is THE CLAIM TRUE ?

Census Bulletin No. 50, now famous
in the catalogue of malicious false
hoods. according to its own claims, lin
cludes the transactions in all municipal
funds of the cities in question as far as
reports can be obtained, aud in every
case it has been approved by the proper
municipal officer or no objection made
thereto"
This is an important statement, but
is it true Who would be the proper
municipal officer in the case of st. Paul.
and was the document in question ever
submitted to our city officials for exami-
nation before it was published If it
was so submitted, did they agree with
the statistician of the census depart
ment that the ordinary administrative
expenses of our local government con-
sumed the enormous sum of S27.6l per
annum for every man, woman and
child who lived within its limits
1t hardly seems possible that any of
these things can be so, or that our
mayor, comptroller or treasurer would
in April have Endorsed as accurate
figures which in duly they can so easily
prove to be unreliable and Intentionally
false. But, if they have not done this,
it would appear that the census depart
ment is not truthful in the claim that
its showings are sustained by the ap-
prevail of the local authorities. The
brain and heart of this community have
long since ceased being agitated over
The intellectual and moral vagaries of
ROBERT p. PORTER and his crew; but
what is the statistical branch of our
national government coming to if it not
only issues false and misleading bull
letins, but also undertakes to uphold
them by claiming credentials in their
favor which must either be forged or
else not exist at all?

BY THE WAY.

'sDo YOU know" observed a well posted
citizen last evening" THAT there is great need
of more rigid inspection of the boilers that
are employed in St. Paul for steam heating
purposes? Well, 1t is fact. There are any
number of boilers in the city, and some are
in our best flats and apartment houses, that
will not safely stand a pressure or ten pounds
to the inch Again there are others that have
been put in on the shabbily cheap plan, and
are not properly equipped with shut-off
valves Now let me illustrate to you
what the probabilities are with these
cheaply fitted boilers. There are no
valves to shut off the circulation
at the boiler The only place where this can
be done is at the radiator. This is also
cheap cast iron affair-this radiator-and is
liable at all times to breakage. Surprising
YOU are living in an elegantly furnished fiat
and some cold midwinter night an accident
happens to your radiator. The steam comes
mourning with an intense volume into your
rooms. You rush to your radiator, but the
valve won't work. You can't shut off the
volume. Then as a last resort you run to
the engineer, only to be informed by him
that there are no valves on the boiler, and
that you must suffer the only alternative
let the steam exhaust itself. If you are
fortunate enough to rescue your family from
asphvxiation. all your effects must be
ruined The state boiler inspector should be
directed by law to see that such occurrences
are provided against"
IL -
Col. Cleary-everybody knows him from
Chicago to the Pacific has just returned
from his sojourn at the Hot Springs. He ex-
hibits renewed vigor. and, although over
three score of eventful and changeful years
have rolled by since his earthly advent, he
now promises to greatly widen the stretch be-
tween cradlehood and eternity. He is the
jollfest and happiest Of souls, and the life Of
the guests Of his set at the Merchants.
-
HIS return home in such robust health
brings forcibly to mind peculiar fortuitous
circumstance that came to pass through the
error OF the Associated Press last fall. The
colonel was stopping at the Merchants, and
in some inexplicable way the Associated
Press wired nole of his demise to the East
ern papers. Chicago had been his home for
a long period, and he was well known
that is in a social way-to all the
newspaper men there. The city editors
were apprised of the item, and they straight
way sent reporters out to get an obituary.
Failing to get particulars that were satisfac-
ory the papers wired special correspond
ents at St. Paul, and it remained to the latter
to reveal the bIunder. The colonel was
found enjoying tolerably good health at the
Merchants.
81 wonder what sort Of obituaries tie boys
were going to WRITE" was the colonels re-
mark when he was told the story, and he
seemed to enjoy the blunder as though it
were q capital joke.

WHY SUCH GROWTH9

The noteworthy statements in the
census bulletin regarding educational
matters are relative to the great in
crease in the public school enrolment
In the South and some Of the new states.
Some of the old states, however, appear
to be retrograding. Vermont, New
Hampshire and Indiana show a de-
crease, and Pennsylvania hardly more
than holds its numbers, although there
was % per cent increase in population.
The hOrdeS of ignorance imported in
the mining region may have something
to do with this. The Southern states
gain from 81 per cent in West Virginia
TO LOG in Arkansas, and 10 in Florida.
They had larger proportion of illit-
crates, but this increase shows a grow
ing interest in education that is
extremely encouraging. The most
surprising figures are in the Dakotas.
Washington gives 21j, and New Mexico
2S3 per cent increase. but they do not
size up with 5G3 in South Dakota and
722 in North Dakota. In the latter two
states the school element has multiplied
several hundred per cent more in the
decade than has the total population.
There is an explanation, however, to
this. The boom in the first two or three
years of the decade waited the human
currents to the then one Dakota in i'm
mense volume. Most Of the migration
was of young people, very largely lust
married, or soon to be married. In con-
sequence, multitudes of children born
were old enough to be enrolled in the
decade. The proportion of old peo-
pie Is very small in those two
states. In the towns a man of pa
triarchial age is almost a curiosity. 1t
has been the local cOnceit that the
climate represses any appearance of old
age. The literature of the last decade
has this sort of glow. Then it has been
alleged that the prolific disposition is
somehow fOstered by the climate. Mar
riages without multiplied ''Wellsprings
of joy" are usually dissipated in the di-
vOrce courts. The cOmmiseration eX-
tended such makes the connubial rela-
ton irksOme. 1t has been alleged that
no equal population within the reach of
statistics has witnessed so much of the
Abrahamic promise in a decade as North
Dakota. 1t follows easily, then, that the
school enrolment has grown 200 per
sent faster than the population.

