INDOOR CIRCUS
Co. e Arranges for a Undue show
Next March,


Company E of the Minnesota nation
al guard is making preparations for
an entertainment to take place some
time in March, the like of which has
never before been seen in ST. Paul. The
proposed plan, which was adopted at
meeting Of the company last evening.
is for nothing less than an Indoor
circus The Armory will be turned
into a regular Barnum & Bailey af
fair, with all the essential accessories.
There will be cages of animals. a side
show, and a regulation sawdust ring.
in which will take place wonderful
feats of Craftsmanship, tumbling and
trapeze exhibitions. Last, but not
least, peanut and popcorn vendors will
dispense their wares among the au-
dience, and the concert ticket agent
will make his last round with adj
mission for the grand concert, which
will take place upon an elevated stage
in front of the reserved seats imme-
diately after the big show, which, how
ever is not half over
Another important matter to come
before the meeting was the question Of
holding a competitive drill of the Unit
ed States national guards in ST. Paul
during the G. A. r. encampment next
fail. The proposition was heartily re-
ceived, and it was unanimously decid-
ed to endeavor to add this attraction
to those already arranged for the en-
tertainment of G. A r. visitors and
their friends.

| ducing the school levy below two mills,
| or from raising 1t above 21a. Thus
council too friendly could not en-
large the school fund beyond the
greater, and one too hostile could not
decrease it below the lesser figure.
To the intelligent and candid mind
the charter is conclusive. Mr. McCar-
dy's explanation does violence to the
charter and to common understanding
He says that the law requires only the
provision of fund equivalent to what
would be raised by a two-mill tax. If
this is in sight, as he pretends it is,
then the council may correspondingly
diminish the levy. This Interpretation
carries us into the midst of a cloud of
absurdities. First, it contradicts the
plain terms Of the charter. Second, it
is a rule impossible of application.
Neither Mr.. McCardy nor any other
man can tell in advance what the total
school fund will be. In making it up
for the present year, a balance of SS2,-
there are about $780, 900 of December sal
aries and bills to be paid out of it.
Third, this rule would place the con-
troll of school supplies without reserve
in the hands of the council. BY levy
ing the two-nill tax one year, and leav-
ing it as a surplus in the treasury, it
might forever thereafter refuse to ap-
propriate one dollar for schools, claim
ing that the $246,0OO in the school fund,
though unavailable for school pur-
poses, answered all the requirements Of
the law. 1t Is much to be hoped that
the council will not admit construc-
ton Of the charter that cannot have
any foundation in law or common
sense, and impose upon the school board
the necessity Of resorting to legal meas
ures to secure compliance with one of
the plainest requirements Of the law.
OF all the positions taken by the comp
troller and set aside contemptuously
by the courts, after much vexatious de-
lay and controversy, none is less tena-
BILE than that by which he seeks to
override the requirements of the spe-
cial law of 1891, which fixes the mini
mum lawful levy for school purposes

DO GET TOGETHER.

There is still that remarkable diver
sity in the opinions, and in reasoning
on which their opinions are based,
among our Republican contemporaries
that we have SO frequently had to
note. There seems no more DISPOSE
ton to accept our counsel, disinter-
estedly rendered, to get together, than
ever. 1t is a sort of Donnybrook fair
with them, hitting heads wherever
they show themselves, regardless
whether they sit on the shoulders Of
friend or foe. An argument is hurtled
forth by one that utterly demolishes
that put forth by another, and the
serenity is SO dense that the perturb-
ance is not noticed by the combatants.
For illustration, there is that old
home market humbug, with not all
the sawdust punched out of it by the,
buffeting it has had, and which, now
that the Republicans have kindly
launched the tariff issue again, is be-
ing made to do service According to
this, the purpose of the policy, adj
vocated in varying degrees, from the
Mckinley restorationists to the Tom
Reed fifteen per centers, is to so build
up and increase and diversity our man
ufacturing industries that the men,
women and children in them, aided by
the unhelped, will eat up all that our
farmers produce, and there will be no
Of r,yioa o1
vance and every one will be rich and
happy, and, perhaps, virtuous. The
Minneapolis Tribune and other papers
subject to the disturbing influences of
the full moon, come out especially
strong on this part of their theory.
Now it follows as day follows night
that tariff ought to show it's home
market-building tendencies in a de-
crease in the exports of all kinds, and
especially of farm products. If under
any tariff they diminish, it follows
logically that the home market is con-
Stunning them. If they increase, it fol-
lows that the home market is behind
in the race and needs the spur. The
tariff, by whatsoever party designed,
that decreases, no, under which eX-
ports fall off, should, therefore, COM
mend itself to these theorists. But
here we have the Republicans up
braiding the tariff act of the last con-
gress because under it exports have
fallen off. Agricultural products, they
point out have been especially Sacri-
feed. But would not this be precisely
the result if the home market tariffs
work as designed? Would there not
be a steadily continuous falling off
until zero was reached? Why, then,
rail at tariff that appears to be doing
precisely what these rather captious
people pretend to want have done?
Why charge that as a fault which
should be a merit? Why boast of in
creasing exports under the Mckinley
act when the home market receded in
exactly the proportion that exports
increased"
OF course we take no stock in the
home market business. We know il
is a rank humbug, and we suspect that
these advocates of. it know it is. too.
But as long as they will keep up their
performance before the public they
should be told, if they cannot them
selves see, the needless manner in
which they are knocking over their
own men of straw.
