THE PIONEER PRESS ON JOHN
CLARK.

The Pioneer Press, having nothing
to say in defense of its pets, because
they have pleaded guilty in open court,
falls back on it's unfailing resource,
which is to abuse somebody else. Be
cause the shameful partnership be-
tween the present police force and the
criminal element has been confessed
it attacks with scurrilous abuse the po-
lice system and the efficient chief I'M
der whom for so many years the per-
sons and property of the people Of st.
Paul were secure Here are some of
it's choice reflections on John Clark and
his police force, taken from an editorial
of Monday morning last:
The old Democratic gang had it's head CEN
ter in this partnership between police Of
fcials and a clique Of gamblers. with it's
alliances in the saloons and houses of pros
titution. Its leaders grew rich on the plumber
eXtorted from the two latter classes in re-
turn for an unlimited license of wide open
ness.
That was the sort of city government that
was given to US by the Democratic party and
for the restoration of which we have been
recently told the people Of St: Paul Ia are pin
1892 an end was promptly put to this reign
of quadruple alliance of the police, the
gamblers, the disreputable saloon element and
the houses of prostitution.
But there is strong reason to believe that
from the beginning to the end of his term
the old alliance between the police. and
the criminal classes was used to promote all
forms of predatory crime, with view to dis
credit his administration and make it appear
that no police department could be success
fully run in this city except by Clark and
O'Connor.
Whether he (Doran) made a wise selection
of chief of police who had had no previous
experience in the business, and of chief
of detectives who had been trained in the
Clark Conner school. we are not able to
say.
John Clark has something to say for
himself in an interview published in
this mornings Globe; and he says
it, as he does other things, with terse
force and manliness. He needs no de-
fender in this city against aspersions

HOME FROM WASHINGTON.
Messrs. Markham and Phillips Back
From the CnpitaI.

Corporation Attorney Markham and
his first assistant, H. w. Phillips, re-
turned yesterday from Washington, D.
c. The legal lights appeared before
the United States supreme court in the
case of the st. Anthony Falls and Min
neapolis Mill company's suit against
the City of St Paul and Board of
Water Commissioners. The water
board of st. Paul used the water from
Baldwin's lake in Anoka county, as
part of the water system. The lake is
a tributary to the Mississippi river, and
in 1892 and 1893 the water III the river
being very low the two companies men
toned were obliged to shut off consld-
cradle of their power. Suit was
brought against the city of st. Paul
and the board of water commissioners
TO recover damages, the companies
claiming that had not the water of the
lake been used as part of the water
system of ST. Paul, there would have
been more water in the river. The su-
preme court of this state rendered a
decision against the plaintiffs and the
case was appealed to the United states
supreme court. The appeal was argued
last Wednesday and Thursday, the
court sitting three hours each day. A
decision is expected in about month.
Mr.. Markham is of the opinion that
the case will be dismissed on the
ground that the court has no jurisdic-
tion. The case is of considerable I'M
portance in that some of the points
raised will, in all probability, come up
later before the court in connection
with the Chicago drainage canal

as the example is a contagious one, we
hope that it will be so followed by
other cities, and that the clamor in
every large center of population for
fast early morning trains to carry out
the newspapers, under the pretense
that they are needed in the mail ser
vice, will become so imperative that 1t
will amount to a demand for the free
distribution of all newspapers in the
United States at the expense Of the
federal government. When it comes
to this point, the absurdity and the
wrong of it will be so apparent that
the whole system will be cleared away,
and neither the injustice of which
the Baltimore and Washington news
papers are now sensible nor the injus-
tice under which the newspapers of st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha and other
cities in the West have labored for so
many years, will be permitted to exist
for another moment.

PAVING OF BROADWAY
Chief Topic Before the Board OF
Public Works.

The board of public works had before
If Yesterday afternoon the estimate OF
the citv engineer as to the cost OF paw
ing Broadway from Seventh to Mis-
sissippi streets, and also the triangle
bounded by Broadway, Grove and Mis-
sissippi streets. The estimate showed
that the cost of paving with asDhait
would be s11, $40, or 1920 per front foot
to the property owner; brick, $8,7l0, or
81 10 per front foot; sandstone, sl0,62O,
or $3.50 per front foot. If the street
was paved with asphalt, the city rail-
way company would have to pay So,880;
with brick. $3.50; sandstone, $3.50.
The clerk was directed to prepare alb
stracts of the property, and, at later
date. the property owners will be called
in. ,
City Engineer Rundlett notified the
board that George n. Warren, who has
the contract for laying the wooden
sidewalks had, during the week end
ing Oct. Is, laid $500 feet of walk.
While this was more than had been
laid in any one week before, it would
not insure the laying of all the walk
ordered. The board took the matter
under Amusement.
The pay roll of the street commits
sioners and street and sewer force for
the two weeks ending Oct. Is was
passed after the name of Commissioner
Kiellberg had been erased from the
roll. The amount approved was S2,0o7-

upon his character. But in order to
show the insincerity and meanness of
the accusation, and lest the Pioneer
Press should find it too much trouble
to consult it's files, we will perform that
labor for it. In the spring Of 1890
municipal election was held. At that
time the persons whom the Pioneer
Press speaks of as the gang" were in
power The Pioneer Press was sup
porting them For reelection John
Clark was chief Of police. AS reason
for advocating the election of Robert
A. Smith as mayor, the Pioneer Press
described the admirable police admin
istration Of st. Paul, in the following
words. We quote from an editorial in
it's issue of May 4, 1890:
There is one feature eof the present city
government which even its present critics are
compelled to admire and that is the protec-
ton accorded to life and property, and the
comparative infrequency of the more seri-
Gus forms of crime!t 1t is probably true that
not another city inS the country can show
record equaling ours in this respect, when
all the circumstances are taken into con-
sideration.
Deadly assault and public robberies are al
most unknown, while it has been long since
a single case of successful burglary was heard
of. Life and property, always held "
slighter tenure in large cities, are almost
as secure In st. Paul as in the quiet OF some
country village.
There is no better policed city in the
United States than st. Paul. Every rascal
is spotted as soon as he enters the city, and
gets his orders to leave it, if dangerous
character, before he has been here half
day. The native criminal element is kept
well in check. and under such a close and
foraf 11o,, hot do
ture far. For this we are indebted to the
existing management of our police force. of
which, to whatever criticism it may be open,
it may at least be said that it does its 5uty,
and saves us from the evils that beset other
great cities. 1t would be calamity to have
this police supervision. made effective by
by familiarity with the situation, broken
down for worthier object than to make
places for new men.
1t will not strike the average voter as
worth while to exchange the remarkable Sc
curity which he now enjoys, the certainty
that his property will not be molested or his
that would inevitably follow the appointment
of a force of green policemen, offlcered by
inexperienced and therefore necessarily in
competent men.
We leave the two pictures drawn by
the Pioneer Press of police administra-
ton under the "gang" to the diversion
that occupied the Kilkenny cats. We
do not care even to dwell upon the
sort of political morality which believes
it allowable to bear false witness
against an Individual for the sake of
making a point against a party. We
are content to ask simply: Did the
Pioneer Press tell the truth about John
Clark and the police force under Dem
ocratic rule in the article of May 4,
1890, or in that Of Oct. Is, 1897? And,
in either case, what was it doing when
it published the other article, and why?
