The matter of improving the street
railway connection between st. An
thony hill and the bushes section is
now effectually tied up, as it was ex-
pected to be, and as many things in
dictate that 1t was intended to be- The
city council, that has devoted a whole
year to street railway matters, save
for brief intervals when 1t was legis-
lating against bicycle riders and
enjoying long and excited con-
tests over the important office
Of market house master, orders
one thing done in one branch and
another in the other, so that nothing
Will actually be accomplished by either.
Whatever view one may take of the
various propositions under considera-
ton, whether he believes that it is
safe to run electric cars up Third street
hill or not. and whether he is convinced
that safety device can be found to
operate on the Selby avenue hill, or to
| the contrary, he must at least be con-
Vlnced of the utter incompetence of the
city council, that cannot settle so sim
pie question for itself
The discussion, which began with a
demand for through communication
with Merriam Park, and which chose
the most difficult and impracticable
method Of getting at that object, ends
with an apparent deadlock between the
assembly and the board of aldermen,
and veto upon all improvements in
the street railway service. We have
| never seen a more extraordinary exhi-
o1tlon Of unftness to manage public
business, however unimportant, than
has been given by the existing COM
mon council of st. Paul. We are not
now charging them with high crimes
and misdemeanors, for the fact is we
do not believe they have snap enough
In the whole lot to be guilty of any,
thing serious. They are just an assem-
blage of plain, everyday, ordinary in

and talk vaguely into the air. and.

dozen other measures conflicting with
IT. and are as tedious and tiresome and
generally worthless as Mr. Morgan is
in the United States senate.
Since the only acts that the council
has performed have been against the
public interest, it may be, perhaps, a
gain, on the whole, that it does so lit
tle But let us have an end, at least,
Of this wearisome farce about the
street railway. service. The council is
palbably Indifferent to what the pub
lie should have, and is incompetent
to direct any changes or additions to
procure connection with the union de-
pot or to work either toward the pub
lie desire for better communication
with the hill, or the company's desire
to change the cable to an electric line.
1t is just good for nothing at all; and
if all the members were to take the
course threatened by the president of
the assembly not long ago, under the
provocation Of an elaborate course Of
how not to do it, we should certainly
be none the worse off.

FEAR OF FRosTs WAS NEEDLESS.
Growing Grains Can Now Get Along
for Some Time Without Any
More Moisture.

The wires from the Northwest
brought to the city, yesterday, tidings
which were great relief to the rail-
road officials and grain men. 1t was
feared that the severe frosts and the
continued lack of rain in Northern
Minnesota and North Dakota would
have serious effect upon the growing
grain. The crop reports which were
received at the general offices of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
were not so favorable on Saturday and
Sunday as 1t was hoped. Indications
Monday were but little better, and ap-
prehension was felt concerning a num-
Der of localities. Yesterday, however,
the apprehension was removed.
kilograms from every quarter of tho
Northwest stated that a steady rain
had been falling for SO hours and that
the ground was getting thoroughly
soaked. Growing grain which was get
ting parched, and which had been wilt
ed down, was reported yesterday as
having taken a new start.
Rains fell all over North Dakota,
the eastern portion of Montana and
Minnesota On the Devils Lake, Coop
ertown, James River and Cakes
branches Of the Northern Pacific,
which territory was in the district
threatened, the rain came just in the
nick Of time. Last week it was said
that unless the rain came within a
week that that section would prove n
failure this season. Yesterday tele-
gram was received from the agent az
P~icf ri iaL,
providential, and that there could be-
no further fear Of a poor crop. The
same satisfactory tidings were received
from the various divisions and stations
along the line of the Great Northern.
The rain in many sections, was still
falling late yesterday afternoon.

in excess of Democrats, the desire Is
now to get rid of the whole affair. break
down every protection against the
spokesman, and to conform the civil
service law to the low plane Of poll

purchased tariff bill and such local
corruption as owns the Republican par

Pennsylvania, in Illinois, and in most
other states. The war on reform has
not only begun, but has already made
much progress. 1t Is time for the
friends of reform to stand together, and
especially for the country to know
what it is that the Republican party
aims at, and by what means 1t pro-
poses to reach the goal of it's unholy
