FLYING INTERVIEWS.

Park Commissioner Petsch-I think that
the only way in which to get rid of the uues-
ton of filling Lake Como would be to build
in the lake number of islands, and cement
the rest OF the bed of the lake and fill it up
with water. AT present the boulevard runs
round the lake, but owing to the water re-
ceding there is a space between the edge of
the drive and the lake about forty feet wide.
am IN favor of building another boulevard
on the edge of the lake which would be few
feet lower than the upper drive and have
grass plots between the two driveways.
/ am also strongly i'll favor of the acquisition
of the Indian mounds, as they are valuable
relics of by-gone age. and if the citizens de-
sire series of boulevards as fine as any in
the country they should be built from the
Indian mounds to Lake Phaien, thence to
Lake Como and on to the river bank. Pub
lie sentiment seems to be in favor of the es-
adjustment of large parks III ST. Paul. and if
we can acquire 200 acres at Lake Phalen we
would have one OF the prettiest parks in the
country. With Lake Phalen and Lake Como
parks and chain of boulevards, ST. Paul
would compare with any city in the matter
of parks and drives

KNOW THYSELF.
A st. Paul Authors Pleasing Lit
tie Brochure.

Modestly amongst the literature which
ushers in the autumn mood for mental
exercise is little volume by Harry De
Wallace, of st. Paul, entitled "Know
Thyself; or, The Value of Moral Pre-
cept." Mr.. Wallace is the official stem
ographer Of the municipal court, and
his rather thoughtful philosophy as he
sets it forth to the younger readers is
the work of leisure and study, the use
of which no young man ever employed
to- gre alter self-Satisfaction or in which he
could have done more nobly for his fell
lows. ''Know Thyself' is an analytical
study of that complex being we desig-
nate man. The author has thought
soundly and to great depth on the sub
ject of Self-culture. He dealsin no mar
row measure with mind and matter and
their radiating parts and functions. In
pleasing, easy, frank style he eX-
presses the truth which surrounds every
youngSter and every adult who exists
in this, the most superficial age of mod
ern times. He would so direct the eff
fort and study for misunderstanding as
to radically reform the wilful, listIess,
dash through an aimleSs life which,
at the present day. RACES in the youth
OF our country. Corporation Attorney

The volume is IN three parts. and its

ELECTRICITY EXPLAINS 1T.

An Intelligent English gentleman,
now resident of ST. Paul, incidentally
mentioned recently that during some
time spent in India he had more than
once witnessed the feats performed by
the Oriental magicians that SO battle at
tempts at solution. He and others had
the ground and conditions of their own
selection for the performance in which
the seed put in small quantity of dirt
under piece of cloth is made to germi-
mate and grow into large plant or tree
in few minutes. In the case of a
mango seed he not only saw but handled
the fruit 1t bore. A case Is atteSted by
reputable British officers in which the
seed was placed in the ground and grew
into tree before their eyes without any
cloth over it. The st. Paul party
ridicules as an absurdity the explana-
ton some have attempted in the way of
hypnotsm, but has no solution of his
own. A man in Massachusetts claims
that such results are possible without
deception, and that the agency that
produces the astonishing effects is cleo
tricity. He has been experimenting
with electricity IN promoting vegetable
growth, and results are credited to him
that almost warrant the belief that the
magicians of India employ it in their
feats. He insists that it is the life prin-
ciple, and, when understood and rightly
utilized, it will induce a rapidity of
growth that is startling. OF course it is
absurd to suppose that by any such
agency the mango seed can be forced
through all the stages of growth to the
tree in few moments. 1t is not in ac-
cord with experience; that is about all
that can be said. Science is voiceless
when Intercepted as to what life is or
how it acquires its momentum. If one
says he can apply vitalizing impulse,
potency, or whatever that will produce
the usual growth of months in a few
minutes, he may be pushed aside as a
humbug, unless he shows experiments
to warrant his claims. There is always
electricity in the air, as there is moist
ure, and may it not be the fact that
the growth of vegetation is the most
rapid when the Summer air is most heav-
lily charged with this force? If it does
stimulate vegetable growth, the posi-
bllities of the future are beyond easy
conception. Tropical productions may
be grown in any section and agriculture
revolutioniZed. No one knows all about
it, or is likely to just yet.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 9.-War-
rants were this afternoon issued for the
arrert of the five mercantile appraisers
of Philadelphia. The affidavit of City
Treasurer Wright, upon which the
warrants of arrest were based,
charges the five mercantile appraisers,
Messrs. Edward w. Patton, Albert
Crawford, Samuel f. Houseman, Harry
Hunter and James +. Bell, with unlaw-
fully conspiring to cheat and defraud
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania by
making and returning false and untrue
lists Of taXables; by making and re-
turning false and untrue returns of the
classification of such taXables; by max
ing false and unlawful exemptions of
persons from the payment Of mercantile
taxes; by adding the names of dead and
fictitious persons to the list of taXables
and receiving fees therefor, and in other
ways to cheat and defraud with intent
to make great gains for themselves.
Shortly after the warrants were issued

