AMUSEMENT NOTES.

y Rosina Vokes is in the city, and so is
her famous supporting company. To-
night she commences her engagement
at the Grand opera, presenting a triple
bill of new pieces here: "a Game of
Cards" The Circus Rider" and "a
Rough Diamond" will constitute the
evenings programme. Miss Vokes
made such decided hit here last sea-
son, and the advance sale of seats has
been SO heavy, that it goes without say
ing that the house will be crowded to-
night. The same programme of come
dies will be presented until Thursday
night.
Robert Downing's representative, M.
W. Wilkinson, is in the city perfecting
campaign for his star, who is the
Thanksgiving attraction at the Grand.
Joseph H. Mack, his manager, is eX-
pected in town tomorrow.
''Jesse James, packed the Pence last
evening with the biggest audience that
has ever gathered in the theater. Fred
ericK Book made the most of the title
role, and Jessaline Rogers as KeZiah
Ann and Mrs. Frank James was excel
lent. Scully, Undertake and w ilson's
Lilly White" were we'll taken and made
lots of fun. Same bill tonight and the
remainder of the week.
Pleasant weather and an unusually
strong play combined to draw big
house to the Peoples theater last even
ing. The attraction was that powerful
American border drama. 1.-The Danites, !"
and j was enthusiastically received.
The piece was put on the best style of
the house, nearly all the settings and
scenic accessories being new. Theodore
Hamilton as Sandy MCGEE, the rough
but big-hearted miner, scored notable
hit, putting world of force and
pathOs into the part. Miss
Marie Wellesley played the part
OF Nancy Williams, 1.-The last of a
doomed family" who is hunted down
by the murderons Danites. She has
rarely. if ever, appeared in an emo
tiOlal role to so good advantage. John
". Burton. as the "jedge," ''who was
made Judge because he waa tit fol-
nothing else in this glorious climate OF
CalifOrny," did some clever and whim-
Steal comedy work which delighted the
audience. That excellent actor, j. B.
Brown, was fully equal to the part of
the parsOn. $50 named because he could
swear harder than any man in camp"
The minor parts were all well taken,
Edwin Haskell's portrayal of Washee-
Washee, the Chinese servant, being an
especially clever bit of work. A feature
of the production was the appearance of
Miss Wellesley's magnificent acting St.
Bernard dogs. 1.-THE Danites'' runs all
the week.

CORNMAN CORRECTs 1T.
He Shows He Has Filed a Report
Which Was Verified.

City Clerk Cornman was very highly
wrought up over the statements of Aid.
E. NJ. Johnson, printed in the SUNDAY
GLOBE. that no statement had been
fled by the city clerk, according to law,
of tine fees collected in his Offices.
s'Besides being totally untrue" he
said, lit would give out the idea that L
am dishonest, and that my office has
Johnson must have absent or asleep
when my report was read, and when
the expert, j. Rodgers, made his report
of the examination of my books. Look
at this" and he produced a copy of the
official proceedings of the council. 1t
showed that on May a, 1888, the city
clerk had filed his annual statement,
showing that licenses had been issued
for 4,09S dogs at 81 each,
and AT female dogs at 50
each; plumbers licenses and ground
licenses, amounting all told to IS, 152,
which had been turned into the city
treasury. Then followed the report of
j Rodgers, the expert accountant, who
had examined the books and papers of
the Office and found everything correct,
except that the clerk had turned in 81
too much on dog licenses.
II Hnd, SalQ Clerk COfHnaH, CHdC
Selah Matthews, from April, 1881. to
April, 1887, turned in $l5,23O, a yearly
average of S2,53S, as compared with
So. 1872 for my first year. Since May
of, this year have turned over S4.725,
and by the end of the year will have
exceeded my last years collections"
what about the chattel mortgages
and births and deaths?"
They are provided for by statute,
which prescribes the fees l shall re-
ceive. The charter does not cover them.
| would like the GLOBE to straighten
this up for me and correct the impress
sion already given out.''
1t appears. then, that the only fault to
be found is that all annual instead of
monthly report was made, but the Re-
publican precedent was to keep run
ming account without reports.

