But the scene changes. More than a half
century has passed, during which we have
engaged in two wars, one with England, in
which we contested her sovereignty of the
seas, and the other with Mexico, resulting
in a large accession to our western terri
tory, already greatly enlarged by treaty.
In the meanwhile portentous questions have
arisen between the northern and southern
states threatening dissolution of the
Union. African slavery, that baneful Iega-
cy Of our mother country, had been cast out
of the northern states. where II had ceased
to be profitable, and had become more deep
ly rooted in the southern states, whose eli
mate and agricultural system were better
suited to its existence. A bitter contest
had consequently sprung up between the
sections over the balance Of power In the
administration Of the federal government.
This was made the more alarming by the
radical difference in the constructions given
to the federal system. BY the one party II
was held to be a government of a nation,
and that by the adoption of the federal Con-
stitution each state had merged a part of
its sovereignty into that Of the whole, which
could not be recalled except by successful
revolution. By the other party the federal
Constitution was held to be q compact be-
tween sovereign states, each Of which had

THAT COMING CAUCUS,

Which Is to Decide Who Is to Be
Building Inspector.
Assemblyman johnson, who is en-
gineering the caucus for the nomination
of building inspector. has not cou-
WINGED all the Republican city fathers
that it is necessary to have the caucus
held at once. The date suggested by
the Eighth ward aSSemblyman is Tues
day afternoon, Dec. 10; but number of
the councilmen are opposed to time be-
ing called on the caucus at so early
date. The election does not. come up
until the first week in January, and it is
claimed there is no particular need for
such hasty action as suggested by the
aSSemblyman who circulated the call.
One Of the aldermen, in conversation
Yesterday, said he had been informed
that the slate which would fix the per-
sonnet of the force, in case Gates A.
johnson was elected. had already been
made up and was in Assemblyman
Johnson'S inside pocket. Another alder
man, who was quoted by the assembly
man as being in favor of Gates A. john
sons election, stated yesterday that it
would be much more reliable if each of
the members of the council was allowed
to say who he favored for the position
instead of one person telling how al!
would vote. The opposition to an early
caucus will probably result in the date
being changed to the last week In De-
cember.

MUST REGISTER.
Chinese of ST. Paul VIII Be Called
UDOn

The collector of internal revenue has
received from Washington copies of the
new Chinese exclusion law. and also
blanks and instructions for registration.
All of the Chinese are required to reg
lister prior to May of next year, and TO
file with their registration their photo
graphs. The law requires even those
who registered under the old law to
register over. Chief Clerk Vars, of the
collectors office, will interview Dung
Chung on Monday, and try to impress
upon him the need OF complying with
the law. Dung Chung is very intelli-
gent Celestial. who has a laundry on
WabaSha street. He is the spokesman
for his countrymen in this city, and
they will be largely governed by his adj
vices. Not one of the Chinese in St.
Paul registered under the old law, but
all but one in Minneapolis. as well as
all others in other parts of the state,
registered before. All those who do not
register within six months after the
passage OF the law that was approved
Nov. 3 last, will be liable to deportation,
under oIderS given to the collector of
customs. The registration is in the in
trrnal revenue department. and the
deportation and entry are under the
direction OF the customs duties office.

POLL IC MAYOR,
Trimming His Sails to Catch a

RenOm1n alton.
The mayor is visited nearly every day
by persons interested in the appoint
ment of this or that man to the board of
fire commissioners. The vacancy will
occur on Jan. l. the term of j. G. Prem
dergast expiring Dec. 81. As the GLOBE
announced several weeks ago, the
friends of James Morrow, prominent
leader in labor circles, had requested
the mayor to appoint him to the posi-
ton. AT the time the mayor said he
would give the matter his attention
when he considered the other appIica-
tons. Since that time the mayor, as
fntimated to gentlemen who have called
on him in the interests of Morrow, has
said that If their candidate did not Sc
cure the fire commissionership, he would
be given something just as good. From
this it is understood that Morrow will
not be appointed to the fire board, bnt
as salve to his feeling, he will in
March next be appointed member of
the board of park commissioners, to
succeed Dan Aberle, whose term ex-
pires at that time.
From gentleman who stands close
10 the mayor 1t is learned that the va
cancy on the fire board, caused by the
expiration of j. G. Prendergast's term.
will be filled by the appointment of
Charles K. Sharood. Mi. Sharood is
member of the firm of Sharood & Crooks,
wholesale boot and shoe dealers on East
Seventh street. MIR. Sharood is resi-
dent of the First ward, and, as Mayor
Wright is trimming his sails for a re-

