PARIS, Oct. 5.-The funeral cortege
conveying the remains Of the late Prof.
Louis Pasteur to Notre Dame cathe-
dral left the Pasteur institute at lO:30
a. m. Gen. Sausster, the military gov
ernor of Paris, headed the escort of
troops. An almost innumerable num-
Der wreaths, ETC., were borne before the
coffin. which was followed by the fam
fy of the deceased, the ministers, SEN
ators, deputies and numerous delega-
ttons from different scientific and other
bodies from all parts of France and
from many foreign countries. An inn
mense concourse of people lined the
streets through which the funeral pro-
cession passed, although the sky was
heavily overcast and a downpour of
rain was threatened. The procession
arrived at Notre- Dame cathedral at
noon and shortly afterwards the fu-
neral services were commenced. The
services were very imposing and were
attended by President Faure, the men,
bers of the diplomatic corps, Prince
Nicholas of Greece and the Grand
Duke Constantine of Russia, all in full
dress uniforms. After absolution had
been pronounced by Cardinal Richard,
archbishop of Paris, the coffin was car
ried to a catafaloue in the center of
the square in front of the cathedral
There M. Poincarre, minister of edu-
cation, made a. speech eulogizing the
life work of the deceased, and after
wards the troops and different deputa-
tions defiled before the catafalque. AT
the conclusion of the ceremonies the
coffin was Professionally deposited in
the vaults of Notre Dame.

INCREASED RAILWAY EARNINGS

Additional evidence of the great
Improvement in business conditions
is found in the reports of the various
railroad companies These show
quickly, in increase or decrease of
earnings, variations in the condition
or general business. During the
last two years, when industry was
at low ebb, the balance sheets of
the railroads have been discourag-
ing to stockholders. The falling off
in gross earnings and the appear
ance of deficits in many quarters
were an index of the condition of the
country. With equal force the trans
fer Of the balance to the right side
of the ledger shows how steadily
the business interests of the country
are gaining.
This improvement in railway
earnings is general. 1t is most
noticeable, however, in the Western
roads which suffered severely in the
time of depression. The September
accounts of what are generally
grouped together under the heading
of Granger" roads are exceedingly
gratifying. For the second week in
September the earnings of the st.
Paul system show an increase of
$S7 1896, the Chicago Great Western
of $21,5SO, the Northern Racific of
$40, 900, while the Chicago & North
western and the Great Northern
were equally favored, according to
their reports for August, as COM
pared with last year. Taking the
country as a whole, the net increase
in the earnings of fifty-three roads
for the third week in September
amounted to 3.1S per cent. If one
applies this ratio of increase in
earnings to the amount of business
necessary to produce it, he will see
what an enormously increased ag-
gregate tonnage must have been car
ried by the various railway systems
Of the United States 1t is by all
odds the most impressive and con-
vincing showing of the new prosper
ity that has come to pass, and that
has, we believe, only reached it's
first stages, and is to continue for
many years to come.

PIERRE, s. D., Oct 5. = Railroad
Commissioner e. F. Conklin is in the
city today. He stated that he felt
certain that the principal railroad
building in the state next year will be
the construction of a line from the
Twin Cities to the Black Hills by way
of Pierre His confidence that the road
will be built comes from what he has
heard from the jobbers of Minneap-
oils and st. Paul. They are pushing
the matter for all there is in it, as
they are beginning to thoroughly real
ize the enormous amount of trade they
will gain by a more direct line of COM
munication with the Black Hills coun-
try.

