MINNEAPOLIS.
VOTE RIGHT ON THIS.

The police commission of Minneapolis
is a Republican institution. 1t is a
purely ornamental affair, besides being
expensive. 1t has accomplished moth
Ing in the way of reform and has no eX
cuSe for living. 1t was a scheme, in its
Inception. to take the police appointive
power out of the hands of the mayor for
the purpose Of weakening his political
influence, not as mayor of Minneapolis,
but as Mayor Ames. The commission
has been heavy expense upon an al
ready overtaXed people, and the people
are sick of it. They never asked for it
and they were opposed to it, but, with
true Republican ideas of local self
government, they were never consulted.
1t was crammed down their Threats by
partisan legislature.
1t is now understood that certain Re-
publican candidates for the legislature
are in favor of a repeal of the law.
Whether their motives are good, or
whether this is purely political move,
matters little. The Democrats are, of
course, in favor of a repeal,
and no Republican candidate will
gain vote on that score.
The Republicans of Minneapolis
are on record as opposed to home rule
in Minneapolis, and any change now is
adeath-bed repentance that will scarcely
insure them a political heaven. Other
things being equal. the thoughtful
voters of Hennepin county will support
the Democratic legislative ticket
on the one issue of self-gOvern-
ment. The Republican orators and
press of Minneapolis have howled
themselves hoarSe over dakota and
her right to govern herself, yet
have persistently pushed aside the
will of a majority of Minneapolis and
carried her affairs to the legislature for
adjustment. Voters will resent this at
the polls. They will remember that
vote for the Democratic ticket means
vote in favor of local self-government.
A vote for the Republican ticket means
an Endorsement of the plan that would
leave the local affairs of Minneapolis to
the farmers of Rock and Kittson

AGRAIN LAW BLUNDER.
The Legislature Should Repeal
the Power of the Commission to
Alter Grades.


"The law of Minnesota that leaves it
possible to alter the standard of grain
grades at the will of the commission
ought to be altered at the meeting of
the next legislature" said Col. g. d.
Rogers, of the Market Record, yester-
day. 1.-THE requirement that the COM
mission shall annually establish grades
for each crop is a blunder. The idea
back of that law was that each crop is
likely to differ enough in quality to
make a change in the grades neces-
sIty, in order to reach the best results.
That theory is an error. The grain law
has in it many good features, and not
the least among them is the establish
ment of uniform system for all parts
of the state. Whether the established
grades are the best that could have
been devised or not is question about
which there is an honest difference of
opinion. But upon the policy of tink-
ering grades that have been established
until they have become we'll known
among all classes of people handling
the grain in question, there can be
hardly two opinions.
1T has taken years to bring buyers at
a distance to fully understand what is
meant by the arbitrary language used
in describing certain grade. They
have now come to know what is meant
by No. hard, No. l northern, etc.: not
by reading the language of the statute
used in describing them. but by seeing
the grain designated by such names;
buying it, selling it, and in every way
becoming familiar with it. Now if
man is offered cargo of wheat of
designated grade he knows what it is
like. A very large part of the wheat of
the Northwest is bought and sold by
grade before it reaches its milling des-
tinatiOn. Much of it is held in the
country and sold for forward delivery
months in advance of its movement, be-
cause the producers or other owners
convenience is better subserved by it.
Forward sales, that have become a
necessity in moving the crops, are all
based on the standards in use. To
change the standards during the life of
such contracts throws business into in
eXtricable confusion.
1.-The very close shave by which grain
interests escaped being Swamped by the
commission few days ago is sufficient
warning to the state to remove the dam
gerous possibility of tinkering with the
standards of quality. 1t would be quite
as well to give the commission authority
to declare that fifty-five, or any less
number of pounds of wheat should be
the weight of buShel this year because
the average is light, and another year
with different weight crop to make it
something else. No authority short of
the lawmaking power of the state
should be competent to alter the stand
ards of quality any more than. of
quantity"

as near neighbor shall have
been demonstrated, or until experts
shall have passed upon its supposedly
baneful features, it is, to say the least,
unwise for either the Judge upon the
bench or the popular mind at large to
condemn the crematory off-hand. In
the modest belief of the members of the
health department, the worthy gentle
men who have petitioned to enjOin the
health board are getting themselves
into puncheOn when barrel would
comfortably accommodate them. These
officials would be the last to impose
upon the public sanitary evil in the
attempted accomplishment of the SAM
tary good. AS matter of fact, the Gre
matory will be neither an immediate nor
remote nuisance in any sense of the
word. 1t is not intended for the de-
struction of night soil at all. 1t will
consume simply garbage, rubbish and
otfal. This material will be carted into
a walled and rooted enclosure,
and will be dumped as it ar
rives, load by load, into the
crematOry furnace. Not a single pound
of it will be stored in or about the build
ing. The material will be thrown upon
a crate over which and under which
burn the furnace fires, and it will be
quickly consumed. Ashes or particles of
debris dropping through this CRATE fall
upon superheated tire-tiled floor, where
they will be returned. The smoke and
gases given Off in the process will be
carried over the sub-fire and will be
completely consumed; no nOXiOus odor
can by any possibility reach the fiues.
Drawings of the crematory are on ex-
hIbitiOn at the health Office, and citizens
are cordially invited to call and investi-
gate the facts. The board looks to the
public and to the courts for a fair hear
ing and to the press for continuance
of the same support which it has hith-
erto gratefully received. Respectfully
yours, S. S. KILvINGToN, NJ. ID.

