ORDINANCES AND CONTRACTS.
Numerous Matters Before the
COunciI of South St. Paul.


Amendments to the police ordinances
of South st. Paul passed the second
reading at the council meeting of that
CITY last evening, and will most likely
be adopted. They place appointments
and other police matters in the
hands of a committee to be select
ed by the council. and the chair
man to be the chief executive officer
of the police commission. The COM
mission is to work subject to the APP
prOyal of the councilmen. An amend
nent to the ordinance on liquor licenses
places their approval in the control OF
the police commission. Fred Oelker's
petition to give exhibitions of athletic
sports on premises next to his saloon re-
ferred TO the present council committee
on police. Proposed vacations OF streets
were referred to the street committee.
City Comptroller Todd reported that
he had effected complete settlement or
financial matters between West st.
Paul and South St. Paul. the former
having delivered $4,000 of bonds for its
part of the obligations. The aldermen
expressed their pleasure at this dis
posal of complication which has been
long and tedious.
On educational matters a committee
was appointed to select members OF
a school board. and a petition
recommending Eugene Sutton: OF
the Third ward for a member OF the
hoard was received. Bireher avenue
was accepted from Contractor Mulligan.
Readyertising was ordered for bids for
sidewalks and the extras for the new
CITY hall were examined. G. NJ. Thayer
represented the contractors, Barnett

DEMOCRATS OF MINNESOTA.

1t is not worth while just now to dis
cuSS the chances for Democratic success
in this state. There is feeling among
Democrats that they deserve success
whether they win it OF not, and this is
sufficient to keep them in good heart.
But it is matter of Importance that
the Democrats themselves do nothing
to impair the chances for success,
and that they do not play into the hands
of the opposition by bringing fac
tional differences and Individual griev-
ances into the state convention. What
we want above all things, this year, is
a united Democracy, and the mau who
is disposed to subordinate the party
welfare to personal ambition should be
promptly relegated to the rear and be
kept in the background until the cam
paign is over. That is the spirit which
pervades the entire Democratic party of
this state, and it should be carried into
the primaries and county conventions
which are to be held shortly.
The Democratic party is now making
fight strictly on principle. The estab-
lishment of the principles for which it
contends is essential to the perpetuity
of popular government in this country.
1t is not questioned men, but of mea-
sures; consequently, any ambitious per-
son who permits his selishness to soar
higher than his party principles can
find no place in the Democratic ranks
at this time.
We do not mean to advance the idea
that Democrats shall not enter into
fair competition for places on the party
ticket. But let the contest be of
friendly and generous nature, with the
distinct understanding among all can
didates that the winner shall have the
cordial support of the losers. Every
thing that colors of factional strife
should be eliminated, and all personal
grievances should be frowned out of
sight.
AS we have indicated, the place for
beginning the work of unifying and
harmonizing the Democratic masses is
in the primaries and local conventions.
Then, when the state convention assem-
bIes. it will be composed of DELEGATES
who come together for the single pur-
pose of promoting Democratic success.
1t is party, and not candidates, we have
to look to.
There is no question but that great
majority of the people of Minnesota are
in hearty sympathy with Democratic
principles. This is particularly true
of the farmers and labor classes. We I'M
derstand how hard it is for men to break
the ties of old party associations. and to
place themselves in line with those
whom they are accustomed to fight.
Hence we realize. the difficulty in
achieving a Democratic victory in
state which has always given strong
Republican majorities. At the same
time we know. as others know, that the
political conditions at this time are
of a most peculiar nature. The
farmers and the workingmen, who
have chung to the Republican
party, in the vain hope that the

it will d:sfranchise large number of
whites. But an attempt to draw the
line on the races will be grievous
blunder. 1t could only be adopted by
the loss of more than half the represen-
tation of the state, and it would invite
interference on the part of those who
would pass force bills, under the claim
that the requirement of the national
constitution of republican form OF
government was not met. Illiteracy
would permanently disqualify but few.
and would meet little objection out of
the state. If the convention is able to
find ajudicious and safe solution of the
problem before it, other Southern states
in the cotton belt will be likely to fol :
low its example.

CoMMlTTEE on RECOUNT.

