Have we fire warden? If so, why does he
not do his duty? There are chimneys that
need repairing, and as the records of fire for
the last four years show that majority occur
in March, either let him attend to this matter
or place another section in ordinance No. thir-
teen fning him if he doesn't.
At a meeting of the committee appointed to
reorganize the fire department, held in the
common council rooms Saturday evening, the
first order of business was the question of re-
ducing the number of men. After some dis
cussion it was decided to cut the Alert Hook
and Ladder Company from twenty men to
twelve; the three hose companies from fifteen
dawn to ten; the engine company from twenty
men to five, and the light two-wheel Hook and
Ladder truck Of the third ward, are still to
retain their fifteen numbers. To a casual
reader such an an action is preposterous, but
for ways that are dark this committee will beat
the heather Chinee. There is no justice in
giving a company whose truck only wei CHS
600 pounds fifteen men. and the hose company
whose carts, when loaded, weigh $500 pounds,
only ten men. Now comes the singular part
of the farce: After the action of the ''star
chamber had been ratified in the committee
room, and the absurdity viewed in its true
light they admitted they would not need the
number of men allowed them. The question
comes to rational mind, why do they insist
on fifteen men? We answer-to carry the
election of chief engineer, nothing else.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN MUST NOT SMILE.
AID Bell submitted an ordinance to prohibit
the sale or giving away of liquor to minors or
women, druggists excepted. The penalty of a
fine of 1916 is attached, and in case the party 30
offending is saloon keeper, his license
is forfeited. 1t is made the. duty of
the police to investigate whenever
a minor or woman is arrested
for drunkenness to ascertain where the liquor
was obtained, and the party giving or selling
it shall be arrested.
In this connection City Attorney Murray said
he thought the ordinance important one,
and if it could be known how many children
were subjects of incompetence. likely all the
saloons would be closed, if no other way to
prevent the deplorable condition of affairs
could be found. The ordinance was passed.

From the Third District.

t. he Editor of the Globe:
In view of the certain defeat of Washburn
to seat in the Congress of the Emitted
States, the people of this district should be
casting about for candidate to present to
tie people for their representative. In this
large field there are many men more or less
qualified for the position, but the signs of
the times demand change in this district.
Now, in this connection, the northwest half
of this State have rights which white men
are bound to respect. II is evident that st.
Paul and Minneapolis would nominate
partisan candidate, whose sole interest
would bear on one or the other of those two
cities. A cure for these evils is simple
enough: The nomination and election of
Hon. William NJ. Campbell, of Meeker,
would be unanimously supported by the
Democratic and Greenback parties.

DISCIPLINE OR DISSOLUTION.

Ii will be seen that the GLOBES ideal of cor
rect Democracy is Dopnelly, and all Minnesota
Democrats must consent to be measured by his
standard.-M nnedpoliS Tribune.
The GLOBE says nothing of the kind and
proposes nothing of the kind. The GLoEE
does not pretend to say who are or who are
not Democrats, but it does say that when
man endorses Democratic measures and
platforms and supports the nominees of
the party, standing on the party plat
form, he ought to be welcomed to the organi-
cation regardless of his former political
utilization. The GLOBE further says that
Mr. Donnelly'is better Democrat than the
gang of SO called Minneapolis Democrats
interviewed by the Tribune the other day, or
such portion of them as boasied that they
did not vote for him, when he was the regu-
lar nominee, fairly selected and stand
ing on a Democratic platform, and who
now think it would be an courage" to pun
ish Washburn for bribery. If each indi-
vidual it to set up his whim as the party
standard it is useless to attempt to have
party. Either have square toed, honorable
organization, and stand by the nominees
when fairly chosen, or else go over
to the Republicans as the Minneapolis
Democrats have done. There is no Demo-
cratic party in Minneapolis, and Democratic
State and District Conventions should re-
fuse to recognize delegations from that city
They are either members of the Republi-
can or Minneapolis party. The latter in
cludes everybody in the city, but there is no
distinctive Democratic party there. There
had better be little wholesome discipline,
or else dissolve the whole Democratic organ
ization, and make it unanimous for the Re-
publicans. That is what the Minneapolis
Democrats have already done.

The old supporters of the liberal move
ment of 1872 seem to be quietly organizing
to defeat Grant either in the Chicago con-
vention or at the polls. They have had sew
eral quiet consultations of late, and have ar
rived at the determination to work all they
can against their old opponent up to the
meeting of the convention, future action to
be developed thereafter. 1t is not probable
however, that they will be permitted to in
trude themselves among the faithful at Chi

votes but who received the majority of the
