AN IMPROVEMENT NOTED.

Public opinion is the great regulator
after all. We have noted the fact
that it has made some impression upon
a body as stolid as our city admins

city council is not wholly imperviou5
to it in its later dealings with the
street railway company. The ordi-
nance which it is now considering is
an improvement upon that which
amounted to a deed of gift of the
streets of st. Paul One by one, in

street railway company have been

the only condition that ought to b

of giving it until 1900.
So far public opinion has wrought
upon the council beneicently. 1t still
stops short, however, of one condition
that ought to be in any such ordi-
nance. This is a provision that the
company, at its expense, shall reduce
the grade on Selby avenue hill by
cut Or tunnel until it shall be safe for
the operation of electric cars. This
is only reasonable and right, and, f
the people insist upon it, the company

Inc newspapers from one end of the
country to the other have exerted all
their influence to dissuade the people
from essaying the Alaska trip this fall.
Every detail of the terrible trip over
these passes has been published again
and again. Papers have been filled
with illustrations depicting these lone
ly and inaccessible regions, and with
descriptive matter detailing the hard
ships and perils of the route. If there
is one fact of which no one who has
so much as heard of the Klondike and
its wealth can be ignorant, it is that
he who attempts to enter that country
during the present season does so at

Notwithstanding the advertisement
of these memorable conditions, passen-.
gers have been found sufficient to
crowd every boat leading for the
north, and others are still departing,
although there is not one chance in a
million of any one getting through.
Thousands of men are now encamped
along the routes leading to the Yukon,
held prisoners by the fearful hardships
of the journey, the absence of roads,
the cutting up of trails into morasseS
waist deep and impossible and the
swift coming upon them of the winter

sible that even a small fraction of
these adventures will succeed in going
either forward or backward, and yet
their number will be almost doubled be-

ENTICING GENIUS.

Budding genius has a new oppoftu-
nifty to bloom. A new literary kinder
garten is in the field with encourage
ment for aspiring scribblers. The Cen
tury magazine, in the current number,
formally announces a series of prizes
to be awarded for poems, essays and
short stories written by graduates of
American colleges who have taken the
degree Of Bachelor of Arts. It is frank
ly stated in the announcement that

ers of today, where they have taken

airy production ON the part of college
Students 1t is admitted that prize
offers have not often resulted in the
development of literary ability of
high order, but it is believed that pos
sible evils are more than over balanced
by probable good.

been made by the publishers of the

On the whole, it would seem that

of those engaged in burdening the
presses can be added to only by an
amount hardly to be noticed. If no

evolved, no harm will be done. If

cellent thing, and if the coming essay

he will rise fully to the occasion.

GOVERNMENT BY MILITIA.

The Hazleton affair illustrates a
phase of government which we have
reached that is serious enough to give
US pause to consider whittier we are
drifting. If it be true that the sheriff
was not attempting the enforcement
claimed-and his statement that he
'read the riot act" to the advancing
body of miners seems to bear it out
then his order to fire upon the miners
was, by all the testimony, no indica-
tons Of a riot either in action or i'm
pending. His own statement is that
the men were peacable. unarmed and
were they unarmed, but the few canes
which some Of them carried when
their journey began were thrown away
by order of the leaders SO that there
they were intending violence The
claim of the sheriff that he was knock
ed down and beaten was disproved by
his appearance, that indicated no rough
treatment having been received.
Under these circumstances the sher-
iff had no authority to order the min
ers to stop marching and disperse,
There was no occasion to read the
thought of any. The order to fire was
an order to murder. just as clearly as
would be the order of a sergeant OF
police to his squad to open fire on peo-
pie passing UP Seventh street of a
Saturday evening. When murder is
committed warrants are issued for the
arrest of the murderers, and, when
found they are promptly arrested and
jailed ard held for trial. Warrants
were sworn out in this case for the
sheriff and his deputies and placed in
the hands of officers for service Here
developed this latest phase of anar-
chism to which we have arrived, for
anarchiSm is rule without government
or law. Promptly on receiving news
of the affair the governor of Pennsyl-
yania ordered the militia out and put
one Goblin in command. This. belaced
and epauletted individual was inter
viewed as to his purposes. He an
nounced that he was there to sustain
the civil authorities in maintaining
peace. AS no one had broken the peace
except these civil authorities, and no
other ones purposed doing so, 1t would
seem as il the proper thing for Goblin
to have done was to order his troops
home again.
But instead of doing this he an
nounced that he would prevent the
law from being enforced by the serv-
ice Of the warrants OF arrest upon the
sheriff. Military officers can Interfere

and where martial law is declared TO

vided for in it's charter. The very last
thing that the company would do
would be to fight. It knows better. It

that, in all probability, it's original

brought before the courts. 1t knows
that the proof that it has not fur

the impairment of it's credit, to change
the cable into an electric line at it's
own expense, without condition or IA
vors, when once it understands that
these cannot be had.
The G l o b is immensely gratified
that the struggle for the rights of the
people as against the demands of the
street railway company, in which it
has stood absolutely alone amongst
the newspapers of st. Paul, has been
so successful. There still remains the
ordering of a loop to the union depot,
which we are assured will be done, and
the question of operating on the Sell
by avenue grade, of which the coun-
Gil fights shy. If it will but insist upon
the cutting down of the hill by the
company, as a condition of putting
on electric cars, and frame an ordi-
nance accordingly, this will meet with
our hearty approval and with that OF
nlne-tenths OF our people.

