depend for their recreation and in
which they earn their livelihoods.
The word outrage falls far short of
characterizing the Immediate situation,
and if any one is interested in learning
of the impoSitions and cruelties which
modern corporations are capable of in
fiictng on the public, he has only to at
tempt trip on cold or stormy night,
such as we have recently experienced,
to one of our suburbs, in which we
have heretofore had such pride. If
any of them survive the ordeal
through which they are now passing, it
will be proof of vitality reassuring to
their owners. To get to Merriam Park

damp and fOul-smelling waiting room
perched by the street side until it
pleases the magnate who controls our
destiny to carry him on his way.
When these things have been brought
to the attention of the managers of our
system, they have treated our COM
plants with contumely and impatience
as though we were supplicants suing
for favor. 1t is time that they were
brought to realize that they are the
benefciaries of our bounty and not we
of theirs. We have given our street
railway company, practically without
compensation franchise ofincalculable
value. We have hedged it about with
immunity from all competition and
from every danger which could impair
its attractivenesS. We have asked moth

Sariff we pay it, it will give us the
accommodations we are willing to CON-

of every property owner is loud in its
demands that the present trifing with

Tough on a Union Parson.

Dr.David Norton tells good war story

Just after the battle of PerryVille, in
October, 1862, DR.. Savage was at one OF
his appointments to baptize some chill

sturdy Southern matrOn brought her
four children to the altar. ''Name this

his hand on the boys head. "Simon

OUR AUDITORIUM.

st. Paul proposes to have an audito-

built" -Litchfield News Ledger.
st. Paul has adopted plans for an ele-
CANT auditorium to seat 10000 people,
and in the event that the Democratic
national convention comes to st. Paul
the building will be built.-OrtonVille
Herald-Star.
st. Paul is going to have an audito-
rum whether she gets the Democratic
convention or not, and that respect the
movement toward securing the conYen-
ton has resulted in cookbook County

st. Paul has adopted plans for mag
nlhcent auditorium with a seating ca
pacity of from 10000 to 1900 people.
1t will be lacking in nothing, and its
expense will be about $50, 000.-Fari-
bault Democrat.
St Paul has started the work of build
ing an auditorium for the national DEM

not get the convention, then what will
become of the auditorium? The disap-
pointment would indeed be bitter.-St.
Peter Herald.
st. Paul is to have an auditorium
whether she gets the Acknowledgement

RIVALS IN THE RACE.

We announce with regret that Kansas

kidnaped.-New York Advertiser.
The Republican convention hall at
Minneapolis will seat 1900 people.
Perhaps by continual importantly one
or two men not pledged to shout for

The Herald and the News, the two
leading Democratic newspapers in Chi
cago, favor st. Paul for the national
convention. The tide seems to be set
ting strongly towards st. Paul.-Duluth

If anxious st. Paul should succeed in
getting the Democratic national eOnVen-
ton she would still be eclipsed by her
rival twin. The next president of the
United States will be named at Mime

If st. Paul should be fortunate enough
to secure the Democratic national con-
ventiOn she will have the advantage
over Minneapolis in having the conven.
ton that will nominate the next presi-
dent.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Milwaukee will make an earnest eff
fort to get the Democratic national con-
ventiOn. Heretofore the neighbOr of
Chicago has been extremely modest
about preferring requests of this kind.
Her efforts now will meet with the
more approval that it is not one of a
series of endeavors after everything
she deems within reach. = Chicago
News.
Milwaukee is a hustling, wide-awake
city, but when she promises in return
for the Democratic national convention
"a guarantee fund of 100000 and hall
that will seat $4,000 people" we feel
constrained to ask our neighbor town to
stop long enough to explain just where
Milwaukee is located in that hall.-Chi--

HOUSE COMMITTEES.

