The decision rendered Monday by
Judge Mahoney, while looked upon by
nine out of every ten men as Just and
right. will probably not meet with the
unanimous approval of the members OF
the park board. That body looks upon
the bOulevaTds as its exclusive property.
and it has made rules describing Just
what kind of vehicles shall invade their
sacred precincts. Judge MahOney has
decided that a man has perfect right
TO take his family out for pleasure
drive in his business wagon. and that
he has Just as much right on the boule-
ward as his more fortunate neighbOr
who owns a handsome carriage.
An ATTEMPT has been made to make
the citizens meeting which was held in
the council chamber on Monday night
have a particular political significance
and to prove that it was the opening
gun OF DR.. kilYingtOn'S campaign for
the mayoIaltv. Dr. KilYingtOn says
emphatically that he is not candidate
for any office, and what is more, he
would not accept the mayOralty If
nominated and elected; so the young
men who have been trying TO spring a
sensation have only wasted their pow
der.
1t is probable that the crossing cases
will come up before the council cOmit-

compromise. and now that the matter is
practically settled some OF the members
Of the council are apt to hamper the
closing OF the deal by tacking on few
more items which ''Wiil benefit the city"

The sad drowning of the two little
girls yesterday goes TO show that there
are a few mean men left in Mlnneapo-
lis. a sturdy Bohemian, who was with
in easy reach of one of the girls. refused
to aid her. and kept on with his work of
gathering drift wood. What a contrast
there was between the action of the
man and the boy Johnson, who unhesl-
tatingly jumped into the water and sue
ceeded in saving one child and recover
ing the body of one of the others. But,
then, Ed Johnson is a Minnesota boy,
and the kind that make good citizens.
e The members of the st. Louis coun-
Gil carried away with them anything
but a pleasant remembrance of the hos
pitality of Minneapolis. The mayor
was notified when the party would ar
rive, but no one was at the depot to
meet them. and the visitors were al
lowed to wander around without any
one to point out the beauties of the
great metropolis of the Northwest"
