The STREET Railway Company Wins


If the street railway company has
been defeated UP to date in it's at
tempt to grab University avenue and
establish an express service between
the cities on q public thoroughfare it
has at least secured what it has al
ways wanted as a preliminary. that
is, the privilege. of changing the Salbv
avenue cable line into an electric. 1t
has pleased the representatives of the
company to speak as if this were a.
great favor to the city. On the con-
trary, it is concession to the railroad
company itself, and one which should
net have been made without better
terms for the public than are con-
tanned in the ordinance passed by the
council and signed by the mayor.
The antics of the mayor when this
ordinace was presented to him were
exceedingly funny. A party conven-
ton and city election being near at
hand, he had to improve the occasion
according to his own dim light. He
had approved other ordinances. he
would approve this; and he knew if
and everybody else knew it. He de-
layed however, in order to obtain the
opinion of the corporation attorney to
the effect that it was within the DOW
CT of the state legislature, at any time
i'll the future that it might see fit to
reduce the rates of fare on the street
railways of st. Paul below five cents.
Not for the world, Mr. Doran gives rs
to understand, would he have ap-
proved a measure tying the hands of
the public for fifty years to come I'M
less he had had this assurance. That
sis to say. the mayor signs an ordi-
nance whose terms he repudiates as I'M
favorable 20 the people, on the ground
that state legislature may at some
future time correct it. This is pre-
eminent craftsmanship of the Doran
variety
There are three changes that. should
nave been made in this ordinance be.
fore it was accepted by the city. The
first would have required the tunnel
ing or cutting down Of Selby avenue
hill, so as to afford a safe grade with
out the use of any device. The public
had right to demand this, and the
expense involved would have been a
very Slight consideration for the val
liable privileges given by the people to
the street railway company The sec,
ond condition should have been the
substitution of the underground for
the overhead trolley In none of the
large cities do the people think of al
Lowing poles to be erected and wires
to be strung along their streets at this
day. 1t will do for country villages,
but the ambitious and metropolitan
cities are compelling the adoption of
the underground trolley, which is a
complete practical success. The argu-
ments for it in our own case were par
ticularly strong. There are conduits
already in place which could be utiI-
ICED to some extent. The lower part
of the line extends into the wholesale
district, where wires are dangerous,
as we'll as unsghtly. The third con-
dition should have limited the length

A Pure Food Exhibition.

The movement for a pure food ex
hibit, to consist of goods manufac-
tured in st. Paul, is one that should
command the hearty cooperation of
all our people. The food products
which are made right here, which Rave
acquired the highest reputation for ex-
celIence, and which are known and
consumed all over the country, fire.
quently have a weaker position than
their rivals in the local market The
foreign manufacturer, by judicious
and persistent advertising, has pushed
himself to the front and secured the
bulk of the trade for what he has to
sell. The home industry is at a disad-
vantage in the competition, even III
the house of its friends.
We are of those who believe that
home interests should be built up and
upheld. We do not approve of doing
this by cOmpulsiOn, as our tariff laws
contemplate; by forcing the consumer
to pay more for the foreign article if
he should choose it, and raising arti-
fcially the price of the domestic But
we favor ardently, where all else is
equal the fostering of local industry
ana the spending at home of the
money that comes from our own labor
and enterprise. This is a case where
the rule fits perfectly. No one who
has investigated the subject questions
that the food products of ST. Paul are
of as high grade as those made else
where. as none denies that they are
as low in price. Therefore the patron
ling of the local interest becomes a
duty.
The first step is to make known to
our people themselves to what an eX-
tent their wants may be supplied by
their own manufacturers Nest of them
are poor customers of their neighbors
not through Indifference, but because
they Go not know how long and varied
is the list of St. Paul products. The
exhibition which is to open March 1
gill inform them of this; and the st.
Paul ladies who have interested them
selves in the enterprise will prove to
every careful housewife that her table
may be supplied from ST. Paul indus
tries with advantage to purse and to
palate 1t is a splendid undertaking for
the good Of the city and the encoura ge-
ment Of its industry that has been be
gun. 1t viii receive sympathy and en-
enlargement from all our public-spir-
tied people, and we believe that it Will
achieve a, great and lasting success.

Among the Northern Pacific passengers yes
terday was James Mcclellan, a resident of
Hudson, Wis, who is starting, at the invita-
ton of his brother Archie, who went to
Alaska some time ago and who has had ex-
cellent fortune.
James two brothers started off some time
ago, one to Juneau and the other 10 Dawson.
The latter made a rich find, and not long ago
James advised that Archie had disposed
of one claim for $4,000 and was working Il
second and wanted assistance.
Coming up to st. Paul Mcclellan fell in
with Dunn county man named George
Ames, and the two viii go together. They
took the Northern Pacific.
Archie Mcclellan was chief of police at

Must Have the Deep Waterway.

y
Mr.. A. L. Croker, who has. been
from the first one Of the most ardent
champions of the deep waterway pro
ject. expresses his belief, in an article
which we publish this morning, that
New York interests have combined TO
prevent the construction Of a water
way available for large vessels from
the lakes to tidewater. He quotes
various articles from the newspapers
to show that a movement is ON foot to
unload the Erie canal on the United
States government, deepen and enlarge
it, and call this a waterway such as
the commerce of the great Northwest
demands.
We can understand easily how such
project would originate, and what
forces would be combined behind it,
The Erie canal is q white elephant
It's Importance in the grain carrying
trade is diminishing. The state of New
York has just spent $9,00O,009 in i'm
provements, only to find that they are
useless. unless that sum is at least
doubled The people are tired of mair-
tanning it. They would be delishted to
turn it over to the federal authorities
and get rid of it. At the same time
if the whole country could be saddled
with the cost of maintenance, and, if
this should be the public through route
Buffalo would retain it's Importance as
the port of trans-shipment. With the
necessity of breaking bulk there pre-
served, the commerce of the lakes
would pay a double tribute to the En-
pire State.
This will never take the place of the
deep waterway, from the lakes to the
ocean, that our interior carrying trade
demands. Not until the ocean steamer
can find her way to the ports of the
great lakes viii the great grain-pro-
ducing regions of the interior be
brought into that close communication
with the markets, of the world that
they demand and deserve The first
steps toward this great internal i'm
provement have been taken. It's friends
must be on the alert to see that there
is no hating, no retrogression and no
substitution for this of an inferior out
let for the mighty and growing traffic
| of the Northwest.
