but this has been overcome by the con-

Nearly all of the grading from Wildwood

the st. Paul end of the line the track
layers have followed the graders, so that
almost simultaneously with the compile

BURGLARY AS A PAsrItE.

Judging by the known operations of inc
members of the burglars craft. that
risksome occupation has become some
what in the nature of pastime in ST
Paul, especially within the limits of the
Rondo precinct.
1t stands as a stock explanation Of
police inefficiency in this city that the
supply of guardians of the peace is
somewhat limited. How grievously limit
ed it is was never brought home SO
strikiagly to the public understanding be-
fore Tuesday night With burglaries
fairly raining down on the denizens of
the Eighth ward; with burglars tumb-
ling down cellar steps, and being chased
away by neighboring watch Gogs, only to
return later to tear off inoffensfve win
dow screens and generally to disport
themselves to the disturbance of the
slumbers of neighboring citizens, 1t was
found possible as a last resort to secure
the services Of police officer That
worthy and sagacfous official, as the
story goes, armed himself with a pencil

that Eve are short-handed in officers to-

Talk about the immortal watch Of
whose operations were begotten the pro-
found judicial utterances of Dogberry Of
old! Why, they couldn't. hold lantern
to the alert and nimble-footed peace pro-
tectors of the Rondo street station in St
Paul.
Any prentice hand in the art of burg
lariously and feloniously breaking and
entering peoples premises who is in need
of experience in his art might be safely
commended to st. Paul. Here he will be
assured of immunity. unless that III a
moment of undue citation at his progress
in the calling he should be guilty of the
indiscretion of calling at one of our local
police stations, and inquiring the in
dividual opinion of the officer in charge
as to the professional excellence Of some
one or more Of his operations.
When the two enterprlsing chief heads
Of the st. Paul police force are entirely
free from the exacting duties which per-
tain to conducting the Railway En-
ployes' Political league. or to supervising
the operations of the business hen, they
or either of them may feel called on at
least to see that no burglars training
school shall be successfully established
and operated in this community.

TRAVELLERS AND TRUSTS.

If, as the news columns of the G o b g
have Indicated the commercial travellers
of the Northwest have engaged seriously
in the work of breaking down the opera
tioHs of the trusts, it is not an extrava-
gance to declare ina: the general public
is quite certain to be substantially bene-
fitted by the operation.
There is no class in this or any other
community which has it in its power to
affect the progress of events in CONNER
cial or Industrial life more seriously than
have the commercial travellers. Their
opinions are regarded as possessing m
usual weight on all matters which Der-
tain to business policy and to political
and economic events in their bearing on
the operations of business life. 1t was
owing to their influence that the public
was first aroused to the enormities of
the Mckinley tariff; and the effect of their
freely expressed opinions on that subject
at that time was to send a Democratic
congress to Washington.
1t is declared, Furthermore, that the
business men, hotel proprietors and mer-
chants generally are in deep sympathy
with the movement and can be relied on
to cooperate with the travelling men.
With such conditions realized a great
and essential step will have been taken
in the conduct of the warfare upon trusts
which has now become inevitable. There
can be no better agency devised for the
creation of the necessary public senti-
ment, which will be found to be the es-
sential weapon with which this battle
is to be fought. No mere declaration Of
courts or legislatures, or of administra-
tive officers; no mere exposition of party
policy, as embodied in political platforms,
will be effective in Kidding the business

WHY DID sANDELL VOTE.


