Sudden Passion for independence.

Our Canadian friends and neighbors
seem to have become possessed of a
sudden passion for independence. This
does not mean that they are growing
impatient Of the greatly relaxed and
scarcely sensible tie which binds them
to the mother country. They are quite
satisfied with that, realizing, as they
are intelligent enough to do, that the
slight sacrifice which 1t involves Is
much more than repaid by the sub
stantial advantages which it secures.
Their desire for independence applies
to their relations with the United
States. They are apparently haunted
with g fear that this country will some
day, when 1T would be most inconven-
lent, adopt an unfriendly attitude to-
ward them and withdraw existing con-
cessions, upon which they are at this
time so far dependent that their aboli-
ton would be felt as an embarrass-
ment.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

with future improvements; and be-
sheraton. the railroad tracks on that
street are already bridged, and there
would be no difficulty there to post
pone the work.
One question at time is enough.
The people of st. Paul have been wait
ing long time for cross town line,
to which they are fully entitled. Let
us press for it at Dale street, and we
are convinced that the building of 1T
will be followed in few years by the
construction of others parallel to it and
farther westward. For. in reality. it
is the strangest feature of the situa-
ton that the street railway company
is blind to its own advantages in the
matter. which the facts would quickly
put to the proof. AS a mere economy
in operation, taking from the lines now
running an enormous share Of the
travel that overcrowds them and
transferring it to the new route. it
would be an actual saving. The econ
omy of carrying hosts of people one
mile instead of three would at once
more than compensate for the cost cf
building and operating the line that
should at the same time accommodate
the public.
This consideration ought to have
furnished st. Paul long ago with a cross
town car line, without the necessity
Of agitation or petitioning on their
part But, since the railway company
has been insensible to their interests
as well as to it's own it is time for
them to move. The subject should be
taken up by the Commercial club. the
Chamber of Commerce and other rep
resentatiYe bodies. 1t should be urged
by our people as whole. from whom
The Globe invites the fullest and
freest expression Of opinion. Those
communities thrive best that do most
nothing can do more to push st. Paul
ahead than the building of cross
town car line. The people will get 1t if
they insist upon it. They should start
the ball rolling and not let it come to
rest until this crying want has been
satisfactorily met

THE OUTLOOK FOR GOOD MUSIC.

It's a safe statement that the music
lover who remained in st. Paul
throughout the musical season last
year was not surfeited. For the paucity
of musical attractions in the earlier
part of the season there was, Of course,
that one good excuse, the lack of
suitable hall. But even when that was
supplied the season frightened very
little. Those who desired to refresh
themselves, and had the courage for
the trip and the Drawn for clinging to
the strap, took the trolley ride to Min
neapolfs. Others remained at home
and lamented. A few gratefully re-
ceived the crumbs brushed from the
lap Of Minneapolis and appeared con-
tent.
That st. Paul has musical culture
nobody doubts; that her musical past
has been a worthy one no one can
deny; but that In the last two seasons
she has been losing her place, the high
place she. has gained for herself as
musical center, all who are interested
in the matter must sorrowfully admit.
Local clubs have done excellent work
in bringing to St. Paul foreign musi-
clans whom the world has delighted to
honor, and those same clubs have I'M
grudgfngly given their aid to foster
home talent that has proved itself
worthy Of such assistance But COM
mittees of those various clubs all de-
clare that to bring to st. Paul an out
of-tow4 artist, however famous, is a
hazardous undertaking; and that even
success hardly compensates for the
hard work entailed.
The general public alone can insure
st. Paul brilliant musical season.
Such organizations as the st. Paul
Choral club, the Mozart club and the
Schubert club each reach a part of this
general public, and the first-named
club has been fortunate in interesting
the public as whole in it's produc-
tons; but the three organizations have
not heretofore combined to bring out
of-town musicians to st. Paul, or to
make their visits, when they do come,
financial success. The prospects for
the coming season are encoura ging.
There is.sa promise of some excellent
symphony concerts. and, since there is
an adequate auditorium, there is every
reason to expect that these will be
supplemented by other attractions.
Close cooperation on the part of the
musical clubs of the town and gen
erous patronage of the general public
would make the coming season surpass
in brilhancy any ST. Paul has known,
and there is no good reason now for
suspecting that these two things will
be lacking.

