THE TUNNEL SCHEME.

We call the attention of our st. Paul
readers TO the communication of Mr..
MCANULTY in this issue of the GLOBE,
in which he makes the suggestion that
this city can secure a never-failing
power plant of from 10000 to $1,000
horsepower by constructing a tunnel to
commence at or near the Tenth avenue
bridge, in Minneapolis, and terminal
ing at some point within the limits of
st. Paul: Mr.. McANULTY estimates
that the cost of the tunnel need not eX-
coed 81, 500 900, and from some figuring
that he gives us i'll private letter, the
cost is reduced materially below this
sum. But even two millions and half,
or even three millions, would be no bar
to the construction of the work if all
other conditions were favorable. There
would be no trouble in raising the
money to carry the enterprise to COM
pletion if the project is demon
strated to be feasible and desirable.
Without further investigation the
GLOBE does not care to commit itself to
the enterprise; yet we say frankly that
we are pleased no less by the novelty of
Mr.. MCANULTY'S suggestion than by
the impression that it is both practical
BILE and desirable. We believe that we
could thus secure one of the most salts
factory and substantial water powers in
the world. AS Mr.. MCANULTY says,
the yearly rental from 5000 horse
power at from one-half to tWo-tlirds
less than power can be hired in Mime
ap0lIs will pay five per cent on the en-
tire sum required to construct the tun-
nel. And we Furthermore believe that
q tunnel can be bored the entire length
through the St. Peter sandstone ledge
underlying our city at a less expense
than to make canal on the surface.
There might be some division of opinion
among our citizens as to where the ter
minus of the tunnel ought to be. The
ground on this side OF the river suitable
for manufacturing sites that could be
made available is pretty much occupied.
To take it to the West side would re-
quire the additional expense of via
duct. The ground around North St.
Paul, or i'll the direction of Como and
Phalen, is too high to answer the pur-
pose of a tunnel terminus. The tunnel
would have to terminate OH level with
the river bed in order to obtain the full
measure of power. 1t is altogether
probable that the section of the city
lying in the neignborhood of the Bohe-
milan settlement could be made ayaila-
BILE. There is a considerable area of
fiat land unoccupied and which ought
TO be acquired at reasonable rates. and
the terminus of the tunnel could be fixed
at point near the Murray Hill station
on the Milwaukee short line.
We say this much by way of sugges-
tion to start a discussion Of AIR. Nc
ANULTY's scheme. The GLOBE would
be glad to have those of our citizens
who are interested in this question of
manufacturing take this matter under
consideration. And, to this end, we free
IL open our columns to all who wish to
discuss it or have suggestions to make.
We have made good beginning, and
let us keep up the good work until we
have arrived at something definite,
something practicable, and something
desirable.

THROWING HIM.

1t is difficult to understand why there
should be special manifestations of hos
tility to President HARRISON in his
own party in Indiana, unless he has
forgotten to give offices to some who
had reason to look for them. As his
special discoveries and sponsors, they
are presumed to have very large nantes
of charity, and cannot expect to be
served while any relatives are unpro-
vIded for. The Republican committees
in the counties met the other day to
elect members of the state committee,
and surprising exhibitions of aversion
were had. In the county of Harrison
resolutions of Endorsement OF the adj
mlnistration we're voted down. and they

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The emperor has
issued an order or imperial rescrIpt adj
dressed to Baron Won Berlepsch, the
new minister of commerce, in which he
says that however valuable orimportant
are the measures now in operation for
improving the condition of the working
people, they are not to be compared
with what proper performance of the
duty before the new minister will re-
auire. He then specifically directs an
extension in the application of work
ingmen's insurance. and the opening of
an inquiry into ali trade laws at
tecting factory labor. The emperor
affirms in the reseript that it Is the duty
of the state TO so regulate the duration
and the nature of labor as to insure
the health, the morality and the supply
of all the economic wants of the work
ingmen, and to preserve their claims to
equality before the law. For the pro-
motion of peace between workingmen
and their employers, legal measures
must be taken toward the establishment
of regulations empowering worklngmen
to appoint delegates enjoying their con-
fidenee to represent them in the settle
ment of affairs, those delegates safe
guarding the interests OF the working
men whom they represent in all nego-
tiations with the employers, or with
the government. Such system
would enable the wOrkingmen to eX-
press their wishes and grievances peace
ably and freely, and would give the au-
thOrities of the state an opportunity to
inform themselves in a very direct way
of the condition of the working people,
thus keeping in touch with all their
activities, sentiments and impulses. Re-
ferring to the state of things in the
mines, the emperor says, owing to his
anxiety for the welfare of the men, he
wishes to see the mines developed into
model establishments. and desires that
The council of state will meet TO con-
slider the preliminary questions involved
in carrying out these ideas. Experts
will be called to testify before it, and
the emperor himself will preside.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. EXCITED.
BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The emperor's re-
script and his order to Minister Won
Berlepsch have caused great sensa-
ton in parliamentary circles. They are
compared with Herr Won Boetticher's
statement in the reIchstag that further
legislation of the kind could have no
better success than the previous legisla-
ton had. But when Won Boetticher
made that declaration he was talking to
the richstag only, the elections were not
precisely on the carpet, and nobody was

HIS WICKED PARTNERS

1t often happens that the truly good
men who would not, as they admit
themselves, get hairs breadth off of
the Decalogue, are made to suffer in
spirit and reputation by having wicked
partners. Mr.. WANAMAKER is one of
this class, as specially shown by a case
in New York. The postoffice officials
brought to light the fact that .ADoLPH
KLUGE was receiving packages of rib
bons by mail that are liable to duty.
They are the kind used for straps to
hang up dresses and other articles, and
the peculiar feature is that they all
have the name John WANAMAKER"
woven into them at regular lengths. Mr..
KLUGE supplies the WANAMAKER store
in PHILADELPHIA, two recent orders call
ing for 5000 bolts. As there is so per cent
duty on them, the other dealers charge
s., and say they cannot be sold for less,
but the WANAMAKER store is taking
the trade at $3.50. Some would think
the good man Winked at the smuggling.
but he is evidently the victim of wicked
partners. He wants to encourage home
manufactures, too. He is for protec-
ton, honesty and goodness.

OMAHA. Neb., Feb. 5.-Gov. Thayer
today sent the following letter to Hon.
William Mckinley, chairman of the
house committee on ways and means:
Permit me to express myself briefly to
you, and to the members OF your COM
mittee, and very strongly, too, against
any reduction of the present tariff
on sugar. Nebraska is purely an
agricultural state; our people are
now establishing beet sugar industries,
and they want every encouragement the
government can give them. They are
investing largely of their means IN beet
sugar plants. Therefore, in their be-
half, enter respectful protest against
a modification of the tariff on this arti-
Gle. Our farmers are a long distance
from market, and it takes about one
half of what they raise to send the bal
ance to market. By the manufacture of
beet sugar home market is created for
them. They will be enabled to sell
their beets almost at their door. Very
respectfully and truly yours,

case Of MoRroN'S buffet at Washing

also to be eligible. but the crackers and
