THE METHOD EMPLOYED.

Since then the SIM has followed the
subject up, and although statistics and
the analysis of them are dreary affairs.
the interest excited by the figures for
ST. Paul prompts the GLOBE to give a
summary of what it has found. Its re-
suits directly affect New York alone,
but their bearing on st. Paul's case will
appear as they are recounted. 1t appears,
then, that in order to get at the total
cost of maintaining municipal govern
ment for the purposes of the bulletin
the census department selected 1899 as
the representative year, and in the first
place compiled all that each city in the
list had expended for schools, public
libraries, fire department, health, light
ing. police. charitable objects, streets
and bridges, sewers, public buildings
and improvements, parks and public
grounds. salaries of judicial. legislative
and general executive officers, water
supply, miscellaneous demands and In
terest on debt.
As the Sun very clearly points out,
the total OF the figures secured by the
addition of these items would not rep
resent in any fashion the cost of run
ming the city government. If city of
100000 people, for instance, should have
erected in the year 1889 a million-dOllar
court house, according to this system its
per capita outlay would appear as 81
more than that of another city of the
same size which had no court house or
had erected one the year before. But
the erection of a court house cannot be
properly classed as an expenditure at
all. 1t is an investment, not an ex-
penditure, and has no more right TO be
included in such a calculation than

CENSUS BULLETIN NO. 50.

The New York Sun was the first pub
lie newspaper to call attention with any
emphasis to ROBERT p. PORTER's now
notorious Census Bulletin No. 81. This
is the bulletin, it viii be remembered,
which purpOrts to give the annual in
comes and expenditures of a number of
the largest cities in the United States.
st. Paul enjoys the unenviable pre-em-
inence of heading the list with an al
legged annual expense account equIYa-
lent to S27.6l for every man, woman and
child within its bOrders-a figure in the
most startling contrast to those given
for other places of its approximate size,
like Denver, for example, which ap-
pears with an annual expense &C
count of only s4.52 per capita,
or Kansas City, which appears with
an annual expense account Of only
S7.O5 per capita. Directly after
St. Paul comes New York, which. as
the bulletin states, spends for the main
tenance of its municipal government
every year a sum which, divided among
its inhabitants, would require from each
one contribution of $3.50.
Commenting on the general showing,
the Sun, in the first place, went no fur
theI than to say that, as far as New
York was concerned, none of the stats
tics of the PORTER census amounted to
anything, because its enumeration of
the city's population was purposely and
admittedly incorrect. The population
as determined by the census department
falls 100000 below the real number as
fixed by a count made under the super
vision of the local authorities, and if,
instead Of calculating on the basis
of 1.5OO,O00 inhabitants, the calcu-
IatiOn had been made on the basis of
the true figure, 100000, even granting
that the total annual expenditures of
the city were as stated in the bulletin.
New York, instead of following ST.
Paul, would have fallen S2.16 per capita
below Boston. which appears in the
list with an expense account of S23.74
to the head. The Sun agreed with
everybody else who knows anything
about the subject, that no reliance could
be placed on any figures of the census
of 1890, because they had been compiled
without intelligence and in a spirit of
partisanship and favOutism. And such
conclusions apply to st. Paul as well
as to New York.

The Alliance Executive Adjourns
~ After Passing a Resolution.
The executive committee of the state
Alliance met at the Merchants yeSter-
day morning, and after discussing the
twlne question and the refusal of the
prison board to reduce the price of the
article made at Saltwater, proceeded to
the transaction of a mass of routine
business. 1t was decided to furnish
Secretary Robert Schilling, of the ma
tiOnal committee of the Peoples party,
with list of all officers of the various
Alliances, and thens after passing the
following resolution, the meeting adj
jOurned:
Whereas, the Peoples party of the United
States of America was organized in Cincin-
natl in May last to carry,ou the principles
and purposes of the Farmers Alliance of
Minnesota and other states and 10 protect
the producers of the nation in the enjoyment
OF the fruits OF their own labor; and, whereas,
the Peoples party has been organized by the
establishment of a state central committee
of the state OF Minnesota; and. whereas,
said committee is without funds with which
to place speakers in the field and distribute
documents and assist the national commit
tee in It's great work, and mas made an ap-
peal to the members OF the Alliance and of
all industrial organizations to contribute to
a campaign fund; therefore.
Resolved, That the executive committee
of the Farmers Alliance requests the pres-
dents and secretaries of the county alliances
to bring this matter up at the next meeting
and take up a collection for this purpose,
and appoint a committee to call upon mem
bers, and we urge uyon all friends of reform
that without money for legitimate expenses
the Peoples party will be greatly hampered.

Now that the clouds have in a meas

between members of This committee,
but can any one recall state central

did not contain men of different views?
There are bound to be factions in all

with far less to fear on this score than
either of the old parties.
1t is an able committee; an ADLER one

Minneapolis in March, 1890, and
as to the current rates for
tickets to Chicago at that time. A tick
ct sold March II of that year was pro-
duced, which was sold for 81, whilst
the unlimited rate was S11.50.
Mr.. Hay sought to show to show that
this 81 ticket was an unlimited first
class ticket, good to be used at any time
within series of years.
Upon eross-eXaminatiOn by Judge
Lusk, the witness stated that about
that time there was sharp cutting in
rates to Chicago by several roads. The
Burlington was then selling an unlim-
tied ticket to Chicago for So. The Kan
sas City had three rates for tickets,
namely: Sl1.50; special limited, 81; and
second-class, S4.35.
Herman Brown, of the st. Paul union
depot, testified in line similar to that
of Mr.. Martin.
General Auditor M. G. Healim, of the
Kansas City. was called by Mr.. Bay to
show the sale Of tickets. Judge Lusk
said it would be admitted that there
had been sold to Charles IL. Petsch, of
St. Paul, 5000 tickets at ST each, and
that the Kansas City had been paid the
$4,000 therefor. Mr.. Hay asked what
had become of the tickets and was in
formed that some of them had been
taken up in the course of traffic by the
road and destroyed, but that some of
them are still out. Judge Lusk fur
nished samples of the tickets used in
March of last year, and they were identi-
fed as auch by Mr.. Healim. Asked as
to the distinction between the tickets,
Mr.. Healim said the S1l.50 ticket was
unlimited as to time and was first-class.
The ls7 ticket was first-class, but limit
ed as to time.
Charles II. Petsch testified as to pur-
chasing the 5000 tickets and said he had
paid the money therefor to General Pas
senger Agent G. ii. Holdridge. He had
asked for special rate tickets and Mr..
Holdridge said he would sell them to
him as limited tickets. He identiiied a
ticket shown to him as being one of the
81 tickets and said it is not
The Regular Ticket,
but special form of ticket. When he
asked to purchase the block of tickets,
he debated the matter for day or two
before purchasing. He understood that
the tickets were limited as to time and
did not entitle the holder to stop
over privileges. In response to
cross-examInation by Judge Lusk
Mr.. Petsch said the tickets were first
