MILWAUKEE, WIS. April 19.-The
threatened street car strike was averted
this afternoon, the company after hav-
ing made all unsuccessful attempt to
compromise with the men agreeing to
pay the present wages. 10 cents an hour.
AT a conference this forenoon the
company expressed an inclination 10
compromise, aud proposed an arrange
ment which would give the men an
average of 1879 cents an hour through
out the year. The employees. however,
were no; inclined to accept, believing
that IL cents Is not eXuroitant, especially
they say. as % cents was promised
by the company last year beginning
May l. The men wanted to have the
matter settled by an arbitration coRl-
mittee, giving the committee the right
to fix the wages as low or high as they
might find just, but the company was
not willing. A large number of alder
men assured the railway employees that
they had their sympathy, and If the cut

The Democratic city committee has
acted wisely in filling the vacancy on
its ticket. aad nominating VIM. Rhodes
as It's candidate for comptroller.
1t has been found upon investigation
that the political statements which
Comptroller McCardy has been giving
to the public are unfair, misleading and
untruthful.
The claims which he has been making
relative to the reduction of the city
debt by the Performers" were pune
tured by Mayor Smith in his acceptance
speech, in general way. and it is now
due the taxpayers and voters of st.
Paul that they should be punctured in
detail.
Discoveries have been made which
strip the mask from the much.heraldcd
purity which has been claimed for the
present financial management of the
city, and the Democratic party would be
derelict in its duty if it failed to lay the
exact facts before the public.
With such candidate as Mr.. Rhodes
presented for the suffrages of the peo-
pie of st. Paul, and with the exact
statement of what the reform admin
istration" has and has not done, as con-
traSted with the financial record of the
Democratic administrations which prior
to the past two years have been in
charge of public affairs, the result can
not be doubtful.

The bill repeating the coercion act
for Ireland has passed its second read
ing in the British house of commons,
and will 10 doubt be finally approved.
The best reason possible for its repeal
was given by the supporters of the bill
the fact that it was no longer neces-
sary. Since the passage of the act-an
cutgrowth of the Phoenix Park assas-
sinations-life and property have been
as safe in Ireland as elsewhere through
out the empire, and crime is as severly
reprobated in Ireland as elsewhere
throughout the world. The existence
Of the law was. however, an aspersiOn
upon the people, under which they
WINGED perceptiblv. and very properly
resented. A single crime is not suffi-
cient warrant for denouncing a whole
people as murd erers, which was. in eff
feet. what tue coercion act essayed to
do. Its repeal will be matter for con-
graduation.

TROOPS NOT ASKED.

the Great Northern.
M. D. Grover, general counsel of the
Great Northern railway, last evening
asked the GLOBE to eontradicr, for the
officials of the road. the story that had
circulated freely through the day that
j. J. Hill and other officials of the COM
pany had asked Gov. Nelson to call out
the state militia to protect the line from
the strikers. The matter, he said, is Ill
the hands of the federal authorities. and
the officials have so far not thought of
invoking the aid of the state, OF antici-
pated that such action would be neces-
sary.
Col. Grover said that the story that
the Great Northern railway or any line
OF its system is employing Pinkerton
men is absolutely false. The matter of
protecting the property of the railway
is wholly in the hands of the federal
authorities.
Seen at midnight. Samuel Hill, of
Minneapolis, said that he did not ap-
prehend any serious trouble al Mime
apoiis and that he thought the strike
would gradually die out. The report
to the effect that the governor would
call out the militia he characterized as
absurd. He also said that j. J. H::l
would not call upon the Pinkertons, as
lie had no use for Pinkertons or their
methods.
