PASSED in REVIEW
/: The Hazelton Athletic club has recent
" offened purse Of $4,000 for finish
fight between Bosrowe and Drayton, the
star actors in the New York society scam
dial. The unsavory records Of these two
men precludee all hopes Of an acceptance
Of an offer Of this kind from either party.
Men sometimes fight to vindicate honor,
beasts don't.

The movement to put mono on guard
in the employment of the city-bu those
who have taken out their second papers,
is correct one. The full-fedged citi-
zen of the Republic ought to have the
call over all others, and it doesn't matter
much whether he is engaged as an en-
ploye of the city or with private indi-
vidual. He should have the preference.

At a meeting of the County Commits
sloners, called to appoint treasurer ad
interim, held on Tuesday last, T. J. Bux-
ton was chosen to the position by an unan-
imous vote. Mr.. Buxton has had large
experience in positions OF this nature,
and whether he is in it for a long or short
term, Hennepin county can rest assured
that the Office of treasurer is in most
competent hands.

Don M. Dickinson is reported to have
said in recent interview that Cleveland
would be nominated by the Democratic
convention before the state of New York
was called. Mr.. Dickinson is an ardent
Cleveland man and for that reason many
will charge him with stalking through
his hat" in this matter, but a careful
study of the situation up to the present
date strongly favors Mr.. Dickinson in his
assertion. Dollars to doughnuts that
Cleveland receives the necessary two
thirds vote before New York's vote shall
have been recorded.

Mayor D'Autremont's appointments of
subordinate officers in the police depart
ment of Duluth were made Monday
night. In them he follows out the policy
outlined in appointing Daniel Hogan
chief and elevates the line of old officers
notch higher. They are 8. J. Thomp-
son, captain; Ed Dwyer, lieutenant;
Daniel Donovan, first sergeant; Louis
Ratty, second sergeant. James Rooney
was appointed assistant clerk; Thomas
Hay den, detective; ALI Gillon and Frank
Horgan, court officers, e. B. Force, clerk;
VIM. McEwen and John brennan, jail
ers; Mrs. Van Sicklen, matron. The
new mayor is doing things in a way that
must WIN universal favor among the
citizens of Duluth.

There was large attendance at the
Union League club rooms, this city, on
Wednesday of members Of the executive
committee of the State League of Repub-
lican clubs. Seventy out of eighty coun-
ties in the state were represented, pretty
good proof that our Republican brethren
are not going to let the next contest go
by default if thorough organization can
prevent it. A pointer to the Democracy,
too, for perfect unity and earnest work.
President Goodnow's address was busi-
ness-like and full of excellent recommen-
dations to those who had gathered in the
interests of that party.

Charges have been made recently that
Messrs Clarke and O'Mulcahy, of the
State Auditors Office, st. Paul, have been
showing favoritism in issuing mineral
land leases. There may be no truth in
the matter, nevertheless the State Audi
tor owes it both to himself and the pub
lie to investigate these charges. If the
evidence proves conclusively the truth Of
the assertions, no particular harm will be
done in dropping the aforesaid clerks
from the states service. While such an
Investigation is in progress we may rest
assured that Republican state officials.
now resting easily and perhaps to blame
for stories concerning the state auditors
office, will be placed on the rack to their
surprise and discontinue.

Dr.. J. E. Bradley, for the past six years
superintendent of the city schools, was
retired from that position last Tuesday
by action Of the Board of Education,
Prof. Chas. M. Jordan having been
elected to succeed him by vote of six to
one, an indication that politics didn't
figure in bringing about the change,
Prof. Bradley has made q good euperin-

undoubtedly OF the opinion that there
