Gen A b. Nettleton

Gen. Nettleton, of Minneapolis, said that
opposition to these amendments came from
the dealers and those affiliated with them,
or from those who objected to license hilh or
low, ON principle. He wouldn't spend a
breath on the first class, but would like to
remove false Impression from the minds of
the latter. They thought that "license"
meant to permit an evil for tax, when, in
fact, it was prohibiting by restriction thing
absolutely free. Under the common law
the rum traffic was as free as
that in flour or dry goods,
and ''license' was but the placing limit to
this freedom, and in this con nection the
placing upon it of special tax. To the
amount such prohibition is carried the
amount of alcohol consumed is reduced,
which, of course, is a blessing to the people.
There is an opposition which is general to
the state undertaking to say, ''TnOu shalt
lot drink" License but says to
the dealer that his traffic shall be
regulated to the extent society de-
mands for its own protection. License is the
best manner Of handling the traffic, as it can
be enforced by law all over the state, and
the same cannot be said of any other temper
ance measure. By it men can unite with
considerable solldity to suppress crime and
reduce it to minimum everywhere. There
is an influence in every legislative body on
the continent, which, though silent and un-
seen, has rights which are not to be ignored,
and one above the influence of the saloon,
which we always have with US.

The City of Saltwater, appellant
/ Syllabus-The charter of the city provides
that ii Shall be the duty OF all owners of land
adjoining any street. lane or alley in said
city to construct, reconstruc. and maintain
in good repair such sidewalks along the side
OF the street, lane or alley next to the lands
of such owner respectively, as may have been
heretofore constructed or shall hereafter be
constructed or directed by the city council to
I've built. And it also provides that such
owners shall be- liable for all damages to
whomsoever resulting from their default or
evident neglect in not keeping such sidewalk
i'll good repair and in safe, passable condi-
ton. Held that this latter provision so far
as it assumes to make the owner liable to
other than the city is unconstitutional.
Order affirmed. GILFILLAN, c.
Judge Berry agrees to the final disposition
but objects to the imposition on the ground
that it would be an attempt to shift upon a
pivate psrson liability for the failure of
the public authorities to perform govern
mental duty.
Judge Mitchell substantially agrees with
Judge Berry, holding an ordinance requir-
ing person to build or keep in repair side
walks abutting his property an exercise of
the taxing and not of the police power.

and Matilda Lamb appellants.
Opinion per curiam: This is an appeal
from Judgment entered upon the deter
mination of the issues 0v the court upon
trial without jury. No questions are pre-
scented Tor review except such
as relate to the correctness of the findings
of fact made by the court. But there is no
cause or bill of exceptions showing upon
what evidence the findings were based;
therefore, it must be presumed that they are
in accordance with the proof. A transcript
OF the court reporters notes of evidence,
merely certified by him, does not constitu te
a record of the case. There is nothing for
us to consider,and the judgment is affirmed.
Catherine Crowley, as administrators of the
estate of Edward Crowley, deceased, re-
spondent, VS.. Frank Undertook, appel
liant.
Opinion per curiam: The controversy is
as to the true location, with reference to the
United States survey, of the boundary line be-
tween certain subdivisions of a section of
land. The determination depends upon the
location of monuments established by the
government survey in 1856. There is a
substantial conflict in the evidence and after
careful consideration of 1t we find no suffi-
cient reason for setting aside the determine
ton Of the Jury sanctioned by the trial court
The order refusing new trial is affirmed.

THAT EMBEzzLEMENr CASE.
It's History and Recent Developments
Defaulter TO be Arrested,

It's History and Recent Developments--The
Defaulter to be Arrested.
An article appeared in Yesterdays issue
of the GLOBE, announcing the default OF a
certain young man in the employ of the
Northern Pacific Railway company. 1t was
not then regarded proper to give away the
full particulars of the case, but, the bond OF
secrecy under which the GLOBE was placed
having been removed, it is at liberty this
morning to publish details as follows:
Each OF the four roads doing business at
the Minnesota Transfer has a cashier under
the superintendency of Mr.. Sullivan. T. W.
Payne was acting cashier for the Northern
Pacific company, and, by all who
knew him, he was considered
an honest and promising young man. But
change appeared to come over him all OF u
sudden, and disposition to lead fast life
was noticeable by those who were immedi-
ately associated with him. At last, when in
speeding the books some time last Deem Der,
Mr. Sullivan detected shortage in accounts
and proceeded to acquaint Mr.. Payne of the
fact. But he was not to be found, aud it was
then ascertained that he had skipped Fur
Their investigation developed the fact rather
forciby that the cashier took away
81, 100 IF the company's funds,
Search was at once instituted, and he was
traced to Chicago, where all scent of him
was lost. 1t appears that detective in the
employ of the Northern Pacific company has
been looking for him ever since. Wednes-
day Mr. Sullivan applied for extradition or
requisition papers for his arrest wherever
he could be found The detective has a
pretty good idea where he is, as it is supposed
be will be arrested inside of two or three
days. When the theft WAS discovered Payne's
father, who lives in indianapolis, was noti-
fed, and he agreed to settle; but no check
has yet been received for the amount. For
this reason the action above noted is taken.

