SHOWING THEIR HAND.

The latest conference between the
representatives of the street railway
company and the representatives of
the city makes a more complete dis
closure, if any were needed, OF the
Interesting little play that has bean
going on between the two parties for
the last year Or so, and that promises
to hold the boards, at least during the
life of the present council. The at
titude of the company is the nea test
exhibition of now you see it and now
you don't" ever put up. No sooner
do the council and the public ap-
pear to agree upon any proposition af-
fecting the operation Of the street rail-
way company's lines, from Merriam
Park to Arlington Hills, than there is
a suave counter proposition a little
different in it's terms When a council
committee gets around to that then
there is still another variation, and so
the show goes on. The latest move Is
an offer by the company to operate
the Broadway loop and also a loop to
the union depot, provided permission
is given to run the Fourth street cable
as an electric line up Third street hill
and through Summit park.
This shows the company's hand COM
pletely. Its representatives know that
those terms are just as impossible as
If they suggested running the line
through the middle Of the new post
office and having its terminus on the
roof Of the Aberdeen. There is no
power existing anywhere to turn a
public park over to street railway uses.
There is no disposition to do it, If
even any such useless and brainless
body as the present city council could

A SAFE BET.

That amusing bit of paper and ink
which calls itself the Minneapolis
Times, having turned the Northern Pa
cif1c railroad over to a new control and
elected a set Of officers and directors
to suit itself, is now engaged busily in
turning it back again. To this per
Torrance of invention for the sake of
denial, and growing like chanticleer
over both as rare journalistic enter
prise, we have already called atten-
not unknown, but very much unhonored
in the profession. The latest instance
Of it, however, either conscir- sly Or
unconsciously, gets near II. border
the Times writer offers to bet somebody
that what he says is not so.
Describing the next revolution that
the typesetting machines are about to
make in the management of the North
ern Pacific he confesses, first, that Mr.
J. Pierpont Morgan has not taken him
into his confidence" This is a sad and
unexpected blow. The people of the
Northwest have been living only in the
fond belief that the Times was a sort
of safety deposit box, in which the
confidence of Mr.. Morgan was locked
up every night, to be opened only as
the editor applied the key. Still some
thing has leaked out, because the Times
says: 81 wager 81 to $40 that Mr. New
Pacific" Now, inasmuch as the only
announcement that Mr.. Newman would
go into the Northern Pacific was faith
cred by the Times, and as the state
ment never appeared in any other
newspaper, as far as we are aware, the
eagerness of the Times to back it's own
inaccuracy with odds, while financially
safe, is proceeding a little I'M
usual among newspapers. We said
with Odds" assuming that possibly
the writer who offers to wager one dol
lar to ten meant that he would wager
ten to one, since the former proposition
strong conviction.
We really think that the circum-
stances warrant turning the PROPOSE
ton around; for not only where the
Times originates a fake for the salts
flying sensation of denying it, but in
its relation to the ordinary business Of
news gathering, the true odds for a
safe bet are about ten to one that If
you see thing in that paper it is not
so. Not every editor, however, would
be SO willing to back up publicly his
sublime confidence in his own error. or
to advertise, with every appearance of
delight, the system Of 'monkeying"
with the news which the Times calls
journalism.

be brought to consent to 1t, the public
would rise in opposition, and the courts
would be appealed to to throw the
scheme out by the breeches. Nobody
knows this better than the company
itself. 1t is simply shifting ground to
gain time and to postpone even the
slightest improvement in our present
street railway facilities until 1t shall
have made terms suitable for itself
on the only work that 1t wants or
means to do, which is the change of
the cable into an electric line by such
means as will be least expensive to
itself.
The problem Of the Selby hill incline
has been solved in the only way that
will ever be satisfactory or safe. 1t
has been shown conclusively that to
make a cutting through the incline.
Offering a suitable grade for an cleo
trio line up the hill is the one method
that will stand the test. It has been
shown that this can be done at what
is really a very moderate cost. The ex-
pense of the work should fall upon the
street railway company and nowhere
else. To it have been granted enormous
privileges. It has the right, and the
exclusive right, to take possession of
almost any street surface in the city
Of st. Paul and use it for it's own
purposes. Out of this franchise mil
lions have been realized that did not
go into either construction or equip
ment. The least that can be done in
return is to give to the public
lines that shall be operated with safety
and convenience to their patrons. The
struggle for a year has been over one
single point, namely, the evasion of the
expenditure required to make the Sell
by avenue line what it ought to be.
And the rest Of it, the Broadway loop,
the depot loop, and the thousand and
one suggestions that have been group
ed about the central proposition, were
intended merely to throw dust in the
peoples eyes and to strike a bargain.
The situation IS 81 simple that
CI.1ld ought to understand it. The first
duty of the council is to make the
company understand that under no
circumstances will permission be
granted to do anything except to cut
down the Selby avenue hill at the COM
pany's expense. After that nail is
driven in and clinched perhaps we may
accomplish something in the line of
loop to the union depot, and of some
Of the other improvements that are
so much needed in the system Of street
railway transportation in st. Paul.

LONDON, June 29.-The next issue
Of the National Review will contain an
announcement reporting an important
bfmetalfc development at the hands
OF the United States monetary com
mission, consisting of Senator WoIcott
former Vice President Stevenson and
Gen. Payne which will arrive here in
Few days. The commission, according
10 the National Review, will present
TO the British government a joint state
ment from France and the United
States, declaring their intention ia
terminate the disastrous experiments
fnaugurated in 1873, and claiming QUIZ
good will and active concurrence.
The National Review adds: eve ara
able to announce that the governments
reply will be that England will be able
to reopen the Indian minis and giya
help to silver by extending it's use In
England, and by increasing the legal
tender of silver, making silver the ba-
sis of notes, empowering the Bank OF
England to use its silver reserve and
that material assistance and strona
moral support will be given to the OBJ
ject the United States and France have
in view"
PARIS, June 29.-The minister fol-
foreign affairs, NJ. Hanotaux, gave q

secretary of the United States embassy,
Henry Vignaud, and the minister of

vice president of the Bmetallic league

son attended the sitting of the French
senate this afternoon. A high official
received him at the entrance of the
house and conducted him to a seat in
the box of the president.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-The cable
gram from London today giving the
substance of an article to appear in
the National Review to the effect that
the United States monetary commits
sion, Of which Senator Wolcott, Of
Colorado, is the head, had met with
gratifying success in France and stat
ing positively that England will re-
open its Indian minis and otherwise
contribute to an extended use of silver,
was read with interest by government
officials. They had known that the
commission was very cordially received
in France and that the commissioners
were greatly encouraged by the strong
and apparently increasing silver senti-
ment in that country, as the president
not long since received a letter from
Senator Wolcott to this effect. The
statement that England is ready to
join in the movement to the extent of
reOpening her Indian minis Is received
with many doubts. A copy of the
cablegram was shown to the presi-
dent and to Secretary Gage, but neither
of them cared to express any opinion
on it beyond the statement that they
feared the review article was over
drawn.
