true that both the superintendent and
assistant superintendent were off at
different political conventions at the

latter anyway will be discharged.

COURT OF CANCELLATION.
Appointment OF Such a BODY Is
RecOmme ended.


To the Editor of the Globe:
We beg leave to call the attention OF
the pubic to a few suggestions which we
believe would interest The fair thinking
people among all classes OF our cltlZens:
Last September Bishop Potter delivered
a very able address on a Sunday after
noon at the Peoples church TO large
audience, which gathered to hear his
views on the great question of labor and
capital
The bishop made some practical sugges-
tions as to how the working people and
their employers could be brought to a
better understanding Of each others in
In line with one of his suggestions there
came about the appointment of a commit
tee of fourteen, seven of which were
from the Ministers association and others
from the Trades and Labor assembly, to
arrange a series of Sunday meetings, at
which social and economic questions OF
interest to the American people were TO
be discussed.
These meetings were held during the
past winter months and we believe they
were successful in accomplishing the pur-
pose for which they were held. Now that
the winter season is over and these meet
ings have been brought to q close, It oc-
ours to US that one more of the bishop 3
suggestions should be put into practical
operation; namely, the appointment Of a
conciliatory committee for the purpose
of endeavoring to settle disputes between
employer and employe, and thereby save
labor and capital, II possible, from en-
gaging in protracted and injurious strug-
giles, such as we see at the present time
in many parts of the country.
With such committee there can come
no harm to either side TO a controversy,
and there appears to be at least a reason
able belief that much good would re-
suit to both, and the general public
would have one forum at least to which
they could look for an impartial EXPIRES
sion as to the claims in dispute.
We suggest:
First-That conciliatory committee Of
eleven be chosen.
Second-That the Manufacturers asso-
citation select three of such committee.
Third-That the Trades and Labor as
sembly select three Of such committee.
Fourth-That the other five members be
selected from representative citizens OF
st. Paul, who are not likely to be per-
sonally or financially interested IN any
such disputes and who are not partisans
to either side.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applicatians as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the. ear.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-.
dition of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachfan Tube. When thisStub is inf1am-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be DESTROYED forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
uon of the mucous surfaces.

Everything points to a large and bril-

formance of next wednesday evening, for
not only are the seats selling rapidly,
but most of the boxes are already be-

advance. Reserved seats will be on sale

Yacht club tickets are offered by all
the members of the club to their friends
for the consideration of one simoleon, and
the invitation is generally accepted and
the treasury wakes stronger every day.
1t was proposed to introduce a society

performance, but while the suggestion
was good one it came too late, and so
the idea had TO be given up.