evil, and make some amends for this
injury done the working people of the state
who were the base and sinew of its pros
perty.
The speaker made some excellent
remarks on the workings of high
license in other states and ridlculed
the personal liberty argument used by oppo-
nents of the law, and substituted the plea for
the poor man in this matter. There had been
too great personal liberty in the rum traffic,
and it was time to explode this
mockery. The bishop closed with
an eloquent appeal to the committee present
and the legislature to rise above all demands
and threats as the representatives of this
great cor mopwealth and vote in independ-
ence for the good of the state and their fell
low men. lGreat applause.

THE POLICE COURT RACKET.
A Few Buns and Dizzy Pugilists Given the
Rush to the Dry Dock.

''This gem men is friend of mine, your
hopah," said Minnie Monk, pretty, bright
eyed damsel with kinkey ringlets and face
the color of lavender cream, when John Sew
ard was waltzed before the pulpit yesterday
morning. John is a soldier boy, of tue col
ored persuasion, and he came home on i
furlough. On meeting Minnie he Set her up
in housekeeping, and Wednesday night they
went to the Opera house. During tic day
Seward fixed up little scheme to have u
friend named Reid transport the furniture
from the house during their absence, as he
was about TO return TO his regiment,
and he wanted to break even.
A friend OF Min mics gave the snap away, and
both men were arrested on the charge of
larceny, IS Min ME claimed to own the furui-
ture in fee simple. After the arrest he held
an interview with his sweetheart, and when
the case was called she didn't want to prose-
cute it, so they were both discharged.
Hank Peterson and Ed Edgerton got into a
row at the formers house, and the attention
OF copper was attracted by cries of bloody
murder. They were both arrested aud the
court gave them header by giving them the
rush to the quay for tifteen days each.

Hon. w. II. Marshall.

Ex-Governor Marshall said he had been
listener to the earn est and excited debates
in the present legislature for reforming
abues in transportation, on the grading of
grain and its forwarding TO market, and he
believed that most Of them were just and
hoped they would be incorporated into whole
some laws But if all the losses incurred by
defects Of this character in our laws could be
summed up, they would in amount be
utterly insignificant in comparison with the
waste of wealth in Minnesota resulting from
the abuse of traffic in liquor. II every hour
of the sixty days allotted to legislation this
year were devoted TO securing effective meas
ures TO rectify the abuses of this traffic, the
legislature could wisely suspend action on all
other questions. The difficulty in temper
ance legislation had always been in his ex-
perience practicability, but his deliberate
judgment was that we cannot do better in
Minnesota than 10 pass the amendment now
asked for.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Insurance Legislation.


To the Editor of the Globe
was surprised to read In YOUR issue of
yesterday the article on the bill introduced
by me in regard to the removal of causes from
state to United States courts.
The first act passed in Wisconsin required
foreign insurance companies, before they
were permitted to do business In the state,
to file an agreement not to transfer any
cause from any state to United States
court. The supreme court of the United
States decided that corporation could not
con stitutionaIly bind itself in advance
not TO resort to the courts Of the United
States and, therefore, held that the
insurance companies could transfer their
case Notwithstanding their agreement.
The legislature then passed another act pro-
viding that whenever any foreign insurance
company should transfer any cause con-
trary to its agreement the missioner of
insurance should revoke its license TO ID
business in the state, and this law, upon
which my bill Is modelled, was decided con-
stitutonal by the supreme court OF the
United States in Doyle VS.. the CONT
neutal insurance company, vol. "a,
U s. 535. You will perceive you
have stated the case the reverse OF what it
is, the decision being that the Wiscon sin
law is constitutional, not uncon stitutional
With this explanation trust you will correct
the wrong impression you must have given
your readers. Respectfully,
P. A. FOSTER.
