BRAuKEIT's ANNUAL, REPORT.

The first annual report Of Supt. w.
M. Bracket OF the police department
was submitted to the police commission
at It's meeting last week. Never in the
history Of the city has the head of the
police force ever furnished a report so
well prepared and carefully compiled,
and touching so many points of interest
as that given to the public by Supt.
Bracket. 1t is al able document and
tells more than words can express here.
It speaks we'll for the city TO have 80
competent a man at the head Of the po-
lice department. and it is gratifying to
the taxpayers to know that the police
force is in such good hands. Mr..
Bracket asks for SO additional patrol
men and gives good reasons for his re-
quest. He says to give ADEQUATE pro
lection to all points in the city this
number of additional men IS required;
that the rule followed in all large cities
is that a police force should number one
man for every 700 OF the population, but
that in Minneapolis the ratio is one to
every 1900. There are still, he adds, a
few discordant elements due to lack Of
discipline in the past. which must be
eradicated before the best results can
be accomplished. In this he evidently
refers to the religious bigotry that ex-
Capt. Harvey championed and pushed
so vigorously, and (which was warmly
advocated by such men as the notorious
ex-Sergt. Krum weide. The chief recon
mends the establishing of relief asso-
citation for the benefit Of sick or de-
ceased officers families, which ought to
receive the CO operation of the commits
sion. The private detectives, whose
numbers are alarmingly on the increase,
he ''roasts to a turn" 'tIhese para
sites,' he says ''are both male and
female No life In the community is
50 pure and faultless as to be safe from
the Vaccinations of these human
ghouls; no act so innocent that it may
not be perverted to the vile uses of their
calling. They may be compared with
hungry wolves prowling around and
seeking whom they may devour." The
newsboys come in for place in the
superintendent report and when he
says that their calling is the preparatory
department. of the school of crime, he
SAYS what is the truth. The public
street IS no place for children such as
sell papers in our cities and this matter
ought to receive some attention. An.
nual reports like this are usually filed
never to be heard of again, but we be
lieve that this report Of Bracket will
receive more than passing notice. 1t
is the first complete and bv far the
ablest report that any Chief Of Police of
Minneapolis ever submitted to the pub
lie. Minneapolis has every reason to
feel proud Of the head of her police
force.

VICTORY IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

The Irish National League Of Amer
lea will not hold any convention this
year. This is in Difference to the eN-
pres wishes of Mr.. Parnell and the
members of the Irish parliamentary
party. This course ON the part of the
Irish members will no doubt be critl-
cised by some OF our people in this
country, but there is no reason why it
should. America is not the battle
ground and consequently we are not
capable of knowing what is for the best
interests of the Irish cause. 1t is
enough for us to know that Mr.. Par
neil does not want a convention held
az this time, and being satisfied that he
knows what is for best interests Of the
cause he so warmly advocates, we
should not dispute his judgment. The
promise Of the immediate overthrow of
the Tory government and a general
election following, are among the rea-
sons given tor not holding any conven-
ton. Should the government find it.

should during the coming session. the
result will be- dissolution OF parlia-
ment and general election. In this
event it is patent chat the Irish mem
bers would all be required to be on She
battlefield and could not give the con-
yention or its proceedings anv atten
ton. and it is bat reasonable IN view OF
the probable changes in the govern
ment that the holding of convention
be postponed. In connection with this
advice from Mr.. Parnell comes the re.
nuest that the friends Of the cause re-
double their effo1ts to place the Irish
nationalsts in position for the com
ing contest Let US all be ready to
hello the good cause. If the Tory
government should surrender. which
we think it must. then Gladstone will
come to the front with an olive branch
in one hand and a draft Of a billgiving
Home Rule to Ireland in the othe other.
That WILL be- . happy day for ENGLAND

pARNELL'S LATEST VICTORY.

The London Times has again been
forced to confess that all it's articles en-
titled ''Parnellism and Crime" were
forgeries. When the suit for libel
brought by Mr.. Parnell against the
Times was called in court Monday, the
latter's counsel announced that it had
been settled by the Times agreeing to
pay Mr.. Parnell $25,000 and all his ex-
penses in connection with the case.
The cable informs us that the announce.
ment created sensation in the court
room and throughout London where
the result was known. The Times con-
fessed that it was not able to prove Ehe
charges, and that the only course was
to settle before the case went to jury.
1t was a bitter pill for the Thunderer TO
swallow, but it had to do it. Ever
since Parnell entered public life. and
particularly since his elevation to the
leadership of the Irish parliamentary
party. the Times has emDtied it's mud
wagons on the Irish LEADERS, threshold.
Nothing was too wicked or corrupt to
accuse Mr.. Parnell of, and when Cav
endisn and Burke were murdered in
Phoenix Park the Times immediately
accused Parneli Of being a party to the
murder. Not content with covering
pages in it's daily issue with these in.
famous accusations, it continued to
publish special articles entitled 'tPar-
nellism and Crime" in which it ac-
cused Parnell Of being party to all
the agrarian outrages committed in
Ireland since the formation of the
Land League. Even this was not
enough. It caused pamphlets to be
printed and scattered broadcast over
England. in which Parnell was accused
of everything that was wicked and
abominable. All these charges it made
knowing they were false, but relying
on preiudices and English judges and
juries. the Times was confident that
though the case did come to trial, it
would succeed in winning it. Pre-
iudices and pack juries were what the
Times relied on. but even these it saw
would not await it ANYTHING in face of
such case as Parnell had made out.
1t was desperate attempt to ruin a
public man, based on malice and fend-
ish hatred. Modern times has known
Of no parallel, to wreck the character
and reputation Of another, as in this
case, and it only remains for his satanic
majesty to produce a more desperate
character than the editor of the London
Times Every means known to human
ingenuity to get witnesses to swear
away Parnell's life, we're adopted, but
without success. Monev was no OBJ

