in yesterdays GIob e, places our
school system at the head of the roll
of honor. It Is the plain fact that the
system cannot be maintained, that eff
Gent teachers cannot be secured and
kept, If there is any such savage cut
ting off Of resources as is now pro-
posed. Some economies, we doubt not,
may be made. But if the cut of $685. 900
should be concurred in, it would mark
the reduction of our schools to the
level Of ineficiency. We do not believe
that the people desire or would sane
ton such an act. To the council this
whole matter will now be referred.
We expect it to receive there a fair
and dispassionate treatment; and that
the representatives of the people will
order the contamination of all pract-
zeal economies, making an immense net
saving and a great reduction of the
tax rate, without so far invading the
resources Of any department as to
cripple it's operation or impair it's fut-
ure usefulness.

THOMPSON STILL LIvEA
And the Mystery of His Shooting Is
UnSOJved.

There are practically no new develop
ments in the Thompson shooting ARRAY.
ThOmpSOn'S condition was about the
same at midnight as it was Monday.
The police profess to have made no new
discoveries.
1t was reported yesterday that Hos
kins had left the city. He was not
around to see his friend. His departure
while it may not shed any light upon
the situation, will cause speculation.
He left Thompsons bedside Sunday,
about midnight, promising Mrs. Thomp-
son to return Monday noon. Since then
he has not been near the Thompson
residence, nor has he been seen by any
OF his associates
IL has been learned, however, that he
called at Sargent's restaurant Monday
morning at $50, and asked for waiter
whom he claimed owed him ST. Upon
learning that the waiter would not come
on watch for nearly an hour, he inquired
where he lived and started for his home.
1t was, however, apparently too far to
walk and Hoskins came back to the
restaurant In few minutes saving he
would remain until the waiter arrived.
lie stated to the proprietor that he was
III pressing hurry and wanted him to
advance the 81 and draw on the waiter
TO even things up. This the gentleman
refused to do. Hoskins then ordered
some breakfast and after eating it read
the paper until his friend came to work
when he asked for his money, paid for
the meal ne had eaten and started for
the door. His friend, the waiter, how
ever, had heard of Hoskins' connection
with the Thompson case and, calling
MIN back, asked him how the wounded
man was. Hoskins replied that he was
Daoly hurt, and said further that he,
i1oSklnS, was going to get out of town.
IL such thlng were possible, as quickly
as he could. Being curious to learn
something about the case the waiter
asked Hoskins if he knew any of the
circumstances.
Yes. Hoskins is reported to have re-
Piled. L know all about, but it was
purely an accident"
With these words he left the place
and hurried down Seventh street
When Informed of Hoskins' reported de-
parture last evening, Mrs. Thompson
eVlnced some surprise, though she at
tached no significance to his disappear
ance. One gentleman who has been
closely connected with the case since the
night Thompson was shot, stated last
evening that it was his opinion that
the police were entirely too clever to
let Hoskins leave town If he knew any
thing about the affair."
Dr. Appleby called on his patient sew
eral times yesterday and found him do
ing remarkably well. Should Thomp-
sons condition become no worse from
complications, Dr. Appleby states that

AT THE THEATERs.

Henry NJ Pitt and his company are pleas
ing the patrons at the Metropolitan opera
house this week in 1.-The Rajah." The play
is most interesting one, interpreted by q
good company and the scenic mountings Of
the play appropriate and elaborate "The
Rajah' will be the attraction at this theater
all the remainder Of the week, including two
holiday performances today.
GA Yenuine Yentleman" will be the hoIi-
day bill at the Grand twice today. The play
is a decided novelty and is a treat to the
theater-goer because of the plays originality
and the fact that the principal action centers
played by Mr.. Heege is characterization that
will rank with any given on the American
stage.
The sale of season tickets for the DAM
rosch opera season will begin at the Metro
politan opera house tomorrow morning and
continue three days, ending Saturday evening.
After that time the sale of single tickets will
be on. The repertoire for the engagement is
as follows: Thursday evening. Jan. 8, Ell
delio;" Friday evening, Jan. 10, die Meis-
tersinger;" Saturday matinee, Jan. IL, "Tann-
hauser;" Saturday evening, Jan. II, "Die
Walkure.' The management of the Metro
politan opera house have had hundreds of in
quiries for this season of grand opera and
there WILL without doubt be a large line of
ticket buyers at the box Office tomorrow
morning.
1.-THE Black Crook will be the attraction
at the Grand all next week.