THE TWO TRAGEDIANS.
A Hit in 1.-THE Merchant of Ven.
Ice'---To-Day'S Bills.

lSO
"Shylock" was the bill presented by
Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett last
night at the Grand opera house. The
audience was even larger than that of
Monday evening, and standing room
commanded premium on the lower
floor. The Merchant of Venice" is
delicious for its comedy, and its restor-
alton in its complete acting form brings
out all the poetry of the master.
Edwin Booths Shylock is the acme OF
art, and his performances In this role
will live in the history of the stage.
Between the red wig of Burbage, the
farcical Shylock of Daggett and the un-
even showing of Irving, and the serious
and finished performance of Edwin
Booth in that part there is distance as
great as the years that separate us
from Shakespere's time. Mr.. Booth is
simply Incompatible in the part.
As Bassanio Mr.. Barrett lends an
air to the part that is artistic
in the extreme. and his wonderful elo-
cutiOn was never seen to better advan-
tage than in this part. Mr.. Barrett's
versatility is shown inthe transition from
Cassius to Bassanio. The support was
admirable, and the little serenade intro
duced in the play by Lorenzo and
his friends was heartily applauded. The
MERCHANT of Venice" was admirably
stage and much credit is due Scenic
Artist Clausen for the beautiful and
historically correct pictures he has pre-
sented during the engagement. The
farewell performances will be given to-
night and this afternoon. The matinee
bill will be Hamlet" Tonight
"Othello" will be presented.
The Lolita engagement opens Thurs
day. From the commentator received
at various places Miss Lolita seems to
have secured this season great play in
pawn Ticket No. 2l0." The play is
thrilling and affords every opportunity
for the Introduction of new and clever
specialties. In support of the artist are
George Boniface, Jr., and Paul AutOr,
well known actors. The sale OF seats
opened yesterday and is still going
briskly on at the box office.
Charles T. Wiegard, business man
ager of the Natural Gas company, ar
rived in the city yesterday. His attrac-
ton follows ARABIAN Nights" at the
Grand.
Crowded houses have been the order
every evening this week at the Peoples
theater, Notwithstanding the strong
counter attractions at the Grand. The
splendid double bill is the magnet which
draws out the theater-gOerS who enjoy
light comedy more than heavy tragedy.
The presentation of each play is very
much smoother than on the opening
night. The lines in the Jersey Lily"
the musical absurdity, have been toned
down bit, and there isn't the least
thing Objectionable, even to the popular
young newspaper men who are cleverly
"guyed."
Manager Sterling announces an elab-
crate production of the "Stranglers of
Paris'' at the Peoples theater next
week. The stage settings and the
mechanical effects will be the best ever
put on the stage at this popular play
house. 1t will tax the strength of the
stock company to stage the play.

GROCER ARRAIGNED.
@. S. Bracket and Several Others
Charged With Unlawful Liquor

@. S. Bracket and Several Others
Charged With Unlawful Liquor
Selling.
There was slight sensation In the
district court yesterday morning when
c. S. Bracket, the well known grocer,
was arraigned on an Indictment charg-
ing him with selling liquor without a
license. Mr.. Bracket took the matter
very co0lly, and on pleading not guilty
his case was continued over the term,
in order that case against George
Benz, st. Paul grocer, now in the SUI
preme court, might be decided before
any action is taken in this case.
Marenus McClain, against whom there
were three indictments for the same Of
Tense, pleaded not guilty and gave
bonds Of 5000 in each case to appear and
stand trial Oct. l.. w. E. Phillips gave
a similar bond to appear the same date
and stand trial on a similar charge. The
old case against John Hanel was reset
for Sept. 81. Mr.. Bracket claims that
the law touching upon the selling OF
liquor without license does not affect
him, as he sells the wine and other
liquors in unbroken packages. He con-
tlnues that if an adverse decision is rem
dered by the supreme court in the case
against Benz he is willing to take out a
license without any further talk.

A Whole Array of Law
Breakers.

The grand jury held a short session
yesterday morning and then adjourned

sixty five or seventy indictments. The
witnesses before the jury were mainly
police officers. 1t is pretty certain that
the keepers of the houses of i'll fame
and the proprietors of the various
gambling houses have had some atten-
ton paid to them. There is also feel
ing that the owners of some of the
buildings around town which have
been rented to women of i'll repute will
be called into court at no distant date.
There are number of sensational mat
tiers to come later on. if all reports are
