Because he Is not a reformer, but a demagogue. 11 is giand stand reform plays began in MM when he prepared and had circulated among city employes a written agreement thai they would accept less than the law allowed them for their compensation. His effort was to coerce these men into forfeiting their legal rights under dread of In ing published as unwilling to ad vance the movement for the reduction of city expenses. The courts made short work of this particular form of demagog ism, holding that city employes could not be deprived of their property by any such form of public coercion. His, latest appearance as a reform Watch dog h:>s been in connection with the payment of the teachers' salaries. The public is fa- Iniliar with the facts. Here again the «,u;ts threw him aside and ordered him to. do what demagogism alone kept him fi'.rn doing. His performances in the i».i«• of watch dog have cost the city loged watchfulness has saved. And he has kept the city and its people in hot water and fruitless litigation by his dem agoglsm for eight years. mand the attention of local yachtsmen. There are the interlake races at Lake Wis., and it will ba necessary lor the White Bear club to wipe out the defeats lust year of the Cavite and Xcnl;t. To this end it has built, in the seventeen foot class,- five new boats, the fastest of which, is is considered on good authority, will be swift enough to make It deelded- Jy«3nteresting for the best of them. The nteen-footerß at White Bear are prac tically finished, and will receive their in itial dip within the next two weeks. Of these, the one built for sale by John Johnson has been sold to Mr. E. H. Bai ley, who experts to take the boat to Min lietonka after the Ist of July, so that there will be but four left. It is hoped, however, that the Johnson boat will be given a chance against the otheis before It trues off the lake. By the Ist of May it is expected that* ;he lake will be studded with white wings jig-am. So far no boats have been placed In the water, and in this respect they much resemble the buds on the trees, they all conu out at once. • • » Mahtomedl Yacht club, about to be gin its thy-d season, also believes in ex pansion, and this year will present an increased number of boats. It also adds v sloop class, and retains the other class ' larks and cats. There is a prospect of from six to eight sloops entering the Mahtomedi races, and the interest has al ready assumed considerable proportions. There will probably be some difficulty ex perienced in classifying the boats, but uhe plan which will probably be adopted by the club will be to handicap the boats on performance. It is intended to race SMALL SICKNESSES. Do Rot Neglect Them; They Often Grow Into Larger One*. Piles are painful, persistent, hard to cure, but they can be cured. There is Just one remedy that will do it. It Is a recent discovery, but It has been on the market long enough to have the indorse ment of leading physicians and the rec ommendation of thousands of cured pa tients. Pyramid Pile Cure acts quickly and di rectly. It cures the cause of the trouble. Cures it so that the effect Is permanent. A great many salves and oinrments will give relief for a few minutes. That is not what is wanted. Pyramid Pile Cure will cure any sort of piles; blind, itching or bleeding. It will cure the lightest or the most aggravated case. The first applica tion will do more good than -a dozen box en of any of the many of the so-called cures now sold. Read these letters. They are from people who have trie.i it. Mr. J. W. Rollins, a gentleman living at Bweet Springs, Mo., writes briefly and to the point regarding his experience with piles. He says: I consider the Pyramid Pile Cure without an equal. It cured me In less than thirty days. I waited fifteen days or more to be sure the remedy had fully cured me before writing you. I can Bow say I am cured, and I shall recom ftiend the Pyramid Pile Cure at every twssible opportunity because it deserves ft. Miss Easter Nunley, of Tracy City, Term., writes: The Pyramid Pile Cure has done my sister more good than any thing she has ever taken. I have nothing but words of warm commendation for it. From J. D. Roberts, Mt. Mortah, Mo,: I have used the Pyramid Pile Cure and results have been entirely satisfactory. .There can be no question but that it is certain and lasting cure for pile 3, at least it has so proven in my case. -All druggists sell full-sized packages of Vyramld Pile Cure for 50 cents.

