For the first time in twenty years a
common council majority of the MEM
bers of which are Republican met at
the council chamber last night and after
organization proceeded to dispatch the
city's business. Only six of the old
members, Cullen, Conley, Hamm,
Minea, Sanborn and Weber, occu-
pied seats. The roll call list pre-
pared by Clerk Prendergast reads
Bickel, Blom, Book, Cullen,
Conley, Fischer. Gehan, Hamm, KAY

Pratt, Sanborn, Sullivan, Weber,

Sullivan, Fischer, Weber, Sanborn and
Pratt. Facing the chairman, on the
south side of the room, are Cullen,
Book and Conley to the left of the aisle,
and Kavanagh. Blom and Hamm to the
right of the aisle. On the east side of
the room are LeithauSer. Minea, Melady,
Yoerg and Gehan.
Clerk PrendergaSt called the meeting
to order and announced that the first

pOrary chairman. Yoerg nominated
Weber, and he was elected without OPP

were called for. Sullivan pre-
scented Noah Sinks, Minea n0mi-
mated John Maher, and Cullen NOM
mated F. W. Zertler. Sinks was elected
on the first ballot, the vote standing:
Sinks, 10; Maher, 6; Zertler, 4. For
jailer at police headquarters Leithauser
nominated Joe Spiel. the present in
cumbent, and his election was made
unanimous on motion of Sanborn. ''The
secretary will please call the ROLL" said
the president, and Lightning Prender-
grast had the result announced before
the aldermen knew what was going on.
Vice President SanDorn was then called
to the chair. and the mayors message
was read. Each section was referred to
the committee it concerned. Very
little other business was considered.
Col. Barr, for the st. Paul City Rail-
way company, sent in communica-
ton stating that financierS in the East
who were expected to purchase cable
line securities objected to the ordinance
requiring fare of 3 cents in the morn
ing, and that work could not be begun
OH the new East Seventh street cable line
unless the ordinance was repealed. The
communication was referred to the
committee on streets.
Vice President Sanborn stated to the
council that the rules required the COM
mittee on streets to consist of one MEM
Der from each ward. Under the new
division he thought this would be too
large committee, and suggested that
the rules would have to be revised.
Aid. Hamm moved the appointment of
a committee to revise the rules, and the
chair named Hamm, Pratt and Sullivan.
The meeting then adjourned, and the
Republican members went around the
corner and said ''Gesundheit' with Joe
Sniel. .----.--

eous manner in which they have dis
charged the duties of their several of
fees were presented and unanimously
adopted. President Kerr's remarks, in
replying to the compliment, were very
appropriate. He said that he had rec
ogniZed that it was a somewhat unusual
thing that he should have been elected
president of the council, and he had APP
preciated it as a very high honor. Dur
ing his entire service in the council, he
said. there had never been any misun-

himself and any other. member. He
concluded: SIN leaving you do it with
a remembrance that will last ME
through life of the kindness which has
uniformly characterized our associa-
tons in this council" Vice President
Dowlan and Clerk Prendergast replied
more briefly.
Aid. Dick O'Connor then made about
the longest speech since he has been a
member. He said: Mr.. President, 1

SOME GOOD MEN GONE.
The Old Council Closes Up Busi

The Old Council Closes Up Bust
ness and Ad.journs Sine Die.
The old council met at O'clock yes
terday afternoon, and wound up its
business. All the members were pres
ent except Aid. Petsch. The most i'm
portant measures before the meeting
was the franchise ordinance of the Ma
tional Subway company, and an ordi-
nance to grant the Northern Pacific rail
road right of way through the alleys in
blocks IS to 81, Kittson's addition. The
subway company ordinance had been
drawn by City Attorney Murray and
City Engineer Rundlett. 1t grants to
the National Subway company the right
to lay underground conduitS for electric
wires on all streets south of Pleasant
avenue, east of West Third street, south
of Summit avenue, between Third and
Rice streets, and east of Rice street. The
franchise runs twenty years, but is not
exclusive, and the company is to
execute an indemnity bond of $4,000.
The rules were suspended and the or
dinance passed by vote of II to 8,
Aid. Ryan, Long and President Kerr
voting in the negative. Aid. Sanborn
raised the point that it required twelve
votes to grant any right to the use of
the streets, but City Attorney Murray
held that ten was enough.
A protest against the passage of the
franchise giving the Northern Pacific
road right of way through the alleys
named was presented, and Aid. Cullen
moved that the DIRECTORS, among whom
were A. q. Long and George Benz, be
given hearing on the floor. Aid Ken
ny objected on the ground that the
matter had been thoroughly discussed
before the committee on streets, which
had found i'll favor of granting the
franchise, and the protestants were
Shut out. The ordinance was then put
upon its final passage and adopted by
vote of 13 to Aid. Cullen voting no.
A number of reports from the board
OF public works were confirmed and
several new improvements ordered.
All claims audited by the comptroller
were allowed, and a bill of 1857 SO pre-
sented by the health department for
expenses in quarantining

streets. A petition from hucksterS ask
ing that the. license for selling at the
market house be reduced to S25 was
sent to the committee on markets. On
motion of Aid. SanbOrn the minutes of
the meeting held May II were amended
to keep alive certain petition from
Charles Lienau, Paul Martin, and
Others, asking for the vacation of those
public grounds between the west line of

street. and the east line of block "A,

Rev. S. G.. Anderson, the moderator,
read the scripture and prayer. Rev.

higher rate should be charged on this
occasion.

