CURRENT COMMENT.

When the street car tracks are placed
along Eighth street las unQuestionably
they will. the railway company getting
everything they desire). a complete
loop will be formed about the business
center of the city. All the car lines
will traverse this loop. In the sister
city of Minneapolis and other cities OF
the United States, such loops have been
built an d facilitate greatly, not only the
business of the street railway, but
tratfic generally. 1t is the opinion of
Col. Barr, manager of the st. Paul City
Railway company. that the loop here
will, when completed, be the finest OF
any city in the country. Persons deSir-
Gus of taxing any line Of cars can catch
them at any point along Wabasha, Fifth,

A consensus of public opinion APP
bears TO be against the proposition to
lease the market house for period of
fifteen years to a corporate firm for
business purposes. While it is con-
ceded that the market house does not
fulfill the purpose for which 1t was con-
structed dozen years ago, 1t IS Thought
the leasing of it for such term as IS
proposed would be unwise. The space
about the market is great public con-
Venience at present. The property III
the Fifth. Eighth and Second wards
upon which it is proposed to erect mar
ket sheds will doubtless detract from
the market house as a market place, but
the progressive strides with which st.
Paul is advancing will soon make the
property in question in demand for
other purposes ere half the term of the
lease has expired.
While these are not the days in which
the fiery dog star RACES, yet it may be
said that during these fine days the dog
goddess does reign, judging from the
number of women seen on the street
accompanied by canine specimens. The
fad now does not seem to be so much in
favor of the once-popular poodle; but
has given way in degree to the mastiff
or some large, ugly species, as may
strike individual Whim. There is one
woman who has attracted the pedes-
trianS on WabaSha street for several
days. She is generally preceded by
large, black, curly-cOated dog, about
whose neck is tied profusion of cardi-
nal ribbon. The woman carries large
four-horse plated whip in one hand,
which presumably is used to enforce
subsection from the aforesaid canine.
1t seems like a singular freak to the
many people, who turn to stare after
the woman and her companion.
The controversy now going on be-
tween the literary editors of the repre-
sentative morning and evening expo
nentS of Republicanism is an exciting
topic of conversation among the poll
ticians in that party in this city and
throughout the state. Disnterested
persons view the war from afar, and
await the outcome that is to decide
which shall dominate as the plumed
knight of that party. 1t will be inter
esting to know whether the policy of
the morning exponent or that of the
evening paper shall be recognized by
their party in the campaign that is now
Just. opening.
The general and earnest prayer of
the orthodox Christian, as we'll as the
unjust man, publican and sinner, is that
BoreaS shall fold his wings and move
silently away giving place to real
spring if not actual summer. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the prayers in
this direction shall be granted as
promptly as were those recently offered
for rain.
