AN AGREEMENT IN SIGHT.

The people of st. Paul are pleased
with the apparent progress made
toward an agreement between the
city authorities and the. gas
corporations franchise. The PROPOSE
lions of both sides have been heard,
and the differences between them
have been discussed at great length
and over such period Of time as to
give opportunity for careful examina-
ton. The company Is prepared to
yield something of the terms that it
had decided upon in conformity with
the report of the franchise commits
sion. The corporation attorney, who
has insisted throughout upon more
liberal arrangement for the city, will
doubtless waive some portion of his
demand.
1t is now conceded that the mini
duced, and the company also accepts
the control of its electric rights by the
city council. These are important
points gained. 1t seems to us that to
them might well be added an option
for purchase by the city; not at the
end Of five year periods, which Is so
short a time as to disturb business sta
bility, but, say, at the end of ten
years and again at the end of twenty.
Under the old franchise the company
was subject to this right of purchase
by the city, and we do not see that
1t will be interfered with by this ar
rangement In the future any more
than in the past If this were granted,
the city on it's part would probably not
insist upon any such condition as the
reversion of the plant to the people
at the end of the entire franchise Pc
Rod
The statement of a member of the
franchise commission that the public
had displayed throughout this dis
cussion a notable and regrettable
lack of interest in the whole affair is
exactly true. We confess to utter as
tonishment at the apparent Indifference
of the people in a matter where their
comfort and their rights are so CLOSELY
concerned. The Globe on its part
laid this whole subject before them
many weeks ago, stated the case on
both sides, showed what was asked
by the gas company and what was
claimed for the city, and announced
that its columns would be open to the
people for an expression of opinion
and discussion of the conditions that
should be imposed. 1t Is an amazing
fact that not one word has been
spoken by any citizen. and not one
communication relative to the gas
franchise has been received at this
office. We doubt if there Is another
city in the United States where such
stolid apathy could prevail; and where
the representatives Of the people
would be left to fight their own battle
SO utterly without assistance, advice
Or sympathy from the people them
selves.
The advantages to be gained nv
reaching an agreement with the ex-
listing gas company are, as we have
already stated. material. They con-
sist chiefly in reductions in the price
of gas during the next three years
and before the franchise expires. I'm
less the public is prepared to make
some entirely different arrangement
that is. to invite propositions for
lighting service from some other quar-
teri may very well make reasonable
terms, if it can. with the st. Paul Gas

which has eleven double tracks all

Across the liver are the cities OF

dens are especially attractive. Fiom
the top OF the tower, to which l had

TO LENOTHEN LIFE.

MYOBODY ever dies natural death
! ' Old age, the premature old age,
which is the only kind we know, is q
pathological condition. Such are the
opinions OF an eminent doctor, not a
fakir, but serious person who studies
things through microscope at the
Pasteur Institute. Each OF us swarm
with tiny beasts OF prey, which travel
up and down our bodies, seeking what
they may devour. BY attacking our
beneficient cells, previously weakened
by the unwise life we all lead, they
produce an artificial senility, the NAL
ady which kills those men whom in
our ignorance we call very old. Old
age is merely problem for medical
science. How shall we help our benz.
ticent cells in their struggle against
the enemy? One way would be to
take every baby and cut out his larger
intestine, an organ which ought not
to have been included in our anatomy.
At present this cannot be done as the
operation is risky. A second method
would be to destroy the beasts of prey.
But we do not yet know what they
exactly are. Some are q legacy left
by our ancestors, immediate and re-
mote, who suffered from heritable di.
seases. Others, more mysterious, are
