WHO WILL GET 1T?
The Struggle Over the Filling OF a
Police Captaincy.

With all due respect for the maXim,-
Uneasy lies the head which wears a
CROWN it may be said with equal truth
that the head which hopes to wear
crown does not lie in perfect peace. To
some men the gold star of police cap
tain means as much as would crown
to others, hence it is to be inferred that
there are some very uneasy heads in
the Minneapolis police force now.
The recent separation between the
police force and Robert r. Harvey
renders it necessary to appoint or pro-
mote some man to fill the vacant cap
taincy, and there are several men con-
nected with the department who prOba-
bly would not object to being placed in
the eX-captain'S shoes. There is cOnSid-
cradle speculation among the men as to
who will be the lucky one. Lieuts.
Bean. of the East side, and Day, of the
central station, are both being talked of.
Both are excellent men and good Off
GERS; both have had long experience on
the force, and there. is no good rea-
son for objection to either. 1t is
probable that one of them will get the
place, and perfectly proper that it
should be so. Which one matters little
to the citizens, who. after all, are the
parties most interested. SergeantS VOlk.
Leonard and Koskran, of the central
station, are undoubtedly open to en-
eagements if the filling of the Office
above named should cause a vacant
lieutenantcy, and again the choice is
hard to make. To-day's meeting of the
commission will undoubtedly decide
these questions.

A Woman Enlivens Dull Sunday

A middle-aged woman rather above

"FAITHFUL is HE."
Extracts From a Sermon Yester-
day by DIR. Charles f. Thwing.

Rev. DR.. Charles F. Thwing preached
Yesterday morning at Plymouth church
TO a good audience, taking as his text
the tWenty-fourth verse of the fifth
chapter of Thessalonians, the verse just
following his last Sundays text:
Faithful is He that calleth you: Who
will also do it,
He spoke without the use of notes or
manuscript, and for that reason his ser
mon seemed to come all the more direct
from him to his audience, individuals of
which were heard to remark at its close
that it was one of the best sermons they
had ever heard DIR. Thwing preach.
He announced at the outset that his
subject would be in particular in what
regards Christ was faithful to mankind.
In the course of his sermon he spoke of
the conception that the old masters
among the artists must have conceived
of Christ in order to have represented
him as repelling sinners with stern
face at the Judgment day. He did not
think of such a Christ. but of one
ALWAYS ready to forgive sinners, for he
believed that every one who would
might be saved. He said that one must
remember the story of the prOdigal son
in thinking in that connection. The
father was ready and more than willing
to forgive, but first the son must
return from his evil ways. He did not
believe in Universalism he said, and felt
sure that his hearers would put the
proper construction on his words when
he said that there would be no time
when those who would might not be
saved, for the Savior was always gra-
cious and faithful unto those he called.
Again, after referring to the relative
ease of living bad or good life, and
speaking of the earthly penalty for
sin and crime, by the torture and vast
ing of the body, and the pangs of re.
morse, he spoke of what heaven and
hell, to his mind, really were. He
said that he no more believed that hell
was fire than he believed heaven gold.
They were both fgurative terms to
convey ideas of the mind. Fire was
refining and purifying. and at the same
time fiercely torturing, so also he be-
lieved were the punishments of hell:
He thought the conception of hell
necessary to conception of a heaven
there must be both.

