POLITICAL) GOSSIP.
"For comptroller, Samuel H. Nich
ols." . i
According to the latest and most
authentic reports, the Republican slate
at the present time reads as above
quoted. Whether the Republican ticket
■will so. read next Tuesday is quite a
different matter, mid depends not a little
x.pon the size and extent of the "swipe"
iho rank and file of -the Republicans of
St. Paul get at the slate delegate tick
ets on Monday evening at the primaries.
But why shouldn't Sam Nichols run
for comptroller of. St. Paul on the Re
publican ticket. Mom than any other
member of the party in this city he rep
resents the principle of "holding office
lor what there is in it.'* and the "boys"
could depend on having v high old time
with $ Nidiol * in the office now tilled
by Honest John Roche. But there are
Beveral other reasons why Mr. Nichols
«»ueht to run for comptroller. They are,
briefly stated:
1. The indorsement of the present
state administration which would be
Implied in the nomination of tlie gov
ernor's oil inspector.
2. It would give added emphasis to
the statement that the Nichols family
must be kept in office by the Republican
party.
In connection with Oil Inspector
{■Samuel's caudidacy and running qual
ities, it might be Interesting to note the
fact that his son, Willie, once ran for
clerk of the district court of Ramsey
county.
The Republican slatetnakers have
dnriuE }hv past few days been especially
active in circulating the report that
G. J. Lotnen had withdrawn from the
fight for the nomination for municipal
judge— and on all the slate tickets the
names of Judge Burr and Hiler 11.
ilortoi) appear. Mr. Lomen objects to
being pushed aside in this summary
manner, and has sent the Globk tlie
following note:
To (lie Editor of the Olobc.
1 am a candidate for municipal judge, all
nlleged rumors to the contrary notwithstand
ing—subject, however, to the notion of thu
ttepublicitu city convention. Respectfully,
G. J. Lomkn.
St. Paul, Minn., April 5, 189 D.
Another Scandinavian candidate
pulled down since $ Nichol ? took hold
of the Republican city committee is Dr.
Sandberg, of the Third ward, who was
come time ago indorsed by the .Scandi
navian Independent club of the ward.
Well, the slatemakers have dropped
him, but it's dollars to doughnuts that
he gets the nomination to-morrow night.
"A. good Democrat never fails to obey
the call of his party," said Judire D. A.
,J. Baker to a little crowd at the Mer
chants' yesterday. ".Before the Demo
cratic city convention my son Dan told
me that Judire Flandrau would decline
to run for alderman at lajee. I said, 'I
Know better. Judge Flandrau, of
course, don't want to run. ami would
probably rather give £500 to help the
light aloug tlian to run himself, but if
the party nominates him he will ac
cept.' This is just what he did. I
know a good Democrat," said the ven
erable judge in conclusion, as he
"shook" the crowd and moved off to
wards the Eleventh ward.
The nomination papers of Judge Fred
3S T elson were filed In the ofiice of the
city cleric yesterday for the ofiice of
judge of the municipal court. The
number of signers was oO'X Otto L.
Ilaesc, who took the acknowledgements,
says that two-fifths of the signers are
.Swedes, two-fifths Norwegians and
Germans, and the remaining one-fifth
Irish and Americans.
Maj. T. M. Newson will be the Re
publican candidate for alderman in the
Fifth ward. The major is again in hard
luck, as the ward will easily give 800
Democratic majority. Where is that
consulate.
J. M. Bohrer last evening, in response
to a petition from friends and support
ers,announced his candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for city treasurer.
The Scandinavian Republicans of the
First ward are not willing to give John
Copelancl awalk-over.and will endeavor
to smash the slate to-morrow Blent with
Charles Wallblom. The slate is liable
to be badly shattered in every direction.
Marcus Johnson says the Democratic
ticket is a hard one to beat. He thinks
such men as Flandrau are very stroug.
William M. Campbell says the Demo
cratic ticket is a splendid one. Tuere
is no question that the city ticket will
be elected, including the aldermen at
large. The Republicans cannot put up
a man to beat Bob Smith. It may be
there will be some cutting in some
wards for aldermen, but the Democrats
will be successful in securing a ma
jority in the council.

