The ST. John Telegraph has this to say
about the winter port bus mess:

Inc SJ. JOnn Telegraph ndS 1His W say
about the winter port bus mess:
Certain it is that hereafter no Canadian
port can stand in competition with St.
John for the winter trade of Canada, and
every year our position will become
stronger as against Portland and Boston,
which are now our principal foreign com
petitors. Heretofore we have been de-
pending on subsidies to keep our steam
ship lines running, but the time may
come when all subsidies or freight lines
will cease. and when we will have to
contend against Portland and the Grand
Trunk in open competition. Before
that time arrives, however, we believe
that our freight business will be SO well
established that we will be able not only
to meet the competition of Portland, but
TO meet 1t successfully. Portland repre-
sents "a slowly dying cause. st. John
is the representative of growing, vigor
and strength, and of q cause which
is bound to enlist the sylnpathies of all
Canada and to win in the end.
ga slowly dying cause" is very funny.
Evidently our st. John friends are blind.
Instead of ss'slowly dying" Portland as
the winter port of the Canadas is gaining
strength every year. This winter it's
strength bids fair to be vastly greater
than ever before. The natural adyant-
ages of Portland are altogether too great
for ST. John to overcome even with the
help of subsidies and the "sympathies of
all Canada -

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

In remembrance of Gods goodness to
us during the past year which has been
SO abundant, let us offer unto Him our
Thanksgiving and pay our VOWS unto the
Most High. Under His watchful provi-
dence industry has prospered, the con-
ditions of labor have been improved, the
rewards Of the husbandman have been in
creased and the comfors of our home null
tiplied. His mighty hand has preserved
peace and protected the nation. Respect
for law and order has been strengthened,
love of free institutions cherished and all
sections of our beloved country brought
into closer bonds OF fraternal regard and
generous cooperation.
For these great benefits, it is our duty
to praise the Lord in spirit of humility
and gratitude and to offer up to Him our
most earnest supplications. That we
may acknowledge our obligations as
people to Him, who has SO graoiously
granted US the blessings of free govern.

Senator Chandler is out with predic.
ton that unless further e1ortslaIe made
to establish binetalism in this country
the next, Congressional elections will lie
carried by the Organizes and the next
President will be BryanIor some other
free silver advocate. Well, if this be so,
there is no help for it, for no further
efforts in behalf of bimetalism that Will
amount to anything can be made until
England changes her views, which is
not likely to be until after 1900 but
Mr.. Chandler is altogether too gloomy
There has been notable abatement'of the
silver craze since the Presidential cleo
ton, and if business and industry contin-
ues to thrive it will have disappeared al
together before 1900. 1t was not belief
in bimetalism that produced the big
Bryan vote of last year, it was simply the
cry that free silver would cure hard
times. If hard times are cured without
it there is no danger that the people will
pay any attention to it in 1.-The future.
Men don't take medicine when they are
feeling we'll. 1t is only among sick peo-
pie that the quack has. any chance Of sue
cess. The experience of the country since
last November has served to disproye
great many of the theories which the
silver men laid down as certain. Wheat
and silver are no longer tied together
in the public mind, for the claim of the
silver people that the former could not
rise in price unless the latter did, has
been completely disproved. Supply and
demand. and not the status of silver,
has been shown to govern the prices of
our staples, and it will be impossible for
many years to come at least to float the
theories which made the silver heresy so
taking last year. Unless the country
plunges into deeper adversely than last
year the silver men will never again have
the chance of electing a Congress and
President on the strength of their theories

