Glencoe and the MillerS' association are
still at daggers drawn, the latter having
dropped the discussion of the discrmina-
ton question and the former keeping it up.
j. G. Edison, of the American house at
Glencoe, was in the city yesterday, and
says the town is doing nothing but rail at
the millerS. 'GlencOe is red-headed over
it, is the way he concludes.

1t is undoubtedly the correct thing for
Mayor Pillsbury to institute searching
investigation of the public rumors affecting
the integrity of the police department, as
he has done. But such an investigation
will not amount to anything unless freely
and fairly conducted Investigations"
are often the official means of applying
whitewash, and the public, after long eX-
perience, find that all Investigations do not
investigate. This one should not be of that
kind.
1t is not one, but many, who would wish
the memorial sent out by the council of
Duluth had received fair hearing in cOun-
Gil on Wednesday night. To fatty table
such document is regarded as not only
discourteous, but in the line of moral
cowardce. The people of Minneapolis
undoubtedly have views on the matter of
an extra session, and men with pronounced
sentiments are seldom afraid of allowing
them to go on record.

Considerable complaint is made of the
frequent and unnecessary blockadeS on
Washington avenue north of Fourth avenue.
Long trains of box cars are permitted to
linger there until it has become crying
nuisance, when a little energy and care
would have the tracks open much more
frequently. A dozen street cars and half
hundred vehicles were blocked up yesterday
afternoon for an unconscionable time.

The city engineer will soon take advan-
tage of the authority given him by the coun-
Gil to sink shaft to facilitate the
work of constructing the North Minneapolis
sewer tunnel. The tunnel has been COM
pleted from the outlet to a point under
Sixth avenue south, between Washington
avenue and Third street The first shaft
will be sunk near Fourth avenue north and
Fourth street.
The library board is at last making no
ticeable progress in the work entrusted to
it. AT last nights meeting, with full at
tendance, Charles NJ. Loring, representing
the Art association, and S. c. Gale, repre-
senting the Academy of Sciences, were
present, and plans looking toward the union
of the three institutions, as at first cOntem-
plated, were discussed and were given
shape. There is no doubt that all that was
expected will be accomplished.

To-day the police commission will begin
its work in investigating the Stevens-Tan-
ner-Brewer- Mitchell case, but despite the
wishes of Mr.. Stevens, It will not be pub
lie affair. The commission seems to be of
the opinion that the nature of the investi
CATION is sufficient in itself to necessitate its
being shielded from the bold public stare.

1.-THE staunch advocates of the stone-arch
bridge project are in serious trouble. After
advertising for proposals for constructing
it, it is found that the lowest bidder wants,
in round figures, $40. 900 more than the city
engineer estimated the cost would be. This
fact seriously handicaps the movement,
because there was a strong sentiment that
the cost as originally estimated was really
more than the city could afford, and as
matter of course, to add $40. 900 more only
serves to arouse more pronounced oppOsi-
ton. Engineer Rinker is quoted as saying:
1T has resulted from the great difficulty
in building the piers and fixing the Golfer
dams, and the expense Of laying material
down here. These bids are all too high,
and unnecessarily so. They are in the
hands of the committee, and whether they
will accept any one of this batch, or call
for new ones, [ cannot now say"
