A GOOD story is told of Senator Jud
Lamoure of n orth Dakota, which goes
good ways to prove that there is a
good deal in name sometimes. The
story which is nothing less than a bit of
Jud's family history, is not always
taken in good part by sJud. According.
to the historian Jud was born of Irish
and French parents in lower Canada,
possibly Quebec; that his fathers nam
was Moore, and when young Moore
started out in life he did not like the
idea of having an Irish name. When
he settled in Pembina, he found there
were many French halfbreeds, and be-
ing able to speak French, for his mother
had taught him the language, he decided
to come as near them as possible for
political reasons, so he added La to
Moore and substituted for o in
Moore thus giving it French turn as
it were Whenever any of Jud's friends
introduce this subject, he quietly leaves
for other parts. 1t is the only thing
that seems to hurt his feelings.

THAT DOODLE" INVESTIGATION,
When the Minneapolis city council

THAT DOODLE" INVESTIGATION.
When the Minneapolis city council
started out to investigate certain
charges Of corruption made against
some OF its members by the Times, we
were of the opinion that the council
meant business, and no whiteWash. II
certainly started nut we'll, but when it
came to a certain place. it stopped very
suddenly, and without any notice
either. Every one supposed the council,
or rather the investigating committee
appointed by the council, was sincere
until the witnesses summoned began
TO give evidence that reflected seriously
on some of the Republican aldermen.
That changed matters very much. and
from that time ON the committee made
little or no effort TO bring out the facts
which the public have right to know.
On the contrary everything apparently
Yyas done that could be done to cover up
the rottenpess that was forcing itself to
the surface in spite Of the efforts OF GER
tain city officials to keep 1t under
ground. Now real estate dealer
named, J. H. Rnshford comes out with
the statement that he is aware of
''crookeds work having been done in
the fight over the Anderson & Douglass
street car franchise. It seems TO us that
the grand jury ought to call all these
unwilling witnesses before lt,and find
out what is the matter. They cannot
refuse TO go before that body, and it
they do they will find 1t very uncomfort-
able to live in Minneapolis. Let the
investigating committee from the city
council be discharged and the whole
matter turned over TO the grand Jury to
investigate.

THIS fact must not be lost sight Of,
VIZ: That Aid. Sterling is in the real
estate business. When an alderman
tries to sell city pre pertY, AID demands
a commission from the purchaser. it
would look as If the latter were given a
bargain. otherwise he could not afford
TO nav the commission which the owner
of the property usually pays. The city
would, in such a case, be the loser 81. We
believe there is CITY ordinance which
reads something like this :" No alder,
man or other city official shall be en-
gagged in any city job or contract, etc. :"
When this Eighth ward alderman comes
up for reelection next fall the voters
Of that ward should not forget this.

THE BENNETT LAW.

The coming political fight in Wiscon.
sin seems to be largely based on the
Bennett Law. The religious question:
has been forced into the discussion bear
ing on this point, and naturally enough,
too. from the nature of the law which
/ the Catholics and Lutherans are en-
to defeat, We have not a
copy of this law at hand, but from our
recollections of 1t we would infer that
the state exercises the same rights over
private that it does over public schools.
This in itself is nothing more or less
than the abolishlng Of the parochial
school, or what comes nearer home. the
conhscation of private property SO far
as 1T pertains to education. This may
appear all right to some, but it cannot
stand tbs test of good, sound American
reasoning. The Catholic people Of
Wisconsin, like their kinsmen in Min
nesota, contribute their quota of taxes
10 the public school fund. and if they
see fit to maintain their own schools IN
dependent of the public schools, it seems
that they should have the same rights
Sinthis particular that they have in the
selection Of their clothes or food. The

Waste of Water.

Editor Morning Ne,Us: Facts always
strike the mind like great recognized moral
truths. There is no disputing them and
mankind is warned and guided by them. 1t
is fact that the water waste in our city is
beyond question extravsgant and unneces-
sary. In looking over the Scientific Amer
lean my eye rested upon the following fact !:
In the annual report of the GAINESVILLE,
o., water works, recently issued, there is a
table published which is sufficient to aston
ish the unthinking who indulge freely in the
water waste business
The table gives various sizes and pipes
head and pressure, and commences with an
aperture, the diameter of which is one
sixty-fourth part of an iuch, equivalent to
that OF cambria needle.
Under head of $50 feet, equivalent TO
pressure Of almost IS pounds to the square
inch, the quantity of water which would es-
cape during the year if the vent were al
ways open. would reach 90. $50 gallons.
Through an orit1ce the size of PIN equal to
one thirty-second of an inch, the quantity
escaping in the same time and under the
same pressure would be ,632 gallons per
year.
Now, lot Mr.. Manning figure out what
would be the waste from an orifice the size
of lead pencil or lady's little finger.
Such facts and figures ought to be given to
the public. r, M. o.

Doubtless, owing to the fact that the
colored people having taken unto themselves
the names, both baptismal and surname, of
well-known families, there is considerable
confusion occasionally created by funeral
notices of colored people being published
without anything to denote the race of the
deceased, and his or her friends 1t is. how
ever. simply impossible to make a
distinction 10 this respect without
mourning the risk of confusion
worse confonnded" by offending
white people who offer funeral notices for
publication by asking whether the lamented
dead is white or colored, and also taking
the ch ance of sometimes making the mis-
take Of making white corpse of black
one or black corpse of white one. 1t is
unfortunate that the distinction suggested
by Subscribers" can not be made, but the

without making an undertakers' trust and
