ST. PAUL NOT BANKRUPT.
"Citizen' Giyes List of Her As
sets Worth Perusing.

To the Editor of the q lobe.
st. Paul to-day is blessed with sur
plus Of smart men, and, L might add.
chronic GROWERS. Even our wise
SoIons, selected as the embodiment of
the wisdom of the state, they, too, have
called on one of those smart experts to
find out how much our city owed.
Why, Mr.. Editor, could get cash
boy in any of our stores to make far
better report than this great expert, who
has been paid, | suppose, $40 day to
tell US that the city of st. Paul owes
S12,000,0 600.
But, unbusiness-like, he doesn't give
any assets. This report would convey
the idea to outsiders that we were i'll
debt and nothing to show for it.
Whereas. if he were fair and dill
gent worker, he would find assets as fol-
lows:
Our waterworks to-day can be sold to
any firm for the sum Of $5,000,000. Our
court house is an asset worth Sl.OO0,0 900;
if you did not have such building you
should rent, therefore, it must be
counted as an asset. Your fire depart
ment is at least worth another million,
because you need it, and, if you did not
have the apparatus, you should buy it.
Your schools are at least worth
s., 900, 900. because. if we did not have
them, we should pay rent, therefore it
is an asset in favor of the city. Ma
chinery, tools, ETC., for use of keeping
the city clean and walks in repair must
certainly be accounted for as assets.
Should all assets be properly credited
/ i don't believe we owe one cent that
cannot be honestly accounted for.
But then these people who clamored
! for improvements few years ago are
to-day the most vigorous in finding
fault with what they themselves urged,
| and even abused officials because they
would not hurry up such improvements
| as they then wanted. Look at this
| question in dispasslonate light and l
| think you will agree with me that as
yet we are all right. CITIZEN.

Enjoy Good Programme and
Hear Temperance Talk.
An open meeting of the Crusaders T.
A. society was held in Cretin hail yes
terday afternoon. The routine business
being disposed of, President Regain an
nounced the programme of the day,
which consisted of an overture by Miss
Fitzgerald, a vocal solo by Miss Fl.
Naughton. an address by John Cavan-
augh, in which that gentleman elo-
quently placed before his hearers the
advantages of total abstinence and
took occasion to sharply criticise
the practice of permitting saloons and
tifth-claSS theaterS to ply their nefariouS
avocations upon the Sabbath day. A
recitation by Miss Minnie Larkin, which
was warmly encored, was followed by
vocal solo by c. w. Mills, and an ad-
dress by Judge Corrigan, of Minneap-
Everyday Life" The gentleman, in
his usual easy style, discussed the tend
ency of the American people of
this age towards an undue de-
sire to acquire riches, and took
occasion to say that the business man
who neglectS to exercise his right of
franchise for lack of time is the person
morally responsible for most of the
abuse in politics of which we complain.
At the conclusion of the judges address
Mr.. Sawyer, of the Pioneer Press, was
called for and responded in happy and
thoughtful vein. The society has de-
cided to celebrate Washington's birth
day (Feb. 23) with high class concert
in Cretiu hall. Hon. j. w. Williams
has consented to deliver panegyric ON
George Washington upon that occasion.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Gen. r. w. johnson serves notice
upon the GLOBE and all the rest of
mankind that Grover Cleveland cannot
be elected our next president, even
should he be nominated by the Demo-
cratic party. Among other reasons he
gives is that with the Sun and 10000
old soldiers arrayed against him he cali
not carry New York, and that without
the vote of New York state he cannot
be elected In so far as the old soldier
array is concerned he makes middling
safe prophecy, and it applies with equal
force TO David b. Hill as it does to MIR.
Cleveland, or, in fact, to any and all
other Democrats that may be nominated
by that party. We think that that old
soldier, Senator John B. Hompe. was
right when he said that ''that old soldier
chestnut is being oyerdOne." That the
old soldier vote is an important factor
in politics we know, but that it is the
controlling power we deny.
When Winfield Scott Hancock, the
Cheyalier Bayard of the army, was
nominated for president, and when that
good soldier and good citizen, X. W..
johnson, was nominated for governor
of Minnesota by the Democratic party,
did the old soldiers rally to a man
around the standard of their old com
rades? No, indeed not; but they voted
| lust as most all of us do. for the men of
our party. That a majority of the old
soldiers of this state vote the regular
straight Republican ticket in opposition
| to the Democratic party cannot be truth
| fully denied. but that they voted right
| in voting against Hancock, Ames. john
son, Grant and other Democratic sold
ders is a debatable question. Gen.
| Johnson is forced by the logic of past
events to acknowledge that Mr.. Cleve-
| land gave us Il clean administration !;
| that he never fired hostile
gun, never killed buck In
dian, squaw, nor pappoose; yet he
says he cannot vote for him. Well,
| what does the man want? Is it the anti
| pode OF clean administration that he
Graves? If SO, we submit that the one
| now in power is furnishing Sufficiency
of dirt to satisfy the morbid appetite of
| even Diggar Indian. AS independent
voters the old soldiers are worthy of all
honor and praise, but when they become
bigoted partiZans, torchbearers of a sec
tional party and obey the orders of the
Hoar, Blaine, ingalls, and other blatant
selfish demagogues of their stripe. the
meanwhile receiving pensions collected
from all parties and persons and from
all sections of our country, why, they
become disgusting offensive, and cop
perheadS become respectable by the
contrast. The last dismal failure of
Mr.. ingalls, to ride rough-shod over the
farmers of Kansas upon the old soldier
racket sufficiently attests that should
Mr.. Cleveland or even the old soldiers
get in the way of the w ideaWake
granger they will get pitchforks.

