THE MAYOR MIST ACT

The examination which has been in
progress in the local police court for some
days past of certain defendants charged
with gambling, whatever its result may
be, will have proved one thing to be true.
That is that, if. as many persons are
satisfied gambling has continued to pre-
vail in this city, It has not so prevailed
with the knowledge or concurrence of
Mayor Kiefer.
1t will be recalled that the police de-
partment some months ago arrested and
brought into court two or three little
newsboys on the charge of engaging in
gambling. The boys game was conduct
ed, if we recollect rightly, on the side
walk, and the stakes were such as bows
of that description play for Just at that
time there was a disposition in certain
local Republican quarters to make public
their knowledge that gambling was being
conducted with the knowledge and con-
nivance of certain police officials The
charge had been made as plainly as it
might be without too serious results by
a local Republican sheet. It was never
denied. The only response made to the
charge was the arrest of the little boys,
which, in itself, was in the nature Of g.
very weak 'stall."
There was gambling In progress then.
There is gambling III progress now. It
was in Droo-aSe I,afOro +t,o+ H..
has been since the opening of the present
administration. 1t has been in progress
steadily in the interval The game pulled
on Third street by Mayor Kiefer was no
mere isolated instance Of the violation of
the law. The police found it convenient
to have a quantity of gambling materials
brought to the police station, with a
very brief notice, just as soon as they
learned of the mayors operations. They
also found it possible to arrest a man
on Seventh street in an almost miraculous
manner with a gripsack in his hand con-
tanning gambling material This latter
transaction would have indicated great re-
sources on the part of the police in the
psychological art of mind reading were
it not, as the mayor says, childish.
1t IS not possible fer the mayor or his
license inspector to do the work which
they have undertaken. The police au-
thorities will NOTE do 1t. If the present
prosecution breaks down, 1t will afford
infinite pleasure to the police officials,
and they will, in the language of the
day, have the laugh" on his honor
Why then longer fool with a serious
situation? If the mayor is content to
assume the implied responsibility for the
prevalence of gambling and other forms
of vice in this city, all right. But he
cannot escape the responsibility II he
continues to have his police department
administered as it now is.

CONFRONTING A MONOPOLY.

The G o b e has been among the first
to sound note of public warning against
the movement which has been in progress
for some time past to increase the price
of meat to consumers to the point of open
extortion. 1t has given ample reasons
for it's conclusion that such action is the
work, not of any natural or economic
conditions prevailing in the trade, but of
the determination of the meat trust to
render it's own will an arbitrary rule OF
conduct with the public.
1t is a gratifying circumstance that the
butchers of st. Paul are among the first
in the country to rise to the demands
of the occasion. That particular one of
their several complaints which shows
the local representatives of the meat
trust to be engaged in an invasion of the
retail market affords another indication,
among many, of the purpose outlined
from time to time in these columns of the
trust to secure control of the avenues OF
the retail trade as it has of those
Of the wholesale trade, as well as of
the slaughtering and cattIe-purchasing
business.
The mass meeting of the retail butch
ers of st. Paul may not be followed by
any immediate definite results. 1t will,
at least, accomplish this much: It will
force upon the local retail butchers the
e
course of time lead to the adoption Of
some intelligent plan whereby they may
be able to safeguard not only their own
interests but those of the common people,
their customers.
1t is doubtful whether anything that
the retail butchers of the country may be
able to do will be effective for theirs and
the consumers purposes short of pro-
ceeding to re-establish as quickly and as
effectively as they can the conditions
prevailing in their business before the
monopoly of the trust was established.
This they will in time be called on to do
as self-respecting merchants. They can
not do 1t at once; nor can they do it at
all without a bitter struggle But the
struggle they must make. They are them
selves assailed even moro dangerously
than their customers, for, look which way
they may, the prospect is placed before
them by the trust of Withdrawing to
some other and more lucrative calling
than that which they now follow If
they are not to be driven from the bust
ness, they must consent to make them
selves the agents of the monopoly in it's
evident course Of public extortion Be-
tween these two alternatives there Is but
one course for them, if they are not to
be impaled on either horn of the dilemma.
It is not-the public in any degree what
ever that now has the right to say what
their profits shall be- That is being
fixed for them by the trust, and it is
fixed at such a margin as involves both
the i'll treatment of the public and of
themselves.
The issue is very simple. The holding
OF last nights mass meeting is the first
step and the right step under all the cir
cumstances. There can be but one result
il the butchers. are true to themselves
and to their customers.

SMART SHORT STORIES.