1t will be remembered that the House
at the close of the special session passed a
bill creating commission to examine
the currency and report bill providing
for such reforms as are needed. This bill
was not acted upon by the Senate, how
ever. It is altogether improbable that the
House will take any further action upon
| the currency until the Senate has taken
up this bill and disposed of it. If that
body should pass the bill in concurrence
then undoubtedly Mr.. Mckinley would
appoint commission. In all probability
the commission SO appointed would need
several months to make the necessary
inquiries and formulate plan, and if
| it's report reached Congress before adj
| journment it would be SO late in the SEES
sion as to render action impossible. So
eventually the matter would go over until
the second regular session. But there
is practically no prospect that the Senate
will agree to the House bill. There is
not a SO called sound money majority, and
therefore the opposition will be able to
fight successfully the passage of the bill
That they will fight it admits of no
doubt, for they obviously will not assist
in providing weaposs for the gold men
to fight them with. If the Senate will
not pass this bill OF course it follows that
it will not pass any bill which the House
could send over on the currency matter,
and hence the latter body is likely to
conclude that it will only be waste of
time to go further than it went at the
last session. The logic of the situation
is certainly against any attempt at cur
rency reform at the coming session, and
Judging from the uttearnces of members
of Congress who have been questioned on
the subject, there will be no attempt to
change it, for the very good
reason that it is generally understood that
any attempt of the kind would be useless.

The Way Pianos Are Going at the
WarerOOms of the COnOver
Music Company.

The rush for pianos during the past
week at the Conover Music cOmpany's
great thirty-day clearing sale, is UNI
precedented in the music trade. 1t is
something almost unheard of to find
customers awaiting their turn to he
shown pianos, but such has been the
case nearly every day for the past
week, and judging from the number
of sold cards sticking in pianos in
all parts of the warerooms, it looks as
if their surplus stock would be dis
posed of long before the thirty-day
limit has expired.
Large fancy, new upright pianos Of
good reliable makes-of fine tone and
action, most Of them only slightly used
or a tribe shopwOrn, that it would
seem ought to easily bring $3.50 or $500,
have been sold for as low as 800 and
$3.50 and 5000, and others still more
elaborate in fancy, oak and walnut
cases, went at $3.50 on payments of $40
a month.
We need the room as soon as pos
sible for our stock of new goods for
the holiday trade and must have it, no
matter what the sacrifice. Come In
the morning, if possible, as we can show
you the instruments to better advan-
tage than when the rush is on.

RAIN INSTEAD OF SNOW.
Last Years Weather Could Not Be
Duplicated.

st. Paul's weather prescriber made
a vain attempt yesterday to duplicate
the dose he gave this city exactly a
year ago. Upon that occasion he sue
ceeded in bringing down eight inches
of snow, which nearly blocked the
street cars and made trains late. 1t
was one of those wet snows-for the
temperature averaged 80 degrees
above zero, but things stiffened up the
next day, and the, "beautifuP' re-
manned for some time.
Yesterday the conditions for a snow
storm were almost as favorable-the
maximum temperature being only SO
+ degrees, andI the minimum 29-but
when the weather maker pulled out
the plugs the water came down, not
in feathery flakes of white, but in
plain, everyday drops of rain. It was
one of those fine-tooth comb rains that
is always travelling in the opposite d.
rection from that in which you are
walking or riding. 1t was accom-
panied and aggravated by a raw and
cutting wind that causes far more dis
comfort than any other combination
of elements outside of Veritable biz
card.
This sort of wet weather, prevailed
during the latter portion of the after
noon and early evening until along
towards 10 o'clock when the sky
cleared and the temperature began to
fall. ..

STREET RAILWAY MATTERS
On the Tab for Consideration in
Committee Today.

The committee on streets from the
board of aldermen will hold a regular
meeting this afternoon. The principal
business to come up for consideration
is the ordinance submitted some weeks
ago bv Vice President Goodrich, of the
street railway company. At the last
meeting Of the committee the street
railway officials were given to under
stand that the ordinance would not be
at all acceptable unless it provided for
transfers to and from the line now OPP
Grated as a cable to all other lines.
The time for which the franchise was
to run. the committee thought, should
be inserted in the ordinance the ma
jority of the members holding with
Corporation Attorney Markham that
the ordinance, under which the cable
line is now being operated. was not a
perpetual franchise, and that, if the
measure submitted by the company
was approved by the council, the fran
chise should be limited to the same
number of years as the other electric
line franchise.
The question of what the company
intends doing about the paving of
Third and Fourth streets will also be
taken up. 1t is not expected that the
street railway officials will be ready to
announce a line of action in the paving
question, but it is expected more time
will be asked for. Monday a person in
the employ of the company in this city
visited the city clerks Office and asked
for copy of the resolutions passed by