ST. PAUL,s NEW YEAR.

We publish this morning the replies
of number of representative citizens
of ST. Paul to the question, what does
We are especially pleased with the
heartily courageous and confident sp:r-
it breathed by the answers given to
this query. An unshakable conviction
Of the greatness and security of our
future is the first condition Of success.
That, we believe, Is felt by our citi-
zens today as 1t has not been before
for many years. And one of the most
inspiring causes Is the effort being
made on every hand for retrenchment
and economy. This has become the
universal sentiment. It is now being
transformed into action. And every
citizen feels, and rightly SO, that this
is the first step toward a still greater
prosperity. The regime of economy
answers the one great need Of the city.
A large number of minor wants to
be supplied are pointed out in these
responses; and it is easy to see that
all of them can be satisfied by public
earnestness and effort.
Never, we are inclined to think, has
the true civic spirit been more general,
more alert, more determined to achieve
results than 1t is today. This is the
best guarantee of the future. Let it
only be remembered that good govern
ment, on which success and prosperity
depend, means the selection Of the
best men for Office, and the subordina-
ton of political ambition to the best
interests of the city of our love and
pride. The skies are bright with prom
Use. We belive that the wish which we
utter with a fervent heart, Of a happy
New Year for st. Paul and for all it's
people. is more certain to be realized
than any of the cordial greetings
which will pass from lip to lip this
morning. That is the New Years sa-
lutte which the Glob e offers to the
community from which it has received
so warm and hearty a support, and
which it is bent upon serving through
the years both old and new.

THE GLOBE ALMANAC.

we are pleased TO announce with
the new year the appearance of the
G o Almanac, which will be found
altogether the completest and most
valuable book Of reference ever offered
to the readers Of the Northwest. In
arranging for the preparation Of this,
the G o b e has had in mind some
thing better than the incomplete COM
pilations of statistics that have long
done duty under the name Of newspaper
almanacs. 1t has aimed to obtain for
the people book of reference that
would be in itself the equivalent of a
little library. And that we can say is
literally true of the new Globe AL
manac, which is now in course Of prep
aratlon and will be ready for public use
within a week from date 1t contains,
in condensed form, the most valuable
portions of the information that is
usually sought in many-volumed en-
cyclopedias, while 1t is crammed with
matter of current interest that cannot
be found anywhere else. 1t includes,
within it's $50 pages, everything that
the busy man wants to refer to, and all
that the student Of affairs most desires
to know.
The forty-eight colored maps con-
tanned in this invaluable handbook, in
Guiding all of the United States, Can
ada and Central America, are enough
in themselves to recommend it to ev-
cry reader. In it's preface Of thirty
two pages will be found complete de-
scription of Minnesota, a historical
survey Of the state, an ample summary
of its splendid resources, and all the
statistical facts relating to it that are
| useful for reference. Following this
comes the almanac proper, and then
there follow hundreds of pages of gen.
eral information about almost every
thing under the sun. Political plat
forms, election returns, agricultural
statistics, facts about the armies, ma
vies, schools and churches of the world,
finance, complete record of sporting
events, with dictionaries of legal, mer-
camille and mechanical terms-aH these
combined between the handsome COW
ers of the G o b e Almanac constitute
1t the most compact treasury of val
liable information that has ever been
gathered together in such form. The
G b e is glad to offer to the public
in this large and beautiful volume, to
be obtained within few days at its
counting room, the one thing that no
man of intelligence and interest in
affairs can afford to be without.

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.

1t is not a pleasant New Years gift
that the country receives at the hands
of an incompetent and careless con-
Eress. 1t is now well understood that
another issue of bonds, this time for
S200,000,00o, has been negotiated; and
khat these bonds will be placed the mo-
ment that it becomes evident that the
gold reserve can no longer be protect
ed. For thirty years the people of this
country will have to pay 4 per cent in
terest on an Indebtedness of $500, 0O0,-
600, in addition to bonds already exist
ing, as the price Of the refusal of con-
gross to do it's duty. This policy has
been forced on the administration. 1t
asked for rational legislation, and the
Reed majority answered with a bill
that compels the retention in use of
the legal tenders which are the cause
of the whole trouble. Nothing remains
but to use the power at its command.
the only power to keep the treasury
of the United States solvent in the
eyes of the world.
This further addition to our bonded
sebt will avail nothing. That is the