Case of a Young- Lad Whose
Reward Seems a Hard
One.
The lire department of St. Paul is an
ami of the administration, to the ex
cellence of which it is scarcely neces
sary to call attention. It has never
been made the object of attack, or even
of hostile criticism, but its record is a
part of the record of the present ad
ministration, which is directly rcsponsi- j
ble for its successful and economical con
duct. The St. Paul department has al
ways been regarded as a model, and for
years comparisons were made with
other cities of the same relative import
ance, for the purpose of exploiting the
efficiency and economy of the home in
stitution; but, perfect as the force had
always seemed, Chief John Jackson has I
succeeded in raising it still higher. The

The good work St. Paul has accom
plished in fire fighting is due almost
solely to the discipline and efficiency of
the department, and not to the use of
more or bettev mechanical appliances
or a larger manual force. It is a fact
that probably not a single city in the
United States of the size of St. Paul
but has a larger uniformed department, '
and more fire fighting machises. The
following tables institutes a-'coiftpari
son with Milwaukee, Minneapolif^and
St. Paul, this trio having been selected
because they are practically of one size,
and their data was readily obtainable.

In scanning comparative statements of
this character it must be remembered
that the St. Paul department has under
its charge a much larger built-over
territory — the midway district— than
either of the other cities named, and it
was a notable fact that several of the
largest fires of ' last year were where
water was either unobtainable and
the fire itself was exceedingly
difficult of access. Under the
first head came the Van Hovcn packing
honse fire, of a year ago, and the St.
Paul roller mill last November. In the
In the first case, the nearest fire hydrant

the peculiar location of the mill on the
bluff rendered the work of the firemen
extremely hazardous; and yet in this
fire, hi savins: the large elevator, the de
partment accomplished one of the best
pieces of work of the year. There has
always been another obstacle to success
ful fire fighting in St. Paul and that was
the electric wire nuisance in the busi
ness center. The force of this state
ment will be apparent to all who wit
nessed the burning of the Omaha rail
road offices in January of last year.
The general service of the fire depart
ment, its discipline and efficiency have
not been referred to in this connection
because of any criticism that has been
or may be made, but simply because the
department is a piece of the present
Democratic oity administration of St.
Paul, and the whole is judged by the
parts, as it is made up of parts. The
fire department's record is simply an
anothcr unanswerable argument in
favor of the continuance in power of the
party that gave and is responsible for
the present administration.
FRIENDS ARE ELATED
At the Success of the University
Extension Classes Thus Far.
The university extension classes
started two weeks ago under the
auspices of the St. Paul Academy of
Science, are now hard at work. Every
Monday evening at S o'clock six rooms
in the central high school building are
filled with "grown-up folks," who
wrestle earnestly with questions of
science, history and mathematics. A
grave professor from the state univer
sity, or one of the neighboring colleges,
leads otf with a three-quarter-hour
lecture on some topic of the subject the
class have pledged themselves to study
for twelve weeks. After this follows
another three-quarter-hour period of
questions on, and discussion of, the
lecture of the previous week. Theu
each member ot the class is given a

syllabus containing a synopsis of the
'evening's lecture, a bibliography for
further reading«on the topic, and a se
ries of questions to which wiitten an-
Wers may be handed in.
The 200 men and women who are
doing this work have "gotten together"
trom two different sourcts. First, the
academy of science sent out several
weeks ago invitations, which it still
continues, to all persons who wanted to
study any university subject to hand in
their names, with first and second
choice of work. The responses war
ranted the starting of classes in history,
geohjfey, botany and electricity. But of
those who Mien stood alone in their re
quests for certain lines of work, G. W.
McCnee, of the Great Northern shops,
has since gotten enough others to join
him to form a class in applied me
chanics, and P. H. Morouey, of the
postotlice, to form a class in mathema
tics.
Others are interesting themselves to
form classes in other branches, and at
the opening of the new term next Sep
tember, it is probable that several new
lines of work will begin. The academy
requires that each class shall consist of
at least twenty-live students, each of
whom shall pay a fee of S2 for the
twelve weeks" course; and pledges itself
to secure as an instructor the most com
petent man obtainable in the state, and
to bear all sundry expenses. It is en
abled to do this through its membership
fees and the aid of several business
men who are interested in the move
ment.
The entire business management
rests with the executive board of the
Academy of Science, consisting of Piiu
cipai G. N. Carman, liev. E. C.Mitch
ell, Dr. P. U. Millard, Attorney M. D.
Mu nn, Miss Sarah E. Peabody and
Messrs. J. D. Ludden, 11. W. Smith and
L. B. Wilson.
Professors from all the neighboring
universities and colleges have promised
their support as a corps of instructors.
In the work already begun. Prof. 11. P.
Judsou is instructor in history, Prof. L.
\V. Ohaney in geology, Prof. John H.
Barr in applied mechanics, Prof. Fred
S. Jones in electricity, Prof. Conwav
MacMillan in botany, and Prof. J. IL
Boyd in mathematics. Profs. Judson
Barr, Jones and MacMillian are from
the state university. Prof. Chancy from
Carleton college, and Prof. Boyd from
Macalester college.
Tlie frie nds oi the movement have
reason to feel elated at the success that
has been met with at the very start, and
the outlook for the future bids fair to
fulfill their most sanguine hopes.
A ROUGH REWARD.
Facts Which, If Correct, Would
-'Warrant Investigation.
In the police court yesterday morn
ing.a fifteen-year-old boy, whose name
is Sammy A. Johnson, was sentenced to
fifteen days in the workhouse . for
drunkenness. The officer appearing
I against him claimed that lie arrested
Sammy on West Seventh street because
lie was drunk and boisterous. The dis
position of the boy was the result of his
perplexity under such circumstances,
and thinking a stretch of honesty would
free . him he pleaded guilty, was sen
tenced : and hustled off to the work
house. . , ■ ,
Sammy Johnson is the son of the
boatman, Johnson, who so generously
assisted in the search for the man who
suicided last Saturday night by jump
ing into the river. All day last Sunday
Sammy rowed his boat up and down the
river dragging for the man, for whom
the authorities refused, or at least neg
lected to search. Sammy con
tinued his search during the en
tire week, but his efforts were
futile because the authorities refused to
furnish- him with a grappling hook.
Friday afternoon Sammy was urged to
again drag tor the body. This he did.
and for his good work he was crowned
with the misfortune of falling over
board. Drenched and half drowned, he
managed to reach the shore. When
again on terra firma his companions
helped him up to a saloon on the upper
levee, where the proprietor was invoked
to compound a decoction for i the sick
freezing boy. He was given a drink,
and when his clothes were dry he was
prevailed upon to swallow another dose
of bad liquor. This had the effect of
crazing the boy, who then started for
home on a "jag." The policeman saw
the "jag," and hustied Sammy into the
pen. Sammy Johnson, though poor, is
an honest lad of fifteen years, and his
unfortunate incarceration is the reward
he gets for serving the county in look
ing'for a dead • body, which was decom
posing in our midst, when the paid offi
cials of this city were derelict enough
to neglect it. Sammy's mother is dead,
and tiis father is a lone fisherman, and
now sick a-bed, who can ill afford to
dispense with Sammy's help.