FIRST REGIMENT JAUNT.
The Guard Will Go to New York
Instead of Into Camu.

There will be no encampment of the
First regiment, NJ. n. g., this year.
The law provides that each regiment
of the guard shall 60 into camp an
nualIy, but Col. Bend will marshal his
men on Broadway, New York city, this
year, instead of on the mosquito-ridd
plain i'll the vicinity of Lake City. Gov
Merriam, cOmmander-in-chie of the
state forces, has granted the regiment
the right to go to New York instead of
into camp, and most arrangements tor
the trip have been made. The eX-
penseS of the trip will be borne by
The regiment. A SPECIAL train will
be chartered, and the lads i'll blue will
go from ST. Paul to New York direct,
where they will participate in the an
nual national guard exercises held in
that city. AS result of this departure
from the usual order of things the state
saves $1,000 that being about the aver
age cost of the yearly encampment per
regiment. The various companies are
holding frequent drills, and when the
time for the trip arrives, the regiment
will be one of the most perfectly drilled
bodies of men in the country. 1t is I'M
derstood that over hundred friends Of
the citizen soldiers have already signi-
fed their intention of participating in
the tour, and the probability is that
when the time arrives two trains will be
necessary to carry the tourists.

HITS THE NEWSPAPERS.

l am glad The TINES has opened its COL
umns to the discussion of live, economic
questions, questions that are of interest to
the people. Everybody looks to the paper
for light concerning local as well as general
news 1 hope you will continue on this
line, live issues, and discuss them in a fair
and courageous manner The mistakes of
local county papers lie in the fear of step
ping on somebody's toes, losing q subscriber,
thus being controlled through their fears.
The paper is dwarfed and circumscribed
into q few locals like 'Mrs. Jones is visiting
Mrs. Smith," ''J0hn Blacks horse died."
''Thanks are rendered those who kindly at
tended the funeral of Jack Hinshard," etc,
several columns of such, and they then Won
der why people take metropolitan papers.
The shibboleth on today is past. THE
TINES has made a push in the right direc-
ton. Let it continue. Was glad to hear
from Stanley Parkill last week in THE
TIMES; his ideas are always good. We
have heard but little about water works or

In 81 Hours and 80 Minutes The D. NJ Estsy

The new factory occupies one of the most
available sites in the city. The Ann ArbOr
railway is Immediately north, the d., G.. II.
81 M. yards south, while the Mich. Central
spur is in close proximity. On this site was
completed March 18th, with so days work,
the immense three story factory above base
ment. The building, exclusive of engine
room and dry kilns, is 256xSO feet, contains
600, 600 feet of lumber, six tons of nails and
bolts aud one car of glass. Think of
the work done in less than a week, 60 car
loads OF lumber averaging 40,0 0 separate
pieces are all fitted together in 3, 45O minutes
or an average of 172 feet of lumber assum-
ing form every minute. Or behold, a pro-
lection of 1880 feet surface or If all Oh
ground surface would cover two acres, arising
in less than one week. The machinery Is to
be placed Immediately and one hundred and
fifty men will be making furniture by the
middle of April. In the construction of
this plant an average of about seventy men
were employed and each One seemed to be
filled with the enthusiasm of the quick COM
pletion. Each day Photographic views were
taken of the stages of the work. The en-
terprise which builds a factory in a week
