JURORS NEED REFORMING.

Now, since the disagreement of the
jury in Alderman Dickson's Doodle
case the second time. it is an accom-
plished fact, Notwithstanding the posi-
tive proof that the defendant received
$3.50 cash with an agreement to get
that much more for his influence as
alderman to secure contract, is evil
dence that there is corruption among
the people as we'll as among officials
and that it will be a very difficult task
to get jury honest enough to convict
any of the Doodle gang no matter
what the evidence is. Therefore we
suggest that the state enter noll pros
in all the criminal bank and Doodle
cases and spend the money that would
of necessity be used in the persecution
in sending out missionaries among
the people in Hennepin county to con-
vertthemtto acertain degree of honesty
before any further attempt is made to
prosecute any more of the gang. If a
jury, after trying twice, in case as
plain as the evidence in Dickson's was,
will make as miserable a failure as
they did, it ought to convince any
reasonable man that it is useless to
make any further effort. It is only a
reckless, useless waste of money and
encourages others to go in and do
likewise. It is a shame and disgrace
and no further effort ought to be made
in that direction until there has been
a reform all along the line.-The

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

1t shocks us inexpressib]y to learn
that the supreme court has had the
audacity to declare Unconstitutional
the law passed through the untiring
efforts of our illustrious citizen, Nv
Feig, to license peddlers. The deci-
sion was rendered was rendered last
week Thursday, and the reasons given
are as follows:
Chapter 107, Laws of 1897, purport-
ing to regulate hawkers and peddlers
throughout the state, provides that
the act shall not "be construed to
prevent any manufacturer, mechanic,
nurseryman, farmer, butcher
selling, as the case may be, his manu-
tactured articles Or products of his
nursery or farm of his wares X
as butcher, either by himself or en-
ploye."
Held the business of hawker or ped
dler is, so far, legitimate and moral
business; that the legislature can reg
ulate it only for the purpose of pre-
venting it from becoming a nuisance,
and for that purpose the distinctions
attempted to be made between peddling
by the manufacturer, mechanic, .nur-
seryman, farmer and butcher, as afore-
said, and the peddling of the same
articles by the purchaser from these
parties constitute no proper basis for
classification, but the classifc alton so
attempted is founded on no proper or
natural distinction, but is arbitrary
and contravenes sections 33 and 81 OF
article of the constitution.
The test case was brought by Peter
Luria, of Minneapolis, who was ar
rested while peddling in Rose town
ship, in Ramsey county, without a
license.
Backed by the other peddlers in the
state, he decided to fight the case, and
secured a writ of habeas corpus from
the supreme court. That court or
dered him discharged from custody OF
the sheriff. where he has nominally
been since his arrest.-Atwater Press.

A PoRuLIsT PRESIDENT

The pebs colonization scheme is at
tracing attention in Europe, The fol-
lowing remarkable view taken by the
London Spectator was cabled to the
Minneapolis Tribune Sunday.
"Collectivism hitherto has been con-
fined to foreigners in the United States,
particularly to Germans, but the new
movement means a native collectionist
party. Such party seems to be in
process of formation and may portend
great changes in the character of Am
erican politics. 1t is likely to exer-
else considerable influence throughout
the world sooner or later.

fairly successful a, collision between
the colonists and the trusts would be
bound to arise. The continued des.
potisms of trusts would occasion aeon.

II you want to see good sized
specimen of the decay and death of
earthly things as applied to the enter
prise of couple of large cities, just
visit St. Paul and Minneapolis. A
few years ago those two cities were
the center of all the enterprise, and

today how changed. Empty and tum-

as dead walls by the bill poster, mark
every business street, while decay has
laid it's hand upon some of the best

paralysis and death is there on every

is the trouble? That we cannot tell,

did free coinage of silver, for we have
had neither for long time. Let us
hope. however, that the pending tariff
measure may come up to republican
promises and afford business relief
