First, he believed in whitewash and

ever discovered. His second fad was
an apparently unreciprocated attachment
to pet famingo, who resented being
kept in captivity and who showed his
resentment by nipping at every soldier
who passed his way. On the part of
the soldier there was nothing to do but
swear under his breath and wait for re-
venge.

der was issued from headquarters that
all articles pertaining to the camp which
were not sheltered from the weather
should be whtewashed. No one who

BAD PRINCIPLE AND BAD POLITICS.


The report has gone out that the ship

that enough senators. have been rounded
UP by the powerful lobby aided by the
party LASH to secure it's passage. Rumor
also has it that the Democrats will cease
active opposition and allow the majority
to have its way, hoping thereby to Sc
cure political advantage by fixing the
responsibility of most unpopular meas
ure upon the Republican party Another
reason for Democratic passivity which
appeals to some Of the Opposition SEN
atols is the fear that if the minority an
peals to fflibustering tactics to prevent
the bill from coming to a Vote this ses-
sion the party will be charged with the
responsibility of an extra session, which
the Republican managers declare will be
called, unless the subsidy bill is allowed
to come up and thus clear the way for
other important legislation.
We fear that this would be bad prin
ciple as well as bad politics 1t has been
demonstrated to the satisfaction of every
one that the Republican party cannot
be hurt by legislation, no matter how
obnoxious to the people. There never was
a more unpopular piece of legislation than

GROWTH OF IRRIGATION SENTI-
MENH

Willis ]. Abbot in closing his article
in the February Forum on Lessons of
the Election says:
Let the nation spend its millions in
building irrigation plants for the arid
West rather than in killing people in
Luzon; and when the desert shall have
been made fertile let it be leased to set
tiers who will live upon it rather than
be sold outright to spectators who Will
hold it idle for profit"
To this creed every honest patriot can
subscribe. The advantage of the internal
expansion inaugurated by jefferson near
ly one hundred years ago cannot be real

of which is now arid, is reclaimed and oc-
cupied by American citizens The money

THE WEATHER IN ST. PAIL.

For some days past a fierce winter
storm has been raging throughout large
section of this country 1t has extended
as far North as Milwaukee and as far
South as Kansas. Railroads are blockad-
ed, and the conditions throughout vast
stretch of country are those which dis
tinguished the progress of an able-bodied
blizzard.
Such conditions have marked the sew
eral sections of the country outside of
Minnesota, North. East and West alike
at intervals almost since the awful catas-
trophe at Galveston. and certainly since
the opening of the winter But here In
this favored region weather conditions
have not been at any time more. unfavor-
able than they are at the present mo-
ment. The mercury in st. Paul has gone
down as low as fifteen degrees below
zero this winter. During the past twenty
tours hours it has ranged from ten above
to zero, with sharp wind blowing; and
1t can be truthfully said that there has
not been more uncomfortable day dur
ing the present winter than was yester-
day. Yet no man or woman in good
health would of choice seek the shelter of
a carriage or street car to go any avail
able distance
The present winter has been a most
agreeable one. Yet it has been in no
sense exceptional in that regard. We
have been free from anything like dis
abling storm in this community for years.

The assembly last night passed by a
unanimous vote the union depot ordi-
nance. After it had been amended by
providing that the Depot company
Should, in addition to the other consid-
erations provided to be given in the or
dinance as reported by the committee,

company in regard to the levee, and
also for the rent which the Milwaukee
company would pay during the next
twelve years if the levee were not va
Gated. We have heretofore expressed our
satisfaction with the provisions of the
ordinance before this last amendment
was made
1t is not certain that the Depot com
pany will agree to make this further
concession on its part. If however, the
ordinance passes the board of aldermen
as amended, and is ultimately accepted
by the Depot company, it will be a
fortunate issue of the matter.
The concessions provided to be made
by the Union Depot company, while net
excessive, yet are more than was at
first proposed and favored by the COM
mercial bodies of the city, and a major,
ity of the assembly would have been
satisfied without the last amendment,
but the necessary three-fourths vote
could not be secured to pass the ordi-
nance without it. The Union Depot COM
pany will be short-sighted if it does not
strain point and make this further
concession-and. judging from its atti-
tude toward this matter in the past it Is
probable that it will not allow its pro-
posed Improvements to be defeated by a
matter of $4,000. It will be a satisfaction
TO many citizens who are interested in
this matter if the board of aldermen
will promptly pass the ordinance through
that body and thus open the way for
these improvements which will cost. it

lars, the greater portion of which will
be expended in labor in this city and
will also insure that we shall have

may come in the future.