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

Force and Union of City and
County Government. 4

He Recommends a T. arger Police
Force and Union of City and
County Government. 4
In the opening portion of his address
the mayor said that the growth in popu-
lation during the past two or three
years, the marked increase in manufac-
turing and Industrial interests, the ex-i
tension of commerce, and expansion of
all the elements of wealth and power,
have been of such remarkable char
acter as to neceSsitate very large eX-!
penditure of public funds to keep pace
with the wonderful growth. School
houses to accommodate the large III
crease of children, engine houses, sta
ton houses, extension of water works,
and thousand kindred improvements
which make up the appendages Ola
great city in the short time alluded to.
Notwithstanding the vast sums of
money expended in public improve
ments of various kinds, it is my honest
conviction that not one dollar has been
embezzled or misapprOpriated by any
officer connected with the city govern
ment.
Our city has always maintained high
financial standing in Eastern mOnied
centerS, fact largely due to the ca,
pacity, honesty and efficiency of the
committees of the common council, and
the officers of the city connected with
them. need only to illustrate by al
luding to our AZ per cent bonds, which
have always commanded a ready sale,
and even in periods like the late finan-
cial distress they sold at par and ac-
crued interest. 1t is your duty to see
that this financial standing is continued
by a careful and economical manage
ment of the affairs of the city.
The conservative financial policy OF
st. Paul has been such as to inspire con-
fidence at home, and insure sound
credit abroad. In referring to the
bonded Indebtedness in ais statement of
June l, 1888, the comptroller says;

Losing the Happy Out of the Heart

A mother, who was leaving her
home on a visit, told her little boy
and girl not to 90 through a gate at
the bottom of their garden, which
opened into a wood. The children
were very happy for long time after
their mother had gone, but at last, in
their play, having reached the gate
through which they were not to pass,
the little boy began to feel an earnest
desire to go into the wood. He per-
suaded his sister to follow him.
Nothing appeared to disturb them,
and after some rambling and playing
about, they returned, having conclu-
ded not to tell their mother where
they had been, unless she asked them !:
she had not expected them to disobey
her, and never thought of inquiring.
Notwithstanding this, the little boy
did not feel comfortable. He knew
he had done wrong, and he could not
help feeling unhappy. e..
When Sunday night came, and the
little boy had been washed for bed,
he and his mother commenced to
have nice talk, as they usually had
at that time. James could not keep
his sad secret from his mother, so he
told her what he and his sister had
done; and then in some way to show
that her command was needless, he
said that nothing had happened to
them. The mother let him know
that something did befall them, and
that they had lost something, and
urged her little boy to think what il
could be. Perhaps she meant they
had lost the habit of obedience, and
would be easily led to do wrong
again; or perhaps she meant they
had lost her confidence. The little
boy could not think for a long time
of anything he had lost. He knew
that he had left his ball safe, that hiE
knife was in his pocket, and that his
slate-pencil was at hand when hi
wished to use it. But as he continu
ed to think, he remembered how un
easy and uncomfortable he had beer
all the week, and at last, in a low
sorrowful voice, he said, mother,
did lose something in the wood

Genius Talent,

The Current. i ksiAN, n
The man possesses talent, but genius
possesses the man. If a genius for
music, the man does not resolve to
sing, but genius sings through the
man; if a genius for poetry, the man
does not say, 81 will learn to write
poetry" but genius uses the man in
writing poetry, if the genius of a
painter, an architect, or sculptor, it is
much thesam Man is the instru-
1nent, genius the agent. So Pope
"lisped in numbers, for the numbers
came;" Mozart, when but lad, as
t6aished his hearers with his organ
solos; West, when mere child using
brushes made of hairs plueked from
the cats back, delighted and surpris-
ed parents and friends with his supe-
rior pictures So the man, controll-
ing his talent, usually does things as
others do; but genius, controlling the
man, often does things very different
from othersi-and better. This can
hardly be otherwise in its highest
manifestation. Made up largely of
sensibility and imagination, it sees
what others do not see and feels what
others do not feel. Hence, if strange,
even eccentric the world should be
neither surprised nor censorious, but
cquable and charitable. Indeed, it is
almost the unvarying law that
genius is eccentric. Caution: Let not
the dullard take the converse, saying:
''I'm eccentric, hence genius" Such
logic is both cheap and bad. Genius
creates; talent arranges, directs, exc
cutes. The world needs but few to
create, the rare, the gifted few who
come on the tops of the centuries, but
needs the multitude to toll on with the
zone talent" or "five," striving earn
estly to double the same, envying not
him or her who hath the "ten".
