
which to deposit their human trash,
and it is high time the practice was
brought to an end.
Of late much has been done toward
putting stop to it,and the various ports
of entry are being vigilantly guarded.
Pauper and criminal immigrants are be-
ing turned back now almost every day at
New York, at which point they were
hitherto enabled to land freely and the
general attitude of the government is
one of stern refusal to he made con
venience of by other nations.
Increased facilities have been accord
ed to honest immigrants, but the vicious,
depraved and pauperiZed have been
more effectually barred out than ever
before, and the people will do well to
remember that this desirable state of
| affairs has been brought about by a
| Democratic admin iStratiOn.

BURNED THIS MORNING.

The Northwestern Chronicle and
BOeringer IL Sons Visited by
Fire.
Special Officer Fisher, of the Mer-
chants police, discovered smoke pour
ing from the rear windows of the sec
one story of the stone building at No. ST
East Third street at half past 2 o'clock
this morning. An alarm was turned
in from Box %, corner of Third and
Minnesota streets, by Officer Melon
ough, and Officers Godfrey and Fisher
attempted to enter the building by the
front stairway, but were driven back
by the smoke.
The fire had spread throughout the
second story occupied as stOre-rOOm
and workshop by p. Boeringer S
Sons, opticians and dealers in draw
ing utensils, and had eaten its way
through the ceiling TO the Office of the
Northwestern Chronicle, on the floor
above, when the department arrived.
The firemen experienced difficulty in en-
tering the building on account
of the smoke, but after q
half hours hard fighting, the
flames were Subdued. The loss of the
stock of Boeringer & Sons, which is
mostly from smoke and water, will he
in the neighborhoOd of $1,000, and the
damage to the Northwestern Chronicle
office about $1,000. The damage to the
building which is owned by the Catho-
lie society, will probably be less than
81, 500.

THE OLEoMARGARINE TAX

For some ineXplicable reason the COM
missioner of internal revenue seems
disposed to side with the oleomargarine
manufacturers. His objection to the
government tax on oleomargarine is os-
tensibly based on the ground that the
revenue derived from that source is not
needed, while probably the fact is the
commissioner does not care to be both
cred with the collection of it. 1t is true
that the revenue derived from the oleo-
margarine tax is not needed. And the
same is true of the tax OH great many
articles. 1t was not for the sake OF
the revenue that the government
imposed the tax on oleomarga-
rine, but it has to protect

been sent to all the temples of the MyS-
tic Shrine throughout the United States,
inviting them TO be present or send rep
reSentatives to the Carnival session that
we will hold in this city the 3lst inst.
Although our shrine is but two years
old, we want to give st. Paul a boom in
every possible way, and especially since
the leading men of Minnesota are con-
nected with us. King BOrealis, or Sena-
tor DURANT, is one of our members, and
will be present with his Arabian cohorts
at our festive board. In the body of the
invitation it is stated that 'the hours
will smile and Justice raise her scales in
JOY; and verify the waters of Plushau-
sen shall flow
Among the features of the session
will be a grand banquet in honor of the
visiting mobiles, many of whom residing
at Washington, Philadelphia. New
York, Boston, PittSburg and other
Eastern cities have signified their in
tentiOn of being present with us on this
festive occasion. From Chicago the
temple at that place will come in a
special train of Pullman cars, and they
will sleep i'll the coaches during the
the purpose of the projectors of this
affair to make it notable one, for
never before in the history of our order
has there been such general invitation
extended by subordinate temple.
We want our guests to witness not only
the Carnival and masquerade of the
31St inst, but to remain for the second
storming of the ice palace, Feb. 2, and
we will endeayOr to take good care OF