Minneapolis Times Charles Stewart
Parnell will go down in history as the
most remarkable fighter the world has
ever seen in time Ct peace. He has
faced the most overwhelming odds and
won every battle through the sheer
force of self-eommand. backed by a
clean record.
Minneapolis Journal: The London
Times has come humbly down with the
cash and pays Mr.. l'aruell $25.0OO dam
ages for attempted defamation of char
acter. This back down was inevitable
when Parne!l was given half chance
to show up the mendacity and infamous
character of the Times persecution No
newspaper in the world has ever been
engaged in such an indecent and mali
cious and lying assault on public man.
The amount of damages paid is COM
parativelv insignificant, but it is tri-
umph for Mr.. Parnell that the Times
has confessed its own infamy.
Pioneer Press: After the relentless
and malicious persecution with which
the London Times has pursued Mr., Par
nell it may seem singular to some Of his
ardent sYmpathiZers that he should have
consented to accept so moderate sum
as $225 900 as damages from his defeated
and Inundated adversary. But Mr.
ParneIl was not fighting for money.
The little that he gets by the compro-
mise will 20 but small way to COM
pensate him for the pecuniary loss he
has doubtless suffered from this long,
tedious and expensive trial. He was
fighting for his own vindication and
that Of the Irish cause, and the signal
triumph he has achieved is worth to
him and to the friends Of Ireland more
than all the revenues Of the London
Times for hundred years.
Minneapolis Tribune: The cable
brings US news that the libel suit Of
Charles Stewart Parnell against the
London Times has been compromised
by che payment to Mr.. Parnell of $25,-
100 Considering the wealth of the
Times, and the terrible wrong it has
done, this ia small amends. Itnot only
published the forged letters and the
series of articles known under the gen
eral title of ''Parnellism and Crime. y
but it issued numerous editions of re
prints Of the fac smile letters and the
articles and sold them in pamphlet form
all over the United Kingdom ata penny.
In malignity and fatuous persistence,
the Times assaults upon the character
of Mr.. Parnell, are probably without a
parallel in the entire history Of journal
ism. 1t there is any justice in English
courts for an Irishman against whom
the offender has. been the chief Tory
organ, backed by the Tory government,
Mr. Parnell ought to have recovered the
full sum for which suit was brought
ten times the amount actually paid. 1t
is hardly possible to believe that he
would not have recovered at least four
times the $50 600 if he had pushed the.
suit; it is therefore mark Of magnan-
unity that he allowed it to be compro-
missed. Els good name had already
been fully yindicated by the disclosures

CITY Comptroller Calderwood will
have done his duty we'll if he holds the
aldermen to the law governing the
overdrawlng of ward funds. The comp
troller-is right when he says that such
a system is perniclous and dangerous;
THAT the ward and other funds ought
not to be exceeded. The evils arising
from such practices are bad, as can be
seen in the case of the Eighth ward last
year when the aldermen left office to
make way for the neWlv-eIected ones.
The ward was some $26, 600 in debt, and
no improvements could be made during
the summer. This was an injustice to
some OF the taxpayers whose streets
ought to have been cared for and put in
proper shape. We are also glad to see
Mr.. Calderwood denounce the practice
Of property owners advancing money
for street improvements. This prac-
tice IS detrimental, and works to the
Injuries Of those who cannot advance
money for such purposes. The wealthy
taxpayer gets the benefits, aud the fol
lowing year be is repaid With money
that ought to have gone to the general
Improvement of the ward instead Of
into the pockets of interested property
owners. The aldermen will no doubt
try to persuade Mr.. Calderwood to
change his mind ON this matter, but we
thiak he has some stamina. and will
thus keep the plunderlng council in
their places.

ment which was behind the paperin It's

Tunisian news has been scarce of
late. Here is q scrap contributed by
the Rev. James G. McIlroy, mis-
sionary to Tunis, who stopped at the
Sherman House recently on the way to
his old home, Montpelier, VT, after an
absence of fifteen years. He made the
Journey via Suez Canal and San Fran
cisco.
"Two months ago a notable cele-
bration was held in Tunis. A Chris
tian Cathedral was dedicated upon the
spot where q Mshomedan mosque has
stood since the time of Louis x (St.
Louis.) of France. It is being built by
all the Christians of Tunisia as me-
mortal to the victory of st. Louis over
the Saracens in the year 1921.
The natives OF Tunisia are making
great progress in civilization and Chris
tianity. The Government was hostile to
Christianity until the little difficulty
with France and England few years
ago, since when q more liberal spirit
has come to prevail. Now the mission
aries are allowed to 60 into the interior
to spread the work Of evangelization,
and the natives are no longer as fanati-
cal as they WERE"
