The narrow gauge scheme which is being
worked up has served one good purpose at
any rate, and that is to remove the scales
from the eyes of the public in relation to
the assessment and payment of taxes. In
the first place it is bringing to light all of
those patriots who make business of asking
for and receiving attachments. Secondly, in
calling attention to some of the valuable
property just outside of the city limits which
should be bearing its fair proportion of the
burden of municipal taxes but does not and
thirdly, the extremely extravagant fees
which are being paid to members
of the court house ring for using very mod
crate ability in rendering very moderate
service to the people of Hennepin county.
It is good thing to call public attention
to these facts, and before the discussion ends
the public will probably learn how it is.
Groveland addition and all the additions
bordering on the southern limits of the
city should be included within the limits of
the city proper and the committee on char
ter amendments will probably SO recon-
mend.
In q majority of cases the salaries of city
officers are low enough, though there are
two or three which could be reduced without
detriment to the public service--notably
that of city attorney, and superintendent,
and engineer Of water works. But the ex-
travagant pay (going to gentlemen of moth
ing more than average ability is in the par
ticular case of the clerk of the courts and
the register of deeds. These gentlemen
should be paid salaries, and compelled by
law to cover their fees into the treasury.
Let the committee on county matters con-
slider this subject among others.

The Tlyo Orphans.

The Metropolitan Theatre company offer
an unusual attraction for Christmas day, in
presenting (matinee and EVENING" the beau
tiful sensational drama of the "Two Or
phans." Neither pains nor expense have
been spared in the effort to put this piece
upon the boards in the most attractive man
ner. The cast is excellent, the scenery
largely new, and prepared with view of
making the piece holiday specially. The
public cannot find more cosy or delightful
spot to spend two or three hours than the
Metropolitan theatre, with its most excellent
company and splendid scenery, music and
appointments.
Several new additions to the company are
expected to take part in this play during the
week. Messrs. Murray & Goodwin must ex-
pect to have full houses during the holidays,
as the "Two Orphans is an attraction that
always draws we'll in this city.

Il Maslioc.

A German named Fred Thaute re Gently
came to this city from California, and has
been boarding at the Crow River hotel on
Fort street, and working as a millwright in
one of the mills. On Monday evening, for
some unaccountable reason, he left his
boarding house and went to the police Sta
ton, where he applied for lodging. This
was readily granted, and the man safely
locked in cell Yesterday morning the
jailor invited the unfortunate tramps to take
a walk for their health, but Thaute declined
to leave, and pulling out wicked
looking knife, threatened to kill any
one who undertook to put him out. The
jailor closed the door and locked him in the
cell, when the man (who proved to be insane)
began to break up his bunk, and behave in
a terribly wild and vicious manner. First
Sergeant West endeayored to parley with him
through the CRATES, and got a severe punch
over the LETT eye with broom handle. Then
Captain Berry undertook to reason with
Frederick, and he went off with punch
from the same implement under
the right eye. Then DR.. Kimball
was called to administer chloroform,
but Fred was not seeking to
quiet his nervous system and so alarmed the
doctor that he threatened to administer
blue pill to the impatient through the
muzzle of revolver. Then the chief of
police bethought him of the hose, and at
once turned stream of ice water on the
maniac, who soon succumbed to the hydro
pathic treatment and begged for quarter.
The man was then secured and taken to the
county Jail, whence he will probably be con-
yeyed to st. Peter.

Chief Munger and Detective Hoy were
each the recipients of a fine turkey, yester-
