ALI SORTS.

Since the creation of the police board
no chairman of a council committee on
police has had the audacity to call a
meeting of his committee, but the chair
man of the new committee has done so.
His committee will meet on Monday,
and his fellow-committeemen wait with
baited breath to see what awful fate
will be visited on this rash man, who
dares toy with the august body that is
responsible to no one.
Mud-on-the- Moccasins and Brindle-
Bulldog, two Sioux chiefs, applied to
the police last night for lodgings, and
were assigned to suite of cells in the
central station. They expressed them
selves as well SiouXted with their
quarters.
Something has dropped at last. Art
icles of incorporation We're filed yester-
day by new railroad company, and
two of the men signing the articles
claim that they withdrew from the COM
pany six weeks ago.
W. II. Rogers, of the Minneapolis
Tribune, he of the goodly proportions
and audible trousers, wishes it dis
tinctly understood that he is not the w.
H. Rogers arrested at st. Paul for
bigamy.
Ben johnson, the attorney, has come
out as candidate for the attorneyship
of the park board. If it is understood
that Free Lane is to stand i'll Ben'S
candidacy does not go.
The judiciary committee of the park
board has struck cruel blow at the
Flour Clty's claims to metropolitan
greatness by recommending that over
alls and a "iumper'' hereafter be the
regulation uniform of park policeman,
and that he carry spade and hoe in
place of baton.
There is lurking suspicion that the
change from the eight to the ten hour
system OH city work was made to coun-
teract the effect of alleged aldermanic
admonition to the wOrkmen to Ego slow
as you are paid by the city,"

Aid. F. G. Barrows-I will put up
$1,000 against $1,000, to be raised by
labor agitators, that can take petit
ton to abolish the eight-hour law and
secure more signatures from bona fide
workingmen to it than they can to pc
tition to have the eight-hour law put
into effect by the city of Minneapolis.
c. J. Buell. hereby offer reward
of $50 to any person who will show from
the present assessed valuation of any
county in Minnesota that majority of
all the actual farmers and workingmen
in such county would not pay directly
less money in taxes under the single
tax plan than they pay now under the
present plan: Present rate 2-7 mills;
land value rate, AZ mills. The single
tax men propose to get the same reve
nue. as now by simply raising the rate
and assessing land values only. ex-

THEIR HIND SIGHT. f,

The repeal of the eight-hour law by
the city council of Minneapolis is serl-
GUS setback to the advancement OF Or
ganized labor in the Northwest, and the
abolition of the days work system,
which is soon to follow, will be another
equally damaging blow. Interviews with
overall prominent leaders of the work
ingmen, largely representing the con-
sentative element, published i'll yester-
days GLOBE, reveal that they are far
from pleased with the attitude of the
new city administration. Their remarks
are worthy of some little consideration
as showing the real situation that is to
be confronted, and the seriousness
of the back-set labor has received
through the carelessnesS, lnditter-
ence, folly, or whatever it may
be called. of the workingmen in
not looking after their interests at the
polls last election. j. p. McGaughey
saws that the eight-hour law was not an
issue at the election. 1t was not openly
an issue, it is true, but the opponents or
Z the movement to shorten the hours OF
lsLor made it an issue with themselves.
The workingmen did not make it an
issue, and are now suffering the conse-
quences. Mr. McGaughey adds slgnifi-
cantly, at will be an issue in 1890" 1t
may be, but the workingmen can ac-
complish very little. If they put labor
representative in the chair of every al
derman whose term expires the Repub-
licans will still have a majority, and Re
puhIicanism is antagOniStic to organ
ized labor, as the councils latest act
abundantly shows.
T. Ell. Lucas says: 1.-The working
men see from the course of the pOlitI-
clans what to expect in the future"
How many years has it taken to find
that out? Why then, did the working
men desert the Democrats who made
the eight-hour law and gave the days
work system a chance for trial?
Thomas A. Clark thinks the eight
hour system has not been given fair
trial. What has that got to do with it?
Cannot he see that the Republicans do
not mean to see that 1t gets fair trial;
that the aldermen in the present coun-
Gil were elected for this very purpose?
The truth is that the WOrklngmen,
by their apathy and selfshness in fail
ing to support the only party that has
Pver shown a disposition to aid them,
have ''killed the goose that laid the
gblden egg" and, to use another time
htnored phase, they are now engaged
in what appears to be with them con-
genial but futile occupation of ''lock-
ing the stable door after the horse has
been stolen"
If they get the eight-hour law re-
established in Minneapolis in the next
ten years they are lucky, and are them
series to blame for the predicament in
which they are placed.

arisen. Saturday last a large delega-
ton from the Hennepin delegation
waited upon the various judges of the
court house and held conference with
them in regard to the needs of the
courts. This matter was brought up
and discussed at some length, and each
judge announced himself as well
pleased with the plan proposed.
"With our rapidly increasing court
business" said one of the officials yes
terday, land with the prospect of hav-
ing one or two more judges in this dis
trict, the necessity of having more
jurors is at once apparent. Every one
at the court house knows that there are
not enough now, and that something
must be done at once to remedy the
difficulty.
The number of jurors to be drawn has
been left entirely optional with the
judges of the court, but it is generally
understood that the total number will
be about 1,50O.