1t cannot be said that Speaker Crisp
has favored the South in the matter of
the most important cOmmittee.-Mii-
waukee Sentinel.
Mills seems fated to be thorn in the
side of the speaker. Crisp doesn't han
die him as well as Reed did, Detroit
Journal.
Mr.. Mills seems to be suffering from
reaction from the dispelllng of the delu-
sion that he was indispensable to his
party.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiSer.
- The house committees are so eonsti-
tuted as to emphasize the fact that
Speaker Crisp believes in the policy of
rewarding his friends and Furnishing
his enemies.-St. Louis Globe-DemO-
crat.
That he has carried out his contracts,
even beyond the spirit and the letter, is
the best that can be said of the speakers
manner of executing the job assigned.
Louisville Times.
There Is inevitable war between the
followers OF Crisp and Mills. That big
Democratic majority will be very seri-
ously handicapped by internecine feud.
Albany Press and Kniekerboeker.
On the whole Mr.. Crisp has made what
any fair critic will say is an excellent
committee list, though, as was perhaps
20 be expected, he has leaned toward the
members to whom he was indebted for
lis nominatihn in the caucus.-Detroit
Free Press.
We hope to see the day when the
house committees will be appointed by
the caucuses of the two parties. as the
senate committees are, and when the
speaker will be simply an officer of the
house and not the leader of his party in

Party Decay.

"Gath' has come across still another
reason for the late Republican defeat.
ClarksOn'S opinion Of Republican news
papers is generally remembered, but the
Republican leader who has contided in
MIR. Townsend pitches into the editors.
He says: 1.-The absence of self-deny-
ing, public-loving editors of the Repub-
lican press enters largely into our decay
as party. We had once Greeley, Ray
mond, Webb, Bryant, Weed, Dana
men not concerned with the counting
room. too capable and too congeni-
ally employed to ask compensation in
Office for their editorial devotion. In
these days the Republican editors are
either enjoying office abroad and avoid
ing any controversy which will subject
them to criticism, or are mad with the
party because it considered the editor
across the way more than themselves;
or are attachments or scions of rich fam
ilieS-the Shepards, MarQuands, Good
wins, etc, trying to escape from intel
lectual and social ObScurity by marking
their names on hoe press. We have no
editors out Of Office"

SHOULD THEY PROPOSE?

The question, Shall women propose?
which is being discussed in various
quarters, perhaps in lieu of the chest
nutty Is marriage a failure? may have
some Indictment in the approach of leap
year. Yet the pertinency of such sup
position is not apparent, as it is the
traditional and conceded right of women
TO adopt the interrOgative in the nuptial
prelude on that year. Perhaps it is re-
membered that after 1892 there is to be
no leap year for eight years. Still the
question involves a theory or fancy
rather than practical detail, at least in
this country. In the royal families
state considerations operate. In France
the families arrange the matter on COM
.merclal and social lines without the OPP
ton of the party whose interests are most
deeply involved. In this country and
Others of like domestic customs, the
women practically make the selection of
their matrimonial partners. The Subse-
Quent proposing is then a mere matter
of form. There of course, exceptions
to this rule. most numerous probably in
the regions East, where the sex so
greatly predominateS numerically that
IL Is ulluculI 10 oOldil ADEQUATE material
for husbands. Even there the women
who do marty are able to guide the
eligible to the proper channel. In the
general scope, the women inspire the
favored ones. They are not adopts in the
mysteries of the arts feminine if they
are unable TO weave the invisible cords
about the devoted victim. From the en-
trance upon their teens the glrls use the
boys to practice upon. The one who
has not "reminiscences of that sort that
have served to reveal the vulnerable
points in the masculine armor for use
at the later period is the exception.
There is no disparagement of their dec
OrOus reserve and wOmanly texture in
this. 1t is their legitimate training
school. When the serious era com es
they are equipped for it. They know
how to lead the chosen one to the for
NAL work. 1t is, then, of little practical
value to them to possess the right to
voice the formal delivery that has been
made possible. That seeming conces-
sion had, perhaps, better still be left to
crafty the men in their cherished de-
fusion.

THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM.

The statistics compiled by the census
bureau and given in a recent bulletin
in regard to street railways in the cities
are so far out of date as to serve but
for a Renaissance of what has passed
away. In June, 1890, the horse was the
chief motive force in use. The equine
had hardly begun to feel the electric
shock that was to drive him out. But
one or two lines in st. Paul were oper-
ated under the new system, and IN
hardly any Of the larger cities had
1t made any appearance. The past
year has been the revolutionary era
in this department. Except in the few
cities of the first class where the over
head wires were deemed too serious an
obstruction, the use OF electricity is
coming to be prevalent. The past week
the city council of Brooklyn, one of the
four largest cities. has granted the rail-
way companies the privilege to use the
} single trolley system or any other
deemed advisable. The saving for that
ity over the horse power is estimated
