question. The common council and the
mayor have declared that they shall be
so used. Their order is imperative at
least in its binding effect on every Of
fetal of the city. Any private citizen
may test tho validity of the action
taken. No public official whatever has
any option, consistently with his oath of

to carry it's provisions into operation.
But the city comptroller is no mere or
binary city official. He is the grand
Pooh Bah of the entire system. He has
been so constituted by his associate Re-
publican politicians engaged in conduct
ing our affairs. Like the genii of old
he has now escaped from the official
bottle in which he was understood to
of his liberators
The ingenious attempt of School In
spector Mcdonald to palliate McCardy's
contemptuous treatment of his official CO.
ordinates and superiors by declaring that
McCardy's predecessor was another Of
fetal autocrat of the same type is too
fiimsy to impose on even its author. Mr..
Mcdonald is altogether too familiar with
local political history to believe any such
fairy story himself When Mr.. Roche
was ordered by proper authority to dis
charge a certain official act he dis
charged it, and neither he nor any one
else believed for a moment that he was
big enough to set the authority Of the
government of which he was part at
defiance. 1t has been reserved for the
presumptuous and ill-mannered martinez
who now keeps the city books to take
such a position.
1t is with the G 10 b e a mere matter
of curious interest to observe how the
legislative and executive authority of the
government of the city Of ST. Paul, as rep
resented by our mayor and the common
council. will choose to treat McCardy' $
contempt for them and their ordinances.

CARNIVAL PLANS PROGRESS

At meeting of the directors Of the
Carnival association to be held this after
noon at 4 O'clock final plans for the ice
palace, stockade, slides, Kinks and ice
features, together with a very gorgeous
plan of proposed Illumination, will be
submitted by the committee on principal
feature and location The committee,
consisting of Dow S. Smith, Architect A.
H. Stem and c. B. Bowlby, visited Rice
park, and all details of the plan sub
mitted by Mr.. Stem were agreed upon
and only await ratification by the board
OF directors. The committee will recon-
mend the Smith park site.
The city will be asked to grant the as
ISOLATION the use Of Wacouta street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth, and Sixth street,
between Wacouta and Broadway The
palace will be built on Wacouta street,
between Fifth and Sixth, facing the park,
and around the square wall of ice will
be built, on the edge of the sidewalk,
providing the necessary concessions are
obtained from the city.
The Illumination is promised to eclipse
the old Third street illumination that
was so popular for number of seasons.
Perhaps the greatest feature Of the plan
outside of the palace itself will be the
illumination from st, Peter street to
Broadway, on Sixth, which, will be set
with columns OF iee.s Around these pillars
of crystal will be strung electric light
bulbs of varied hues.
Within the palace wall, which inciden-
tally will be made to resemble as closely
as possible the ancient parapets Of legen-
Diary castles; wills be teboggan slides,
curling, skating and hockey Kinks
The committee visited Rice park last
night, but finally decided that Smith park
was the most feasible location.

GOV. LIND.

The Republican papers of the state ap-
pear to be extremely jubilant over the
supposed determination of Gov Lind not
to be a candidate for reelection. And
while the Glob e cannot claim to be
in the confidence of Gov. Lind in this
matter, 1t is a matter of no surprise that
he has at least declared his independ-
ence of the ward politicians Of the large
cities in the manner in which he has
done.
No sooner was the Republican rule
which had continued in this state for
forty years broken by the candidacy
of Gov Lind and through the efforts of
his supporters than a coterie of very
small minded though wo1ild-be political
leaders commenced to carp at his admin
istration and to make ominous threats
as to what would become of him at the
next election. Every pubic occasion was
seized by this class to force themselves
into publicity, and the antics of the Min

days ago in childish contest as TO which
faction should have the credit of o. ganiz-
ing the mass meeting TO be held at Min
neapolis on the 10Th, at which Mr.. Bryan

absurdty of their conduct, ard to bring
them to some sense of the fitness of
things. His advice was disregarded, ami

GRATITUDE TO HANNA.

Politics is often a most ungrateful pur-
suit. Men have been known to devote
their lives to the public well-being
through its agency and go to their
graves without any but the slightest ac-
cepted recognition of. their devotion.
There is a class of men whose adapt
ability for political operations does not
admit of their having such experience.
They are the practical men Of the world,
the men who know their way to the
heart of the individual and public alike
through other channels than those OF
mutual love and esteem.
The Hon. Marcus Aurelius Hanna is
one of these gifted personages. He has
accomplished unique success in politics.
He spraHg up in a night, so to speak
and while the shades of darkness still
prevailed he was able to win for HIM
self an overpowering fame.
How fittingly this is recognized Is al
| most pathetically established in our tele-
graphic news dispatches announcing that
| Senator Hanna has not only been chosen
| to preside over the operations of the
next national committee of his party;
bat that he will, moreover, be made
temporary and permanent chairman OF
the national convention of the imperial
lists next summer. This of itself is very
touching expression of the love in which
Senator Hanna is held for his exceptional
qualities; but when 1t is the direct re-
suit Of the admiring intervention Of the
very incarnation of Christian citizenship,
it takes the form of public adulation.
And well does Senator Hanna deserve
the adulatien thus bestowed on him. He
has wrought wondrous things. through
the agency alone of moral suasion. or
course 1t has happened that the charge
of bribery has been made against this
glorious product Of modern imperialist
politics, but no such ignoble methods can
be successfully imputed to a man who
has shown the possession of veritable
genius for higher things In public life.
+ 1t is emirently fitting that President
Mckinley should thus attest his admira-
ton of the qualities which have won for
Mr. Senator Hanna his surprising emil
hence in political life. In all our poiitf-
cal history no other man can be said to
have jumped to the very pinnacle Of
craftsmanship in anything like the same
time Even the precocious genius Of
other great statesmen like Henry Clay
or Roscoe Conkling never enabled them
to acquire such eminence But the genius
Of Marcus Aurelius Hanna is of a diff
ferent type, manifests itself in ways en-
tirely different and flttingly enough Sc
cures the unreserved expression of the
admiration of it's chief beneficiary.
President Mckinley Is a man of rare
discernment.

WHAT WILL THE MAYOR DO,


1t is imposed on the mayor Of st.
Paul under our existing city charter, as
his principal duty, to see that the laws
and ordinances relating to the city gov
eminent are enforced. Within the past
few days the city council adopted and the
mayor approved a certain resolution d.
recting the city comptroller to transfer
certain moneys from the city insurance
fund for the maintenance of which there
IS no further warrant since the city
no longer insures its real estate. to the
school fund. That resolution now pos
sesses all the significance of a municipal
law. The city comptroller refuses point
blank to regard the resolution as of any
binding effect whatever upon him.
This condition of affairs Is as unusual
as 1t is instructive. Both the executive
and legislative departments of our city
government for few years past have
united In setting the city comptroller on
pedestai Of authority and impeccability
from which they cannot now dislodxe
him, however much they may wish to do

recently pointed out that that insurance
fund has no further public significance.
He has even condescended to transfer
certain moneys represented by 1t to the
use of our schools provided these moneys
should be used as he directs Neither
the city council nor our mayor chose to
regard his directions, with the result
that, when they take such action with ret
erence to these moneys as seems to them
proper, the city comptroller treats their
legislation with quiet and digni1ed con-
tempt
The city attorney has at least indi-
Gated his opinion that the moneys in
question can be used in the manner in