The voting population Of st. Paul have
positive interest in knowing just what
the present relations are between Mayor
Kiefer and Mr.. Sandell, of the board of
public works. Their interest Is quite nat
ural They have witnessed certain strange
circumstances attending those relations
In the past. On one occasion, only few
weeks ago, Mayor Kiefer stated publicly
dell to hribe him into a promise of reap
pointment of SandeIl. On that occasion
Mayor Kiefer declared that he would
have nothing further to do with SandeI
This he said with especial reference to
his own efforts to secure the appointment
of the present city engineer. Sandell's
vote was necessary to that appointment.
When Sandell called on the mayor with
a view to giving his vote to Claussen,
Mayor Kiefer refused to do business with
him because of his attempted bribery.
Mr.. Sandell in this connection within a
few days, with the result that CIaussen
is now city engineer by force of Sandeu's
vote.
1t is a pardonable interest which the
community has in seeking to learn how
and why SandeIPs vote was cast for
ClaUssen. The explanation thus far Of
fered is, as the G 0 b has already sug-
gested, too crystalline in it's transpar-
ency to be capable of deceivirg anybody.
Well informed Republicans insist that
that story was made current by Sandell
in order to cover up the truth. They
add that he voted for Claussen because
he secured Mayor Kiefer's promise of re-
appointment. He was pledged to certain
of his associates not to vote for CIaussen.
He violated that pledge. He is generally
known to be Il shrewd and selfish polite
rect view to the gain that is to ensue to
himself. 1t is impossible, accordingly.
that he should have set himself at vari-
aDce with his friends without hay
W.
what was that end? Mayor Kiefer knows.
Will Mayor Kiefer tell?
II Sandell was willing to vote for Claus
sen month ago on the basis of a reap
pointment, and willing, moreover, to pay
$5p0 for the privilege of doing so, he may
be assumed to have remained willing to
cast his vote on the consideration of
promise of reappointment without the ad-
dltional burden which gave such offense
to the mayor. 1t is, moreover, natural
that, being anxious to traffic his vote for
a promise of reappointment, he would be
unwilling to violate mis- pledges to others
without that or some other equivalent.
He is no sentimentalist
The question then recurs, what consid-
GRAFTON was it that Mayor Kiefer bestow-
ed on Mr.. Sandell which caused him to
violate his pledges to his friends in his
own party by voting for Mayor Kiefer's
man, Claussen? The answer to this in
quiry has deep contemporary interest.
VIII Mayor Kiefer furnish it? If not,
the G o b will look elsewhere. But the
facts will be made known whether the
mayor furnishes the information or does
not.

EIihu Root Won't Do.

New York World
If the war department is In need of a
very able corporation lawyer, a defender
and organizer of trusts, then the appoint
ment of Mr.. Root is admirable, ideal ;"
If man fit to direct war affairs is need
ed, then the selection IS a bad one.
Mr.. Root is just as unfit for the place
as Alger was. though his unfitness is
different In kind. The man wanted at
this critical Juncture at the head of the
war department Is a great administrator
or a man familiar with military affairs
and requirements, or, better still, man
who combines both these qualifications.
The appointment of Elihu Root is g.
conspicuously unwise one, made for per-
sonal and political, not for military or

Working Glasses In Havana In n
Bad Condition = That City Was

HAVANA, July 26-In an interview
with Gen. Gomez, printed in La Iucha.
the cuban commander is quoted as say
ing:
Never has plague had more effect
on Cuba than the $1,000, 900 asked of Pres
ldent Mckinley. The money is the cause
OF division among those who by right and
justice should be united. The history of
the money IS curious. In the first plaza

was dishonor to the Cubans. The as
pect is changed now and it should cause
pain to see wandering through Havana
soldiers begging for what 1t was sun
posed they would refuse with serenity.
The formation of the supplementary
lists of persons incapacitated in the war
and the work of payment has already
cost $4,000. This money was furnished by
possess the grounds on which they tread.
those who do not know the work and the
expose involved are naturally impatient,
and hold responsible some one who In no
way helped to get the money nor asked
any one to receive it. Those Whosa
names appear Gu the supplementary lists
should not be paid before those who ara
on the original lists, so as to preserve
order.
AS the money was the gift of the
American government I am panied by the
interest shown by my soldiers who were
trained to go hungry on their march to
liberty. The republic will pay them, but
when is uncertain. Impatience will not
further matters"
Ell Dlario de la Marina says editoriaIIy
In today's issue that the working classes
in Havana are in very bad condition, the
cost of living in the city is high, owing
to the extravagant tendencies of the
upper classes having raised prices. The
upper classes have been able to get
money easily, the paper says, on account
of the natural richness of the Cuban soil,
but the necessities of life, including the
securing of cheap, comfortable houses
are out Of reach of the people who
therefore are forced to live under bad
unhealthful conditions, although they are
fairly well paid Continuing the article
says:
Havana City was built for rich peo-
pie, and reforms should be inaugurated,
modelled upon the American plan Of
building clean, cheap houses for the
working people, with the prospect that
they may become the owners of the same
by paying a small premium, thus en-
couraging thrift and self-hope. Tho
Cubans thus far have not shown any
private initiative. but if the American
really wish the country to prosper, with
some guarantee of an effort on their
part, the Cubans will step forward and
support the measure.
Senior Bacardi, mayor of Santiago, has
forwarded to Gov Gen. Brooke his resig-
nation of the mayoralty, asking that It

of the department of Santiago and tho
