THE Galveston News puts its cart
before the horse when it remarks that
the Island City will want well paved
streets from one end of the city to the
other before it can properly accom-
modate the commerce that will come
with a deepwater harbor. Get your
harbor and there will be no trouble
about the paving. Eight or ten
years hence will be ample time for
that.

Street Work

The forces of the city engineer are
busy with the work of grading Gar

bic condition for the traffic at the
coming fair. From Garden street the
men go to Pecos street, where they
will begin work tomorrow.

THAT the reasoning men of the
democracy are not struck with the
democratic platform adopted at San
Antonio is only too evident. The
Galveston News considers it a plat
form constructed in conformity to the
demands and dreams of promiscous
appetite. Not even democratic appe-
tite; only promiscous.

GALVESTON proposes a trade dis
play la ST. Louis, to voice her enthu-

bill. 1t is intimated that next Christ
mas will be time enough for the dis
play, and the enthusiasm will be
bottled and kept on ice until needed.

Petty BurgIaries.

A few days ago several attempts at
burglary were made upon the res
idents on st. Mary's street, and small
articles were carried away. The last
of those occurred Sunday night when
they broke into Hockett's boarding
house on that street, and departed
with some pieces of jewelry and
several pairs OF pants.

THE Victoria Advocate draws the
line between the devil and the deep
sea as follows:
Don't let your prejudices against
the commission operate to prevent
you from voting for Hogg, or from
doing all q good true democrat may
do to elect him. While doing this,
however, let no true democrat cease
fighting that most dangerous and I'M
democratic measure even if it is in
the platform. The advocates of the
commission will find that 1t is tar
more difficult to elect the commission
than it is to elect Hogg.
This is the old subterfuge: In favor
of the law, but opposed to its execu-
ton.

approximate Of the number Of people III
Minneapolis. Supervisor Davenport
said he was bound by his oath of office
not to tell, and his assistant, Ed
Stevens, was silent. The Business
Mems union estimated anywhere be-
tween 100000 and 100000. Early in the
evening there was party OF men gath
cred in down town resort discussing
the all-absorbing topic, and one OF them
ventured the remark that the official
count would not exceed 225,000. In less
than a minute Will E. Steele and
Charles M. Foote, who had overheard
the remark, offered to bet the man who
made the statement anything from
$1,000 to $4,000 that the official count
would exceed his figures, and although
the gentlemen laid $4,000 in cold hard
cash in a bystander's hands the man
who thought Minneapolis would not
show a population over 225,00O quietly
walked out and said he had no money
to wager on the result.
Late last night neither Supervisor
Davenport or the committee from the
to the outcome. That some of the resi-
dents will be missed there is no doubt,
and that this will result in detriment
to the business interests of Minneapolis
there can be no question, but that the ne
role work done by the volunteers Friday
and yesterday has saved the fair name
of the Flour city there can be no dOuDt
The supervisor of the census recog-
niZes this, so does the Business Mems
union, which has been interchangeable in
its labors, and the thousands of volun-
teers who have made it point to see
that their families and their friends ana
their neighbors have been duly counted.
Credit is also due to the enterprislng
StOrekeepers who insisted upon their
clerks making the inquiry of every GUS
toner or visitor to their store. "Have
you been enumerated?" and hundreds
Of names were thus secured which
might otherwise have been last. 10 the
corps of loyal men and women who, In
spite of the inclement weather, went
from house to house and insisted that
their friends and acquaintance should
perform their duty, Minneapolis is under
obligations, and 1t is debt that
at some future time the city will be glad
to pay. But the work is not yet done.
In many of the business blocks, board
ing houses aud private dwellings the
lanes of the dodgers have been mis-
spelled or some other trifing matter
overlooked by the jealous volunteers.
1t is the duty of every citizen to welcome
the enumerator when he calls tomorrow
aud to assist him in every possible way,
and, if name has been missed, to see
that it is properly recorded. If this is
done there is but little doubt that the
city of Minneapolis will not only make
good her proud boast of being the great
metropolis of the Northwest, but will
show population in keeping with the
just claims of her people.

LOCAL MENTION.
A CREDIT TO MINNEAPOLIS.
The Display Made by the Minne-
sofa Electric COmDany.


The new store of the Minnesota Elec-
trio company, which has just been
opened at GIG Nicollet avenue, is with
out doubt one of the finest In the coun-
try, and never has Minneapolis had
such complete display of electrical
goods, fixtures, mantels and tiling as
are now shown by this enterprising
in all kinds of electrical supplies, gas
fixtures, mantels, thing and those APP
plianceS which go to beautify the home
or the business block. A casual glance
through the place is enough to show the
stability of the concern. The large show
window, with its many and artistically
arranged lights, is indeed thing
of beauty, especially in the early
evening when the current is turned on.
In the center of the window there is a
ventilating fan constructed upon Soien-
tific principles, and operated by the
electric current. With such a fan In
operation in a home, or an Office, there
can be no complaint about hot weather;
for, while it takes up but little space, II
constantly keeps the air in circulation.
The stock Of electrollers and combina-
ton fixtures is most complete, and
many striking ana unique designs are
shown. The company will make spe
cialty of furnishing both business
blocks and private houses with electric
and gas fixtures, mantels and things,
and estimates will be cheerfully fur
nished on all kinds of this work. They
are also the city agents for the Thomp-
son-Houston system of electric lighting,
motors, etc. They have also arranged
in the store system of fire and burglar
alarms, Office and house bells, and cleo
trio gas lighting, and illustrate in a
practical way the uses to which their
system can be put. Especial attic ntion
is given to their electrical repair de-
partment. and, as only expert wOrkmen
are employed, satisfaction Is guaran-
teed. Any one requiring anything in
their line will do well to pay them a
visit.

Chronic Case.

The only crossings case was up again
Yesterday before Judge Young. The
Central Trust company holds claim
against the Minnesota & St. Louis COM
pany. Considerable time was occupied
In explaining its view of the matter
before signing the final contract. The
other attorneys interested in the matter
INDUCED in some sarcastic cross-fre
with Mr.. Richardson. for the trust
company. Judge Young, of st.
Paul, representing the Great
Northern. expressed himself as
sick of the thing. Mr.. Richardson
asked the court to continue proceedings
again, until he could secure copy Of
the contract. The other lawyers ex-
pressed themselves forcibly as suffering
from a severe case of ennui produced
by the tediousness of this case, though
It's supposed they manifested the spirit
to curry political favor with the masses.
Judge Young finally pacificated mat
tiers by setting the case for next Mon
day, though out of mere force of habit
Mr.. Richardson registered another kick,
but 1t didn't make any difference to
Judge Young: it went over,
