A CORRECT DECISION.

Judge CoRY'S decision in the ADDI-
SON case is uDquestionably correct. 1t
has so often been laid down by the
courts of st. Paul that an officer,
whether sheriff, constable or policeman.
is without authority to arrest one
charged with a misdemeanor unless he
saw him IN the act or has a warrant,
that it is strange any policeman should
make the blunder Officer LINDGREN
did. A saloonkeeper en- Payne avenue
complained to LINDGREN that some
men had thrown stone through win
dow Of his saloon, and gave the officer
description of them. Afterward LIND
GREN found GEORGE ADDISON, thought
he answered the description, and at
tempted to arrest him. ADDISON de-
manded to see warrant, and, as the
officer was without one, he told him he
would show warrant at the station.
ADDISON resisted. as he had legal
right to do, and in the scuffie which fol-
lowed some of his friends kicked the
officer, injuring him so that he was laid
up some weeks.
What ADDISON'S character is cuts no
figure in the case. He may be tough
for all that is known, and he may have
thrown the stone; but for all the officer
was in position to know to certainty
or legally about the matter, he was not
the guilty party.
The law is framed for the protection
OF Innocent people. If policemen were
clothed with the power to arrest for
mlsdemeanOrs upon mere suspicion and
descriptions, it is easy to see that many
innocent people would be dragged to
police stations, good many of whom
would be compelled to spend long hours
in cells. Notwithstanding the law, it
has always been more or less the prac-
tice OF st. Paul policemen to arrest peo-
pie in the manner attempted by LIND
GREN, and very many innocent people
have suffered from the outrageous dis
regard of their rights. While we have
always had some officers who were very
sure to be right when they made arrests
without warrants, great many of the
force were TOO stupid to assume such a

DARE BE DEMOCRATIC.

The incident of the New Orleans
1ImeS-DemOcrat urging the sugar plant
ers of the South to organize for resist
ance to the repeal of the sugar bounty
illustrates but one phase of the difficult
ties which lie in the immediate path
way Of the Democratic party. The
GLOBE some time since said what any
one may see who has eyes, that the party
has just begun its conflict. and that it's
severest struggles Will be with elements
in our own party. No one who followed
the debates in the last session of con-
gress, especially those in the senate
over the navy and anti-option bills, but
felt oppressed and discouraged by the
prevalence of paternalistic opinions
among leading Democrats. The senate
is especially infected with undemocratic
Democrats; men who, by long associa-
ton with protectlonists in social and
business matters, proprietors in pro-
tected industries, have either lost their
clear sense of Democracy or Willingly
subvert 1t to personal interests.
So. too, we see editors of Democratic
papers casting about for some undemo-
cratic methods by which deficits in the
revenues may be made good. We see
them paltering with the proposition to
renew the tax on tea and on sugar and
on coffee, as if the party could afford to
turn its back on freedom won and go
back single step in its march toward
free trade, it's ultimate and unavoidable
destination. Its mission is to strip
power from the governments, state and
national, and translate it into liberty
for the citizen, from whom it had been
wrested.
There is no need of Encouragement,
Pigmy men might as well take brooms
in their puny hands and try to sweep
back the majestic movement of the wa
ters OF the Mississippi, on its way to
freedom in the oceans broad expanse,

Monterey All Right.
VALLEJO, Cal, June 1.-The Mon
terey is still awaiting the verdict of
judges. This morning Capt. Howizen
convened the board of naval inspectors
for the purpose of making a final
inspection of her machinery, turrets.
and boilers. The inspection lasted the
greater portion of the day, much of the
time being devoted to the boilers. A
thorough inspection and tests of both
the Scotch and Ward boilers resulted in
finding neither leak nor bulge nor
strain, though the steam pressure dur
ing the trial registered over 100 pounds
to the inch. The same inspection was
made of the auxiliary machinery, every
part of which WAS found in excellent
condition. Considerable time was spent
in making an examination of the turrets,
but here. like the other parts inspected,
all was found satisfactory. Tie board.
i'll making the report, has pronounced
the Monterey to be all that the contract
required. In It's report, however,
it has made some minor sugges-
tionS, which, if approved and exc
cuted, they believe Will result advan-
tageously. These suggested alterations
apply only to the mechanism of the tur-
retS and ammunition hOiStS. The board
concluded its labors late this afternoon
and signed the report, which is now en-

AIMED AT RED TAPE.
Experts Selected to Investigate
Business Methods in the Ex-
ecutive Departments.
The Object Is TO Eliminate as
Much as Possible of Red
Tape Methods.