After these remarks he announced as
his subject, "Ihe Philosophy OF Au-
tOnomy." He discoursed at length OD
man and what he is, taking him as the
unit of society. Man is composed OF
certain powers, and he never can be
better than his parts. A society is i'm
proved by the Improvement of the in
dividual. Ignorance is the evil. He
deprecated the use OF force. and said we
were drifting into state when the
people will do right from a sense OF
right-not from compulsion. Happi-
ness is what is wanted in this life.
Now the rich were happy. and when
. they found that the poor would destroy
it they brought out the POoh-Bah of re-

Ignorance is the great evil, and this

talk about won't help you. He continued
IN this strain Tor some time. His re-
marks provoked a long discussion.

Mayor Babb forgot to promise what
he would do with the anarchists. A
grave omission.
Whatever the actual or imaginary
figures may show in the building line
for this year, Minneapolis may certainly
be proud of the real showing along the
principal streets.

THE PUBLiJAN'o PRAYER,
A Striking Sermon by Rev. ID. j.
BurPelE,

Rev. Dr Burrell preached an inter-
esting sermon at Westminster church
yesterdaylmorning from Luke xviii-9-l4 !:
The preaching of Jesus was specially
remarkable for two features, simplicity
and picturesqueness. His lessons were
from life. This publican stands as a
living illustration of the right method
of approaching the throne of the heav-
emily grace.
First-Observe his face. 1t expresses
desire. "Prayer is the SOULS sincere
ton of hidden fire that trembles in the
breast" The first essential of true
prayer is want. The Lord deliver US
from formal routine at the mercy seat.
Second-Observe his attitude. His
face is fallen on his breast; he stands
afar off. Humility is prerequisite to a
hearing in the Lords audience cham
Der. Seven times it is written, "He
that humbleth himself shall be ex-
alted.'
Third-Observe his vocabulary. He
uses ''me," the right pronoun for sin
ner to use before God. He uses the
definite article 1.-The" in describing him
self; there were multitudes of sinners,
but in his contrtion he seems the only
one. And he calls for the right blessing,
''mercy" Nothing else would meet his
case. Mercy is the specific for sin.
Fourth-Observe his gesticulation.
He beats upon his breast. indicating
great earnestness. God loves our i'm
portunity. 1t is written, 1.-THE kingdom
of heaven suffereth violence and the
violent take it by force.''
Fifth-Observe the outcome. He
"went down to his house justified" So
may any penitent soul. The death of
the Lord Jesus has made it possible for
God to administer mercy to all who will
call upon him.

LANES OPPORTUNITY.

"Col. Freeman p. Lane has stirred up
quite hornets nest about his head by
stating that he intends to introduce a
bill this winter to abolish the police
commi sslon," said prominent Repub-
lean yesterday, "but nevertheless
Freeman is right in the matter, for the
bill creating the commission was gotten
up for the one purpose of taking the
police force out of Mayor AmeS' hands,
and now since the Republicans have
elected a mayor, there is certainly no
further use for police commission"
"If the facts are as you state them
what is the reason for the Republicans
jumping on TO Lane for what he says he
intends to do?" the prominent Repub-
can was then asked.
well, the fact of the matter is that
the old fogy part of the Republican
party doesn't understand it as we dc"
he answered, "and they have an idea
that because Lane has the reputation OF
being something of rounder he may
be working in the interest Of some OF
the gamblers. Now if itWere safe to eX-
plain matters to these cranks L could
show them in very short time that it
is for the interest of the gamblers to
have this police commission continue,
and the way 10 have good police force
is TO put the whole matter in the hands
of Mayor Babb and then hold him re-
Sponsible if the laws are not enforced.
The trouble with having police COM
mission is that no particular member
can be held responsible, for if you ask
one member why the laws are not ell
forced he will say he is not to blame,
because he is in minority on the com
mission and consequently he is unable
10 do anything.
Another member will tell you the
same story, and if you follow the matter
up you will find that every member OF
the commission is in the minority when
a complaint is made. Now, if the police
force is in the sole charge OF the mayor,
as it was when Pillsbury was mayor,
and things run as loose as they did dur
ing his administrations, why the people
know who is to blameSand there is no
chance to dodge the ISSUE"
you acknowledge, then, that it was
Mayor Pillsbury's weak and vacillat-
ing course in managing the police force
that caused his overwhelming defeat at
the polls when he sought a reelection,
do you?"
Certainly do. That was the very
cause. But if there had been police
commission during his administration,
he could have thrown the blame on
some one else'S shoulders, the same as
each member of the commission is do
ing at present." he answered.

