G0hy Dr.. Ohage Nay
Change Ifis Name

Dr. Ohage is said to be seriously con-
templating some alteration in the literal
construction of his name. An Incident
transpired over at the public baths last
week which Is said to have prompted
this impulse upon the part of the genial
health commissioner.
It was on one of those merciiess days
when the sweltering sun forced every
body into places of refuge and drove
thousands into the refreshing pools at
Harriet island. Just such day as this
was required to emphasize the virtues
of the baths and the magnanimity of the
man who established them. If the phil
anthropy of such an individual never
commended itself to people upon any
other occasion, certainly it would on
day like this, or at least that is the
view which one man took as he plunged.
for the first time, into the COOL invig-
Grating waters in which he found such
wholesome relief from the intolerable
heat.
The man, short thickset son of
Erin, with his festive bathing garb on,
stood on the platform the while regain
ing some of the wind he had injudicious-
ly expended in making his initial dive.
He was the very picture of health. and
more noticeably of happiness. He had
never seen anything like these baths be-
fore, and words seemed to him entirely
inadequate to express the gratitude he

inal in their disregard of the regulations
established for the public health he Will
do more than can be done in any other
way to prevent a recurrence of such
scandalous and semi4barbarous disregard
of the commonest requirements of hy-
giene, both by individual and official, as
was the principal cause of the trouble
through which we have passed.
If a few of these persons are made to
suffer the penalty of the law the ex-
ample thus afforded to others who might
be equally disposed to repudiate their
duty toward other citizens and sections
of the state will have decidedly health
full effect,
The main difficulty found in deal
ing with the smallpox epidemic in the
cities arose from the difficulty of enforc-
ing the quarantine regulations against
the country districts and their people.
In one case a patient suffering from
smallpox was shipped over one of the
railroad lines to ST. Paul for treatment.
Other instances of caIlous disregard or
ignorance of others rights almost as
shameful as this might be cited. Where
the trouble arises from Ignorance on the
part of the patient and those attending
him, of course there is no punishment
merited; hut where those charged with
any duty in the premises neglect. or
avoid that duty they should be severely
punished. The great bulk of the ex-
pense and labor of the smallpox trouble
was borne by the cities; and the people
of the cities have right to look to
the state authorities to see to it that
the same conditions shall not be repro
duced in the future.

felt for the man who founded the inst-
tuition. In admiration he would gaze
down into the sparkling waters, and then.
with a broad smile, turn to the nearest
person and begin to extol the virtues Of
the magnanimous individual to whose
benevolence all this goodness was due.
Turning to a man near him, the en-
chanted Irishman asked:
"And who liver thought of this bath
business inyway?"
Or Ohage," was the mans reply.
Eth, Ell, Ell, Dr. whO?" quickly rejoined
the inquisitive newcomer. What is that
name?"
"ohage, DIR. ohage,1 the man again re-
piled.
"Win, VIII. and now isn't that noice.
But faith it's jist as you moight expict,

Some one told the old gentleman a
little while afterward that he was labor
ing under a delusion; that DIR. Ohage
was a native of Germany, reared and
educated in that country and was one
of the representative Germans of st.
Paul, but he only laughed and said,

NO USE REVIvING ERsE.

He was the soE of an Irish earl. Tt
was his first visit to this country, and
after a days sightseeing he invited one
of his friends to have a glass of some
thing or other, you know" on returning
to the hotel.
What do you think of this movement
to revive the original Irish language?"
asked the friend after the two had or
dered their drinks.
The young nobleman swallowed a little
of his something or other the wrong
way at this question, but succeeded in
saying, after short coughing fit:
lit 8 a movement among the senti-
mentalists, you know. They want to have
the Irish made a living language you
know; taught in the schools and spok an
in political campaigns, you know But it
is not practical, and, dare say, will
prove a failure
but what is the matter?" queried the
friend. How is it that the language is
dying?'
"The reason is" said the young Irish
man sadly, that all our native stock
have gone, into politics over here. think
this country is the place to revive the
language; to found an Irish chair in one
of your colleges, for instance"
After pausing to think over his own
suggestion he finally shook his head and
said
From what I've seen guess there's
no need of reviying it here"
''How's that?" asked the friend.

THE ADVANcE or THE TROLLEY.

THE 4DVANCE or THE TROLLEY.
Fifteen years ago the trolley came to
the rescue of the horse. It's beginning
was modest; in fact, defferential In the
great cities the cable held noisy posses
sion of the principal thoroughfares of ur-
ban travel, while the patient horse hob
bled over the !pavements of the lesser
streets and did his best to accommodate
the suburban residents with a means of
reaching their place of business before
lunch time.
This was fifteen years ago-not a very
long time, yet long enough to enable the
trolley to drive the cable out of bust
ness and the horse into other fields of
usefulness. Not content with these signal
victories, the trolley proposes to invade
the territory of the freight engine and
control the distribution of suburban pro-
duce.
Trolley lines are being fitted VA freight
cars to handle the vegetables of the
gardener and the milk dairy man. In
stead of the truck wagon rumbling into
the city in the early morning, laden with
sweet smelling onions, radishes, cabbage,
and new potatoes, the refrigerator trolley
car will steal into the market place
and discharge these gifts of the gods
cool from the virgin soil of the gardener
More than this the milk drawn from the
udders of the mild-eyed kline at 5 o'clock
in the morning will at o'clock be trans
ported, minus the churning process of
the milk wagon, to the back door of the

from the department stores and baskets
Of groceries will be delivered for dis
tribItion at the suburban substatons

