MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

Judge Emery, of the municipal court,
has been forced to protest against the
hypocrisy of the good-lord-and-gOod-
devil retrenchment and reform admin
istratlOn. He believes that certain
select few saloons and gambling houses
are allowed to run by the police author
tiles in open violation of The law. He
has felt 1t incumbent upon himself TO
appeal to the head of the administra-
ton, Mayor Babb. and threatens to re-
sign unless attention is paid to his pro-
test.
ut is a notorious fact" says the
iudge. .'that certain gambling places
have been running right along under
the protection, as it seems, or the po-
lice | called the mayors attention 10
this and told him that it seemed that
The police were connivlng at the VIOLA
tions of the law. L did not charge
Mayor Babb with it because believe
ne is above such thing, but said 1t
seemed that the police intentionally
violated their duties in allowing these
places to rum"
~ DON'T known that told the mayor
so, but | say so now, that unless l see
that the police make some honest efforts
to enforce the laws Ill not be made
stool pigeon of. l can make living
without stultifying myself and sitting
on bench administering travesty on
Justice, | don't know that l said this
to the mayor, but may have. at any
rate mean that"
Do the people of Minneapolis need
any further proof of the incompetency
of this administration than that when
comes from a judge, who, in reOuRe Oh
the party that placed him upon the
bench, says that he cannot In nonor re-
tain the position WHICH is MADE mock
ery of Justice. And still Babb wants
an Endorsement.
IT is said that Langdon and Fletcher
will let the young men make the ngnt
against Merriam. They are too OLD TO
be caught committing political SUICIDE.
The council last night repudiated the
imputation that this is practically pro
hibitionist administration. The city
treasurer was requested to pay all city
employes before the 4th of July.
Aid. Parry made another enemy last
night. AID. lngenhutt's cigars were 100
popular with him, and hereafter. Joe
viii never take the trouble TO Keep
Parry awake.
Charley Gilman was in the city yes
terday in consultation with K. ID. 4.
Whitley and the other arbiters OF the
political destiny of the state. 1t is be-
lleved that Merriam was ruled OH INC
track for driving too fast.
According to Harlow Gales plans for
a market. the West hotel and the Ma
sonic Temple or the houses OF lli-fame
must move out. Since the two former
are of the newest construction, IL GER
tainly looks bad for them.
It is the intention OF the city council
to vote the thanks OF the city 10 Ala.
Vandewaker at the next meeting. he
refrained from making speech last
night.
Mons Baker, the singer who ren-
dered his Temperance Marseilialse 1or
the jubilee meeting, gave verse OF IL,
and then improved the occasion ny
starting off on spread-eagie speech
that promised to last out the balance OF
his natural life. This is the first time

It will now be In order for the 'crank"
to come forward with letters to the
local press, telling how he knew all
along that the Minneapolis ball team
was the only genuine aggregation OF
ball tossers on earth. and how no team
in the country has license to beat 1t In
a match game. There is no nature SO
tickle as that of the man who knows
all about base ball and thinks itself
qualified to give valuable hints to the
management.
Rip Van Wrinkles soliloquy. Glow
soon we are forgotten when were
gone" will hardly apply in the case OF
Manager Baker, of the opera company.
Many are the people who will remember
him long, and many will be the al
iectives peculiar to theatrical people,
with which his memory will be greeted.
""Iis sweet to know there is an eye
will watch our coming, and look
brighter when we come"
WTis sweet to be awakened by the
lark or lulled by falling water' but the
fall in temperature promised by the
weather clerk would meet general favor,
and be hailed with delight by every
citizen who has not mortgage on a
soda fountain.
