GEN, sANBokN's IDEA
For a Solution OF tho Financial
Problem

Gen. Sanbnrn'S solution of the ma
tional financial problem occupied the
attention Of the chamber Of commerce
yesterday morning. The general advo-
Gated the issuing of five Or six hundred
millions OF 211a per cent flfty-year gold
bonds, to be sold by popular subscrip-
ton and the proceeds to be used to re.
tire the general governments floating
debt. Banks should pay no bank tax.
should be allowed to incorporate under
national laws with as low as $4,000
capital and should be enabled to issue
notes for the full amount of their
holdings of the bonds above named.
Then, if currency is worth
more than ~ per cent, the
bonds would be turned into currency;
if worth less, the bonds would supplant
currency. These ideas were brought
out by the reading OF letter from the
CITY bank, of buffalo, n. Y. suggesting
that all business men announce publicly
their desires on the proper solution OF
the currency question. The banking
committee will consider the advice and
report next Monday. Upon the sug-
gestion Of John a. Stees the committee
on buildings will discuss the proposition
that the city buy the old federal build
ing for public library. The special
order regarding necessary legislation
will incubate for another two weeks.
The chamber then adjourned, after an
unimportant discussion Of executive
sessions,

Citizens OF the Midway District
Protest to Mayor

Blind pigs are not to be tolerated any
longer in the Midway district. They
have been doing so we'll for the past
few months that they could not contain
their joy, and have betrayed their hid
ing places with audible sqeals
OF satisfaction. Moreover, their
victims have increased with
such rapidlty that drunkenness has
become common misdemeanor i'll

attention has been called to the mttter,
and something is going to drop. Yes
tertiay afternoon delegation of citi
zens representing Union Park, Hanline
and st. Anthony Park called upon the
mayor at his office, and held lengthy
conversation with his honor. The meet
ing was private, as it was not deemed
advisable to make public in detail the
Information furnished to the mayor.
1t is sufficient to say, however. that ac-
ton will at once be taken TO suppress
these blind pigs. The mayor expressed
himself after the meeting as heartily in
favor of putting stop to the illegal

attending an AtnpGrtaNC MeetluS
CT PCs;nas ters.
Postmaster Castle left for Washington
city Sunday evening to attend a meet
ing of postmaSters of the leading cities
of the country to confer OH matters OF
interest to the service, and will be abb
sent about a week.
A special feature of the postmasters'
meeting will be the consideration OF Con
greSsional House Bill No. Sc, commonly
known as the Post Office Clerks Glass
ification Rill." now pending. This bill
is deemed of so much Importance that
the postmaster general has urgently
recommended its passage, and all the
postmasters at first-class offices are
heartily in favor of it. It's hoped that
a consideration may be secured at this
session, in which case its passage is
deemed certain.
1t is 4 measure of manifest justice
and one which will appeal 10 the people
generally, as 1t now does to postofflco
officials, as soon as its merits are under
stood.
Under the present laws, a certain
SUN is appropriated fort the maintenance
of an office, and from this sufficient
number of clerks must be paid. II the
proper discharge Of the business OF the
public demand the employment of more
clerks, salaries must be reduced, and so
none of them can be assured this year
what his salary will be in the year to
come. This is not an idle fear, but an
actual experience.
Should the act of congress referred to
happily become law, the postal clerks
would receive for their first years serv-
ice salary Of $500, which would be in
creased by 500 for each additional year
of service until it reaches 5000. The
clerks would De classified and compcn-
stated according to their experience and
consequent degrees OF usefulness. SHch
a system has already been applied to
the manifest advantage of the service,
to the carriers and to the route agents
on mail trains. Its extension to the
clerks inside the postoffceS, the hardest
worked and in many cases poorest paid
class of public servants, would complete
the system and be an act OF long.de-
layed Justice.
The clerks of the ST. Paul Office, Or
ganized as branch of the national as
ISOLATION, hrst suggested this confer.
ence at WASHINGTON, and naturally feel
a deep interest in lis success. They
are certainly fortunate in having en-
listed the active, earnest cooperation
of not only the postmaster general, but
of every postmaster i'll the tlrst-ciasS
cities of the country.

FIREMEN WANT Law

School, y
AND APPROVES TWO BILLS,
AND AMENDMENT ASKED
| 7T7t
To the Law Requiring Fire
Equipment on Public &
Buildings. -

The legislative committee of the Min
nesota state fire commission was in SEES
sion all Of yesterday afternoon at fire
headquarters. There were twenty
eight out OF the thirty-five members of
the committee in attendance, represent
ing about fifteen cities. EX-Chief
Runge, of the Minneapolis fire depart
ment, presided as the chairman of the
committee.
The committee met in accordance
with the instructions of the last state
convention OF the association. to pre-
pare legislation needed by the fire de-
partments throughout the state. Two
proposed bills were discussed and
agreed upon. and sub-legisiatiYe CON-
mlttee appointed to draft them. One
of the bills is a measure requiring that
the pupils of all schools
Shall ZEE Drilled
in making lasty exits from the school
buildings. 1t is what is known as the
Sire drip law, In operation in many
states.
The other bill is simply an amend
meHt 10 the present law requiring all
hotels. theaters, manufactures and
public buildings to provide a sufficient
number of fire escapes, stand pipes,
hose and fire extinguishers. The pres
ent law governing this matter mas been
declared unconstitutional, lnasmuch as
it specifies what particular make of fire
eXtinguishers and other apparatus
snail be used in these buildings.
The following gentlemen were aD-
pointed as subcommittee to draft the
bills:
Chief Jackson. ex-Chief Runge. Chief
Webster, OF Red Wing: Chief Murphy,
of Mortified. and Chief Lafond, of Lit,
tie Falls. The committee will meet at
10 o'clock this morning.
AS for tie efforts OF the police depart
ment to secure the remaining Ealf of
the per cent tax Oh insurance con-
paiies, very little was said. The COM
mittee' will confine its efforts to pro-
tecting the fire departments againstany
move in the direction of repeating the
law whereby the fire departments re-
ceiye the per cent. An attempt to re-
peal this law is made at every session of
the legislature, and. now that the pc.
lcemen are trying 10 secure the other
half of the tax, it is thought that the
new agitation may lead to renewed eff
forts to repeal the present law. J

their store for four weeks that promi ses

Edison's latest and most wonderful in

debteenesS was settled. | mortgaged
my homestead to square myself with
my creditors. That it did not impair
MT. HIPS confidence in me is shown
by his loan subsequently made with n
full knowledge of my business failure.
The real reason is that my eonvic-
lions as a-Democrat and my duty when
all officer of its organization compelled
me to refuse my assent or aid to some
OF Mir. Hills political schemes. He
wanted me to aid in the election of
Frank Searles,a Republican, as speaker
