A FEW WEEKS OF 1T.

II HE first few weeks of Democratic control
n of the city-that is, if they have control
which is yet to be determined-have brought
forth a law suit During the city campaign we
were promised that in the event of Democratic
success everything would be conducted in
busness-like and economical manner And yet
the course of the Democrats has been marked
by anything but such desirable qualities
Almost the whole time of the Democrats has
been consumed in wrangling over the disposal
of few offices and in tying up the affairs OF
the CITY so that we shall have expensive strug-
Gle i'm the courts. The Democrats indicated their
willingness to engage in such conflict and they
are going to have it. One Republican member
OF Council was ousted on the testimony of sew
eral negroes that they had voted the Democratic
ticket which testimony was contradicted by 9TH
er Witnesses as credible as those who gave the
original evidence.
The Republican candidate for Councilman
naturally resisted the efforts to deprive him OF
an Office to which he believed he had been
elected Then came the interference by the
courts Then followed the panic of the Demo
Gratis who expected-although they had been
warned to the contrary-that their smoothly
oiled plan which was to win the applause of the
multitude would go through without hitch. As
we have said all along the basis of the contest
was a desire TO get more offices. This tact 1t
seems TO us is plainly shown by the prompt
election of Mr.. Quinn who was the general
issimo of the contesting forces to the best gift
at the hands of Council. The net gains of the
Democrats in the struggle are a claim for two
more Offices and a fight in the courts. 1t
is this fight in the courts that is not pleasing to
the Democrats. They too often lose such bat
ties. Before they get through with it they may
wish that they had not begun At any rate the
tax PAYERS may think that the city is paying
dearly as a starter of Democratic administra-
ton.

THE COFFIN NAIL"

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 3.-'rhe state
law prohibiting the sale Of paper cigarettes
went into effect Sunday at i2 midnight
and from now on, II win be illegal to put
them on the market.
Early yesterday evening there was a
shortage in popular brands at some cigar
stores and clerks sent prices up higher
than ordinarily charged at retail Reports
came in from other parts of the city that
a fresh supply had arrived. This caused a
rush to these stores, which caused values
to decline again.
At seme stores, however, prices were
kept at top notch, as il was thought
that there would be little difficulty in get
ting rid OF the stocks. shortly after lC
O'Clock nve-cent packages sold at eight Tor
a quarter. ten-cent boxes at four for
quarter, ffteen-cent boxes at three for q
quarter. and twenty-five cent cigarettes al
/ two for thirty-hve cents. These rices re-
NAMED stationary until midnight
More than a million cigarette were sold

Senate still Republican, no matter now the next
election NAV 90. it can be easily seen that even
should the Democrats win there would be no
revision of the tariff by them. In view OF the
attitude taken by many of the Democrats dur-
ing the debate in the Senate, an attempt by the
Democrats to revise the tariff would lead TO
a more bitter fight than that which has been
Witnessed during the present special session ol
Congress.
The tariff bill, on the whole, il passed by the
Senate will be satisfactory to the majority OF

posed establishment of a Customs court, the
adoption of the maximum and minimum rates

advise with the President in the operation OF a
maNimum and minimum clause and on matters
generally connected with the tariff
Mr. Taft comes out of the conflict with great
credit During the early stages OF the tarit
making he was criticised in some quarters be-
cause he did not set out to shape the tariff leg
slation. because he did not attempt to tell the
House or Senate what should be done
All that he said was that the country expected
a downward revision OF the tariff and that the
pledge should be kept Taft was resourceful.

PROSPEROUS POLITICAL CLUB.

WE hear that the Democratic League is
w very prosperous these days The mem
bers have borrowed the pow from the Demo-
cratic ticket and have been cultivating a truck
patch. Maybe they are going to have some eN-
hbts at the county fair and show the other
farmers what a city farmer can do.
The League is enjoying what may be called
luxurious quarters for club and it has become
the leading Democratic organization of the
State. all due to the pluck of a band of devoted
members. What position it will occupy with
reference to the party politics may be ques-
ton. 1t will doubtless be the headquarters of
the party leaders when they visit the city the
