WAITING FOR THE BOSS.

The people of st. Paul ought to ap-
point a special day of prayer and
thanksgiving to. celebrate their escape
from the misfortunes and punishments
that might have fallen upon them had
not the committee on streets Of the
board of aldermen wisely determined
to await the return of Mr.. Thomas
Lowry from the East before acting on
passed the assembly. We shudder to
think Of what might have happened
had the representatives Of the people
actually taken the hazardous step of
consulting the wishes of the people
without reference to those of the street
railway in general and Mr.. Lowry in
particular. The outburSts Of wrath OF
the doughty young German emperor
when his will is thwarted would have
been nothing compared with the sur
prise and anger of Mr.. Lowry and Mr..
Mum had they learned that action had
been taken on the street railway ordt-
nance during his absence. 1t was to
the very brink CT this precipice that
the zeal of the assembly had brought
the people of st. Paul. They are thrust
back from it by the strong and saving
arms of Mr.. Shepard and Mr.. Sanborn
and other aldermen who have a bet
ter realization of the wrath to come.
Under the cool and polite counsel of
these gentlemen the board of alder
men decided to wait for orders. 1T as
certained the probable date of Mr.
Lowry's return and gladly determined
to risk no chances, but to wait and
accept its instructions from his own
lips. You cannot be too careful when
you are acting under the orders of
superior. The best intention of man
is liable to incur, in such cases, the
displeasure of his boss, and then there
is no telling what visitation of wrath
may fall upon his innocent head. Who
might have been cut off altogether, or
the city hall moved bodily over to the
headquarters of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company, in Minneapolis, if
our aldermen had not thus FASTENED
to place their votive offerings upon the
altar of an offended diety? We sug-
gest the propriety once more of q
special day of Thanksgiving, and that
a public collection be taken up to pre-
aldermen some substantial testimonial
as a recognition by the people of the
services that they have rendered In
forcing their ill-regulated associates
to await the coming of Lowry, I'm
perator.

Mr.. Lonegren was justified in declining
to attempt to give any correct valua-
ton" of the assets.
But, and this is the kernel in this
nut, although this report was made to
Bank Examiner Kenyon on Oct. Z,
1895, he did not file it with the governor
until Feb. 6, 1897, three weeks after the
savings bank had gone up. Then and
not before did he transmit the exami-
nation made by. Lonegren fourteen
months before to the governor. Dur
ing all this time, and during the time
when M. D. KS note for $1,000 was In
that bank, he suppressed the report Of
his assistant, which informed him that
the collaterals of the bank were so
doubtful that he could not give any
estimate of their value. Kenyon made
no further examination of its condi-
ton from that date until the failure.
During all these months he permitted
hard working men and women, clerks,
seamstresses, small dealers, to continue
putting their savings into this sink
hole while his assistants report
showed him that its condition demand
ed instant attention. This neglect
would have been culpable enough in
and of itself; what does it become
when the fact appears that NJ. d. K. was
apparently a debtor of William Bickel
senior one of the trustees of this bank,
to the extent Of $1,000, and a debtor of
this bank to the same extent by virtue
of its holding that note as collateral?
The circumstances seem to call for
more explicit explanation from Mr..
Kenyon than he gave the legislative
committee for not fling Lonegren's re-
o,.t

TO TAKE OFT THE STARCH.

1t is apparent that those who have
ice law in congress as mere ebulli-
ton of little knot of spoilsmen with
nobody behind them have underesti-
mated altogether the strength and
meaning of the movement 1t is true
that there is no immediate danger of
the outright repeal of the law. 1t is
equally true that there is probably a
majority in the present congress in
favor of emaseulating it. There is
still enough wholesome dread of public
opinion to keep most of the representa-
tives under cover While this fight is
going on. They do not dare come out
openly and say what Grosvenor and
his followers say. that they want to get
rid of the reform system altogether
and put the offices where theySwill do
the most good for their party. They
do want to compass the same end by
indirect means, and they will do this
unless the public is watchful and in
sistent.
Their desire is that expressed by
Gov. Black, of New York state, to
take some of the starch out of the
civil service law Black and Tom
Platt's legislature did that very eff
fectually in that commonwealth so
that today the reform system has been
as far wiped out in the Empire state
as its constitution will permit. Now
similar move is made upon the re-
form at Washington, although it is to
be managed more judiciously and
cloaked more effectually, because Mr.
Mckinley has placed himself squarely
on record as in favor of the reform sys-
tenn. We have, therefore, the propo-
sition advanced that the law is to be
modified" Dissatisfied members will
not seek It's total repeal, but they will
just make a few changes to remove
objections that Will make 1t bear a
little less hardly upon the hungry
horde whose rawlings at Washington
since the Inauguration have surpassed
anything ever seen in the history of
this country.
This reminds one irresistibly Of the