THE EDITORS, CONVENTION.

The summer is the season of con-
ventionS. and no places are better
adapted for accommodating them than
ST. Paul and Minneapolis. We have
cooler and pleaSanter summer climate
than any city in the country, adequate
hotels and auditoriums, cosmopolitan
population, among whom every stranger
can find some old friends or acquaint-
ances if he will look for them, and a
royal spirit of hospitality and good fell
! lowshIp in the air which makes the So
journer among US for day resume his
journey with favorable impressions of
the town and happy recOllections of his
tarryings here. In every quarter of the
United States there are people who
have been entertained by our citizens,
and who are always saying, with sim
cerity, that St. Paul and Minneapolis
are noble cities, and that they know 1T
because they have visited them.
All this is good for us, because per-
sonal witness of this kind in our favor
silenceS the calumniator, spreads abroad
the truth about our municipal great
ness, and helps us in our career of local
progress. The influx of wealth and
population makes for the advantage of
us all, and there is 10 Surer way of Sc
curing this than through the stories OF
our condition carried back by those
who, in attending meetings of one kind
and another here, are at the same time
spying out the land. If we have no
higher or more diSinterested motive
than this in continuing the warm vel
come we have heretofore always eX-
tended to strangers coming among US.
the GLOBE begs to remind our people
that is is worth while because it pays.
This will be especially true of the
convention of newspaper men which
meets in st. Paul, beginning Tuesday
of this week. Writers for the press are,
as a class, agreeable men, and Of great
influence in the communities where
they live. Newspapers mould public
opinion, even against the will of the
public itself, and familiarity with
printed matter has not emanclpated
readers from its dominion and power
over their minds. If it never had been
important that delegates to conven-
tion in this city should go home with
full knowledge of our resources, social
as well as material, it surely would be
important i'll this case. The GLOBES
news columns this morning give the de-
tails of the weeks programme, and the
general plan of the convention. A good
many owners of buildings in the city
have already agreed to add what they
can to the occasion by adjoining their
fronts with tasteful and appropriate
decorations, which will be a token to
our guests that their presence is gener-
ally recognized and appreciated. The
GLOBE calls on all who find it within
their power to do the same thing, and
to make. as far as outward display is
considered, the present week series of
gala days in the city's history.

STUMBLING BLOCKS.

That banker at Chicago who was so
fervent in devotion and active in all the
church works while plundering the
bank of the moneys intrusted to it,
largely by virtue of his sanity profess
sions, a year or two ago, did vastly more
harm to religion and the church than
all the attacks of an army of open enc
mics could. Still more harmful was the
effort of some, conspicuous with him in
the Christian walks, to shield him from
righteous retribution. Mr.. WANAMAK-
Err. of Philadelphia, who has made con-
slant parade of his superior virtues, has
been getting in very muddy water of
late in the debris of a wrecked bank and
several excellent regulations. 1t is in
sisted that the water must be pellucid
because his feet are in it. One of the
plumbers often made is that the world
is anxious to have those of high
professions diShonor them. That is not
true of any reputable class. But it is
expected that the professions shall be
supported by the life. When those who
are loud in their claims to Christlike-
ness, and assume to lead and instruct,
contradict such teachings in their lives,
it would be wiser to discard them than
to keep them in the observing eye as
opponents of the exalted faith. 1t is not
expected that any will be found immac-
ulate, nor is it reasonable to ask for ex-
act correspondence between the teaching
and the acting, but fragrant violations
of the worlds standards of ethics by
those who have vastly higher formulas
of life should have less leniency than in
cases where less vas professed. The
errors of the elect are stumbling blocks
to the world.

first, last and all the time, 1 am in ac-
cord with it. l believe in more pro-
lection than even the Mckinley bill
gives. A nation that sells raw material
will grow ignorant and poor-a nation
that raises raw material and sells the
manufactured article will grow intelli-
gent and rich. l am in favor of pro-
lection because it gives us diversity of
industries. This developes the brain
and gives employment to all kinds of
talent. To raise raw material you need
only muscle; to manufacture it into
useful and beautiful forms you need
mind, art, genius.

Don't gulp down iced drinks with the
expectation that they will keep you

of trade. Usually it is not matter of
choice with the farmer whether to hold
or sell his grain. He has debts con-
tracted to be met out of the crop. If he
can stand these off, he may hold his
produce for a time. The scheme in
question proposes to hold the wheat till
the market is reduced to emptiness. and
the held-back grain must be had at any
price the farmer chooses to ask. Could
it be made success, it might be found
that people were using other foods
largely and the demand for flour had
lesSened.
