banquet of the Tippecanoe club tonight at the

nearly all the leading Republicans of the

Kinley was the guest of honor, and his ad-

evening. In the course of his address, Mai

AN EXPENSIVE FOLLY.
County and City Governments
Should Be Consolidated.

Should Be Consolidated.
To the Editor of the Globe.
This seems to be the season of economiZing
in municipal affairs, and all sorts Of schemes
are presented and discussed, from Mr.. Par
kers resolution to a change of charters. 1t
is generally admitted by all citizen taxpayers
that something must be done to reduce ex-
penses, or taxes cannot and will not be paid.
IL does not appear to have been suggested
that we have been and are now paying for
an expensive and absolutely useless piece of
machinery in our county government. The
county of Ramsey outside of the city of St.
Paui, really amounts TO very little either in
tefrltorial extent population or wealth and
the maintenance of a separate government
for this mere remnant, is an expensive folly.
mere is very easy way to get rid OF it.,
and while the community has it's attention
directed to retrenchment, is good time to
make the suggestion.
At the time of the framing OF the constitu-
ton, as far back 1857. this condition of
things was anticipated, and st. Paul was ex-
pected to Outgrow Ramsey county to such an
extent as to make it desirable to consolidate
the two governments and to meet this emer-
gency the following clause was inserted in
the constitution, and still remains there:
Section of article XI. provides as follows:
Section 2. Organization of Cities Into
Counties-The legislature may organize any
city into separate county when it has at
tanned population of twenty thousand in
habtants. without reference to geographical
extent. when majority of the electors of the
county in which such city may be situated,
voting thereon, shall be in favor of a sep
arate organization"
All that is necessary is for the legislature
to pass an act declaring the city of St. Paul
to be also the county of Ramsey, including
within its limits all the territory en-
braced within the county lines, and having
the city government perform all the duties
now performed by the county officers, and
submit the matter to the people of the county
for their ratification or rejection at the polls
1t probably will not meet the ready approba-
ton of the residents outside of the city linn
its or those who expect to hold the county
a mere bagatelle when compared with the
inhabitants of the city who will be benefited
by the change. Why not try this plan? There
appears to be some practical sense in it, l
have not figured up the saving that would
result, but it will not be very difficult sum
for some one familiar with such matters.
Think of it, taxpayers, and if you find it a
good thing, push it along.'

The Young Mems Democratic club met last
night at the rooms in the New York Life

on the money question by A. D. Smith.

Jones was the greatest master of finance in

ton was being led by Senator John Sher-
man. He stated that the New York poll
ticians were all of one breed, regardless Of
party, and that the hope of the Democratic
party was a platform advocating the free
coinage of silver at a ratio Of Is to 1, and
that to have the party win with that plat
form they must look to the West and South.
Mr.. Smith also spoke of Senator Tilman and
cry Simpson, as statesmen, in very glowing
terms G. ]. Buell. made few remarks

DREW A GUN ON GOVEN.
A Drunk and Disorderly Threatens
to Shoot an Officer.

10 ShOOt an officer.
James Wilson, steamftter twenty-six years
olo, was arrested last evening by Officer Goven
ana booked at the central station on the charge
OF drunk and disorderly conduct and carrying
concealed weapons. Had the circumstances
been different, however, Wilson might have
been charged with a more serious crime as
when his arrest was first attempted he drew
an ugly looking pistol and threatened to shoot
the officer if he approached him AS Officer
Goyen reached the corner of Fifth and Jack
son Streets shortly after 10 o'clock, he noticed
three men on the opposite side of Jackson
street engaged in an angry conversation and
started toward them to ascertain what was the
trouble
One of the group left his companions and
walked up the street, and upon the officer
starting in his direction and ordering him to
stop, turned with leyeled pistol in his hand
saying: If you come another step I'll plug
you. With this he slowly backed to the
corner and disappeared in an alley back of
the st. Paul Savings bank. Officer Goven
followed the man and found him lying down
between two buildings. On being searched,
the weapon with which he had threatened
murder could not be found, but later it was
discovered a few feet from where Wilson had
attempted to conceal himself. One chamber
was empty, while two cartridges bore the
marks of the trigger having been snapped
upon them. 1t is thought that Wilson at
tempted to discharge the revolver at the Of
ficer, but that defect of some kind cir
cumvented his designs.

GUESSING AT NEWS.
TeIke Case Will Not Go to the Jury
Till Monday.

Some newspapers publish the news,
and others guess at it. An evening
paper said last evening: 1.-The case Of
the state against August Telke went
to the jury this afternoon" 1t so hap
pens, however, that it will go to the
jury Monday morning, and not before.
The arguments were completed yester-
day, but the court did not instruct the
jury, adjourning the case over until
Monday, as he will hold no court to-
day. Assistant County Attorney Dom
nelly made the best argument he has
ever been heard to make in court.
This was probably due to the fact that
he was little worked up over the at
titude of the court in the trial of the
case.
