F.F. Lyons. Local Forecast oaici
AT SYRACUSE.

The gathering OF Democrats at SYRIA
cu5e today will be large in numbers. and
the evidences of esteem for Mr. CLEvE-
LAND as citizen and statesman will be
valuable and sincere. Whether the ac-
ton of the enthusiastic aSSemblage will
promote the clniidacY Of Mr.. CIEvE
LAND at Chicago can be better deter
mined a day or two after. A strong
Endorsement OF the policies of his admin
IstratiOn and of his courageous uplift of
the tariff reform standard, with dig
nified protest against the untimelineSS
of the February convention, will not
be harmful. There can be no ex-
pectatiOn that any delegates named at
Syracuse will be given seats at
Chicago. They may be allowed a hear
ing, however. There is danger that this
outside movement may have the color of
mugwumpery - that is, only support
the Democratic ticket, provided the can
didaIe and platform are quite to their
taste. This will prejudice its action in
the party. 1t is improbable that this
demonstration will materially affect the
action sat Chicago, unless it should be
given such unwiSe direction as to widen
the breach in New York AMI convince
the convention that the nomination of
either of the prOminentnameS from that
state would render it hopeless in No

THE CHIEF OF PoLICE.


Let us consider quite fairly and
frankly the legal aspects of the pro-
posed appointment of Warden GARvIN
as head of our municipal police depart
ment. This is the only spirit in which
to approach legal problem, because in
this spirit it will be ultimately de-
cided.
Col. WRIGHT has determined to sup
plant Chief CLARK by man who is
admittedly of high character and good
ability, but who is not now and never
has been resident of the city of st.
Paul. He has absolutely no ia miliarity
with the habits of thought which pre-
vail IN this community, with its history,
its traditions, or the temper of its peo-
pie. As far as is disclosed, he has had
30 experience in the duties of any Office
similar to that in which it is planned to
install him. He has made an honorable
reputation as prison manager. 1t may
be granted that he is an expert in con-
trolling the criminal classes after the
law has placed them where they can no
longer disturb society. But that he has
the tact, the discretion. the Judgment,
the generalShip required of chief of
police of a great city does not appear.
His admirers think that he has. They
are so sure of it that to secure his sery-
ices they are reported TO have pledged
him gratuity of $500 a year out of
their personal funds, which he is to re-
ceiye in addition to his salary if he will
accept the position. This may be all
true. The GLOBE does not now take
any account of this aspect of the case.
What it seeks to inquire is this: Is it
possible that, under the charter of st.
Paul, a stranger without proved quail
fieationS for the work can be called in
from abroad, be made the emplOye of
swell cOterie of citizens who con-
tribute to pay the compensation he de-
mandS, and be put in charge of our local
police force? This arrangement may
turn out admirably in the present in
stance, but the dangers it involves in
general are SO obvious and so great that,
unless there is provision in Our laws
forbidding it.. our laws are singGlarly
deficient in thiS raGar

MEXICO. Mo-, May 3O.-A cyclone
devastated the northern portion of this
(Audrain) county last night. Barns and
houses were blown down, crops torn up,
orchards ruined and trees uprooted
from the ground. A cIoudburSt
followed the cyclone, flooding the devas-
tlted district. The house Of Henry
Berry was leyeled to the ground, but
none of the family were seriously
hurt. William BrentOn'S house
was demolished. Of the eleven

Mrs. w. &. BrPniOn were The only ones
badly hurt, and their injuries are not

WEBB CITY, Mo-, May 3O.-A verita-
BILE cloudburst occurred here last night,

CALDWELL. Kan. May 3O.-Two dis
tinct tornadoes passed from southwest
to northeast north Of Caldwell about

be killed and much damage was done to
farm property. The first storm is said
TO have seemed to carry everything be-
fore it. but the swath cut is narrower
than usual. -..---
WELLINGTON, Kan, May 30.-The
most terrific rainstorm that ever visited
this section fell between the hours of 2
and 4 O'Clock this morning. The water
came down in torrents. and the streets
were running rivers within ten minutes,
and unroofed stores and residences were
flooded, greatly adding to the misery
and distress caused by the tornado.
Those who are homeless and had gath
cred their scattered personal and house
hold effects find themselves today with
out any dry clothing. Merchandise
in the debris which could have
been saved with partial damage is
now ruined. The situation can be bet
ter appreciated when it is understood
that before the tornado there was not
an empty house in the city fit for haD-

THE COMMISSION.

