THE JOBBERs, UNION.

ST. Paul has every reason to be proud
of its jobbers' union. 1t is one of the
most active and powerful organizations
in the city. 1t has ninety-four mem
bers, twenty of whom joined during the
past year. The annual meeting of Sat
urday was attended by almost the entire
membership. Hon. P. II. KELLY was
elected president, and GERHARD BONN
and j. w. COOPER vice presidents. Mr..
KELLY is one of our oldest and most
successful wholesale merchants. All
that he is he has made himself by his
remarkable energy and business acu-
men. He does nothing half-heart-
edly; he believes that whatever is
worth doing at all is worth do
ing well, and he enters into it
with an enthusiasm that insures sue
cess. The union has not only con-
ferred upon him a well-earned honor.
but secured for itself a leader who will
overlook no opportunity for effective
action and inspire the body to follow
him. Better men could not have been
chosen to cooperate with Mr.. KELLY
as vice presidents than Messrs. BOHN
and COOPER. They are both enegetic
and shrewd business men, and they
will be ever ready to devote time to the
success of the union. The nnion has
accomplishments in view which will
increase the strength of st. Paul as a
Wholesale center. 1t is progressive and
aggressive, and no obstacle can stand
long in its way. Long live the jobbers
| union.

SEEMS LIKE SPRING

In this latitude it is not safe to spring
spring editorial in March, as the un-
happy experiment of a contemporary
proved last year. Therefore. it is ONLY
the intention here to suggest that this
looks like spring. 1t is almost unsafe
TO do this, for quite as likely as anyway
before the suggestion appears in print,
old BOreas will be engaged in one of
his greatest efforts. But it is perfectly
safe 10 say that Sunday st. Paul was
treated to breath of balmy spring air.
Everybody aValled himself of the op-
portunity for an outing, and made the
best of the bad condition of the streets.
The winter has been severe and tedious
and the day was a respite at least for
which we are thankful.
To many, such a winter seems like q
scourge. But, instead, it is a blessing
which flows from the fullness of Nat
ure's heart. 1t is true, we could stand it
If Natures heart weren't quite SO full
sometimes; but we must take it as il
comes, and feel thankful that it wasn't
worse. If mature will please to give us
spring now in dead earnest, we will call
1t square and make no more faces at
her. About all our enjoyments in life
come through contrasts, and we are in
condition to enjoy spring immensely.

RAILROAD LAND TAX.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Your paper is we'll known for its
fearless and honest, as well as able
advocacy of any opinion you hold. Il
always read it with delight. even when
Isee, or think do, reason to differ from
it's conclusions. have watched what
you have to say upon the railway land
question. and can we'll understand the
feelings of men in the counties in which
the larger yart of these lands are. l
have read with care the law, and 1t does
look to me as if the per cent tax does
take the place of all other taxes, was so
intended, and has been so understood
and accepted by the state and by
the railways. We know we'll, of
course, that even the opinion of Mr..
Childs is not infallible, and any action
which should repeal or abolish the
gross earnings tax, which i'll the very
nature of things must bring in more
money every year, would be terrible
mistake; for 1t is all easy, swift, sure
plan OF tax. In any case, the lands
which are now the cause of dispute will
be sold as the years go by. A bill to
give the counties their share of the
per cent tax would give them relief
asked, so it appears to me, ana would be
just. We all may rest sure that moth
ing less than justice will abide. whether

THE AMERICAN LEG.

Inaugural Day Afforded Great
Opportunity for Its study.
New York Sun.
1t was memorable day for the study
of the American leg. The women had
so much to do to hold their umbrellas
and to dodge the puddles that they un-
consciously produced grand revela-
ton of the underpinnings Of half OF our
great nation. By all odds, the stanch-
est. sturdiest legs were those of the
German matrOnS. who are here by the
ten thousand. Mr.. Keppler, of Puck,
would award the palm to these sub
stantial pedestalS, for in the school OF
art in which be was trained it held that
such legs. thick at the ankle and grow
ing big with the straight lines OF an in
Verted pyramid. are the true standards
of this part of female excellence. Such
judges would say Louise Of Prussia, the
prettiest German woman who ever
lived, was carried through her life
upon such legs, and what were
good enough for her must be
good enough for our goddess COlum-
bia. There were the legs of the mount
ain girls from West Virginia and Ken
tucky, and they seemed extremely
W CJCOs lICOSs
too, were sturdy and large, and experts
on the subject could afford to wager
that they were as hard as the rocky soil
upon which they were developed. But
in place of the straight lines Of the Ger
mon leg, these Southern limbs exhibited
artistic curves, such as PraXitileS once
loved to carve out of marble. There
were thin, spiritual legs of the wives Of
Massachusetts and Connecticut, thor
Oughly intellectual and befittingly slen
der. There were the straight up and
down legs of the matrOnS of Philadel-
phia, and the strange legs from Illinois,
whose peculiarly is that the feet be-
meath them are just half as long as
themselves. Finally, there were the
beautiful. aristocratic, high-bred legs
that had come from the valley of the
Hudson, and that are all alike from New
York city to Troy.
Strange fashions marked the garnish-
ment of this assembly of the legs of the
nation. The prettiest limbs. those from
invariably seen to be covered with black
stockings; those from the Gulf states,
especially from Jacksonville, Mobile
and New Orleans, were clad IN soft
colors, solid red, solid pink, all blue,
ana even in plain white. The legs from
the Atlantic coast, between Savannah
and Baltimore, were clad in striped
stockings. These were the leftover
stock that was not sold in New York
when stripes went out of fashion years
ago. This subject made an interesting
study, but it was accompanied by the
disappointing fact that the only legs
that were seen were those of married
women. 1t always has been and ever
must be strange thought that young
madens are so clever in managing their
dresses, while married women are care
less to the same degree. No maiden
disclosed more than shoe top lii
Washington today. Few matrons
showed less than stocking.

OUR NASTY STREETS.

The outrageous condition of our
streets is IneXcusable. The crossings
are sloppy, and on many of them are
holes filled with slush. 1t is not an un-
common thing to see pedestrians step

ankle-deep in the snow and water
Such a delusive spot has held forth
several DAYS at the crossing of Mime
sofa and Fifth streets. and there are a
good many like it scattered through the
business districts. 1t would be difficult
to clean up all the Snow and dirt from
the streets, but it would be an easy mat
ter to keep these holes drained, and
the crossings clean. There is no ap-
parent effort to do this. 1t looks as
though the public will he compelled to
wade through slOp and slush until the