A QUEER MISTAKE.
The Loser of a Fencing Match Got
the Prize.


the Prize.
When Conrelds English Comic opera
company was playing in Kansas City
last week, a gentleman who was smit-
ten with the fair Vienuese lady fencers
offered as prize a handsome diamond
ring, to be contested for by Mrs. Jagge-
man aud Miss Scherer. The conditions
of the contest were that the winner
must touch her opponent three times
with the foil before she was herself
struck. The contest was an exciting
one and was finally won 10y Miss. Jagge-
man, after hard struggle. There was
an encore, of course, and the two ladies
gave another exhibition. Then Mr..
Bell, who was to award the prize, made
the somewhat odd mistake of handing the
diamond ring to Miss Scherer instead of
to Miss ,Jaggeman, the winner. Miss
Scherer wanted Miss Jaggeman to take
the ring, but she would not, saying it
had not been given to her. Finally
Mr.. Bell, in order to arrange matters
satisfactorily to all, stepped to the foot
lights, and, after explaining his mistake
to the audience, handed the ring to Miss
Jaggeman, who smiled her thanks. At
the conclusion of the performance, Sig.
Tomasi, musical director of the COM
pany, was presented with handsome
ivory-handled ebony baton, suitably in
scribed, by the orchestra of the opera
house.

WANTS HIS PROPERTY.

Against WeH.Known People.

Jonas F.. Brown Brings Suit
Against Well-KnOwn People.
Jonas F. Brown has brought an ac-
ton in the district court against Will
liam A. Rogers, Frederick Andrews,
Timothy E. Byrnes and others, to re-
cover possession of part OF block %,
Minneapolis. now occupied by the
Transfer Packing company, and $3.50
per month for the use of it. In his
complaint Mi. Brown states that on
March 20, 1888, William Rogers and
Kate Rogers, his wife, gave to Fred
erick Andrews mortgage of $4,000 on
the land. The complaint further al
leges that on Oct 80, 1888, the defend
ant Rogers was indebted to various peo-
pie to the amount of $4,000 or more,
and after conspiring with T. E. Byrnes,
gave warranty deed of the property to
him, for the purpose of defrauding his
creditors. In the deed of conveyance
the consideration was placed at s2,400,
but Mr.. Brown declares that there was
no consideration given, and that Mr..
Byrnes merely agreed to hold the prop
erty and prevent the same from being
reached by Andrews creditors. The
real estate in question was finally pur-
chased by the complainant, who now
seeks to get possession of it.

FOR MORE JURORS.
A Scheme to Aid the District
Court Of Hennepin County,

For a year or more past the business
of the Hennepip county courts has been
increasing at a rapid rate, and at every
term of court it has been found that
the supply of Jurors was insufficient to
meet the demand. Cases have ire
quentIy been put over because there
was no jury to hear them, and the bust
ness of the courts has been sadly re-
tarded. Instead of issuing a special
vernire for more jurors when the panels
were exhausted, as should have been
done, the various judges dropped into
the habit of holding the same jurors for
two or more terms. AS this cannot
be done legally, there has been more or
less protesting against it on the
Nleart of some of the men who were
called to decide cases, and now that
they know they cannot be called back
for second term. the necessity for
having large panel of Jurors has

EIGHT-HOUH OPINIONS.

DR.. z. r. ellison, father of the eight
hour law III Minneapolis, on being ques
4 toned in regard to its abolition by the
the law shows that it costs the city just
, One-fifth more on that system than by
the ten-hour plan, just as it would be
considering it automatically. The
men did not make good use of the extra
two hours, nor did they do any better
work. The only good that can see to
come from the system is to make more
room for labOrerS."
J. A. Ridgeway, Park Commissioner
AS it was carried oh the last year it
was a great failure, and | am afraid it
can never be made success in mu-
nicipal affairs.
Paul Blackman, President of Lumber
Company--The eight-hOur system as
carried on the past year was an outrage.
1t can never be made practical, for men
will hire men according to special con-
tract and pay them for the time they
work. 1t works an injury to the better
class OF workmen, for they will be
crowded out by worthless fellows anX-
iouS for soft work.
L. j. Carney, paving contractor: My
opinion is that ten hours is short enough
and the council was all right IN abolish
ing the law. There IS not one man in
hundred that would improve his time;
if they would it would be good thing
to have the eight-hour system. If men
working for the city take their pals
and 90 home. and other men at work
see them, it makes them uneasy and i'll
fitted for work.
w. S. Dennis, architect: The council
did Just right. There will never be a
time when eight hours is better for a
man than len. The way for laboring
men to improve their condition is to
learn to do well what they have to do.
1t would be a permanent injury to the
city to have such law.
+. A. Fisher, contractor and builder:
1t was a wise thing to do. 1t is not right
for men who are working for the city to
work eight hours and others ten. 1t is
sure to make dissatisfaction. 1t may
be possible that in the future it will be
advisable. but in the present state of
morality it would not.
Ludwig Arctander-I expected that
the council would abolish the eight
hour law, but did not expect it so soon.
1t was step in the wrong direction.
because it was a step backward. Every
sensible man always wants to see labor
treated well and its reasonable demands
acceeded to, but TINS Is WIollg step,
and Minneapolis will sooner or later
find it out.
Robert Stratton-I believe in the
eight-hour plan and would like to see it
generally adopted ali over the country.
But was not in favor of having it IN
force in Minneapolis alone. If every
city had the same thing it would he all
right. for then there would be no dis
elimination anywhere.
Wanted an Excuse for Existence.
There seems to be some doubt as to
whether the council committee on po-
lice has any duties to perform since the
appointment of the police commission:
The committee from the old council
hadn't met for months, when the term
of Office of the aldermen comprising it
expired. The chairman of the new
committee has called meeting to see if
they have anything to do.
