MAC TOOK THE HINT.
Congressman McCIeary Held Post
Office Convention.

Whether or not Joel Heatwole ever held
a postoffice convention, and the dark-mous-
tached scion of Mortified resents the soft
impeachment, it is evident that the idea had
certain elements of popularity, for Congress-
man McCleary, Of the Second district, who
passed through st. Paul yesterday on his
kato the night before his departure.
Leaders were present from all parts of the
district and patronage matters Were dis
cussed pro and con for several hours The
meeting harmonious one in every way,
Mr.. McCleary says, and everybody went away
from 1t in the best of spirits. 1t is more
IMAM likely that certain political trouble that
was promised McCleary some weeks ago on
account of this patronage matter will now be
avoided. At least things looking very
harmonious at this time
Nothing was done in the way Of deciding
who was to be postmaster at Mankato. The
vacancy does not come until next spring
and there being lots Of time McCleary will
dispose OF more pressing cases first. L. P.
Hunt, however has the inside track at at
Mankato. and with the majority of the good
Republicans of the city back of him, ought
10 get the place when the time comes His
eqltorlai opponent is postmaster now, and
there Is every reason why L. P. should be
permitted to step into his shoes. Once he
was postmaster. but after he had been in the
once for few months, along came a DEM
ocFat1c administration and threw him out.
H. w Pearson, of Duluth, member for
the past ten or eleven years of the Zenith
City school board, came to st. Paul yesterday.
on private business Mr.. Pearson has, by
virtue or his experience, means of knowing
the trlals In the life Of the school inspector
and feels for the members of the ST. Paul
board in their present dilemma eve have
mao much the same sort Of problem to deal
with. said he last night to reporter for
Ihe U o D e, only In our case the situation
is worse. for In addition to the need of re-
uenchment. our school district is longer and
narrower in proportion than lead pencil,
and thanks to the legislature the entire ter
TItory must be administered by one board
we are cutting off all the branches we can
get along without. We are grading the teach
erS salaries and effecting a saving of money
Wherever possible. We have not touched our
manuel training school, and it is about that
rs suppose St Paul people may be interested.
Ihis school has been going for five years
and has long since passed the experimental
stage. The education our high schools give
our children is frst-rate, and in the way of
dispensible.
The people of Duluth are we'll pleased
with the tangible results which have been
accomplished, and there will be no interfer-
ence with the manual training school,
