WILLIAM l.. BANNING.

The death of William L. Banning re-
moves from our midst one of the ablest
ana most prominent residents of the
citys Though advanced years and in
firm health have prevented Mr.. Ban
ming from engaging in active business
for some time, he had accomplished
that which has made its permanent I'M
press upon the city, the state aud the
entire Northwest.
With an ability possessed by few, with
tenacity of purpose sustained by an i'll
domitable will, with a business bravery
fairly heroic, be took up the project of
connecting st. Paul by rail with Lake
Superior and carried it TO success.
The securing of bonus of a quarter
of million dollars from the city of
st. Paul was one of the most memorable
contests which has ever occurred
here. In this movement Mr.. Ban
ming was opposed by a coterie of
prominent citizens who had other rail-
road interests to serve, but who. as
rule, had for years shaped and con-
trolled the business affairs of the
city. The matter went to the peo-
pie, and Mr.. Banning, by voice
and pen, depicted to the public the
Importance of the lake outlet, and the
placing of the city and state independ-
ent of the Chicago lines. He did this SO
persistently and ably that the vote was
in his favor, and, though much re-
manned to be done, that was the winning
of the battle.
As the result, not one but three rail-
roads now connect the river and the
lake. and the millions which have been
saved to the producers of the Northwest
are beyond computation.
Other men may have won greater
fame, but no man ever left a monument
more enduring and more beneficial to
the community in which he lived than
has William L. Banning, TIE greater
the obstacle, the greater his persistence.
He fOresaw not only what has already
been developed, but bis speeches and
writings show that he depicted what is
yet many years in advance of the pres
ent.
His speeches in the chamber of COM
merce, combating the element which
opposed him, made those days the most
memorable in the history of that insti-
tuition.
But, dropping his public work, as a
private citizen, las husband and father,
he was an ideal man. His home was
most congenial. Stern and resolute IN
his business or political contests. at his
,, home all this element was gone, and his
presence always made home joyous.

afflicted family have the consolation
that it was record Of integrity and an
honorable, successful career in every
respect.
He has left in his work all impress on
the Northwest which will remain while

If the Typographical union, admission
to which was refused him.
This is the story. Did the world owe
this man nothing more than it gave
him? Were his services in behalf of
his fellows requited by the salary paid
lin by his employer? Was the account
squared when the subscribers to the
paper paid their annual due? We can
measure with approximate accuracy the
benefits conferred on society by the
man who weaves its garments or makes
Its shoes, but where is the standard
which will measure the value of the
work of man like Wolff? An actor
may command thousand dollars a
night for entertaining us: a lawyer may
command a princes ransom for de-
Tending client or securing justice for
him, but the editor who puts his life
into his work and ScatterS thought
broadcast which is an inspiration to
better deeds and lives. is he paid by
society when his salary is passed over
the counter to him?
1t is this monstrous disparity between
the value of the services rendered and

justice which springs from the contem-

of this world. that makes one wish that
the dream of Bethany might become
the reality of hum anity. and that the
man who gave unselishly and unstint-
edly of the best in him for the good of
his fellow men might be freed from the
nightmare of dread which hangs over
and darkens his future and makes ap-
preaching old age, instead of being
prospect of well-earned and comfor-
table rest, one of want and distress en-
FILTERED with ingratitude. Can society
complain that men are sordid and self
ish and give their lives to accumulat-
ing money when it thus rewards unseif-
ish labor for its good? Are not men
driven in very self defense against so
cial conditions to be selfish and to devote
their efforts TO gathering at least suffi-
cIent amount of wealth to insure conf
Portable support when old age comes
and Younger men crowd out and dis
place? 1t is wrong, monstrouSly, cruelty
wrong. but where is the remedy?