MINNEAPOLIS.
THE COMING MAYOR.

Mayor lectBabb comes back from
his Chicago trip in search OF wisdom,
loaded to the muzzle, and has enter
tanned score of reporters with what he
proposes to do When he assumes the
reins of the city government. The
GLOBE believes that patriotic loyalty
should outweigh and overcome partisan
ism IN the bresst of every citizen, and
that every man who believes in the
future of Minneapolis should do
his utmost in holding up the hands
of the new mayor in all
effort to give the city an honest, pro-
gressive and economical administrations
But at the same time Capt. Babb asks
too little and promises too much. He
may b Iieve millennial peace and
prosperity will hover over Minneapolis
from the moment he is sworn in as
mayor, but he will be joined in that be-
lief by but few. The way of the re-
former is naturally hard, and when t!,,SSrc
reforner is handicapped. &c the mayor
Of Minneapolis 70. RE way becomes
doubly hard. 1t is one thing for a
mayor to promise and announcer 10 per
form. Nominally he is everything to
the city. and really he is very little:
Beyond the veto power and the duty OF
signing warrants, little is left him. In
police matters he is but one of five,
and when Capt. Babb speaks of what
he will do in enforcing law through
the police, he assumes the power
and prerogative of a commission of
which he is a small minority. For
what is done he will get no credit, and
for what is left undone he will be held
accountable. He has promised great
things, and he will be happy man and
fortunate politician if he is found
able to redeem half his recent pledges.
His confidence may be commendable,
but the GLOBE hopes the most for him.
while it fears the worst.

NOTES OF TnE BLUECoATs,

That the police force in Minneapolis
is not large enough to furnish the proper
protection to the citizens, their homes
and places of business, has long been
notorious fact. The officers do the best
they can. but they are placed at de-
cided disadvantage by having too large
a territory TO cover. This is especially
true in the outskirts. where the patrol
men have beats large enough to warrant
placing five Or six more men on.
BurglarieS and highway robberles
are of nightly and daily occur
ence, and could the report book at
headquarters be seen it would tell
many an interesting tale. Half OF these
rObberieS are never known outside OF
headquarters, The inspectors are kept
busy night and day watching "crooks"
of all kinds, and hardly a day passes
but what half dozen OF more thieves
are ordered out of town as simple vags,
because no one has the time to work
up the eases against them. Then again
about half of the people who are "held
up'' and robbed never put in an APP
pearance at court to testify against
the man who robbed them, and nothing
remains to do but to charge the thief
with Vagrancy.
- x
A man giving his name as John Hen
derson approached Patrolman Bacon
near the market yesterday afternoon,
and i'm maudlin sort of way Informed
him that he d been robbed OF S104 by
Ed Ryder, whom he had been with all
the afternoon. At this point Ryder
came up and emphatically denied the
charge. Two other men swore that
they saw him take the money, however,
and he was locked up OH charge of
larceny from the person, and Hender-
son was booked for drunk. in Ryder's
pocket was found the missing money.
So
Early Sunday morning the North Min
neapolis police found man wandering
around the streets in an aimleSS sort OF
way. muttering to himself and looking
at an imaginary person in front OF him
ali the time. He was taken to the First
precinct station and locked up. Last
evening he became violent and wanted
to kill a number of persons. 1t was
found necessary to strap his hands SO
that he could not hurt himself. During
the evening Mrs. John BOak, residing
at COS Sixth avenue south, appeared at
police headquarters and asked for aid
in finding her husband, who she said
had left home Saturday night. 1t
turned out that the man at the station
was her husband. He was drinking
hard all last week, and on Saturday
evening left the house on run and
rushed down the street shouting at the
top of his voice.

FLASHES OF HUBLIMITY
Which 1liumined the Speeches at
Am Anarchist Meeting.


