POLITICS AND pEANrn,s

County Auditor Johnson is nothing If
not unique. His offer to Mayor Kiefer
concerning the city assessorship is as
unique as almost anything else that has
emanated from that versatile politician
since he broke into local politics through
his skillful manipulation of the rivalries
of Eighth ward craftsmanship.
MI. Johnson has stood on his privileges
as skilled politician for nearly tyvo
years in this matter of the selection of
an assessor. The sentiment imputed to
the late Mr. Vanderbilt regarding the pub

tionship to the assessorship. and to
his associate appointing official. MAY
or Aiefer, during that period. 1t
has not mattered to him whether an
assessor was or was not appointed. as
the law provides he should be appointed
as long as the present hold-over assessor
was willing to retain his friend Carter in
the place of deputy assessor.
And where is the politician, howsoeyer
ardent reformer he might be-and none
doubts the ardor of Mr.. seng as a reform
er-that would not have consented to ned
die out his first deputyship to the appoint
ing power, with the understanding that
he would thereby himself be enabled to
retain his job Indefinitely? And when
such retention Of office happens to be ac
companied by the additional prerogative
of acting as the salaTied agent of the
local agency of an outside brewery, it Is
surely true that the reform Official
whether assessor or otherwise, who would
not go into such a dicker would be wholly
unmindful of his own moneyed welfare
however the pubic might happen to re-
gard the transaction.
Assessor seng and County Auditor
Johnson are a pair of official peaches
They are a brace of typical st. Paul re-
formers If they were in the South they
would surely go into the peanut business.
That industry is anyway an accented in
cident to the pursuit of reform politics in
this community. The invitation extended
to Mayor kiefer at this time to embark
in the same line of activity, after that
gentleman has been seduously prevented
from having anything whatever to say as
to the appointment of either an assessor
or his deputy, may or may not be accent

NO POLICE CHANGES

The people of St Paul gave exp.essi n
to one idea with the most convincing
clearness in the last election. Whatever
other issues were settled or left unset
tied. the issue of the police department is
no longer one of politics, if the peopls'z
will is to be regarded
Yet we are gravely informed by all rec
ognized local Republican authority that
the police are still in politics; and that
for the protection of the Republican in
terest in the community, the six devoted
men who constitute the majority Of the
city assembly are determined that there
shall be no change made in that denart-
ment of city government
The saying about whom the gods wish
10 destroy they first make mad il q de-
cidedly old saw. But it is an old saw that
applies very directly in this case Ar,
these men really mad, or do they simply
assume the role of public lunatics in re-
spouse to some supposed party demand?
We have police department. We have
had it for four years past The people
recognize both truths. And they have de
cided as conclusively as it was pcs The
for them to do that that police DEPART
ment is not worth perpetuating. On the
contrary, the popular verdict is that that
police department should disappear from
OF the face of the earth about as QUICKLY
as the official ak can encompass it's dis
appearance. And now, in the teeth of the
declaration of the public of St. Paul in
that behalf, the Republican majority of
the city assembly serves notice on the
same public that they will suffer m
change whatever to be made in the sit
uation. The thing is incredible. or w5ull
be, were there any possible way in which
to gainsay the correctness of the de..area

apparently attained his growth several
years ago. When he became bedrfdden
TWO weeks ago he was about five feet five
inches in height, but when measured for
a coffin after his death his family were
surprised to find that he had grown u
six feet.
No one noticed that he was growing
during his illness, and Dribble did not ex-
perience any Of the symptoms which gen
orally accompany too rapid growth. When
ne was fourteen years old he was pro-
nounced tall for his age, but after his
fourteenth year his growth was slow

what the physician said, the family and

yesterday afternoon, the change in his
appearance was noticed and talked about

TO MAKE NEW YORK CITY A WAY
STATION

The commerce of New York city has
suffered in recent years from several
causes which have caused diversions Of
traffic to other and more convenient
shipping ports. 1t is not long ago since
business men Of that city were investigat-
ing the reason for the falling off in the
volume OF grain shipments from the port
of New York, and they learned that the
cause was mainly the limited dockage
facilities and the antiquated and cxpen-
sive methods Of elevating and trans
porting grain in vogue in that city. This
information has evidently stirred up the
railroads and ship owners Of New York
city, and it is now announced that the
Pennsylvania railroad has acquired con
troll of the Long Island railroad system
and intends to make Fort Pond Bay its
deep water harbor, and ocean-going yes
sells could load and unload at the wharf-
side without any difficulty By the con-
structfon OF tunnels under the North
river from Jersey City to Manhattan,
and thence under the East river to Long
island, connecting with the Long Island
railroad the Pennsylvania railroad will be
able to deliver freight and passengers at
Fort Pond bay, where they can be tram
shipped with ease and economy on the
Atlantic liners.
The perfection of this plan will reduce
New York city, SO far as Western and
transcontinental trade and travel are
concerned, to the status of a. great way
station, and it's trade returns would suf-
fer proportionateIy.