dent of His Death.
The news of the death of Albert
Woi1t, German writer and poet, was re-
celved with deep sorrow at meeting of
the board of trustees of the Turnverein
Germania held at the Turner hall YES
terday forenoon. The flag on the build

authorizing its president to appoint a
committee to assist in the funeral ar
engagements, and request all the men,
bers of the Turnverein Germania to
attend the funeral Of the deceased.
which is to take place from his resid-
ence 220 Prescott street, West st. Paul.
at p. III. this (Monday) afternoon
MIR. Wolff was an honorary member of
the Turnverein for more than twenty
years, and in his days rendered signal
service to the association.
As an incident of Mr.. Wolf's traoic
death 1t is recalled that lie had a dog to
which he was much attached run over
by an engine and killed. He had a
photograph OF the faithful animal hang
Ing Ill his house, and had attached a
verse OF poetry to it. 1t is thought that
the incident suggested to him the idea
or making his own end sure and quick
by throwing himself before the engine.
Inc shocking event was the general
topic of conversation in the city yester-
Gay, and the regret was universal. In
MIS- own nationality, where he was bet-
ter known. the demise is regarded as a
personal affection

HOW WE ARE "REFoRMED. "

st. Paul is the only city in the United
States that boasts reform admins
tration, and ST. Paul is the only city in
the United States where man walks
the streets at the imminent risk of life
and limb. a slight fall of snow last
week was succeeded by a thaw, and
that in turn by cold weather. The re-
suits are seen in sidewalks covered with
glare ice upon which men and women
slip, and slide. and fall and break or
dislocate their bones No effort was
made by the city authorities to remove
or compel to be removed the snow when
it first fell; no effort has since been
made to render pedestrianism safe by
sprinkling the walks with ashes or
sand as required by law. Already there
have been scores of painful accidents in
consequence of this neglect, and the
record is not yet half complete.
1t is claimed in eXtenuation of this
neglect Of duty that the city funds are
low: that the officials are too busy with
other matters to give attention to the
streets, and that the warm weather that
may come some time in the future will
ludW llS lCG VA Gil6 WdlhS, anu IDUS save
the cost of its removal. 1t is not I'M
usual for reform" administrations TO
be out of funds. That is their normal
condition. They have good many ex-
pensiye reforms to make. They must
pry into the personal affairs Of the cit
iZen and see that he does not STAY out
too late nights; that he does not take a
furtive glass of beer at an uHseemly
hour; that he does not bet his money on
anyillusive 'bob-tailed nag;;" that he
does not go counting another mans
wife, or dance all night till broad day
light. and go home with the girls in the
morning."
1t is not the mission of the reform"
administration to see that the streets
are kept clean and safe; it is not its af-
fair to drive out thieves and thugs and
highwaymen. If the honest citizen
would be protected from these he must
stay at home nights, double-lock and
barricade his doors, put all his valua-
bles and household effects in a safety
deposit vault. and pray to the good
Lord to deliver him from the assaults of
he uDgodly, for the police cannot do it.

At THE THEATERS.

"Our Wives" at the Metropolitan last
evening, by the Bollman company, was
true eXemplification of the old saying,
''Oh, what tangled web we weave,
when first we practice to deceive" But
like all plays on the stage it ended in
JOY. Theodore Boliman appeared fer
the first time after severe illness, and
his pleasing presence was highly APP
preciated by his many admirers, who
have missed him the last several per-
formances. The play is prettily con-
structed, its web and wool being built
around and about that much-abused
personage-a mother-in-law. The moral
shown is that relative of that kind is
not really so bad as generally painted.
and that in the hour of distress the
youthful couple will always turn to that
old harbor for safety from an impending
storm, and that III most cases the storm
is generally averted, and the dark
clouds of despair and trouble are swept
and waited away by her aid. The char
acters were all we'll assumed, and Bel
Seitfert is showing good Improvement
and real talent. The Old fayoriteS,
and the new people, Harding, Loeseh,
Rehfeld and others, we'll cast. Ella
Collmer's jealous spat with her girl
friend was real pretty:
Tonight the first performance Of
Hoyt's "a Trip to Chinatown" by the

at the Metropolitan opera house. This
is the same company that presented
this great laugh-producer for 656 con-
secutiye performances in New York,
the longest run ever made in America.
The production that will be seen here Is
Identical with that which has had such
success in the metropolis. The cast i'll
cludes Harry Common, Anna Boyd, Nell
lie Rosebud, George A. Beane Jr. and
Harry Gilfoll. Bessie Clayton. the little
dancer extraordinary, is special feat
ure of this engagement.
