SMART SHORT STORIES.

In his latter days poor Lawrence Bar
rett would not countenance chatting dur
Ing performances. Therefore Louis
James prince of guyers, found him q
most interesting subject for his jokes
but at the same time as difficult to dis
concert He upset him completely on one
occasion. The play was Julius Caesar"
Barrett played Brutus; James, Cassius
In the scene where Cassius pays a visit
to Brutus to arrange the conspiracy
Brutus was seen suddenly to act in a
strange manner He was evidently hold
ing something in his hand that he was
trying to conceal, and seemd anxious but
unable to get rid Of. His toga, alasl like
modern lady's dress, was not blessed
with pockets. The explanation of the
matter was that Cassius, on greeting
him, had gently deposited in his hand
an egg.
At an assize court in England the late
Justice Maule was engaged in passing
sentence on a prisoner, when one of the
officers of the court annoyed him by
crossing the gangway beneath him with
papers for members Of the bar. Don't
you know" cried the judge severely, ad-
dressing the official culprft that you
ought never to pass between two gentle
men when one of them Is addressing the
other?" Having thus relieved his mind
the Judge proceeded to pass sentence of
seven years penal servitude on the
other gentleman.

Misrepresentation Concerning John
e. GIover's New Richmond Losses.
John e. Glover, of New Richmond, who
Is chairman of the committee which came
to st. Paul to enlist the sympathies Of
the jobbers and merchants in behalf OF
the cyclone sufferers, was misquoted in
his utterances before the chamber of com
merce Monday, it being published that he
had said he had lost every cent he had
in the world. Mr.. Glover said that some
of his neighbors had lost their all. He
did not appeal on his own behalf, as he
has extensive property interests at Hud-
son and elsewhere, and while he lost $685.,
900 by the storm at New Richmond. he
is not financially embarrassed. None of
those who were familiar to any extent
with Mr.. Glever's business enterprises
were misled by the error, but the state
ment has caused some Misrepresentation.

THE ONLY EXPLANATION.

That body of Republican statesmen
and reformers known as the board of
county commissioners of Ramsey county
may safely be allowed to carry on its
exhibitions of turbulence and bad man
ners on the part of it's members without
IT is not of very much moment whether,
as stated by the mayor at the last
gathering of that body, one of the Repub-
iican associates of his honor is DESTROYS
of getting his arms to the elbows in the
county treasury, as long as it is not APP
parent that he has them there now or
is likely to have them there in the imme-
6iate future But the public cannot af-
DDS which these statesmen resort to for
The adjustment of their personal and of
fetal disagreements.
For instance, Commissioner Powers
deems 1T a matter of official right on his
part to secure the allotment of 81 600 for
the construction of cycle path to New
Brighton. 1t is made plain beforehand
that there is no demand whatever for
such an expenditure of public funds, ex-
cept that which Mr.. Powers makes. On
the contrary, those alone who would be
expected to use the path after it is built
come forward and protest against the
expenditure as wrong, declaring that
they have no use for such a path, and
that the money, or some part of it, which
is asked for such a purpose could be ex-
pended to advantage in repairing existing
paths which are in general use. The
G l o e, too. felt called on beforehand
to protest as strenuously as it could
against such wanton misuse of the tax
payers money.
Now. how does this body of Republican
reformers respond to these protests?
Why by doing that which no one asks
shall be done, either Powers or those who
oppose Powers cycle path project They
refuse to make the repairs so badly need
ed, and proceed to compromise with Pow
ers' demand by ordering, at an expense
of $500, the construction of path to Lake
Johanna.
81 One thing ought to be settled In this
matter of cycle paths at this time That
e is: Who is qualified to judge whether a
3 path rs needed in given direction 2
Those who use the path, or those who
will have practically the disbursement
of the public funds used In its construc-
$ ton? If the board of county commits
( sicners are at liberty to expend the pub
lie funds in enterprises which the public
concerned declare unanimously to be
Valueless. It is quite high time that the
public give up all thought of expressing
their preferences or opinions in such
matters. No one asked for this Lake 10
hanna path. The interested public, on the
other hand, make a specific demand that
certain needed work of that kind shall
be done. The demand is. ignored. and
that which nobody asks for Is conceded.
We know of nc explanation to offer of
such strange abuse of official discretion
and such blunt contempt for public senti-
ment except such alone as is furnished
by the fact that the taxpayers of the
county have thought proper through
their ballots to put unrestrained power
In the hands of this particular class of
politicians. They are reaping every dav
the dangerous fruit of their own folly.
