too wise man to allow any trif1ing with

OUR MAYORS FIX.

Innocent man that he is, Mayor Kiefer
finds it impossible to believe that his new
detective appointee can have been the
victim of a conspiracy IL having the
charge of drunkenness and generally I'M
becoming conduct made against him by
his fellow members of the police force.
It would be interesting 10 learn how
the mayor can reconcile the charges
made ard sustained by the other Of
ficers' testimony with any ether theory
than that of conspiracy, unless he ac-
cepts the theory Of the guilt of his new
appointee.
There is no chance for any way out.
Either Detective Meyer was drunk and
misbehaving himself at the dance hall
in question or he was not, as he says, in
the vicinity of the hall at all that even
Ing. That Officers Babe and Ross knew
him there can be no question whatever.
So that all thought of mistaken identity
is disposed of.
Mayor Kiefer is quoted as saying that
if he could believe a conspiracy to have
existed he would follow the evidence Of
it no matter to what point 1t led him.
Just so. But that is just what Mayor
Kiefer Will not do. There will be no Oc-
casion for him to DO so. There is no oc-
casion for MIN to do Sc now. His own
police force is "set up" against him. He
knows 1t. This dance hall incident may
be but a single evidence of this truth.
If Mayor I1iefer desires to settle that
question he can readily do so.
The truth Is the mayor does not want
TO see matters as they exist on the police
force whether with reference TO him per-
sonally or with reference to the general
public interest. If he will follow by
thorough investigation the lead which
this little incident opens up to him, he
will receive some instruction regarding
the internal concerns of the police depart
ment that will be more or less surprising
to a gentleman naturally so guileless as
he is.

TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

Editor H. B. Brooks, of the RenviIle
record, makes some very sensible COM
ments in his columns last week on the
bitterness Of the ever recurring school
district fights in this state" He blames
the trouble upon the present haphazard
system of forming school districts" and
recommends that trial be made Of the
township school district system authoriz-
ed by the legislature a few wears ago.
to be rid Of the constant pickering
over boundaries and sites that embroils
neighborhoods and makes enemies of
friends Under this system there wou- d
be one township school, graded and equip
ped as are village schools; the children
are gathered every morning and carried
home evenings by teams hired for the
purpose; there is one township board one
efficient school and a reduction of total
expense.
Thus Editor Brooks sums I'D the ad an
tages Of the township school district
system, while the disadvantages of the
present irregular system are obvious to
any person who has had any experience
with rural district schools But there
are some things to be said against the
township plan and its general adoption in
the state. 1t is often not practicable
on account Of geographical difficulties. A
township may be divided by rivers or
lakes, or other natural barriers, and in
such cases the adoption of the township
plan would entail hardship and expense.
Or, in the more sparsely settled districts
of the state, the settlements may be for
the most part on the boundary lines of
two, three, or even at the intersectng
lines Of four townships, and the only
practicable way Of securing school is
for the residents of these two or more
towns to unite in one school district The
surrounding settlements may be in sim
liar positions and pursue the same plan.
Then, as the district fills up with set
tiers, the original school districts will be
divided, not upon the arbitrary lines of
the government survey, but on the lines
most feasible and convenient to meet the
requirements of gradual settlement.
In old settled districts where there are
no geographical obstacles, the township
school district plan might be adopted
with advantage, but its adoption would
no doubt give rise to as much bitterness
and reighborhood st1ife as at present oc-
cur over the occasional adjustment of
the present school district boundaries.
And it must be remembered, too, that
Minnesota is a state noted for the vast
number of its lakes and rivers, and it
is a poor township that does not possess
one or more lakes or streams. So that
geographical obstacles would cut much
greater figure than they do In Indiana
or any other state where the township
system Is followed.

SMART SHORT STORIES.

One day the famous Gordon was having
luncheon with Lady Ripon in Carlton
gardens. Lord Cowper was there. and
on Gordon's departure he asked who that
little man was, and was much disappoint-
ed on hearing that it was Gordon with
whom he had not had any conversation.
He told his brother Henry Of this, who
determined he would not lose such an
opportunity, so went next day to lunch
con with the Ripons, and hung on the
lips OF man who was there. After lunch
con he said how glad he had been to have
met Gordon: "Oh, no. said Lady Ripon,

Post. The latter was very dignified and

One day the commander was in swim

wager with a fellow officer that he would
destroy his seniors equanimity-in naval
parlance, rattle him The wager was
accepted, and a moment afterward Eames
was in the water swimming toward his
superior officer. Suddenly he paused and.
stopping his powerful overland stroke
began treadtng water. Then he saluted
precisely as II he had been on a quarter
deck. To the young mans intense sur

with equal gravity. Mr.. Eames lost his
wager.

had once entered into an engagement to
write a story of 10000 words. In the pres
sure of other work he forgot all about it.
The day before the date fixed for publica-
ton meek young subeditor glided into
the room, and said he had come for the
story. The author sat up all night die
tating into the monograph, his two sec
retaries sat UP - him, and the story
was ready by the time the paper went
to press. And it was a very good story,
too. But the author had to go to bed for
twenty-four hours to recover tone.

The unexpected death Of Mr.. Eugene Y.
SmaIIey, of this city, will occasion deep
regret not only in the city which he
served so Loyalty during many years Of
his active life and among the wide range
of his personal friends. but among thou
sands Of his fellow Americans throughout
the entire country
Mr.. Smalley was q journalist of national
fame He was a large Drained, large.
hearted gentleman, whose strong person.
which attended every undertaking to
which he had put his hands during life.
1t was not the fortune of the G ! b to
be generally in agreement with Mr..
Smalley's views on national policy. His
political opinions we have never shared
to any extent. But in every sphere Of in
huence aside from the political one, in
which the G o e found itself in touch
with him, it discovered in the deceased
gentleman all the qualities which render
distinctive American citizenship of the
highest order. He combined the labors
of a man Of affairs with those of the lit
erary worker more successfully than IS
often seen. AS a business man, a scholar.
publicist and a private citizen of the
great public he has stood for years unique
in the progressive life of the Northwest
Through the pages of the splendid mag
azine. founded by him and conducted with
such signal success for many years, the
Northwest Magazine. 1t was made the
privilege of Mr.. SmalIey to do perhaps
more than any other Individual to imme-
dlately and directly call the attention of
the people of the entire country to the
ineXhaustible resources of the great
Northwest Few other men could have
carried such a burden It's conduct re-
quired literary powers Of the highest or
der, the faculty for organization COM
bined with an executive and business
ability which is rarely If ever found COM
bined in any one man. He had but reach
ed the prime Of his powers, and might or
dinarily be regarded as certain Of be-
slowing many additional years on the
advancement Of his public-spirited Ia
bors; but like all men of great ambition
and large endowments, he was prodigal Of
himself, and he has unhappily paid the
penalty.
To his family and friends the GIob ex-
tends the full measure Of its profound
sympathy and sorrow. The people of the
Northwest will find it difficult to go too
far in expressing over his remains the
profound regret with which they regard
his death and the deep love and graft
tude with which his labors in the general
good have caused him to be regarded
among all classes of his fellow citizens.
