SAINT PAUL.
oUIPs AND FANCIEs.

A recount of the city having been
ordered despite the arduous labors OF
the delegation that journeyed to Wash
ington. citizens would do we'll to cease
criticising the actions of federal officials.
However harsh that action may seem,
carping criticism will not prevent the
recount, and unless citizens combine to
see that the recount is properly handleu
the enumeration will fall considerably
behind the actual population. Actions
and not words are now wanted. Ihe
cause of st. Paul has been damaged
from the outset by the vaporing5 OF In.
diYidualS consumed with the eg0lSm OF
their own importance. The clty's proper
representatives should take the matter
iii hand and see that its fair fame is not
allowed to be still further bedraggled ID
the mire.
A.. B. Stickney has called a meeting
of subscribers of stock III the Manu-
facturers' Loan and Investment aSSocla-
ton for tomorrow. Tw0-thirds OF the
capital stock having been subscribed,
officers are to he elected and the asso-
citation properly f1Oated. 1t is time.
Business men have been looking for
ward to this for, 10! these many months.
Custodian Egan, of the court house,
is naturally indignant. He has been
charged with dropping out" German
employees and pulling III" representa-
tives of the Irish nationality. When
Mr.. Egan heard of this he raised yell
which made the court house tremble.
So far from this being the case, he
dropped an Irishman and put in Ger
man. What do the Irish say to this?
Consul NewSon was given a rouSing
send-off at the Astoria last evening.
Thele was representative attendance
of st. Paulites, and the major richly
deserved the kindly expressions show
ered upon him. The sterling Integrity
of the man cannot be questioned, and
all his many friends wish him GOD
speed in his new sphere OF labor.
Since Gov. Merriam took possession
of the executive department at the cap
itol he has considerably beautified the
building and grounds. The grounds
have been improved by the addition OF
the mtimation ITO Keep Off the Grass"
the employees have considerable diff
Guilty in protecting the flower beds. The
dogs are especially destructive. In Or
der to keep the animals off the grounds
novel eXpedient has been adopted.
Employees are stationed at various WIN
dOWS on the second floor of the capitol.
Each is prepared with an air gun, and
whenever an unfor tunate canine ven
lures on the lawn and draws near those
precious flower beds he is sharply
brought up with a shower of bullets
viking about his ribs. 1t is great fun
for the employees. but what about the
taxpayers who pay their salaries?
Surely they must consider this pecul-
lar proceeding under this yauntedbusi-
ness administration the state is just
now being blessed with.
DR.. AmOSs. the deputy coroner, who
was married last week at Crown Point,
Ind, will return home with his bride Oh
Wednesday. The doctor is very popu-
lar in the East end of the city, and a
royal greeting is promised him. There
is also widespread feeling in the Sec
ond ward to force him to run for the
legislature the coming fall. DR.. AmosS
is a Staunch Democrat, and, ii he be-
comes a candidate, will assuredly be
elected.
There is some satisfaction in the fact
that with Nov. electricity will be sub
Stituted for horse power on the various
street car lineS-that is, if there is no
delay in the delivery of material. The
Selby avenue cable extension will
be laid to-day, but the cars cannot be
run until the bridge is properly liked,
and when that will be no one seems to
