Leaving behind a fragrance of good deeds:

Whatever fortune comes to shape events
She carried>in her heart the good intent.
And surely, too, since that far fragrant
hour,
When first the boughs of Eden broke TO
Nothing has ,shined more kindly than
good deeds.
Lo, out OF these threads golden heaven
proceeds,
The memory of the good deeds will ever
stay,
A lamp to light us on the darkened way;
A music to the ear on cl2moring street.
A cooling well amid the MONDAY heat,
scent of green boughS blown through
narrow walls,
A feel of rest when quiet evening falls.
The kindly deed will live in memory
When London, in far centuries, shall be
As still as Babylon and both a dream
When London dead shall be some poets
When all her tombs and towers shall be

A PERLIC WRONG.


AS the immediate and direct result of
the, refusal of the city comptroller to dis
charge a duty Imposed on him by the
law. citizens having claims against the
city are now denied payment, and city
employees are or will be forced to go
without their compensation. This lat
ter feature of Mr. McCardy's administers
ton of his Office is q familiar one It
has been in operation at intervals since
he first came into office, and 1t has until
now found explanation in Mr. McCardy's
assurances that it's recurrence was need
full for the protection of the public well
fare in some one direction or other
That pretext cannot be adopted in this
case; and the fact is now beyond con-
~ at variance with every conception of
official responsibility are due to what is
On It's face deliberate violation of law by
the city comptroller.
The public are told in extenuation of
the existing disgracefuI state of things
that Mr.. McCardy cannot with his pres
ent clerical force meet the requirements
of the charter. That may or may not be
true 1t Is not a matter of moment here
Mr.. McCardy knew this to be the case
when the charter went into operation
just as he knows it now. His duty then
was plain. If he could not have met the
requirement of a daily report without ad-
ditional help he should have said so. He
should not have shirked, as he did, and
have left it to the city treasurer to point
out his duty to him, or to the common
council to adopt resolution attempting
to force him to the performance of his
duty.
Why did not Mr.. McCardy ask the
council in the first instance for the ad-
ditional help? Why has he not since
set his men to work, even at the expense
of having them work after hours, to
meet the requirements of the charter?
That much at least might be expected
from him. He is no ordinary official NOR
tai. His great, self-imposed official func-
ton for years has been that of insisting
that others shall obey the mandates Of
the city's organic law whether they found
it agreeable or not. He should not have
set the bad example Of violating it him
self, at least until he had adopted every
reasona BILE effort at inducing the city
council to give him the needed help.
Tie present is a disgraceful and an
intolerable state of things. No really
scrupulous and exact public official would
ever have allowed it to come into exist
ence through any act of omission or COM
mission of his. The G 10 b e does not.
care what the council has done or will
do in the premises. There is a plain
dereliction of duty somewhere; and, from
all existing appearances it lies at the
door of Comptroller McCardy. 1t is ut
terly indefensible that the general public
or the employees of the city shall be made
to suffer from it.

Gov. Van SAINT would have studiousiy

appointment unless he had good and
sufficient reasons for so doing. Jens
Grondahl was slated for state librarian
but by some means the slate was broken
and the place given to E. A. Nelson, of
Hailock, Kittson county. Oscar esbach,
of Red Wing, looked for a while like
winner in the race for the adjutant gen.
eralship, but the finish only gave him
second money. We suspected that the
failure of the two Red Wingites to Sc
cure a first position was brought about
by under current influence and in pass
ing up these two men, the governor was
necessarily obliged to do likewise with
the county.

While We must regret that the place to
which he aspired could not have been
given to each of the candidates from
this neighborhood, we are spending no
sympathy on the Republicans at large
They were not actuated by desire for
Office. They stood firm for Republican
principles against the heretical notions
of John Lind, which We did not fail to
point out during the campaign.
They thought Van SAINT would make a
better governor than Lind. They believ-
ed Lind was to be vi.ifed and Van SAINT
praised-notably the esteemed Daily Re-
publican. whose several candidates. for
senatorship and state appointment were
not conspicuously successful They did
it not for the sake of reward, and Good
hue county stayed solid.
Only one thing seems homogeneous Ons
of Linds heresies was that the interests
of the state should be he'd before any
personal consideration The glorious Re
publican principle is that a man sho.lid
stand by his friends. And Van SAINT

