strictly in accordance with the accepted idea
of truthfulness and fair play when Mr.. Cope

the evident intention of discrediting the ma
terial used, when baking enamel has, es-
pecially since the advent of the bicycle, be-
come a staple and recognized factor in the
world of manufacture, particularly on ac-
count Of its beauty and durability. Still there
may be an excuse. the excuse of ignorance
Copeland Co. may not know what baking
enamel Is, and Of course the city Of St. Paul
is we'll able to pay for Mr.. Copeland's zig

sum OF $40, why that is such a small matter
that the fact of Neumann's bid being some

To the st. Paul Globe:


To the St. Paul Globe:
The recent Indian trouble on our northern
frontier has given rise to more or less criti-
cism Of the conduct of the government troops.
1t is a tradition in the regular army that
one hundred regulars more than a match
for any thousand Indians. This venerable be-
lief, which originated in the bow and arrow
period, and seems as imperishable as Ayers
military record, must, l believe, be relocated
to obscurity. If Gen. Bacon is an old Indian
fighter, it seems to me that it should have
occurred to him that to march company
front in hostile territory IS to say the least,
unwise. That they were tAe victims of an
unexpected ambuscade is admitted but
should old Indian fighter expect an Eek
pected Ambassador" Did any one ever hear
of an Indian, even of the Fennimore Cooper
brand, who did not fight from cover?
As a matter of fact, does any one, not
feeble-minded fight in the open if cover is at
hand?
After a loss of fifteen members Of his COM
mand, about twenty per cent, Gen. Bacon re-
treated to the mainland and wired to Wash
ington he had put down the uprising
He might have added that he put down"
a major Of the Third and several Others
about six feet under ground.
While the gallant general was wiring this
reassGrlng message which sent Alger back
to calm calculation Of the profits Of the
war, lOIgees were arriving at Walker, driven
in by hostile parties of Indians in war paint,
hurryng to join their fighting fellows. Mr..
Morton, the thoroughly reliable and conserva-
tive staff correspondent of your paper, wired
shortly afterwards that Indians were threat
ening the village Of Lathrop nine miles from
the point at which Gen. Bacon had quelled
the uprising. Conversation is a very valuable
article and helps to pass the time. but arith-
metic, while vulgar, has a certain8ewey-like
directness. Truth is stronger than fiction, to
Alger and many Others but there is no es-
cape from it, Let us tabluate it:
RaCOns force. Observation-Disclosures. so men
Inuldn force Observation-Disclosures. unknown
BacOn's loss in killed and disabled. 80. 10 men
Indian loss mot verifeld) ................1 man
Therefore, If it takes eighty regular troops
to kill one Indian with total casualties, Of
fifteen men, how many regulars will it take
to kill the 1,600 bucks supposed to be in the
section of Northern Minnesota and Leech
lake?
Arithmetic tells us that If the Indian force
is 1000, it will take 128,000 regulars to kill
them and the loss will be in arithmetical
proportion, q fraction less than 20 per cent,
or nearly $4,000 of regular troops. The loss
in line officers will be in the same proportion,
one out OF every fiftesn, or 1706 commissioned
officers. To these casualties add the mortal
ity OF camp life, if Alger remains in office.
Then contemplate the result. That is, if you
can. Militiaman.

Or What They Had Paid for
Aldermen Defer Action for a
Week.
Property holders along the route OF
the Randolph street car line were
granted a hearing before the alder
manic committee on streets last even
Ing, when objections to the abandon
ment Of the line were heard. At the
conclusion of the session it was de-
cided that the matter would be allow
ed to rest in allegiance until the next
meeting Of the committee. In the mean
time 5. l.. Howell, representing the
property holders, will consult with the
city attorney relative to some recon-
mendation to be made to the council.
The meeting was attended by nearly
fifty property holders. S. L. Howell.
representing their interests, stated their
position to the committee, after the
opinion Of the city attorney concern
ing what relief was IN his opinion at
hand for the DIRECTORS had been read.
Mr. Howell said the attempt to aban-
don the Randolph line was the same
as if the company should cut off the
Grand avenue extension. The resi-
dents along the Randolph line were a.
different class Of people, he said, but
this fact was not material, as they
We're entitled to the same privileges
that residents of any part of the city
would receive. The majority of the
property holders along the Randolph
line, Mr.. Howell said had originally
objected to the building Of the line.
and even If some Of them had not paid
the bonus they were entitled to a. hear
ing. According to Mr.. Howell a provf-
sion Of the city railways charter stip-
ulated that If line was to be run on g.
street not already graded that the COM
pany should bear the grading expense
Contrary to this, Mr.. Howell said. the
the city forced the property holders
to pay for the grading for the RAN
dolph street line and took $1,000 worth
Of property from residents to widen
the street. The expense also of grad
ing the Lexington street hill. Mr..
Howell said, was borne by the prop
erty holders, when, according to his
claim, the improvement was only done
to accommodate the company build
ing the line.
In refuting the statement Of Assist
ant Attorney Taylor in stating in his
opinion that this improvement might"
have been done to help the construc-
ton Of the line, Mr.. Howell read from
the records of the board of public
works directing the Improvement that
it was ''in order to facilitate the con-
struction Of the road"
According to Mr.. Howell some lots
on Randolph street had been left be-
low grade and he intimated that the
right for the owners to institute dam
age suits might be taken ADVANTAGE of.
do you mean that the city will be
sued?" asked Aid Sanborn.
IF the city is not sued" replied Mr..
Howell sit ought to be for it's par
ticipation in the fraud practiced upon
these property holders. The city join
ed in the wrong done these people and
it Is for this reason that we ask the
present common council to make rep
aration in as far as possible. You have
the power to right the wrong and we
ask you to do it,"
Continuing. Mr.. Howell said that the

GEN. BLANCO'S DECREE.
1t Is Regarded as Important by
Spaniards Who Are Interested.

HAVANA, Oct. S-A decree OF Capt. Gen.
Blanco, dated Oct. 8, has been published
1t provides, first, that full discharge be
granted to every enlisted man who has the
right to 1t, and who desires to remain in
Cuba.
Secondly, it provides for the transfer to
the second reserve for those who, possessing
the necessary qualifications, wish to remain
in Cuba.
Thirdly the decree provides for the return
to Spain Of those who may have previously
lost the right to return passage.
These orders are looked upon here as be-
ing important. Many men now in the Span
ish army will decide to remain here, az
there is brighter future for them in pros
pect in Cuba than there would be>if they
returned to Spain.
A medal commemorative Of the blockade
will be struck by the city Of Havana. A
competition has been opened for the best
design.

essential that there shall be establish
