A CONTEMPTIBLE OFFICIAL.
Supt. POrter's Policy in Regard to
ST. Paul.


ST. Paul.
H., prominent attorney and citizen,
writes: An omcer of the government
in the discharge of his duties has usu-
ally wide range of discretion. When
acting honestly, though he may do much
injustice, the injured party has ordina-
rily no redress. But when malice, spite
and personal vindictiveness are appar-
ent, he is as amenable to law for his acts
as an ordinary individual.
The course of Supt. Porter in refer
ence to st. Paul is SO plainly melted by
malice and a personal desire to inJure
this city, and his statistics are so ma
liciOusly false and designedly made
false by him to injure this city, that we
should rise up in our might ALL by law
force HIM to prove his figures or stand
forever condemned and punished.
l find no'caseS cited where a munich
pal corporation has ever sued an lndl-
vidual for libel. The law states that
corporation may bring an action for IL
bel, and thata corporation can be in
! jured as well as an individual. The
cases cited refer, though, mainly to
private corporations. l can, however,
not see why municipality may not be
injured as we'll as private cOTpOIdtlOu.
and likewise have its redress against
the defamer. That the contempt
| bic. narrow-minded ana personal
policy of Porter has very much injured
st. Paul and will likely do further
injury if he is not brought to answer
for his statements is evident. Common
sense and law will tell US that for every
Wong there should be a redress.
Whether this matter can be reached in
the ordinary way, am at this moment
unprepared to say. By the injury to our
city every citizen living here is directly
and indirectly the sufferer. If the
municipality, as such, cannot bring an
action against Porter. it may be that a
number Of large realty owners and bust
ness men may be able to prove actual
damage on account of the malicious
statements.
At all events it is we'll worth our while
to look into this matter and try to see
whether we have not some redress
against this man who is making such an
effort to falsfy facts against US.

DID HIM INJUSTICE.
A Case in Which an Error Wa
HOnorably Retrieved.

A Case in Which an Error Was
Honorably Retrieved.
An article appeared in Tuesdays
GLOBE which, while it recited several
facts, contained enough inaccuracies to
do great injustice to the subject, Will
lam w. Keene. 1t rehearsed the old
story of Mr.. Keene while cashier Of the
Northwestern National bank of Mime
apolis, and stated that he had kept away
from Minneapolis and was snugly en-
sconced in Pennsylvania home living
on the spoils. The facts are that he
never left this community and was, there
fore, never captured. Joseph Jockey,
now president of the National German
American bank of this city, was
then bank examiner, and went over
the books. Mr.. Keene made clean
breast of the affair and pleaded guilty
in court. He was pardoned after three
years incarceration, and instead OF hy-
ing the country. stayed right at nome.
to rebuilt his character and reputation
on the spot where he had lost it. This
he has cre1itably been able to do. He
has been in the employ of Senator Sabin
ever since, and, though living in Still
water, has been in Minneapolis every
few days since. Mr.. Jockey is the
very man now to assert that Mr.. Keene
has entirely retrieved himself. and that
the honor and respect in which he is
now held by the community are in
every sense thoroughly merited.

LATHROP CLEARED.
Nothing Wrong in Alliance Ex-
Secretary's Accounts.

Nothing Wrong in Alliance Ex-
Secretary's Accounts.
The financial committee of the State
Farmers Alliance, after a two days
session at the Clarendon, completed the
semi-annual examination of the books
and accounts OF the secretary and other
officers. 1t was found that from Sept.
% to Dec. %. 1890. Secretary Strom-
berg received S754, of which about
$500 yet remains in the treasury.
Pursuant to resolution adopt
ed at the annual meeting in
December the books Of eX-Secretary
John Lathrop were taken up, the COM
mittee finding that about 90 per cent of
the reports from Alliances agreed with
his books. No evidences of dishonesty
were found, and the report says that
the only thing wrong about Lathrop
was his carelessness and too great con-
fidence in others. This report was not
completed untilafter the adjournmentof
the executive committee and cannot now
be made until that committee meets
again. The only exciting incident was
the resignation of doc" Fisk, who,
during the day, made up his mind he
could not work in the same room with

Dnmont was Determined.

The basis of the $1,000 false imprison-
ment action brought by CIV. Dumont,
a book agent, against j. nj. Hawthorne,
an attorney, is an alleged Imprisonment
in the Office of the defendant. 1t is al
legged that Dumont went into the Office
of Hawthorne to carry away some books
belonging to young man named Krue-
ger. who has desk room there and vino
Dumont asserted owed him for
an encyclopedia. Mr.. Hawthorne
objected to the form of the levy, claim
ing it was without authority of law,
and also asserted that Kruger was IN
debted to HIM, and consequently he
would not permit the books to be car
ried off in the absence of the owner
without authority of law. Dumont
loaded the books on one arm and started
out. when Hawthorne shut and held TO
the door. Dumont fired the books
through the transom. and. after getting
out of the office, carried them away.
The involuntary imprisonment for the
few minutes-Mr. Dumont claims it
was three ahours-is DumoEt's ground
for damages.

Lighting London Streets.

Lighting the streets Of large city in
olden times was far different thing from
lighting the streets at the present time.
In 1861 the streets OF London were directed
to be lighted with candles or lanterns by
every householder fronting the main road.

firing 10 bed.
In tho last year Of King Charles IFS
reign one Edward Hening obtained the
right TO light the streets with lanterns
placed over every tenth door. from o'clock
on moonless evenings until midnight, be-
tween October and April
Daring the reign Of Queen Anne, in July,
1s0s, Mr. Michael Coke introduced globuiar
glass lamps with oil burners, instead Of the
former Glimmering lanterns In l7l6 an
act was passed which enloined every house
holder TO furnish light before his door
from 6 to IL o'clock at night, cxcep; On
evenings between the seventh night OF each
moon and the third after IL reached the
full.
In n few years 4 company was formed to
light tAe streets from 6 O'Clock until mid
night, each householder who paid poor
rates being required TO contribute for this
purpose six shillings year.
