MIR. MENAGE,s RETURN.

Mr.. Louis F. Menage has returned to
Minneapolis to begin life over again. AS
he modestly avows that his ambitions
are great, there can be no substantial
doubt that in his selection of the place
of his new beginning he showed excel
lent judgment. Mr.. Menages success in
a comparatively short space of time in
Minneapolis affords assurance that his
ambitions can hardly be too great to
surpass his reasonable expectations.
Mr.. Menage assures the world that he
went to Mexico, Guatemala and other
far-away lands for rest and recupera-
tion. Life was sweet. and business was
dull. Judging at least by the length of
his stay his health will probably be re-
stored by this time. His creditors were
doubtless In reduced health as well as

pose they had to worry along in their
old abiding places, being unable to in
dulge themselves In. the luxury of a for
eign trip and prolonged absence abroad.
If Mr.. Manages health had not been
so greatly reduced he might have found
a comfortable abiding place In his own
clares, so Unexpectedly upon him, in
which event the statute of limitations
might come in handy for his present pur-
poses. But, as the lawyers say, time is
the essence of contracts, such as many of
those in which Mr.. Menage had engaged
himself, and six years is a comfortable
period of time 1t will doubtless be found
to have blighted the enthusiasm of the
criminal authorities of his beloved city,
and to have played some havoc with the
laws and instruments of evidence.
Minneapolis is distinguished In the re-
spect that those of her favorite sons
who have found their burdens too heavy
to bear deem 1t in the last event a har-
Dor of safety and rest. Mr.. Menage is not
the only gentleman so circumstanced who
has found that on a complete return of
physical and mental health that favored
city Is. after all, the most available. Men
OF great ambitions regard it as In a sense
their native heather and they return to
1t In the bitssful and assured expectation
that great talents and great ambitions
are there regarded with that degree of
favor which assures the thoroughlv dili.
gent and painstaking f1nancier of the
highest consideration.
If there were no other considerable
sufficient to secure cordial welcome to
Mr.. Menage in Minneapolis, the assur
ance which that veracious gentleman
himself offers that he will pay every dol
lar he owes would assure it to him. Like
many other Napoleons of finance he saws
he is the victim of circumstances and
never dealt dishonesty by any man.
What more natural than that such a
man should seek the restoration of his
shattered health and fortunes in the
great city which is our urban neighborf

poIICE TERRoRIsNI.

The prosecution of the man Bishop,
charged with maintaining disorderly
house, has been effective at least in
bringing out certain facts relating to our
local police administration which should
arouse the moral sense of the community.
The Globe has already expressed its
opinion of the plan resorted to by the
police authorities to secure the evidence
necessary to conviction in the two trials
already had We have denounced that
conduct as in the nature of public and
private infamy; and we believe the char
acterization will not be regarded as any
too severe in view of the developments Of
this shameful case.
OF course no one has any serious eX-
pectation that anything will be done to
punish those who have been involved in
the preparation and prosecution OF these
cases. The public blackmail and terror
ism which have distinguished the con-
duet of the police administration through
out will receive no recognition at official
hands The supremacy of our Republican
politicians in all the departments Of our
local government is too well established,
and they find their several berths alto
gether pecuniarily too profitable to war
rant any expectation that any official
among them, from the mayor down, will
do anything which will tend to maintain
the recollection of the disgraceful affair
longer in the public mind than can be
avoided. The members OF our local po-
litical ring may quarrel to their hearts
content with each other, but when it
comes to saying or doing anything which
is likely to weaken their aggregate hold
on the offices of the city and county the
people can assure themselves that the re-
suits will not be very encouraging.
Judge Hine very properly suggested in
his charge to the jury in this latter ex-
animation that individual policemen are
often to be regarded as acting under their
superiors' orders. This may have been
the case with the man Christian. But,
whether acting under orders or on his
own responsibility, his gratuitous as
saults on the personal, professional and
official character of the attorney for the
defendant surpass anything of the kind
that has ever been witnessed in any COM
munity, so far as we know
When the facts of this case are consfd-
cred in the light of the statement of one
of the jurymen, quoted in these columns,
that dozens of other places are running
with the consent Of the police''-a state
ment which is generally accepted as true
it is easy to understand what sort of a
police administration now prevails in
this city.
The assurance is given that this case
will be prosecuted to an end. We sin
cerely hope without expecting so, be-
| lieving that the politicians and office
holders constituting our local Republican
ring, have already had more light thrown
on their methods than they desire.

A POOR EXCISE.

