DOTS AND DASHES.

editorial association and their ladies.
The arrangements are in the hands of
President PeaSe and Chairman Stine,of
the executive committee, which is a
guarantee that everything will be done
that foresight can suggest for the en-
Joyment and comfort of those who par
ticipate in the trip. The intention is TO
first make a run to Denver. Col, over
the Omaha road and connections. Gen.
eral Passenger Agent Teasdale, with the
usual courtesy which so eminently
chafac!eriZeS this popular railroad man,
having rendered the officials of the asso-
citation every assistance i'll mapping out
a very entertaining route. The inten-
tion now is TO return by way Of Salt
Lake City. Helena and Butte. Twelve
days Will be occupied in the trip. and
one OF the most enjoyable events III the
annals of the association is not only an
ticipated by the members, but guaran-
teed' by the interchangeable Pease and
Slime. The excursion will take place
the end of next month, in the interreg
mum between the conventions and the
clash of the political warfares for power
and Office.
The citizens of Dayton'S bluff are at a
loss to account for the action of their
alderman in regard to the city railway
controversy. Aid. Zimmerman is work
ing hard to secure the immediate eX-
tension Of the Maria avenue line-a
matter which merely interests, just now
at least, a score or so of property own
erS. The alderman, however, appears
to nave forgot entirely the one and only
grievance OF the Dayton bluffiteS, and
that is the service of trains on the East
Seventh street cable. Trains are Iun
every seven mNuteS. and the delays,
crowded condition of the cars, are very
Irritating TO the people. When MIR:
Lowry appeared befor, the council
committee, and the reforms required
We're presented for his consideration,
not one word was said about the East
Seventh street service. This cable line
Is the only one catering to the needs of
one of the most populous districts in the
clty-there are certainly between 10000
and 10000 people Oh the bluff and inn
mediate territory. The traffic Oh the
line has been augmented by the OPEN
ing of the White Bear electric road, and
it is now rare thing to get seat on
car, unless you get OH at either end OF
cable. Aid. Zimmerman is like the fly
on the chariot wheel. He imagines he
is doing q great work and creating
terrible dust over such small matter
as the Maria avenue extension; while
in matter of vital Importance to the
whole of his constituents he has thus
far been unheard of. The alderman
must ride to town, or he would have
had something to say before now.
An evening paper quotes Dr.. Ancker
as saying he would give 5000 if nine
teen other citizens would do the same
towards the erection of public library.
Two years ago j. }. Hill made an offer
of $4,000, or Whereabouts, if similar
amount was raised within certain time
for a public library and art gallery.
But it never was. Citizens talked about
the magnificent offer, and there the
matter ended. The great drawback to
a public library and art gallery, or
things of that kind. is that they do not
pay one-half yearly dividends. There
would be no lack of money if they did
to Wit, the harvester works.
The Schwartz child has never been
located. Is it not a serious commentary
on the detective and police force of the
city when child can be stolen and no
trace whatever obtained OF it? The
difficulty is said to lay not so much in
the efficiency Of the force as in the lack
of concerted effort to unrayel the where
abouts of the child.
A great deal has been said and
written about the hard lot of a dis
charged crimina!-tbe difficulty to OBJ
tain work; to make an honest living.
The st. Paul police and detectives do
not seem to aid these discharged con-
victS. Last week, for instance, man.
who recently finished term in Still
fn NJ tnA far
what? ITO prevent him from doing
any mischief" said the detective who
made the arrest. 1t would be interest
ing to know, by what authority, detec-
tive, or any police officer, can make
such an arrest. This is supposed to he
free country, but if man is seen
walking along the street, and is a
suspicious character in the opinion of
some lily cop" he is Immediately run
in" 1t is time the members of the
police and detective forces were taught
sa!utary lesson i'll this respect.
The st. Paul Press club is negotiating
with Hon. Bourke Cochran, of New
York, to deliver an address at point
midway between the two cities in Au-
knoWledged to be the foremost orator
in this country today. His speech NOM
Hill in the Chicago convention
established his reputation as an orator
OF the front rank. Ii he comes to Min
neSota he will certainly have the great
est audience gathered together i'll the
state. 1t is the intention of the club to
make the gathering free one.
Not quite month ago everybody was
growing at the rain. but there was lit
lie complaining yesterday. The hot
spell of last week reconciled the people
to anything, so long as it was change.
The continued hot weather of the past
week was little unusual for Minnesota,
and accordingly gave rise to various
stories among the "old inhabitants"
One ancient Informed me the worst
hot wave experienced in this state was
ten years ago; another swore that it was
twenty years, and third averred that it
was thirty years. How these old citi-
ZenS do contradict one another!
The circumlocution of the present
city government under that monumental
bugbear, the Bell charter, is unique, to
say the least. A resolution authorizing
the purchase of some supplies in one of
the departments is introduced in the
assembly. and referred to committee.
The resolution is Endorsed by The COM
mittee. reported back to the assembly
and passed. 1t goes to the board of
aldermen, referred to committee, re-
ported back and adopted. The mayor
is then called upon TO sign it, copy is
published in the official paper, and then
all the requirements of the law are full
filled. This is municipal reform with a
vengeance.
A Bestial Performance.
Frequent complaints have been made
to the police at Rondo street station
about fellow who was making indecent
exposure of his person in the neighbor-
hood of Martin and st. Adams streets.
Capt. Lowell detailed an officer in that
locality, and yesterday morning John
Moliner was arrested by Officer Klinger-
smith as the guilty party. The evidence
