AN EXTRAVAGENT JOB.

The alleged report Of the Bill An
drews Lexow" investigation OF Phil :
delphia, is having hard sailing. Sem
ator Grady, one of the members of
the Committee, refuses to sign the
report on the grounds it is said, that
Silas w. Petit, the lawyer who ex'
smined the witnesses summoned
before that body has written the re
port, not to suit himself. In it ru
NOR has it that Petit has inserted
some ginger and paper phrases on
which he has worked long. They
are said to be "hot stuff" Senator
Grady says he will not sign while they
are in, and Petit refuses to expunge
them. 1t is said that this committee
has done little or nothing beyond
serving factional purposes. Ii this
is true, the bill of expenses which is
said to be S4S, 900 and which it is OK
pected that the people of Pennsylva
MIA must pay. is an outrage. Think
OF it $4,000 of money wrung from
the tax payers to feed factional fires.
The people will not stand it. They
will not endure it. S4s, 900 of the peo.
pies money to feed Senatorial

EXPLAINS THE SHOTS.

Officers McEllistrom and Klima had
an exciting experience with a portion
of the so-called Rice street gang" in
the vicinity of Seventh and Wabasha
streets, at an early hour yesterday
morning during which Officer Klima
brought his revolver into use in stop
ping an escaping prisoner. No one
was injured and Charles Gardner. Will
lam Doran and Joseph Miller were
locked up on the charge of diSorderly
conduct In the police court Doran
was discharged, while Gardner re
cesved a sentence of fifteen days at
the workhouse and Miller a sentence
of thirty days.
The trouble occurred shortly before
o'clock, when officer McEllistrom
passed the crowd on st. Peter street.
They became abusive and Gardner was
arrested. The rest of the gang started
to liberate their companion and threat
ened the officer with rocks. With drawn
revolver he marched Gardner to
Seventh and Wabasha streets, when
Miller became more threatening. OFF,
Ger Klina observed the proceedings at
this point and started for Miller The
young man took to flight and refused
to stop when ordered Officer Klima
then fired three shots to brighten the
youth, but Miller did not slacken his
pace. Officer Klima is something of a
sprinter, however, and stuck TO Miler's
heels until he captured him at Fifth
and Minnesota streets. There were ten
men In the crowd which first meaaced
officer McEllistrom, but only three of
them were arrested

IGNORANT OF HIS BUsINEss,

The remark made by a member Of
the st. Paul common council, in an in
terview published in the G lob yes
terday morning, shows how little these
fellows know about the commonest de-
tails of their own business. If informa-
ton were a requisite to the holding Of
public office, we should be obliged to
hold an election next week to fill va
cancies caused by the practical disap-
pearance of both bodies Of the coun-
Gil This gentleman, who is, no doubt
honest as far as he knows, demurs to
the submission of a new charter to the
people at the next municipal election;
because, he says, perhaps the next
legislature will pass a general charter
act for all cities in the state, and then
where would ST. Paul be? Think Of
that for an expression of opinion by a
man whose office demands that he
know something about charters and
charter laws.
In the first place, the next legislature
will not meet until the beginning Of
1899, and that is rather far cry. In
the second place, it has been demon
strated impossible for the principal
cities Of the state to get together and
agree upon a charter suitable to them
all. In the third place, one general
charter act is already on the books
passed at the instance of the Minneap-
oils delegation, and nobody could be in
duced to read it today by the offer of
handsome reward. In the last place.
it certainly ought to be known to any
body aspiring to membership in the
council that a general charter act and
charter adopted under the home rule
legislation are entirely distinct and
separate matters. One does not inter
fere with the other in the least. The
Howard charter act. now law, and
any future act that might be passed
would be binding upon cities only
when accepted by them. A home rule
charter, when adopted, is fortified be-
hind q constitutional amendment per-
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-06-09

uniting the cities of the state to govs
ern themselves in this way No legis-
lature could upset home rule char
ter in any city until it had secured the
repeal by the people of the home rule
amendment to the constitution of the
state.
Therefore. the objection which we
have been considering is not merely
without force, 1t is puerile. Such are
all Of the objections raised against the
moving for a new charter at the pres
ent time. and such is the caliber Of the
remonstrance. We might expect such
criticism as this from those people who
have never made a study of methods
of government and local needs. but we
should not expect it from any repre-
sentative of the city, save when it is
the unhappy possessor of a common
council like the present.

GOOD DEMAND FOR BUTTER.
Twenty Tons Disposed of at the
Dairy Sale.