J. McCardy Should Be Defeated for Comptroller. Because he is a bitter and unscrupulous partisan. This he has shown throughout his pub lic career. During Wright's administra tion, when all the departments were in Republican control, he kept silent on all subjects which might compromise or f ni barrass his party associates in office. It was only when Robert A. Smith was elected mayor over Doran that he broke out as the "watchdog of the treasury." He then began the policy of petty perse cution of all Democrats who held ofl'ce, and directed all the force of his political malice to misrepresenting and distorting every official act of Mayor Smith and those associated with him. He never has rnTjgTtofl a single act, on the part of a Republican <.niceholde'r which was in dis regard of violation of law;, and is,one u( mote&irioney in litigation than, Ms al the chief defenders on the stump at the ■present moment of the council and incom petent administration at present in pow er. He has cast his political fortunes with his fellow Republican politicians, and he should be overwhelmed by the same fate which awaits them. them with the handicap computed at the start, and have ;the boats finish as closely as possible. With the material on hand there will not be a great variance-in sped, and it is more than probable that the handicaps, if any are allowed at'all, will be small. So far as can now be figured there will be between twenty and twenty-five boats available for all the classes. The first race will be on Decoration day, and the official races will begin on June 2. • ♦ * The sloop Hornet, equipped with silk sails, two Jibs, ballast, air chambers, sound mast, spars, etc., and in splendid condition, is reported for rent or sale. The boat is thoroughly sound and can be used for -both racing and pleasure, and may be seen at the Mahtomedi yards. Inquiry may be made to H. W. Dresen, 101 East Fourth street, St. Paul. TWIN CITY LEAGUE. Opening Game of Regular Schedule at Lexington Park Today. Today Is the dale set for the opening of the Twin City Baseball league series, and the game at Lexington Park will be between the teams from Lennon & Gib bons and the Palace Clothing house, of Minneapolis. It will be called at 3 o'clock, and Frank McCarthy, for some years . a member of the St. Paul league team, will act as um pire. These two teams have not met in the preliminary games thus far played, so it will be an opportunity for the fans to get a line on the strength of the Minne apolis team against tbe St. Paul clothiers. i With anything like good weather, it is expected that the park, which has been completely overhauled and put in first class shape, will be crowded with enthu siasts. The grand stand has been newly painted and will be open to all who buy admissions, as it has been decided to charge but one price of admission, while the ladies will be admitted without charge. > Claytor and Dahlquist will be in the points for the local clothiers, while Hlckey will pitch for the visitors, and will be caught by either Kelsey or Tuf ton. Dahlquist, who is to pitch for Lennon & Gibbons, is said to be a comer, having pitched excellent ball lor the Webster, S. D., nine for several years. The batting order is as follows: Lennon & Gibbons Palace.. Clayior. c. Kelsey, c. O'Malley, c. Hickey. p. Dahlquist, p. Berg, ss. Smith, p. Desintile, lb. Martin lb. Larson, 2b. Hart, 2b..

Because he juggled his opinions and his figures so as to convey the idea to the voters that he alone stands be-^ tween the city and its plunder by its own servants and citizens. This is the chief end held steadily In view by this clever and unscrupulous politician. The schools represent his favorite means for carrying out this idea. In September last he audited the pay rolls of the school department and the teachers were paid. In October he refused to audit them, because the char ter forbade It. No opinion of the city attorney could influence him. He was the watch dog and he proposed to make it plain. He compelled the teachers t*> sue .for their salaries, and' the supreme court, of course, again made short work of this particular one of his grand stand plays. Again: When the school board determined to close up the schools on his warning that the school fund was exhausted he found within twenty-four hours $72,000 which he could credit to the fund. He was afraid of the conse quences. Again: He paid $90,000 of cer- II ISIHII WHY THE LIMITED-ROUND BOXING MATCH WILL NEVER GROW IN POPULARITY M'GOVERN FAILURE A SETBACK Why There Should Be a Decision In Every Hoxinn Mateh—Auspi cious Opening: of the Bnaeball Season. All the uncertainty of a boxing match— the essence of Interest in it—is eliminated by the Jimit placed upon the number of rounds the men are to go. This assertion will be indignantly disputed by. the men who are in the game for the gold, and not for the sport. But it is the truth, nevertheless, and they, as well as the supporters of boxing, know it. A crust of bread is better than no bread. The wounded soldier, on the battlefield, toss ing and rolling about in the agony of fever and thirst, feels a hard substance beneath his shattered shoulder. Painfully he grasps it with the free hand, to find that it is a canteen —and not an empty one! Out comes the stopper. He finds on his parched lips a few spoonfuls of tepid water. Eagerly it is swallowed, and with a sigh of relief the sufferer falls back and sleeps. And so it is With boxing. A little boxing i s preferable to no boxing—yet the limited-round bout is not a fair test of the superiority of the respective contes tants, M'GOVERN'S SETBACK. The failure of Terry McGovern to win, and decisively, over Tommy White, in their recent contest In Chicago, is a pres ent Illustration of what is to follow when boxing matches are cut to the limit, where there is little likelihood of a finish or a decisive result in the time allotted. Me- Governs loss of prestige is greater than even he will admit. His record contains the blot: "Draw with Tommy White." Sul livan was never so fdrmidable after as before his unfortunate meeting with Charley Mitchell at Chantilly. And Sul livan was the limited-round premier of the age. He did not ask six rounds. Four satisfied him. He contented that if he could not defeat a man In four rounds he could not vanquish him In a dozen, or a YIN MARIANI Mariani Wine—World Famous Tonic Before Meals, APPETIZER After Meals, DIGESTIVE 'At All Times, TONIC All Druggists.

