that the two cities probably could not
be consolidated because st. Paul would
object to giving up her superior sys-
tenn Of government and living under
the poorer system of Minneapolis. We
are glad to hear that St. Paul has a
superior system Of government, tho
there is only occasionally evidence Of it
in administration; but even were con-
solidation to take place, it does not fol-
low that the poorer system would be
adopted for the new city. Indeed, it
is probable that the citizens would en-
deavor to construct under the home-rule
act charter which would include the
good points Of the present government
of each. r,
This objection to consolidation is not
the true one. The real obstacle is the
same which stood in the way Of con-
solidation Of New York and Brooklyn.
Until one Of the cities showed that it
was the real center the other would not
! give way. Manhattan became in time
the genuine center and Brooklyn sur
rendered. ..-.... .
Unseen forces worked out the des-
tiny of Minneapolis and st. Anthony
and they were consolidated under the
name of Minneapolis. These forces are
working out the destiny Of Minneapolis
and st. Paul. Minneapolis has been
declared the center Of population by
the census returns. She has been de-
clared the money center by, the bank
clearings. She is the unchallengedA man
ufacturing center, and the iobbing CEN
ter she is so rapidly becoming that this
question will soon be solved in her ia.

Their city will ever be superior to the
other in every point, but one or the
other will in time become known as the
real leader in the essentials Of great
market town. When that time comes
political consolidation will be as easy
as it was after Brooklyn had tried tc
rival New. York and failed, and after
St.. Anthony had tried to rival Mime
apolis and failed.
Meanwhile the Pioneer Press sugges
ton is correct, that the friendly and
wholesome rivalry Of the two cities ac
complishes some Of the results which nj
Mr.. Stickney believes would flow from or
an acknowledgment before the world
that the two cities are one. ! "

is scHWAB TIRED OF THE $500, 600
A-YEAR GAlT?-Arthur Henry, in his
book, lodgings in Town" CA. s. Barnes
& Co., New York;, has an interview with
Charles M. Schwab on the subject of how
it goes to be rich. It is decidedly in
teresting, but will hardly convert those
seeking great wealth, because all such
want to try the experiment Of being rich
for themselves. However, for the COM
fort Of those who are chasing other ideals
than wealth, we give a part of what Mr..
Schwab told Mr.. Henry:
As my income increased. tried to live up
to it. discovered that it was more than I
could do probably. 1 discovered that must
draw the line somewhere IL were to enjoy any.
thing. Since then have sometimes tried to
draw the line closer. The simpler live the
better feel. II today I were compelled to
choose between living up to $500. 600 a year
and $500 year, would choose the $500.
It will be noticed that Mr. Schwab
leaves himself very wide zone between
the extremes. Perhaps between $499, 999 a
year and $500, he would take the former.
However it is worth while to note that
there are limits to the expenditures that
add ANYTHING to ones joy In life.

old saint is not wearing his halo and you
look for it and finally you find it in the
hands Of the bride. The cartoonist is
right! The halo Of the saint used ASA

senate and house have annually grave
discussions over bills to protect the
life of the president. The White
House staff has made the commonest
rules regulating the matter Of seeing
the executive. In carrying out these
rules some mistake Of Judgment seems
to have been made in the Morris case.
It is unnecessary to assume that Mrs.
Morris was crank or dangerous per-

upon seeing the president was out of

MIR. Stickney on Consolidation.

r.. Mr.. A. B. Stickney is becoming ia
nous for his suggestive speeches. He
never made more stimulating address
than that delivered before the builders
of st. Paul on Minneapolis Paul as
market town. Wasting very little
time in complimenting the past, he
turned his attention to the future and
showed what these two cities might
become as commercial unit. They con-.
tain now upward Of 100000 people.
Separately they rank nineteenth and
twentythird respectively in the list Of
American cities. Taken together their
rank is sixth. Mr.. Stickney laid stress
upon the fact of their being one market
town, since two market towns in jux-
Imposition are impossible economically.
IF they were one in the eyes of the
world they would take on far differ
ent appearance to the trading and mi
grating world. .&-=+...~ &"
The extent to which the imagination
influences the trend Of people migrat-
ing to new locations was dwelt upon
and Mr.. Stickney pointed out very
Justly how much more the imagination
would be fired by the thought of join
ing community which had won the
rank of sixth in the cities Of the repub-
lie than by that of going to a city that
stood nineteenth or twenty-third
Could Minneapolis and st. Paul be
commercially unified and all their
transactions be reported to the eco
nonlic world as the work of one people
united in the development of single
community, the wave of immigration
would be marvelously stimulated.
.s Mr.. Stickney believes the practical
way to make Minneapolis and st. Paul
one is by decorating them on the plan
y by which New York and Brooklyn were
brought together. Each city conveyed
to the new central government enough
of its public functions to complete the
oneness Of the consolidated city and
retained the rest. He saw no valid rea.
son why Minneapolis and st. Paul
should not act on this plan.
Political consolidation, however
seems far away; tho it has been dis.
cussed frequently, it never has come
any nearer. Yet it would seem that
Mr.. Stickney is right in declaring that
that oneness as a political entity would
necessarily precede their consolidation

1 Recently Governor Magoon sent to
the president to be transmitted by him
to congress a detailed statement of
what had been done by the commission
toward perfecting the sanitary arrange
ments in the canal strip. He declared
that the work had been taken up by
the whole force at hand and had prac-.
tically superseded work on the canal
itself as a necessary preliminary to
digging. He added that this work was
now done. The zone was protected
from yellow fever and the existing
cases had been reduced to minimum.
The chances Of life on the isthmus,
he believed. were now as good as any
where in America, where men were re-
quired to do hard manual labor under
a semitropical sky These statements
are from a responsible officer Of the
government. They are Endorsed by the
secretary Of war, who personally Wis
tied the canal strip just before the be

Now comes one Poultney Bigelow, a
