SAVING PUBIC MONEY.

Our city rulers are of course from time TO
time confronted by situations In which they
have opportunity to show their devotion
to the public welfare. 1t is needless to
say that they always avail themselves of
such occasions, especially when they are
able to do so with the desired publicity,
and to win the public acclaim which
usually attends such performances.
The purchase of coal for the use of our
public schools this year offered such an
opportunity. When first confronted by
the undesirable condition of all the local
dealers uniting in Offering just the same
bids on the contract to supply the coal,
it will be remembered that these officials
who were charged with the duty of MAX
ing the necessary purchases met the ad-
vances of the coal people with loud up
braidings of them as being engaged in
coal combine. There was at once gen
eral discussion precipitated by them as
to the proper course to pursue in order
to bring the coal barons TO their sense.
Indeed somebody had the temerity to sug-
gest that soft coal should be used, for
getting that the use of that commodity,
under our rigorous local code, was liable
to land the offenders in the lookup.
There were many other expedients sug-
gested and 1t was made very plain in
deed that the feelings of our good serv-
of
coming conduct of the local representa-
tives Of the coal barons.
The sequel is instructive. New bids were
ordered. Those bids were opened yester-
day, with the result that they were found
still to be alike. with this important quail
ification: They represented All advance
OF % cents on the ton on every class OF
coal on the bids which had been rejected
with such loud outcries. The coal pur-
chasing committee consists Of the Hon
orabIe the Mayor of ST Paul; the Hon
orabie the President of the Assembly
and the Honorable, the City Treasurer
What did this worthy body of city dig
nitaries do when confronted by the in
creased exactions of the representatives
of the coal barons? They Just simply ac-
cepted The bids. and kept judiciously
ouiet. This, of course, they might have
done in the first instance; but they didn't
No doubt the good Republican electors
of this city are satisfied that the illus
tration Of civic virtue and vexation which
these honorable gentlemen furnished was
cheap at the price Of % cents per ton ad-
ditional They are really entitled to ad-
dftional praise and commentator in that

stance they saved the taxpayers pos
sible addition of rs or perhaps 50 cents
more on the ton.

The five-year franchise was granted evil
IDENTIFY in reliance on the limitations OF
the British negotiators. The five-year
franchise was Miners demand. That it
was rejected by the British representa-
tives speaks poorly for their good faith
in the negotiations, and tends to estab-
fish the Boer contention that the aim of
the British officials is 20 reclaim owner
ship of Boer territory as the result of
the great wealth OF gold that has been
found within it's borders.
The really critical stage in the nego-
tiations is reached. Unless the Beers
make a blunder they have Mr.. Chamber
lain in u box His preparations commit
him to war; while war can now come
on his initiative only in q quarrel in
which he is the aggressor, notwithstand-
ing that he has expressed his desire to
settle ii from the beginning, md has had
it in his power in every stage to secure
a pealeful settlement

FORCING CHAMBERLA1N's HAND.

All the indications for the past twenty
four hours point to the plain purpose of
England to raid the Transvaal The lat
est London dispatches, many of them
positively false in their statements of
facts, aud nearly all of them deliberately
misleading in their conclusions regard
ing the re lative positions of the two coun-
tries in the still pending negotiations,
are all of the same tenor. Yet, it is
hard 10 understand how England can
dare, in the face of the civilized world
to force on the contest, In view of the
position which her ministers now occupy
in those negotiations
Sir William Harcourt has we'll said
that with both parties taking new de-
parture, there can be no obstacle to an
amcable solution. That new departure
is fairly outlined by Mr. Chamberlain
latest Dispatch unless that document is
to be regarded as a new trap to catch
the wary Kruger.
Let US sketch briefly the present posi-
ton of the controversy, as it presents
itself to the average American observer:
The question of suzerainty has been in
troduced into the problem by Mr.. Cham
berIain, according to Sir Vernon Har-
court. Whether by Chamberlain or Kru-
ger, the question is there; and it ap-
pears to be the main proposition on
which Mr.. Chamberlain would be COM
PEELED to rest today if called on to JUS
tify the massing of British troops in
South Africa. But that suzerainty uues-
ton is really a very simple one The
Transyaal people have sovereign rights
as a nation, subject to the veto of the
imperial government. Whether England
ought 10 have that right of veto or
whether it is OF any value to her, is out
Of the question just now. She has 1t,
and apparently has no thought of re-
linquishing it. The real point at issue.
according to all that Mr.. Chamberlain
has said up to his recent dispatch, is the
question Of suffrage. That Is and always
has been the pith of the British COM
paint ne IrdLSVaal offered the five
year franchise. Since the proposals
which embodied that offer were rejected
by Mr.. Chamberlain and that official
doubled back on his trail at an early
stage OF the negotiations, the Transvaal
withdrew that proposal and substituted
the seven-year plan.
Now there is 10 essential difference
between these two proposals of seven
and five-year franchise, since it is
understood that each is retroactive 1t is
plain that Sir Conyngham Greene, as
well as Miner, looked upon the negotia-
tons as likely to result in assuring
substantial advance toward independent
sovereign rights by the Boer republic,
provided the necessary liberaltty was

