"The identity of the leaders in
the lynching mob is known, but
thus far no steps have been taken
against them
That is the concluding sentence
Of dispatch from the Zenith City,
setting forth, how by the disap-
pearance, or alleged theft Of 1852
from two drunken, dissipated and
rabbid Polanders, a human life
came within a very small margin
of being sacrificed.
1t is beyond comprehension why
the brutes, masquerading in the
garb of human beings, who hold
the lives of others of less value
than their miserable $1,000 and
who, it is stated, are known, were
not forthwith taken into custody
by the officers of the law.
Laws are made for the protec-
ton and safety of society, and the
officers are appointed to see to it
that the lives as we'll as the prop
erty Of the Inhabitants Of this
great and glorious country, shall
be secure.
A greater value seems to have
been placed upon property than
upon life, for witness, the man
who it is alleged had appropriated
money that did not rightfully be-
long to him, and who came very
near paying for his indiscretion
with his life, was promptly, as
soon as the "watch-dogs" Of socie-
ty happened along, put into a
place of safety to keep him from
installing other peoples money
for his own, thereby showing their
faithfulness as servants of the
people. But they, who upon the
least provocation or upon the i'm
pulse of their besotted, drunken
and foul brain were ready to take

to civilize savage people-savage.
1t is very doubtful whether a
Filipino has ever been guilty
everything considered-of SO des-
perate crime as that attempted
by drunken rowdies in Duluth,
sovereign citizens Of this blessed
and free country Of ours.
It is high time that the frivo-
lous regard for human life enter
tanned by this class of ci--, [
came near saying citizens wolves
in sleeps clothing is better suited
to their calling-be put to an end,
that we may indeed be the best,
the noblest, the most humane and
the most civilized nation upon the
face Of this earth, who love and
respect life, liberty and happiness.

A NEW WARDEN.

Henry Wolfer, who has been
warden of the Minnesota state
prison since June l, 1892, resigned
last Thursday, and at a special
meeting of the board of prison
managers Gen. G. McC. Reeve Of
Minneapolis was chosen as his
successor. The retirement of Mr..
Wolfer was no surprise to members
of the board Of prison managers,
who have known for some time
that strong pressure was being
brought to bear upon Mr.. Wolfer
by several manufacturing concerns
throughout the country, particu-
larry the Northwest Grass Twine
Company Of st. Paul. On a re-
cent trip to New York he met the
directors of the company, and a
fattering offer was made to him
which he decided to accept. He
will become general manager of
the concern and will have general
supervision over the three large
plants owned by the company at
st. Paul, West Superior and Osh-
kosh, Wis. He will receive a
salary Of $4,000 per year and will
remove to St. Paul, where he will
reside. Gen. Reeve, who was
chosen warden by unanimous vote
Of the prison board, will assume his
duties Dec. l, but came to Still
water last Monday and will remain
until Dec. l, to acquaint himself
with the duties of his new office.
Gov. Lind was present at the
board meeting, and, Gen. Reeve,
who was also in the city, remained
at the Sawyer house until after
the board had made the selection
He was notified by telephone and
Immediately went to the prison,
where he received formal notice OF
his appointment. Gen. Reeve felt
highly pleased, as did also many
of his former national guard friends
in the city. The new warden has
never had any prison experience
but has been identified with bust
ness interests in Minneapolis fol
twenty eight years. He was born
in Western New York and is g
graduate Of Yale. He went to
Manila as colonel of the Thirteenth
Minnesota volunteers, and soon
afterward was promoted to briga.
der general. He expects to bring
his family to Saltwater as soon as
possible.- Pioneer Press.

GAUNTLET REFUSED
Citizens League Put up 7hei,
Money and Saloon men
Fear to C0ver Same.
Communicated,

Recently when the question Of grant
ing or refusing licenses to keepers Of
saloons came up before the Honorable,
the city council of Grand Junction;
members of the Citizens League appear
ed in the council chamber advocating
no-license and conclusively showing the
advantages to both family and business
interests which would result from the
abolishment of the evil.
The applicants for license made claim
to the support Of an overwhelming ma
jority OF the city voters In their favor.
and their claim was evidently conceded
for the licenses we're granted.
They were issued for only short term
however, and the city council by seven
affirmative votes directed that special
license or no license election be held in
the preset month and that the Citizens
Leagus and the saloon men should each
deposit with tho city clerk the sum Of
one hundred dollars to defray the cleo
ton expenses, the losing side to get its
money back.
Seven eouncilmen voted for this meas
ure, agreeing to abide by the decision of
the people at such special election In the
matter OF granting or withholding Ii
cense thereafter.
This proposition met with the instant
approval Of the saloon men, who agreed
to put up the money, but although no.
titled repeatedly that the League money
was up they have been afraid to meet
the straight issue.
The Citizens League backed its be-
lief in the predominant better element,
with the one hundred dollars called for
duly deposited with the city clerk. But
in spite of loudly boasted majorities,
the license people refused to comply
with the election requirements.
The time having now expired, we
claim this election by default; We also
demand that the seven councilmen re-
fuse to grant license to saloons when the
present licenses expire, until such time
as the saloon men shall show by
straight license vote that the citizens
OF Grand Junction will have the dram
shop.
