The sum involved in the difference be-
tween them is slight one. The only
question is that which relates to the
reduction made in the salaries of pa
trclmen and officials under the plan of
retrenchment adopted few months
ago. The new roll was made up by the
department, and If not acceptable to
the men, as salary reductions seldom
are, 1t would have provoked no great
remonstrance if it had gone through.
Instead of that, one body of the coun-
Gil has refused to pass the pay rolls at
the reduced figures and the result has
been that the policemen have not been
able to obtain any money from the city
either at the old or the new rates of
compensation
This is no less than, a wanton out
rage. These servants of the people
have been performing their duties as
regularly and as faithfully as ever,
and have now been compelled to subsist
for months without receiving any sal
airy whatever. They have had to sup
port their families upon credit; and
there being no prospect of an agree
ment between the assembly and the
board of aldermen, they have decided
to bring separate actions for the
amounts due to them. This is not to
the credit of the city either at home
or abroad. There is no issue involved
which warrants such action. The couu-
Gil should put stop to this fooling
and pay the policemen money that they
have earned without any more delay,
or without involving either the
men or the city in the expense
necessary to carry through several
score of actions at law which cannot
possibly result in any other way than
in verdicts against the city.

PUT AN END TO 1T.

Public patience is about exhaust
ed with the succession of law suits by
which the faithful servants of the peo-
pie are obliged to obtain the salaries
that they have earned. First it was
Mr.. McCardy's obstinacy which held
up their back pay after provision had
been made for it financially, and both
policemen and firemen were compelled,
after waiting about two years, to re-
sort to the courts in order to obtain
moneys that were due to them, and
that the public unanimously wished to
have paid. Now we have another COM
plication which is no less uncalled for
or absurd. The two houses of the coun-
ell have come to deadlock over the pay
rolls of the police and fire departments.

pianist, Paderewski, in a grand piano re-

succession of ovations, and his performances
everywhere have been greeted with the most
intense enthusiasm. Wherever he has ap-
peared he has been the idol of the hour, and
judging from the criticisms he has received
he has deserved all the honors paid him. and
is, in fact, as he has been pronounced by
America as we'll as Europe, the greatest art
ist of his time.
His appearance tonight will be another tri-

the reception he will receive from the music

of good seats left in the parquet circle, bal

the best thing that could have hap
pened as matters finally stood. When
the process of unseating members to
turn a minority into majority began,
and when the governor of the state
called out the militia, ostensibly to pre-
serve order, but really to bring the
pressure of armed force upon the peo-
pies representatives, it was time to
go home and take a sober second
thought. Out of the legislature as it
was not possible that any wise or we'll
considered action could come. And
now all the country can look to Ken
lucky and study it's experience as a
lesson in the consequences of making
the silver question the sole standard
of party loyalty, and of insisting that
majorities shall not rule. Probably the
Republicans hope to win some advan-
tage by having Gov. Bradley appoint
senator to fill the vacancy. But the
federal senate has recently decided, in
three precisely similar cases that came
before it, one from Washington, one
from Montana and one from wyoming,
that the appointing. power of the gov
ernor exists only during a legislative
recess; and that where the legislature
has met and failed to elect, the va
cancy so created must remain untitled
until another session and an election. 1t
is quite possible that the Republicans
in the present senate, whose course in
the Dupont case shows that they will
not stick at precedents, would make
an attempt to admit the man whom
Gov. Bradley might name. But it is
hardly probable that majority could
be obtained to reverse a decision once
rendered after careful examination and
by a practically unanimous opinion.
The people of the state and the Demo-
Gratis of the country will find it to their
advantage to study the causes which
have led to the deplorable condition of
political affairs in Kentucky.

NAVAL BILL.
1t Will Carry Largest ApprOpria-
tiOns Made Since the War,

tiOns Made Since the War.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE naval ap-
preparation bill for the next fiscal year will
contain the most liberal allowance for the in
crease of the navy carried by any bill since
the war. Four battleships and fifteen torpedo
beats were the decision of the committee on
the question of new vessels, which had been
the principal point of discussion in many
meetings The Democrats fought hard today
to secure six battleships but the Repub-
licans stood we'll together and carried their
point. The vote was: Yeas-Democrats-
Cummings, of New York; Meyer, of Louisiana;
Money of Mississippi: Tate, of Georgia; Hart
of Pennsylvania. Republicans-Hanley, of
Indiana. Nays-Republicans- OF
Maine Hulick of Ohio; Hilborn, of Cali
York. Foss, of Illinois; Dayton, of West Vir-
ginia.
There was something of dispute over an
attempt by the Democrats to cast vote by
proxy for Mr.. Hail. of Missouri, who was alb
sent, but the chairman decided this to be in
admissible The four battleshps will be of
II 900 tons each, and the cost is not to exceed
So, $50, 900 each, exclusive of armament, which
is thought to be an ample provision, as other
ships of the same class have been built in
recent years we'll within that figure. Five of
the torpedo boats are to have speed of twen-
tysiX knots, and to cost within $3.50, 900 each; (;
knots, and their cost limit is 100000 each.
The new craft will be built by contract and
the navy department is left free to expend as
much of the appropriations 1t needs in the
next fiscal year. The next largest provision
for new navy was made in the Fifty-first
congress, when the appropriation bill carried
three battleships.

Dor at or near Los Angeles bay; improving

tracts, will say that it has found that about

NO sENATOR FROM KENTUCKY,

The adjournment of the Kentucky
legislature without choosing a success
or to Senator Blackburn will leave that
state, after the 4th Of March, with only
Mr.. Lindsay as its representative in
the United States senate. 1t is the
best result that could have been expect
ed from situation so anomalous and
so threatening as that which has ex-
listed in Kentucky for some time past
The G e reviewed yesterday the
circumstances of the case. From the
day that the legislature met there was
unscrupulous means or by a combina-
ton with the Populist members. The
dividing line in the Democratic party
had been drawn so black and deep bv

were loyal to the state convention and
its platform TO vote for him. The

two members of the legislature died
during the session; undoubtedly as a
result of the terrific strain and excite

The city authorities should not leave
unexercised any legal means within
their power to compel the construction,
at the earliest possible date, of a new
bridge over the Summit avenue cross
ing of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
and not creditable to the company that
there should be any controversy on the
subject whatever. The present bridge
at that point on Summit avenue was
even when it was constructed. 1t would
be poor sort of concern to be placed
in like situation on the outskirts of
any country village. 1t is too narrow
is an antiquated wooden affair that
would be In place orly where a few
conveyances per day should be the limit
of its use. Stationed as it is between
and handsomest thoroughfare in ST.
Paul, it is an offense not only against
beauty, but against the public con-
venience and public safety. Nowhere
else in the environs Of st. Paul is there
any such bridge as this spanning the
tracks of any railroad.
The city has waited too long upon
the pleasure of the company, hoping
that by such Difference it might secure
without struggle the construction Of
the right kind of bridge at the Summit
avenue crossing. 1t now appears, from
what has been said by the representa-
tives of the railroad company, that it
will insist upon waiting several years
more before doing anything whatever;
and it offers to the people only vague
and general promise then. The matter
should be taken up at once and Wig
orously A city is not without redress
in such circumstances, and If the coun-
Gil shall push this matter as it ought to
be, we can get rid of the inconvenience
and danger of the miserable apology
for bridge that now disgraces Sum-
nit avenue. The attitude of the rail-
road company makes it clear that there
should be no hesitation CT surrender
to delusive policies whose chief pur-
pose is to secure delay.
