THANKS FOR SMALL FAVORS.
Gov. Merriam Rewards Political
Friends With appointments to
State Offices.
Gov. Merriam devoted yesterday to
appointments at his disposal. The law
recognizing the state prison manage
ment increased the boart of managers
from three to five. The new appointees
are:
Edwin Dunn, of Eyota, for a term of one
year, First congressional district.
James o'Brien: of saltwater. for term Of
two years, Fourth congressional district.
John F. Norrish, of Hastings, for term Of
three years, Third congressional district
Frank Temple, of Blue Earth City. for
term of four years, Second congressional dis
trict.
John C. Hunter, of Duluth, for a term of
five years, from the Fifth congressional dis
trict.
Messrs. Dunn and Norrish were men,
berS of the old board Of managers. A.
K. Doe, of Saltwater, is the one in
spector ''let out" The new board of
managers will meet at Saltwater We'd
nesday, when they will organize and
select warden. II. G. StordOck is
likely to succeed himself as warden.
Gov. Merriam also appointed as boiler
inspectors:
Samuel D. Brear, of Winona, First Con-
gressional district.
Charles A. Bison, Of Henderson, Second
Congressional district.
E. G. Bloomfield, OF Willmar, Third Con-
gressionai district
r. c. Clarke, of st. Paul, Fourth Con.
gressional district
W. D. Tomlin, Of Dulath, Fifth Congress
ional district.
Of these, W. D. Tomlin and Charles
A. Bison succeed themselves, and
James W. Morse is superseded by r. G.
Clarke, of ST. Paul. The latter has been
an employe in the Manitoba shops. The
board of boiler inspectors was increased
to five by the late legislature. The new
inspectors meet at the capitol Thursday
for organization. Gov. Merriam also
created the position of surveyor of logs
and lumber for the Fourth district,
which takes in the lower Mississippi,
and has appointed Lin Whitmore, of
Wabasha. Hitherto the logs of this dis
trjet have been inspected by Wiscon-
sin inspector, and in Difference to the
wishes of lumbermen a Minnesotian
official has been appointed. There are
four other appointments which Gov.
Merriam has not yet filled-the two adj
ditional members OF the board of re-
gents and the two deputy labor
commissioners. For the latter COM
missioner Lamb has selected j.
A. johnson and J. f. CrOnin.
of st. Paul. Mr.. johnson is carpenter
and very intelligent young man. He
is emineDtly fitted for the post. Mr..
Crenin is widely known as the secre-
senlblies in st. Paul. 1t is untrue that
Gov. Merriam blankly informed Com
missioner Lamb that he could not con-
firm these appointments; be merely
stated that he required time to consider
them. Louis Memo is an appl icant for
the position of deputy commissioner,
and he has received favorable encOur-
agement at the hands of Gov. Merriam,
who placed him temporarily in the Office
of the dairy commissioner. The out
come will be that during the present
week Commissioner Lamb will have an
Interview with Coy. Merriam and
mutual understanding will be arrived
at Mr.. Lamb will drop either Cronin
or johnson, when Memo will slip in and
there will be nothing left but for Gov.
Merriam to add his blessing.
CLARK's CONUNDRUMs.
The Chief of Police Gives Jud se
Cory Several Digs Under the
Fifth Rib. ss51.ss
To the Editor Of the Globe. ss..s.s
In reply to communication written
by Judge Cory and published in your
paper of this date, / desire to say:
Either Judge Cory makes false state
ments or the reports made by the clerk
of the municipal court for the years 1887
and 1883 are not to be relied upon. l
have nothing but the reports made by
the clerk on which to base my state
ments, and am of the opinion that an
investigation of the matter wilt not only
show my inquiries TO be we'll timed, but
will result in considerable benefit to the
taxpayers and public at large. The re-
court as published i'll the an
nual report of city officers for 1887
page 1872 gives the following, under the
head of disposition of criminal eases,
s'Fines RENTED, thirty-eight.'' On
page 293, under the heading of criminal
receipts, is the following: "Fines re-
mitted. $685."
In the report of the clerk of the mu-
nicipal court for the year 1888, the num-
Der Of fines remitted is not given, but
instead they are called ''Fines returned
on cases reopened for new trials and re-
mitted." The report of the clerk for
1888 shows 500, 1926 collected from
criminal cases. From this amount $50
is deducted, .'S445 is fines returned on
cases reopened for new trials" and
'.s65 fines remitted,' which makes
the total net receipts S2S.632. Sd,
or $50 short of what was collected.
This showing does not, in my opinion,
bear out Judge C0ry's statement that
no fines have been RENTED during the
past two years. As to the statement
made by Judge Cory, that mo releases
were ordered from the workhouSe eX-
cept on the written recommendation of
the mayor of the city and the city at
torney," I would call his attention to
that part of the report of the superin-
tcndent of the workhouse, published
on page $40 of the annual re-
ports of city officers for 1887.
where he will find the following:
discharged by order of the municipal
court. 2O4." And in this same connec-
ton. it may interest him to turn to the
