Thk Eastern papess say that the great reduction made by their roads in the fare to Chicago has had the effect of crowding all trains with people going; to the fair. This is a hint for our North western roads. <^fc> A fkw days ago the Chlcaco Times asserted that ex-President Harrison engaged in a little beer-drinking at Chi cago; and now the Chicago_Dispatch says he has been drinking Scotch whisky. The Presbyterian church must look into this case. Congressman Pkndletox, of Texas, proposes to introduce a bill in congress at the next session providing for the free coinage of silver at 100 cents' worth of silver to the dollar. The Omaha Bee and many other .Republican papers, which have vigorously opposed the tree coinage of silver, assert that they would favor such a bill as the one proposed. Dn:ixc the past year about 400,000 immigrants have come to the United States. Out of this number 4,155 have settled in the South, and the others have found homes in the West. The Baltimore American thinks the reason the Southern states do not immigra tion is "because they do not advertise for it." , -. • The Omaha Bee says: "James J. Hill appears to be exceedingly popular everywhere, and yet for some reason Western railroad magnates do not seem anxious to extend to him the hand of fel lowship. Very good reason why. Mr. Hill is in position to knock the thrones from under a good many of them. They must dance to his music whenever he sees fit to make them. It is just possible that these Metho dist brethren who propose to institute a Methodist boycott of the world's fair on account of the Sunday opening will find, when it is too late, that they have brought into action a two-edged tool. They will run a great risk of stirring up such a feeling against them that there will be a good many empty pews in some of tiie churches, and a great reduction of receipts when the hat and subscription papers are passed around. It should not have needed a su preme court to declare that a man who has had opportunities to witness the acts, "speech and manner of another man is qualified to testify whether, iv his opinion, the man is drunk or not. ~ And yet a district judge in Duluth, by a contrary holding, imposed on the su preme court the necessity of so ruling. It is not to our credit, of course; but it is a fact that experience has made •very man, whether a drinker or not, an. expert in the appearances' and effects of intoxication. Ideas of what being drunk is have a very wide range, how ever. VWe recall instance where a witness restiffed that lie considered a man drunk only when he laid down on tiie ground and held on to keep from falling off. '■.:■'"■/'__■'■ .«». A. stakl; ,ALL round. The last two meetings of the St. Paul conference committee must have made the public pretty. \v<.'ll aware that four of our city departments have gotten themselves into an awkward mess, through spending too much of their moneys during the lirst five months of the year. And it must be very clear to our mayor that it is a good deal sweeter to dream of "reform" than -to execute one. ' The net result of the former of the two meetings was the bringing to litrht of the situation, and the net result i of the hitter was the-proving that the president of the conference committee is a good deal better mathematician than the president of the fire board. , Theconferciicecouimitteehaa bumped up against the situation, looked at it. stared at it, looked at itself, stared at itself; and there you are— still staring. And the four departments concerned are also staring. We have a city cliar ter that -was passed in IS:U, the pro visions of which are elastic as cast iron. These departments have operated under it two years— long enough to be come experienced— and how they came to spend nearly two-thirds of their allowance for the year iv the first five months causes the public to stare. It was proposed at both meetings by som? of trie members that the only way out of the dilemma was to cut down the forces of the departments. But the mayor would give neither ear to the plan. He thinks the city cannot afford to do without a single chemical com pany of the fire department; and as for lopping off any of his picked captains, lieutenants and sergeants of the police departments, he would as soon think of resigning as to hear to it. He. pioposed that enough money be voted to him as a mayor's contingent fund to help the de partments through; but our unmerciful comptroller replied that it was "not so nominated in the bond"— it was directly against the charter to do so. To give the mayor a hint of the position he placed himself in by making the propo sition, it is well to quote the following provision of the charter from the chap ter which relates to these city depart ments: "Any vote or act of any member of the common council, or of said officers, or other otlicer of said city, made or done with a will ful intent 1b evade the provisions of this chapter or said charter, or to divert the funds raised by taxation or pledged by ordinance to a specific purpose, is hereby declared to be malfeasance in office, and, upon convic tion thereof, such- officer shall be removed from office and be punished by a fine not ex ceeding 55.000, or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding three years.'' The allowances made to these depart ments are the maximum amounts under the law, and the charter expressly pro hibitstheir obtaining . any more from any other city source. There are but throe possible ways out of the mess: