solidly Republican. The street railway
company has announced what it wants.
If the council refuses to grant it, then
upon that party will rest the conse-
quences. With a loving glance at the
genial Mr.. Lowry, it shouts, ''Vivat
imperator'' 1t bids the Republican
councilmen refuse to pass this ordi-
nance 'at their peril" This is high
sounding language, and an application
of the lash rather more open and vigor-
Gus than is customary even in Repub-
lican circles. But it is they who have
made the issue, and Democrats can
accept it with equanimity. The party
leaders in the council and the party
press have declared that Republicans
must stand in with the street railway
company and against the people. Hav-
ing regard for the interests of st. Paul,
we hope that this vigorous dragooning
will fail AS members of the political
opposition, we could ask no better for
tune for the Democracy than it's sue
cess. Now let us see what the Repub-
lican councilmen who have been order
ed to give their votes to the street rail-
way company, by it's various accredited
representatives, are going to do about

Second Ward Alderman Nav Prefer
Charges Against an officer Who
Was There.

Aid. Stutzman, of the Second ward
underwent an experience at Fort
Smelling Sunday evening which he will
not soon forget. In fact his official
dignity, as we'll as his person, was sub
jected to the toughest kind of treat
ment, and the Lilliputian city father
threatens to bring the matter before
the next meeting of the council to set
tie the question as to whether or not
a policeman can stand around and
watch a crowd of soldiers literally wipe
the streets with an alderman and hold
his job. Aid. Stutzman may reconsid-
er the threats he is said to have made.
but. be this as 1t may, it will not be
safe in future for any Of his associates
or constituency to mention Fort Smell
ling in his presence.
Aid. Stutzman's antipathy to soldiers
hereafter will be due indirectly to a
visit which he made to Fort Smelling
Sunday evening, and directly to a diff

Sans regulars. According to the story
related Of the affair, the city father
became embroiled with the bluecoat,
and in the excitement of the moment
landed a couple of punches on the SOL
diers jaw The soldier probably did
not know he was mixing UP with an
alderman, but the chances are that 1t
would have been all the same If he
had, end not taking kindly to the jolts
he received he waded intR the Second
ward statesman and soon stretched
him on his back in the street. BY this
time quite a crowd of regulars had
gathered to see that their companion
in arms did not come out second best
in the encounter, but when they saw
how easily the alderman had been out
generated, they enjoyed a good laugh
at his discontinue. Then a spirit of
devilment seized upon the soldiers.
With the rallying cry of victory they
pounced upon the recumbent alderman
and began rolling and turning him
over in the muddy street. About a
pump near the end of the street car
line is a broad. shallow pool, and
straight for the dampness the blue
coats hauled their victim. 1t was in
vain that he shouted and declared he
would have the law on his tormenters,
as by this time they were absorbed in
reckless enjoyment of their sport.
Swish! splash! went Aid Stutzman
into the water, and there his torment
ors left him. When he finally gained
his feet he was the maddest city Ct

WANTS HIS FARM BACK.
Ex-COnvict Claims to Have Been
Swindled by His Bondsmen.


Swindled by His Bondsmen.
GRAND FORKS, N. D., Sept 6--An
interesting suit has been started in the
district court here. Eight years ago
Michael Liston was arrested on the
charge of wheat stealing. At that
time he was the owner of a half-sec-
tion of valuable land but a short dis
tance. from the city. In order to secure
bail he decided the farm to Ole Brenna
who went on his bonds Afterwards
Liston gave himself up, thus releasing
his bondsman, and pleaded guilty to
the charge He was sentenced to thirty
months in the penitentiary. and was
pardoned before serving his time. In
the meantime Brenna decided the farm
to Michael Spencer, neighbor. He
in turn mortgaged it to John McCabe,
a moneyloaner When Liston was re-
leased from prison he made several un-
successful efforts to secure his proper
ty. He had finally given up all hopes
until a few days ago, when he read of
a similar case now being tried in the
Walsh county courts. He at once en-
gagged an attorney, to whom he told
his story, and the result was the fling
of a complaint against Ole Brenna,
Michael Spencer and John McCabe for
the recovery of the farm which is val
ued at $1,000. In addition to that he
asks for the value of the crops that
have been raised since he first decided
the farm to Brenna, and places their
value at $4,000

4 HAPPY CONSERVATION.

The great strike in the coal mining
region will have proved itself almost
worth while if it shall work out to the
cCnsummatiOn now suggested, of a gen.
eral agreement upon a scale by which
future strikes will be prevented The
arrangement for ending the present
disagreement by a return of the min
ers to work at a 65-cent rate, pending
arbitration, is a sensible and reason
able conclusion. If both parties had
been moderate at the outset, they
might have reached this ground Of
common understanding before the i'm
mense losses to both sides involved in
the strike were incurred instead of aft

rough-and- tumble world, however Il is

counsels prevail. 1t ought not to pe

their good behavior, and thus prepar-
ing them for return to full freedom
and to the rights of citizenship that
they have forfeited, needs only a hear
ty and conscientious cooperation on
the part Of the public to be a great
success.
Capt Cole has had no trouble with
his employees. He treats them like men
and finds them responsive. He has
sense enough to understand that the
frailties of human nature, responsible
for the original straying of offenders
from the path of right, must be met
with judicious combination of kind
ness and f1rmness. Such men must be
sib1e for their downfall, and especially
against the appetite for drink, to
which most Of them can attribute their
crimes and misfortunes. He under
far from wholly bad; and that, with
proper guidance and steady employment
under reasonable conditions, they may
be turned into honest, independent and
useful citizens
The great chasm that penology has
never successfully bridged stretches
between the prison life and the return
20 society. Over that great gulf a
means of passage must be found. There
is too little comprehension of the diff
Guilty which this presents, as much to
the convict as to the public at large.
One who gives a thought to the COM
prehensiveness of prison discipline, to
the freedom from temptation which
permits better influences to work and
better ideas to form in the conyicts
mind will understand in a moment
how these frail barriers, erected in a
time of seclusion, are subject to enor-
nous pressure when the prisoner is
turned back again to his old walks of
life Ii is not because these men are
all of them radically bad; it is not be-
cause their temporary reformation was
not real that so many Of them fail to
realize the promises they made. The
world is too strong for them. Weak in
all good works as they are, with the
taint of the penitentiary upon them
and with all the world looking at them
askanee, they find it easier to slip back
into the old familiar and vicious
courses than to tread steadily along
the upward path,
Nothing can do more to help and
strengthen them than12just such en-
ployment as this. When these men are
released on parole, SUBJECT still to the
supervision of the state, knowing that
their release is only temporary and
that misconduct will cause their re-
turn, they require wholesome labor
and freedom alike from the allurements
of vice and the contempt that fastens
itself SO easily upon the discharged
convict The place for them is on the
farm. Given hard, but wholesome la
Dor there, with firm yet kindly dis
cipline, they grow naturally toward
that new manhood of which they have
obtained some faint gIimmerings while
undergoing the punishment assigned
by law. II seems to us that employers
like Capt. Cole play quite as important
a part in the reformatory system as do
any of our laws or penal institutions.
Tt would be great thing for the pris-
oner and for the state if there were
more Of them.