ton here of the methods ia
miliar there
panies were willing to adopt such
rule, difficulty would be found
in the acceptance of it by the
public. The spirit of the American is
one of rush. 1t infects every one.
The domesticated foreigner, coming
from countries where more leisureIy
habits prevail, soon becomes infected
with this impulse to get in at the
head of the procession, to catch
the first car, to gain time, to cut
corners, that is the characteristic
of our people commented on by all
foreign observers. Stand on the
corner of Fifth and Robert, where
street cars pass every moment of
the day, and watch the number of
people crossing the streets. Nine
of them will quicken their steps to
get across ahead of a coming car
to one who will take no chances.
but wait until it has passed. So in
the morning and evening hours,
when men and women are hurrying
to or from their work. Were the
cars running but a moment apart
each individual would feel that he or
she must get into the first one,
whether 1t were crowded or empty.
A case illustrative of this occurred
on one of the evenings when the
equinoctial was flooding the streets
and it's winds were driving the rain
in gusts. AT the corner of Fourth
and Robert stood a crowd waiting
for West-bound car. Some delay
brought two cars there together.
The front one was one of the open
cars, with curtains only to shield the
passengers from the rain. Right be-
hind it, not twenty feet away, was
the second, a closed car. The crowd
plunged into the first car until it
was so full that the motorman
could not close the gates. Less than
half a dozen had the good sense to
wait until the second car came up.
1t is this spirit, an absurd one, of
course, but one that has to be reck-
oned with, that would make the
adoption of continental methods
difficult here. Greater frequency Of
trips, at such hours as are most
used by people in going to and from
business, might aid in cultivating
different habit. Ten minutes seem a
long time and great waste of it
to the busy man or to the woman
anxious to get home from her work
or her shopping, and a stand-up ride
is deemed preferable to waiting. But
municipal regulation would soon ed
ucate people out Of this habit if ac-
companied with either voluntary
or compulsory increase of accommo-
dations by the car companies. In
cidentally there would come a re-
lease of that strain on the polite
ness of men, caused by the impulse
to give a seat to the woman who
has crowded into a filled car, and
the reluctance to yield rest they
may really need and for which thew
have paid. Gradually politeness yields
and the man retains his seat; but
it is a. distinct loss to habituate
men to discourtesy.

No high civilization was ever found

In the past, whenever a man had OBJ

THE FUTURE OF THE POSTER.

THE FUTURE OF THE POSIER.
When the first artistic posters
were imported from France and our
own young artists returning from
Paris began ito design enthusiastic-
ally i'm a similar vein, the movement
was frowned upon by many cultivat-
ed persons Of conservative taste. It
was considered fad of the moment.
What! Unite art and advertise
mentS? Perish such a sacrilegious
combination!- Such critics failed ITO
discern that here was the beginning
of a new movement in art which is
destined to be great for the very
reasons which made them think it
trivial. Among people living outside
of New York, the cultivation of ar
tistic tastes has heretofore necessar-
lily implied certain amount Of
wealth and leisure for travel, which
are exceptional conditions. We are
a commercial people, a nation of
business men and women. Not all of
us can go to the winter exhibitions in
the metropolis. Any adaptation of
art, to be widely popular among us,
must come ITO our doors. Given a
form of art which will do this, and
which in addition is based upon that
industrialism which is our life, that
form of art is founded upon rock
among us and the future is it's own
The new art Of poster-designing full
fills these conditions.
This prediction as to it's future
is, of course, based upon the assump-
ton that we are also "a nation funda-
mentally appreciative of art "a
claim which perhaps needed proving
before the summer Of 1898. It be-
came evident, however, to any OBJ
servant visitor at the worlds fair
that, if the bulk of our people had
not loved beauty in art and archi-
lecture up to that time, it was be-
cause they had seen none to love-
Bad taste may have been for that
reason our temporary attribute, but
1T is not our heritage
Large pictorial advertisements
have been facts of the life of our
streets for many a year; if not al
ways pleasing facts, they have new
ertheless always commanded atten-
ticn. Let them become pleasing and
they will command more attention
still, which will profit the advertiser
vastly and will also profit the citi-
zen, to whom the exchange of beauty
for-not ashes, but something which
ought to be ashes, will be an meal
culableboon. Arftistically good posters
will so educate the public taste that
it will demand better posters, and
the way will be opened to a more
general appreciation of art in all
its forms. Assuredly, with the sin
gle exception of a widely diffused
knowledge of the chemistry of food,
there is no one thing which would
ADD more to the comfort and joy Of
our lives than such an appreciation.
The substitution of good street ad-
vertisements for bad ones is going
on with reasonable rapidity in New
York. 1T seems possible that her
streets may become, as those of
Paris already are, a liberal education
in art. Many of the smaller cities
have had and are having exhibitions
of artistic posters which, among 9th
er useful ends, have served to ex-
cite interest among the local ad-
vertisers and stimulate the ingenu-
fty of the local artists. Why should
not st. Paul have such an exhibi-
ton?

HOW TO REDUCE TAXES.