ment of some of the milder crimes. but
advised a treatment of burglars that
cannot be commended. He said he
would talk to burglar in hos house in
the friendliest manner, would give him
what he needed, and if he then stole
more, would make no effort to have him
arrested, but ask him to call again.
He said he firmly believed that if the
New York citizen who was recently
killed in a contest with burglar, had
but acted in this way, the burglar would
have left without even stealing and
''with a moral uplitt that might have
made him better man;n and even if he
had stolen, it would have been better to
leave him unarrested, to be punished by
his own conscience and public opin-
ion." "Such moral methods" Mr.. Pen
tecost says, would conduce to the pub
lie safety" Now, it is hard to see how
the public safety would be served by
the liberty of man who breaks into
houses and kills the owners, who object
to it. Nor is burglar with his pocket
full of pistols likely to be reformed by
"his own conscience and public Opin-
ion," for he defes public opinion and
has no conscience to speak of. Proba
bly,, too, the talk would have to
be wisely managed to give such
a man a "moral uplift." Doubt
less MIR. PentecOst's kindness, and the
bishops generosity to Jean Vatican. and
Jesus precept to give a coat-thief
cloak besides, would soften and save
many a criminal. But this method
would not work as a general custom.
Burglars would certainly be much more
active and numerous, if they risked no
danger, but that of hearing little lee
ture from frightened man in his night
clothes, to be followed by present and
an invitation to come and get another.
A wise man with revolver at his head
might perhaps treat burglar with eX-
treme hospitality, but would prefer to
shoot him if he could. Moral suasion is
good, but will not tame tiger or
convert crocodile, and the brutal
spirit in their human cousins calls for
something besides kindness. Our
criminal laws are not just. and even
university president said that the crimes
for which many men are imprisoned,
are mere peccadilloes compared with
those by which others gain high office
and honor. But crimes of violence call
for nothing less than prison walls.

NOT DENIED AS YET.
Quite Probable That Capt.
Harvey Is Still in Min
neapolis,
And There Is Nothing to Pre-
vent His Remaining
Here.
Meanwhile the Selection Of
His Successor Attracts
Attention.
A Woman Has Fun With the
Poliee--Sunday Ser
mons.

The report published in yesterdays
GLOBE to the effect that Capt. Harvey
is still in Minneapolis, and has been in
hiding here ever since he was released
from the police force, created quite a
sensation in police circles, and was one
of the chief topics at the city hall yes
terday. The police are somewhat ret
icent when questioned regarding the
matter, and claim ito disbelieve it, but
certain it is that some of the higher Of
fieials strongly suspicion that he was in
the city up to the time of the publlca-
ton afOre mentioned and may still be
"under cover" as they express 1t.
Legal authorities are of the opinion
that Anderson, the man whose watch
and money Harvey is supposed to have
taken, would be obliged to bring a civil
action for the recovery of his property,
as the transaction by which Harvey
came into possession of it leaves him
open neither TO a charge of embeZzle-
ment or larceny, so that so far as is
now known there is no chauce for
criminal prosecution. Save for the large
number of civil suits which would I'M
doubtedly be brought, no reason why
Capt. Harvey could not return and live
quietly in Minneapolis if he so desired.

AN EXCITED COLONEL"

s'Col." Charles w. johnson. IN his
capacity as an old soldier" however
that capacity can be measured, seems
to have been loaded up with delirious
notions about war, blOodshed and the
horrors of Internecine strife on his last
trip to Washington. he got 1t into MS
military head that the nation was crit
icaIIy situated" as soon as Judge Rea
was mentioned for pension commits
siOner, and eXerted his great influence
TO arrest the catastrophe, happily with
success. While the sweat OF battle was
still upon him he sat down and wrote the
only thoroughly active and aggressive
MINNEAPOLIS PAPER an Old-time letter,
such as the boys used to write on their
lrumheads lust before the enemy
passed by on the other side OF the nil.
1t is full of blood-raw ideas, expressed
I'm blood-raw rhetoric. He discusses the
the organization OF the next house OF
representatives like a Schoolboys on eX-
hibition day, and informs the tremDiing
cohcressmen on the Bourbon side "that
paralvsIs of the majority is legislative
anarchy.'' and adds that Reed, Mckln-
ley. Cannon. Burrows. ButteTWorth. etc..
are not the men to be scared by
the Cates-Springer-Bynum variety
of statesman. OF course not. so long as
they are backed up by the wealth of ex-
perience and determined valOr OF
statesman of the Johnson species. 1hen
this bold-browed, immOvable Spartan
passes on to the Malone campaign and
perpetrates the following charming adj
IlitiOn TO current blOody-shirt ut
erature: There is not the Shght,
est doubt that Malone will poll
n majority himself for governor and
for the legislature which, if Repnb-
lican. will elect him to the senate again:
but the question is will he be cheated
out of the fruits of victory by the
count? Not without shock involving
bloodshed." The GLOBE has more than
once called the public's attention to the
fact that the Colonel was not up to
his old standard of political usefulness;
and submits that this Old-fashioned
Washington letter proves that what the
Colonel needs is dose of pennyrOyal
tea and to be put to bed.
