Doubtless Mayor Ktefer will derive some
measure of consolation from the fact
that his policy toward the saloons has re-
cehed the censure of his brethren of the
Central Prohibition club. 1t may afford
him encouragement in the belief that the
prestige which he is steadily losing in
many directions may be compensated for
at least in one other direction.
1: is notable that Mayor Kiefer's prohi-
bition critics as usual harp on the single
string. His famous midnight closing
order. as well as his equally famous wine-
room closing order may have been issued
with view to stirring up the prohibition
brethren. The fact that he never made
an" serious effort to enforce them, and
that not even the most careless observer
Is deceived in regard to them, goes some
length at least to sustain this assumption.
The wine rooms are wide open, wider,
If possible, than they were before the
issuance of his order. So, too, with the
gambling houses. Gambling is, if any
thing. more general and unconcealed than
It was before his famous raid on Third
street. or before his police officials made
him an object Of fun and contempt by
declaring that he rented one of his houses
for gambling.
OF course the prohibitionists are en-
tire'y justified in asking why the mayor
Should enforce his orders so valorously
against the business men and let them die
Of hamilton in the case of the saloon
keepers, although the matter is far from
possessing the Importance which these
gentlemen attach to It, They appear
to forget that the mayor has pulled
himself up with very sudden jerk
on the sidewalk business 1t is quite evil
IDENTIFY all a game of politics, although too
deep for the average wayfarer to fathom
The sublime Indifference Of our city
administration to the public demands is
not confined to the saloons 1t extends
along the entire line of official duty. Had
We a man in the mayors chair who was
not the creature of political expedency,
as Mayor Ktefer is, we would at least
have the criminal laws enforced. We
would have a police force willing and able
to enforce them. which we have not to-
da.-. The city would not be overrun by
thugs and burglars, and there would be
no premium maintained, as there is, on
the activity of abandoned women. We
would no longer be a mere side show for
Minneapolis where while the same con-
dittons exist, they are willing to reap
the gain as well as the i'll fame attaching
to them.
The officeholders have wrought chaos
herr in St Paul. The laundering and
false pretenses which our distinguished
mayor has resorted to are after all
trifing when compared with the results
produced by other departments of the
machine. If the people Of st. Paul are
willing to adopt the offlceholders' advice
and allow things to drift, then 1t certainly
appears to us that nothing short of the
direct intervention of Providence will
suffice TO save us all.

ment of his reason for so believing Is
absurd. AS Archbishop Chappelle points
out, the Spanish friars are at present
prisoners of the insurgents to the num-
Der of 15O This being so, how can Gen.
Funston claim that the inhabitants OF
Luzon are completely under the church.
Palpably, he includes the men under
arms among the inhabitants Of Luzon.
Has any cause ever been assigned by
any representative Of the Filipino in
surgents for their present attitude to-
ward the United States than the one OF
our refusal to grant them complete inde-
pendence? Does Gen. Funston desire Il
to be understood that the Filipino idea OF
independence is confined to the desire to
drive the friars from the island and con-
fscate the property of the church? If
he does what then becomes of his state
ment that the inhabitants Of Luzon are
completely under the churchJ and If he
does not desire to be so understood. how
can he so dogmatically declare that all
Ine u lIlpiloS WANT Is the cHdHc6 10
capture church property and drive out
the friars?
1.-THE bottom would drop out Of the in
surreetion." That is the language. The
bottom could only drop out in one or two
ways. Either by Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers being beaten, or by their involun-
tarily laying down their arms. Which Of
these ways would be realized in Gen.
Funsten's Judgment should the United
States consent to drive out the friars and
confiscate church property? Would the
insurgents be beaten as a consequence?
II that is the way the bottom is to drop
out, then Gen. Funston must be regarded
as insisting that it is the church and the
friars whose influence alone sustains the
present Instruction. Why then should
the insurgents be anxious to drive out
their chief supporters and confiscate their
property?
If, the other hand, Gen. Funston
means that the insurgents would volun-
tariy lay down their arms If the friars
were driven out and church property con-
dscated what assurance has he Of that
result. and how can he reconcile it with
the declaration that they will only do so
when their independence Is recognized?
The more virulent and unrea soning of
the imperialists seem to regard this i'm
puted statement of Funstons as some
thing extremely embarrassing to the OPP
ponents of Imperialism. It is not only
embarrassing; it is false and foolish on
it's face. And unless Funston shall here
after repudfate it, it will be plain to the
bulk of reasoning people that Funston IS
no bigger or broader a man intellectually
than he is physically.

