MAYOR WRIGHT RESIGNS
HIS POSITION As CANDIDATE FOR
REPUBLICAN, FERMENTATION


1t has been known in select circles for
some time that Mayor Wright had de-
cided to decline denomination at the
hands of the Republican party. He was
launching the painful intelligence on
the public. but it was finally decided to
have his letter resigning his candidacy
read at the FIRST ward Republican meet
ing last Saturday night. That meeting
was hydra-headed, and so turbulent
that no opportunity was presented for
the appearance of the document, and
the letter IN question accordingly first
reaches the general public Outside of
the 400 through the columns of the
widely circulated GLOBE. 1t is as fol-
lows:
To the Editor: In reply to numerous
inquiries pressed upon me from time to
time, and which are becoming more
frequent and urgent as the time for the
spring election draws near, as to wheth-
er intend to enter into the contest for
the mayoralty, desire to state, through
your columns, that am not candidate
for denomination, not because l am tired
of the office, for my political experience
since my election has been, on the
whole, pleasant, and l am sure shall
always look back with real satisfaction
to my term of service as mayor Of the
city of st. Paul. -
shall not be candidate solely upon
the ground that believe. 1t to be prac7
tically impossible for one occupying the
position of mayor to administer the
affairs Of the city fearlessly and with
independence. according to the dictates
of his judgment, and at the same time
be making arrangements for another
campaign.
avail myself of this opportunity to
express my hearty thanks to the many
friends who have so kindly rendered me
their cordial support, had l thought il
proper to make an effort for reelection.
Very respectfully yours,

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND throws down
the gauntlet to Senator Hill in the NOM
ination Of Mr.. Peckham as associate jus
lice of the supreme court. Mr.. Peckham
was prominent auti-snapper and a
leader IN the action of the New York
Bar association against the nomination
of Maynard. The objections of youth,
!neXperience and connection with cor
Dorate interests, which no doubt infiu-
enced some senators to aid Senator Hill
N the qualification of his spleen, cannot

predict his continuation.

MUTUAL jealousy between the fac
tons OF the Republican party in New
York seems destined to prove more dis
astrOu5 to its permanence than the as
Sauit5 of the Democracy. There are Two
wings in the organization, each of which
is determined either to rule or ruin.
Each iS-after the Offices, of course. and
the legislature, having control of a large
number of the plums, will be in state
of siege until neXtsprlng. The conten-
ton Is perhaps natural one, for the
present is probably the only opportu-
nifty the Republicans will have of reap
ing any OF the uSufruct of public station.
BECAUSE Chicago has trebled iii pop
ulatlon in seventeen years while its
assessment roll has shrunk S57. 600. 600
in the same time, Farm, Stock and
Home thinks an income tax should be
laid. That is to say, because men have
succeeded in evadiug the assessment of
their personal property or in reducing
the valuation of their realty, therefore
they should be asked to state the
amount of their income for taxation.
If they can thus eyade taxation of prop
erty diScoverable with comparative ease.
what reason is there to expect that thew
could not and would not hide property
SO much more easily hidden? To our
mind the fact of this shrinkage, if an ar
gument for any change in our system of
taxation, shows the need of simplifying
rather than of complicatIng; of reduc-
ing the property subject to tax instead
of increasing it. We agree that an in
come tax is the most just in theory, but
experience proves that it is the most nm
just, because the most unequal, in prac
tlce.

Comments OF Blethen's Penny

Minneapolis Evening Press.
Business must indeed be in bad way
in st. Paul. An alderman's vote has
been rated at the value Of three pairs of
pants.
Mayor Wright. of st. Paul, has broken
the record. He is not candidate for
reelection. The action is probably the
outcome of an idea that if he was a can
didate it would be the same thing in the
end. Discretion is oft times the better
part of valor.

Ma hOgany Roads.

or stone is the more durable for street
pavements. The laying down of ma
hogany roadways sounds almost like a

ton of that almost interminable thor
o%ughfare, the Rue Lafayette, has been
pulled up and relaid with real Brazil
ian mahogany of a peculiarly fine tex
ture and color. 1t is confessedlv an eX.
pertinent, as the mahogany is dearer
than the woods ordinarily used for the
purpose OF street paving. The cost of
the new roadway wAl be fifty francs a

dollars a square yard. 1t is expected
that the extra outlay incurred will be
more than compensated for by greater

TOO FAT TO KEEP AWAKE.
A Product OF the British WOrkhouse That
Does II Credit.


