On the dock at Tripoli may be seen q

One Horsepower is equal to the strength

PASS AROUND THE HAT.
Subscription to Pay for the Men
age Expedition.

Subscription to Pay for the Men
age Expedition.
Since the GLOBE first agitated the
necessity of the capture and conviction
of Louis F. Menage dozen schemes
have been sprung looking towards this
end. In taking the advice of this paper
and Offering a reward of $1,000 for his
capture, the county board took COM
mendabie step, and in ali probability
the city will follow suit by Offering
an equal sum for his apprehen-
sion. But something else is re-
CURED besides the mere offering
of rewards and the issuing =
of empty proclamations. To undertake
the capture and return of as smooth a
swlndler as Menage requires ability and
staying powers of high order. 1t will,
moreover, in all Likelihood involve thou
sands of miles of weary travel and a
considerable outlay OF ready funds. 1t
is not to be presumed that the chasing
down of a criminal like Menage
would be undertaken in the
first place for the reward, as this
would be insignificant alongside of the
reputation that will acrue to the man
that has the nerve and ability to brIDg
him back. But detectives, as rule,
are not noted for their wealth, AMI, like
lawyers and doctors, they have to live
themselves, whether they win the
case or cure the patient or not.
The idea has been suggested that
private subscription be taken up for
this purpose among the prominent buSi-
ness men with whom the welfare of the
city is Identical with themselves, and il
is understood that the mayor is willing
to mead such a list. The scheme is a
good one, aud now let some one pass
around the hat.

THE BLUFF DOESN'T GO.
Democrats Of Minneapolis Never
More United.

Democrats OF Minneapolis Never
More United.
In order to better conceal the con-
sternation and decentralization in their
own ranks, the Republicans of Minue-
apolis, backed by their party organs,
have raised the old cry of dissensions
among the Democrats of Hennepin
county. AS matter of fact, nothing
could be further from the truth. as the
time never existed when such a spirit
OF harmony and unanimity prevailed as
at present. Ratified in their rage and
despair over past and forthcoming de-
feats, the bluff is made that the Demos-
racy OF Minneapolis is divided against
itself, and as an Illustration the contests
over the postmastership and judgeship
are cited. AS matter OF fact. all such
attempts to mislead the public are
without foundation and purely per-
nlcious, being used as blind to cover
the hopelesSly demoraliZed condition of
affairs in the Republican pa rty of this
city.
So far as the contest for postmaster is
concerned, the campaign has been
marked by an entire absence of bad
feeling, rancor or bitterness that should
commend itself to the strikers of the
opposite party. Only two candidates
have been named fer the position
Messrs. FoOte and HoIbrook. Both are
gentlemen of acknowledged standing in
their party and in the community, and
they and their adhereAts are personal
friends. 1t is fair contest, conducted
on its merits and open and above board.
Regarding the successor to Judge
CAVITY, it is safe to say no quarter will
be asked or granted in the matter, and
the appointee, if he Is Democrat. will
not enter upon the responsible duties
bound or hampered by odious pledges
that will handicap his party at the polls.
The Interests of the Democracy of Hen
nepin county, one too vital, and their
success is too we'll assured, to be tied up
by useless and utterly superfiuous
pledges. OF one thing tile Republicans
may be assured, that the Democracy of
this county is unit on all matters es-
Sential TO its well being, and the stories
circulated to the contrary are a mere
waste of mind
