Never wet the hair if you have any

ONE MAN CAUGHT.
Supposed He Is OF the Harness
Thief Gang

At last the harness and buggy thieves, who,
for two or three weeks past, have been max
ing life burden 10 carriage owning citizens
generally and the Minneapolis police force
in particular, are in d fair way to get taste
of Minnesota justice. One OF the gang. or at
least Il man VINO had stolen buggy and sew
eral harnesses in his possession, was arrested
at an early hour yesterday morning, and is
now locked up at the central station. His
name is George Baker, and he resides in
South Minneapolis. About o'clock yester-
day morning Mounted Officers Pickett and
I.innehan were driving along in South Min
neapohs, when they came in sight OF
man driving horse and buggy. On
their calling upon him to halt he
laid the whipto his horse and cndenvored TO
make good his escape. The officers finally
succeeded i'll stopping him, after firing four
or five shots The buggy and The three sets
Of harness found in his possession were
taken to headquarters where they await
Identification. The buggy is q bar affair,
of CORTLAND make and a 5 the top removed.
Every effort has been put forth to make
Baker ''squeal," but thus far he has refused
to tell anything. He insists that he knows
nothing Of any gang. Baker formerly lived
in ST. Paul, where he was the propr Tor OF

THE COMING REFORM.
What Is in the Talk and Promise
OF Charter Changes.

We hear great deal, writes N. a. Bal, OK
what the Hennepin delegation Will accom-
plish in the Legislature in reference to the
charter of Minneapolis. All this may sound
people. but / think that the cool and con-
sentative ones will be slow in taking any
stock i'll the promises which come from The
Hcnnepin county delegation. 1t is more
than foolish to look for any change in our
charter before such change is submitted

be in favor of the continued supremacy
of the sc. 0. p, il viii go If not, it will
have to be amended, no matter, even, II the
people. have TO stand the expense to the
tune of q couple of hundred thousand dol
lars. That can be easily explained ut the
nett election by few oilyt-onaued poll
ticians and a liberal amount of sugar judi
ciously distributed among the labor lead
ers." The GLOBE quotes Mr. Lane as saying
that the police commission must go. Wen
it may, as it has accomplished its mission,
and now there is no use for it. The mayor
and the council committee on police,
both of which will be Republi-
can after January /. can better handle
the police force than the police commission
can, as there would be two Democrats in the
commission, and according to the act gov
erEing the board it takes four votes to ap-
point a new man. Therefore these two Dem
Ocrats would be a stumbling block IN the

productive of corruption in municipal affairs
as holding city elections at the same time
that stale or national elections are held, for
there are so many names on the ticket, AND
the state ana national issues absorb SO much
interest that our ward and city ticket is to
great extent, if not wholly, forgotten in the
great scramble; and then men who, il the
city elections were conducted separately,
would hot get q corporals guard ride into
Office ON the crest of the wave. Then people
stand aghast and ask: How did they get

legislation passed at the last legislature. Ii

THOSE UPPER BERTHS.
The Court Will Decide the Famous
SleepinS Car Case.

The somewhat noted sleeping car case ap-
pealed by the Minneapolis d st. Louis Rail
way company from an order of the state rail
road and warehouse commission was argued
Yesterday afternoon before Judge Young.
The matter III controversy is an order made
by the commission Oh the 2Sth of last
December, commanding the Minneapolis
& st. Louis company to keep the upper
berths in its sleeping cars closed eX-
cept when in actual use. The railway
company claims that to make up
the upper and lower berths separately
would cause great deal of Inconvenience,
both to its passengers and IT'S employees.
The commission, on the other hand. claims
that il is an inconvenience to the travelling
public to have both berths made up at The
same time. The railway company also
claims that the order is at variance with the
interstate commerce law governing the
rights of common carriers. The court is
asked 70 pass upon the right of the com
mission TO make such an order. The
argument was made by Attorney General
Clapp oil the part of the railway and ware
house commission. and by Judge Springer
On the part of the Minneapolis u st. Louis
company. j. S. Runnells, Of Chicago. was

A RUNGLING REPORT.

The public of Minneapolis needed 10 an
Nouncement from the grand jury to convince
Il that there has been collision of some kind
or character between the police and the gam
bleys. There was never any direct proof of

the housetops, but are usually done
without the formality of witnesses; but
there was feeling as strong as be-
lief that such was the case. But
the grand jury makes positive statement
that there has been, without doubt. some
coliusion.' This would indicate 10 GER
fainty that the jury knew. II apl ears, then,
that the jury is open to celstre. II has gone
too far if it has not the positive proof at its
command and il has fallen short Of its duty
II il has This proof. Here is a blind charge
that certain police officials are boodlers
and have received money for permit
tirg gambling. 1t is a serious
charge, and not to be lightly passed
over. 1t reflects upon every member
of the police force, from the superintendent
10 the latest potr0lman. Granting that it is
true that certain police officials have done
this thing, the report of the jury is q stupid,
bunsling piece of work, which the court
might very properly reprovc. we
think the police commission should IN
vestigate,' says the report Is the grand
iury afraid to investigate? Whose duty
should il be TO investigate. if not that of the
grand jury? 1t is incredible that body Of
intelligent men should formulate such q re-
port 1t might just as well announce to the
court and the world that lin the board of

A PLEASING EVENT.
The Election OF Officers Of the
Hibernian Rifles.