Either the forces must be reduced, the salaries must be cut, or both these methods must be adopted. If, as the mayor says, it is not possible to do with less firemen and less po licemen, then the only thing left to do is to reduce the salaries all along the lines. Of course some one or more of our wealthy citizens may be good enough to hand oi\i the money needed to help the departments to the end of the year; but, if this is done, it will be equal to donating that much to the city, and it is not likely that any are quite so charitably inclined. The tax collections are naturally a good deal lighter, this year than usual. It would be very singular if they were not. under the uneasy situation which has i >r some months beeu prevalent throughout the nation. This condition was apparent to the departments, and they should have known that it was ab solutely necessary to run their affairs upon the strictest economy. it is proba ble that the managing boards of the de partments will learn from this experi ence that their affairs cannot be run j upon the basis of what they desire to : do, but upon what they must do. «» INGALLS ■ AND THK NEGRO. When a statesman loses his job he be comes a philosopher, if. he retain sweet ness enough to prevent the acid of dis appointment from souring his views of humanity. lie comes to his new sphere of activity freed from the demands of a partisanship which obliges him to laud one party and denounce the other, to be standing ever in an attitude which ' "points with pride" to the action of ni3 party and "views with alarm" the ac tion of the opposition. He comes into a clearer light, in which he sees the mistakes of all and their virtues with impartial glance, and to a courage and disinterestedness which permit him to speak frankly of both. In losing his job as a statesman, Joiix J. Ingalls has gained the compensa tiou of philosophic candor. As a states man he defended the paternalism of his party, which would prescribe chan nels for the industries of men; as a philosopher he told the Minnesota legis lature that governments were not insti tuted to prescribe what men shall eat and wear and drink. As a statesman he supported the policy of his party in its legislation intended for the benefit of the negro; as a philosopher he ad mits the utter failure of its projects. As a statesman ho upbraided the South for its strenuous resistance to the reconstruction acts and the enfranchisement of the negro; as a statesman out of a job he sees and admits, that, whatever be the source of the impulse, the white mam North or South, will never submit to conditions of political or other equality with his black brothers. From sharing with his party the view that the South only is culpable for all the evils that have come from the negro graft upon our national life, he now can chide the untruth, and remind his fellows that New England -retained slavery as lone as there was profit la it; and he might have added that it was New England that, finding its profit in trading Jamaica rum for captive negroes on the African coast to be sold in Southern marts, opposed the abolition of the traffic, and Secured the 180S compromise. -- Admitting the tailure of the efforts of his party to place the negro on a plane with the whites, seeing that this is due to causes beyond the reach of legisla tion, and that the attempt rn\s only brought disaster iv which the negro has caught the larger share, he leaves his philosophy aud goes back to his states manship for a remedy for the evil con ditions which prevail and which becloud the future with trouble and danger; "Exile, deportation, expatriation," is the only remedy he finds. Send them back to Africa with all the benefits they have received from their contact with the whites, to mingle with their kind there, and help them to solve the prob lem which the dark continent presents to humanity. Mr. Ingalls", in common with his party, surrenders his judgment to his sentiments whenever the negro comes in question. He does it now in this, his remedy, As a sentiment it is poetical; -" - ' . ' - .■ "' ■" ■ ■■ " * ■■ ■ THE SAINT PAUL DAILF GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 23,3 1893. as a practical measure it is Impractica ble and impossible. The negro is in this country to stay. He is needed in the South. It cannot spare him. He would not leave it except under com pulsion. He must make his own future; work out the problem himself and by himself. What present evils exist there as the result of his precipitate change from slavery to freedom and enfran chisement must be cured by the action of time working out the adjustment of relations between the two races. True kindness to the negro will be to let him alone. The help given him has only hurt him and been useless. Agitation will only irritate conditions: keep hands and tongue off, and let nature work a cure for the mischief men's med dling has wrought. THE PACIFIC CUT RATE. There is an apparent rate war on be tween the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads. It is hoped, however, that it is not a rate war, but a mere coining down of both roads 10 a point not below what they can afford to carry the people for, but such as will greatly increase the volume of travel; for no one in this vicinity desires our railways to carry the traffic at rates ruinous to themselves. No rate war which brings the fares below the point of profit is beneficial either to the roads concerned or the communities. However, it is doubtful that the latest cut