REFORM BY MANnAN1rS

Inc pursuit Of local politics is not re-
garded as having at all an ennobIino ef-
feet upon mems conceptions Of public
duty and obligation. The consideration OF
the problems Of municipal government
by the active local politicians is not usual
ly maintained on either the purely aca-
demic or even the relatively scientific
basis. The great.-end and aim with the
practical politician in regarding the prob-
lens of local government is the acnui-.
s1tion of control of the local Offices.
The extent to which the local politician
will go in this behalf has been attested
in very remarkable way within a day ou
two in our sister city of MINNEAPOLIS
They are not as highly moral a people
i'll Minneapolis as we are here in ST
Paul, at least outwardly and in one par
ucular direction. Gambling has been con.
Quoted in that city without much show OF
concealment for a good number of wears.
1t was permitted even under that truly
good Republican reformer, William
Henry Eustis, and under his Republican
successor, and no doubt all traces of the
evil may not be said to have died out
undeT the administration of that chaste
journalist and Democratic statesman
James Gray
And so 1t happened to dawn upon the
astute minds Of certain reforming local
Republican politicians that it was a gricv
Gus scandal, which if made generally
known would help them to acquire once
more the control of the local offices. that
Mayor Gray had not emulated the glort
Gus example of our own Mayor Kiefer
and gone forth to catch the elusive
gamblers red-handed. They accordingly
no doubt having in mind the glorious
operations of st. -Pauls great Repub
Ican executive, determined that they
would force the hand of Mayor Cray and
compel him to essay the role Of local
sleuth. The means they adopted were
unique in the history of judicial OPERA
lions. They applied for and secured an
alternative mandamUs to compel Mayor
was easy; but when they endeayored tn
make that alternative nandamus perma-
nent they found themselves astride of a
horse OF an entirely different color.
These ingenious Republican reformers
of Minneapolis knew, of course. in the
region which may be referred to as their
soul, that Mayor Gray was not executing
the law, as all good mayors are wont to
do. And what more Iaudable end can be
conceived Of than to compel the eyasive
Gray to proceed to do so? Their knowI-
edge Of the science of government had
not yet enabled them to compass the idea
that the job of establishing by.competent
| evidence that the mayor was not dis
charging his duties was almost as difficult
| as to compel him to do so, even if he
were not, Or to prescribe the manner in
which he should do so. AS a result, of
| course, the judicial arm came down upon
| these reformers and smote them into a
| condition Of speechlessness.
| The mandamus is time honored and
| all-embracing judicial process; but it is
evidently difficult weapon to be handled
| successfully by the political reformer.
Had these Minneapolis reformers only
borne in mind the splendid example of
Judge Tow of Louisville, Ky, and ap-

BOGUS BUTTER IN DULUTH.

Reports Several Convictions.

Assistant Dairy Commissioner D. B.
White returned from Duluth yesterday
where he made it pretty lively for a
brief period for the restaurant and board
inghouse keepers who served oleomar-
garine without displaying the required
sign. In company with a state inspector
he secured something like a score of
convictions, and in addition to a great
amount of oleomargarine he confiscAted
lot of process" butter.
Duluth seems to be a favorfte point
for the sale of imitation butter, and is
a sort Of distributing point for the lum-
Der camps, which use it almost exciu-
sively. 1t brings on the market from five
to eight centse.less than the real cow
product, and is manufactured in so close
an imitation to- butter that only an ex-
pert can determine the difference.
