INTEREST WHICH THE CITY PAYS
UNDER THE GAS LIGHT
CHARTER.
THE COUNCILS LATEST MOVE.
IF THE RESOLUTION OF ASSEMBLY
is PASSED BY THE ALDER
MEN
MATTER MAY GO INTO COURTS.
Removal or Replacing of Unused
Lamp Posts Would, 1t Is Claimed.
Be Hardship for Company.

Should the resolution adopted by the
assembly relative to the non-payment
of interest on gas lamp-posts not in
service be concurred in by the board Of
aldermen the result will be a suit IN
the courts to test the law under which
payments are now made.
Under the charter granted to the st.
Paul Gas Light company by the terri
torial legislature, in 1857, the city IS
obliged to pay interest upon the origi-
nal cost Of the street lamps, lamp
posts, gas meters, gas pipes and on the
cost of erecting and laying the same.
The city last year paid something over
$4,000, under this clause the interest
being s per cent on $S5, 1888, which IS
the amount named as being the cost
of public lamps erected up to Dec 81,
1895. The resolution passed by the as
sembly provides that the lamp-posts
now in the streets which have been
placed out Of service, either from the
substitution of electric arc lights, or
for other reasons, be removed. The
same resolution also provides that, af-
ter the passage of the order, the city
comptroller shall not pay interest on
any lamp-pOSts which are not in serv-
Ice.
The clerk of the board Of public
works reported that there were in the
neighbOrhOod of 700 lamp-posts which
were not now in service, and while he
was not certain about the matter, the
amount paid in interest would be about
$1,000 per year on that number of posts.
Manager Ellison, of the gas company,
did not have the exact figures at hand,
but he thought the amount now paid
on posts which were not in service
would not aggregate more than $500
per year. The matter of removing the
posts from the streets woul involve
considerable work, as in all instances,
the posts We're connected with the
mains, and it would require consider
able work to take them out On the
streets paved with asphalt it would be
necessary to tear up the pavements
to remove the posts.
w. F. M. Cutcheon, attorney for the
gas company, said the city would prop
was under the impression, however,
that the original charter gave the COM
pany the right to charge interest On
posts which had been discontinued. If
this was not the case, any number OF
lamps might be ordered, and after the
mains were in and the lamps erected
they could be ordered out and the COM
pany would have to stand the expense.

MARK EFT HALL MEETING.
Good Programme, but Il Rather Slim
Aftendance

attendance.
The entertainment for the benefit Of the
unemployed at Market hall Iast night proved
considerable of a disappointment in the mat
ter OF attendance. although it is understood
that from 200 to 300 tickets were actually
sold. There were less than rs people present
and the entertainment did not begin until
near p. m.
The speakers of the evening were late In
arriving, but the attendance was entertained
in the meantime by a Musical programme
prepared by John Gehan and also by a num-
Der Of vocal and instrumental selections bv

Messrs. Willard and Bartlett mandolin and
guitar artists, Mayed a selection from I'll
irovatore,' and male quartette, compris-
Morrow, sang several selections Mrs. Gather
Inc Hoffman, was the accompanist
The speakers Of the evening were Ignatius
Donnelly, Rev. Father Lawler, Gen. Moses
E. Clapp and Judge John w. Willis
Mr.. Donnelly declared that the present
condition of affairs in Europe where the
powers with their standing armies were chok-
ing on the Greeks was nothing more OF less
than the work Of the money power. 1t was
the money power that sustained those stand
ing armies 1t was also the money power that
was responsible for the lack of sympathy
displayed by the United States for oppressed
Cuba, the source of nearly all of Spain s
revenue: Mr.. Donnelly advised his hearers
to do little thinking for themselves
Father Lawler took brighter view Of the
existing conditions in America and dwelt upon
the freedom of its institutions and the equality
and liberty of man under this government
Gen. Clapp in brief but most earnest
ADDRESS said that the existing condition of
affairs was most serious. Human slavery, he
SAID had been superseded by commercial
slavery. All that was left was hope-hope
that the country was passing through an
other historical epoch which would result
In broader liberties for mankind, Gen Clam
made no allusion to prosperity or its advance
agent.
Judge Willis closed the programme with
an urgent and eloquent appeal to the people
to cease crowding into the cities and to
devote themselves to agriculture The con-
gested condition of the cities was RESPONSE

