IT is OUTRAGEOUS.

Incompetent as e the present city
council is in every important aspect
there are few features of it more repre-
hensible than it's readiness to permit
the robbing Of unsuspecting or ignor-
ant visitors to ST. Paul by fake con-
Germs got up for that purpose, oper-
ating boldly under the very eyes Of
the police. 1t is easy to find eXcusee,
even though they be not very good
ones, for evasion or defiance of some
of the ordinances that have been the
plague of all administrations. There
are certain evils attendant upon mu-
nicipal life, too, which only a very
strong and wise man can handle prop
erly. But any city executive and any
chief of police worthy of the name at
all, and competent to administer any
kind of law, ought to answer the
primary purpose Of all gov
eminent by putting an end to this par
ticular kind of depreciation. 1t is not
an especially high compliment to a po-
lice force to say that it has stopped
highway robbery, and our own could
scarcely lay claim to such praise. Yet
the obstacles in the way of apprehend-
ing highwaymen are immense as COM
pared with any difficulty to be expert
enced in closing up, within few hours
of their opening, any one of the con-
Germs that are established for the sole
purpose of fleeing the unwary.
That is what our existing admins
tration has not done, and its inaction
or Indifference is not as bad as the
reason that it gives. 1t does nothing
at all until it's attention IS called pub
licly to the existence Of swindling op-
erations carried on boldly in estab-
lished quarters. Then it calmly says
that it was in absolute ignorance Of
the existence Of the gang of thieves
and their practices, and brought the
law to bear upon them as soon as in
formation came in. What, in heavens
name, is a police force for if, in a city
the size Of St. Paul, it is unable to
know what is going on until some in
terested citizen trots up to the city
true. it ought to secure the deposition
of every man on the force. If band
Of sWindlers can carry on their oper-
atoms in a building on one Of our prin-
cipa1 streets in the open light of day.
and send out their runners to pull in
the countryman and his cash, and no
patrolman ever discover or report the
facts to his chief, although they are
known to everybody else about town,
then we are no better off under such
government than if we had none at
all and saved the expense.
If, on the contrary, a police force
tolerates the existence of their head
center for weeks, and tips them a hint
to close, or at least pretend to close,
only when indignant citizens protest,
we all know the reason why. This
policy of immunity for the bunco
steerer is not so unknown to municipal
politics elsewhere that we need be in
doubt about the true inwardness of it.
1t is an open and a crying shame that
these things have been permitted to go
on without molestation by the city
government, but it is only one more
item in the long list Of instances of
the utter contempt displayed by our
present officials for public opinion,
municipal interests and ordinary de-
cency.

WORK FOR THE EXPERTS.
What Electricians Are Expected to
Pass Upon.

The joint city hall and court house
commission met last night to give
more definite instructions to the three
expert electricians selected to pass up
on the merits of the proposals for heat
Ing and lighting the court house and
city hall and Jail. Messrs. Varnum,
King and German, the commission Of
electricians, Informed the joint COM
m1ttee that they were unable to agree
as to the duties required of them.
Mr.. CutcheOn in behalf Of the ST.
Paul Gas Light company, expressed
the opinion that the experts were TAX
ing everything into consideration, while
Mayor Doran and certain other mem
bers fof the commission maintained
that the electricians were simply re-
quested to pass upon the adequacy of
the engines and dynamos to light the
court house building
Mr.. Cutcheon raised the objection
that the supplemental proposition of
James McGeary to install a lighting
plant for $3.50, and to keep it in repair
for 5000 a year, amounted to an alter
alton of his bid and therefore ought
not to be considered by the commits
sion.
After some further discussion, it was
decided to submit to the committee of
electriciansu certain m, questions. The
questions in substance are as follows:
FIfSI, IS the machinery suggested by
the proposals Of the Ridgeway and
Obber companies good machinery,
which, without reference to it's ca
pacity it would be wise for the COM
mittee to purchase?
Second, has that machinery sufficient
capacity to do the work required of ii?
Third, if the Rfdgeway or other COM
panyS proposals were accepted what
additional apparatus (either steam OF
electrically would be necessary to enable
the committee to properly operate the
two plants in connection?
Fourth, what, if any would be the
expense of purchasing and installing
this apparatus and of getting every
thing ready for proper operation in ad-
dition to the amount of the Ridgeway
or other companies proposals?
Fifth, if the Ridgeway or other com
panies' proposed plant is not regarded
as desirable or adequate, what, in the
judgment of experts, would be the ap-
proximate cost of a desirable or ade-
quate electrical plant to be installed In
its stead?
The committee of electricians is also
requested to estimate the cost of every
thing, including repairs, etc, under
McGeary's bid, not considering his sup
Elementary proposition. and likewise
the cost when the proposition is con-
sidered.
The joint commission then adjourned
until next Friday evening, when the
electricians will make a full report

Tie Cattle Quarantine.

That retaliatory quarantine
measure passed by the present
legislature is bearing frmt. 1t is
giving Missouri dealers no end OF
annoyance. and will probably have
the effect Of bringing them to being
flooded with letters and kilograms
of inquiry, some asking that he
relax terms. Commissioner Vim
heller has in certain instances, but
the Commission is lnexorable,
and refuses to suspend the opera
ton of the law, which provides
that Missouri mules cannot be
shipped into Arkansas save during
the period from April ! to July l.
1t is left optional with the COM
missioner, but the state need have
no fear that there will Re any sus-
pension of the regulations under
existing circumstances. In other
words, Missouri has been exercis-
ing an arbitrary quarantine
against Arkansas cattle for years,
and the state has in vain sought
relief. The government line ex-
tends south of the two northern
tiers of Arkansas counties, but
Missouri saw fit, by making the
line conform with the state line,
to exclude the cattle from a large
territory. Then we had no means
of retaliating, and forcing the
state to recognize the justice of
the claims of Arkansas farmers,
now we have such recourse.
Commissioner Vincenheller says
if Missouri shall see hit to remove
its unjust embargo against Arkan.
sas cattle the new quarantine reg
ulations will be modified to ex-
clude only such stock as may be
actually disease infected.