Minnesota rouse from its state of
sOmnolency and commence active
work in crusade against the
opponents of the presidents tar
if policy. The pr0tectionists are
preparing to flood the state with litera-
ture of their own selection. 1t would
seem to be highly appropriate to meet
them halfway. The work of the state
free trade club has been confined,
understand, TO semi-occasiOnal Quaker
meetings at the state capitol. The pres
ident's message ought to act as an cleo
trio battery upon the club, and lead to
vigorous work this spring and summer.
l find among the farmers great de-
mand for reading matter illustrating
and comparing the systems of high pro-
lection and free trade. The state press
fails to meet their wants, through pub
fishing generalities only or nothing at
all. Cannot Mr.. GORDON K. COLE awake
the free trade club ? Or is he still bal
ancing between Blaine and tariff re-
duction?
Some currency has been given to the
statement that the cigar manufacturers
of this state look with favor upon the
proposition to remove the internal rev.
enue tax imposed upon them. There
are about 10 manufactures in the state,
and last year they made 50, OOO, 600 cigars,
to say nothing of the tobacco in other
forms handled. They are generally
opposed to any interference with this
tax, claiming that it affords them pro-
lection not Obtainable in any other
way. Many of them assert that the re-
mOval of the tax would not diminish
the price of tobacco sufficiently to make
it material benefit to the consumer.
They seem to think that the tax and
revenue restrictions thrown about the
trade are of more benefit to the manu-
regulation could possibly be. i do not
find all of them asserting this, but the
majority do, and their opinion generally
counts.

COOKING SCHOOLS.

1t is observed that in various Eastern
cities instruction in cooking has been
established as part of the common
school system; and in at least one city,
Pittsburg, night cooking schools have
been started. In favor of these schools
strong arguments can be alleged All
that has been said in favor of manual
training for male students in public
schools can be reiterated and should be
as readily admitted with regard to cook
ing schools for feminine students.
1t must be admitted in the beginning
that knowledge of the art culinary is
highly desirable on the part of every
young woman, whether the necessity ex-
lists for the practical utilization of such
knowledge or not. With most girls that
necessity will exist. 1t is obviously
difficult to obtain that instruction at
home, even if facilities for giving it ex-
ist there, if at the same time school
duties are to be attended to. A COM
bination of the two, if practIcable-and
it can easily be made So-Seems to pre-
sent the only satisfactory solution of the
difficulty.
The half hour devoted daily to learn.
ing something from trained cooks about
the practical side of her future life can
not fail to be of the greatest benefit, not
alone to the young woman who avails
herself of the opportunity presented
but also to the country generally, which
by the more general diffusion of accu
rate culinary knowledge and skill, may
reasonably hope to escape in greater
degree than the present generation tina,

means let us have the cooking schools

and his cigar will have to abdicate in
favor of the woman and her cigarette.
The husband will no longer enjoy the
monopoly of filling the house with
the fumes of burning tobacco. The
heretofore tabOoed cuspidOr will be-
come an object of female venera-
ton. If it is once established
that tobacco is necessity for
women you can rely on it the
women are going to assert their right to
a full share of the benefits which come
from its use. And they ought to. But
for all that, it is going to be tough job
for BLAINE and BEVERLY to be elected
on the tobacco issue if the women have
any say in the election. Tobacco may
be necessity for women, but it is
going to take long time to convince
the women that the use of tobacco is not
a nasty habit.

finished i'll most of our commercial
houses, and the results have been more
satisfactory than the most sanguine had
ever dreamed. Take this month, for in
stance, as far as it has gone. Should the
business continue as it has started, it
will be the most successful year in the
history of st. Paul, for from all trades it
is reported that there is an increase of
fully so per cent on corresponding
period last year. The fact that dealers
are able to carry such large stock is
also source of qualification and of fut-
ure promise for various interests.
Thousands of boxes Of raisins have been
sent from the Pacific slope this season,
and the crop is pretty we'll contracted
for up to next September, while in
cereals it is hardly necessary to again
call attention to the splendid wheat
yield of the Northwest. Undoubtedly
our present prosperity is largely attrib-
utable to this cause, for besides supply
ing all immediate demands, the ele-
vatOrs are filed to their utmost capacity.

A FOregone Conclusion.