The inhabitants of Poplar, who work
lard and live frugaliy in order to pay
their taxes honestly, must be highly
gratified to learn that they have been
wearing their fingers to the bone to
assist William Edwards, an inmate of
their workhouse, to become so fat that
it takes him half an hour to stoop to
pick up a pin and another half hour to
raise himselfto the perpendicular, says
the London Telegraph. And after the
herculean exertion he becomes so *
hausted that he requires to spend the
next hour in slumber to recruit his
shattered force. He tried to induce
the authorities to accept a theory he
had worked out, which proved that the
trouble of getting out of bed in the
morning was SO enfeebling that in his
case it should be omitted from the
days arrangements and his food be
sent up to his bedside.
When the workhouse master declined
to acknowledge the correctness of this
deduction, Edwards cndeavored to car.
ry his pet idea into effect surrepti-
tiously by crawling in a corner to en-.
JOY "a nap. Never once was the qucs-
ton asked: where's Edwards?" with
out receiving the response, not from
the person Immediately concerned, aud
always correct: asleep, sir"
This prodigy, who puts all other fat
boys in the shade, is only twenty and
weighs about twenty-one stone, and
his cheeks are SO fat that he has not for
years seen his nose. And yet some
people say that the poor law system is
a failure. The other day, when it was
rather hot, a special staff attempted 10
keep Edwards awake, and failed, so the
sleeper was brought before the Thames
magistrate charged with n~eglectinp
his work. He then admitted that he
felt drowsy after the good dinner with
which the ratepayers kindly supplied
him, and if he did oversleep himself a
little he faxed parding." Mr.. Dickin-
o said the youth was apparently too
well nourished, and sent him to Jail for

BIDDERS IGNORED.
They Wanted a Contract at $449
Which Was Let for 1926.
Blame Put on Supervisor Fitchie's
Clerk, McGinness.

experimentation geThomas Fitchie.
of Kings County, this morning began
an inquiry into the granting Of a on
tract by the Board of Supervisors to
Thomas Neary for repairs in the Sher-
ms office. when the bid Of Taylor &
Som was the lowest.
Mr.. Fitchie found that Neary bid
1926 and Taylor & Sons bid $40 for the
same work. There. were two other
bids, one for 1926 and another for 81, 200.
MartinNTaylor, q member.o fthe firm
whose bid was the lowest, told Mr..
Fitchie to-day that in submitting his
bid he had figured on a profit of $50.
Mr.. Fftchie learned that his clerk,
John j. McGinness. was responsible for
the awarding o fthe contract, as he
is said to have made certain misrepre-
sensations to the Committee on Con-
tracts regarding Taylor & Sons.
A Democratic member of the Board
called on Mr.. Fitchie this morning, and
said that unless the resolution granting
Neary the contract was vetoed an in
yestigation would be called for by the
Board.
McGinness, the Democratic member
stated, was influencing committees in
favor of his friends and had already
taken too much interest In the granting
of contracts.

DOUBLE FRE{zE-OUT FOR HER
Mrs. Williams's Suit for $4,000
Damages Thrown Quito Court.
She Said an eel" Road Porter Made
Her Stay Out in the Cold.

Sarah d. Williams brought suit for
IS, ono damages in the City Court, Brook
Ign. against the Kings County Ele-
waited Railroad Company for alleged out
rageous treatment by n of the Com
pany''s employees.
She charges that m the night of Jan.
10. 1893. when the temperature was one
degree below zero. she was compelled
to stand on the platform at the Sum-
ner avenue station for over half an
hour, although a bright fire was burn
ing In the waiting room. and 1t was
warm and comfortable. AS a result OF
this exposure to the freezing atmos-
phere, she says she contracted a cold
which developed into the grip. She has
not yet recovered.
On the witness-stand to-day she testi-
fed that she reached the station at
100 A. NJ. Or going out on the plat
form she attempted to enter the walt
ing-room. The door was locked. She
saw a colored porter sitting inside with
a woman on his knee.
Mrs. Williams demanded to be ad-
mitted to the room. but no attention
was paid to her request.
After she had told her story, Lawyer
Hirsh, who represented the Company,
moved that the complaint be dismissed.
He said there was no proof that the
plaintiff had not contracted the cold
before she arrived at the railroad sta
ton.
Judge Clement took the same view
Of the case, inc granted the application.