HOW rERRIBLE OF THEM.

A special dispatch from Washington
to the Globe expresses the sorrowful
Indignation of the friends of Hawaiian
annexation at the unpatriotic and sell
fish attitude of its opponents. They
are shocked at the fact that there
is a big money spending lobby here,
deliberately engaged in an effort to de-
feat the annexation treaty" They tell
us, moreover, who these dreadful cor
rupt men are. Prominent among them
are the Oxnards, of Nebraska. These
gentlemen, horns, hoofs, forked tails
and all, are actually said to have gone
to the national capital to work against
an arrangement that threatens an in
reference with the operations of the
beet sugar industry, in which they
have a large capital invested. Such
thing is actually unheard of in our
legislation, and even the apology that
they are acting under IAN impulse of
self-preservation" hardly covers their
iniquity.
The pure patriots who want to force
the Hawaiian people into an alliance re-
pugnant to them and incompatible with
all the traditions and interests Of the
American republic are appalled, at the
black improperly of this action. If
the OXnards and others in the same,
line of business were to go down to
Washington now, as they did a year
ago and as they go to the halls of
state legislatures, to demand protection
for their industries, to ask for heavy diff
ferentials on imported sugar and to pro-
pose modest bounties equal to the en-
tire cost of production for the domestic
product, that is an entirely proper pro-
eeeding. That, also, we suppose, is done
from an impulse Of representation"
but it is part of the American system,
consistent with all our ideas. and the,
eminent gentlemen who favor annexa-
ton would not have a word to say
against it, When precisely the same
sort of interest, appealing to the same
motive and working through the same
Observation-Disclosures, chances to protest
against the Hawaiian job, it becomes
big money-spending lobby" Then we
have no longer any right to consider
such lobbying as "a corrupt practice"
but we must view the matter from
the broad view of international law.
and as matter of party policy" When.
we watch the Republican party at its
antics we have to modify Mr.. Lincoln's
expression, and wonder how it can ex-
pect not to fool all of the people all
of the time, or all of the people some
of the time or some of the people all
of the time, but how it magines it can
impose on anybody or fool any of the
people any of the time

Vigorous Action by the Federation

OF LABOR.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 14.-At the
opening of today's session Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, several pro"
tests were made against credentials
Of the delegates, and, after some dis
cussion, 1t was decided that the dele
gates should be seated and the matter
referred to the grievance committee.
The federation this afternoon resumed
the consideration of reports of commit
tees. The Hawaiian annexation queS-
ton came up on a report from the
committee on resolutions and produced
some discussion, and the committee re-
ported on a resolution opposing the an
nexation of Hawaii, offered by T. j.
Elderkin, and presented the following
substitutes:
Whereas, There is at present pending in the
United States senate a treaty providing for
the annexation Of the Hawaiian islands, and,
Whereas That annexation would be tanta-
mount to the admission of q slave state, the
representatives of which would necessarily
work and vote for the enslavement of labor

Resolved. BY the American Federation OF
Labor that we diSapprove of annexation: and.
Resolved, That we urge the United States
senate to reject the treaty OF annexation, and
to take such other steps as may be neces-
sary to maintain amcable relations with Ha-
wall.
Andred Furuseth made a warm
speech opposing the annexation, and
George e. MCNEIL suggested that the
substitute be amended so as to pro-
vide for the incoming executive coun-
Gil laying the matter before congress,
and if necessary, before the president,
showing the opposition of the fedora
ton to annexation. The substitute as
amended was adopted. The resolutions
relative to an eight-hour day move
