rather than of any individual or number
of individuals who are charged with no
PUBLIC responsibility whatever.
TE present school board Is a fairly
representative body. The Clio b e be-
lieves that it tries conscientiously to dis
charge its official duties to the greatest
possible advantage of the people. 1t is
quite capable of doing so, if it is let
alone. The great evil attending the
conduct of our public schools here and
elsewhere has ever been the schemes of
outsiders who have had axes to grind.
The school board of st. Paul has shown
a disposition to put an end to all AK
grinding schemes in connection with
Supt Smiths resignation 1t is to be
hoped that it will continue to show the
same disposition in the future, and that
It will take all the consequences itself,
as it has all the responsibility, for the ap-
pointment of Supt Smiths successor.

WHAT WILL THEY no.

The common council! IL dcferring until
tonight action on the Manhattan fran
chise transa ctions has shown either that
it IS not wholly defiant of public senti-
ment or that it believes that delay will
in some way mitigate the consequences
of its action when taken.
Certain amendments to the Manhattan
franchise have been suggested which will
greatly mitigate the erormity of the
transa ction. These amendments ought to
have been adopted promptly or not at all.
If it is the purpose Of the members of
the council who have thus far backed
the Mania ttan concern In its aggressive
assertion of its interests to carry out
the undertaking in all = original naked
ness. they should do so without further
delay. If valuable easement in 600
miles of street was in all conscience
disposable without a penny Of compensa-
tion week ago, it certainly has not ad-
vanced in value srr-~e, and the right Of
its beneficiary to get a valuable public
privilege without money and without
price has been in the interval in nowise
lessened.
Now, what is 1t the council intends to
do? The public is Interested in knowing.
1t has thus far stood up and brazened its
way through Will it continue to pursue
that course? VIII it smash Mayor 1l!ef-
er's later veto as it did his earlier one?
Or will 1t keep up the stupid pretense
of securing competition in public lighting
through It's extraordinary action?
1t has an opportunity to back out of
the very discreditable, if not dishonorable
position in which the majority Of its
members have placed themselves in this
affair. The people of the city have vir-
tually already exhausted every means
within their reach to protect themselves
against their own pubic servants. 1t
will probably not be possible for them
to defend themselves further The action
of the council tonight will determine
whether these of its members who have
fathered this enormous transaction are
dead alike to all sense of shame and
fear The hour of possible repentance
has arrived The way of salvation is
often through repentance. Even a death
bed repentance is effective. The people
of ST. Paul are deeply interested in learn
ing, as they will this evening, whether
their representatives in the council will
choose to die in sin or avail themselves
of the chance Of salvation which is still
left to them.

EDUCATIONAL PLoTTINGs.

Enough IS now known of the circum-
stances attending the resignation of the
superintendent of the city schools to
make it plain that that resignation was
more or less directly influenced by the
existence of certain cabals formed and
operated to affect the administration of
the schools and the personnel of the
teaching staff. The G l o b e regrets this
state of affairs. 1t is utterly at war
with the good of the schools 1t repre
sents a spirit and disposition which have
worked great and continued wrong to
our educational interests in the past.
1t was believed that the events Of the
past had left sufficient impression on all
connected with the schools or interested
in their welfare to save the public from
anything like a repetition of former ex-
perlences.
The Gl nbe expressed its regret at
the withdrawal of Supt Smith. 1t did
SO in all sincerity. 1t thought, and
still thinks, that the schools have suf:
'NtNN q SiiSNruS loss IN his departure.
1t would be a good thing for the schools
If he could be induced to cancel his res
ignation, first, because he is capable
and conscientious educator; and secondly.
because it would bring to an end the
small plottings in which his resignation
seems to have had its birth and which
have as their purpose the introduction of
some individual as superintendent of
whom the people of ST. Paul will know
nothing whatever and who will in all
probability be the representative of the
schemes of those who are playing mar
plot in this transaction to the disadvan-
tage OF the schools.
No matter who is behind the undertake
ing to control school administration from
outside sources it IS demanded of the
school board that it shall bring 10 an
end all such schemes by making It verv
plain that as the body charged with the
work Of administering the schools t can
do so. and will insist on doing so. ac-

KNIGHTSOF MYSTIC SEVEN

The first grand commandery of the or

terday. Three hundred delegates and
members of the organization met at the
state capitol and organized the com

the subordinate degree limitations to be
held in the evening. The delegates in

DIR nITY 10 CURA.

1t Is not easy to withhold entire all
admiration for such men Senator
Spooner in their efforts to minimize the
shocking significance of the frauds which
have been uncovered in the Havana
postofTice. They are fighting an uneven
battle and they fight as administration
soldiery, prepared to defend any posi-
ton, however assailable, in which their
leaders may place them.
Ali the appeals to sentiment in the
world will not avail these men. The
Cuban affair has long since sunk below
the domain of sentiment 1t is now a
matter of hard political fact. The Amer1.
can people, as well as the Cuban, are
saying to themselves that if such things
are to cnsue at the very outset OF our
experience in trying to run the political
affairs of other races, the future holds
a very uninviting prospect before US.
After all, it does not appear that the
time has come, as so many Democrats
seem to think, to demand the withdrawal
of our forces from Cuba. The with
drawal must come before long. But the
work Of reorganizatio which Is in
progress is absolutely necessary to the
civic welfare of the Cuban people. Con-
Quoted as it is under the direction of
Gen. Wood, it probably cannot result. as
so many of the administration schemers
are trying to have it end, by the ap-
parent adoption by the Cuban people of
the policy of annexation. There is no
reasonable prospect of any such con,
tingency. Gen. Woods policy has placed
such a possibility outside Of all serious
consideration. The need[ul public sentI-
ment has been created against it. But
what the Democratic minority in con-
,gress should insist upon is definitive
statement as to the time needful for
putting in practical operation any sys.
tenn of constitutional government, sc
that the stay of our representatives in
the island may have some definite linn
itaton attached to it.
All the eloquence of Senator Spooner
and all the other administration cham
pions will not destroy the lesson of the
Cuban postal frauds. They are the legit-
innate product of the worst and most cor
rupt expression of political influence with
which the American people are familiar
The blocks OF five episode, the star route
frauds, the Credit Mobilier scandal. and
all the other corrupt blots upon the fame
of the American republic have had an
origin exactly like this. Thieves, known

unusual facts were brought out and eG-
planned.
Not only will men, women and children
be included in the census, but horses,
dogs, cows, mules and stock of all va
rieteS.
The enumerators have been instructed
to return their return sheets to the super
