HOWARD CHARTER VOTE POST.
PONED.

The inability of the aldermen. at a.
special session called yesterday, to
take any action looking toward a vote
on the Howard charter at the coming
election settles the matter for the pres
ent. 1t had already been decided in
erect that the proposed municipal law
would not come before the people in
May. Without favorable action bv
both houses Of the council, and the an
prevail of the mayor the charter vote
could not be taken at this time. At
the special meeting yesterday the legal
point was made and sustained that no
ordinance could be considered except at
regular meeting. The subject, there
fore, went over, and it is now definitely
settled that if the Howard charter is
to be passed upon it will be at a
special election. If those who have
devoted themselves to promoting a
scheme Of government that has been
the parent Of unnumbered abuses in
American cities insist upon forcing the
people to submit it at an expense of
many thousand dollars in order to
take a vote upon their particular whim.
they are welcome to what they can get
out of it.
While we would have been glad to
see this troublesome matter disposed

DEMOCRATS IN LINE.

Harmony, enthusiasm and confidence
prevailed yesterday among the Dem
ocrats of st. Paul On every side
We're heard the warmest expressions of
approval and the heartiest apprecia-
ton of the action of the committee
that met to discuss the local situation
and to take counsel for the future on
Wednesday evening. Every Democrat
in st. Paul wore brighter face and
commended the steps that had been
taken. There was but one sentiment,
which was that the work so we'll be-
gun should be prosecuted with vigor
to a successful conclusion. st. Paul
is a Democratic city. Nothing but the
most criminal Indifference to the inter
ests Of the party and the people could
eminent to other hands. With a way
opened for the harmonious action of
all voters in the party, and the assur-
ance of ticket holding the respect
and confidence Of the people, no room
was left for doubt as to the result.
Both Democrats and Republicans
said freely that if Mr. Dawson should
consent to accept a nomination, he
would sweep the city against any can
didate who might be nominated; if,
indeed, the Republican organization
should think it worth while to make
a contest in that event. This is a
splendid beginning for the campaign
in behalf of the united Democracy of
st. Paul. 1t has the right spirit. 1t
aims at an honest and economical con-
duct of local affairs; at the reduction
OF taxation; at a business administra-
ton. These are watchwords that have
such power today as they never had
before. The whole community is awake
to the necessity of retrenchment, and
Of having at the head of affairs man
OF experience, Of answering honesty.
of fearlessness and Of intense devo-
ton to the interests of ST. Paul. Fight
ing on this line, the Democratic party
of st. Paul will have the sympathy
and cooperation Of all the people of
the city, save only the Republican ma
chine whose selfish plans have been
founded upon the hope of Democratic
d1sorganization and disaster. For this
they have schemed, and they have an
nounced boldly their intention to can
ture the city and to give it a partisan
Republican administration, with all
that the words imply. Now let the
earnest Democrats who have made a.
noble beginning go forward without
falterlng, and the people will stand
by to help in the work that is so pc
culiarly their own.

A WEAK RELIANCE.

The adverse report made on the bill
before congress to grant to the state
Of Minnesota the original building at
Fort Smelling, to be used by the state
as museum and preserved forever
as a sort of historical monument. is
not only disappointing in itself. but If
has a moral in its bearing unon q euo-
gest1on often heard with reference to
a public library building for St Paul
There are not few people who still
insist that If we wait two or three
years longer the old postoffice BUILDING
will be available. This, they tell you,
with an airy wave of the hand that
causes all doubts to vanish in thin
air, can be obtained from the govern
ment without difficulty by a simple act
of congress. If anybody has really
held that opinion, his mind should be
disabused of it by the unfavorabIe re-
port on the bill just referred to.
There were thousand times as manv
and as good reasons why the govern
ment should turn over to the state the
old and useless structures at Fort
Smelling as there are why it should
make st. Paul a present of the old post
Office and custom house. The purpose
to which the Fort Smelling property
was to be put was not a private one.

