ing the East Seventh street cable line.
He asserts that the line will be in oper-
alton by the 1st of June, but some of
the railroad officials. who expect to make,
some changes in the bridges over their.
tracks. are inclined to take less roseatei
views. June l suits Col. Barr said,
gentleman to me yesterday, ''but Juner
l may not accommodate the railroads.
We are anxious to complete the inn;
provement,and viii not delay the street,
car company for single day, If pos:
sible. But bridges and grades are troqb-,
leSOme bits of work, and no one can,
guess within month of completion with
certainty"
Col. Barr told me last night that the
Selby avenue line had never paid
dividend. ':But the Seventh street
line said he, Twill bring me doublethe
income. we get from the first line:
Figure for yourself. The Selby avenue
line has been in operation nearly four.
teen months without paying penny of
profit. Last Sunday we pat in a new
steel cable>five miles, or 20, 40 feet, iii
length. For the new cable we paid 80
cents "a foot, or nearly $4,000. WesBeI
lieve in the future of st. Paul and teX-
pect IN the near future to make money,
else we would have abandoned the en-
terprise long since"

Do you know Judge ID. B. Searle? He
has been in public Office for years, and
is yet young man. He was formerly
a familiar figure about the Merchants
but since his elevation to the bench he
has scrambled out of the political pot
that persistently boilS at the Merchants
and become patron of the Ryan.
Judge Searle has portly physique, but
mild blue eye and suave manner
that tempt the interviewer. But the
interviewer doesn't always get the
news sought for, for the judges bump
of caution is largely developed.
A mature teacher in one of the larg-
est public schools of st. Paul, who
ought to know better, is teaching her
pupils bit of heresy concerning Hor-
ace Greeley, denying his opposition to
slavery. Greeley was President Lin
coins chief adviser just previous to the
PRONUNCIATION of the emancipation
proclamation, and that prejudiced pub
LEGATION, the Encyclopedia Britannica,
says of Mr.. Greeley:
but it is as an anti-Slavery leader,
and, perhaps. as the chief agency in
educating the mass of the Northern
people to that opposition through legal
forms to the extension of slavery which
eliminated in the election of Abraham
Lincoln and the War of the Rebellion,
that the work was done. & - His
anti-slayery work eliminated in his APP
peal to President Lincoln, entitled
The Prayer of Twenty Millions in
which he urged every hour
of Difference to slavery was an hour of
added and deepened peril to the
Union,'"
Precisely one month from the utter
ance of this sentiment the Emancipa-
ton proclamation was issued. Horace
Greeley may not have been rampant
abOlitiOniSt, but he contributed more to
the abolition sentiment of the North
than any other Individual at that time.
The st. Paul school teacher will please
excuse the liberty taken with her Senti-
ments.
She was only a little tot-siX years
old, maybe-but not a favorite with her
companions in the neighborhood. But
like some grown-up people, she was. o ID;
fuse and didn't appreciate a snub,
Yesterday she obtruded where not
wanted, and out of spirit of human
nature that is generally developed in
early years, her pretty bangs and curls
on one side of her head were hacked
off by the playmates. The poor child is
fright, and aggressors have been
soundly punished; but can you account
for the development of such vicibns
tendencies in little people? A chrome
for the first correct solution. s.,,,
