does not fit the case at all. For one
thing, a ten-minute service to and
from the union depot of single car
is a bowling absurdity. 1t would be
no service at all. There are twenty
times during the day when the pas
sengers from an incoming train would
fill that car to suffocation in about
two minutes, leaving some hundreds
to straggle off on foot, as now, to hunt
up their different lines 1t is astonish-
ing that anybody should have even
made so absurd a suggestion as a ten
minute depot service. The Grand ave-
nue. line does not connect with the
Seventh street, or with other lines, in
such way as to make it convenient
for passengers to transfer Nothing
but a belt line will answer the require
ment, and the shorter this is made,
and the more frequent the service, the
better for the company, the public COM
fort and the prosperity of our city.
A very short line, tapping all the parts
of the street railway system, and fur
nished with two cars. which could
make the trips to and from the union
depot every three to five minutes, would
meet the case, and would probably put
an end to the agitation for new loop

NOT SATISFACTORILY

1t seems singular to US that those
who are interested in retaining the
street railway loop III it's present place,
together with the street railway people.
who are certainly not in favor Of a
change, should not have succeeded be-
mand for an extension of the loop by
offering an alternative proposition that
would be reasonably satisfactory. The
only substitute proposed thus far is to
run the Grand avenue. cars down to the
levee in front of the depot, and to give
transfers from other lines. This does
not meet the demand" except in a most
limited and unsatisfactory way. Our
people, as a whole, certainly do not
care to have the loop extended, but
they do care very much to have ade-
quate street railway connection with
the union depot. The Clio b e has pre-
scented, recently, its opinions, and those
of outsiders on this subject. All who
have had occasion to visit ST. Paul are
loud in their complaint of the distance
to be Travelled before the main lines
of the street railway system are
reached, and most unf1attering in the
comparison they draw between ST Paul
and other cities in this respect.
It is clear enough to US that if the
street railway could be carried prac-
tieally down to the union depot, the
main force behind the movement to ex-
tend the loop would be destroyed and
interest in that issue would be dropped.
Now, the extension of the Grand av-
enue line sinnlv Is not enough. It

CASE OF DREYFUS
Caused Ripple I'm the French
Chamber of Deputies.

PARIS, Nov. 1S.-In the chamber of
deputies today Nj. Casteline, one of the
representatives of Laon, called atten-
ticn to the alleged campaign in favop
of Capt. Dreyfus, the French artillery
officer who was sentenced to imprison-
ment for life on the charge of divulging
important military secrets to the repre-
sentatives of foreign powers. In so do
ing M. Casteline also referred to the
rumors which have been circulated of
the escape Of Dreyfus from the French
penal settlement off the coast of Gui-
ana and demanded the prosecution of
those who. according to newspaper
statements, tried to intimidata or bride
the members of the court martial
which tried the prisoner The premier,
M. Meline, replying, said there was no
reason to repeat the matter, adding,
however, that If the government dis
covered that Dreyfus had accom-
plices it would do it's duty in the mat
ter.
Thereupon M. Gasoline presented a
motion calling upon the government to
take action in the case and M. Thillot
demanded the simple order of the day.
Much excitement followed. Finally
the government adopted modification
Of M Casteline's motion, expressing
confidence that the government would
seek to punish the intriguers. This
was adopted unanimously.

TWIN CITY MEN
Prominent in the Proceedings of
the Hardware Convention


PHILADELPHIA Nov. 18.-The third an
nual convention of the National Hardware
association began today. The organization
has membership which comprises over 200
OF the largest jobbing hardware firms in the
United States. The aggregate trade repre-
scented in the association is fully $3.50, 600 900
a year. Nearly 2G0 members from all parts
OF the country were present when President
to order. 1870 -
The executive committee report was in the
nature OF protest against trusts and cor
porations. While the report was not made
public, it contained firm declaration against
trusts as being detrimental to the consumer
as well as the retailer The convention
adopted the report and refused in any man
ner to support any action of the trusts.
At the afternoon session, Horace M. Hill,
of Minneapolis, read a paper on Ideal Com

T. Mcintosh, of Cleveland, and he was fol-

GIVE THE PEOPLE A CHANCE,


The information given out by the
city comptroller relating to the de-
mand for st. Paul bonds suggests the
propriety of offering a popular loan
here as has been done in other cities.
Mr.. McCardy announces that $3.50, 900
of bonds now drawing per cent inter
est will fall due in a few months. He
has had offers already aggregating
$5oo,oOo for per cent bonds to replace
these when they fall due Unless he
has authority to refund, these securi-
ties must, of course, be paid by taxa
ton, and a tax estimate is being made
up with that in view. We do not think
that the people of st. Paul ought to be
called upon to pay the principal Of any
outstanding bonded indebtedness at the
present time. We have just completed
the payment of floating debt during
time of such financial stringency and
pressure as to make it a heavy burden
upon our people, We have just sue
ceeded in reducing the tax levy and
will begin to feel the benefit of it next
year. Give the property holders q
breathing space. Do not place upon
them the obligation to cancel $3.50, 900 Of
debt at this moment, or until they have
had space for regeneration.
This is all the wiser policy because
there is so great a demand for local Sc
Nv
CURRY made not long ago revealed the
fact that the tax certificates of indebt-
edness, which are issued in anticipation
of the yearly revenue, cannot be had
for love or money. Although these GER
tificates bear 5 per cent interest, they
are disposed of only at a premium
which reduces the net return to about
4 per cent. Now, no holder of these
certificates will part with one on any
reasonable terms. 1t is perfectly Ger
tain that if $15OO0O of bonds bearing 4
per cent interest were offered at pop
ular subscription, allowing the pur-
chase of single bonds of small denomi-
nations, and prohibiting their sale In
large blocks, they would all be taken
by our own people within forty-eight
hours. 1t is not at all certain that a
31a per cent bond could not be disposed
of in this way, and it might be worth
the trial
New York city recently sold over
$16.00OO,00O Of 3h per cent gold
bonds, and the credit of
st. Paul is not second to that
of any other city in the country 1t is
time now to have in mind the securing
of proper authority to refund the bond
ed debt of ST. Paul as fast as it falls
due by low rate bonds offered at pop
ular subscription. The small INSTALL
ment that mature next year will give
an excellent opportunity to put the
plan on trial, and we hope, both in the
interest of the taxpayer and for the
strengthening of the public credit, that
it will not be neglected
