SHOULD BE ELECTED.

The Board OF ubIic Works and
Engineer Should Not Be APP
pointiye.
There are many questions of local i'm
portance that | think are overlooked in
the excitement of a presidential and
state campaign. that would be well TO
bring before the public and have dis
cussed before legislative nominations
are made. Our city government, to
which | shall allude, seems to me and
ought to be the most all-absorbing topic
Of interest to the taxpayer and every
one interested In the general prosperity
of our city. 1t does seem to me and
Others who have discussed the matter
that many Of the appointive offices now
in the hands of the mayor should be
elective. TO begin with, the board OF
public works. comprising four men,
bers, should be reduced to three, and
elected by the citizen vote. 1t is GER
tain three members could perform the
duty of the Office, as such was the num-
Der prior to 1887; but in either case,
whether the number be three or four,
beyond all consideration that board
should be elected by the citizen vote.
As to the position of city engineer, it
is also certain that il would be for the
public interest 10 have that Office elect
i've. 1t would be a relief to The incpm-
bent Of that Office 10 be independent of
both mayor and aldermen, that he could
have the privilege III himself TO put
competent men in place TO do the city

not, and that incompetent men are

DRAMATIC DATA.

Tonight Robert Downing, who stands
as almost the only American tragedian,
will begin an engagement at the Metro
politan. playing "Virginius." Mr..
Downing has not been in st. Paul for
four years, during which time he has
made such strides in his profession that
a finished performance OF the great
Roman tragedy is assured.
Hoyt'S company concluded its engage
ment at the Metropolitan last evening,
giving the best performance of the Sc
ries, though to the smallest audience.
Lew DockStader'S Ministries, the best
minstrel organization Oil the road this
season. will occupy the boards at
the Metropolitan the latter part of
this week, beginning Thursday night.
The sale Of seats for this engagement
opens at the box Office this morning.
If any man in real life were afflicted
by tenth part of the troubles and veX-
ations that beset the Knott who was not
Knott in "a Knotty Affair."" as present
ed al the Grand last evening to house
which contained few empty seats. he
would be fiattened out in jig time. But
almost continual bursts of hearty laugh
complication unfolded itself in the
manipulation of John {. Rice and
fairly good company. While
there is much that is delightful
in the production, notably the Widows
Dance, the stage character limitations
Of Will Ii. Sloan, the terpsichorean
feats of Rice himself and the cornet solo
work OF Addie 3. Boas, some other
parts might be profitably dropped or
revised, especially the far from funny
play at caricature of Roman citizens
and some OF the utterly impossible
interplay in the first act. Much of
the scenery is very tasty, especially the
stage setting of the last act. Same bill
all the week.
An entire change of bill was given at
the Olympic yeste day, and Judging
from the large and demonstrative audi
ences both yesterday afternoon and last
night, the programme was a decided
success. Everything was applauded
from start to finish. The opening act,
entitled The Capital Prize" was rem
dered cleverIy by Miss Russell. Miss
Duncan and MIR. Montague. The new
songs and dances and the new special
ties in the olio met favor, but the house
went wild over "a Sen. ptOr'S Dilemma"
which is SO filled with conical situa-
lions that it created a roar of laughter
from beginning to end. Its pretty girls,
sparkling music an eomicalities capt
ured the house. Same bill all this week,
with matinee Saturday.

POLITICAL PRATTLE.

For the Eighth ward legislative NOM
ination William Kodger is at present
the only man mentioned by the know
ing ones of the large district west of
Rice street, and unless W. j. Freauey
can secure the Republican nomination
for sheriff handlly, he is liable to be MIR.
Rodgers opponent for legislative hon
OrS.
His friends say that DR.. Buckley, who
was suggested by the citizens party $50
called) for coroner. is Democrat, but
will not be a candidate if Dr.. Quinn is
in the field. Republican papers have
called Dir. Buckley a Republican be
cause they knew that would lnJure his
reputation.
The latest name mentioned in con-
nection with the Democratic nomina-
ton for sheriff is that of Gen. Il. w.
johnson. The general has been Demo-
crat for long lifetime and has seldom
been candidate, but his friends say he
will make the race if nominated.
OF the several candidates named for
the Democratic nomination for abstract
clerk, e. {. Ives at present appears to
be reasonably certain OF nomination,
his chances being admittedly strength
ened by the action of the Peoples party
convention yesterday.
There is great difference of opinion
as to the probable vote 10 be cast in the
county by the Peoples party. Conserv-
alive men place the total at 1.500, but
the enthusiasts of that party are away
up in the sky. and claim as many as
5000 or LOGO.
William Koch is candidate for the
legislature in the Fifth ward. HIS name
has been brought out in the nature of a
compromise. and it is understood he
will have no opposition in his party.
Knute Nelson, the wheat ring candi-
date for governor. will make the attempt
to fire the Republican heart at Market

Portland.
PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 1S.-The Odd
Fellows spent the day quietly. many of
them being tired from their long jour
ney across the continent and the eXcur-
sion of yesterday. which occupied the
greater part of the night. Special SER
vices were held in a number OF the
churches today, and were largely at
tended by the visitors. The sovereign
grand lodge will begin its sixty
eighth annual session tomorrow.
Among the important questions
to be considered are several that were
either reported adversely by the commit
tee to which they were referred or
defeated at the last session. Among
those is the proposed amendment to the
constitution reducing The minimum age
OF admission to the order to eighteen
years. The question of the propriety
of admitting saloonkeepers to the order
will also come up for consideration. A
series of amendments to the constitution
proposed last year reducing the
name of the sovereign grand lodge to
sovereign lodge, Independent Odd
Fellows" and the titles of the officers
by emitting grand" will be probably
brought up again at this session. The
grand parade will occur tomorrow at

now, just at the present time, when
cholera is gaining all entrance into our

then make the cleaning of said alleys

rather work harder and pay little more
