CHATTER OF THE CITY

Sh<11161I Ot LIE I'll
Minneapolis is not exempt. Great city as
1t is, with its large commercial and manu-
featuring interests, its s90,O0o,O00 of as
sessed real and personal wealth, it cannot
escape. The East and South have it, and
now it has found its way to the Northwest
Even on Sunday, when the great trade ar
teries are stilled and solemn thoughts sue
ceed the hustle and stir of the week, it is
heard always. The future perfect CITY will
be without it and will boast two ladies, in
whose conversation overheard on the street,
there will be no such pronoun. as ''he'' or
Shin"
Ever on the alert, one of Minneapolis
vigiant police officers tried to arrest the pa
troll wagon yesterday morning. A poor devil
in the worst stage of high c street oratory,
superipduced by drink, was making
Rome howl on Fourth street,
between Nicollet and Hennepin, about a.
IL. No officer was in sight and some passing
gentlemen sent call for the patrol wagon
1t was very dark there, and while the officers
were engaged in loading the inebriate, the
officer on the beat happened along and seeing
the crowd and hearing the noise, came up
with "Hyar now, move on there: move on,
say" A passing meteor revealed the patrol
and he moved on himself.

Maj. Moore, the commanding officer Of the
English squadron of the American division
of the Salvation army, has ordered descent
on the Northwest, and it is altogether proba-
bic Minneapolis will soon get visitation
There has been split in the army, growing
mt Of a{T,
the ranks, and if his followers come
here, the other wing Will be sure to follow
suit, as it is "a cold day when they get left"
There is no sense in anticipating trouble
but if the ''hallelujah lassies' come this way
and-however, the army is an infallible
harbinger OF spring.

The verdict Of the jury which found Can
tieny guilty Of manslaughter in the second
degree has brought forth a great deal of adj
verse criticism, and it appears that there are
great many people who were satisfied with
nothing less than his life in expiation for
the crime he committed These hot
headed people should remember that a
jury composed Of twelve unpreiudiced men,
.wo-thirds of whom do not live in Minneap-
oils and therefore were probably free from
0ias, is more aptto arrive at just conclusion
Than those who have only partially heard
The testimony and are Influenced by preiu-
dice While there is some reason TO believe
that Cantieny acted with deliberation and
malice in killing Laughlin, at the same time
The jury was at liberty to consider only what
was offered in evidence, and those who at
ended the trial throughout noticed the fail
are OF proof on the part Of the prosecution in
IN ff.t1a
verdict is that a number of the attorneys
who listened TO the testimony and the plea
Of the attorneys predicted that no other YER
dict could well be found.

One result Of the Cantieny trial is gen
eral discussion as to the right of policeman
TO shoot alta man who is attempting to es-
cape after having been placed under arrest
for committing a misdcmeanor. 1t is very
natural thing for man who has been guilty
OF disorderiy conduct or some minor breach
Of the peace, especially If he has a regard for
his reputation, to attempt to escape from an
arrest which means q night in the lookup
and consequent Arrangement in the
police court and public disgrace
The pvilege Of an officer according to some
interpretations Of the law, is that he may
draw his revolver and shoot down the fleeing
offender. As fatal consequences are likely
TO result this course seems ill-advised Per-
haps no exact instructions as 10 what au Of
fccr should do in instances like these can be
given. 1t is patent, therefore, that reliance
must be placed upon TIE discretion of patrol
men, and the aupointive power hereafter
should inquire as 10 the "nervc" and cool
medicines of candidate for the police force
with as much care as is at present exercised
concerning his hight. avordupois, military
bearing, etc.

'When city bonds at AZ and per cent.inda
ready market why should mortgages on good
real estate draw per cent?" was the conun-
drum possible purchaser put at real es-
tate dealer yesterday The latter was little
puzzled and finally answered: "Well, 1t
does look little like robbery, but the fact is,
S per cent. is charged only because 1t can be
obtained. Men can afford to put money into
houses to sell on the monthly payment plan
when they &c. per cent. who wouldn't DO it
for less. The monthly plan enables men to
buy houses who could do it in no other wav
so 5 per cent. isn't so bad after all" eyes
II is, responded the other, lit is barefaced
robbery"

The elevators in some of the large business

run at 4 reckless rate Of speed, which is in
consistent with the idea of safety. Some
day one of these elevators will get loose, and
