PRESS CLUB BY MOONLIGHT.
How Those Who Went ON the Ex-
cursiOn Last Night behaved.


The st. Paul Press club gave one of
its enjoyable moonlight excursions
down the Mississippi last night. The
steamer Flora Clark had been char
tered for the occasion and at 8 o'clock
left the foot of Jackson street with
about 200 club members and their
friends. The st. Anthony Hill orches-
ira held forth on the barge, and to
their lively airs the jolly crowd danced
itself tired.
On the return trip the party assem-
bled in the steamer cabin to en1oy an
extemporaneous literary and musical
programme. Prof. Oscar Lienau rem
dered several very pleasing solos, while
Miss Cornelia Neltnor received the
most enthusiastic applause for her rem
dition of Benjamin Kings selection
"If Could Only Be BY Her Side" can
Evening Idyl," and 'The Facial Fam
ily." Franklyn w. Lee contributed
largely to the pleasure of the evening
by reciting his paraphrase of "Bingen
on the Rhine" responding to an en-
core with an original Swedish dialect
selection. Mrs. Jonathan Straight de-
lighted the audience with a recital Of
Burdette's experience with a linen
duster.
Among those present were Mr.. and

Lower Taxes ON Homes


To the Editor, of the Globe:
L have been quite interested in the
discussion of taxation that has been
going on in the G o for some time
past, and took special note of Mr..
Horr's communication in the issue of
Sept. 4.
Economical administration, reason
able salaries, lower taxes, are all in
the right direction. Lower taxes are
especially to be desired, if we consider
the homes and industries of the people.
Right here is an important point for
consideration. Our homes and bust
ness enterprises have been and are
now taxed unjustly high, in order that
unimproved property might be let
down easy. Here. is an illustration: In
the ne1ghborhood of my home at st.
Anthony Park the vacant lots are sub
Ject to- Al very light general tax. Elm
mating special taxes, 1t is safe to say
that vacant lots are taxed from 81 to
about Sc or 81 apiece per year, while
the homes of the people adjoining are
taxed $40, $40, and, in some cases, $50
year.

Engineer Rundlett against the CITY.
the object of the action being to test,
the legality of the Hare resolution re-
duclng the salaries of city officials.
The case was argued by Attorneys
j. c. Michael and w. ]. Romans for
the plaintiff, and Robertson Howard
Tor the defendant. Mr. Howard con-
tended that the special law of 1876.
hiking the salary of the city engineer
OF 81. Paul at $500 and giving the
council the right to change il from
time to time had never been repeaIed
as far as the right of the council TO
reduce the amount was concerned. IN
the act of 1888 this clause was omitted.
but the act only repealed "alI acts and
parts OF acts inconsistent, ETC." and
thls clause in the act of 1876 was NOT
inconsistent. The act of 1887 bv which
the salary of the city engineer of ST
,Paul was raised to 5000, made. only
a IKE provision for the repeal of laws
previously passed on the same subject
ana the act of 1891 simply took away
the right of the council to increa se
the salary, but left the right to de-
crease unimpaired
On the other hand, the ATTORNEYS for
MT. Rundlett argued that the law of
1876 was superseded by that of 1878. in
which was embodied this provision
giving the council power to change the
salary, and this law was again super
seded by the act of 1881. in which the
same clause was, still retained. But
this clause was not Incorporated in
the act of 1888, and if it had been the
intention of the legislature that it
incorporated it, as had been done on

construction might be put upon the

st. Paul's Citizenss Committee
Starts on It's Mission.

The special citizens committee ap-
pointed to labor in the interests of Sc
curing the National G. A r. en-
campment for st. Paul in 1896, left last
night for Louisville to begin its work.
The committee consisted Of Chairman
j. j. McCardy, ex-Gov. A. R. McGill,
Hon. Albert Scheffer, Capt Henry A.
Castle, Maj. John Espy, J. H. Beck, Of
the Jobbers' union, E. Vanish, vice
president of the Commercial club, AS
semblyman Lewis, Judge John P. Rea,
of Minneapolis, r. A. Beck and George
Benz. The committee on reaching
Louisville tonight will open up head
quarters at the Gait house and COM
mence an active and vigorous cam
paign. They anticipate little or no op-
position, as it was practically agreed
at Pittsburg last year that st. Paul
should have the preference for 1896.
Louisville delegates at that time prom
ised to aid st. Paul in her endeavors
provided ST. Paul would aid her then,
and the agreement was entered into.
On Wednesday the encampment meets
and in all probability the selection Of
the next place for the encampment will
be made on that day. The great pa
rade will occur on Thursday. A large
delegation of veterans will attend from

knocking him down and kicking him
in the face. A number of men on the
car, including Mitchell, were so indig-
nant at the outrageous conduct of the
negroes that they decided to get off at
Midway and walk the remainder of the
distance to st. Paul, but on the con-
ductor's assurance that the disorder
would be stopped they returned to their
seats. The trouble, however, con-

NUMBERS NOT ESSENTIAL.
st. Paul the Metropolis of Mime
sofa.

Sioux Falls Press.
According to the official figures Of
the Minnesota census, Minneapolis has
a. population of 1872, ,S33, and st. Paul
shows up with only 140,292 But it may
be said that cities are great not alto
gether by reason of numbers. Mime
apolis may perhaps count more people,
. but the fact will remain that st. Paul
is the metropolis of Minnesota and the
new N northwest. Minneapolis is a sweet
ana delightful overgrown village-but
st. Paul is city, with the attributes of
an urban existence. The style and
spirit of the two localities respectively
are as different as could be imagined.
1t might be possible to aggregate some
where in a confined area a population
greater than that of New York-but on
this continent there is no population
that approaches the city of New York
in the characteristics of a metropolis
those peculiar traits which mark a city
as an ultimate center. And so, while
minneapolis may have more residents
than st. Paul, this does not at all ar
que that Minneapolis is a greater or
more important eXemplification of
cityhood than st. Paul. Many a man
has weighed more pounds than some
other fellow-but not nearly so many
ounces to the pound so far as power
and influence are concerned. For in
stance, Council Bluffs might have twice
the population of Omaha, and Omaha
would still be the central figure of it's
