Secretary White, of the board of ed
ncation, had quite an experience Satur-
day evening. He was in attendance at
the meeting of the board. and, prior to
the commencement of busieess, care
lesslv laid down his hat. AT the close
of the meeting MI. White, after search
ing nigh and low, failed TO find the hat:
Heshad even forgot where he had laid
t. A ianitor kindly loaned him
arge slonch hat, which, giving nm
a regular wild West cut, attracted UNI
versal attention, although MI. Whlte
took the most unfreQuented stTeets ~
his home on Dayton's Blutt. lie VIII
not be so apt in the future to lay ms
headgear down and an hour afterwards
forget where he put it.
The failure of the May festival is
severe blow to the city, as in the future
ssbig stars'' in the musical world will be
inclined to 'hy shy" of st. Paul. IL
would be better, before undertaking
such an important and responsible en-
terprise. if the promoters had solidly Sc
cured themselves from financial polnt
of view. The promotion OF such Iesu-
walls and their failure is not only re-
Election on the city. but also on the
parties connected with them.
Here is the month of June. and. SO
far. Mr.. Lowry has given no practcal
demonstration of his Intention TO pro-
coed with the extension OF the street
car system as he agreed to 90 last
year. With no sign of commencing, IL
looks very ''blue" for the whole OF the

Meanwhile the deviation of the Airing
ton hills line, via Broadway, is causing
considerable trouble to retail dealers on
that street. Broadway has been ylrtu-
ally a closed street for two weeks, owing
to the tearing Zip of the road
and the delay in completing the
line. The delay is said to be
caused owing to the non-arrlyal OF ma
terial. This explanation is cold comfort
to tradesmen whose weekly sales are
being considerably affected.
Whenever any unpleasantness occurs.
particularly in the management OF
public gathering, the people responsible
always endeavor to find a "Scapegoat"
on whom to father the blame. 1t Is ac-
cordingly not surprising to lind prom
inent members of the National Edu-
Sherip for giving to the newspapers the
correspondence relating to the Garfield
Ireland Trouble. They probably have
an idea. this correspondence suppressed,
a little would have been heard or said
about the practical cancellation of the
offer made Archbishop Ireland to adj
dress the coming convention. There Is
too much of this suppression" bust
ness, this secrecy in public matters, and
Secretary Sherin deserves the thanks OF
the public for quickly placing them,
through the newspapers, i'll full posses
sion of the facts Of the Canteld-lreland
affair. With the public on his side, he
can afford to ignore the silly, shallow
criticisms which have beeu hurled
against him.
The new board of education meets
this evening, and the new city council
meets tomorrow evening. Up TO the
present there is no particular man
prominently mentioned for the preSl-
dency of the educational board, but the
air is full of rumors respecting changes
to be made in the clerical staff. Ii is
generally conceded that Aid. o. 0. Gull
len will be elected president OF the
council.
The annual meeting of the pioneers
association is to be held this week. A
gathering Of the men who settled i'll the
state before the railroads came and
when the Indians were virtually in pos
session of the territory is always one Of
considerable interest; but, as the years
roll on, it becomes dOubly more inter
esting. Time has already made relent-
less inroads into the ranks of the asso-
citation, and in the near future the
membership must necessarily begin to
get very limited. The annual meeting
is looked to with considerable pleasure
by the members; and to outsiders priv
ileged to attend there is nothing more
amusing than to hear the stories re-
counted over and over again OF the
trials and adventures of the early pio-
neers.
The report of the state treasurer for
5aSt month showed credit balance OF
S13.529 for the revenue fund. The dear
public-the taXpayers--should just
keep their eyes on this item. Watch
and see how, in a month or two, this
credit balance will be transferred to a
debit balance, and then let everybody
thank Heaven for the privilege of liv-
ing under Republican state govern
ment, with its side show, business adj
miniStration.
State Treasurer Bobleter is having a
certain amount of fun, Notwithstanding
that hard political campaign is in front
of-him. Under the Republican call for
state convention the list of candidates
for nomination, as manipulated by GOV.
Merriam's political henchman, Stanford
Newell, places that of the state treas
urer fifth on the list and that Of the sec
retary of state fourth. The latter, con-
trary to usual custom. is placed ahead
of the treasurer. The placing OF the
nominating list in this way is gen
orally believed to bode no good for
the denomination of Col. Mattson, and
is said to naturally enhance the chances
of Col Bobleter for third term OF the
state treasury. Whichever it may be is
of little moment to Democrats, but to
the friends of Col. Bobleter it is OF
much importance. Col. Bobleter finds
this to be so, for while one set of his
friends express great delight, and say
it's good thing, another set shake
their heads. look grave and declare thai
the outlook is dark. Between the two
the genial colonel is having merry
time.
