American ana Foreign Wines.

If the free-tradc editors who made
merry over the American wines drank at
the protection banquet in New DIRK knew
their own country, they would know thai
the United States has ceased 10 be an in
crcasing consumer of French wines.
Americans drink American wines. The
often drink them under Il French label,
but they drink them ali the same.
1t will probably surprise our frce-trade
friends nightly to learn that in 1890 the
United States imported little more wine
than in $40 Il half century before; less
than in 1886, forty years ago, "nc-hali as
much as in 1850 or in 1870, twenty and
ten years since, andno more than i'll 1850
Yet here are the figures of our imports OF
foreign wines and our home production IL

DECLINE OF GREAT FAMILIES.
Disappearance From Public Lie OF the
Prominent Hayard Family.

The announcement that Thomas +.
Bayard, of Delaware, will not seek 4 re-
election to the United States Senate
marks the disappearance from public life
of family that has long held Il promill-
cnt place in American statccratt. the
father, the uncle, the grandfather aud the
great grandfather Of the present Bayard,
says tile Chicago Mail, have sat in the
superior chamber Of The NatiOna! Lcgis-
laturc. Important judicial and diplomat
ic positions have fallen to the lot Of mem
bcrs of this eminent family. Tie name
Of Bayard is shining in the annals OF
American politics.
With all Difference to the opinion of
President Eliot Of Harvard College, it
NAV be declared that the traits Of great
ness do not persist indefinitely in eminent
families, rs he has contcndcd in recent
magazine article. The doctrine of hcrcd-
ity has its limitations. The most fertile
fields become barren unless frequently
fortified or carefully conserved hv the
rotation of crops. The most intellectual
and virle family stock will not always
produce great nen. Tie famous Adams
Iaunil, OF Massachusetts has ended in the
production Ol ml!llonalrc$ ana aIc!ldN-

by Fire Last Night.

n Dwelling and Il Hotel Scorched
by Fire Last Night.
Fires have been a!armingly frequent
in West st. Paul recently, and last
night added two more to the list. At
o clock an alarm was rung in from the
corner of Isabel street and Stryke ave-
nue., and on the arrival Of the depart
ment the residence of a. IL. Miller, 154
Isabel street, was found in fla hes. The
structure was a tWO-StOry cottage, al
most new. Before the water was turned
on the structure was a mass OF flame.
and all hope of saving any part of
either the house Or contents WAS past.
The Miller family were absent on a
visit to neighbOrS when the enElnes
passed the door, but were unaware tnat
they were sufferers by the caprice of the
fire tienG. When they returned home
the ire was under control, an the com
Portable home they had lief! q short time
before was represented i'll q pile OF
steaming ashes. The house was val
ued at $4,000. 1t was insured for 1880,
and the furniture for 500.
Scarcely had the fire-Out tap been
sounded for the first fire when second
alarm came in from the corner of Con
cord and Congress streets. This time
the vacant West Side hotel, the prop
erty Of the Langevin estate, WAS burn
ing. Engine Company M. q arrived
promptly, but the Old dry Shack burned
like finder, and defied all efforts TO its
salvation. The building was valued at
s., 800, and is fully insured.

Gates and the various funds for which
bonds have been issued.
1t is generally conceded that the
ledger should at all times show the act
ual financial condition of the person,
corporation or municipality by which it
is kept, and that any other exhibit is
erroneous. Nothing is gained by con-
cealing facts or by making matters APP
pear better than they really are: and
al such accounting should be avoided.

counts of the city treasurer. find
them we'll kept and in first-class condi-
ton. The system used is a very good
one, and the condition of every account
can lie aScertained at the close of bust
ness each day.
have examined the books of the sec
rotary of the board OF education. | find
that section Is of the act creating the
board of education has been dSregarded
IN that all money collected by the sec
rotary is not turned over to the city
treasurer, but that part is used for
various purposes and the balance only
is turned over. This appears to be
sanctioned by the finance committee Of
the board, and it is contrary to the plain
letter of the law. The Secre AIRY has a
fund for petty expenses independent OF
the receipts above mentioned. Until
June 80, the close of the fiscal year, il
cannot be definitely determined
whether the board OF education has eX-
ceedcd its power as to the amount eX-
pended for the maintenance of schools
OF for new buildings, and, if SO, to what
extent: but | think it will be found
they have done 50. Section % of the
law organizing the board of education
preScribes the penalty of any such acts.

there should be better check on the
receipts than now exists, and have so
suggested to the secretary. Otherwise
the system used deserves c0nmenda-
ton. All the officials mentioned have

There is just as much COM
petition between high and.
low prices as though they
entered the ring and tried to
settle their differences &C
cording to pugilistic rules.
You can rest assured, how
ever, that high prices are in
the long run likely to get the
worst of it. In days when
transportation was slow and
when the telegraph had not
yet been heard of, dealers
could charge pretty we'll
what they pleased. Now,
however, the buyer can find
out by comparisons, which
are easily made, whether he
is being asked to pay too
much, aud he won't have to
look far for a remedy in
these days of swift and
cheap travelling. In the long
run, therefore, high prices
are likely to go to the wall.
We have never believed III
them, and we never will.
You can ask for no better
evidence on this point than