Twenty tons, Of what is probably the
best butter made, is the record Of yes
terday on the third sale of the Mime
sofa dairy board of trade, and the
creamerymen and buyers were quite
agreed that it was q record of which
the state might well be proud. Every
pound offered for sale was bid for be-
fore the call was had, and GA tubs, con-
tanning a total of $3.50 pounds. were
chalked up and disposed of at figures
ranging from 1874 to 1871 cents a
pound. The promoters felt yesterday,
when the time for the call came and
there was nothing left to sell, that the
ca1ping Of some of the doubters, re-
specting the cooperation Of the cream
cries of the state, was due to be at an
end. The statement that the board
was clean, made by the secretary, was
greeted with applause.
The buyers representing Eastern
firms were much in evidence, and the
bidding was quite spirited. Miles Car
son & Co., Of Philadelphia, opened the
ball by biding 12A cents covering all
the butter offered. This was raised by
A. H. Barber & Co., of Chicago, to
Ii cents. The biding was lively from
this out. among the firms participating
being Lepman & Heggie, Chicago: r.
E. Cobb, ST. Paul; Barber & Co., Miles,
Carson & Co.. J. S. Moody, and G. c.
Emerson & Co.
A lot of butter, 70 tubs in all, from
Roberts, Wis, was sold twice, first
to r. e. Cobb at 1872 cents, and later
resold to A. HI. Barber & Co., at 1874
cents on call.
A bid for 500 Australian packages
was put in by e. G.. Graham, repre-
senting A. H. Barber & Co., and an
other member Of the board placed an
order for from 200 to 400 tubs parch-
ment lined. r. E. Cobb put in an or
der for 1000 halves. parchment lined.
In response to request from a buy
er as to the guaranty on grade, Secre-
tary Beck quoted from the bylaws, in
substance that if goods sold On the
board did not grade extra on receipt
an inspector, appointed by the beard,
would pass upon it. and the inspection
fee charged up to the creamery if off
grade; the buyer to pay the cost if it
was found extra, according to the rep
resentation of the creamery. This is in
substance the rule governing tranSac-
tons on the Elgin board, and is found
to work satisfactorily The Cannon
Falls Cooperative Creamery company
offered fifteen boxes of full cream
cheese, twins, on which TIC and Tux
were bid respectively, but was not
sold.
Next weeks sale, being the date of
the butter contest, will naturally at
tract creamerymen, buyers and others
from all parts of the country. The
presence of all who are interested is
desired.

CANNOT FILL THE DEMAND.
Orders for Binding Irvine at the
State Prison

state Prison.
The state prison board met at Still
water yesterday, and among the mem
bers to return to st. Paul was Edwin
Dunn, of Eyota Mr.. Dunn says that
the binding Irvine plant at the prison
is behind with its orders and that the
limit Of production has been reached
at last. Warden WOlfer has been COM
PEELED to refuse an order for thirty car
loads of the first and second grade Of
Irvine. Surprising that the car loads
average 10000 pounds or over each,
the amount of orders which the war
den has been compelled to refuse is
over 100000 pounds.
There is on hand now at the prison
over 100000 pounds of the manufac-
tured article, all of which has been
sold to the farmers of the state. The
plant is now running 100 convicts who
are working three hours extra each
day in order to fill all of the orders
which have been received. But even
with this large force and the extra
time, the prison Irvine plant is behind
its orders.
Warden Wolfer is now selling the first
quality pure MANILA Irvine fer 613 cents
per pound, which is the cheapest Irvine
ever sold in the United States. The
Irvine, too, is of the best quality The
second-class Irvine, or half and half.
as it is called, is selling for 512 cents
and the standard Irvine for 4% cents.
A cent reduction is made on all three
classes for orders in carload lots. There
was a time, not many years ago. when
the lowest price which could be OBJ
tanned for Irvine was IS cents PER pound.
The saltwater plant is now turning
out &c, 600 pounds CT finished Irvine per
day. The prison has sufficient raw
material to last until the middle Of
July. Raw material this year, is cheap
err than it was last, which accounts
for the reduced price of the manufac-
tured article.
Mr. Dunn was yesterday elected n
delegate to the International prison
congress in Toronto. July TIA

whole monetary controversy must be
begun anew. If this sketch of the plan
which Mr.. Gage is undoubtedly work.
ing on is an accurate one, the belief
OF those who have distrusted the Re-

as in other departments of economics
is thoroughly justified.

MAY PROVE FATAL.


Bernard Wagner, a young son of Mrs
Louisa Wagner, q laundress living at
Alt Erie avenue, was seriously and
perhaps fatally injured yesterday, as
the result of a blow from a stone
thrown by a neighbor named Sticki-
WITT. 1t appears that young Wagner
with some other boys. were throwing
stones, when they aroused the ire of
Stickiwitz, who heaved heavy boulder
at Wagner, striking him on the head
causing a compound fracture of the
skull The boy was removed to the
city hospital where it was necessary
to trepan the skull in the hope of saw
ing his life. At o'clock this morning
the youngsters recovery was still in
doubt.
Acting upon advice from the city hos
pital authorities regarding the serious
ness of young Wagner's condition.
Lieut.. Babe. in charge of the central
station. dispatched officers to place the
lads assailant under arrest.
