JACKSON RESIGNS
Refusal of Council to Respond to
Need for Improvement in
Spencer Square
ENDS COMMISSIONERS SERVICE
Bid Of $2,253 Considered Too Large
an Expenditure for a New
Pavilion.

The refusal of the city council at
its meeting last evening to order the
building of a new pavilion in Spencer
square in accordance with the specifi-
cations heretofore described resulted
in the resignation as park commits
sioner of Hon. William jackson. Three
bids were received in response to the
advertisement of the city clerk. But
two were considered. those of c. j.
Larkin. 81 .253. and Emil Peterson. 81
625. Henry Tappendorf having failed
to enclose a check. as required in the
specifications.
1t was manifest that there had been
lobbying before hand against the cree
ton Of the pavilion. for when the bids
had been read the batteries of the OPP
position were opened under the lead
ership of AID. /. V. Eckhart. who
thought that S2.253. the figure in the
lowest bid, was too much money to
be expended on what he termed mere
~ an ornament. If the city had any
surplus funds on hand he knew Of no
better place to employ them than in
the western end of the city. in the
frog pond districts. and where the
people were suffered to wade ankle
deep in mud for want of proper side
walks in wet weather, or in Longview
park.
AID. !. +. Sexton replied that Spen-
Ger square was the key to the city. 1t
was the only public beauty spot. 1t
was the first thing that attracted at
tenticn Of the stranger. and was
known over the country as one of the
handsomest public parks in the coun-
try. From private sources there had
been donated for its adornment $500.
1t had never been a financial burden
To the city. but now that the time
had arrived when the council was eX-
pectcd to loosen its purse strings.
nothing shOddy or cheap should he
permitted. Either the pavilion pro-
posed should be in keeping with the
surroundings or the present structure
should be allowed to remain undis-
turbed. AID. +. +. Robbins. who mov-
ed the awarding of the contract to

sentiments expressed by Aid. Sex

The Minneapolis Union, the Mime
apolis organ of organized labor. hae
the following In last weeks issue:
sit is stated, on what authority we
do not know, that Congressman John
Lind will return to Minneapolis and
head the fight against W. R. Hearst
We think that Mr.. Lind will make a
serious mistake if he takes this posi-
ton, as Hearst has many strong fol-
lowers in this section who will resent
bitterly any such action on the part
Of our respected congressman, and 1t
may result disastrously to Mr.. Lind
if he has any political aspirations for
the future. We believe every man
has right to his own opinion. but it
is sometimes poor policy to press
that opinion opon ~others in too
strenuous manner. Mr.. Lind has
many staunch supporters in Mime
sofa who are equally strong Hearst
men, and who believe that the best
thing that Mr.. Lind can do is to
keep his hands off and let the best
man win, in this locality at least. -

as 1t does about fair play in politics,
and that Is exceedingly little. 1t gives
az a sort Of authority something
which some alleged democrat of this
county told it recently, but wisely re-
Trains from giving the gentleman q

one who showed his democracy in the

when, although both the editor and
manager were delegates to the St..
Cloud city democratic convention,
they failed to attend and the Times
':supported" the regular democrat
nominee, Mayor Robinson. by deep
silence Let 1t be said about the stu
alton in this county. that the republi-

better in 1894, owing to a heavy re-
publican immigration, than they have
ever done since.

RUSSIA LOSES BIG BATTLESH HIP.
St. Petersburg, April 1.-the mon
ster battleship Petropavlovsk sunk
early yesterday morning by striking
a mine as she sailed out from Port
Arthur harbor, under the admiral's
colors, to engage the Japanese during
a bombardment. The great ship is a
total loss, including Admiral Makar-

Russia, the dependence of the car in
the navy of the Far East, and one Of
the greatest and bravest war strate-
gists of the world on water. The
Petropavlovsk struck a mine on her
star-board side, amidship, and i'm
mediately began to heel. Before the
crew could food the port compart-

her on an even keel she turned turtle
and sank in few minutes, carrying
down almost the entire crew. Cap