strated its right to place in the calendar. II
is thoroughly salutary and unselfish in its
aims. Its work is not for today alone, but
will be felt for good through generations yet
to follow. With each passing year its value
is better understood and more highly appre-
ciated. In the short space of twenty five years
the celebration Of this day has extended to
almost every part of the civilized world.
Now, therefore, l, D. M. Clough governor
of the state of Minnesota, do hereby designate
and set part Friday, April 90 1897 as Arbor
day, and earnestly ask the people of the
state, and especially the children in all our
public and private schools, as well as the
teachers, to Join heartily in It's appropriate
observance ...
The state superintendent Of public in
struction has issued little Arbor day
document Of his own, and 500 of them
were mailed yesterday. AS to the
method of observing the day, Prof.
PendergaSt says:
Much will depend upon the teacher.
If the teacher has a moderate share of
inventiveness, there will be little diff
Guilty. The chief thing is to have the
pupils interested in what they do; and
If they are invited to offer suggestions,
they will often make plan so sensible
and satisfactory as almost to relieve
the teacher from any burden. 1t should
be remembered that this is eminent1y
children's day, and that, as the
drum and fife, plumes and banners are
needed by groWn-up people to make
some celebration satisfactory, children
like ceremonies, especially on such spe-
cial occasions as this. Banners, scarfs,
badges, music-if it can be procured
will all help to arouse the interest Of
the pupils. The early part of the pro-
gramme might consist of addresses, es-
says by the older pupils, etc. 1t must
be borne in mind that ArbOr day is not
a legal holiday, but simply particular
day set apart for the planting Of trees
and for special instruction in all that
pertains to them. individuals, pupils
or classes may plant trees or groups of
trees, which shall be regarded as pc
| culiarly their own, and, in the preser-
walton of which, from year to year they
! will feel an interest and responsibility.
| Let there be a more general observance
! of this day than ever before"

OPPOSITION TO PERKINS.
AssembIymen Threaten to Hold Up
His Salary

When the pay roll of the health department
for the month of April comes up before the
assembly for confirmation there is apt to be
a strong kick registered The opposition will
be over the payment Of the salary of Dr.
George D. Perkins, who has recently been
appointed assistant health comm :ssioner by
DR.. Stone. While the committee having
charge of the unemployed fund was waiting
for a quorum the Other day the appointment
of DR.. Perkins was brought up for discus
sion.
Mayor Doran said the appointment of the
new assistant might be all right from a pro-
fessional standpoint, but he was in favor of
home talent. There particular need
he said, for the city to go to Michigan 10
secure the services of an assistant health
commissioner, and the inference was that the
people in St. Paul were all set Of block
heads
Assemblyman Reardon said he didn't mind
saying that he would never vote to confirm
the Michigan man.
Assemblyman Craig was under the impress
sion that the council did not have to confirm
the appointment. Mr.. Reardon said that was
correct, but the assembly had TO approve the
pay roll. and he for one would never vote a
cent to any officer of the city government
who was not a resident Of the city. The
other members present did not say lust what
they would do, but it is safe to say that
there will be a strong opposition 10 approving
the pay roll of the health department with
the new assistant commissioners name

recommendation that 1t pass.
The committee will not make its report on

turns from Polk county Monday
The members of the committee were not
inclined to talk much yesterday but the
action of the committee on the bill indicates
the character of the report.
Senator Dunng chairman of the committee
asked that the bill be placed on general or
ders.
President Gibbs stated that the bill would
be given It's second reading and &c on gen
eral orders during the day anyway, and the
motion not pressed.

bureau, the bill cuts the salary of the com
missioner from $500 to So, 900 per year; that
of the deputy commissioner from $500 to

TyndaIe Palmer VIII Have to Go
HIGHER for Moro.

Judge Kelly filed caustic memoran-
DUN yesterday, justifying his order
denying a motion for a new trial of the
libel suit of ISyndale Palmer against the
Pioneer Press company. Tyndale Palm
er sued the paper for damages for
printing among its United Press dis
patches an account of some business
enterprise, with which Palmer was ac-
cused of being identified Palmer also
brought similar actions against many
other newspapers throughout the coun-
try that published the same item.
Upon the trial Of this particular case
before Judge Kelly and a Jury, last
fall, the jury returned a verdict in IA
vor Of Palmer for $50. Palmer. feeling
aggrieved at what he regarded as the
low estimate the jury entertained for
his character. instructed his counsel,
G. r. lockwood, of Minneapolis, to ask
for q new trial.
The motion was duly made, on the
ground that the verdict was the re-
suit Of passion or prejudice Nearly
every other conceivable ground was
also alleged. Judge Kelly thinks the
verdict should stand, and that $50 is. q
sufficient amount for the damage done.
