MINNEAPOLIS
HOME RULE FOR THE PoLlCE

Yesterday morning the GLOBE out
lined the features of the bill prepared
to be introduced amending the act es-
tablishing police commission for Min
neapolis. The new scheme proposes to
have The governor appoint two men,
who, with the mayor. shall constitute
the board. Referring to this, the journal
says:
The only objection to it is that it takes
the Immediate control of the police out
of the hands of officers elected by the
city and places it in the hands of men
who are not directly responsible to the
citizens of Minneapolis. but to the gov
ernor for their action"
This is the one objection the GLOBE
had already found, but the evening
paper goes on to find that it is better 10
have the police control in hands that
are not responsible to the people. There
is the milk in the cocoanut. The Jour
nal represents that class of Republicans
which believes in removing all power
as far as possible from its one and true
source-the people. There is where it
may represent the advocates of central
lied government, but it surely misrep-
resentS the people of Minneapolis. If
they want commission at all, they
want one directly responsible to the
people at the polls. They want that
commission in such shape that they can
express their approval or disapproval
at the polls. The GLOBE understands
that only the first commissioners were
to be appointed by the governor, and
that thereafter they were to be elected
by the people. If this is the correct in
formation, the bill may not meet such
serious opposition. The Journal may
wish to relegate to St. Paul the govern
ment of the people of Minneapolis, just
as it has advocated the relegation OF
local affairs to Legislators who have
never been in the city, but in
this it does not reflect the
sense of Minneapolitans, and it
knows it. Why not have the gov
ernor appoint our school board, and thus
take the schools from the control of
local politics? Why not have the gov
ernor appoint the mayor, and thus save
the agitation and diSorganiZati0n Of all
local electlOnS! w naG MlillledpoilS
wants is local self-goyernment. The
journal is of that class in Minneapolis
which would howl for home rule in Da-
kota and Ireland and then deny it to the
people of Minneapolis.
AS for the police commission, the
GLOBE believes it to be the sense of the
people that it should be abolished, and
that Mayor Babb should be given the
control of the force and held strictly ac
countable for the result. If it is not to
be abolished it is sheer nonsense to
think of any slight change of system.
If the commission is to be given further
trial, let the law stand as it is. Idle
tinkering with the statutes is worse than

CROSS ON THE GRIDIRoN..
His Case on Trial---Costly Blow of
the Fist.

The introduction of evidence in the
case of Ralph Cross was completed last
evening and the case will be summed
up and given to the jury this morning.
A large number of witnesses from
Anoka were examined, who stated that
they had bought goods from Cross and
paid for them in cash, but denied that
they had ever signed any of his con-
tracts. When shown the contracts
to which their names were signed
they pronounced them forgeries. A
number of other witnesses, who denied
either buying any goods of him or sign
ing any contract, also pronounced their
signatures forgerles.
Wilhelm Schmidt claims that on Nov.
%, one James Hassett smote him in the
face with his fist, thereby causing him
considerable pain and anguish, aud also
causing him to feel greatly humiliated.
He has therefore begun an action in the
district court against Hassett for $500
damages

"GENTLEMEN's GAMES"
Amateur Base Ball to Be Played
by "Our Best Young Men,"

by sour Best Young Men"
A very strong effort is afoot not only
to revive base ball interest in Minneapo-
lis, but to give it decided impetus for
the coming season. This effort is not
professional, and it has not for Its OBJ
ject the booming of Minneapolis as
successful league team, but is actuated
by pure love of sport. The actual en-
iOyment of the eXhilarating game and
the healthful, vigorous exercise it car
ries with it, are back of the present
boom, and a number Of prominent
young men are pushing it. 1t is pro-
posed to organize an amateur team and
play ball for amusement, possibly hav-
ing the organization large enough for
two teams. Umpires and regulations
will be adopted and regular games
will be played at the new Morton
park, back of the West hotel. If possi-
BILE, st. Paul, Saltwater and other cities
will be induced to form similar anna
teur teams and exchange games. J.F.
Conklln, r. o. Foster, Hal and Lou
Watson and others are interested in the
plan and meeting will be held Mon
day night at the Boston block to take
the first step.

Must Advertise.

Mary had little lamb, its fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one summer day where lambs should
never go. Then Mary sat her down
and tears streamed from her pretty
eyes, she never found the lamb be-
cause she did not advertise. And
Mary had a brother John, who kept
a village store, he sat down and
smoked his pipe and watched the
open door. And as the people passed
along, but did not stop to buy, John
still sat down and smoked his pipe
and blinked his sleepy eye. And so
the sheriff closed him out, but still he
fingered near; and drop with him a
sympathizing tear. "How is it sis
ter, that these other merchants here
sell all the goods and pay their bills
and thrive from year to year," Re-
Numbering now her own bad luck,
the little maid replies: "The other
fellows get there, John, because they
advertise"

To Those Who Intend to Teach Our
..,, Public Schools. .-

The standard of qualification for
position to teach our Free Schools is
rapidly rising in Tennessee. The
time is near when many who have
been teaching for several. years, will
fail to to obtain a certificate, unless
they prepare themselves by a
thorough drill in the Elementary
Branches. Young ladies and gentle
men who do not spell correctly, and
who do not use correct language in
conversation, and who cannot write,
fold, and direct a respectable letter,
will soon find themselves left out,
when they make application to a
County Superintendent.
In view of these facts, I propose to
teach a school for two months, in Nc
Minnville, commencing on Monday,
May 20, and closing on Friday, July
II.
Pupils will be thoroughly drilled
In all the Branches that are taught
in our Free Schools. An oppsrtuni-
ty will be given to any who may
wish to take a thorough course in
Bookkeeping.
Reed & Kellogg's Grammers will be
used, but all are requested to lbring

have
