HOW DOES LOOK :?

Last week s. Page was driving
1h1ough the street at a furious pace, SO
fast a. to endanger every body who CHANGED
to be near HIM. Seeing the proceeding
Chief Of Police Tom Riley complained Of
him FOX violating the ordinance against
fast driving, arrested him and took him
before Justice Griffith. Arrived there. he
entered list Of objections and made one
OF his characteristic speeches, attempting
70 show that The ordinance which he hal
violated vas Illegal and void. After
listening to Page, City Attorney Green.
man concluded not TO prosecute the case,
and the Justice reluctantly dismissed the
action. It may be that the ordinance Is
defective, and that an action under it can
not DO maintained, but good lawyers think
otherwise. At any rate, the spirit and In
tent ofthe ordinance make itjust what pull
lie safety requires. Other men have been
arrested and punished under it for doing
just what Page did, aud if he has no more
regard for the rights OF his fellows than
he manifested by his careless driving he
should be punished too. The condition
OF society in City depends not 80 much
upon the laws or the officers who ad-
minister them as it does upon the char
scter of It's citizens, and If a minister of
justice, 4 Judge, whose opinions decide
tho rights Of the people, wantonly violates
She city regulations, and then makes war
upon them, we may not expect the com.
non masses to respect the rights Of others
Dor to yield obedience to the laws Of the
land. Surely man whose business it is
70 expound the law and 10 apply it
ought to keep himself clearly within its
evident meaning and intent, aud to con-
duct himself in all respects SO that, by
following his example, no one will be led
10 injure his fellow, to endanger his life
or bis property, or to comnit an offence
against the rights Ct The people. In this
Republic an officer is 10 less subject to
lhs law than is the lowest citizen, and any
effort on his part 10 override or 10 evade
It. justly excites popular indignation and
sontsmpt. He IS the best man who il the
best citizen, no matter what his station in
HE may be. ~.

AN Embarrassing Encounter.

Miss May z. Starr, alias Mrs. Cooley
Martin, pranced up before His Honor
this morning, radiant in white shawl
and a long white vail around her hat, to
answer charge OF disOrderly conduct.
The trouble was, that she met we'll
dressed, rather handsome man, last eve
ming at the corner of Sixth and Elm.
The man, VIM. Quigley by name, was
accompanied by ID lady, with whom he
was about to board a street-car.
Miss Starr at once collared Qugley
and importuned him 10 go with her, He
refused. and was most shameiully
abused. Said she: "Come on, VIII. ;
YOU know you used TO be my feller. Pve
still got your picture in my trunk.
Come ahead" Quigley was terribly
mortified, but conducted himself won
derfully well under the trying circum-
stances, while subjected to the quizzical
gaze of nearly three hundred people
who had gathered to witness The per-
formance.
Finally Officer Cornelius Hanrahar
came up and dispersed the crowd by ar
resting the excited female, while th'
Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms, John Mon
Diary, took charge oil Quigley. This morn
ing the woman pleaded guilty and wal
fined SO and costs, but Quigley was hon
OraDly discharged.

could then organize party of their
own. But nothing Of this kind was
done.
What is the remedyP Leta few bold,
determined men take hold Of each Of the
subordinate Oranges, and reorganize
them on aggressive principles. pledging
themselves to united action at the ballot
box. They would hold the balance Of
power at once; the effects they would
produce would bring in new members j;
and in short time the order would have
all its old members and ten times its old
influence.
When we argued, at the State Grange
meetings. att dFaribault and Mankato, that
the do-nothing policy wonld result in
lethargY. inanition and decay, we were
met with the declaration that any polit-
ical action would divide the Grange and
destroy it. It is evident that the do
nothing policy j. yielding the very fruits
we predicted, and that the Grange is de-
clining rapidly. Now let US try the
other course. Heroic treatment may
save the patient. live let him alone he
will die anyhow.
Are there enough bold, Iresolute, able
men in tho State to take hold OF this
matter?