announced by the Great Northern, and which has been met by the Northern Pacific,is below a paying basis. It is reported that a leading official of the former company has said that the company is very gratified with the results of the reduced rates. Their trains are going and coming crowded with passengers. This paper has ex pressed the belief that the lowest rates possible to be made and return reason able profit would result in earning much more for the transcontinental lines than the old and very hifh rates; and it is hoped that the companies will become so thoroughly convinced of this that they will gladly keep the rates down. Just what effect the latest cut will have upon the Union and Southern Pa cific lines it is difficult to say; but it is very likely that, they will have to come somewhere near meeting it. Sit is very apparent that Mr. Hill is the master of tits-situation. His road is In position to handle the traffic profitably at a figure which wouli very likely be disastrous to the other lines. It is not likely, thoush, that he has any %esire to drive them to the wall, but more piobable that he only wishes to get the rates down to a firm foundation, and where they will bs the most profit able for his line and the people who con tribute to its support. He is prepared to dictate the rates which must govern about ail the lines, and it is not to be supposed that if a 525 first-class rate to and from the coast will return a larger profit than a 860 rate, he will have any disposition to go back to the old price. Whatever rata proves to be the most profitable will, in all probability, be the one he will maintain. AN UNPOPULAR TAX. Those of its contemporaries whose comments on the proposition of the Globe that any deficit iv the federal revenues arising from the insufficiency of the tariff aud internal taxes should be made up by a direct tax levied 'on tha states we have seen, have not dis cussed the merits of the question, but have dismissed it mainly v»ith the re mark that it is an unpopular tax. The Globe will bo pleased to be told of a tax popular with those who pay it. The excise taxes, fulling in the first Instance on a class, are not popular with them, though the public esteem them because they imagine the tax rests where it first falls, and are blissfully ignorant that it is shifted off onto themselves, with con siderable increment. The tariff had to be sugar-coated by its advocates with catching phrases about protection and home industries and labor and home markets and all that rot. When this co.iting began to wear off, and the patient got the taste of the bitter truth underneath, then our friends were driven to the resource of hypnotizing the patient into a belief that "the foreigner pays the tax." If this is true, it is the only popular tax we know of, if we may judge from the ncieasing avidity with which the for eigners send us goods so that they can pay it. If popularity is to be the test by which to measure tax methods, then our critics should give a hearty support instead of their fierce denunciations to the income tax, whose popularity with the masses, provided it is made to hit those whose incomes imply unusual wealth, is undoubted. Of course, it would not be so popular if its incidence could be seen by them, but they do not and cannot or will nut see it, and hence it is popular with those who do not pay it. The Globe does not believe in court ing popularity in any method of taxa tion except that true popularity which comes from the general acceptance of a method as fair and just and as equally distributive ot its burden as can be by any mechanism of human devising. It opposes all kinds of indirect taxation for the reason that none of them merit that kind of popularity. It opposes any tariff tax because it exempts wealth and makes mau's needs the measure of his tax burden. It opposes income taxes and gross earnings taxes on cor porations because they exempt entirely the properties from taxation by en abling them to pass the tax on to those from whom the incomes and gross earn ings are derived. The ability to shift the tax on incomes increases with the income. Incomes above $10,000 are al most entirely derived from sources in which taxes can be transmuted into cost and added to price of product. When the people of this state come to realize the fact that in taxing the gross earnings of the railways they have sim ply appointed them collectors of that amount of taxes from the people whose products they carry, thus exempting their properties from taxation, that very popular tax will become deservedly unpopular, and a method adopted which will put the tax where it cannot be shifted. A BURNING DISGRACE. Minneapolis has need to blush with shame at the condition of her fire de partment, as shown in the reports, first of a committee of the council, and now of the grand jury. It seems incredible that a force of men occupying c place of such trust and honor as does the fire department of a city should become so. infected with thievery as these reports show to be the case in that city.