The investigation being carried on by
the railroad commissioners into the iron
ore rates from the Minnesota iron mines
to Duluth, brings to the attention of the
public the vast iron resources of the
state. When We are told that the an
rual shipments from the ore docks of
Duluth are about 100000 tons, and that
this does not include half of what comes
from the mines, the question arises, Why
is all this ore shipped East? Why is 1t
not reduced to pig iron or to steel before
it leaves Minnesota soil? Why is not
Duluth the great iron manufacturing
center of the United States as it is the
iron ore center?
The answer comes, because the market
for the iron and steel is east, and not
west of Duluth. Had Duluth coal as well
as iron ore. the laws of trade would
soon compel the establishment of iron
shelters at the point where rail and
water meet. 1t would be cheaper to send
the pig iron east than to ship the iron
ore. Today if the iron market were west
from Duluth, it would be possible to
establish iron smelters and steel plants
at Duluth to compete with those of Pitts
burg, Notwithstanding the absence of
coal
1t costs forty cents per ton to bring
coal from Cleveland to Duluth 1t coss
eighty cents per ton to ship iron ore from
Duluth to Cleveland. 1t costs $40 per
ton to ship pig iron from Duluth to
Cleveland. One ton of coal will produce
one ton of pig. 1t takes one and two
thirds tons of iron ore to yield one ton
of pig. The result is but matter of
calculation. 1t will not pay to ship ccal
to Duluth to reduce the ore to pig and
ship the pig east to the market, but if
the market for pig were west, a fine
profit would be secured. Or if the mar
ket for iron and steel structures were
west, not only the pig but the finished
product could be manufactured on Min
nesota soil. Inasmuch as a large part
VI Jul SlCCl anu nun u duS lS with IOI@
eign markets. if those markets could be
reached from Duluth without breaking
bulk, as it is termed, the problem of iron
manufacturing in Minnezota would be
solved. When a twenty-foot channel
shall be completed from the docks of Du-
luth to the sea, either by the way of
the st. Lawrence river or the Hudson
when ocean-going boats can load at Du-
luth for foreign ports, then will the iron
manufacturer be compelled to come to
Duluth and establish his smelters and
his rolling mills When the marke. can
be reached by water, the question of coal
will take care Of itself.
Tor the want of suitable channel to
tide water, the great mineral wealth Of
Minnesota is being heaped into the lap
of Pennsylvania. There is no use of at
tempting to force the natural laws Of in
dustry; the success will be only temporary
at the best. Deep water navigation IS
the key that will unlock the Minnesota
iron industry nothing else will.

CHEAP MEALS IN LONDON

A HE4LTHFUL PUBLIC REVOLT.
Seldom has such positive and convinc-
ing expression been given to-a healthful
public sentiment than that conveyed
through the popular revolt now prevail
ing against the establishment of pay
chairs in the public parks of New York
city. An unmitigated public wrong was
perpetrated when the park authorities of
that city placed it in the power of any
private interest to make profit from the
maintenance of the park by levying
charges on the people for the free and
more convenient exercise of their rights
in the parks.
We are all familiar with the public Of
fetal who can see nothing in the incum-
bency of public place except an op2or-
tunity to mulct the public for the largest
possible amount of money profit. This
project of charging visitors to the New
York parks for the use of comfortable
seats originates from this principle. In
deed in that and other large
cities in America public privileges are
steadily being farmed out to bring per-
sonal profit to those who control them.
Most of the privileges and advantages
which were used to be granted as a mat
ter of personal or political favoritism are
now made the means of acquiring rev.
enue for the men who have them at their
disposal
1t is not conceivable that Park Com
missioner Claussen would have had the
temerity to peddle the rights of the pub
lie of New York to the free enjoyment
of their splendid park system at five
cents head If it were not for the I'm
mense personal profit which was APP
parently involved in it. The people had
the right to occupy the seats maintained
in their parks free of charge. That
right was infringed upon when any
of maintaining seats there for the use
of which money was collected. 1t did
not matter whether the public seats
were still maintained. They were

through the maintenance of more desir-
able seating facilities for which the pub
lie was expected to pay, and the use
of the public seats was no longer free,
since their occupancy placed the occu-
| pant at disadvantage, either real or
apparent, with reference to the occu-
nant of the nrivate seat
1t was an entirely proper occasion for
popular uprising. If the voting people
in New York and elsewhere could only
exercise their franchise right with
true regard to the selection of
the best men for the several a ces
no such shameful infringement of pub
lie rights would ever be attempted.
Rut politics has become a business with
the great bulk of those engaged in it,
and it is only the man who utilizes all
his privileges while in office to enrich
himself that seems able, especially in
municipal affairs, to maintain his as
cendancy.
Such popular antagonism as this paid
park seat episode has brought out is
an excellent thing for the results which
ii is certain to produce. 1t clears the
sordid atmosphere of New York politics,
at least for the time, and directs the
attention of intelligent voters to the
greatest evil of American municipal af-
fairs-the evil of regarding public priv
ileges and exemptions as the mere
means of promoting the enrichment of
politicians and public officials.