WASHINGTON, June 1. = The joint
commission. authorized by the Fifty
second congress TO investigate the
methods of the business in the executive
departments. held meeting today, and
selected the experts, who will go over
the books. Previous to entering upon
this work the commission, consisting of
three representatives and three sena-
tors, conferred with the preSi-
dent and members of the cabi-
net, and received assurances of
the hearty cooperation of the
executive departments. The work to
be conducted by these experts will be
directed to business matters strictly
with a view TO inaugurating such re-
forms as may be necessary to simplify
matters and substitute for present
methods those that obtain in the con-
duct of the business as managed by pri-
vate individuals or corporations, the
object being to eliminate as much as
possible of the so called "red tape"
which the commission believes exists in
ali the departments.
The commission, after carefully look
ing over the field, came to the conclu-
sion that railroad men would be best
able 10 do the work. and selected as its
experts men skilled in railroad ac-
countings. The chief expert in charge
is j. V. Reinhart, president of the
Atehson, Topeka Gc Santa Fe railroad,
man who has a wide reputation
for abilities which particularly
adapt him for this work. He
will not engage i'll it actively.
but will control and dhest it,
making periodical visits to Washington.
The two men who will do the active
work are Messrs. HaSkiss, of New York
city. and f. w. Sells, of Chicago. Mr..
Sells has been i'll the accounting diviS-
ion of the Kansas City, Fort Scott IL
Memphis railroad and the Colorado
Midland Railroad company, but is now
the chief accountant at Chicago of the
Atchison, Topeka IL Santa Fe road.
Rooms have been assigned thsse
experts in the treasury depart
ment, and they will begin their work
Monday. After going through the
treasury, the largest of the departments,
the other executive branches will be
taken up. The commission is COM
posed of Representatives Dockery,
Richardson and Dingley and Senators
Ccckrell, Jones, of Arkansas, and Cul-
lom, and. although the task is one of
great dimensions, the members today
expressed the hope of seeing it far
enough advanced to make a good report
before the close of the FIfty-third con-
greSS.

One of Nip's followers poor little cur
with stump for tail, lives just across

panion of the great st. Bernard came by
windfall in the shape of a succulent

ficulty at Fort Wayne.
FORT WAYNE, June 1.-The street
car strike is still on. though today was
not as exciting as Wednesday. Twenty
police patrolled one line of track all day,
assisted by the sheriff and fifty deDu-
ties. The company only attempted to
operate three cars, and they were run
between 1C a. IN. and p. m. These
cars were manned by barn bosses
and other company employees. Each
car carried a complement of
five policemen. At one end of the line
on grade the tracks were soaped, and
at another place plank was spiked on
the rails. No cars were wrecked, al
though three arrests were made by the
officers. At mass meeting held to-
night 5000 citizens were present, and
the remarks favoring the strikers were
cheered. In the morning the company
will again attempt to move cars, and
an additional force of fifty sheriffs were
sworn in tonight. The company is de-
termined and the strikers are receiving
encouragement in holding out.

THE INCOME TAX.

No stronger Or more conclusive argu-
ment against an income tax could be
stated than is that made for one by the
st. Louis Republic, an earnest advocate
of this tax. If. says that paper. the tax
should be laid on incomes of $4,000, it
would wipe out of existence the party
enacting it, 1t laid Oh incomes of $4,000,
it would defeat the party levying it..
But if laid Oh incomes Of $4,000 and
upward, it would be popular tax.
The accuracy Of the statement is the
refutation of the proposal. No tax is
justitiable that is based for its general
support on the envy of men; no tax
should be thought of that can only be
sustained by such glaring Inequality.
The foundation thought Of the Repub-
lies plan is that the men with the in
comes Of ten thousand and upward
are tax shirks, and that such a tax
would be in the nature of reprisa / :;
but there are other and simpler ways of
making these men contribute, and ways
that will not strike at the foundations
of a democratic government as does
this 1t violates the first principle of
taxation, that the subjects of every
state ought to contribute to the support
fthe government, as nearly as posi-
BILE, in proportion to the revenue which
they respectively enjoy under the pro-
lection of the state. Ii all incomes are
not taxed, none should be.
