Rabbi E. l.. Hess-Greater vigilance
and closer surveillance should distin-
guIsh the administration of public in
stitutionS than is found in the conduct
of our private affairs. A continuance
of our present policy of economy in the
expenditure of public funds will re-
store our city's Old-time credit. The
spirit of speculation, which ran so
strongly a few years ago, should be dis
cOuraged; economy in the home should
be encouraged. and the progress that
will follow will be substantial and posi-
tive.
Ignatius DonnelIy, Author-The
greatest need of the city of ST. Paul is
the possession of few broad-minded
statesmen, who can realize and pro-
claim that the ultima growth and
prosperity of the city depend upon the
success and happiness of the farmer of
this state: and not upon a lot of usur-
louS money-lenders, holders of watered
railroad stock and other nOn-producers
who suck the substance out of the peo-
pie and give them nothing in return.
Mayor Robert A. Smith, believe
this city will compare favorably with
any OF this continent in all that goes to
make up great city. We are finan-
claEly sound, our credit having been
always, and being at present, of high
order. Our educational facilities are of
the first order; our sanitary condition
is excellent. Protection to life and
property is secure, our social condition
the very best, and, Judging from the
number of places of public worship in
this city, | would say that morally and
religiouSly we reach nigh standard.
Rev. E. Z. Mitchell-In politics, to Sc
cure active and vigilant interest in a
clean, efficient city government, with
intelligent, courageous, systematic and
persistent application of all accepted
truths to all phases of municipal life.
Daniel R. Noyes-Our greatest mate

STRANGE EXPLOSION
Resulting in the Destruction of an
Aurora Avenue Building.

A fire, caused by mysterious explo-
sion, took place yesterday afternoon a
few minutes before O'clock at ass Au-
rOra avenue, the residence of E.. G..
Crossfeld. 1t appears that the house
was being fumigated with sulphur, after
cases of scarlet fever, when suddenly a
terrific explosion occurred in the room
when the fumigation was being carried
on. The flames spread rapidly, and
when the fire department arrived the
whole house was in blaze.
The adjoining house, 455, was also
damaged by fire, but 453. frame dwell
ing house, with contents, was entirely
destroyed. The damage done was
nearly $4,000, S700 insurance being car
ried upon the contents of the house.
W. Donaldson, of Donaldson a. Ogden,

sured. No one was injured by the ex-
plOSiOn.

Financial and Municipal Needs of
St. Pau'' was the theme discussed by
Rev. S. G. Smith at the Peoples church
yesterday morning. The number of
letters quoted was larger than usual,
and the sentiment expressed of greater
than ordinary interest. This was to
close the series of sermons, but
there will be one more. DR.. Smith said
tie had received so many suggestions
and criticisms that it was impossible to
consider them in one sermon; he, there
fore, would devote next Sunday MORN
ing to that purpose. All OF the letters
have been read, and there wlllsbe no
further reading next Sunday, but he
will state the points made and the
questions asked. and then add his com
ment as seemed proper. The church
was crowded and the interest in the
subject was very great. The reading
of the letters consumed considerable
time, even though the reading was
80 rapid that the auditors scarcely had
time to absorb the sentiments expressed.
Following were the letters:

Economical Administration.

EX-Gov. MARSHALL almost think the
greatest need of the city of st. Paul at
the present time is thorough reform in
municipal expenses. The burden of
taxation is becoming intOlerable with
those who own much real estate. Aside
from business property, and the better
class of residence property, taxes are
rating up our real estate. l believe the
city government in all its departments,
ii one capable man could control and
manage il, could be operated for two
thirds of what 1t costs. Why should it
be fortune to a man to hold the Office
Df city treasurer, register of deeds, Sher-
III, etc, for one OF two terms? A high
official told ME few years ago that his
election cost him $500, yet his Office
paid him well after all this expenditure.
The good times of four years ago got us
into habits of extravaganza; it is hard
to get out Of them. Real estate is sup
posed to be assessed at so to 90 per cent
bt lis value. Many holders freely offer
To sell at the assessed value. 1t seems
60 me that with the high license law,
with our churches, schools and Christian
and charitable organizations the moral,
educational and religious interests of
the city are in fair condition. An
honest and economical administration of
our public affairs, city and county gov
