THE PEOPLE APPROVE.

The reception accorded to the move
ment for securing by petition the ap-
pointment of a charter commission for
st. Paul is cordial in the extreme. 1t
is the spontaneous expression OF public
opinion, which is especially gratifying
in that it extends to all parties and
to all sorts and conditions of men. 1t
is not limited to the educated or the
uneducated; not divided by the lines
between capital and labor; is moved by
the irresistible force Of good citizen
ship. Our people have become convinc-
ed that a new charter is absolutely
necessary to relieve us of the difficult
ties and embarrassments that are
source of positive injury to st. Paul.
They have come to see clearly that the
only hope of relief is for them to act
for themselves.
This they are doing with splendid
unanimity and enthusiasm. Business
men are enrolling themselves among
the signers of the petition, because they
see that the business interests of the
city demand charter reform. The la
boring men of st. Paul are practically
a unit in it's favor. They have long de-
sired and demanded certain perfectly
proper changes in the charter, which
they now understand can never be
brought about except by action under
the home rule amendment and subse-
quent legislation. There is no party
spirit in this, there is no party inter
est, there is no selfish motive. 1t is just
one Of those demonstrations of public
spirit and zeal for the growth of st.
Paul which used to be so frequent, and
which it makes us all happy and con-
fident to see coming to the front once
more.
We urge again upon the people, sole
ly for the peoples good, to hasten to
sign this petition at the first oppor
tunity, so that there may be no posi-
bility for delay by certain selfish inter
ests that believe themselves to be for
titled against change while the existing
charter holds. We can know absolute
ly that our splendid district judges will
appoint a first-class commission. We
know that all the people, high and low,
will be represented there as they de-
serve; and to rich and poor, merchant
and laboring man, it is vital that the
new charter movement go forward.
Push the good work along at the same
rate of speed with which it has been
begun, and a charter commission and
a new act Of government are a GER
tainty.

INVESTIGATION NEEDED.

The first evidence that the civ conn
| Gil has given for a long time Of an ex-
istence either useful or active is its
proposition to investigate the circum-
stances under which $4,000 of the
! city's money were placed in one of
the suspended banks It is time and
more than time that we should find out
why deposit so exceedingly and I'M
usually large was placed with an insti-
tuition which the resolution of the
assembly, reciting what are under
stood to be the facts, declares had
not complied with the conditions
required by law. 1t was ex-
pressly resolved by the common coun-
Gil Of st. Paul in November, 1895. when
the banks that were to be legal do
positories for the city were named. that
no money should be placed in any one
of them until it had furnished a bond
and such bond had been proDerlv an
proved by the city. 1t is we'll known
that the validity of some of these bonds
is already contested, and that the re-
turn Of the city's money is open to
question.
In disposing of city deposits there is
but one rule which ought to be follow
ed, and that is to be on the safe side.
Neither political nor personal consider
atoms ought for one instant to influence
any officer of the city to give up one
cent of it's funds until he has the most
ample and indisputable guarantee of its
safe keeping and prompt return on de-
mand The very least that the council
can do is to investigate the action of
the city treasurer in making deposits
where troublesome CONTINGENCIES might
arise. The only surety given by the AL
lemannia bank is a bond formerly given
by the old Commercial bank in 1895
The question whether this will hold
is now asked by reason of an apparent
change in the signatories. Whatever
may be the facts or the law of the case
the action of city official in placing
such an enormous sum Of the citv's
possible
question of the worth of the guarantee

say the least, extraordinary The peo-
pie demand that the investigation be
thorough ard impartial, and that the
taxpayers of st. Paul be informed into
what sort Of custody their money is
given when it is turned over to the
present municipal administration
The present occasion ought not to
pass without establishing a rigorous
rule for the future Furnishing any lax
ity that may be proved in the past, and

POPULIsrs ARE CONSISTENT.

There is much instruction in the pro-
ceedings of the Populist state central
committee j.of Minnesota, as set forth
in the resolutions adopted at it's recent
meeting. We give these gentlemen the
credit that they deserve for consistency
in their position. Not only do they de-
clare that their party still exists, but
they demand for it, first, the leadership
OF the future, and, second, a recogni-
ton of its ESSENTIAL doctrines as set
forth in the Omaha platform. Especial
ly interesting is this in its relation to
the movement for the free coinage of
silver. The Peoples party has never
made any pretense on this line. 1t has
never for one moment admitted that
free silver was the ultima Thule for
1T. 1t consented, reluctantly and with
the plain statement that it was only
temporary concession, to stop at that
point for single campaign. For the
sake Of union Of forces it was will
Ing to support free silver as a single
it's idea of a nations currency. 1t
makes plain it's position on this point
in its resolutions.
The Populists say that "as long as We
use metallic basis for our currency"
both metals should be included. But
the metallic basis. in their minds, is
all wrong. Money should be fiat. In
this they are strictly logical. Since
they believe that money is the creation
of government, then they are right in
holding that government ought to make
it Of the cheapest material possible. It
is made very clear, and will be made
clearer as events develop, that whoever
acts with the Peoples party in the fu-
ure or expects to receive its support
must go the whole hog, and accept the
fiat theory Of money Internationally as
the future policy Of this country.