A NEW JERSEY REMEDY

Contingent fees in litigation are some
what akin TO contingent remainders in
realty law; good things if the right
thing happens. In the case of the fee.
the right thing to happen is a jurv
with shade of bias against corpora-
lions and susceptibility to a lawyers
TRADE against them, with a notion that
corporations need to be financially bled
occasionally to keep them from get
ting too robust for public comfort or
veal. The good thing then comes in
a swinging verdict of damages. half
OF which usually goes to the attorney
for the plaintiff. The old common law
against champerty forbade agreements
for shares Of the judgment contingent
on success; and, while there is reason
ana justice in the arguments that led
to Its repeal in this country the public
policy of the old law is seen here in
the multiplicity Of litigation where the
lawyers fees are contingent on his
winning the case Especially has this
been noticeable in the cases known
as personal injury cases." suits
against corporations for injury occa-
stoned by their servants.
Between the alacrity of the lawyers
who make these cases a speciality. their
mercantile solicitation of them and an
increasing Indifference as to the means
used to secure verdicts, on the one
hand, and the equal adroitness, alert
ness and Indifference on the part of
the corporations, on the other, there
is evident a reaction in the direction
of the old champerty law. New Jer-
sey has just enacted law that goes
a step in that direction by recurring
that the contract between the LAWYER
and his client shall be submitted to
and approved by the judge in whose
court the case is to be tried, who can
reduce the percentage of the LAWYER.
II he deem it excessive to such figure
as he considers reasonable. The stem
is in the right direction; but Judges
were lawyers before they donned the
ermine, and naturally look with a
lawyers liberality on the value of legal
services. When the legislature Of this
state was considering the matter the
b suggested as a sufficing rem
edy that the jury, if they found for
the plaintiff. should apportion their
award between the lawyer and his
client. The suggestion received the
cold shoulder from the lawyers in the
legislature, as also the various other
plans for lessening champertous litiga-
ton.

OF for good and all at the coming cleo
ton, and especially to avoid the pos
slbility of the cost Of q special cleo
ton, we would be much better salts
ned II the agitation should be dropped
altogether as it ought to be for the
present. There would have been some
disadvantage in taking a vote on the
proposed law at a time when the at
tention of the public will be concentrate
ed upon the selection Of city officers,
and when bad law like this might
possibly Slip through, owing to the
inattention Of the voters and the lack
OF time toIeducate them thoroughly on
the issue. lit is;therefore, on the whole,
not misfortune that the project for a
Howard charter vote is knocked out.
we are convinced that if a straight
contest is made in the future on this
one question, the people Of ST. Paul
will not put themselves upon the Ounce
block by making this the only city in
the state to adopt the general munich
pal act which, though containing a
few good features is based upon a
radically defective system, and whose
advocates, after weeks Of public dis
cussion and unlimited opportunities to
reply, on the platform or through the
press, to the criticisms and challenges
OF their opponents, have not yet
brought one particle Of evidence to

G. A. r.. WORK.
Executive Committee Has Several
Matters to Consider.


Matters to Consider.
The executive committee of the G. A. R.
general committee will meet in the Endicott
building at p. m tonight. While few mat
tiers of general interest will be considered
many accumulated details of committee work
will be disposed of. The line of march for
the parades Of next September may be taken
UP. Some citizens advocate a single route,
while others believe that different parades
should adopt different routes and thus favor
all parts of the city. The advocates of
line OF march confined to st. Anthony hill
Will IND good many who think such a.
route would be particularly inconyenient to
the paraders.
The executive committee is gratifed to
learn that 1t will be granted the use of the
Beaupre building at Broadway and Fifth
street. This large structure formerly ac-
commodated the business of an extensive
wholesale grocery firm. 1t will afford ample
room for storing COTS mattresses, decoration
materials and the like, and will be utilized
later as general workshop for the en-
pioyes OF the encampment committee Its
position along side the railroad tracks will
save the large item of truck hire and will
permit goods to be handled with unusual ex-
petition.
|. The finance committee Of the general COM
mittee has begun in earnest the work of Sc
curing the necessary funds to assure the sue
cess OF the encampment. Another meeting of
solicitors will be held at the headquarters in
the Endicott building at p. m. today, when
at least ten well-known gentlemen will re-
ceive detailed instruction as to the best meth
DDS OF conducting their financial operations.
1t has been arranged that the heads Of va
rious subcommittee shall each undertake the
work among the members of certain trade
or profession. The chairman Of the subcom-
mittee will recommend to the finance commit
tee the names of men whom ne desires to ap-
point as his assistants. The arduous labor of
canvassing the entire city will be performed
gratuitously by the many citizens who de-
sire that the encampment shall encounter no
disappointment. en-

this section. That laudable OBJ
the secretary Of war regards 1t
as essential that the governments
property at Fort Smelling should
remain intact; but less on account of
his personal opinion than because it is
an almost unbroken rule in all the
departments that precedent shall not
be formed that would warrant gen.
eral and indiscriminate grants of pub
lie property to states, cities or indi-
viduals.
We cannot say that this rule is
a bad one. However harshly it may
seem to operate at times, this is. the
only safeguard against a general loot
ing of the federal resources. Were it
not rigidly observed, every session of
congress would see hundreds of bills
put through to make a present Of gov
eminent lands and buildings some
where to interested parties, on the
ground that they were no longer Of
public utility. In any event, wise or
unwise, the rule stands and will be OBJ
served. 1t has not only put an end
to the project for state museum with
the old fort at Smelling as it's central
attraction, but it makes it absolutely
certain that under no circumstances
will the postoffice building in st. Paul
be available for library purposes. This
is good thing to know, because it
makes it all the more imperative that
we push forward the work of procuring
a new building along lines that are
