HE COMES HIGH.

The city Of st. Paul has already
paid out great many thousand dol
lars for the privilege Of having Mr..
McCardy in the comptrollers office.
Just how much it has cost the people
to indulge the taste of this gentleman
for running his department to please
himself, and without reference to the
requirements of the law, we cannot at
present state. The items will be foot
ed up before this campaign is over,
and it will then be seen that the city
treasury has paid an amount fully
equal to Mr.. McCardy's salary to
make up for the bad breaks that he
has made as public official.
The latest of these comes oppor-
tunely to crown the pride of the Re-
publican nominee for comptroller, In
the decision rendered by Judge Kelly
on Monday, it is announced that the
city Of st. Paul will be subjected. at
the lowest estimate, to an expense Of
81, 500 in statutory costs alone for the
conduct Of the suits brought by the
police force to recover the salaries
unjustly and arbitrarily withheld from
them by Mr.. McCardy for the delecta-
tion Of his greatness and the magnify
ing of his own glory. There was no
possible reason or excuse for this act,
Mr.. McCardy prides himself upon be-
ing stickler for the letter Of the law.
Here is an instance in which the law
is so plain that what we may call the
Illegal mind of Mr.. McCardy ought to
be able to grasp it. AS the Judge
points out, the supreme court Of the
state has held that the fixing of sal
aries belongs to the council, and the
council in 1892 explicitly assigned to
the police department a schedule Of
salaries which were ito be continued
until such time as they may be in
creased or diminished by legal author
ity.'
There has been no change made by
the council in the scale of payment
It has approved, and the comptroller
has audited pay rolls at that amount
regularly until the beginning of the
present year. 1t was advised and rec
commended, in the interest of retrench-
ment, at that time, that the police
salaries in general should be reduced.
but no action was taken by the council
to that effect. This plainly left the
salaries at the figure originally fixed
until some change should be made by
competent authority. In the mean
time, the policemen were performing
their duties and their pay was with
held by Mr.. McCardy without the
slightest excuse of justice or of law.
He acted on what the court calls "the
merest technicality;' and the judge is
as severe as the rules of his official DO
sition will permit him in scoring the
recreant official, who, at the same
time, deprived worthy public servants
of their just dues, and entailed upon
the people Of this city an expenditure
that VIII amount in the end to several
thousand dollars. How long do the
people of st. Paul intend to stand this
kind of thing, and when will they
think that they have paid all that Mr..
McCardy is worth for the privilege of
seeing his sublime highness seated in
the city hall?

ST. PAUL PREsBYTERY.
Arlington Hills Church Tires of a
Bargain.

The st. Paul Presbytery met yesterday at
East Presbyterian church. The morning ses-
sion opened at 1890. Rev. G.. w. Davis, of
Macalester. the retiring moderator making
the opening address. The roll call followed.

pointed moderator, and Rev. W. r. Farmer,
of the First Presbyterian church, st. Paul,
temporary clerk.
The afternoon session Of the presbytery
opened with prayer by Rev. Hearst The
most interesting portion of the afternoon s
session related to the discussion of the pro-
posed amalgamation Of the Arlington Hills
Presbyterian and Pacific congregational
churches. which was opened by Rev. Paul
Egbert. as chairman of the home mission
committee. asking for information upon the
subject. Rev. E. v. Lewis the pastor of the
Arlington Hills church, replied. giving a con-
else statement of the matter. AS it now
rests the Congregational church is awaiting
reply to a request sent to the Congrega-
tional Building association at Boston asking
for a loan Of 81, 800 for the purpose of moving
tho church. and the Arlington Hills church
is ready to back completely out Of it's bar
gain, and wants the presbytery to come to
its rescue.
Elder Flemming. Of the Arlington Hills
church, made most humorous and earnest
address in regard to the matter, telling of
the large size Of the Sunday school, and de-
riding the proposed locations selected for the
church and those who had suggested them
The Northern Pacific round-house will be a
near neighbor to the church If 1t is moved
by the Congregationalists, and this alone
makes such thing undesirable.
A resolution to offer the Arlington Hills
church what aid it required was passed. Re-
ports from the following committees were
approved: Finance, education, temperance and
Sabbath observance, home mission, Freed
man, church erection, historical society,
leave of absence, and Womans' Home and
Foreign Missionary society, the latter of
which was accepted with rising vote of
thanks from the presbytery to the women.

HUEBNER,s HARD JOB.
County Board Considers the Rice
Street Improvement.

The board of cousty commissioners held a
special meeting yesterday, at which it con-
sidered the Rice street road Improvement
question. County Attorney Butler, City Engi-
neer Rundlett, County Surveyor Johnson and
Contractor Huebner were present. The prin-
ctpal question was the resumption Of work on
the fill across the swamp without violating
the order of the court restraining the contract
ors from doing anything to endanger the water
main that runs across the swamp on piles.
The contract was to have been completed by
Jan. 1, but the injunction of the court hav-
ing stopped the work, an extension of time
will have to be granted.
County Attorney Butler suggested that the
contractors bond should be renewed. and a.
new time set for the completion of the work.
The contractors had been paid their estimates
as the work progressed, and they might aban-
don it If they found it to their advantage, thus
leaving the county an unfinished job and pros
poets for lawsuit.
1t was finally decided to discuss the subject
with the water board, and endeayor to reach
an understanding as to how to proceed with
the work without endangering the water main.
The matter was referred to Commissioners AL
len, Moritz and Ness to report at another
meeting, to be held April 20.

CUTS ED ROGERS, FEES.
An Arrangement in the PoIicemen,s
Salary Suits.

Corporation Attorney Darragh has effected
an arrangement in the matter of the suits
Of the $50 policemen for their salaries, where
by judgments will not be entered except in
the one case tried before Judge Kelly. This
will save the city nearly $500, as the clerks
fees in case Of entry Of judgment would be
$425 for each case, whereas the fees thus far
incurred will amount to only 81 in each case.
Consequently the clerk of courts will be the
only loser by this arrangement, and there is
a popular impression that he can stand the
loss.
If judgment were entered in every case the
total cost to the city would be $2,14O.50, made
up as follows Statutory costs per case, $40;
clerks fees, s4.25, aggregating $14.25 per case,
which same multiplied by 150, the total num-
Der Of cases, would give S213750. Adding SO
for the jury called in the single case tried,
gives a total cost of $2.14O50. Under the ar
rangement effected the expenses of each case
will be only S11, which makes a total of only
81 $50, plus the item of So for the jury fee.
Thus the total expenses of the city viii
amount to 81 ,653, instead Of $2,14O.5O.

"SpeCial Delivery"

The comedy-drama Especial Delivery
was given, Friday evening, at the Opera
House before small but very appreca
tive audience.
The play in many ways deserves special
praise. The scenery was good and well
staged, and the highly dramatic situations
were done with much force and genuine
merit
The scenes in the postofiice and on the
bridge, were natural, and free from ex-
aggeration.
There was uniform excellence about
the company which made the show one
we'll worth seeing and those who attended
were treated to flrst-class performance.
The musical specialties We're good, and
were received with warm appreciation.
