MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

Mavor Eustis is making reputation
Ms the great modern anomaly. The
mayor is training for great record III
the cause of good government. his
ideas of the best municipal government
seem 10 be a trifle mixed, however. Inc
best government is generally taken 10
mean that which best advances ahd pro-
tectS the interests of society ana pre-
serves public morals. That Includes OF
course, protection of the private cltiLeh
from the laWleSS marauder. Ana inc
best government means also, that az
this shall be done at the minimum OF
expense to the public. The mayor seems
TO be all right so far as the question or
economy goes He is prone 10 lose
sight of other considerations, however
Not long ago the mayor boosted through
one of his late party's organs OF now
much money he was saving TO the eiiy
by allowing the vacancies on the police
force to remain vacancies. 1hey stu
remain vacancies. Meanwhile scarcely
a night passes that some one Is not as
saulted and robbed on tine streets, ana
on the DOWNTOWN, best-protectea
streets at that. The man who would
allow the goods in his store 10 be catrleu
away for lack of q lock OH his door
would. to put il mildly, be accounted a
false economist. While he is making
saving of a paItry few hundred doliarS'
to be SQuandered in other directions
Mayor EuStis is jeopardizing the lives
OF all persons compelled 10 traverse
side streets after dark Yet Mayor
Eustis boasts of his economy.
\ local beer-making concern has
picture of the new cruiser Minneapolis
steaming across the open sea, on Its adj
Vernsing matter. Is this a delicate hint
that all water is good for is TO float the
Minneapolis and her sisters, or is the
big cruiser intended TO typIty the great
draught of the beer?
Stiles P. Jones will make good rep
reSentative of the Carnival ASSOCIATION
if he does not let reform in Eighth
ward politics get tangled up with car
niYal affairs. Jones Is good ueaI Oh I'LL
enthusiast on both topics.
Gus Daniels. captain of the Lurline
Boat club. is figuring on Offering TO the

Team as soon as the ice is out OF the
lake. He will train down Walter Booth
and build up Jimmy Fraser to acquire
the desired result. He will take the
team on starring tour after the car
nIyal.
The private soldier who was stabbed
over the heart and on the arm during
scrap on q railroad train Is SAID to nave
given vent to the following sage re-
mark when he was lifted into the patrol
wagon:
"In times of peace we soldiers hight
among ourselves"
Minneapolis ought to feel very
friendly toward st. Louis Park and its
Inhabitants from the fact that great
deal Of trade comes from there. For
instance, last Sunday one OF the st.
ouis Park cars had eighty-twO people
on board, all of them going home. and
the conductor is authority for the state
ment that only four of them were sober.
Remember this was on the Lords day,
when the Flour City business houses are
supposed TO be closed.
A police officer brought little boy to
the police station last night for shelter.

depravity.

IF a man will beat his wife like that
after they are divorced, what on earth
will he do before?"