The members of the interstate COM
merce commission have spent some time
recently in this vicinity, pleasantly to
them, no doubt, and acquiring mach in
formation, probably. as they are gentl e.
men of officially inquiSiIive minds.
They have cool salaries. too, that they
draw with unexceptionabIe punctuality
and faithfulness. 1t is a satisfaction to
see them in the community. As an adj
visory body, composed of intelligent
gentlemen. its opinions are heard with
much respect. 1t has often found incon
gruties between the acts of railroad
arrangements and the seeming exac-
tons of the congressional act. In
many of the states suits have
been instituted against these law
fractaring railroads. They have often
been pushed to all issue. Able argu-
ments have been followed by decisions
upon legal lines. but the offending roads
have continued to follow their own will
The law has lo5tabout all its force, If,
indeed, it ever really had any. 1t is dis
regarded as the antitrust law is. The
commission is unable to enforce it. 1t
is, however, useful to the r0a is at times
as reference and menace when some
Objectionable measure is to be adopted.
Still, it is not insisted that the commits
sion may not have some field for its act
ivitieS, and fills 1t with a show of in
dUStry.

THE CHARrER PRoYIsIoN.

Our police department is organized
according to chapter 2 of the Special
Laws of Minnesota for 1888. This act
has since been materially amplifed and
amended, but not so as to affect the
point here under consideration. 1t pro-
vides that the mayor shall appoint 1.-THE
chief of police, the captain and
all policemen and police officers at any
time appertaining to the police depart
ment, and by whatever name designated,
with the advice and consent of the CON-
mon council. and then adds the section
quoted in the GLOBE of Sunday to the
effect that
No person shall be eligible to an appoint
ment as captain. sergeant detective, patrol
has not been a resident of the city of ST. Paul
for at least two years preceding his appoint
ment.
Now the GIOBE was fully cogniZant
of the argument which has been ad-
Yaneed against its Interpretation of this
clause when it previously discussed this
question. 1t is true that the words
"chief of police are used in the emu
merated list of officers whom the mayor
is empowered to appoint, and that the
same words are omitted from the list of
officers who are required to be citizens
of the United States and residents of
st. Paul. 1t is also true that by the set
tied method of statute Interpretation
this change in phrasroIogy would or
dinarily except the chief from the pro-
visions of the section of law quoted
above.
But statute has to be interpreted as
a whole. and not from an examination
of an isolated paragraph or two. No
one questions that the mayor-elect will
have the right to remove Chief CLARK,
in case he does not resign, provided two
thirds of the common council concur in
his action. Where does he get this
power? From the same law which de-
fines the qualifications of the members
OF the force. And what is its language?
Here it is:
Any officer or member of the police de-
paltment who may be appointed by the
mayor may be by him removed from
Office whenever in his opinion the welfare of
the city demands such removal
Notice then the dilemma. The chief
of police is either police officer or he
is not police officer. If he is not po-
lice officer. it is not necessary for him to
be resident of the city at the time of
his appointment; but neither is it posi-
BILE to remove him from Off either for
cause or without cause. If the pro-
vision concerning removal applies to
him, he is police officer; and, If he is a
police officer, he is required to have
lived in St Paul for two years before
he can be eligible to the position
Either Chief CLARK has life term of
his Office and there will be no vacancy
unless he chooses to make one, or Mr..
GARvIN is not qualified to accept the
appointment which has been rendered
him. Either Interpretation leads to the
same result.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-05-31
A VIOLATION OF LAW.

