water and it is nc wonder that he sticks
to the water business, which he has been in
since 1870.
Yes, more than twenty years have passed
since John Caulfield entered the service of
the private company which used to operate
the water works system of st. Paul. When
the city purchased the plant in 1852, Caul-
field was included in the bargain--so the
city has had good man ever since.
Seriously, John Cauifield is the most per
fectly posted man N ST. Paul in all the de-
tails of the water department. and his serv-
ices could not well be spared. He is cour-
teous gentleman, always pleasant genial,
generous and obliging. His heart is as big as
the great engine in tho pumping station, and
IL does heap more good. And THAT'S saying
good deal when you think of the homes
that great engine has saved.
Mr.. Caulfield is Democrat although he is
not politician. He is q business man, ali
the time and all the way through. He is in
terested in several of the best business enter
prises in st. Paul, and his shoulder is always
to the wheel that advances the city.

VERY CONVENIENT.

Those who desired to work sentiment
in favor of getting more money for the
fire department. despite the provisions
of the charter, had very convenient
circumstance i'll their favor, and they
have used it to the best advantage. Let
tiers of fire insurance agents threatening
an advance of insurance if the depart
ment were reduced have been flying
around at an alarming rate. But the
fact has been carefully concealed that
the fire insurance companies of America
have some months been contemplating
raise of insurance rates all over the
country
The losses by fire in the United States
during 1892 amounted TO the enormous
total of 5l,516, OBS. This is a vastly
greater proportionate loss than during
any year in the history of the country
except the year of the Chicago fire, and
it is even larger than that. The board
companies of the country have some
time since decided, it is reported, that
the rates must be raised; but there are
SO many details to such proceeding,
such as considering what steps the non
ing among board companies, that the
raise is not yet declared. That it will
be declared soon is quite certain.
There is little reason to believe that
Reinsurance companies will raise st.
Paul's Insurance out of proportion with
other cities, for probably no city of our
size in the country returned so light a
totalless for 1892 as st. Paul. Several
months ago the fire board exchanged
chemical engine for a hose wagon outfit.
The pressure of the hydrants is suffi-
cient to send the water through the hose
to the highest buildings in the locality
where the chemical did service, and the
board deemed that the hose was cheaper
and the service better than the chem
Faical Members of the board have re-
Gently stated that three or four chemical
companies can be laid off without serious
~ gripping the department. These COM
panies ara in the outlying districts; so
far away that they can very seldom reach
the heart of the city in time to be of any
service at fire, for chemicals are used
principally to put out Incipient fires.
To raise the insurance rates on the bus
HESS nOuSSS Vi Tile CITY BECAUSE lew
chemicals in the outskirts of the city
are laid off would be very unjust, and it
seems like nonsense to believe that the
insurance companies would do so.
There is another thing which the fire
insurance companies should not forget.
Several years ago the companies prom
ised st. Paul that when the fire depart
ment reached certain standard the
rates Of insurance would be materially
reduced. The fire department has long
since been up 10 and beyond the re-
Quired standard, but the fire insurance
companies have failed To Keep their
promise: more than that, they have
been repeatedly importuned to reduce
the rates here, ard have persistently de-
clined to do so.

CoNFERENCE CoMMIrrEE.