The city council did the wiseSt thing
last night that could be done, by virtu-
ally resolving itself into committee on
the public safety. The ward aldermen
were made active members, and the
aldermen at large were made honorary
members, of committee to act in con-
junction with the citizens committee
for the purpose of cooperating with
Special Census Agent WARDLE in max
ing the recount which has been ordered
by Secretary NOBLE.
While we have no definite informa-
ton to that effect, the probability is
that Mr.. MARBLE will reach the city
tnis morning, and the joint committee
will Immediately confer with him as to
plan of operation. The sole object Of
the committee is to aid in the recount
and to furnish the census agent with all
material and information necessary to
facilitate his work. The committee
will at all times hold open meetings,
and they will be held i'll the court house,
where all citizens will be privileged to
go and to furnish the committee with
such information as they may possess.
The addition of the members of the
council to the joint committee gives
that body virtual control of the whole
matter, and thus impartS semi-official
and authoritative feature to the commit
tee that it has not heretofore possessed,
1t is understood that the duties of this
reconstructed committee will pertain
solely to matters connected with the
recount, and it will in no wise assume
responsibility for what has been done.
We say this IS the wisest arrange
ment that could have been made. 1t
will not only prove effective, but much
more satisfactory than if few indlvid-
ualS on their own motion should cOnSti-
tute themselves into a committee and
adopt the star chamber procedure and
exclude the public from all knowledge
of their doings until it was too late to
correct their mistakes.
We do not know what plans the com
mittee will adopt, nor have we any
special recommendations to make. We
are satisfied to leave all that to the wis
dom of the joint committee. But il
does occur to US that cen
SuS could be taken under local au-
thority that would not be expensive and
yet be reliable. We mean independent
of the federal census. 1t could be done
simply by dividing the city into the
number of districts equal to the number
of blocks In the city. That is. each
block should constitute an enumeration
district. Then call for volunteer emu
merators, some one person in each
block to enumerate his block, and, in
our Judgment, the work would be done
without a cents expense, except the
cost of printing the blanks. If in few
instances volunteers refused correspond,

some one to take their place. In this
way we could have local enumeration
that would be absolutely correct, and i
could all be done in one day. We
merely suggest this plan for the eonsid-
Grafton of the committee. in the event
they find it advisable to take a separate
census under local authority. And if il
were done. it would be valuable aid te
the federal officials in making theil
work thorough. for they could use thu
local returns for the purpose of verify
| ing their own.

Joel Will Claim Every thing.

Whatever may be thought of the facts
in relation to the political situation, one
cannot help admiring the cool assurance
of the chairman OF the state central
committee. 1t has in it a spirit of cheer
fulness and confidence that is worth a
few thousand votes at least. 1t will
have bracing effect upon the weak
hearted, and it will be the keynote of
the campaign. 'Claim everything" will
be the signal, and very good one it
will be under the circumstances. Joel

nominee of both the Alliance and the
Prohibition parties for lietenant gov
ernor, is out with lengthy communi-
cation in the Progressive Age, of Min
neapoIis, defining his position, and ex-
planning how he proposes to stand as
the candidate of both parties. This he
does in the following paragraph.
Let me put on record the fact that l am
tiller of the soil, a member of the Alliance,
an Alliance lecturer and organizer. My in
terests and sympathies are SO closely and
endearingly affiliated here, it would be
wrong to allow party or office to sandwich
itself between me and my suffering brothers.
There is nothing more sacred in citizenship
than the birthright prerogative in being the
judge of what ones duty is. Exercising this
prerogative true to my instincts and public
Obligations. l am hand in hand with the
valiant little army labeled Prohibition, that
is pounding and grinding into atoms
the constituencies monopoly, the liquor
traffic. By the virtue of prior
nomination my allegiance. under the solemn
pledge of accepting it, is first due the Prohi-
bitionists, and squaIely on their platform do
l stand. This obligation my indorsing
friends concede and respect In the farm
ers' and laborers' convention | was an
nounced as the Prohibition candidate. 1t
was indeed q magnanimity i'll them not to
question my prohibition attitude when they
made me their standard bearer, also. claim
ing me as the exponent of their reforms.
Thus both conventions placed me in a rela-
ton that affords the best possible opportunity
for agitation upon issues in which both or
CARNATIONS are mutually conceived
The balance of the article is DEVOTED
to an attempt to prove that the Alliance,
by its resolutions denouncing the SUI
preme court of the United States for the
original package decision, practically
declares for prohibition. s',fhe essen
tialdifference." says Mr.. Barrett, "being
that prohibition openly declares war
against the crime trust while the
farmers and laborers only imply it by
resolving against the late decision of the
United States supreme court"
The withdrawal of Judge Wilson from
the race for the Democratic congress
sionai nomination in the First district
renders the trotting out of new candi-
date necessary, and, while it is generally
conceded that the judge would have
made perhaps the strongest candidate
the party could have named against
Congressman Dunnell. it is extremely