- There is something peculiarly atrocious in the fact of men, employed to save property stealing the property it is their duty to save. The demoralization seems to be com plete. It is not a case- of a few men pilfering articles at a fire, but a general practice, with officers cognizant of :it and not only winking at It, bat sharing in the loot. Officers and men Jest each other about the thefts, as if it were a common and proper thing to steal th« property exposed.and, In a sense/under their care at fires. The chief, his assJsjjT "■iWnCftBUiJHP nnr m&a# uli seem t& iutifc ' ■ - lost all sense of honesty,and plunder the burning stores without compunction. \ Nor Is this the worst that these ex aminations reveal. Wheu the commit tee appointed by, the council made its report some time ago there were mem bers of the board who at once set about to destroy ,-' the ; effect of the report T Knowing that the testimony Was mainly given by firemen who would be dis charged if known, they-tried to force a revelation of the names of the wit nesses. So successful were they that all action by the council was defeated, ' and the thieves were retained in the de- r; partment. It is a sad aud a shameful story which the morniug papers gave their readers, but it is better told than 1 suppressed, tor a cure is only possible when the disease is known. It is not ; ' the fault of any city that such condi tions can exist so long as they are un known to the public; it would be uotia fault but a deep disgrace if they were permitted to exist after the sunlight of i publicity was turned on them. We have no doubt that Minneapolis will see that her fire department is thorough ly cleaned and purified, and. taking in stant action, will not rest until the job is fully accomplished. ■»i . Gov. Peck has set the pace and ex ample for the thousands of men who are called on to make speeches on fes tive and other occasions. He was to make a speech before some one of the contusing lot of congresses which are meeting in the White City, but was pre ve-nted by some exigency from going. He, however, unwilling to disappoint his audience, went to his phonograph in Madison and talked his speech into it. The cylinder was sent to Chicago.mount ed on a phonograph provided with a large fuunnel, set in motion, and the speech delivered to an appreciative and applauding audience. -«*• Times change. A couple of years ago our Republican brethren, in their anger, invented the epithet '•calamity howl ers," and applied it unstintedly to the Democrats and the Populists who were attributing to Republican legislation all and sundry the evils economic which afflicted the land. And men change with them. Now they are vociferously saying that the country is overwhelmed with financial panic and distress, wal lowing in the depths of calamitous cir cumstance, and all because the Demo crats are going to do something. The juncture of that cold wave which so refreshed us Wednesday, with the hot wave sweeping up from the south west, fortunately for us and unfortu nately for them, took place in Eastern Kansas, and evolved the fateful cyclone bringing death to many and wide de struction in its cruel path. As some difficulty seems to be experi enced in disposing of the "Minnesota Blizzard," we suggest to Gov. Nelson that he commission her as general su perjohunygo, with plenary power,of the woman's end of the Minnesota exhibit at the fair. That wrangle of women would end quick.

Tlie czar appears to be something of a joker. lie lias sent to the sultan of Turkey an album of paintings by tirst rate artists of all the war ships in the Russian Black sea ileet.— Rochester Union and Advertiser. The czar has sent to the sultan of Turkey an album of paintings of the war snips in the Russian Black sea fleet. History is said to repeat itself, but we doubt if President Cleveland will ever present to Senator Hill a series of paintings depicting the Chicago con vention, the road to Washington and the executive mansion. — Xew York Tribune. It was very thoughtful of the cz>ir to send to the sultan of Tursey an alburn of paintings of all the war ships in the Russian Black sea fleet Doubtless the Turkish potentate takes h lively interest in modern naval architecture, especially as illustrated by the Russian ships. Furthermore, a useful study of the czar's gift will probably convince the sultan that it will be policy tor him to cultivate the Russian emperor's friend ship. — Philadelphia Call. JUST NONSENSE.

The opening of the (heat Northern railway from St. Paul to Seattle lias more than passing significance as the completion of a certain number of miles of track, or the bringing of some hitherto inaccessible territory within the reach of the world's markets, or the shortening of the distance between the Great lakes and Putfet sound, important as any one of these achievements may be in Itself. The fact that tlie Great Northern has been built across the con tinent without government aid is testi mony to the development of the North west iv the last few years that speaks stronger than any statistics of bushels of wheat raised or of houses built. Twenty or even ten years ago such an undertaking would hardly have been dreamed of, " That it should now have been carried to success shows that shrewd, common-sensed business men, who do not build railroads for politics or sentiment, are satisfied that a rail road can flnd enough business in the northern sections of the new states to insure its prosperity, if their views are correct, the Northwest has a bntjht future before it. Hail roads do not pay without traffic. Traffic means crops and business and people. Notwithstanding the cries of dema gogues and the dark forebodings of professional reformers and farmers' friends, the growth of the West has been steady iv the last few years, and nothing but radical changes iv the in dustrial and financial conditions which have built up that prosperity are likely to retard its future progress.

