A TERRIBLE CALAMITY.


1t is shocking story of fearful death
and wide destruction of property that
the wires bring to US as the details of the
fires that have swept across Pine county
find access to the channels OF cOmmuni-
cation. The meager reports Of yester-
day morning, coming by devious ways.
are supplemented by the fuller nara
lives in our columns this mOrning, aud
hard will be the one who can read them
without emotion. A chill OF horror runs
through the veins of the most callous at
the chastity picture OF the one hundred
and forty eight unfortunate men, women
and children cut OIL by the fires and
sutfocated In the heat and smoke. The
situation recalls and parallels the fate
full fail Of 1871, when forest fires swept
the peninsula of Wisconsin, carrying
death and desOlation in their track.
The generous instincts of our people
sprang Into activity as the stories came
in yesterday morning OF the restitution
following the ire, and supplies OF food
and clothing went down into the
stricken region for the survivors. AS
the tale is told today and the appeal of
tue mayor is read, the response will
come from our people in ample meas
ure. The meeting called should an d
will be All overlooking one. Charity
should organize specially and effect
lively, committees be appointed, and a
central depot established where sup
plies can be sent by people anxious to
help but not knowing where to send.
Food and clothing is the imper alive
need. Money. shelter, provisions,
everything that homeless and destitute
families need, will be required to aid
these unfortunates in their terrible at
Fiction. They will make no vain ap-
peal TO the citizens of st. Paul. be-.
While the fires are sweeping the pine
forests 10 our north, our own citizens
cannot be too careful here. The atmos-
pheric conditions closely resemble those
which wiped Chicago out OF existence.
We have had two months OF unbroken
drought. A fierce sun has made finder
box Ut the whole country. All intiam
mable material is in the best condition
for the spark that will start the contlag-
ration. The water supply is deficient.
The conditions demand the utmost care
and vigilance every where. and in our
city no less than in the country. 1t
may not be another Mrs. O'Leary's COW
that will start the fire fiend. but it may
be the burning match carelessly thrown
or the cigar stub falling among refuse
ready for the fame. No precaution
should be neglected nor vigilance re-
!axed. Meantime. while guarding our
own, let us take good ca re of those to
whom disaster and financial ruin have
come to add to the grief Of dear ones
persisted in the cruel and remorseless
flames.

TALK ON TOWN TOPICS.

The figures presented by the county
auditor on Saturday relating to the
amount of taxes remaining delinquent
attest serious lesson of the recen. hard
times. Over million dollars of money
which the state, tire county. the city
and the schools should have had in
their respective possession has remained
away. Nevertheless. we have managed
pretty well. If all taxes would be paid
promptly there would be speedy re.
duction OF the public debt, and CORE.
spending amount of public improve
ments.
The dredge to be used at Lake Como
Is under way and soon the mud" will
fly and the waters of that favorite re-
sort be made deeper. And Mr.. Wheelock
promises the public first-class bath
ing place at the lake. The small boy
will be strictly in it, to say nothing Of
the big boys and their girls. Next
season. the bleach" Will be the center
of attraction at Como. aud while the
sounds Of music come sweetly across
the waters the population will disport
itself IN the cooling waters. And incl
dentally there will be rush for bath.
ing costumes and corresponding rise
In prices. We would like to offer a
suggestion to the board, however.
Name the island in Como. Coney Island,
and leave it there by all means.

Today IS the day on which the bids
for the paving Of Seventh. Fourth and
Sibley streets with asphalt are to be

bids will lay over until Tuesday. At
that time action will be taken, and the
is to push the work as rapidly
as possible.