The Eibernian Rifles, the finest military
company i'll the Northwest, held its annual
election last evening. when the following
officers were named: Captain, Edward Ken
nedy: first lieutenant. f. J. Fitzgerald; sec
ond lieutenant, William Foley; treasurer,
J. Kelly. Capt. Kennedy, who was simply
reelected, was presented with handsome
and costly gold-headed cane by the COM
pany. The presentation speech was made by
Simon McNulty, and was Il witty, pleasing
one. Mr.. Kennedy responded iii the same
vein. Mr.. McNulty, also on behalf of the
company, presented the captain with TIE
following testimonial:
The Hibernian Rifles desire to put them
selves on record as fully appreciating the
benefits which may arise from the devotion
of one man to the Interests OF many They
recognize, il this, a fitting time 10 give ex
preston to a sentiment which finds l0dg
ment in the breast Of every member; and be-
Geve that in a testimonial such as this, that
sentiment may TEST find voice For two
years the management and discipline OF the
rifles have been rep0sed in the keeping
of Capt. Edward Kennedy and his
account Of The Stewardship has been in
every respect gratifying. While conscious
of the relations which discipline and Ell
quette compel between commander and
commanded we recognize that Capt. Ken
nedy, in enforcing the one and obeying the
and has received obedience as the voluntary
escort OF respect. The right TO command
went to him as a privilege, accorded in trust,
with our consent; this trust be tonight re-
turns, hOu0rcd and unabused. Our appre
citation of his administration we desire TO eX-
press in this testimonial of confidence in him
as an officer, and respect for him as man.

THE GRAND JURY'S BREAK.
A Blind Charge Against the Whole
Police Force.
COLLISION WITH GAMBLERS.
The Sheriff Exonerated In the Jail
Matter---A Singular Re-
port.

The grand jury completed its laDOrs about
5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and turned
over to the court thirty-seven indictments
and the following report:
To the Honorable District Court: The
grand jury would respectfully report that
they have examined the county Jail end find
it clean and fairly well ventilated. The food
served the prisoners seems TO be fresh ana
wholesome. and 10 be sufficient in quantity,
and the discipline of the Jail is, in our judg-
mcnt, good. From the best information
we can procure, there is no gambling
now being carried on in the city.
There has been, however, without doubt,
some collision between the conductors OF
certain gambling houses and certain police
officials, whereby the gamblers, for some
consideration unknown to us, nave been
promised immunity from arrest. The ex-
posure of the whole scheme i'll public PRINT
seems to have stopped the gamblers from
operating for the present, but we think the
police commission should investigate this
matter of collision between the police Off
Gals and the conductors Of gambling houses.

Judge Lochren then told them they might
take an adjournment until Jan. II, 1883,
when they would be expected to again con
vene and consider such business as might be
brought before them.
4 SINGULAR REPORT.
The report has created considerable COM
ment wherever known. Sheriff Swensen
vas congratulated on the findings as far rs
the jail was concerned, while the -jaiior and
turkeys were highly eiated. The SEN
sation, however. was in relation 10 the
gambling, and the charge that police officials
have been i'll collision with the gamblers.
Some time ago it was current on the streets,
and SO printed in the GLOBE. that certain
police officer of the rank of captain received
$3.50 for refusing TO modest the gamblers.

NATURE AND CRIME,

Hersdity of Vice.

'sI'he Relationship Between Vice and Dis

instructive talk delivered last evening by DR..
r. o. Beard to young men at the Y.

subject OF heredity, showing that
there is g. strong tendency of certain crimes
or diseases, OF of beth, running through sue
cessive generations of family. Statistics
were given showing how one family, through
successive generations. had been addicted to
theft, another to murder. another to gam
bling and another subject TO certain disease,
such as consumption, cancer: etc. Chlldran,
he said undoubtedly inherit evil tendencies
stance it has been found that crimi-
nails were subject to nervous diseases.
Environment has very small influence as
compared with heredityin producing diseases
and criminals. In speaking, of the punish
ment OF criminals, he thought that heredity
ought TO be u better ground for granting
clemency than most of the false grounds
presented by council. While i'll a certain
sense the criminal is not responsible, in an
other sense he is. If it were the crime or
bility would rest entirely with the
parents but the crime and disease
are not inherited, but only tendency. Edu,
cation is the staying power. One should
know the tendencies Of his ancestors and
guard against them. person with weak
constitution can strengthen himself by train
ing. So q person with tendency TO a cer-
ain disease should guard himself against it,
Crime, which is Il moral disease, should be
guarded against by a moral education.
The Chinese, he said, have recognized the
subject of herediiy to q greater extent Than
any ether people, and have often punished
the parent OF the criminal because he is
partly responsible.
He told of one case where not only had q
murderer been put TO death, but also his