The conference committee is crea-
! ton of the BELL charter. Its purpose
is to afford the departments an oppor
tunity to come together and advise
upon the affairs which are operating by
each of the heads. 1t is required that
each head shall make full report CT
its status of affairs up to date; and SO
that there shall be no mistake as to
what will constitute full report, the
charter specifies what the report of each
department shall contain. A report
made as required must present the
financial and every situation so clearly
that the heads of all the department is
must see at glance just what the
standing is of each department. If
department is spending so much money
that it must exhaust its available funds
before the end of the year, every men,
Der of the conference committee can sec
the fact from the report, and it is made
the duty of the body to call attention to
the fact and urge the department to
curtail expenses. Thus. if the expendi-
lures of the fire department during the
first month of the current year were out
of proportion with its resources, the
conference committee could have known
1t and called attention to the dangerous
proceeding. And so tine committee
could have followed the fire board up
from month to month.
But the fact is that the conference
committee does not performs the work
required of it by the charter; in fact, it
does nothing which is of any practical
value. The heads of the departments
get together at the required times, file
their reports, and adjourn without SO
much as requiring that report shall be
read. Not head of one department
knows what is contained in the report
of another department, but takes it for
granted that it Is all right, and lets it
go at that.
Last August MIR. CULLEN introduced
resolution at meeting Of the COM
mittee, outlining an order of business,
which contemplated a careful inspec-
ton by the committee of all reports
filed. His only supporter was Mr.. BE-
MENT. The committee afterward took
the resolution and adopted it with such
alterations as rendered 1t OF no practical
account. And from that time on the
committee has been meeting in the old
fashion-simply filing reports and ad-
| journing.
The charter requires that the mayor
shall sign all warrants, keep a careful |
record of them, and report the lists at
the meetings of the conference COM
mittee. Thus the mayor is i'll position
to know exactly how much money each
department is spending, and he is also
| in position to know the resources Of
| each department. AS executive of the
city it is his duty to keep track of all
| these things. 1t is evident that, while
| the fire board is much to be blamed for
| its financial fix. 1t has not had the coun-
| sci of the conference committee to
which 1t was entitled, nor the guiding
hand of the city's executive.
The purpose of the conference com
mittee is to even responsibilities among
the departments of the city. Had the
committee performed its mission, as
| contemplated by the charter, it is safe
to believe that the fire, police and other
departments would not be in the present
| middle,

THE MODERN GIRL.

We hear, and have heard for several
years, great deal about the advance
ment of woman, of what it will do and
has done for the race. There is no
doubt that the position of woman in
many ways has greatly changed. In
some respects this change is for the bet
ter, but one cannot but feel that in other
ways it has been for the worse. The
Influence of these years of ferment on
the young girls of the land has not been
entirely good. While not of those who
think that the girls of today are Oh the
road to destruction, so far as beauty and
sweetness OF character is concerned,
the GLOBE is constrained to admit that
they are constantly practicing little un-
lovely ways that are bound 10 iniure
some of those sweet qualities that make
wOmanhOod so lovable. Nowhere is this
coarSening tendency shown so strongly
as in schools where girls congregate,
and by reason of their number are able
to dominate everything. The modern
girl is nothing if not intense. There
fore, if she goes in for any one thing,
she does it with vim and self-absorp-
ton utterly unknown to her ancestress
of a quarter or half-century ago. The
reaction of the minds of the mothers
against what SO many of them claim
We're the unjust demands upon them of
the duties of their sex and position in
the economy of nature, shows itself in
the daughters in furious adoption of
everything that heretofore has been
considered distinctly masculine. Go
into the room of the average college
girl of today, and unless the owner is
there or her closet door stands open, re-
vealing her dresses, there would be
scarcely mark of the sex Of the in

The sober fact is that the day of the
orator, the man of imprisoned elo-9
quence. OF stirring appeals to the emo
tions-he of the silver-tongue, whose
Imagination carries his reasoning pow
ers Ill magnificent flights-has passed
away. DoUGHERTY himself lived to
feel that he was about the last of his
Kind. The day has gone by when the
eloquent lawyer could secure the ac-
quittal of his client by the mere force of
his speech. The most effective jury
lawyer in this state today is man who
is as plain in speech as an old shoe. He
talks to the jury. He makes each man
feel that he is arguing the case with
him individually. He senses the men
on the jury whom he must convert and
goes for them. His tone is converSa-
tional. His methods are pure reason
ing. He convinces his men.
The change is not accidental. Law
yers would affect oratory today as they
used to If it were as effective. The men
who compose juries have different men,
tai processes now. They have had
different mental training. They are
more familiar with facts and the COM
parlson Of facts from which conclusions
are drawn. This is due for the most
part to the universal education of the
newspapers. Everybody reads. Every
body feels the responsibility of forming
his own opinions from the facts. He
learns to sift them; to pick out the
probable truth and reject the improDa-
bic fiction. The training fits in
with the duty of the juror. His
is the domain of fact. He is

this, who helps with his analysis. who

is the man who is strong before the

orator. 1t is drudgery to him. 1t is
setting the eagle to scratch for worms

and bearing him grandly away to his
