EpistIes TO St. Paul,

A number of people have been puzzling
their brains as to what method Mayor Kiefer
will use in apportioning policemen accord
ing to their nationality where there are
enough OF the representatives OF certain ma
uon to warrant more than one policeman but
not enough for two. 1t Is said that the mayor
has found the problem so easy that the neo
pie that were wondering are ashamed to con-
Tess that they are such poor mathematicians.
The story Is that certain citizen wsntad
a place on the force and made personal an
plication to the mayor. The first question
asked by the mayor was regarding the ma
tionality Of the applicant and the reply was

Our Defective Tariff Law.

The Mckinley administration has,
thus far, managed to escape public
criticism in an unusual degree. In the
peculiar circumstances of his election,
the president was permitted to pro-
coed embarrassed by partisan COM
plant in the shaping of his policy IN
accordance with his own ideas of good
government He was conceded to be
an experienced man in public affairs,
possessed of high character and I'M
questioned patriotism, and his political
opponents were indisposed to unduly
embarrass him, preferring, rather, to
afford him the fullest scope for the
demonstration of his executive abilities.
Immediately on taking his seat, he call
ed the new congress together in extra
session, and the majority did his bid
ding by the adoption Of a new tariff
law, formulated in accordance with his
own ideas as an expert in such
economic matters.
regular session followed in due
course. Improved agricultural condi-
tons at home and a failure in bread
stuff crops abroad stimulated the ex-
port trade of our farm products, and
the return Of prosperity was ascribed
in its cause to the enactment of the
Dingley tariff law. 1t was plainly evil
dSnt, however, to those who watched
results carefully, that the measure was
far from meeting the expectations of
its trainers; and deficiencies in the
revenues were increasing month by
month. Excuses of one kind and an
other were forthcoming, and at last
the treasury department was fortui-
tously enabled to recoup in it's re-
ceipts column through the payment 20
the government of SEC, 1000 on ac-
count of the sale of the Union Pacific
and Kansas Pacific railway properties.
When the fiscal year was about three
fourths advanced, our complications
with Spain arose, a national defense
fund of $50, 900, 900 was votsd and public
attention was promptly diverted from
the consideration of governmental
finances to the issue Of ensuing war.
But, while hostilities were in prog
ress, the fiscal year Of 1S97-1S9S came to
an end, June 80 last, and the country
has now an opportunity to fairly con-
slider the merits of the Dingley tariff
law and to pass Judgment thereon In
der the operation of that measure the
accounts for the fiscal year just closed
show the total receipts to have been
$404. 81 ,081. These We're made up Of
$149,819,594 representing the receipts
from customs, being a decrease of, APP
proximately, $26,500,0O0 as against those
Of the preceding fiscal year; also $780,
943,039 representing receipts from in
ternal revenue, being an increase of
something like $23 100000 over the year
preceding, together with $50, POI. 1854. 40,
being proceeds of the Union and

sources.

year were $443,375,3 S7, or $3S, 1854 1907 in
excess of the receipts. It is only fair
to say. however, that the increased ex-
penditures due to war preparations
amounted, June 80, to about $67. O0O, 900.

LAUGHED At KIEFER.
His Effort to Convict Siibcrstein
and SickIes Fails.

Mayor Kiefer's friend. Carl Bruner. who
claimed to have been buncoed out of SO by
Louis Silberstein and Jacob Siclsles. received
little satisfaction the result of the trial
of the accused in the police court yesterday
as Sibersten and Sckels were discharged
Immediately after Bruner told his story.
Bruner said Silberstein 'steered" him into
a clothing store on Third street. near Sibley
where he was induced to buy brass watch
under the representation that his money
would be refunded. He gave up SO for a
"ticker" worth about thirty cents. and then
told policeman.
Mayor Kiefer ordered a police investig lton
as a result of the case. and Attorney Nc
Donald for the accused offered to prove
yesterday that the mayor was paying Burners
expenses to stay in the city to prosecute the
case. Beyond Burners story the state had
no testimony 70 oner; Judge Urr siia brun-

CECILIA PAGET WINS
Ia Her Claim Against Louise X. and
Lewis Ii. Baker.

Lewis B. Baker.
A decision was yesterday rendered by
Judge Kelly in the suit of Cecilia
Paget against Louise K. Baker, Lewis
B. Baker and the st. Paul Trust COM
pany, as trustees under the will Of
Norman Kittson, deceased, and John
]. Houghton, intervenor, in which the
court finds that the intervenor is en-
titled to no relief and as against the
intervenor, the plaintiff is entitled to
a sequestration Of all the interest of
the defendant, Louise X. Baker, In the
trust estate and to have the same APP
piled to the payment and satisfaction
of the plaintiffs judgment against the
defendant.
In an action against the defendants,
Baker ard p H. Ryan, in 1894, the
plaintiff got judgment against the de-
PENDANTS for $12,471.02. The Judgment
was based on promissory notes given
by the Bakers to Ryan and assigned
by the latter to the plaintiffs Later
in the same year an execution was
issued against the property of Louise
Baker and the judgment satisfied in
the sum of $3,379.75. With subsequent
credits made on the judgment there
remained due in 1895 s$S,167.92. Under
the Kittson will there was bequeathed
to the ST. Paul Trust company in trust

Test 1t and End Ii.

Every once and again there rises in
the board of county commissioners the
spOok of the unconstitutiorality of the
law of 1883, which required the county
of Ramsey to pay to the district judges
the sum annually of $1,000 each in adj
dition to the $500 paid them by the
state. Quite as regularly the spook
retires behind the mediums curtain
and peace reigns and the county audi
tor regularly draws his warrants and
the honorable gentlemen of the bench
cash them in at the treaSurerS window.
Again the spook materializes. This
time it feels to the touch like a thing
Of life. Unanimously, not one dissenter
among them, the county commissioners
direct, no, restrain the county auditor
from drawing any warrant for any
portion of the extra-judicial salary, or
the judicial extra salary, as you wish,
after today. No addendum directs the
county attorney to bring suit to recover
the money paid within the statutory
period Of limitations, or beyond it, al
though, if the ground assigned for this
action is not a morass, such a suit
would lie. The commissioners recite
in their mandamus or injunction or
writ of ne exeat or by whatever other
name it is known to the profession
that they are duly advised by their le-
gal counselor that the law of 1888 is
unconstitutional.
Perhaps Dennis, which Is auditor,
will obey this mandate. Perhaps not.
He may regard the legislature of Min
nesota Of higher authority than is the
legislature Of Ramsey county. Perhaps
he will; being politician, being a can
didate for denomination and reductions
of salaries being popular. But, whether
or no, let the question be tested and
that uneasy spook laid away finally
and for good.