Seventh street, 1t occurs to US that thus
far the city railway company has not
yet expressed any intention as to what
the company proposes to do In The mat

is How it will look like old times when
about 200 men will swing the pick and
shovel on these streets and make the
gravel fly. And when that asphalt
pavement is once down, how all the
boysswill take run down that thor
Oughfare on their bikes. And the
young men will take their best girls out
sleigh riding when the gentle snow
shall again cover Mother Earth. We're
getting there in st. Paul. Just keep it

HOW TO ELECT SENATORS.

standing Of the subject. there is little
expectation that an honest and intelii-
gent discussion will result in any
radical change of the constitution
In this regard. The true remedy OF

the imperative duty of every intelligent

D. L. BUELL..

prominent Resident Of Houston, Mimi
The election of members Of the
United States senate by state legisla-
lures has developed demoralizing and
dangerous tendency in our political
system. 1t breeds swarm of corrupt
politicians, who strive, and do get elect
ed to the state legislatures at nearly
every senatorial contest, for the express
purpose of personal gain. The choice
of such politicians is usually wealthy
candidates for the senate. as they are
better able to reward this class of poll
ticians, thus having tendency to make
the senate simplya representative of
wealth. and not of the people.
1t is too expensive method of elect.
ing senators, keeping some legislatures
weeks. sometimes months. contending
over candidates at great expense, and
greatly to the detriment of public bust
ness, sometimes failing to elect. thus
depriving the state Of its just share Of
representation. AS few mea in the
state legislatures usually determine
who shall be elected as senator, an op-
portunity is afforded. by this method of
election, for great wealth to secure the
honor and dignity of the senatorial Office
without deserving it.
1t gives great corporations whose life
Is affected by legislation chance to Sc
lect men for senators who are simply
agents or attorneys for them, Instead Of
being representatives of all the people.
No person would care to be q candi-
date, and no party would dare to put in
nomination before the people candi.
date for senator. whose character and
ability did not command the respect of
a large share of the voters of the state,
and, II elected. self-Interest and self
respect would be a strong Inducement
for such person to be true to the in
terests OF all the people, and not to the
interests of corporations and private in
dividuals.
AS the senate OF the United States
will ever remain small body in num-
bers, few votes are likely to hold the
balance of power and determine the
character of its legislation. This coun-
try, when its great material resources
are developed. will produce men and
corporations Of wealth greater than any
nations have yet produced: and seat
in the United States senate is likely to
be coveted as the rallying point to en-
able them TO maintain and perpetuate
their power. to the injury OF the mass
of the people. And. as under our sys.
TEN the good Of all the people is the
main object Of our government, think
it will be safer to entrust the election of
members of the United States senate to
the people OF a state rather than to the
legislature thereof. ID. l.. BUELL..

READERS CT the Washington Post
have doubtless noticed the ardor with
which that paper defends all the con-

prevails in Washington and shapes the
views of all its residents. But. in a
little controversy which has arisen be-

former on Secretary Carlisle, In which

the offices and our homes? Here are
the engineers and fireDen. Where
are the managers and superintendent
parts Of the great systems Of trans
portation? DO they not work, too? Why
this discrimination? Is work not work?
Are some vocatlons labor and some cage?
Is there dividing line on one side of
which are those who work and oil the
other those who Idle?
1t Is indeed fitting that one day OF the
years many should be set apart az
Labor day, buttaere Is grievous error
In supposing that 1t Is to be given to-
only those who give their daily labor
for daily wage. because it belitties the
very class OF workers whom it would
exalt. 1t Is an admission on their part
that labor, instead of having its kind.
has its grades: that some are worthier
than others. aud that the unworthier
must assert itself and demand especial
recognition. Ii Is the first step towards
the recognition of what this republic
was established to abolish, classes
among men. There Is no such division
working classes, and should not admit
that we have. We might say we have
drones, idlerS who eat the bread of idle
ness. and we might well establish an
order OF them aud in some way brand
them so that all men might scorn them;
but In n nation where all work there
should be no labor day for part; no
kinds of workers should claim the bad
distinction that the day is their own.
Better far no dedication of any day to
labor's worship than that it should be
taken as sign that we have reached a
point where some men and women who
work for daily wage are class apart
from the workers in the great workshop
of humanity who work for themselves
with either hand OF brain. The true
brotherhood Of labor takes in all who do
we'll what comes to their hand to do.
