true paternalistic spirit made by ex-
Senator Warner Miller and the Re-
publican state convention in New
York. But one vexed question was
before the convention. There was,
of course, the usual obligation to
"denounce," and "behold with
ALARM" and point with pride that
rests on all conventions of all par
ties, and to mass a. lot Of platitudes
that appear to mean something, but
which, tasted, are veritable apples
of the Dead sea; but there was one
question that protruded it's annoy
ing presence on the convention and
refused to be put down or out, or to
be smothered in honeyed and mean
fngless phrases. That was the atti-
tude the party should assume on
the Sunday law, a necessity COM
PEELED by the irrepressible Roose-
velt and his enforcement of the ex-
lsting Draconic law. The boss was
at his wits end. The work was
novel to him. His machine was not
built to solve such problems. The
cities opposed the law and demanded
home rule, the right to make their
own police and social regulations.
The rural districts, buttressed in
their majority, opposed a change.
Into this perplexity Warner Miller,
he who fell outside the breast
works" in 1888, forced himself and
his resolution and his set speech. It
is with the latter and it's eXemplifi-
cation of that paternalism that ami
mates his party and it's several out
growths, such as Populism and So
cialism, that we are now concerned.

works senator's resolution, that we
favor the maintenance Of the Sunday
laws in the interest Of labor and
morality" And to this text the ex-
senator spoke with his glittering eve

the nation were on the convention to
see what it would do for morality
and virtue and the interests of labor

1t is the unabashed assertion that the

To the Editor of the Globe.
In relation to the interesting articles
you are now publishing in recent Sun
day issues, I wish to call your atten-
ton to fact in regard to the indebt-
edness and expenditures of this city.
which you have overlooked, and which
very few people understand, or in fact,
know anything about.
In the G o b e of Sept. you give
the net bonded debt" $9S41. 500. Liter
ally this is correct: practically it is
not, for the following reasons:
Page 129. of Ramsey county auditors
printed statement ending Dec. 81, 1894,
gives the bonded Indebtedness of Ram
sey county, SSl5, ,46O-the last page in
same report showing the county tax
levy" shows that the city of st. Paul
pays 81. 692, 6s4 of the total levy, or
81 32-10O per cent. and the county, out
side of the city. pays S74.320 of the
total, or only 6S-100 per cent. conse-
quently 81 S2-100 per cent of the SS15, ,460
county bonded debt, or S7sS, COS. should
be added to the city bonded debt to
show our exact condition; this would
make the total for city $40, ,6S5, ,406.
In figuring the fixed interest charge"
of st. Paul the same basis should be
used. The fixed interest on these
county bonds (as per page 129) is
$4,000. and 81 32-1OO per cent of this
amount, or 9,531, which IS what the
city taxpayers are paying as their pro-
portion should be added to $541, ,46S (the
corrected amount for city given in
your issue of Sept. 15), making a total
of $3.50, 1893. These are disagreeable
facts, but the sooner they are generally
understood the better. The tax levy
for the county shows that the county,
outside the city, pays only 6S-1O0 per
cent of the total levy, while in making
up the levy for the city (see pages 6
and of city comptrollers estimate for

300 the county is charged with two
thirds. or S46,S66, and in court house
fund the county is charged with one
half of the total, or $205S0 but when
the county taxes are paid the city tax
payer really pays 81 32-10o per cent of
the total This is only two of the many
systems of ''jugglery'' of figures to
mislead the taxpayers of this city, and
to make it appear that the city eX-
penses are less than they really are.
Yours truly,

The attempt to write French novels
in the English language from which
readers of fiction have suffered of
late has been a distinct failure.
Perhaps this is why the market is
flooded just now with host of good
and bad translations from the
French. Two of those on our table
are by "Gyp," Comtesse de Martel,
Frenchwoman of ability and social
distinction who, besides her literary
work and her life in the "grande
monde" of Paris, finds time and
talent to be an artist of some note.
"Gyp's" novels, which have long had
great vogue in France and England,
are witty, reckless and frothy. OF
the two ''trif1es light as air" under
consideration, "Chiffon's Marriage"
and "An Infatuation," the latter is
an unfortunate selection for trans
lation. It's air is too vitiated for
Anglo-Saxon lungs, and the trans
later is obviously unacquainted with
either the French or the English
tongue.
"Chiffon's Marriage" of which
three translations have been pub
lished. is more likely to be acceptable
to an American public. 1t is a
piquant little picture of young girl
who contravenes all the accepted no.
tions of French girlhood by possess
ing the independence, not to say the
pertness, of manner and freedom Of
speech which we are accustomed to
regard as the exclusive dover of
the American girl. The story is
sparkling. and is done into English
acceptably.

"The Story Of the Plants, ,''by Grant
Allen, is a brief account of the prin-
cfpal phenomena of plant-life for
unscientific people. The aim of the
author has been to treat of the func-
tions and habits of plants rather than
Of their structure and classification;
to state the latest results of ad-
vanced botanical research in a pop
ular way, and to give a view of vege-
table life from the standpoint of evo-
lutionary science, showing how
heredity, variation, natural selection
and adaptation to the environment
are worked out in the plant world
AS always, Mr.. Allen is lucid and
readable.

The plot belongs to the francis estate,

to send a communication to the Common

bonds to the amount Of S50,ooo for the
purpose of erecting the building.

to the first best, $3.50 to the second, and

to the most suitable building to erect.
Counsellor Russ recommended that the

ton to that effect was unanimously
passed. Trustee O'Toole moved that
Mrs. Stevens be directed to purchase
the Francis property, and Secretary
Hatfield was Instructed to notify her OF