The coroner's inquest on the body of
Henry Rollins, who was murdered by
Henry Johnson Friday morning, was
held yesterday afternoon at Dafnpier's
undertaking rooms. The jury empan-
eled were John Burke, Frank Schune-
man, James Dillon, G., M. Miller,
Dwight Salntong and Charles E. john
son. The witnesses examined were
Mrs. frankie Rollins, wife of the MUIR
dered man; Laura Smith, with whom
johnson was living; DR.. Flnnell. who
assisted at the autopsy, and Patrolman
Carroll. As stated in the GLOBE yes
terday. the statements of Mrs. Rollins
and Mrs. Smith differed i'm detail as to
the alteration and fight just previous
to the shooting. Mrs. Rollins testified
that johnson had threatened bodily
harm to her husband a day or SO before
the murder, and that at the time the
fatal shot was fired johnson was not
acting in self-defeDse. as he could have
gone up stairs or out the front door OF
the house. Instead, he followed her
husband in their apartments and fired
three shots. The first shot did no dam
age, but the second killed her husband,
and then johnson fired another shot at
her.
Mrs. Smiths testimony was to the
effect that johnson and Rollins had
some words, and that Rollins then
started to get stove poker to assault
johnson. She claimed johnson was
sickly, and the shots were fired in self
defense. DIR. Finnell gave testimony as
to the results of the autopsy, and the
jury returned a verdict that Rollins
came to his death from bullet fired
from revolver in the hands of Henry
johnson.
Mrs. Rollins and Mrs. Smith were
taken to the central station after the
Inquest, and will be detained as wit
nesses. The law gives the coroner
authority to hold witnesses to testify in
such cases before the grand jury, and
unless the two women can give salts
factory recogniZaDce they will be de-
tanned until the meeting of the grand
jury in January. No trace of johnson
has been discovered by the detectives,
but it is claimed by the officers that
johnson is in hiding in this city or
Minneapolis. and that his apprehension
is but the question of day or so. The
remains OF the murdered man are st
Dampier's undertaking rooms and will
be he'd subject to the coroner's orders.

ANOTHER INSTANCE
Which Shows the ImbecilitY
Mayor Wright's administrator

Which Shows the ImbeciIitv of
Mayor Wright's Administration.
Yesterday gentleman of undoubted
veracity, who voted for Mayor Wright,
for which he says he hopes he may be
forgiven. informed the GLOBE of
story which goes to prove the utter in
competency of the police department
as at present constituted. The story
illustrates the fact very forclbly that
laWleSS characters can ply their games
tearlessly, because they know they will
have plenty of time to leave town aft
erwards. The victims in this case re-
side on Nelson avenue, and it is for the
sake Of saving them from unpleasant
publicity that their names are omitted.
The GLOBES informant has left the
names and address of the parties VIC
timiZed at the GLOBE office, where the
chief of police can refresh his memory,
as can the chief of detectives and his
honor, the mayor.
The story is as follows: On Friday,
Dec. l, between and O'Clock p. M,
colored youth, Ripper by name, aged
nineteen, stole $40 from house on
Nelson avenue, which consisted of
seven $40 gold pieces. Discovery of the
theft was soon made and the police de-
partner notified by els p. M, the same
day. The next day ID the afternoon
Saturday, Dec. q, letters were given to
Chief Garvin, which showed that the
thief had relatives at Cedar Rapids, To-,
and Galesburg. Ill. 1t was naturally
supposed that Ripper would flee to his
relatives, which he did, going to Cedar
Rapids. The chief of police. had he
aroused himself and promptly wired
the authorities there, bould have had
him arrested and brought back here.
Falling TO do so, Ripper is still free
man. In the evening of the day follow
ing the theft. at 6:25, Ripper tagged
a Minneapolis q st. Louis train Just
outside the city, which stopped, and
allowed him to board it, and by means
of which he escaped TO Cedar Rapids.
A colored man, who, for personal rea-
SONS, interested himself in locating Kip
per, learned the above facts from the
Minneapolis d st. Louis trainmen, who
knew the accused personally. On the
Tuesday following Klpper's escape the
police department was notified that he
was i'll Cedar Rapids, but failure to
notify the authorities there of Kipper's
presence, gave him chance to get
away.
The above is only one of many in
stances which go to prove that ST. Paul's
police department is totally inefficient
and absolutely incompetent to cope with
the criminal classes, or To protect Tie
community from them.
Unless Mayor Wright resigns. no
change for the better need be expected
until next June. -
