MINNEAPOLIS,
NOTE AND COMMENT.

If all reports be true, Mayor Winston
has some excellent material from which
to choose members of the board of cor
rections and charities. For instance,
there are b. Cloutier and Capt. Terence
Connolly, among the Democrats. Where
can better men be found? Mr.. Cloutier
is careful, conservative man, well
acquainted with the city's business.
And as for Capt. Connolly. he knows
something about these matters that
would come under the direction of the
board. When Capt. Connolly was SUI
perintendent of the poor farm, that IN
stitution was as we'll managed as any
similar Institution ever was. With SUCH
men as these on the board of corrections
and charities, wholesale escaping from
the workhouse and receiptlng for pris-
oners never delivered would at least be
made the subject of an inquiry.

litical grave, because he will he working
against the Central market enterprise
and in the interest OF the north ana
south markets. Leaving the intrinsic
merit of the question out OF conSldera-
ton, why will they be excavating their
own Sepulchre? If the North MInneap-
oils aldermen work for what their con-
stituents want and If the South side
aldermen work for what their conStltu-
entS, where will that yawnlng tomb
be? Timber up your spyglasS, Gray,
and set the search light.
erich and Griffin were dropped from
the police force because the mayor
thought, presumably, that they were
not the right sort of men, after their
showing in the Tribune libel case.
What becomes of the superior officers
who stood behind these men and per
sistently showed them to the front as
models of what policemen should be?
Are not those superior officers suSceptl-
bic to little discipining?
In its striking expose of official rude
ness, the Evening Tribune apparently
assumes that 1t is the public, or, al least
public mouthpiece. This recalls the
fable of the fly on the wheel
1t is too bad that Manager Hach can
not transmit some of his winning abii-
ties to the ball team. Since his return
from Chicago, Hach classes as four
