NEW PARKS.

After years of struggling the aesthetic
spirit in ST. Paul seems to have gained
the ascendency over the powerful bread
aud butter tendency. At last we are TO
have some parks; OF we are In falr
way to have them. No city of our size
in the land is so destitute in this respect
as we. Ever since the completion OF
the interurban line we have seen thou
sands of our people going almost daily
to our sister city for the outdoor recrea-
ton they could not find at home. And
in spite of this it has been next to i'm
possible to arouse sufficient sentiment
to back the park board in a forward
step. Many thousands Of dollars of st.
Paul money have been spent elsewhere
every summer, which would have re-
manned at home had we the park ad-
vantages other cities enjoy. And
for all this the park board has
been compelled to rely as much
upon nerve rs public sentiment to
take the step of its last meeting.
Is is not likely that land will ever again
be as cheap in ST. Paul as at present.
The park board has not accepted any
park site at price fixed by the owners;
but simply passed resolutions to have
the lands covered by certain sites con.
demned. In the work of condemnation
the board will have no part. This work
will be done by the board of public
works. and as the latter body is COM
posed of heavy taxpayers and shrewd
business men whose integrity has never
been questioned, it is fair to presume
that they will not for moment permit
any fictitious and prospective values to
be saddled upon the city.
The selection of the Phalen site is
most commendable. The plan to be
carried out will give the city two beau
tiful parks-one at Como, and the other
at Phalen-connected by boulevarded
driveway 100 feet wide. Both lakes
will be surrounded by boulevards, and
both parks will have pavilions and all
the means OF amusement found at first
class parks of this order.
st. Paul aspires to become manu-
featuring city. There is now every rea-
son to believe that we shall realize our
ambition, and SOON have among us
great multitude of labOring people. 1t
therefore becomes matter of the ut
most Importance to be provided with
parks where they can find satisfactory
Sunday recreation.
1t is a matter of much surprise that
any responsible person could be found
in the city who is not ready to promote
the project, at least with his voice. But
1T seems there are some ready to resort to
almost any measure to defeat it. Aid.
FRANKLIN steps to the front with an
effort to have the park board legiSlated
outof Office. 1t is to be hoped his effort
will receive the public rebuke it de-
serves.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

A Minneapolis artist took picture of
| Hon. Michael Doran, distorted the torso
| and lower limbs, put kink i'll one eye
| and a wink in the other, and the Times
| printed 1t with an explanatory note
| that it represented Hon. =. III. Kelly
making a speech. Mr.. Kelly is not at
all a homely man, and is we'll rounded
in physique. He says he is willing to
| furnish photograph to any newspaper
desiring to picture him as he is, but as
Mr.. Doran makes no pretenslons to
beauty the Second ward war horse OBJ
iects to having substitute forced to do
duty for him.
The big curling bonspiel, strange to
say. has not interfered with Bill Rod
gers attendance on the legislature. The
Eighth ward man, dearly as he loves
Auld Scotia's game, would not have
missed chance to vote for Dan Law
Ter for Victoria's castle in the high
lands.
The difference in the imanner of
answering roll call was very marked.
Some senators voiced their preference
in loud, decided tones, while others
could hardly be heard. Every one of
the dissatisfied Republicans answered
in a tone distinct and ringing.
When the names OF p. II. Kelly, DON
nelly. Keller and other we'll known men
we've called there was a craning of
necks to get glimpse OF them. Mott
also was in demand, but as curiosity.
He answered to his name almost too low
to be heard.
The ladies scattered among the mem
berS lent a relieving aspect of bright
color to a wandering glance over the
packed house, and here and there
fresh and pretty face showed the young
er generation of women is not entirely
uninterested in political strife.
Though the Republicans won the day,
many felt that the Democrats and Popu-
lists, voting SOlidly for principles al
most identical, were the moral victors
in the broadest sense.
Strangers wondered bit that in Mr..
Davis own county only two supporters
had been carried to position where
they could aid him at such trying mo-
ment.
"I'm sorry this fight ended so soon,"
remarked Representative Ougstad. II
wanted 1T to continue week at least,
for the fun there was in it,"
Charley Gilman, slick but rugged
stayed to the, finish perched near the
speakers stand.
Dave Clough and Speaker Lee looked
like splendid pair to draw to. but the
pity was the lieutenant governor had no
vote.
The cheers for:Dan Lawler were Civ
en- heartily, and by partisans of all po-
litical shades.