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

1. We present in our local columns THIS
morning a summary OF the work oone
by the board OF equalization which
closed It's sessions yesterday. AS "a a
vaudeville performance. the meetings.
/ of the board have had considerable
vogue. AS contributing to the pocket
money of it's members. each OF whom n
has received s72 1for his labors, it was
success. AS far. as the public is con-
cerned 1t appears to have been an ex-
pensive luxury. - - -
The meetings sof this body have
mainly served as an occasion for the
delivery Of stump speeches, for per-
sonal glory or political purpose, by a
few of its most active and vociferous
members OF the three men who were
particularly loud in their denunclatlons
of men and interests in this eommu-
nity. Mr.. Nash, who made himself most
Conspicuous, is not assessed for an any
personal property return Whatever
The total assessment Of the three Is
s375. That Is their stake In the COM
munity which they have been bent
upon saving at SO each per diem per

pense Of S33 per day to the taxpayers

cost, in all, 1872. On the last day IT
raised the assessment Of the Northern
Pacific railroad heavily; an increase
whose legality is doubtful and which
loWfu be contested. Even If valid, this
action could have been taken on the
first day instead of the last. The. total
work accomplished In the other TWEEN
ty-three days was the decrease Of tn, the
assessment roll by an amount approx
Fthating $4,000.
- The work of the assessor was adj
mitted to be very satisfactory by every
body in the least familiar with Its de-
tails. It was thorough, and the gen.
eraI admission was that 1t was falr.
No two men would agree absolutely on
valuations; butrthe fact that so few al
terations were made is the satisfactory
! test. In the meantime, however, Dust
ness interests were threatened, bust
ness men were hauled over the Goals,
assessments were raised or lowered and
set back again, and the net result was
nothing. The greatest sinner in the
matter of paying taxes, as shown by its
own figures, the. street railway COM
pany, was not brought to book but
found ready defenders.
There must. be- board of equaliza-
ton. Its office is ITO correct any glaring
inaccuracies, any notable mistakes or
accidental omissions in the work OF the
assessor. That it should do, promptly
and in a businesslike way, and adjourn.
If it attempts to revise the entire roll
and finds nothing to be done, it con-
| dennis itself If any Of it's members
abuse their office from personal mo-
tives, they should pay the penalty in
sharp public disapproval. That
some members Of the board
desired no more than to per-
form their duties quietly and go about
their business is true. That there was
a minority less disinterested the pub
lie has observed through some of these
bear-garden sessions. And the protrac-
ton Of them, at the public cost, is a
violation of duty. Let the people place
the blame where it belongs, and insist
hereafter on more business and less
| playing to the galleries. .4.c..

A Family Affair.

The working members of the family
consisting Of father and two sons
found themselves out of employment.
After diligent search, the youngest
son found employment on the Rox-
borough filter plant, helping to dig the
excavations.
On the completion of the first days
work he asked Mr.. McNichol to give
his brother job. The contractor, ever
on the alert for good men, asked the
young man If his brother could do as
much work as he, and on the strength
of this recommendation the elder
brother was engaged.
The next day both brothers went to
McNichol and pleaded to have their
father put on the job.
Can your father do as much work
as either of you boys?" asked Nc
Nichol.
YES" answered the brothers; "he
can do as much work as both of us to-
gether."
Very good" replied McNichol.

Almost daily one sees records of diff
ferent persons being detained in de-
fault of various sums of money. Here
is an account of girl who the other day
offered to place her little flaxen-haired
brother in trust for the tiny sum of five
cents. The transaction, or what might
have been one, took place in a certain
barber shop in Philadelphia. The bar
ber had just finished rounding off the
little fellows bangs and was heaping all
manner of praises on him for his good
behavior during the process of the op-
Grafton, and the sister stood proudly by
happy in the thought that she was
guardian through such an ordeal.
Finally the time came to "render unto
Caesar, the things that are Caesars" ;"
and she handed over to the barber a
bright ten cent piece. "Oh, hair cuttin's
10 cents" remarked his Tonsorial
Highness. "Is it?-but that's all have

dian, "and I'll run home and get the