Mayor Ktefer has essayed an explana-
ton of the fact that brutal rufflan has
been able with impunity for many months
past to engage himself in the assault and
attempted robbery of helpless young
women in the principal residence district
Of this city. His plea that the police
force of the city Is limited and the terri
| tory to be patrolled large is good so far
as it goes. But it is not sufficient to ex-
plain the state Of things, complained: or
The few men that are ordinarily needed
for police duty on ST. Anthony hill are
quite adequate for ordinary purposes
But Mayor Keifer has, in addition to his
18O policemen, force of detectives more
or less skilled in their calling. In the bust.
ness of detection they have not been
especially active or successful for many
months past, so far as there is any rec
ord of their efforts. Their performances
in cases Of grave crime do not attest that
their services in other directions might
not be dispensed with with a view
for the capture of the assailant of
helpless and unattended women up
on st. Anthony hill. There Is but
little of serious crime committed In
this city to keep them engaged. The last
murder committed here remains still
mystery, only rendered all the more dense
by their utterly stupid efforts to arrest
its perpetrators and the silly performance
of our prosecuting officials in putting a
man on trial for the larceny of the watch
OF the murdered man without daring to
charge him with the murder
We do not know that the result would
be much different from what it has been
if Mayor Kiefer would assign his chief
of detectives and his superb staff to the
duty of patrolling the district infested by
this cowardly fellow, but at least it would
have the good effect of keeping them from
making fools of themselves in prosecu-
tions such as those Of Mr.. Shattuck, for
assault, and the man Nick Kauth, for the
larceny Of the Middleton watch.
There are any number of police districts
in this city in which no offense whatev
has been committed for an indefinite
period. If the mayor would for the time
being leave certain of those districts un.
covered and place the men as
signed to them on the hill. he might with
the aid thus secured and without over
working his magnificent detective staff bs
able in time to advise the public of the
capture of this prowling thug who now
carries on his operations to the terror of
a large and respectable class of our
people

ENLARG1NG COMO PARK.


Since the supreme court has now af-
| firmed the action of the district court
in establishing the right of the park
! board to certain lands previously occu-
pied and used in connection with the
workhouse. the subject of the extension
and enlargement of Como park assumes
| new Importance
| We do not know that the new addition
| will greatly enhance either the beauty
OF the extent Of the park But it will
| emphasize the need that exists of ex-
! tending that center of popular outdoor
| resort in every direction
st. Paul Is exceptionally fortunate in
the possession Of Como park It is the
one pleasure ground in the two cities
which appeals successfully to the tastes
| Of the people. 1t is almost as generally
frequented by the people of our sister
city as by our own, and were it possible
| to dispense with the double fare now
| rendered necessary On the part of visitors
from Minneapolis it might properly be
regarded as a great fnterurban splav
ground.
Como park has one great defect. 1T Is
too small for it's purposes. 1t might be
enlarged to twice or three times it's pres
ent proportions without doing the citv
any injustice. The topography of the
surrounding section is such as suggests
its peculiar fitness for park purposes. The
lake should really be the center of an
amphitheater OF surprising natural
beauty.
There are many other points of ex-
traordinary loveliness in and around st.
Paul, but it is quite evident that none
! of them appeals to the popular taste as
does Como. For what the park board
has done for the Identification of this
lovely place it is entitled to the thanks
Of all the people. The work has been
well done. Its appreciation by the
masses could not be higher If they can
but secure the facilities for possessing
themselves of all the desirable property
possible in its vicinity, they will leave
behind them monument to their devo-
ton and intelligence as public officials
which will live as long as the city itself.
The great park systems of our various
cities are purely the product Of the far
seeing ability of men who in the past
have been charged with the work Of es-
tablishing adequate public pleasure re-
sorts. They originated in the infancy of
the various cities which possess them
and at a time, in almost all cases, when
the difficulties were apparently as great
as those which now confront our own
park board. The present Is the time for
action. Ten years from now the park
will be entirely inadequate. The adjoin-
ing land will possess a degree of value
which will render it's acquisition a seri-
Gus public burden. If the people are to
have preserved to them the beauties and
advantages Of this beautiful resort steps
cannot be taken too soon to greatly en-
large it's boundaries.

