Senator Davis.
fu1ness.

United States Senator Cushman K
Davis received the votes of the Repub-
licans of the two houses yesterday, and
the joint action of the two bodies today
will fix his title as his own successor
beyond all dispute. Senator Davis has
represented the interests of Minnesota
at the national capital in manner
that has brought nothing but credit
upon the Gopher state. Minnesota
stands high in the national esteem in
consequence. This much Democrats
and Republicans alike will concede,
differ as many of them must from his
views upon some of the national ques-
tions recently thrust upon us.
Senator Davis had no competitor for
the honor in his own party. The only
other name mentioned In connection
with the senatorship was upon the roll
call, when the Populists, Silver Repub-
licans and Democrats voted the empty
honor of a minority nomination to ex-
Congressman Charles A Towne. of Du-
luth. The theory of the Populists for
urging his name, as defined by one of
their number, is that in the event of
the death Of Senator Davis Gov. Lind
would be certain to select the distfn-
guished Duluth gentleman as his sue
cessor.
Long life to Senator Davis.

RosenthaI Concerts Were u Big
Success.

Manager Feldhauser is planning to
sell out the house for the Rosenthal
concert at the Peoples church Feb. 6.
In recent interview James A. Mor-
rissey, who Is managing the RosanthaI
tour, said:
81 have seen crowds assemble on oc-
casions when the sales of seats were
announced for some great star or an
attractive performance, such as the
Adelina Patti musical festival, and the
saengerfest at the Madison Square gar
den, or the open air Shakespearean
festivals in Saratoga, but assure you
that in enthusiastic numbers nothing
that I have ever witnessed in this re-
spect equaled the gathering Of eager
and delighted purchasers on the morn
ing of the sale Of seats for Rosenthal
in San Francisco. The seats were So
each; this very fact seemed to attract
them, and at 9 a. m. fully 1000 people
were in line waiting to exchange their
gold for pasteboard.
when 1 left San Francisco the ad-
vance sale was $9,000 and the indica-
tions were that 900 would be real.z-
ed on the five performances. After
RosenthaFs one recital in Carnegie
hall, on Thursday evening, Jan 26, he
goes to Buffalo, st. Louis, Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis and the Southern

benevolent Assimilation -

One would have to look far to find a
more delicious bit of humor than that
which President Mckinley inserted In
his proclamation to the Filipinos. At
ter stating that the control of all the
public property and the revenue of the
state passes to us, and that the man
agement Of all public means of trans
portation is necessarily reserved to
the authority of the United States" he
says:
Finally. 1t should be the earnest and
paramount aim of the military admin
istration to win the confidence, respect
and affection Of the inhabitants of the
Philippines by proving to them
that the mission of the United States
is one of benevolent assimilation"
The F'ilipinos have been struggling for
years for independence; they welcomed
the aid of America, and now they
are told that their 'deliverers" did not
bring them independence, but "benev-
olent assimilationr' Thus, also, in his
heart. argued the fox. that lesurely
devoured the pullet which he had res
cued from the tyrannous assault of the
tough old rooster. There Is this diff
ference. however. VIZ, that. while the
benevolent assimilation of the pullet
by the fox did not develop any uncom-
Portable consequences. the benevolent
assimilation" of the Philippines by the
United States bids fair to entail
gastronomic difficulties in the body

The central committee of the st. Paul Chris

monthly meeting in the Central Presbyterian
church last evening. Supper was served by
the Endeavorers OF the church to about eighty
delegates. representing twenty six societies
The table talk, What special work Is your
society doing and how?" brought out a
number of new and valuable suggestions. The
reports Of the various departments show in
creasing activity. The programme committee
Is arranging for rally OF all the Endeavorers
of the city on Endeavor day, Feb. 2, which
will be addressed by prominent workers from
out of the city Two societies, Arlington
Hills Presbyterian and Park Congregational
intermediate, recently organized were voted
into membership. The treasurers report
showed a small balance on hand. OF the So

