The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-10-23

sin to meet the committee Of the as.
ociation was still to be disposed OF.
AL Of the members Of the association
were present and 1t was shown that
as a body the association would OPP
pose all Of it's strength to the election
TO office Of a man who has 80 little
regard for the law and for decency as
Arosin exhibited. There was some
discussion as to whether the master
plumbers would shut up their shops
and let the men go out and oppose
Arosin. This question was left to
9ourneymen plumbers will hold meet
Ing and there is no doubt Of the re-
suit of their deliberations. They will
go. after him as one man.
All Of which Is the result of the
overbearing nature Of Mr.. Arosin.
Another instance of his attitude to-
ward the public is shown in the way he
forced the Juvenile department OF the
public library out Of it's quarters in the
city hail.
SHUT OUT THE CHILDREN.
Mr.. Arosin is a very fashionable and
fastidious young man, and he. himself
is authority for the statement that he
is so exceedingly good-looking that
when he was in New York he was re,
peatedly taken for Lieutenant Com
mander Hobson, of Merrimac fame
lie was not so bad until that happened
put when he had quite made UP his
mind that he looked like Hobson he
found his surroundings at fire head
quarters out of all proportion to his
deserVings The rooms weren't dignt-
fled enough in which he had to sit for
an hour every two weeks, and he look
ed for quarters where the air would
be more redolent of politics and less Of
the machine He went over and look
ed the city hall through, and at once
concluded that If the Juvenile library
could be thrown out room might be
made for the judges Of the municipal
court, and the rooms occupied by them
might be utilized by the fire board
he went to work on his scheme He is
nothing, If not pertinacious. 1t Is the
only quality that he retains of the
characteristics of his hardy ancestors.
lie got Mayor Kiefer into the scheme,
and then went after the city hall and
court house commission, and before
anybody knew just what he was doing
the Juvenile readers had been ousted
from the building.
Then came a roar Of public indigna-
ton, which affected Arosin not a bit
but which did move Col Kiefer to a.
sense of what was fitting, and the ju-
venile department was saved by this
averted the effort Of Arosin to have it
abolished.
The Republican candidate for county
treasurer has in everything shown his
utter disregard for public opinion, but
ne does not stop there.
NO USE FOR OLD SOLDIERS.
1t occurred some time ago that
member Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public was candidate for appointment
to the place Of marketmaster He went
to Arosin and asked for his indorse-
ment, saying that he was an old SOL
der. Arosin looked at him through
his glasses, with the supercilious air
that marks him when he comes in
touch with the common people, and he
Is reported to have said:
You old soldiers are nuisance. If
had my choice between supporting an
old soldier for an office or supporting a
Niger, don't know what I would do. >"
Which. shows at once the regard the
man has for the old soldier, and also
demonstrates that he has no very high
opinion of colored men when he could
think of no other comparison.