ROASTED TO A TURN.
Citizens of the Second Ward
Are Very Hot in the
Collar.
They Kick Strongly Against
Kelly and the Syndicate
Crowd.
The Independent Candidate
Plainly Told That He Is
Not Wanted.
Unanimous Indorsement of
Fred Bott, the Democratic
Nominee.
There was a rousing political rally
last "evening at 774 East Seventh street
iii support of Fred W.Bot^'s candidacy
for the aldurmanic representation of the
Second . ward. T lie ; ; lin.lt was crowded
with electors, every "one Qf" them eager
to demonstrate their loyalty to the Dem
ocratic candidate. The citizens of the
Second ward are thoroughly alive to the
importance of the election before them,
and, if last night's meeting is any cri
terion, .there Is a strong determination
, to upset the syndicate riris which has
ruled the blutE (and bled it, too), for
i these nianyjyears. Last night's , meet
ing bodes no good for any so-called in
dependent candidate. The gauntlet
has \> been \ thrown down by a
self-constituted clique, who think,
because they have secured a
fair share of the -good things ot this
world, that what they say is law- that
the ordinary workingman is a mere vas
sal, allowed to work for a bare living
and vote according to the dictates of his
alleged superiors. But the Second ward
is " truly "aflame." : ' Its citizens have
readily • taken up the gannftlet thrown
down, and will tisht to the last ditch in
opposition to the candidate which a
moneyed aristocracy : is attempting to
thrust down their throats. Take for ex
ample the meeting of last evening. Dr.
E. X. Ainoss was to have presided, but
was unavoidably called to attend "a
case." F. S. Schift man . Iwlj therefore
the honor to preside over the gathering.
P. It. Seannell was tiie tir. st to speak
He arraigned the syndicate candidate
in fine style, his points being warmly
indorsed by the electors. There were,
he said, plenty of men in the ward
capable of representing it in the coun-:
cil chamber whose' laundry was not
branded "0. K. P. H. K." .
Frank F. Price followed in a long ad
dress. He roasted the head and front
of the syndicate— l. 11. Kelly— to a turn,
and referred to the petition nominating
Mr. lieed ag^the syndicate ; candidate.
There was among.theJnanies that of G.
F.^Kuhles; *WlK>f-wastliis Mr. Kuhlt'S?
Was tie a resident of tiie ward? No;
his residence was. either 421 or 451
Laurel avenue, "in i another ward.
[Laughter.j The only connection
Mr. KuhleS; ,had with the ward
was ; that ■- ; lite ■ partner resided
on Maria avenue. Mr. Reed
was solely and purely the representa
tive of the East side syndicate. [Cries
of "That's it."] P. 11. Kelly . ana
James Middleton were the prime mov
ers in Mr. Reed's candidacy. Mr. Mid
dleton was the gentleman .who said he
was a good Democrat, having voted the
ticket before he was tweutyjrone years
of . age. Air. Middleton should have
kept such a statement to himself, for in
making it-public, he in- other words de
clared he had committed perjury.; Was
Mr. Middleton then a keutleman whom
the citizens of Dayton's bluff should
follow blindly. [(Jries "No, we want
none such of a fellow, '] There were
one . or i, two^.sikelptonsi' in the :
cupboard of these i¥iemberS6f the sy"r>
didate which, if brought out to the
public gaze, might have a very deter
rent effect upon their followers in the
Second ward. The buildim: of schools
and the taking of land in the name of
R. A. Smith, Philadelphia, etc.— these
were things which, when brought home,
were very telling, and which Messrs.
Kelly, Middleton and party would hear
more about before the Oth of May.
[Loud applause.] '
Cries were raised for Fred D. Bott.
Three cheers were raised for the candi
date as lie rose to respond, lie . spoke
as follows: ..„,-, ■, •...*,■
- Mr. Chairman, Fellow Citizens of the
