1t Comes Too Late.

To the Editor of the Globe:
1t was a sad job thrust upon the Repub-
lican county convention of Hennepin- last
Wednesday, when it was left with that body
to amend all the bad breaks which the Re-
publican party of late has made in regard to
the Scandinavian element in this vicinity,
and it must be stated TO the honor of the said
Henuepin convention that it labored n0bly in
order to carry out the mission: but it will
take more neat than the old ring party now
can carry into any convention TO soften the
big McGill freeZe-Out in Ramsey and the
fredericksburg blizzard here when dele
gates were chosen to the Republican state
convention. Of course there may be few
ScandinavianS who, in their own interest,
deem it best to say nothing about being
snubbed off with two delegates, legally
chosen, where they ought to have at least a
Dozen and then have a couple more begged
on to the delegation when protestations sue
ceeded in turning slight into charity. But
the main part of the Scandinavians WILL no
doubt, remember the original uncanny action
of the party leaders toward the element. and
the amendment OF Wednesday came too late,
however so we'll it was made. About the
Scandinavians nominated on the county and
legislative tickets by the Republicans I
think nothing but good can be said, but the
point rests with the fact that they were put
there only as soothing plasters to take the
pain out of recently inflicted wounds, and to
help the millers and elevator rings out of
the scrape into which they knew them
selves to be- pity the good men who have
been put to pose before the voters for such a
purpose, because it is dead certainty that
it will be ''off coats" to work-not against
them, but against the party Vaccinations
which handles an important nationality in
such q manner. And this work is a duty for
every sensible Scandinavian in Hennepin
and Ramsey counties. S.

MONTHLY REPORTS.
Interesting MOrtuary statistics and
Police Court Data fhe Fires. Etc.

Yesterday was the 1st of October, and
the police force changed ends" in other
words, the day force went on night duty
and the night force went on day duty.
Chief Stetson, looking over his report for
the past month, said: I'VE had sixteen
alarms last month, eight still and eight box
alarms. The loss on buildings was So, 755 !;
on furniture. 50. 026: total, 81, ISL. Were
the losses covered by insurance? Well, L
should presume to assert. The insurance
amounted to S4O9. 200, or about ffty-nine
times the amount of loss"
Health Officer I. f. Quinby said: I'VE
had 14S deaths during September, as against
lis in 'S5 and ia in "a during correspond
ing periods. Diphtheria gathered i'll 20
deaths, scarlet fever 4. typhoid fever 10. l
am afraid that next month the fatality
among children from diphtheria will be
still greater 1t is almost epidemic in GER
tain sections now. Typhoid fever is pre-
vailing. but not to any alarming extent.
Why, in October, 1881, we had sixty-two
deaths from this disease alone, or Two a
day.
The records. which the grand jury say
are not kept, show that during the past
month SOL arrests were made. OF these
grand jury, to the county Jail and to
the reform school. Seventy five paid fines.
Of the number 215 were arrested for drunk
enn6ss, ~ for disOrderly conduct, 81 for
larceny, 80 for robbery. 35 for vagrancy.
The receipts of the municipal court from
the criminal business amounted to ST, AS. 90;
from civil business. S675.25. During Sep
TENDER, 1885, SIT, sos were collected, but
the civil business only amounted to 1888. Is,
and the fines from the houses Of ill-fame
went to swell the criminal receipts.
Receipts for the sale of stamps at the
Minneapolis postoffice for September were

against S29. 1858 for last year; paid out

HAS BEEN ABANDONEDe
The Government Has APPARENT!
Left the Water Power 10 Privat
Care.