Lake Crystal Union.
The Free Press says "Gov. McGill has
made enemies since he was inaugu-
rated" just so, and those enemies are
just the men who elected him, and don't
you forget it. Those whom he has taken
to his bosom are the ones who worked
like nailerS to defeat him. 1t does not
take half an eye to see who is the
strongest, and how the governor will
fare at the next election. The st. Paul
friends of Gov. McGill may write clam
deStine communications to the st. Paul
papers as often as they like, and tell the
people that McGill is going to be his
own successor, that he has made all ex-
cellent governor, and that the sun rises
and sets on top of his head, but the peo-
pie are through with him. This is
fOregone conclusion. Those gushy COM
municatiOns published in the st. Paul
papers are written by persons holding
office at the state capitol, and are the
result of the handwriting seen upon the
wall.

the import duties on sugar, coal, salt
and other articles nearest approaching

The human tendency to exaggerate is
very well illustrated by the numerous
MUNCHAUSEN storm stories that are
floating around over the country. He
is very poor story teller nowadays
why hasn't stock of blizzard yarns.
You can meet the man who was in the
blizzard and had marvellous escape at
every street corner and in every hotel

many times that he is ready to swear to
its truthfulneSS.

Among the many blizzard your retail
ers not one gets in his work more
neatly than Judge KINNEY, of the
YanktOn Sioux agency. In addition to
telling the people of Nebraska City of
his own hairbreadth escape from being
used up by the late blizzard, he affirmS
that the loss of life throughout Dakota
alone would figure up over 1000. If
this were fish story the judges esti-
mate would pass muster. But it isn't.
JUDGE KINNEY'S blizzard story re-
lieYeS the newspapers Of the suspicion
of exaggeration. The highest newspa-
per estimate on the loss of life did not
exceed 800. AS a matter of fact, the
below the actual figures, for in several
instances the names of persons were
duplicated in the list of blizzard casual
ties. But so active were the correspond
ents in working up every case where
there is probability of loss of life,we
venture to say that there are not five
persons who persisted in the late storms
whose deaths have not been reported
The Judges insinuatiOn that the news
papers were trying to cover up the
losses is boSh These are days when
newspapers hunt for news and are not
avoiding it.

FATHER TIME.
Above the world 1 sit and sail,

Above the world sit and sail,
Moving on, moving on;
The things pass no more avail.
They hide their years, decay and fail,
While l keep moving on.
Down on the world look and smile,
Moving on, moving on;
The scythe bear smites all the while,
Cuts as it may for good or guile,
While keep moving on.
Over the world glance my eye,
Moving on, moving on;
Good deeds mature, the hopeful try,
The just alone shall never die
While l keep moving on.
Around the world I sit and roll,
Moving on, moving on;
Ripening fruits for sacred goal,
Perfecting hopes of the dying soul,
While keep moving ON.
Beside the world sit and hear,
Moving on, moving on;
Sounds of joy or sadness drear,
Filling the splice around the sphere,
While keep moving on.
Above, around all worlds ride,
Moving on, moving on;
Watching IN all the swelling tide
of human love and human pride,
While keep moving on.
When stars go out and worlds stan d still,
Alone I'm moving on;
Obeying Gods eternal will,
cease not when all else is still,
But yet keep moving Oh.
Thus time rolls on,
Ever on and on,
Above the earth and DER the sea,
Mid lightning's flash,
And thunder's crash,
Moving toward eternity.

for One-quarter never knows what the
other three-quarters is doing. How
could it when less than the one-quarter
is doing all of the advertising of itself.
One-Quarter is telling its methods, its
wishes, Its aims and its hopes, while the
rest of the world is saying nothing.
One-quarter is asking for reciprocity,
while the remainder is liStleSSly wonder
ing what it all means. Far less than
the One-quarter is scattering newspapers
like snow flakes to carry the message of
what it has to sell or to buy, to barter or
to trade; to suggest want to the minds
of the rest who read; but the great re-
mainder, with its needs crOwding upon
it daily. more than it can speak-with
wants that it wonders vaguely how it
can satisfy-with both wants and needs

Why do you hustle down stairs every

fails far short Of its mission. The paper
is the medium of communication be-

plies. If it tells you merely of the in
cidents and accidents, the crimes and
casualties, the joys and the sorrows of
life, it has not done all. 1t must carry