The tax which the people of st. Paul

that finally passed resolution au-
thoriZing the payment to Jerry Sulli-
van Of SIP due him as salary for the
period between his removal from the
police force by Mayor Doran and the
approval of that action by the coun-
Gil. This is only one of a series Of ac-
tions to be commenced against the city
by discharged policemen. Nobody
knows how many similar cases there
city will be. That there is no defense
was shown by the statement of the
corporation attorney. When applied to,
he gave as his best Judgment that I'M

The people of ST. Paul, then, are to

How does this happen? Simply be-
cause Mayor DOTan was in such an
outrageous hurry to keep his political
engagements and to rush his own heel
ers into places OH the police force that
he could not wait to do it in a legal
and orderly manner The old men
were ordered to quit and the new to
take their places before there was
time for the council to ratify the action
of the executive. The new appointees
drew their pay with regularity and
alacrity, although they were not le-
gally entitled to it, The men who had
not yet been properly removed from
the force were also entitled to their
salaries until such time as the mayors
action should be confirmed; and it is
for these arrearages that suits are now
being brought. The commonest bust
ness judgment, the most ordinary pre-
caution against permitting the city to
be caught financially, the beginning of
a decent regard for propriety in Off
cial action would have prevented all
this. None of these qualities exist in
the present administration, and as a
consequence st. Paul will have to foot
another bill on it's account. When all
that it has cost this community in rep
utation and in cash to saddle itself with
the existing medley of ignorance, in
competence and brutality that passes
for a municipal administration is foot
ed up. it will be found that st. Paul
has paid roundly for its unhappy ex-
perience.

NOT ENTITLED TO SYMPATHY.

We shall probably hear, before the
able stories of suffering among the
rugged mountain passes leading into
the Klondike region, and subscriptions
will be called for to organize relief ex-
petitions to save those unhappy
wretches from perishing from hunger
and cold. This seems to be one of the
cases where there is no reasonable
drain upon public sympathy. 1t is
stretching point to organize, at great
cost. a relief expedition to go up into
the Arctic region and bring back some
foolhardy individuals who have made
risk of their, lives in the endeavor to
reach the north pole and acquire noto-
riety by the achievement. But the mo-
tive of these people is at least not a
gross one. They are not after money,
but after fame such as it is, and their
pitiful case always finds a response to
the appeal that it makes to human
kindness.
Not so should it be in the case of
these adventures on the Skaguay
and Chilkoot passes. They are not en-
titled to any larger share of sympathy
than the man who jumps off Brooklyn
bridge for a wager, or the deliberate
suicide. There has been no misrepre-

ABANDONED TO HER FATE,

The announcement comes definitely
from Washington that the administra-
ton has decided that nothing will be
done to aid Cuba or to support her
CLAIMS against Spain. From the in
tensely partisan correspondent of an
intensely partisan Republican news
paper We have the statement that
since the first week of this admins
tration the public have been periodi-
cally assured that within a few days
President Mckinley would take such
action on the Cuban question as would
entirely satisfy the American people"
and that there is nothing in it. Mr.
Mckinley and his cabinet, he tells us,
have gone over the situation again
and again and have decided that they
can do nothing. could he follow the
a friend and adrnirer, ''he would I'M
doubtedly take some radical action to
put a stop to the war as it is now
being conducted;" but he is not going
81 think Mr.. Mckinley may be safely
relied upon to conserve the best inter-
est of the country in the true spirit of
American institutions, and not involve
us in unjustifable complications with
foreign powers, which might cost us
useless millions in treasure and bust
ness, as well as the blood of our best
manhood"
Oh, what falling off is there, my
countrymen! When Mr.. Cleveland was
in office and thought that American
non-interference in Cuba he was re-
viled and blackguarded from one end
of the country to the other by the same
men who now hold that the same pol
icy, when pursued by Mr.. Mckinley, is
conservative and statesmanlike and
wise and patriotic. Volumes would not
contain the abuse that they lavished
or the preceding administration for it's
Cuban policy. The policy of it's sue
cesssor is even less defensible, because,
in the intervening time, Cuba has fur
Their INDICATED her right to be free,
and Spain has multiplied her oturages
and atrocities Yet Mr.. Mckinley will
not lift a finger to prevent.
Again, looking at the matter from
another point of view, we do not find
that the treasure Of American citizens
or the blood of American manhood has
any particular pull on Mr. Mckinley
when it is a question of grabbing Ha-
wall. He is ready to advise us to fight
England or Japan or any other nation
on earth that would interfere with a
project a thousandfold more antago-
nistic to American interests and to
American citizenship than declara-
ton that the Cuban people ought to
and must be free. The foreign policy
thus far followed by this administra-
ton deserves no encomium on its own
merits. When it is compared with the
protestations made d year ago, it de-
serves to rank with the Dingley bill
as "a policy of infamy."

vice versa, and all in order that, by
constant and thorough mixing, there
may be a gradual improvement going
on patiently through the centuries I'M
til perfection is attained and the mil
lennium is upon us. 1t is quite natural
that men should be impatient of the
slow process of nature and should at
tempt to accelerate her pace; but she
refuses to be hurried and calmly pur-
sues her course, knowing her business
and it's methods better than the wisest
of us, and utterly indifferent to the
individual, but tenacious Of the de-
velopment of the type. We entertain
nc doubt that the old process of mat
ing by natural selection will continue
and never be displaced by the method
of selection by science.