END OF THE CENTURY.
Mr.. MarkOe Takes the Same View as
Does Mr.. AMMAN.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Fhe refutation Of G. L. Amman, attempt
ed by my excellent old friend, J. I. Beau
mont, as to the beginning Of the next CEN
tury, is wrong from beginning to end. The
whole error lies in the assumption that
the number indicating the year denotes
In every instance time past" It does no
sucn thing. True. in his proposition
he is applying the statement to wears
that have elapsed but, if his argument
is to have any application to the subject
discussed, he must mean that it applies
to the time in which we are now living
and his line Of fargument shows that this
was his intention. Now, the number tndi-
eating each year applies to each and ey-
cry part Of that year at the time that 1t
IS present as we'll as when it is passed
The year 1899, fn=which we are now living.
is the 1S99th year of the Christian era.
and not, as Mr.. Beaumont asserts it to
be, the concluding Tooth year of the pres
ent century. Take an illustration-one
not original with me, but Suggested by
my youngest son. Suppose my friend. Mr..
B., should undertake to eat 100 apples, of
which, for his stonfach's sake, we will
suppose he undertakes to eat one q day.
When he is at work on his first apple
do we not say, "He is at his first apple?"
When he is at his tenth, is not the one he
is engaged on the tenth? And when he Is
struggling with the ninetv-ninth, is $ 1t
not the ninetyznfnth that he Is at work
on? No says my friend 81 am on
my 100th'~ Take another illustration. Mr..
B. undertakes to ride century on the
wheel He passes over his first mile. The
number one certainly marks the one mile
which he has passed; but what is he at
now :? He is passing over his second mile.
When that is finished the=number two will
truly indicate the mile he has just com
pleted. When he has made his tenth mile
the figure ten will properly show how far
he has got. When he is traversing his
ninety ninth mile some one halls and
asks him how far he has got. He an
swers. .'This is called the ninety-ninth
stretch Fbut Is these numbers Indicate in
every instance, distance passed, am now
making my Tooth mi1e!"' Now, reversing
the count, it is evident that he must have
made, one mile before he started. One
more view of the subject:
The first year of the Christian era was
the year one; and, 1t continued to be the
first year and the year one until it was
finished. The year two was the second
year; the year three was the third year
the year ten was the tenth year; the year
100 was the Tooth year, or, in other words
the last year of the first century; and the
end of that year finished the century,
Now the year 101 was the first year of
the second century. Why, then, follow
ing this same system of reckoning, is not
the year 1899 the 1S99th year of the Chris
tian era, and not, as Mr.. Beaumont de-
right, therefore, when he declares that
the twentieth century opens with the year
1901. Q. E. D. ,t.+it William Markoe.

AUGUST | AT THE FARTHES1'
BY THAT TIME THE THIRTEENTH
REGIMENT WILL HAVE
REACHED FRISCO
So Predicts Assistant AdJt. Gen.
Ward I'm an Official COmmunica-
tion to Adjt. Gen. Lambert, Re-
celyed Yesterday.

There seems but little doubt as to the
immediate return Of the Thirteenth regi-
ment. Two volunteer regiments are al
ready on the way to the United States,
and the following letter, received by Adjt.
Gen. Lambert yesterday, puts the arrival
of the Thirteenth not later than the first
of August.
Washington, D. c., June 26.-Referring
to your Endorsement of the 18th instant,
forwarding the application of Mrs. J. B.
Dow for the discharge Of her sons, Cor
poral Louis F. Dow and Private John H.
Dow, both Of Company H, Thirteenth
Minnesota volunteer infantry, | have the
honor to inform you that all the volun-
teer troops now serving in the Philip
pine islands will be returned to the Unit
ed States at once for muster out, the
movement to that effect having already
commenced, and 1t is safe to assume that
they will all have arrived home by the
first Of August.
In this connection 1 desire to add that
would not accelerate the soldiers return
in advance of his regiment, but would de-
prive him of the two months extra pay
granted to volunteer soldiers who have
served on foreign station upon their final
muster out from the service, under act
of congress, approval Jan. Il, 1899, and it
is thought that in view of these facts
no further action in these cases will be
desired. Thomas Ward
Assistant Adjutant General
Gov. Lind stated yesterday that he was
somewhat in the dark as to the move
ments of the Thirteenth, since Col Ames
had been lost track of. He sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Lieut.. Col. Friedrich
yesterday, with view to ascertaining
just what arrangements, If any, were be-
ing made for the return of the regiment:
Report condition of regiment fully and
future movements so far as advised
Regarding the muster out of the regi-
ment Gov. Lind said that he had seen
Washington telegram in print to the eff
feet that all volunteers would be given
a second option on the muster out propo-
sition as soon as they landed at San Fran
cisco. If the Thirteenth wanted to be