In one of the lumber camps of that state there was a cook who was much bothered by a certain Indian, who was always "kennebutch," or hungry. One day the cook deter mined that he would fix him. lie came around and brought his appetite as usual. That day the cook had soup —gallons of soup. The buck happened in after supper, and there was plenty of soup left. The buck was eriven a large basin full, which he quickly devoured. The cook filled it up again and said, "Eat." The Indian looked surprised, but lie consumed the soup." The cook filled the ba*in again. The buck shook hia head. Then the cook seized a huse carving knife and leaped toward his guest, again commanding him to eat. The Indian again went to the bottom of the basin. He was so full of soup that he was nearly ready to burst. He left shortly alter and never came again. This was the cook's inning— the Indian's came later. One spring day, two years later, this same cook took a friend with him to an Indian camu to witness their process of making maple sugar. All at once the Indian who had been so liberally sup plied with soup appeared. lit seemed real glad to see his old friend the cook. He presented him with a huge piece of maple sugar. The cook tasted it, dirty though it was, out of courtesy, and handed it back. Now came the Indian's inniae. He forced that cook to eat so much maple sugar that he was made ill, and has had a prejudice against it ever since. NEW LIBERTY BELL. It Is Cast at the Meneely Bell Foundry in Troy, New York. Owing to tlie Stormy Weather Sirs. Cleveland Was Unable to Take Part. Ti:oy, N. Y., June 22.— At S:ls this evening Miss Eugenia P. Meneely, /daughter of Clinton ll.Meneely.let loose a Hood of metal at her father's foundry which, when cool, will be the liberty bell of this century. And the molten mass that flowed at her command was composed of patriotic ma terial, implements of warfare, material of the most historic interest, swords that have been used in battle, metal identified with every progress of invention and science, remembrances and love gifts, too precious to be trusted by a mortal looking forward to death in any other place except the Columbian liberty bell. The time for the casting was set at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,but owing to the damp atmosphere, the fur nace did not draw well and it was 8:23 when the boiling metal bubbled over the top of the mold. It was originally intended that Mrs. Cleveland would touch a button at Gray Gables, whereby electrical apparatus ' at the foundry would set in motion releasing the metal from the furnace; but Mrs. Cleve land was in fpour healtli and could uoi venture out in the stormy north and east gale which prevailed at Buzzard's Bay. The mold of the bell was not visible prior to the casting, but was embedded in the earth just in front of the furnace. The core was place in first, the outer case containing the inscriptions and dates being' piaced in after, and all ttie joints hermetically sealed. When the committees ar rived at the foundry all they could see was the great furnace filled with 13,000 pounds of moiten metal melted by the use of coal furnished free by the state of Pennsylvania. Then there was a small hole in the e.irth just in front of the furnace, and into this the molten metal, sparkling and looking like a snake of tire, found entrance until, when tlio mold was full, the fiery mass began to spread out over the ground. Then the How was stopped, and Mr. Meneely announced that the bell was cast. For three hours it will have to stay in the earth so as to allow it to cool off sufficiently to han dle. When uncovered it will be found to contain these words about the mouth: "Proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." Around the crown of the bell will be the inscription: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will towards men." On the face of the bell will be the words: "A new com mand 1 give unto you, that ye love one another." On the opposite" face will appear the words: "Clinton 11. Meneely bell foundry. Troy, \. Y." When it is cool enough it will bo pol ished, and will then be ready for trans portation. 'Ihecostof the bell, deliv ered in Chicago, will be $8,500. It will be run;r for the first time in that city. it is propsed that the bell shall rinir at each sunrise and sunset; at .» o'clock in the morning on the anniversaries of days marking great events in the world's progress toward liberty; at 12 o'clock on the birthdays of the "creators of lioer ty," and at 4 o'clock it will toll on the anniversaries of their deaths.