KM* tjficates of Indebtedness fKom the school fund, using the money raised for main taining the certificate,- of -, indebtedness fund in other departments to make a good showing. He thus to extent depleted the school fund and crippled the schools, while stuffing the reporters with the idea that he had saved the city just $90,000. REASON 4. Because he juggles his official figures so as to make them promote any view of city affairs which he chooses to present or__to sustain any action he chooses to take. ■ Here is but a single example of the many that n\hjht be given. In 1892 the council passed, dif ecling* the city comptroller to cancePalf ijnsuVance on school buflEdihgs- and 'in order to create a. fund for rebuilding in case of fire ordered $5,000 placed .in an insurance fund each year. The comptroller in mak ing up his tax estimate each year made provision for the $5,000 to be placed in the fund, but when the council came to ap- finish. But Sullivan was in a class by himself. There are no Sullivans in the ring today. MUST BE DECISIONS. Ttoe limited-round battle, however, is all that the lover of the game can expect, and so he must Insist that it be made as attractive as possible. There must,, be no agreements between principals. The referee must say which is entitled to a decision. If there be ,a dyoubt, he must give the contestants the benefit of it, and declare the event a draw. But there must be no more understandings, as there was in the McGovern T Vnite affair, and in the McGovern-Santry match that pre ceded it. Hisses gree { les', the announce ment at-Chicago that if t>oth men were on their feet at the ;termination of the six rounds there wouldi be no decision. Had the referee been eiaUed upon to give a verdict In the McGoverii. LWhite battle, he would have awarded the Victory to Mc- Govern. That would f.hav# saved the champion from the blanks mark of a draw. And It would have beeri _■«, just decision, according to the reports of the battle, and the admission of White that McGovern is his superior as a boxer. .It matters not who requested that ttiere.be no decision In event of both men being ready to con tinue at the termination of the six rounds. The error was in the damage done the sport by such agreements. —Willie Green. Aqueduct Races.

Asked as to the reason for the deficiency of $10,000, Comptroller McCardy blandly in formed the council that in some of the years he had decided that It would not be necessary ~to increass the fund, and consequently had not done as the council directed. REASON K. Because he uses his office to advance hjs own political fortunes. Here. ig_a single, instance: Over $1,000, --000 in certificates of indebtedness is is sued every year. It was the practice when Comptroller McCardy assumed the duties of the office eight years ago to ad vertise for bids and sell the certificates to the highest bidder. The certificaltes drew under the law not to exceed 6 per cent Interest. As soon as he was fairly in the saddle he had the ordinance au thorizing the issuance of the certificates changed so as U>. allow city officials to dispose of the certificates.

NEW YORK, April 21.—Spike Sullivan got the decision over Young Starr, of Philadelphia, at the Greenwood Athletlo club, Brooklyn, tonight. he has had the sole disposition of $1,000, --000 in bonds annually, and this power, it is urged, is too much to give any official, whether he be. the "watch dog of the treasury" o r any one else. He holds the whip over the heads of ithe other members of the office-holding combine, so that while they detest him, they dare not withhold a renomination from him. REASON 6. Because he has terrorized the Repub lican politicians and office-holders, so that however illegal or hurtful any action of his may be, they are afraid to question it. Here is an example: The entire issue of the tax levy certificates of Indebtedness for the year 1899 were made invalid by his action. The charter provides that none of the certificates shall be issued to become due later than in November of the year following that in which the es timate was made. In December, 1898, the comptroller sent to the council an ordi nance providing for the tax estimate for 1899. Under the charter this action had the effect of making all 'the certificates issued due not later than Nov. 15, 1899. GOLF AND GOLFERS.

Because he arrogates to himself pow ers which the law does not give him, and which are against the public Interest. The- charter provides in most explicit : terms that no warrant shall be drawn on th<.> city 'treasury unless the council has first passed a resolution directing the same by a two-thirds vote of each body. In June, 1899, Comptroller Mc- Cardy, without any authority, drew a draft on city funds in the National Ger man-American bank for $119,007 to pur chase certain bonds. On his return to j St. Paul he again, without any authority, drew a %ai*rant in favor of the bank for tthe amount to cover up the first illegal action. The council has called on the corporation attorney to report as to the legality of this action, but no report has been made.