j. e. Johnson
INF. Johnson is to some extent correct
IN his contention. The reports of the
war In South Africa are all from pro-
British sources, and doubtless strongly
colored in favor Of the queens soldiers.
NO American newspaper, however, can
prevent this. The telegraph lines in
the section at war are owned or con-
trolled by Great Britain, and all dis
patches are either directly from British
sources or censored by British officers.
The dispatches from Ladysmith, Glencoe
ana dundee are not as truthful as they
ought to be, but they are probably quite
as truthful as those which are daily com
ing to US from Manila. The censored
dlspatch ought to go. The newspaper

The School House improvements.

The addition to the school house is
complete In most particulars. The
lower room is ready for occupancy.
The furnace is.being placed and the
seats will be transferred from the
basement room, occupied by the Pri-
mary Grade, on Saturday and Miss
Andrus will install her charge in the
new room Monday. The room is on
the north side OF the building but
is amply lighted. 1t has great deal
of blackboard surface, the blackboard
extending nearly around the room.
The second story Is also finished, but
its use is not contemplated for the
present. The third story also has a
good room, finished except as to the
second floor which is not yet laid, and
the black boards are not placed.
Otherwise the room is completed.
This will make a fairly good school
room when it shall be needed. Its
adaptability for such use is very much
better than the basement room occu-
pied for several years by the Primary
Grade. The only disadvantage it pre-
sents is the additional exertion in
getting up the two flights Of stairs.
With the three rooms in this new an
mex the city is we'll provided with
school room facilities with a consider
ably enlarged population. An cyl
dence of the city's healthy growth is
seen in the rapid increase in the
school population. There are nearly
fifty more pupils in attendance this
fall than ever before, a number suffi
cient to fill another room.
The new addition does not detTact
as much from the symmetry of the
building as was feared. It is the best
| that could be done. The annex is a
well built structure-has good, solid
foundations, solid brick wall
throughout, good roof Of cedar
shingles, the rooms finished with good
material and all the work we'll done.
And while the rooms are so situated
that the direct rays of the sun will
! seldom enter, this absence Of sunlight
has its compensation. Southside
rooms are light and pleasant but the
direct rays into the rooms are trying
and damaging to the sight. North
side rooms will have more of uni
| formity Of light and complete abb
sence from glare. A new arrange
ment of seats in the rooms on the
south side is contemplated to modify
the effects of the direct sunshine,
seating the pupils so that the bright
ness will not strike them in the face.
| The sewers have been completed for
the basement toilets but there have
been some bitches in completing the
service which will now be remedied
and this object will soon be attained.

| porium.

"Nianara Falls. 2


Last Monday evening it was ouI
privilege to listen to the very inter
esting and instructive lecture Of Rev
Mr.. Mcintosh on Niagara" 1t was
known that Mr.. Mcintosh had thor
oughly studied that region during the
past summer and people knew the lee
ture would be good, but 1t surpassed
the highest expectations of all.
The lecturer gave vivid word-pic-
lures Of the many attractive features
of Niagara, dwelling upon the history
and legend with which the locality is
associated. In the course of his lee
ture he quoted many Of the good
things literary visitors, like Haw-
thorne, have said about the Niagara
region, gave expression to the impress
sions made upon himself and others
when visiting the various points OF
most especial interest. The lecture
would have been attractive without
the aid of the lantern, but TO have
every point illustrated with excellent
pictures made it doubly pleasing.
Some of the views, especially those Of
winter scenery, surpass anything in
this line we had ever seen. The
only criticism we heard was that a
longer view ofthe pictures was desired
to more thoroughly appreciate their
merits.
Mr.. McIntosh's audience were i'm
pressed with the conviction that he
had caught The Inspiration Of this
grandest Of landscape scenery in the
world. Even to those who were fam
iliar with the world-renowned Falls
and its picturesque environments
this lecture was revelation, and con-
yeyed impressions Of enhanced apprec-
iation.
