PARK MATTERS.

The park board is being roundly de-
hounced IN certain quarters because the
money expended by it is devoted so
largely to improving land about the
lakes and the boulevards leading to
them. People who live or own property
in North, South or East Minneapolis
think the funds should be distributed
pro rata. There is a good deal of truth
and justice IN this. At the same time
the park board is in peculiar predica-
ment. The duty to posterity makes 1t
almost imperative that land should be
secured now when it can be had cheap,
which can be in the future improved
and beantifed for the benefit OF the
people. At the same time the improve
ments about the lakes have reached the
point when the temptation to finish this
work there, or add some needed feature
here, is we'll nigh irresistible. In con-
tinuing the work of dredging Lake of the
Isles the board is doubtless acting wisely
even if upjustly. The park commits
sion this year is spending in advance
about all the money that will be forth
coming next year, so the Democrats
will have but little with which to carry
Oh the work when they come into power.
This is another injustice, TO be sure, but
at the same time the peoples money is
being put into permanent improve
ments that can never be lost, strayed or
stolen, and this aspect of the situation
should have soothing effect.
Il
Just now, for instance, it is possible
to secure drive along the river bank,
from Minnehaha Falls to the Riverside
park. This will give continuous drive
way from the city, starting at Central
park, out Kenwood boulevard past Lake
of the Isles, Calhoun and Harriet, by
the way of Minnehaha creek boule-
ward to Riverside park The idea
is grand one that will be of a
benefit to the city that cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents. The
frontage on the river must be secured
soon or it will be forever lost. Still,
the people living in the suburbs will
doubtless protest against the necessary
expenditure, for the reason that the
parks in their respective vicinities need
improvement. Col. w. S. King has Of
fered the city tract of land on Lake
Calhoun, which is greatly desired,
upon the following terms: He will
allow the park board to appoint COM
mittee to appraiSe the value of the land
at reasonable figures, then he will

for the land. This propositiyn is very
advantageous to the city, but the board
will be open to the same criticism of
favoriteiSm if it takes it up.
IL
The park board should, however, be
as jealous of its rights when acquired,
as it is Jealous in acquiring them. The
proposition to put street car lines on
Hennepin boulevard that is now before
it amounts to sacrilege. This is at
present the only driveway to the lakes,
and to put street car lines Oh it and
give up the boulevard is to ruin one of
the few handsome aven ues that have
not been turned over to the street rail
way company. Street cars to the lax es
are well enough, but it is hardly neces-
sary to give up the only boulevard in
the city to secure them.

FOR PROHIBITION.
Rev. w. w. Satterlee Opens the
Meeting OF the w. @. T. u. 81

Meeting Of the w. @. T. u. 8,
Rev. ". w. Satterlee opened the
meeting at the w. G. L. U. coffee palace
yesterday afternoon. He said that he
had but a short time to stay with them,
as he had an engagement to fill else
where, and as the invitation to speak
had come to him suddenly he had no
time to prepare speech, but would say
few words to the point in as short a
space of time as possible. -
81 think" said he, 'sthat there are
three fundamental principles to hold to
in this great temperance work of ours.
They are agitation, diSintegration and
unifcation. AS for agitation, there are
many who believe that the numbers are
too small to successfully do any work in
that direction, and urge more instruc-
ton. I tell you the people are instructed
all that is needed, and what is wanted
now is thorough and comprehensive
agitation. As to the numbers, [ am
better satisfied that they are not larger.
Give me fifty converts, such as / could
name, and | will guarantee that the
cause would be success as speedy as a
whirlwind. Give me fifty of the leading
editors of the country and how the bal
ance of the people would follow. Never
mind the masses, it is not them we want.
Give us the leaders and the masses will
follow. We are plenty powerful
enough, only get to work, all Of you,
and success will crown our efforts
Agitate everywhere and all the time.
'Now, as to disintegration; that is to
be great factor. Let us only get the
foe divided. The time will come when
these various interests will quarrel with
each other, and then is the time when.
by a united effort, our cause will win.
The government is in the saloon bust
ness n6w, and is partner with the dis
tillerS to the amount of 80 cents Oh every
gallon of liquor manufactured. They
see that their share is collected, too, for
do not the gaugers and the like keep
track of everything that is going on that
the government may not be cheated
out of its rightful share In the business.
This must be stopped in some way, and
the time will come when the party in
power will quarrel with the saloon in
terest, and then the crash will come.
Let US ask for all we want. not for what
we think we can get, and in that way
mand high, and the compromise will be
the greater in the end. If you want
the total humiliation of the saloon
and the liquor traffic, then ask for it,
and afterward take what you can get.
The Republican party will give us
little that we ask for, then let us de-
mand more than we want, if that be
possible, and we will get something.
have been asked, would you not rather
have half loaf than no loaf at all?
and have answered, no, not If that
half loaf be poison.
Nov as to unifcation, think that
we should have that. Not as one body,
but all the separate ones should work
together for the same end, keeping their
separate organizations, and in the end,
with little patience, victory is certain.
Only wait and hope" =

POLICEMEN NOT NEEDED.
Demonstrations in Hyde Park
Unusually Peaceful.

