THREE GREAT JINGOEs

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Rhodes, Kipling and Kitchener stand for
the English race. Understand them and
we can understand why the Angio-Saxon
conquers wherever he goes. The first and
third of these are in the full vigor of man
hood with their capacities fully developed.
But Kipling is still a youth and we may
expect his best work in the future. These
three men are heirs Of the sea dogs and
singing birds of the Elizabethian age. The
breed has not run out. AS long as such
men appear Englishmen and Americans
need have no fear of waning fortunes.

SENATOR PLATT Is VERY WELL

From the Admission Index. 81
Admission was honored by the presence of
General e. w. Pettus, junior United States
senator from Alabama, and Mrs. Pettus
and the senator's secretary and nephew,
Mr. Lacey, wife and child. The party was
enroute to Selma, the senator's home, and
only stayed in the city a short while; the
time being spent at the Calhoun. Senator
Pettus is looking the embodiment of Wig
orous robust health and. judging from his
appearance, the man who is waiting to
step into his shoes will have a long, tedious
time of it.

Mayor Gray, of Minneapolis, has asked
for a larger police department. In long
communication to City Comptroller
Rogers the mayor says the present force
is not sufficient, numerically, 20 afford
the citizens of Minneapolis the protection
they deserve. His honor suggests the
present force of patrolmen be increased
by thirty-four new men, to be divided
among the several stations. In his letter
the -yor asks for the usual annual ap-
preparation, in which he includes the sal
aries Of the thirty-four men asked for.
He also suggests that two additional
heutenants be placed upon the pay roll.
Mayor Gray complains bitterly against
the present deplorable condition of the
North side police station, stating, among
other things, that the walls are so weak
that they have to be propped, and that I'M
less needed repairs are soon made the
building will have to be rebuilt
Two additional funds are also asked for
by the mayor. one to be known as the
dog pound fund. and the other as a
contingent fund to be placed at the dis
posal of the superintendent Of police, to
be used to defray the expenses of the
detectives in procuring evidence in GRIM
inal cases. -
In closing his letter Mayor Gray adds:
II also request that contingent fund of
$1,000 be appropriated. to be placed at the
disposal Of the chief of police. This fund
would be used exclusively in securing
evidence. and paying the expenses Of
officers In making trips outside Of the
city for criminals etc The DoIioa 5a

curing evidence against blind pigs,

UP-RIVER EXCURSION.
Annual Outing of the Immaculate
Conception Parish

Next Wednesday, Aug g. the members
of Immaculate Conception parish will en-
joy their annual excursion on the Missis-
sippi. Instead of taking the boat at Min
nehaba, as enormously announced last
week. they will take it at ST. Paul and go
from here by chartered cars to the Saint
ly City. The street cars will be side
tracked on First aven south and Second
street. Minneapolis at q. m, and the
last car will leave at o'clock sharp in
order that all passengers may be on time
for the boat, which will leave ST. Paul at
1918 for the st. Croix river, and return
to st. Paul at p. m. sharp, where the
chartered cars will be waiting to bring
the crowd to Minneapolis
Judging from the preparations that
have been in progress for several
weeks this coming excursion will surpass
in number any hitherto held this season.
The managers have been indefatigable in
their eXertions to make it the grandest
affair ever given under the auspices Of
the parish. The ladies, particularly, have
been putting forth every effort for its
success, and the gentlemen on the various
committees have been .unremitting in
their attention to every detail connected
with the enterprise.
Inc committee on. entertainment has
engaged the A. o. H. Cadet Band of forty
pieces and ar orchestra of seven pieces
to resale the excursionists with soul
stirring airs. George Sinclair and Archie
johnson have been also secured to play
the mandolin. guitar and bagpipes on the
Journey. The ladies will serve refresh
ments on board the boat at noon and In
the evening, and everything will be done

own particular selfish ends. Year after
year the police department has piteously
besOUght that committee to give it fair
appropriation. and just so often has that
department been passed up. Ever since
1893 the police appropriation has dwindled
to a point where patrol wagon drivers
were cautioned not to use too must axle
grease, lest the appropriation should be
dangerously attacked. But 1t is to be
hoped now that the members Of the COM
mittee, which is soon to be named by
President Crosby, will take into consider
alton the fact that Minneapolis is a city
OF 225,0OO inhabitants, and should have at
least 225 patrolmen. These men should
be paid living wages. and the city should
not hesitate to do as we'll by it's police

the time to dispose of that cesspool gen
orally known as the central station. If
the city authorities had an eye to busi-
ness they would sell or rent that building
to Mott & Co., thereby dropping out of
sight the poorest piece of property on its
hands. This building might, through
some modern process of disinfectlon, be
rendered habitable for ordinary dray
horses, but it is doubtful If blooded stock
would survive any definite time inside its
cockroach-traveled walls. Then. again
there should be a decent police sta
ton built on the East Side 1t Is a Won
der the people of that popuous section
OF the city have put up with sucn treat

have to guard and protect themselves and
their property is housed In a rented

were put into circulation.
The robbers have relatives and friends
here who will lend them all the aid pos