Second Ward: X- i» ust say that I. am
deeply affected this demonstration of
your contidenceT^ud esteem. . When 1
came here to-night I hardly expected to
meet so many of my fellow- citizens.
Indeed, I do not accept tliis al ogether.
as being a personal compliment , but I
take it as .indication tltat the people
of Dayton's bluff are thoroughly
aroused as ? to .the importance of' ; tiie
coming election. [Applause.] ;! When I
decided to accept the Democratic nomi
nation for alderman 1 did so with a full
sense or the responsibility that I was
about to assume, but at the time I did
not realize how great that re
sponsibility would become. , Now
that the plans of >,'- the - opposition
have beeu developed and somewhat
exposed 1 find myself placed before tha
people of i his ward as their champion
against a syndicate. [Applause.] That
is something I did not expect; however,
1 shall remain in the field and meet this
wealth and powerful corporation and
fight your battle to '-■ the > best of my
ability. (Cries of "Good for Bott" and
cheers.] They met on Wednesday last,
and before ; the gentlemen adjourned
they had raised a campaign fund
amounting to about $1,100; and all that
to defeat a poor fellow like me. [Cries,
of "shame,"] 1 have not got the inoney
but Ido believe I have got the con
tience of this ward.[Loud applause.] U
nless lam mistaken,the teniperamentof
the people at this time is such that this
syndicate can no longer rule Dayton's
bluff. This syndicate owns a great deal
of property which they want to saddle
on the poor people. [Voice, "They'll
never do it," and applause.] 1 claim
they have gone too far already. It is
true, we called a halt. [Renewed ap
plause.] ■; 1 came to-night to state just
"what position 1 would take if elected to
the council. . lam not the candidate of
any cliaue ior faction or party. lam
proud that the Democracy of this ward
have sufficient confidence in me to give :
me the nomination : but if I go to the
council 1 shall use my utmost endeav
ors to secure better street car facilities.
[Applause.] -Jl r sbali . also endeavor to
secure better lights for you, and I trust
that the people who send me there will
lend me every assistance in their power
to accomplish these good results.
Mr. Bott resumed his seat amid loud
enthusiasm. Benn Davis received - a
call for a speech, and he declared i that
the fight was not one between Mr. Bott
and Mr. Reed— it was really a question
of aristocracy . against democracy. ' It
was not necessary that en - aristocracy,
should be au aristocracy of blood. We
had done away in this country with an
aristocracy of blood, but let us beware
lest we raise up instead an aristocracy
much more disgraceful and much more
tyrannical, an aristocracy of money. -
- Other stirring speeches were delivered
by H. L. Gray, Peter Anderson, Peter
Bott, W. M. Frank, C. Robinson and F.
McDonald. H. L. Gray remarked that
the East Side syndicate had invited Mr.
Leithauser to a certain : house after his
election, and sought to get him to pledge
himself to support their interests. Aid.
Leithauser was present, and corrobor
ated tnis - statement. He ; added when
the . proposition was . : made ■■ to him he -
took up his hat and left the house. -
The meeting was brought to a fitting
conclusion with three . cheers and- a

SAVE YOUR EYES
Do you appreciate how many eyes are fn
jured by improperly fitted specs? An opti
cian should understand the science of optics,
and unless he does so, should never sell
glasses, any more than a fjuact 6hould prac
tice medicine. ; . ■>;;- ■'-.-
Moral : Have your glasses fitted by a com
petent optician. Having made a careful
study of the subject myself, and haying a
regular graduate in my employ, I solicit your
orders. .- Prescriptions tilled . for. special