The Government Has Apparently
Left the Water Power to Private
Care.
The work of replacing large portion Of
the dams belonging to the East side water
power has made considerable progress says
the Northwestern Miller, and by the time
the river freezes up it is expected to have
much done toward insuring the stability of
the power on that side of the river. The
old dams, put in many years ago, had be-
come very leaky from decay. and the vast
age of water had assumed proportions max
ing it an item of important consideration.
One section of dam, running at right angles
with the river to Hennepin island, and To-
Gated Just above the upper edge of the
East side saw mills, has been replaced with
new one of masonry, faced with timbers,
the length of which is ITO feet. The old
dam, in turning the upper end OF Hennepin
island, forms a sharp corner, and Is being
utilized for Golfer dam while new piece
of work is being constructed from the saw
mills diagOnally across this corner to the
dam proper, $50 feet up the river. OF the
latter, which joins that constructed above
the saw mills. $50 feet is being put up at
present. 1t is intended to complete the re-
naming 20 feet as soon. as practicable. This
dam is also constructed of masonry, faced
with timber. Instead of having one con-
tinued incline from the crest of the
work, there will be two gradatory projec-
lions to break the force of ice or logs and
protect the limestone at the toe of the dam.
it all resting on forty-fou foot base A
dredging boat is also being built for remov-
ing the accumulations in the East side mill
pond, The services of J. T. Tanning,
hydraulic engineer, of Manchester, n. H.,
have been secured by the water power CON-
pany. and he is directing the Improvements.
An interesting matter in this connection is
the very recent withdrawal of government
supervision over the water power OF the
falls. In the past a Waterman has been
kept On Hennepin island to look after the
government improvements. but he has,
within week or two, been withdrawn. and
tools and apparatus kept at his quarters
have been disposed of. This has made it
apparent to the two water power companies
that the government will take no further
care of the power, and that they win be left
to maintain it as private enterprise. The
above companies realize that the apron and
other parts of the works are in need OF re.
pairs, which will have to be carried out by
joint action, and they will probably Coop
crate in making them during the coming
winter,

oils record stand So won, 40 lost, and give
the team the fourth place in the list The
protested game with Duluth has
been given to Duluth on techni-
cality and is included in the 43 lost
games. The facts, as appears from the
statements of the team and from the Duluth
papers. are these: Umpire Tindill was in
toXicated that day-last Wednesday-and
came upon the field in that condition. Min
neapoliS entered protest against his UNI
piring, but its telegram to Quin was not
answered in season. The game went on
and Tindilrs calling of balls was outrage
Gus, SOwders leaving the box in disgust. A
protest was entered. but Quin refused to
allow it, saying that as long as the game
had taken place and after wiring to re-
move Tindill and then letting him umpire,
can't allow protest" The umpiring was so
outrageous that the Duluth papers criticised
Tindill severely.
THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Manager Whitcomb is anxious to arrange
for series of games with st. Paul or Du-
luth. or both, aud has a proposition for a
short series for state championship. He
will make, also, an arrangement to play
either st. Paul or Duluth a series at Mime
apOliS, for gate money. the Minneapolis
team to win three out of five games with
either or both teams. 1t is believed an in
teresting wind-up could thus be given the
season and that the matches would draw
large audiences. If Managers Barnes and
Lucas are willing, arrangements can readily
be made.
BENEFIT GAME
will be PLAYED to-day at Minneapolis be-
tween the Minneapolis league team and the
Manchester college champions. The re-
ceipts will go to the players and the lovers
of the game should turn out and give the
boys good benefit. In the early part of
the season Manchester defeated Mlnneapo-
lis, so an interesting contest may be eX-
pecled. The batting order will be as follows:

Hennepln county will cast 10000 votes
next mouth, of which Ames will get &c. 900

Minneapolis was so rare as to be couspicuous
but to-day the Scandinavian Democratic clubs

A. F. Nordin tells good story of the young
man who was requested, last spring, to vote
against Ames. In return, he told a story to
the ward worker, and both went together and
cast their votes for Ames.

