THEY ARE HAPPY NOW.
The Police Commission Raises the
Salaries of Its Officers.

For the first time since February the
police commission yesterday had full
meeting OF the board. Mayor Babb re-
turned in time to preside at the meet
ing, and he was as pleasant to Commits
sioner Gjertsen as if he had never told
a Washington correspondent that he
had found it necessary to hire private
detective to keep tab Oh his colleague.
The first business Of the meeting was
to raise the salaries of all of the officers
S. per month. This is a restoration to
the rate prevailing before the recent
reduction. In explaining the matter
Mayor Babb said:
The pay roll was reduced because we did
not have the money to pay the force at the
salary the men were getting. Five dollars
was taken from the pay of all the men. Now
that we found we would have money enough
to pay the full salary, it is simply restored to
the old figure.
Charges of drunkenness and other
conduct unbecOming an officer were
preferred by Chief Bracket were made
against Patrolman Won Trieb, and he
was discharged. Bills amounting to
$G13.O4 were ordered paid. Hereafter
captains and lieutenantS will wear a
SLOUGH hat instead of a cap. The cap
tainS will have double and the lieu
tenants a single gold cord around their
hats. II. b. Cook, Charles Mcclure, A.
Schwartz and @. r. Shoemaker were
appointed special officers for the ball
park, and William Brown for the dime
museum.

ALL Will SPEAR 1T.

There need be little concern for the
English language. 1t is the aggressive,
growing speech Of Christendcm. Re-
cent tourists allege that it is good all
the way round the world. and involves
no particular inconvenience at any
point. The number who speak it has
grown far more in the last half-century
than in the case of any other enlight-
ened speech. 1t is now used by $780,
600, 900 people, which the philologists
say is 100000 more than those who
use German and French combined. 1t
is very rare that the children of lmmi-
grants of any other tongue fail to learn
the English so as to talk it as readily as
the vernacular of their parents. The
old people do not always acquire it. but
very extensive acquaintance among
Germans and Scandinavians hardly af-
fords instances where the children are
not encouraged to learn the language of
the country. and that, too, without
legal compulSion.

A GRAND r.HARD ROLE.

1t is magnificent thing to be car,
to be absolute monarch of the most
populous nation of Christendom and be
able to dictate to millions of men. A
car has splendid palaces, plant people
all about him to serve his slightest
humor and execute his behests. All
the savory, delicious and luxurious
things of earth come in regal fullness at
his nod. He can make war Or impose
peace upon the great nations without
having to genuflect before any combina-
ton of wiseacres who claim to share the
power. There is no present situation
among the big things of the planet that
has more to initiate the person and mind
of an aspiring individual than that of
czar. Still, there are intimations that
the man in Russia, who has the full
monopoly of the business does not
find it quite all hilarity and ease.
Whether there are inherent difficult
ties in the system. or he has been inju-
dicious or unfortunate, is not material.
He is fretted and worried, and never
quite sure that he may not in moment
be fitted for stiff. or become diffuSed
fragments of one. His guards may be
nihiliStS with little chunks of dynamite
kept ready for him, or his cook may
slip something into his food to end his
troubles. If he wants to go outside for
a little fresh air and a whirl about
town, it is much safer to stay at home
and send out some fellow that looks
like him and doesn't mind being killed.
A railway train that he is supposed to
be on can hardly have protection
enough to keep from being wrecked.
When he wants to solace the inward
spirit with choice wine, it may nave
deadly infusions. What if he has all the
nihilists and suspected people quietly
put out of dangerous vitality OF
sends them to Siberia, has delicate
women scourged OF strangled, the col
leges all closed, and young men and
women prohibited to think or talk, still
the hideous apparation will hover
about him and rise in horrid vision in
his restless slumbers. On the whole,
there are more cheerful and enjoyable
jobs to be had than that the autocrat of
all the RussiaS has on his hands. The
American citizen who gets 50 day for
his eight hours, and has good stomach
and sound sleep, gets more comfort out
of life. Then there is no chance for
the car to make things pleasant for
himself. 1t doesn't help any to kill nj
hilists. They multiply by timing out.
The car is doing their cause service by
attempts to crush out all free thought
and popular expression by tyranny and
cruelty. Their dynamite will do big
work in time, and there will be no
room for other czars. 1t is hard role
to be czar now.

HOW TO VOTE.