unexpected happens, combination of low
barometer marking the storm center and
the high barometer directly following it

particularly on Lake Superior Special
dispatches were ordered by the weather
bureau for this afternoon so serious were
the conditions indicated by The early
morning report.
According to the reports received at the
local government observatory the con-
tinued cool weather brought on unusually
heavy frosts for this season of the year,
the past three nights. It is believed,
however, that the crops are far enough
advanced to be out of danger, and no i'll
effects are feared. Frosts have been gen.
eral throughout Iowa, Missouri, Northern
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Kansas.

been below normal, and yesterday it was

NEW TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.
VIII Be known as Young Peoples
Christian Temperance Union.

CHICAGO, Sept IA new temperance
society. the Young Peoples Christian
rTen7perauca Ur:;on came into being today
in Willard hall. 1t had a somewhat anar-
chratic birth The delegate from Mis-
souri,, William Kreeme, of Kansas City,
advocated the use of dynamite in spread
ing the temperance doctrines by blowing
,In distilleries and breweries, declaring
that violence would furnish the only
mans by which the new society could
accomplish its purpose
The other delegates did rot agree with
tho opi,lion OF the delegate from Mis-
souri,, and there were decided declara-
lions against the proposition.
The new society came into being full
fedged Committees on constitution and
rules were appointed formally, but in
reality they had been in existence and
kad their work completed before the con-
vention assembled.
The constitution pledges the newly
formed society to the project Of securing
1000 900 voters for the Prohibition party
and of collecting $1,000, coo, or more, if
necessary, to save the Woman's Temple
In these two respects it is diverged from

WHICH is RIGHT.

While the American people are en-
Gagged in their grand demonstration In
honor of Admiral Dewey, and the CIVIL
lied world, including SPAIN recognizes
the appropriateness Of the testimonial be-
slowed it is worth while to direct special
attention to the comments of leading
journal of London, England, on the event.
The journal in question IS the st. James
Gazette. What it says is to be COM
mended, at least to the extent that no
effort whatever is made to conceal the
ugly sheer at us which it contains.
whatever the (American) nation,
which is totally upaccustomed to naval
victories over an alien race says the Ga
zette, may think of the battle of Manila,
the admiral who directed these very bus
iness-like and thorough operations can
have no Illusion as to the caliber Of the
foe who was unable to prevent him from
taking an overwhelming advantage. The
New Workers We're caught unprepared, as
were the Spaniards at Cavite Admiral
Dewey is a smart officer"
Now, this is speech by inuendo.
Inuendo No. /: The Spaniards were taken
unprepared and at a tremendous disad-
vantage at Cavite, or else they might
not have been beaten, as Admiral Dewey
we'll knows Inuendo No 2: Americans
are utterly unused to winning naval vic
tories over alien races (unltke US, the
British, who have whipped everything
alien in creation on the high seas), ana
therefore they proceed TO make a hugo
laughing stock of themselves In celebrat-
ing, as they are doing in New York,
naval victory which was no victory at all.
Inuendo No 3: Dewey is "smart," but
nothing more.
Either the blooming Cockney editor is
ignorant of certain performances of
American seamen in the war against
England for American independence, and
in the war of 1912 to make that independ-
ence more secure, or else he is a true
vGtary of the Anglo-Saxon fad, and re-
fuses to admit that the British and Amer
lean are alien races. Or, may it not be
that we Americans are all wrong about
our winning naval victories over Eng
land in the wars mentioned, and that only
the Cockney editor aforesaid knows
American ard British naval history?