OPENING FOR TANNER1Es.

No city in America affords such an
opening tor the tanning industry as st.
Paul. The business mems union is
equipped with figures showing that the
hemlOck bark can be had in st. Paul at
about one-third less cord than i'll Mil
waukee, that hides are about half.
cent a pound cheaper, and labor no
dearer here than there. Milwaukee is
one of the heaviest tannery cities in
America, and gained its prestige
through the fact that hemlock bark and
hides could be procured there at less
money than in other cities where the
industry prevailed. The union asserts
without fear Of contradiction that there
is no other opening like this i'll the
United States.
The tanning business is profitable,
and it employs great many men in
proportion to the capital invested. The
boot and shoe aud the harness indus
tries in st. Paul are growing into
large proportions. and the prospect is
hattering that before many years the
output of such factories here will be
one of the largest among the cities of
the nation. Our boot and shoe and har
ness factories are compelled TO buy
their leather either at Milwaukee or
farther east. The hides go from st.
Paul East, are converted into leather
and sent back to us. Had we tanneries
here, the double freight business would
be at an end, and our manufacturers
could sell proportionately cheaper.
1t seems that not long ago the pros
pect was hatteripg that we should have
a large tannery. Parties came with
money to put up factory with a CAPT
tai stock of about S250,O0O, A place was
chosen in a remote locality, and the bar
gain with the real estate owners about
completed. Some parties who owned
real estate not far away from the pro-
posed site sent committee to MilWau-
kee to ascertain whether tanneries
were offensive. The committee re-
turned and reported that they are
somewhat. The property owners OBJ
jected to the factory being placed there,
and finally the parties left the city in
disgust.
Tanners say that the old-fashioned
tannery was an offensive institution,
but that the modern. tannery is not more
offensive than a boot and shoe factory.
The business mems union manifests
determination to procure for St. Paul
large factory in the near future. The
industry, once started here, must nat
urally develop into great magnitude.

NEW YORK CRAFTSMANSHIP.

The GLOBE takes but little stock in
the reported disagreement between the
Democratic leaders Of New York and
Mr.. CLEVELAND. On all matters in
volving the principles upon which the
government should be administered,
these gentlemen will be found in hearty
accord. And this is the essential. If,
upon the question Of distribution of
the federal offices. there should be a
serious division among the potential
leaders Of the party in the Empire state,
that will only prove that these men are
neither statesmen nor great party lead
ers: and disruption and defeat of the
party will follow. This local disagree
ment among the leaders in New York
admonishes the Democracy of the couu-
try that permanent success for the party
can only be achieved through its
triumph in the Northwestern states.
Iowa and Minnesota must be added to
Wisconsin aud Illinois. The people of
these four states are homogeneous
personally, socially, and in all business
interests

SAVING AT THE spIGOT

There is danger that there will be
only shallow pretense Of reformation
of our pension laws. The proposal to
abolish the agencies which now dis
tribute the pensions, and putting the
work on the treasury department, is one
indication. Proposed Investigations to
weed out the frauds is another. While
there was this saving at the spigot, the
waste at the bung would go Oh un-
checked.
The great reform needed is return
10 the only true principle of pensions,
and the sharp, impartial application of
1t to the present roll and pending cases.
That is that no pension should in any
case be granted where the person
has means of self-support, either
In accumulated property, a sal
Rry or otherwise. The basic idea
of pension is first. worthy service
next, dependence. II the service was
not honorable and soldierIy it should
form no basis for pension. If the SOL
dier has property, if he is making a
living, he does not need the aid, and
should be ashamed TO ask or take it.
Such case has DO moral ground to

Jacobson's Bill to Be RECON-


Jacobson's Bill to Be RECON-
mended for Passage.
The house committee on grain and
warehouse met yesterday afternoon to
consider the bills referred for their con-
sideration since. the beginning of the
session. House File SO. introduced by
Mr.. Jacobson, consumed so much time
that NO other bill was considered. The
bill is to provide for the erection of
public grain warehouses and elevators
on the right of way or public railroad
corporations and contiguous thereto,
and prescribing condemnation proceed
ings in connection Herewith.
Mr. jacobson explained the object of
his bill to be to establish free market
at all stations. By the establishment of
independent warehouses, he said. hun
dreds or thousands of dollars had been
saved to the small farmers of the state.
Mr.. Cotton called attention to the fact
that the bill provided for condemnation
of railroad land in cities as we'll as towns
and villages. 1t was explained that
House File "a would deal with that
phase of the question, as it will except
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.
Mr.. Ongstad analyzed some of the
complaints Of the farmers, he tracing
the establishment of the elevator COM
bine and the agreement for dockage and
price. The railroads refused to en-
courage Independent elevators. 1t sites
were secured side-track facilities were
refused. The so-called calamity howl
ers" wanted simply free and open
market.
Messrs. Ives and Cotton were ap-
pealed to on legal points, and after sew
eral unimportant amendments the COM
mittee decided to recommend the bill
for passage, after which the committee
adjourned at the call of the chairman.
The committee OIL education will meet
at p. m. Friday, when hearing will
be given to all parties desiring to speak
on measures before the committee.