LONDON, July 5.-Chief of Police
Bradford made extraordinary prepare
tions to-day to prevent any disorder in
Hyde Park, where the inhabitants of the
East End were to make a demonstra-
ton, with no particular object in view
except to assert their right to use the
park as meeting place when
ever they please. There were 1000
extra policemen stationed in the park
and along the route of the procession,
in addition to large regular force and
100 mounted reserves. They had orders
to charge the crowd upon the first sign
of disorder, but they had no occasion to
execute the orders. as everything passed
off peacefully and in an orderly manner,
and the turnout was not large one.
Rain fell during the afternoon, and this
had the effect of spelling the demonstra-
ton, much to the disappointment of
Bradford's friends, who would have
preferred thatan opportunity be afforded
the new head of the police force of
showing how we'll he could handle his
men. The speeches made in the park
were of moderate character.

SOME CONSOLATION.
Gold Can Buy Curses as Well as
Blessings

Christ yesterday morning. preached

temple. The gates of it were plated
with gold. The gate called Beautiful
was of Corinthian brass, even more ex-
pensive than gold. Over it there
was entwined golden grapevine, with
clusters of golden grapes, each as large
as mans body. Surrounded by such
extravaganza of characterization sat the
lame beggar. He dared not touch one
leaf of all this gold. 1t was to be looked
at, not to feed the hungry. He begged
pitiful pennies of paSsers-by. It is a
shameful contrast. The apostles words
seem uttered as much in satire as in
love: 'Silver and gold have none. but
such as have give l thee; in the name
ofJesus Christ of Nazareth arise and
walk"
There is something better than
wealth. He who has nothing but
wealth Is the poorest of the poor
70 the miser gold is a ruinous bur-
den. Shakespeare says:
II thou art rich thou art poor;
For like an ass, whose back with nigots
bows
Thou dearest thy heavy riches but q
journey,
And death unloads thee.
Gold can buy curses as well as bless
ings. When .TimOn of sAthens became
a misanthrope he lavished gold on
whom he hated; he thought it the most
effectual way to curse them. In the
hands of the good man gold is good, for
it is the purchase power of much that
blesses. In the hands of bad man
gold is bad, for it is the purchase power
of quic ker damnation.
There is famous "beggar on horse
back. riding' = the maxim states
whittier. He is the politician, beggared
in conscience, riding on "boodle." The
ride alone, but he carries the ballot box
with him. and all the political machin-
cry so far as he can. If the political
Judases, who sell themselves and their
sovereign states to the whisky rings
and the lottery kings, had but enough
principle left to go and decently hang
themselves, we might yet be saved.
Since they have not enough patriotism
for that, we must either hang them,
politically, or go to political perdition
with them.
Again, the famous horseback rider is
the young man beggared in morals and
intelligence riding on his fathers
plethoric purse. His story is too famil-
lar. We all know where be goes. The
Scotch have a saying: 1.-THE grandsire
digs. the father bigs, the son thlgs."
That is, the grandfather earns fortune,
the father spends it, and the son steals.

NO PARTY POLITICS.

The Minneapolis Trade and La
Dor Assembly Speaks.
The regular meeting of the trade and
labor assembly met at Labor Temple
yesterday. A communication from
Senator Davis was read, in which the
senator pledges himself to oppose, to
the extent of his power, the convict
labor law, in so far as it applies to con-
tract work. The senator's position
was commended. Delegates were
elected to the state Federation
of Labor which will meet in St.Paul to-
day. In the election of these delegates
the assembly took advanced action on
the matter of politics. The delegates
are instructed to oppose, by every means
in their power. the Introduction of party
politics into the meeting, or any action
on politics, so far as any political party
is concerned. Should the political
question arise in the meeting of the
federation, the Minneapolis delegates
are instructed to withdraw.
The typographical union also met at
Labor Temple, but did nothing besides
routine business connected solely with
the unions affairs. A committee was
appointed to represent the union in the
meeting tonight on the labor cpicni
matter.

Looking Forward.

Last evening, at the Pine street church,
Rev. Samuel Small of Atlanta, delivered his
lecture on Looking Forward" Mr.. Small
said that it was greater pleasure to look
forward than 1t was to look back, for in the
latter case there might be some extremely
disagreeable things that would come up. In
the case of imagining the future we had 1t
all our own way and could construct sys-
TEN to suit ourselves. Yet in building up a
future there were certain things that must
be considered. He pictured American his
tory from the beginning and then asked
what such beginning might presage. Re-
plying to his own question he said that he
believed America to be the elect land where
the ideal of the world should be brought to
pass. America. he said is synonym for op-
portunity. and if the opportunities were not
let slip. the manifest destiny would come.
Standing in the way, however, of this mile
mum are certain evils that are grow
ing into prominence, and which must be
disposed of. The first of these Is the propo-
ernment. He paid his respects to the agnos.
tics and atheists who promulgate that belief
and turned to the public school question.
The public school, he said, Is assailed by two
enemies, the Catholic hierarchy, who seek
to demolish wnat they call its nOn-sectarian
character: the second. the saloon power
which seeks to demolish the scientific tenn
perance instruction. Other evils that beset
the land and hinder the coming of the de-
sired day are the immigration, not of future
citizens, but of those who seek to erect In
this land the institutions, which they sought
to destroy in their own lands. The swift
ness with which these people are made vot-
ers is another danger. The Mormon ques-
tion is cancer in the heart of the land which
must be cut out before long. The saloon
question is another matter that must be set
tied, and he prophesied its speedy SETTLE
ment in the interest of prohibition as Op-
posed to high license, which he characterized
as about the most feeble expedi,nt yet de-
vised to palliate what it could not cure.