With the articles published this
morning, showing in detail the cost
of street lighting and of water sup
ply, the G o b concludes its finan-
cial exhibit of st. Paul and three
other cities which may be grouped
fairly in the same class. These seven
articles, taken together, constitute a
complete financial statement for st.
Paul, and a showing by which we
may compare, down to the smallest
particular, the services rendered by
the municipal government to the peo-
pie in each community and the at
tendant cost. No taxpayer need be
ignorant hereafter of the status of
his city. A quietus has been put
alike upon the charges of the alarm
lists, who have represented our mu-
nicipal condition as one of rapid
deterioration, and the foolish state
ments Of those who, through ignor-
ance or personal interest, would per-
suade the people that no changes in
our policy need be made. The work
done by the C o b e has been fol-
lowed with deep interest by our peo-
pie, has been the subject of extended
commendatory notice here and
abroad, and constitutes, we are, as
sured, the first step toward a strictly
business administration in the inter
est of the taxpayer.
Now that the information on which
to base a judgment has been sup
piled, the practical question arising
in every mans mind is, How are we
to get lower taxes?" The prospect
for them is not at present of the
brightest. The board of aldermen
has just fixed the tax levy for 1895.
The highest rate is that charged in
what are known as the first five
assessment districts, constituting the
older portion of the city. We sub
join a statement of the tax levy in
those districts for the year 1894, as
given in the report of the city coun-
ell, and the rate agreed to by the
board of aldermen last week:
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-10-06

Z.J0
Total ....... 21 90 mills. 2O.3O mills.
1t appears from this that tax
alton is not decreasing at an
alarming rate. The total diminu-
ton in 1895 is seven-tenths of a mill.
Of this just one-tenth of mill is
due to lessened city taxes; the re-
mainder of the decrease being ac-
counted for by lower imposts for
state and county revenue. The bur-
dens of the people will not be light
ened perceptibly for some years to
come if the process continues at this
modest pace. Such relief as the peo-
pie desire and feel that they are en-
titled to must be obtained bv cut-
ting down city expenditures. The
information which we have laid be-
fore the public in this series of arti-
cles shows where the knife may be
applied without injury to the inter-
ests of the city as a whole. The
~ Z WlIdI IIley WISH
II they observe carefully, first the
time and second the method of suc-
cessful demand for tax reduction.
The time to agitate this subject is
right now. Ordinarily the public
mind is stirred only when taxes must
be paid or become delinuuent on tho
lst OF June. Then every man feels
the pressure, and then he demands
relief. At that time no relief can
be had The money has been appro-
prlated and, under our wasteful sys-
tenn of living on future revenue. if
has been spent. The tax lew has
long been fixed, and the amount
charged up against the property.
Nothing can undo or affect these
proceedings. The point of at
tack should be the estimate
OF expenditures for each wear
which is sent in to the
council in January, after being sub
m1tted to the conference committee
in the December preceding. If sucb
a power is brought to bear on tbe
different departments and on the
council at that time as will induce
them to revise and reduce their esti-
mated expense accounts, then the
tax levy can be 1essened correspond
1ngly. We say emphatically that
the people have no business to com
plain, because the adjustment of ex-
penditures and of taxation is prac-
tically in their hands. If they will

SENATE AND HOUSE
The Presidents Message Read in
Congress Today.
It's RECEPTION IN BOTH HOUSES
Some Business transacted in the
- Senate Afterward.
OUSEADJOURNS TILLFRIDAY

The reading of the Presidents message in
the Senate today was quite a perfunctory
ceremony. Even the public galleries were
not filled. The diplomatic gallery was de-
serted, while the private galleries did not
contain a score of people.
Senator Sherman listened with his we'll
known stoical attitude to the reading until
he secured a printed copy of the document,
when he retired to his committee room.
Senator German spent good deal of time
in apparent attention, but he frequently
went about among his fellow Senators for
friendly chat. Senators George, Morgan,
Allen, Cullom, Vest, V Voorhees, Villas and Pal
mer were among those who patiently kept
their seats to respectfully listen to the
words of Mr.. Cleveland's message. Senator
blackburn listened and talked with his
friends on the floor
In the House there was the same lack of
interest apparent, and as soon as the read
ing was concluded an adjournment until
Friday was taken.