DISrepuIabie 1actIcS TO create raise
Impressions by Wholesale Lying.
The Minneapolis Evening Journal with
its usual unfairnesS comments upon the
GLOBES expose of the untruthfulneSs of
the grand jury's report by saying:
1T is the frequent release of confidence
men and thieves and criminals of that class
without giving their victims an opportunity
to appear against them. and the collection of
money from such prisoners, without account
ing for it, of which the grand jury especially
complains
Now the grand jury's statement makes no
more explicit charge in regard to conf
dence men. and thieves and criminals"
then it says:
Criminals are released upon the request
of criminals, and the voice of the gambler
appears to be more potent at the city prison
than the judgment of the court"
With all due respect to the grand Jury, il
should be considered that it receives largely
ex parte testimony, in other words, it hears
one side OF story. 1t listens to the COM
plainant and not to the defendant. In dis
Secting the report of the jury, the GLOBE
found that the two explicit statements con-
tanned in it were in direct contradiction to
the existing facts, viz, as to the record
kept of arrests, and the releases made
The Journal. prejudiced and malicious as
it is, tacitly acknowledges the mistake of
the jury. 1t. however, proceeds to assume
that the indirect charges made in the re-
port are true. Nothing is given in support
of this alleged truthfulness of these
charges further than the statements in
report that has been shown to be untruth-
full and in contradiction to sworn testimony
of witnesses.
1t is understood very readily just why
this terrific arraignment'' is made at this
particular time. 1t is understood quite as well
why committee Of the council proceeds
at this particular time to charge that police
officers have been allowed to draw pay
while on vacatiOns-in the face, too. of the
fact that such vacations have been allowed
in obedience to custom that has been OBJ
served for years and which applies to other
officials of both the city and county govern
ment with equal effect. 1t is understood
that this is all done for political effect to in
iure the candidacy of Mayor Ames for gov
ernor. While it is so understood none APP
preciate the unworthiness and cowardice of
such despicable attacks upon the reputa-
ton of Minneapolis and its officials better
than the Evening Journal and the PillSbury

attention from its schemers for plumber by

Radical Sentiment.


In Tuesdays Journal can be found a char
acteristic piece of true Republican sentiment.
1t is headed Cost Only S42," and gives in
brief the biennial report of Warden Reed, of
the Saltwater state prison. The Journal
seems all of sudden to be stuck on economy,
as it makes point of the reduced net cost
per prisoner from sl38 year ten years ago
to $40 last year. This is all very we'll as long
as there exists no complaint in regard to
clothing and feeding. But the paper glorifies
especially IN the increase CT earnings and
winds Up with prediction from the warden
that when there are 800 prisoners the prison
will be self sustaining 1t takes a paper
like the Evening Journal to publish this pre-
dictiOn without comment. Is it the economi-
cal sunstroke which has carried the paper so
far as to base future accounts upon an even
tual increase in law breaking! Or is it for, in
the coming days, to strengthen the blind
folded taxpayers sympathy with the Repub-
lican convict-labOr system? Never mind now
what it may be; it shows clearly to the labor
ing man that there is not as yet, very much
of turn in the Republican sentiment re-
garding the old competition between convict
labor and freemen's toll. A VOTER.

the usual interest manifested by all present.
1t used to be said by some that there were
no handsome girls of Irish descent in Min

has not been plain looking young lady
present. All have been more than good
lOokng-they have been decidedly hand

who can refuse to put his name in the little
books they carry. Its all right to say before
you enter the hall that you will not buy a
single chance or pay for solitary ballot.
but after you are in and black-haired, dark
eyed nymph comes gliding up, and
looking sweetly into your face, inquiries:
do you want to take chance?" your
resolution melts away like snow before a
July sun, and the charming smile OF the
graceful girl amply repays you for any
trouble you may have undergone. Last
evening the Orphans Friend came out

WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN.
A Man Driven Crazy by a Tenn
pesfuous Political Meeting.

Theodore Thompson. laundryman re-
siding with his wife and child at 1911 Bluff
street, was aTraigned in the probate court
yesterday, where his sanity was to be
passed upon. Thompson appeared very
melancholy. and his brother and wife teSti-
fed that for long time he had been mo-
rose and dOwn-hearted. Mrs. Thompson
said that since the Prohibition meeting at
Peterson's hall, some time ago. when the
Republicans came in and broke it up. her
husband had been thinking and talking of
heaven and the best way to get there. At
the Third precinct station, where he was
confined Thursday night he prayed long
and earnestly that his baby boy might be
honest and never become a politician. He
also thought he was in heaven. and so in
formed the sergeant in charge. He was or
dered committed.
