Now, precisely the same argument
applies to every other street in the busr

vacant lot on one OF the streets now
given over to rotten cedar blocks is
cutting himself off from the future

WHY HOLD A CONVENTIONS

The Republican state convention will
meet this moLing, but why there
should really be any such meeting we
cannot for the life of us determine. In
the election of delegates to this gath
ering it has been made SO obvious that
the Republican voters of the state have
nothing to say about it that we can
not conceive why their so-called rep
resentatives should take the trouble to
travel up hither III exceedingly hot
weather and go to the expense and dis
comfort of spending several days to no
other purpose than to register the or
ders that they have already received
The word went out months ago that
Gov. Clough was to be renominated.
and that was all that there was to it.
The strong machine that stands behind
him, and whose operat lions are now rec
ognized and admitted by everybody in
Minnesota, has practically settled
everything in advance. 1t has left a
Few Of the minor offices open for the
boys to fight over. That is part of the
tactics OF every machine. There is a
little handful Of state offices which no
body cares about particularly, and
which are thrown into the convention
as one losses a few coppers into a
bunch of boys to see them scramble
for the gains. But these emoluments
are not worth bothering about and
certainly not worth the trouble of hold
ing primaries, county conventions and
big state gathering of over 100 dele
gates.
The Republican machine of Mime
sofa is completely organized, and the
party is INTERESTINGLY in its grasp. 1t
will work it's will with the voters I'M
less the Democracy shall rise to the
emergency, cast resolutely behind il
the issues that are disrupting the party
everywhere else and turn to the people
and offer them candidate and a plat
form answerable to their local needs.
The time has come when Minnesota
can be redeemed from Republican rule.
The evidences of it are as clear within
the Republican party itself as without
It, The convention that is to be held
today will blaze the way 1t will reg
lister the foreordained DEGREES of three
or four men who hold the Republican
party of this state in the hollow of
their hand; and, as convention, will
be no more than a bowling farce
Again there comes to the Democracy an
opportunity. We can only hope that
that which this state supplies will not
be thrown away so lamentably as the
greater and clearer opportunity in the
nation at large now bids fair to be.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The property owners on Robert
street have set an example which those
of other parts of the city should not
be slow to follow. They have agreed
upon the eminently practical and SEN
sible proposition that they will ap-
prove the paving of that street with
asphalt If the overhead wires are first
put under ground and all the sewer
and water connections made with each
lot fronting on the paved portion. That
is to say, they are willing to pay for
the needed Improvement provided they
can be insured against future disturb
ance and the ruin of their costly work
They have already had some expert
ence in this particular. The pavement
laid on Robert street was by far the
best of the old wood pavements, and
the only one of those first put down
dalton. 1t would probably be in al
most as good condition to-day as when
new If it had never been disturbed.
But Robert street property has been
revolutionized since then, and as
building after building went up or was
remodeled to suit an incoming tenant
the blocks were torn away, the solid
arch of the sub-structure broken
through and excavations made for con-
nections, and then the surface cover
ing replaced as well as it could be
done. This has resulted in the break
ing UP Of the pavement into hills and
hollows, until, although far from worn
out, it is scarcely more comfortable
for travel than the streets which are
furnished with the ancient cedar blocks
resting on planks. If, now, in these
times, the owners Of property consent
to the large outlay required, they are
not only justified in demanding insur-
ance against further depreciation of
their work, but they set proper exam
pie to the rest Of the city, where people
should everywhere insist upon the
enforcement of similar conditions be-
fore new pavements are put down.
They set good example in another
way. The course of the Robert street
people Is a powerful warning to those
who own property on other thorough
fares within the business area. They
were at first almost unanimously op-
posed to the Improvement. They are
hard pushed and rentals are not what
they used to be, and these holders of
real estate believe that the burden of
putting down a new pavement might
as well he deferred until more promis-
ing times. Their views We're changed
by vigorous representations from their
tenants. These bore the brunt of the
burden of an old and diIapidated pave
ment. They had seen In the effect
upon their business the quick increase
OF competition from streets where new
and improved pavements had been put
down. and felt that they must be
equally well supplied If they were to
hold their own. They pointed to the ex-
perisnce of Thiyd street. and declared
that every property holder who OBJ
jected TO reasonable ilaproy emerss was
inviting the same decline IN the value
Of hts holi:ng- 1t was tnis represen-
tation that altered speedily the views.

HIS JEwELRY IN A SAFE.
While Two Women Suffer for It's
Disappearance. 'tf

Mary Buckley and Jessie Rafferty, two
young women of the respective ages OF 10 and
% years, occupied cells at the central police
station last night, where they we're lodged on
the charge Of grand larceny. The warrant
upon which the women were arrested was
sworn out by Martin Forde, who had spent
the previous evening in their company. He
accused the women of stealing gold watch
valued at $50 and scarf pin valued at SIS.
Last evening Mr.. Forde recovered lbs prop
erty without the aid Of the police, however.
in a manner which not only establishes the
innocence Of the two women but also restores
his faith In mankind. 1t appears that friend
of his was in the party Of convivial spirits
who were enjoying the city by gaslight, and
upon deciding to break with the crowd, took
Forbes. yaIuables from his possession and
placed them in the safe of the hotel where
Forde was stopping. Forde did not see his
friend until after the women had been ar
rested and when he received his property
from the hotel clerk his establishment was
rather in the nature Of nervous shock
Meanwhile the innocent women remained In

come, the Pennsylvania delegation would not
