DESTROYING RICE PARK.

Aid. Donahower has entered his protest
lowed to establish their stand In front
of Rice park And a proper and timely
protest his is
Thanks to the stupidity of our local Of
hcials these market gardeners, very
worthy body of men. have been driven
from pillar to post for the several
months past. They were at one time
where 1t is now sought to locate them.
and they were driven from there Then
they located along Third street in the
vicinity of the West Publishing CON-
pany's establishment. and they have been
driven, or are about to be driven from
there. Now it is proposed that they shall
return to the vicinity Of Rice park
Very little can be added to what AID
Donahower has said against any such
proposal There is not single reason
why they should be located there; and
there is every reason why they should
not. Rice park is one Of the few beau
tiful spots in the heart of the city. 1t
has been maintained at considerable cost
to the taxpayers. It Is popular as a
pleasure resort among all classes OF peo-
pie during the summer season 1t ad-
joins our leading public building and
fronts on one of our leading thorough
fares. The utmost care Is required to
keep 1t in proper condition as q popular
resort. Its being turned over to the uses
Of the market men must be accepted as
conclusive of tho idea that 1t is not
worthy of being preserved in its present
charming condition.
The proposal on the face Of it is so I'M
reasonable that 1t seems a hardship to be
called on to argue against it. 1t seems on
the face of things to be the one location
of all others which should never have
entered into the minds of our city
authorities for such a purpose. VI Rice
park. why not Summit park, for in
lance? If Fifth street, why not Sixth
or Seventh street? There are hundreds
of locations which can b. determined on
with advantage to the dealers and with
out disadvantage to the market men. Let
some such location be determined on, but
let the city be saved the barbarism of
having public pleasure resort devoted
to such unsuitable uses

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The war de-

American commander has put aside the

foreseen that the rebels needed further
chastisement in order to bring them to

early dispatches from Gen. Otis clearly
defined the general plan of his latest
movement. He Is moving in two main
columns. Maj. Gen. Macarthur pushing
straight forward over nins-mile stretoh

latest rebel stronghold, San Fernando,
and Maj. Gen. Lawton directing a strong
force under Col. Sumner to prevent the
insurgents from retreating from San
Fernando into the mountains to the
north. The later dispatches showed, there
had been hot work In the execution of
this movement, particularly in Gen. Mac,

Whatever may be the ultimate outcome
Of City Attorney Markhams opinion af-
frmirg the unconstitutionallty of the law
passed by the last legislature virtually
repeating the frontage tax, great many
people will wish that his view may be
sustained by the courts. Those who have
followed this matter up with such per-
tinacity in the legislature and elsewhere
will probably not remain content to ac-
cept the city attorneys exposition of the
law The special interests which they
no doubt seek to advance by their contest
against the tax may or may not afford
to have the question tested in the higher
courts. If they propose to take any ac-
ton we hope they will take it promptly.

the city advance have no contest to make

The dedication yesterday of the monu-
ment erected by the state of Georgia to
her citizens who fell at Chickamauga
was an event of deep national interest
and Importance. The ceremonies ending
in the transfer Of the monument to the
government afforded a splendid augury
of the removal of all sectional bitterness
from the minds and hearts of the Ameri-
can people. When one looks back a oom-
paratiVely few years and recalls the eff
forts. too often successful, of a certain
school of politicians to perpetuate the
sectional enmities growing out of the
war, the full significance of yesterdays
proceedings is made plain. A new gen
and the valor of the men of both sections
on the battle fields of the South has be-
come a common national heritage.
There is stiT left. unhappily. the race
division in the South to stir anew from
time to time the almost dead embers of
our great civil strife. But, rightly con-
sidered, the race question is not a matter
of sectional concern 1t is one in the set
Element of which every American citizen,
North and South alike, has deep and
abiding interest All that might be done
to intensity and perpetuate that difficulty
was done by those who for political rea-
sons invested the negroes of the South
with the right of suffrage, or at least
threw such safeguards around it as i'm
posed on the Southern states the griev-
Gus necessity of avoiding the plain intent
of the constitutional amendments. But
even in this direction many of the diff
culties are passing away. The spirit eff
our day is to leave the adjustment of
that question to the Southern people
themselves. The burden is a heavy one
If individuals among the Southern
people adopt from time to time methods

there is much of human charity and for
bearance warranted in our treatment of
them.
dts Is IIlS StuInDunS DOCK In the
path of the complete reconcilement of
the people of the North and South, It's
removal. too, will in time be effected.
Yesterdays events at Chattanooga are the
forerunners of the day when we will all
unite in a just and humane effort to re-
lease the South from the awful incubus
which embitters It's social life and so
seriously retards its progress. 1t is not
of their creation. It was imposed on
them by forces beyond their control and
under circumstances which lift the re-
sponsibiiity for it's origin wholly from
their shoulders. When we have learned
that we are citizens Of common coun-
try; that our destiny Is alike, and that
what is hurtful to one is hurtful to all,
the events of yesterday will find their full
contamination in the well-being of a unit

EPISTLEs. TO ST. PAUL.

While County Auditor johnson was in
Duluth recently he stopped for a few
minutes one afternoon in front OF the
entrance to the Spalding hotel bar. on
Superior street. While meditatiyely
chewing tooth pick and watching the
pedestrians passing on the street, a young
man drove up to the curbstone. in a
light buggy. safI1
Excuse me, SIR" he said, 'but would
you mind holding my horse for
moment while I go inside and get
drink" -e
To have compassion on a thirsty man
has been time-worn maxim with the
auditor. and he readily acquiesced to the
request. In few mom5nts the young
man returned carefully drying his mus
tache on purple-bordered handkerchief,
and, thanking his friend Of the time being,
drove away.
Just at this juncture, three of the audi
tors friends came along, and invited him
to Stake his thirst Going into the bar the
party ordered wet goods Finally the
county official returned the compliment.
He passed out a dollar to pay for it, and
the bartender took it,-and remarked def
erentially:
''Your bill is $1.5O, sir. The young man
who just came in took three drinks on
you, you know. He sad you were friend,
and asked him to drink while you held his
horse"
And in the hour before the st. Paul man
recovered from his daze it cost him a
ragged old ten to appease the mirth of
mis- friends.
Some would-be funny man, who was
either fond Of his little joke, or wanted
to see a crowd gather, placed q torpedo
on the street car track about $3.50 last
evening between Fifth and Sixth streets
on Wabasha. A Grand avenue car drew
the prize, and when it struck Mr.. Torpedo
was elevated several inches from the
track. The lights went out and the pas
sengers were given a jolly little shaking
up, but that was all, and the whole af-
fair didn't consume more than two Sec
onds Of time. though several hundred peo-
pie were attracted to the spot by the
loud report, andcr among them, of course,
a policeman, who came tearing madly
down the street as If he had been sent
for. Some one asked him If he was going
to arrest the car and he wiselyAturned
around and went back to where he came
from, as everyone was in joking mood
and coming to crafty the dull wonder
of vulgar curiosity, remained to guy each