At Lamarque's funeral in Paris the
crowd took out Gen. Lafayette's horses,
as the famous soldier was returning
home from the service and drew his
carriage to his hotel with many evil
dences of enthusiastic love and admira-
ton. The scene was a stirring one and
a friend, in referring to it some weeks
afterward, said: You must have been
very much pleased" Lafayette looked
at him for a moment in silence and then
said, with a whimsical smile: eyes.
I was very much pleased-very much
pleased, indeed. But I never saw any
thing more of my horses, my dear
friend"
Gov. Roosevelt attended the last con-
yention at Cornell, and while there was
entertained at one of the college fra
ternity houses. When he was about to
leave one of his staff said to him: Gov
ernOr, the boys have an excellent library
in the house and 1 think they would ap-
preciate fits enlargement by a copy Of
your Rough Riders" Teddy" in an
outburst of good-fellowship, exclaimed:
"AIl right, boys, I'll be glad to send
you a copy with my compliments; the
book would be a very small return In
deed for your hospitality" Whereupon
one of the boys replied, eXcitedly! That's
so, governor; I've read it."
once when John Van Buren,, son of
President Van Buren,, was making a
speech in behalf of his father an old
Democrat rose in the audience and up
braided him as a bolter. John replied
to the charge with an anecdote some
thing like this: Zone day man on
horseback came up with a boy who was
contending with an overturned load of
hay. Instead of tossing the hay back
on the wagon, the boy was energetically
tossing it hither and thither, regardless
of where it landed The traveller halted
and said My young friend, why do
you work so furiously this hot weather?
Why do you not toss the hay back on
the wagon and be more deliberate in
your labors? The boy stopped, wiped
the streaming perspiration off his face
on his shirt sleeve, and, pointing to the
pile of hay on the roadside, exclaimed:
Stranger. dads under thar and then
he set about work more furiously than
ever"

Over-Wise Candidates for Citizen
shin.

SNIP
New York World
In the United States court last week
three applicants for citizenship were re-
Jected upon extraordinary grounds.
In Case One the ground is found in the
following colloquy between the clerk OF
the court and the applicant:
=. Who in the United States are eIigi-
BILE to become president?
A. Mark Hanna.
In Case Two:
Q.Who is mayor of New York;
A. Croker
In Case Three:
Q. Who is governor of New York?
Courts of law must of necessity deal in
fine distinctions And for that reason
the action of this court in these cases
may perhaps be justified. But. on the
other hand, is it not highly important
that citizens of this country should strive
to distinguish between things as they are
reputed to be and things as they areP DO
we not need all the citizens we can get
. who have the discernment to brush aside
mere appearances and get at the heart
of the truth?
Perhaps the man who thought that Mr..
Hanna and his syndicate are sure of q re-
election was too positive. Perhaps the
man who said that Mr.. Plat Is governor
attached too much Importance to the
legislative branch of the state govern
ment and to Mr.: Platt's influence as an
adviser to Col. Roosevelt. Perhaps the
man who said Mr. Croker is mayor of
New York was guilty of lese majestic in
taking too low and too narrow a view of
the king.
But did not all these show that they
were students of our politics, our practi-
cal politics, rather than mere parrots re-
peating the misleading facts set down in
textbooks on our government?

torneys' fees must be accepted as de-
signed to save all the available assets to
those who have the only true claim upon
them.
Mr.. Hodgson is an estimable business
man of this city. His ability is generally
acknowledged, and his standing in the
commercial world is fully attested by the
splendid position in business life which
he occupies. No other choice would have
been more generally satisfactory. The
new receiver is peculiarly qualified by ex-
pert knowledge for the duties which will
devolve on him. His service, too, as a
the court will have given him such IA
miliarity with the affairs Of the bank
as will enable him at once to enter upon
his duties and to wind up the affairs Of
the bank as speedily as circumstances
will at all admit of.
The creditors of the bank, as well as
that has been done as being conceived
and executed in their interest. The re-
suit will be made plain to the depositors
in the speedy, economical and efficient
service which will be rendered by Re-
ceiver Hodgson in placing at their dis
posal every dollar that can be realized
from the banks assets. The hope and
expectation are apparently equally we'll
founded that, when the work is com
pleted, the creditors will find that they
will not have been deprived of any but
a small fraction of the funds entrusted by
them to the banks safe keeping.

Substitute Proposition for One Made

for War With the EngIish-Situ-

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE CORRESPONDENTS
of the Times and the Standard at johann
nesburg confirm the statement of the cor
respondent Of the Daily Mail, asserting
that the new scheme of the Transyaal
executive is said to be the result of de-
liberations between Pretoria, BIoemfoE-
tein and the Afrikander politicians at
Cape Town. The johannesburg CORE
spondent of the Morning Post says:
1T is stated on all hands that the Beers
are threatening that in the event Of war
they will murder all Englishmen and out
rage their women. All the burghers in
the Krugersdorp district were warned
yesterday to take the field at moments
notice"
The Johannesburg correspondent of the
Daily Mail says:
Il learn that, instead of replying to the
proposal of Mr.. Chamberlain to refer the
franchise controversy to a joint commits
sion of inquiry, the TransvaaI govern
ment will intimate its willingness to grant
a five years simple franchise, RETROSPECT
tive and unclouded by restrictions, and
that the representation of the gold fields
will be extended to one-fourth of the
volksraad thus exceeding the fifth de-
manded by Sir Alfred Miner, and render
ing an inquiry into the present franchise
law unnecessary.
Nothing will be demanded in return for
these concessions, but a suggestion will
be made that the imperial government
should grant something reciprocal.
This apparent surrender must, however,
be received with caution. Unless the new
laws are properly secured by effectuaI
guarantees they may only be intended to
grant the shadow of reforms, with the
object of gaining time, and placing Great