1t is queer that there should be so
much misunderstanding with reference
to the manner of procedure in voting
under the Australian election law, and
yet in all the confusion of interpreta-
ton given to certain sections of the law
there are liable to be good many spoiit
ballots on election day. Even some of
the newspapers, who are supposed to
know everything and to know it cor
rectly, have become muddled. There
fore few words OF explanation may be
in order.
Remember that it is the X mark on
the ballots witch cuts the important
figure in the count, therefore the voter
should be very careful where he places
the mark
The X mark placed opposite the name
OF the candidate for mayor and ap-
pearing nowhere else OH the ballot
counts for vote for the entire party
ticket which the mayoralty candidate
leads.
fla single cross mark should appear
opposite the name of any other candi-
date than the candidate for mayor, it
will only be counted for the candidate
opposite whose name it appears.
Where voter intends to vote mixed
ticket he should be careful to place the
X mark opposite the name of each can
didatc for whom he intends to vote.
For where there is more than one X
mark Oh ballot, the vote will only be
counted for those whose names are
properly checked. 1t is Oh this point
some misunderstanding has arisen:
therefore we deem it duty to the pub
lie to go into a more detailed
explanation. 1t has been asserted
that voter who wishes to cast a
mixed ballot can place his cross-mark
opposite the first name On the ticket,
and that it Will be counted straight on
the list Of succeeding names until the
name of the scratched candidate is reach
ed, and that then the judges will count
the vote for that particular Office for the
candidate marked Oh the opposition
ticket. This is an error. For instance.
II voter wishes to vote the straight
Democratic ticket, with the exception
OF a candidate for municipal Judge, and
should mark Mayor SMITHS name and
then put his X mark opposite Judge
BURE's name, indicating his wish to-
vote for the latter. then the votes for
SMITH and BURR would be the only
ones counted.
Where there is change from the reg
uAr party ticket. if only in the case of
one candidate, every name intended to
be voted for must be distinctly marked.
1t is good thing to bear in mind that
where the straight party ticket is to be
voted single X mark opposite the name
OF the candidate for mayor will suffice.
Otherwise, only such names AS have
the X mark opposite them Will be
counted.

COUNCIL ROUTINE.
Seven Committees Meet and
Transact Important Blu siness.


Transact Important Blu siness.
Seven of the standing committees of
the council met yesterday to transact
business preparatory to the council
meeting Friday next. The committee
on public grounds and buildings agreed
to recommend that the rooms now oc-
cupied by the Western Union Tele
graph company be released to them at
$4,000 per annum. not including electric
light. The company now pays rental
of 81 1920 year. The fire committee re-
ceived the following bids for supplying
the fire department with 500 feet of 81
inch hose: Hercules, sl.35 per foot;
W.. S. Mott company, $50; An
Choir, $1.54; Gutta Percha, 95 cents.
The committee took the bids under con-
sideratiOn, and will confer with Chief
Stetson before making any recommend
alton. New gas mains were recon-
nended by the committee on gas to be
laid on Chicago avenue, from Twenty
second to Lake street, and the electric
lights now used will be moved to streets
on the outskirts of the Twelfth ward.
The following bids for raising the roof
on the laundry at the wOrkhouSe and
building an additional story, to be used
exclusively for women, were opened:
S. G. Cutter, sl,075; Libbey q Lib
hey, $1,255; E. Siskron, SITS.
The committee awarded the con-
tract to E. Siskron. The communl-
cation from the different associations
of the Women's Christian Temperance
union, which had been referred
to the committee. was read and re-
port recommending the establishment
of woman's prison. upon the plan
suggested in the petition, will be made
to the council. The committee on paw
ing agreed to recommend the paving of
Park avenue with asphalt at cost not
to exceed s2.75 per square yard, pro-
vided the property owners would adj
vance the money necessary to construct
a sewer from Twenty-fifth to Twenty
eighth street. The committee on print
ing approved the regular budget of bills
for the month. A new dumping ground
at the foot of Second street was located
by the committee on health and hos
pltals to take the place of the one on
Hennepin island which has been
closed.

THE TARIFF BILL.

1t is the worst bill reported OH the
floor of congress.-BOston Globe.
Mr.. Mckinley and his committee, in
trying to please everybody, have changed
their tariff from day to day to meet the
demands of the latest interest that in

in making everybody diStruStful and
themselves and their work ridiculous

The changes which were made in the
tariff bill just before it was reported to
the house, rendered tia more popular
measure, and a measure more closely in
accord with the true principles of pro-
lection. 1t was splendid stroke of
courageous craftsmanship, by which the

Those who remember how powerfully
Mr.. Mckinley assailed the free trade

be surprised that his argument in behalf
of the Republican bill now pending is
remarkable for manliness, mastery of
facts and soundnesS of reasoning. After
reading it one rejoices that the day of

that Republicans are no longer itching
