der the unanimous nomination for probate
judge
]. W. Lawrence was amused last evening to
learn of his nomination by an evening paper
as probate judge. He is not looking that way
this year.
Members of the new Danish society who
repudiate Candidate Gunderson are favorable
TO the nomination of A. Therkildson.
The Lurline boat club certainly has a future
In store for it. The club gave very tidy
little regatta last Wednesday, which revealed
in its races that the boys have been under
going some good training, and that there is
no lack of good material. Only rival club
is needed to supply the necessary incentiv e
to lead on to better things. The club will
probably give another regatta soon at Lake
Harriet, by the invitation of the park COM
mission. The club intends to send a crew to
the White Bear regatta, and the Watson
brothers will enter in both singles and
doubles.
The new city ordinance in relation to Sun
Gay sports is too apparently aimed at base
ball to be effective. Suppose, for instance
an effort were to be made to interfere with
the enJoyments and alnusements of our Ger
man citizens, who select Sunday, because
that is the only day they have-why not an
alderman could be found to vote for it. On
the contrary, every one of them would rush
to record his vote against it. The present
ordinance was rushed through under a sus
pension of the rules and without having been
understood and could come before the coun-
Gil again, it would promptly be rejected.
NO alderman would think of Offering
to stop the Turner's from exercising on
Sunday. What alderman would attempt to
stop the Harmonic society on the ground
that its music disturbed neghbors? The con-
stitution guarantees religious liberty and the
pursuit of happiness-what right, then has
council to prohibit party of Hebrews play
ing ball on Sunday, any more than 1t has to
prevent club of Gentiles playing on Satur-
day, the Jewish Sabbath?
Elder Stewart is a sort of nettle, which is
best let severely alone. He has been stirred
up by that messy and ancient Tribune, and
III response has written a letter that will
probably satisfy it it has barked up the
wrong tree. The elder SAYS he will live and
flourish when nothing is left of the Tribune
management but bad smell, and that he
gives more to charity every year than the
Tribune is worth above its debts.
If Aid. Johnson is in earnest in what he
alleged before the council Friday night, the
mayor would be pleased to get tho informa-
ton of what the aStute Second warder pro-
fesses to be in possession. He charges the
police with being VIGOROUSLY bad, and all
sorts of things of that kind. but it is exceed
ingly doubtful if he really believes what he
says.
When Mayor PilIsbury asked for an in
crease in the police force Aid Johnson was
not slow in coming to the mayors aid. 1t
makes wide difference with the youthful
partisan which political parts asks anything.
Yesterday $4,000 was turned into the city
treasury, money collected from the First
| street houses, under the new method, and
| four licenses were issued. These licenses,
| however. will not leave the safe at headquar-
| ers, but are made out to conform to the re-
| quirements of the law.