To the Editor of the Globe.
AS Democrat | desire to thank you
for your timely editorial in Fridays
issue On the action of the Democrats in
the house in voting an Endorsement of
Washburn's option bill. They certainly
ran like sheep to the shambles.
The Congressional Record shows that
thousands OF farmers in Kansas, Iowa,
Nebraska and the Dakotas haye semi
petitions to congress asking for COM
mttee to investigate the combine now
existing between the millers, railroads
and elevators, and formed for the pur-
pose of depressing the price of grain.
They further set forth in these petitions
that one elevator trust alone in Mime
sofa and North Dakota OWNS 40 ele-
vators, and that four elevator trust
companies about own all the elevators
in the two states, and that the price of
wheat for all the elevators is controlled
by one man.
The memorial of these farmers farther
says that the WaShburn-Ratch option
bill is the cry of ''stop thief" If there is
a Democrat in the senate with any
Democratic blood in his veins. when this
resolution is reached, asking tor al in
uOfSeInenG ot tHlS opium Dlll' He Will
move as an amendment memorial
praying for the appointment of con-
gressional investigating committee, as
above set forth.
If the Democratic party wants genuine
Democratic farmer votes, the way in
dicated above is the way TO get them.
No matter if the resolution is defeated,
it will leave good effect. Do not be
afraid, brother Democrats. Introduce
the amendment, demand the ayes and
noes, and put the Republicans on
record. Yours, TRUE DEMOCRAT.

wEDDED TO IT'S IDOL.

CUSHAIAN X. DAVIS is returned by
the Republicans of Minnesota to the
United States senate. The GLOBE con-
| graduates the Democracy of the state
| on the event. In times past Minnesota
| Republicans have shown symptoms OF
| repugnance to the ultra doctrines which
| have been gaining strength for ten
| years in that party, and now dominate
! it. The master spirits Of the party in
this state have followed the lead of the
| extremists and turned their backs on
the free trade tendencies of their party
in the past. The party in the last cam
paign was hitched to the car of the tariff
barons, and followed obedient in the
| rear, shouting the glories Of protection.
There was reason to expect that the
result of the November elections, with
their crushing defeats, would have a
SOLDERING effect on the local managers
and make them try to restore the party
to its old position at the earliest oppor-
tunity by selecting some representative
of moderation to succeed Mr.. DAVIS. 1t
was their opportunity, and the GLOBE
was apprehensive that they would en-
brace it,
But Minnesota Republicans are wed
ded to their national idol. They propose
to stand with MCKINLEY for Mckinley
ism. They propose to win or lose OIL
They take the first chance since the
election to declare this, and emphasize
it by selecting for senator the man
whose record Identifies him not only
with protection, but with that
misrepresentation of which protection is
but one OffShOOt.
III his support of the force bill he rep
resents Republican assault on the re-
served rights of the state, which, if sue
ceSsful, would put armed federal super
yisors at all our polls. In his support
Of The MCKINLEY bill he Identifies him
self with that sOcialistic party which be-
lieveS that it is right to tax the people
to make profitable a few favored indus
tries.
In his attitude to the Pacific roads and
all corporations he represents that sub
Serviency his party shows everywhere
to wealth and to power.
In selecting him for its senator the
Republican party tenders again to the
Democracy battle OH the line on which
we have won such signal victories else
where, and on which we will win here
when the scales fall from the eyes of
those deluded opponents of paternalism
who have been urging desultOry and
isolated fight against it.
The GLOBE thanks its adyersaries
and congratulates its fellow workers.

One word at time, and the greatest book

One foe at time, and he subdued,
And the conflict will be won;
One grain at a time, and the sands of life
Will slowly all be run.