the largest junior numbering ninety three

Winter Term Examinations Come
This Week in All Schools.
The regular winter term examina-
tions will be held in all the graded
schools the latter part of this week
and the beginning of next Thursday
afternoon examinations in music will
be held in all the schools; Friday after
noon, drawing; Monday morning, arith-
metic and geography; Monday after

afternoon reading.
Senator McNamee will introduce a
compulsory text book bill in the legis-
lature within the next ten days. The
free text book system has been adopted
in over half the districts Of the state
and it is generally agreed among ST.
Paul teachers that such a measure
would be desirable for ST. Paul. This
will be Senator McNamee's pet"
measure, as he has been favorable to the
free system since he was a member
of the board Of education, and agreed
when elected that he would bend his
best efforts to secure the adoption of
the law.
The bill before the legislature provid-
ing for state printing of text books is
being generally commented upon by
school people. There is quite a diyi-
sion Of opinion on the subject with the
odds perhaps against the adoption Of
the measure. District option seems
to be popular with the country peda-
gogues.

luton. The resolution in question gives
permission to erect the building in ac-
cordance with plans and specifications
to be submitted to the inspector and
approved by him. 1t is intended there
by that the inspector shall approve the
plans and specifications In connection
with the location. You approved the
plans and specifications. but disap-
proved of Its proposed location. This,
i think. you had authority to do. and
the building in question cannot be
erected until It's proposed location shall
also have been approved by you"
In conclusion. the opinion says that
no provision In the charter or ordi-
nances gives the inspector veto power
over the action of the council in the
case: that he has no arbitrary power;
that he must act IN the matter in a
reasonable and judiciouss manner, and
that the provisions Of the ordinance
are valid.

who read their reports.
The treasurer's report showed that
the union has about $4,000 Of assets,
consisting Of church property.
The report Of the superintendent Of
missions reviewed the work at the
various missions since Oct /, 1898. The
missions at Hazel Park and Gladstone,
while experiencing some difficulties, are
still in a hopeful condition. and, it was
thought, would in a few years be able
together to support a pastor. Forest
street mission has an enrolment of 165,
and an attendance Of 125. This is the
unions largest mission, but it needs a
large room for meetings and more
workers. Brainard avenue mission also
needs more workers, having only one
seventy six members. Como avenue
mission was abandoned last year for
want of Protestant constituency. The
chapel should be moved east half q
mile, where there Is an unsupplied
field Phalen mission has 1T scholars
and is the only mission which has q
full corps Of teachers. Des Meyer mis-
sion has forty-three scholars with &
corps of teachers furnished by St.
NIL ark la in,
need Of a chapel. The great need Of
the mission as a whole is workers The
superintendent has preached at one or
more Of them every Sunday. He has
organized a corps Of seven lay preach
ers, each Of whom Is to conduct one
service monthly. To speed the work,
both as to Sunday schools and preach
at disposal. One thing badly need
ed Is Improvement in the singing at
the services. and money used on this
line would be wisely spent
The nominating committee reported
the following list Of officers for the en-
suing year, and they were elected:
President--J. Watson Smith. Of Ply
mouth church.
Vice President-J. M. Boxell, of Pa
cific church.
Secretary-W. W. Howard. Of Park
church.
Treasurer-George H. Hosmer, Of
Bethany church.
Rev. J. H. Morley, of Minneapolis,
spoke of the advantages Of the small
church or mission to a. community. The
large church, he said. Is a good place
for disturbers who would break UP e.
small one. but the small church de-
velops character because men who are
lost in a. large church and amount to
nothing there are the deacons, trustees
and leaders in the small churches. II
it were not for the small churches In
the outlying districts many Of the peo-
ple living there would never be seen
in the churches at all.
Brief interesting addresses were also
made by Rev. George Soper, of Ply
mouth church: Rev. Alexander Nc
Gregor, of Park church; Rev. j. Alex
ander Jenkins, and DR.. 8. G. Smith.
