St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-03-01

Years have come and years nave ueu3
And mighty hosts nave fought ana nled.
Whole nations have been born and LOST
And raven locks have hinged win frost
Since barlow Gale nrst brought 10 light
Ills pc. scheme of market site.
But still he pressed has sui, with zeal
And WUrdy notes of sweet aPl ea,
Until from a small country place
The city rose i'll mighty grace.
But still he rode his hobby horse
Round and round the lensthy course,
And though century has assed
Harlow has his reward at last.
The publication yesterday in the
GLOBE of the scheme to GUST Chief Ell
gineer Frank l.. Stetson from the hrt
department fell like thunderbolt III
the camp of the political schemers, anu
for a time at least the attempt has been
abandoned. 1t was expected tHat lht
matter would be brought up at the meet
ing of the council yesterday. and those
in the ploS had everything arrangeu-tu
take SIt tsOn's friends by surprise, ou'
after the publication OF the plans sew
eral of the aldermen who had been
counted on TO vote for the chiefs retire
ment to private life saw the object Oh
the move, and emphatically declared
they would have nothing to do win II.
1t was given out before the meeting Oi
engineer would be reduced to $3.50 per
AMMAN. and those opposed 10 Mr.. Stet-
son expected if this was done that he
would resign. They discovered, now
ever, that the city charter prohibits
making any change in an othclalS
salary during his term OF Office.
They would have to either re-elect him
for another year or declare the office va
cant. AS Mir. Stetson's friends were
fully informed of the object OF The
movement. and as the opposition were
not as confident of their strength as
they were on Thursday night, the at
tempt even TO reduce his salary was
abandoned. Some of those who were
identified with the movement to Dust
the chief now say that they faVor.llS
retention. but that they will insist on
the reduction OF his salary. For over
twenty years Mr.. SletoOn has been
engaged in protecting Minneapolis
prope ty from fire. and it would be an
ungrateful public that would allow him
to be turned out of his position to please
a few ward politicians who want to
make place for their henchmen.
After months OF hard work Harlow
a. Gale has succeeded III getting his
central market ordinance through the
council. Now everything is settled
that is if Mr.. Gale can find location
and the money TO build the market
house by July.
A committee consisting of Aid. Brad
ish. Vandewaker and Grimes is going to
teach City Comptroller CaIdeTWuOd his
business. It's dollars to ceLts that by
the time they get through their "teacn-
ing they will know enough about
practical reform to start city of their
own.
The Tribune-Star coldly sneers at the
reform work inaugurated by the GLOBE
and followed up by the Journal, and
gays:
The GLOBE and journal have evidently Sc

extensive write-up by saving. The law is
pOwerless' to touch the place. This Is
plainly intended as gentle hint TO the pub

out danger of molestatiOn
AS far as the GLOBE Is concerned. the
advertisement was gwen chiefly for the
benefit of the retrenchment and reform
administrator. which Tween YOU and
T. is responsible for the existence OF a
resort of Il character that is disgrace to
civilization. not to say the morality Of
clean and wholesome city like Min
ncapnlis, in which saloOnkeepers who
run as decent places as tippllng resorts
can be made are bounded by spies. and
are prosecuted for keeping open after
certain hour of the day.
And in a city too, in which police
sergeants prOwl about with step ladders
al night peering over tranSnmS of pTI-
Vate rooms in the hope If detecting The
unlawful acts which are foStrred and
protected apparently in public resort

women daily. And this is the reform
enthusiastically protected by the up
lifted hands of all good citizens" "

Martin Duke, the bail player, is
quoted as saying: 81 have been play
ing ball almost all winter in Columbus
and am in good condition, and don't
see any possible reason why the Mime
apolis club should not be pennant win

ponds on him, but perhaps he will think
differently before the season is over.

Evidently the prepOnderence OF Splr-

the fraternity, and the Jingling of

lacking upon this one particular Pc

AID. Joe Ingenhutt pays close atten-
ton to all the proceedings of the COun-
Gil. Yesterday Aid. Billings made a
motion. which, if allowed to 60 uncor-
Fected, would technically have given the
crematOry to the members of the work
house committee, and it would have be-
come their personal property. Joe
made a ten strike and caused cOnSidera-
bic laughter by remarking, "Don't give
it to the committee; give the committee
to it after the fire is lighted"
Now the secret is out. Aid. Parry, OF
the Seventh ward, is going to the legis-
lature. At least that is what Aid,
Sterling saws. Perhaps Mr.. Parry