WILL THERE RE A Roo,9

The crowded streets at this holiday
season are well in keeping with the re-
ports which come from our wholesale
houses, and the kilograms sent over the
wires from every farm in this and the
two adjoining states. Trade in every
staple line of commodities displays the
most unprecedented activity, and the
owners funconvertible property, which
they have held now for many years in a
long deferred hope of escape, are ask
ing if the hour of their deliverance also
is at hand. ''Wlll there be movement
In real property and land stocks?" they
are inquiring, land shall we be able to
change into money the broad acres
which we bought so long ago and the
maintenance Of which has kept us
poor?" All sorts of answers and pre-
dictions are given in response, but the
prophet with credentials imposing
enough to secure him a hearing has
not yet appeared on the scene.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

tits worthy of note that the French
republic has the past week completed
its twenty-tirst year. The attainment
of that era in life is an important incl
dent in the political career of the Amer
can citizen. In the history of a great
nation it is ordinarily abriet passage.
1t is, however, good deal to France as
republic. In more than hundred
years it has had no form of government
that has endured so long. There has
been great doubt in the minds of the
friends of free government as to the
perpetuity of this system in France.
Its enemies were confident in their
declarations that it would not live
longer than some of the other
forms since the Bourbon overthrow
in 1889. But it has. The record sis
broken. The republic has not only
weathered the perils of more than two
decades, but it has given the people a
better political and social condition
than they have had. The affairs of the
state have been managed with more
ability than with king or emperor. and
in the cities there has been universal
freedom from disorder and outbreaks.
License has not taken the place of au-
thority. With general tranquility and
some advance in the development and
prosperity of the nation, no Important
war has been waged. Ithas been the
misfortune of the situation that the
vast war armaments have been required
to burden and Cypress the people.

JUDGE COOLEY'S RETIRE
NEENT

The resignation of Judge COOLEY
from the interstate commerce commits
sion takes out of the public service an
able and efficient man. The five judges
selected by Mr.. CLEVELAND for this
new court commanded from the begin
ming the Endorsement of the public as
peculiarly well qualified for their work,
and nobody in the country could have
been chosen filter TO preside over its de-
alterations than the Michigan jurist.
The problem of railway regulation had
for years demanded consideration
before any attention was given
it. and when finally serious
attempt was made to grapple with its
complexities in the CULLoM act, it was
still an experiment as to the feasibility,
OF which there was much doubt. The
expansion of business since the war and
the contemporaneous railroad develop
ment had made commerce dependent
on transportation, and at the same time
left every shipper at the mercy of any
combinations and conspiracieS which
railway managers might enter into, be-
cause they were free from legal re-
Straint or direction. 1t was in the power
of the railroads to build up and
destroy individuals and localities
at their will, and to shape the
course ana volume of trade accord
ing to their caprice. There was, all
along, a general recognition of the dan
gers of this situation, but it was no
easy matter to devise any plan by which
they could be avoided. Several sessions
OF congress passed in which the ques-
ton was debated without an arrival at
any conclusions; and, when the inter-
state commerce law was finally enacted,
1t was, in many quarters, regarded as
makeShift which might do some good,
but which, was much more likely 10
do great harm. The president con-
tributed what he could to help the
work when he named the commission,
and they have made it success
because of their devotion to their duties
and their skill in discharging them. 1t
is one thing to sit on bench surrounded
by traditions, and the responsibilities of
which are lightened by precedents and
rules of long standing; but it is quite
another matter to be the pioneers in a
new branch of Jurisprudence, without
authorities to guide or instances to sug-
gest. Judge COOLEY and his associates
have had to frame their own methods of
practice, have had to cover the whole
extent of the nation and have had to
solve problems of the profoundest diff
Guilty and delIcacy in the light of moth
ing more than what a very brief legis-
lative act gave them. There is not a
railroad man in the country to-day who
would have the commission abolished,
nor student of this greatest of modern
sciences who does not applaud the adj
mirable work it has done. Leading in
this has been Judge COOLEY, who has
crowned career as q thinker and
writer by his executive services of the
highest grade in this. the last post he
has been called OH to fill. The regula-
ton of railways is a science still in its
infancy, but no mans contributions to
its construction have been greater than

THE RAINMAKERS.

A prominent Texas paper has some
what different and not so encouraging
view of the efforts under the auspices
of the agricultural department to pro-
duce ram. AS the urgent need of great
portions of that state is freedom from
drought, any possibilities in the thing
would be encouraged to development.
But this paper is not stinted in its rid
icule of the work, and alleges that the
reports sent out were remotely con-
nected with the facts. If any rain fell
after the explosives were fired, it was
not in the vicinity of the operators.
The whole thing was regarded by the
observers as farce, although they
would be immensely benefited by its
success. If MELBOURNE is a humbug
also, nature will probably retain a
monopoly of the rain business. Per-
haps the water has first to be pumped
up into the atmosphere.