Last night the anarchists held their
first meeting at ITO Washington avenue
south for the purpose of discussing the
principles of anarchy. There was a
good attendance. and considerable in
terest was taken in the remarks of the
various speakers-remarks which at
times were wild, and at other times
subtle and carrying considerable sense.
Mr.. Malone was selected to preside,
and in taking the chair remarked that
the newspaper reports would make him
out red-hot anarchist, but he did not
care. The newspapers. he said, made
it a point to publish their worst breaks
and leave out everything else.
Mr.. BraytOn was the first speaker.
He began with the history of our GOV
eminent when we threw off the yoke of
Great Britain because of oppressive
government. We then, he said,
founded government of our own,
and in his opinion made a great
mistake. He discussed various events
of government, and while he charged
up to the government q great many
things-for example, slavery mot con-
stitutional, but sustained by the gov
ernment), Indian masSacreS, Mexican
etc, Yethe credited to it the settlement
of the country. the building and extern
sion of railroads and few other things.
Government claims to protect life and
property. To show how it does
this, take the war of '61.
Our government by that war destroyed
s6,0O0OOo,0OO worth of property and
100000 of lives. He next spoke of
several men who came to Minneapolis
poor and who had become millionaires
through the laws. DOriluS Morrison,
he said, was once a river driver, but
was now worth 100000 or more.
Washburn and Pillsbury were also
mentioned as men who had become
rich through the laws. Another item
of law was the fact that Mr.. Lowry had
/ secured street railway franchise for
! thirty years and that it was paying him
| an income of 1000 day.
Some good laws have been passed, he
said, but not many. One good law is
the homestead law. Anarchy teaches
! justice and love. Ministers are an
! archists. but bread and butter keeps
them quiet. There are very few Gad
| men, and almost all men mean well.
| There are $4,000 anarchists in Mime
apolis, but they don't know it.
| Fritz Gellerup was the next speaker,
and he criticised some of the remarks
! of Mr.. Brayton, saying that the minis
tiers would not be preaching what they
are if they were anarchists. The queS-
ton of to-day isnot to be solved through
the heart. but through the mind. 1t is
a cold and hard economical question,

SUNDAY IN THE CITY.

The whisky which can be procured in
Minneapolis is peculiar stuff, and has a
peculiar effect upon some of the persons
who drink it. About 9 o'clock last even
ing a nicely-dressed young man, labor
ing under a heavy load of the stuff, was
brought into the First precinct station.
When he was searched by the jailOr he
began to cry and howl like a baby, and
big tears rolled down his cheeks and
dropped onto his immaculate shirt
bosom and his diamond stud.
"ish all righ' to alresh me-" he
gurgled, ''an' don't care for shat, but
shay. boys, you won't go and givsh Zhe
newspapers my name. will you? My
flasher and my mosher'S dead, am
boo-hoo," and a fresh burst of tears
drowned the rest OF the sentence.

The patrons of the dime museum
were treated to an interesting contest
last evening, which was not down on the
bills. Early in the evening young man,
who insisted on splitting tobacco juice
into the eyes of the monkeys, was ordered
out by the special policeman on duty
there. After he had gone friend of
his began to abuse the policeman. and
HIldily Iistllt a luoll 6tG 1liiJl IltlNt StIUCh
him on the shoulder. Quick as flash
the copper let out with his left. and.
catching the obstreperous individual
under the ear, knocked him about ten
feet. He then arrested him OH charge
of disorderly conduct and ran him over
TO the lookup.
~
81 saw Hal Reid at Saltwater this aft
ernOon,' remarked one of the city de-
tectives last evening. as he dropped into
chair at police headquarters. "He
is looking well, and says he has great
hopes of being set at liberty soon. l
also saw Cantieny. the man who shot
and killed Officer Mclaughlin some
years ago. but did not get chance to
speak with him. l understand that he
is figuring on getting pardoned out by
Gov. McGlll before that official gets out
OF Office"
1t is learned from one of the iurvmen
in the suit of Ed A. Stevens against the
city to recover for services in compiling
the city charter and ordinances, that it
was supposed that he had already re-
ceived $4,000 from the city, so 50, 500 adj
ditiOnal was awarded. 1t was intended
TO fix his compensation at $1,000 The
warrant fer $4,000 was never allowed.
so the $1,000 awarded by the verdict
would be all Edward would receive if
he accepted the verdict, but he won't.