But there is another point, very seri-
calls public attention. 1t is not right
that the chief of police of this city
should receive his salary in whole or in
part from any other source than the
public treasury. If he does, it makes
him the servant of the men who pay
him instead of the servant of the COM
munity. Such progra nme would be
as reDrehensiDle and Intolerable in his
case as it would be for judge of one
of our courts to rely on contributions
from private purses for his stipend.
A public officer must not only be iucor-
ruptible, but ne must be above the
temptation and suspicion of corruption.
If Mr.. GARvIN is TO have his income
supplemented in this way because
he is an exceptionally efficient man,
with what face could he or any,
body else object if a faithful patroIman
should demand tips from the business
houses whose establishments he watches
at night? The utmost decentralization
would follow the introduction of so per-
nici0us a system. 1t would transform a
public institution to a private concern,
pieclng out its favOrS in proportion to
the size of the gifts It's members re-
ceiyed from their various patrons. Even
if there were no law against it, the idea
should not be entertained for an instant
But there is law against it. Section

FOR COL LOWRY'S EYE.

With commendable public spirit Col.
THOMAS LOWRY has asserted that all
the visitors to the Twin Cities during
convention time shall be sheltered if he
has to turn his street cars into dormi-
tories" The exigencies of the occasion
will not exact that much of the colonel,
but there is one respect in which he can
materially contribute to the comfort and
convenience of visitors; and that, too,
through the medium of those same street
cars wherewith he threatens to out
Pullman PULLMAN. Let the colonel
fOrego the dormitory idea, and instead
keep at least proportion of his ears in
active service as transports during the
entire twenty-four hours of the day.
Up and down town in Minneapolis the
cars should certainly run at not
infrequent intervals all night long,
and on the interurban line an
all-nieht service should also be
temporarily instituted. Politicians are
proyerbial night owls, and especially is
this the case in convention time, when
the nights brist!e with caucus and c0nn-
ter-caucus and conference and counter
conference. Consequently. cheap and
ready transportation facilities should be
provided at Minneapolis during every
hour of the twenty-four; and conse-
QuentIy, also, such of the visitors as
desire to return to st. Paul during the
small hours of the morning should be
afforded prompt means for so doing. 1t
will not be necessary for the St. Paul
city cars to run all night-if the inter-
urban will bring the visitors over they
will be easily able to find all the town
they want without hunting for it in
cars. The GLOBE makes the sugges-
ton, and trusts that Col. LOWRY will
do the rest. 1t will be enterprise, as
well as hospitality.

seven of the statute already mentioned

say that
Any member of the police department who

ANY OTHER PERSON. any gratuily or reward
shall be deemed guilty of a INSIDE
meanor.
The punishment provided is slight
only fine of 800. But chief of police
convicted of misdemeanor could not
continue to hold his Office. Public senti-
ment would not submit to be thus out
ragged. If the mayor did not remove
him, the courts would not be deaf to the
demands of law and decency. Col.
WRIGHT can give Mr.. GARvIN this ap-
pOintment if he chooses to, and his
friends can promise him a bonus of
$500 year. but he shall get neither
the position nor the gratuty till the
regularly constituted authorities have
passed on his qualifications and on the

1t has been already urged, but it cannot
be urged too strongly Or too often, that
the honor of the dual metropolis of the
Northwest must be punctiliously pre-
served by the exercise OF a spirit of GEN

not be permitted to diSfgure this hos
pitality. For what they receive in the
way of food and lodging the visitors

out good coin of the realm, but there
must be no gOaging-no miser-
able attempts to make them paw
more than value received. Over
charging at such a time and On
such an occasion would be the
lowest order of thieving, and would
bring everlasting discredit on the Twin
Cities. These people are coming as our

PORTLAND, Or. May 30.-The mayor
of Portland addressed the Presbyterian
assembly this morning. After unim-
portant business, Judge Ewing intro
duced the following resolution in the
Briggs case. 1t is mainly formal, and
IS only important in its wording:

the case is remanded to the presbyIery of New
York for a new trial. with directions
to the said presbytery to proceed and pas
upon and determine the sufficiency of tbs
charges and specifications in the form and
legal effect and to permit the prosecuting
committee TO amend the specifications on
charges. not changing the general nature Of
the same, if, in fur;heranee of justice it be
necessary to amend SO that it may be brough,

speedily as may be practicable.
In the supplementary majority report
several changes we're made from the