pied the chair of the managing editor
of the Volkszeitung during the few
days that that paper was in possession
of the bondholders, swore out a COM
plant yesterday before the county at
tOrney on the strength Of which q war
rant was issued for the arrest of Col.
Edward Tietz and Max Wolff, charging
these gentlemen with conspiring to
lodge Mr.. Bergmeier in an insane asy-
lum. The sheriff found that Col. Tietz
had gone to Collegeville, Mimi, and
would not return until today.
In detail, the complaint alleges that
Col. Tietz and Max Wolff COnspired to
get Mr. Bergmeier out of the way and
that through their instTumentality in
formation of insanity was lodged
against him in the probate court dur
ing Capt. Gallick's incumbenCy while
Judge Willrich was in Europe. 1t is
not charged that Col. TietZ signed or
filed the information, but that he con-
spired with Wolff to start the machin-
cry of the probate court. Under the
laws of this state two or more persons
who enter into a conspiracy to falsely
institute and maintain an action or
special proceeding against another per-
son, are guilty of a misdemeanOr
AS a matter of fact, Bergmeier was
never arrested or examined in the pro-
bate court, as the information of in

WILLIAM HENRY's HIT.
st. Paul School Teachers Charmed
by His Lecture.

If William Henry Eustis' election as
governor depended upon the say of the
st. Paul school ma'ams, he would be as
good as elected now, for his lecture at
the high school assembly hall yester-
day afternoon was pronounced by
those who heard it as the lOveliest
event yet in series which promises
much pleasure and edificatiOn for the
winter.
1.-THE Moors in Spain" was Mr.. Eus-
it's topic, and what with the vivifying
influence of a personal visit to the
scenes depicted, what with a more
than ordinary eloquence, and, finally,
with the prestige Of the most interest
ing bachelor eXmayOr Minneapolis
ever had, the Minneapolitan at once
won the favor of the teachers, without
needing the auxiliary of lantern slides.
Mr. Eustis depressed slightly in or
der to impress one or two points
strongly on his teacher hearers, espe-
cially remarking on the introduction
by those who were the topic of hiS adj
dress to Europe of the mariners COM
pass and the Arabic system of numer-
ais.
The lecture was one of a number
which the st. Paul teachers have ar
ranged for to be given during the pres
ent school year.

MISSING WITNESS RETURNS.
Stella MaslOwsl&a, Wanted on the
Dougherty Case, Found.

Stella Maslowska, the complaining
witness whose testimony caused the
indictment of James Dougherty and
Richard Gahagan on the charge of
indecent assault, and whose sudden
disappearance necessitated the cessa-
ton of the trial of Dougherty after
eleven jurors had been secured. re-
appeared yesterday. Stella told Coun-
ty Attorney Anderson that she had been
hiding with friends in Minneapolis ever
since she left st. Paul, which was
something over a week ago. She re-
turned to st. Paul Tuesday night, but
instead of proceeding directly to her
home on Maryland street, she slept at
a boarding house not far distant Yes
terday morning she went home, where
she was apprehended by Acting De-
tective Olberg, of the Margaret street
station, who had been detailed to watch
the house.
In the afternoon, Stella, who is a girl
seventeen years of age, was taken to
the county attorneys office and in
terrogated concerning her conduct in
running away at such a time. County
Attorney Anderson reports that Stella
gave him two reasons-first, that she
was afraid of Stan Donnelly, the at
torney for Dougherty, who had sub
jected her to a searching cross exam
IudIlOu III the pOllCG COuIl, anu, S6COuQ-
ly, she had been advised by certain
party that the best thing she could do
was to leave town.
After assuring the girl that there
was no occasion for her to be frighten-
ed, County Attorney Anderson advised
her to go home and remain there until
next Monday forenoon, when the case
against Dougherty would again be call
ed for trial before Judge Lewis.