as innocent until he is proven to be
guilty. We do not say that this man is
guilty, as the grand jury says he is; but
we do say that his retention of the Of
fee one moment longer than is necessary
to eject him from it, or to enable him to
establish his innocence of the crimes laid
at his door by the grand jury is in the
nature of a grievous public outrage.
There has been more or less talk heard
in this connection about party political
advantage to be gained or lost by the
adoption of a given line of conduct in
connection with this official Such talk
is idle nonsense. Haas holds his position
by grace of Republican votes He may
or may not be accepted as representative
of the false reform professions which
are so generally identified with the Re-
publican politicians and officeholders of
st. Paul. But if he were ten times a
Democrat, the G 0 b would be as urg-
ent as it is at this moment in insisting
that this man proceed forthwith to es-
tablish his innocence of the crimes laid
at his door with such strong presumption
of right, or else that he be made to give
up the Office at once.
1t will not do to abolish the office over
his head. If he is guilty he should be
driven out. If he is innocent he should
be allowed to finish his term. He has
the splendid avenue of escape which
resignation offers. That avenue would
not be open to him were It mot for the
circumstance set forth by the grand
jury in declaring why it did not find an
indictment against him. AS it is the
door is open; and it looks as If it would
be a decidedly discreet course for Haas
to take to escape by it.
Either the council or Mr.. Haas should
act on this matter at once. The situa-
ton as it exists is a scandal, and al
together intolerable.

UNIFORMITY IN TEACHERS.

mai School Board.
To the Editor of the Globe.
I see that a resolution has been passed
by the state normal school board, rec
oumending legislation whereby the state
superintendent will be permitted to ac
cept normal sehol certificates as credits
in state examinations. AS the law now
stands state high school graduates have
a distinct advantage over those having
normal diplomas. It seems to me that
our worthy normal board is allowing
one error to lead it into another. High
school graduates should have no adj
vantage of normal graduates and neither
one should have the advantage of COM
mon or rural school pupils. The ques-
ton should not be 'What road did you
Gomez" but what Is the value of your
wheat?" If those high schools and nor
NAL schools are what their friends claim,
their pupils ought not to be afraid of
little examination, and it Is hardly neees-
sary to jockey them around 1T by spe-
cial legislation. Unless examinations are
uniform they are worthless in deterniin-
ing the respective merits of the appH-
cants and must work grave injustice to
some of them If normal standing is
taken for one high school standing for
another, state examinations for the rest.
what becomes Of your uniformity? But
I presume If the interests of high
schools, normal schools and universities
are taken care OF, 1t will be all right
and the fool common schools have no
rights that our legislatures are bound to
respect.
As long as those higher educational
institutions know that their examina-
ton will be followed by impartial state
examinations they viii be little par
ticular about the standing they give
their students. but as soon as they know
that those examinations are final they
would never think of injuring the pros
poets Of their beloved pupils and ruin
ing the regulations of their famous In
stitutions by having their students fail

a. little coaching on the questions, or a

AN AsININE ATTACK.

Among the things that the Pioneer

ministration. This fact keeps a-stick.ng
in our contemporary's craw and gives it
other troubles taken together The fact
that in st. Paul, less crime is committed.

detection than in any other city of the
same size in the United States. causes as
much uneasiness and distress to the Pio-

assuring to the citizens. And so it, with
the sanity whine, has entered into a

Cup That He Drank 1t From Now in
This Country.

Mai A. Craig Palmer has in his pos
session a cup and saucer for which a
s, 900 reward has been offered and which
was stolen from the house of Napoleon
in 184S, says the Macon News.
The cup and saucer have been in the
possession of Maj. Palmer's wife's fam
lily fer forty years or more. and We're
who stole them. They are the purest
china, and the cup Is very large. but no
taller than the average tea cup. It is
said to the identical tea cup out of which
Napoleon drank his tea.
Some time ago the New York Herald
contained an advertisement offerings
reward of 81 COO for the cup and saucer
The reward was offered by relatives
of Napoleon, who live In or near Balti-
more and who have the remaining pieces
of the set. Maj. Palmer says that his
wife is unwilling to part with them at
any price.
