CHIEE GETCHELL,S INNUENDO.


Chief Of Police Getchell, on having his
attention called to the recent numerous
robberies and attempted robberies of GER
tain religious institutions in this city, is
reported in the public press to have said:
"Humph! Another election dodge"
This language is taken from the report
of the st. Paul Dispatch. 1t is not very
plain what the CHIEF means. He has not
sought to be frank in his quoted state
ment. There is something in reserve,
something which he hints at without hav-
ing the courage or the certainty to state
plainly.
What does Chief Getchell mean? He
does not believe that the crimes report
ed were really committed, or, at least,
he processes not to believe they were.
His language must be construed to mean
that some political enemy of the admins
tration of WHICH he is member has for
political effect caused the Visitation con-
vent and the institution of the Little Sis
ters Of the Poor to be broken into and
their property either injured or stolen, or
as meaning that sons body in charge of
those institutions committed, abetted or
suffered the acts complained of with a
view of prejudicing Mayor Klefer's admin
istraton and influencing the existing cleo
ton campaign unfavorably to the Repub-
lican cause.
Now, which of these things is 1t that
Chief Getchell meant to convey, or did
he mean to convey either? If he did not
mean to convey either, what Gid he mean?
The public has a right to know. II these
offenses were not committed, his duty to
the public as well as to his own depart
plain. We ought TO know what his proof
is that no offense at all was committed
or that it was mere conspiracy to de-
ceive the public into the belief that they
We're really committed
Does Chief Getcheu reflect that he is
placed IN the position of having cast an
infamous reflection on the management of
the institutions mentioned, if not on their
of the most contemplate and unprincl-
pied tricks known In the art of low poll
tics? He stands to Vindicate himself by
proving that the offenses charged were
not really committed or to- disown the
language imputed to him. He cannot
leave the matter in its present shape.
The statement quoted is virtually his first
official statement To justify his imputa-
ton that the entire matter was a mere
political trick he must be in a position
to know the origin of the acts which
were performed to deceive the public and
bring his department into further dis
repute Who, then, did he have in mind
as having planned and executed the in
famous raids made on those excellent in
stitutions? What proof has he, either in
the circumstances themselves or outside
of them, either that no offense was COM
mitted at ali. or that it was all q mere
blind? Is he after all merely trying to
protect himself his department and his
administration against the certainty of
failure in securing any trace of the Of
tenders?
If Chief Getchell is wiling to have the
matter rest with the cowardly innuendo
which he has dealt IN, the assumption is
warranted that he is himself guilty Of a
low political dodge, provided he used the
| language imputed to him by a RepubIi-
can paper and quoted above.

MUSIC AND THE STAGE.
GRAND.

GRAND
THE Evil Eye" which opened at :he
Grand last evening amply fulflls Its prom
1ses. 1t Is mammoth spectacular ag-
gregation of up-to-date speciaItIes. Of
course modern specially may be good,
bad or Indifferent, altogether dependent
upon the point of view. There are some
people off the stage who cannot sing the
old songs, and depend upon the inspira-
ton of the new. There are others who
cling to old-time memories of the eccen-
trio speciaities Of Dan Bryant, Billy Man
ming, Geo, L. Fox, the Revells, John E.
Owens and others. 1t Is sufficient to say
that modern inventions, especially along
electrical lines. have created new school
of spectacular dramatic art.
1t is to this school that Charles RI.
Yale's THE Evil Eye" belongs. All of
the scenes and incidents in three acts are
new and pleasing. Much of the scenery
is elaborate, especially that of the last
act, Castle Drachenfels, and the opening
scene of the Holland village The dis
appearing room effect at the close Of the
second act is not so particularly novel as
1t is laughable from it's absuTdity.
There is no doubt about the quality of
the people who go to make up the big
company of THE Evil Eye" For pure
artistic effect perhaps first honors should
be accorded the octette Of charming &C.
centriques known as the ''Phaseys,"
from the Alhambra, London. They ap-
pear in each act, in the first act as
wooden shoe dancers of surprising agil-
fty, in the second in stirring and animat-
ed changes. Bobby Rosaire and Tommy
Elliott, as Md and Ned, bring an un-
usual quantity of acrobatic mirth and
excellent knock-about work to his most
popular production. Much OF their con-
tribution is along the same lines as that

the offices. But he is none the less re-
sponsible before God and man Tor what
has taken place. He wanted 'you fell
lows" to do something to aid In retain
ing the offices which would add effective
ness to his calling out of the state militia.
According to the witness. that something
was to create riot and turmoil in the leg
islative chambers of the state. When this
suggestion was made the conspiracy was
being Matched to kill off enough Demo-
cratic legislators to change the politics
of the majority of the legislative body.
But events were about that time crowd
ing fast on each other in Kentucky poll
ties, and the mere plan of riot in the leg
islature and the more elaborate and ex-
tensive undertaking Of changing ma
jority into a minority by the aid of the
gent demand for the removal OF the pin
cipal in the movement to wrest the state
from Republican control. And so Senator
Goebel was sent to his last account with
as little compunction as legislator
might be bribed or martial law declared.
Looked at in the light of the revela-
tions thus made by Golden, what pitiful
spectacle do the Republican editorial
apologists of the murder of Mr.. Goebel
now present. They told us here and else
where that Goebers blood was on his own
head; that his life Of lawlessness had beea
brought TO fitting end. More than one
of them quoted Scripture to fully extern
uate the murder. All of them agreed that
neither the Republican party nor the Re-
publican politicians of Kentucky were in
the slightest measure responsible for
what had taken place.
If the control Of the government of
Kentucky should remain with this band
Of murderous scoundres, as the result
of the decision of the court of appeals,
every Iaw-abiding American will griev-
ously regret the event. however will
lingly he may concur In 1t.

IRREGULAR MILKING

The Oregon Agricultural college and

The experiment was as follows:
Six cows were divided into two lots,
such that the average age Of the cows
and period OF lactation, also total yield
Of milk was practically the same for
each lot. The two lots received the
same kind and amount of feed, but the
cows in lot were fed snd MIXED reg
ulsrly st 2 80 p. NJ. and 5 80 A. NJ, while
those in lot were fed and MIXED At
hours ranging from 20 A. n. and 10
6P.M. A comparison OF the milk yield

meut, with the three preceding, showed

suming that the cows In lot would

they had the same treatment, which Is
