TO THE POLICE COMMISSION

The people Of this city by decisive
vote at the last city election determined
to invest a board of police to be appoint
ed by the existing mayor with absolute
control and responsibility in the matter
of police appointments and removals.
That board viii be appointed today by
Mayor Smith. The names of his ap-
pointees have already been announced
by the mayor, and the selections have
been received with every indication Of
public approval. There has been but one
voice heard in disapproval, and that is
universally recognized as the voice of
malignant, rancorous partisanism.
The law is very clear. The new police
commission will be held to the strictest
responsibility for the efficiency of our
local police department, and the mayor
In turn win be held to an equally rigid
accountability for the official conduct Of
the commission. The local Democracy
must bear the odium of any failure on
the part of the new police executive to
radically reform the existing department,
to infuse into it some intelligent sense
of its Importance to the peace and well
being of the community, and to put an
end to,the incompetence and corruption
which at this moment pervade the entire
force
To do these things the G o b believes
that the police commission must cut into
the very heart of existing police evils. 1t
is empowered to remove every man it be-
Heves should be removed for the eff
cheney of the service. No removal must
be made without cause; but the cause
will be found close at hand for the re-
moval of those at the top, as well as at
the bottom. of the system, whose miscon-
duct has made the department the pub
lie abortion that it Is
If a Republican mayor had been elected
Republicans exclusively would be ap-
pointed to places made vacant on the
force by the action of the commission.
Everybody knows this. We sincerely
hope that the members of the new COM
mission will have equally the courage of
their political convictions and associa-
tions, and that when two equally good
men present themselves for appointment
the preference will be given to the Demo
crat in every such case. In this way. the
Clio b e believes, the civil service idea
can best be put in operation. and the
future efficiency of the st. Paul police
department be most securely placed be-
yond all possible question.

LIFE IN WASHINGTON.

senator from Montana. one from Utah,

these sixty are lawyers and the legal
profession IS just about as well represent.
ed among the Democrats as among the
Republicans. OF the four Populists two
are lawyers.
1t may be that the Democrats and Pop
ulfsts in the senate did not discover until
the last days Of the session that the way
to get Mr.. Hanna out of his chair and
upon his feet was to tread on his toes
by a personal remark or take a shot
at the Republican party as managed by
him. Anyhow, they did not succeed in
such schemes, If they had planned them
until almost the closing hours. During
most Of the session Mr.. Hanna sat at
case in his chair in the last row and just
in front of big screen. Alleged deals
with corporations for campaign funds
caused him to get up and talk vigor-
ously, but Pettigrews reference to re-
ports of bribery at the time of Hanna's 8
election to the senate aroused MIN TO
the last degree allowed by the dignity OF
the nations highest legislative body.
The walls reverberated with his descrip-
ton of Pettigrew's political arguments
and attacks and nobody doubted for an
instant but the chairman of the Repub-
Ican national COMMITTEES meant what he
said when he declared he was ready to
take turns with Pettigrew in the senate
in telling what they knew about each
others personal history.
When the presidents list of appoint
ments for the supreme court of Porto
Rico We're announced it was observed
that all the names, including that Of the
chief justice, were Spanish or Porto
ltican except one, Louis Sulzbacher. Evil
IDENTIFY he was not a native Of the island
or of Spain. Mr.. Sulzbacher is a Hebrew
lawyer and scholar of Kansas City and
New Mexico. He used to be in partner
ship with Stephen B. Ell1ins in New
Mexico, and in the course of his profess
sional career in the Southwest Mr.. Sulz-
bacher became an authority on old Span
ish law He learned the language and
thus added to accomplishments he had
got at universities in Europe. He is
sturdy, gray-haired man Of medium size
and a number of persons in Washington
who knew him say his appointment con-
yinces them of the presidents excellent
judgment Mr.. SUlzbacher is well-to-do,
and the fact that he has declined sew
eral federal offices indicates that he is
going to Porto Rico for patriotic reasons.

WORTHY OF DAVID HARUM.
A Bit of Horse Trading Which Took

Bit of Horse Trading Which Took
Place in the South.
David Harum was a good horse trader
but a recent transaction in horseflesh
which was made by well known
Memphian shows that there are others
who know how to get the long end of a
horse trade, says the Memphis CONNER
cial. Several weeks ago this Memphis
man saw a fine buggy horse which he
thought he wanted. He located the own
er and asked the price. "One fifty" was
the reply After looking the animal over
closely and trying her speed he con-
cluded it was good trade, and without
more ado wrote a check for the amount
The next day he found that the mare was
as blind as a bat, but this did not hinder
her speed nor detract from her general
appearance. He drove the animal for
several weeks and succeeded in attracting
the admiration Of another lover of horse
flesh, who made a proposal to purchase
well" said the Memphian, 81 gave
one fifty for her, but I will let you have
her for one sixty-fve."
The prospective owner looked the ami
NAL over and concluded he had a bargain
He paid over the money and took the
mare When the animal was embarrassed
the first thing she did was to run against
a post, and then by way of emphasizing
the TACT that she was blind fell over a
barrel The next day the buyer came
back to the Memphian with blood in his
eye.
Colonel, you know the mare you sold
me?" he began. ''Well. she's stone blind !"
Il know it" replied the colonel, with an
easy air
you didn't say anything to me about
1t, said the purchaser, his face .redden-
ing with anger.
''Well, I'll tell YOU" replied the colonel;
that fellow who sold her to me didn't
tell me about it, and 1 just concluded that
he didn't want it known"

SMART SHORT STORIES.

Sir Henry Irving is known to be very
generous man, and would be robbed right
and left, it is said, If it were not for the
protection afforded by his business man
ager. Mr.. Bran Stoker. For instance,
says a London correspondent Of the St
Louis Glebe-Demoerat, irving recently re-
ceived a letter from man in Paris who
told Of his marked likeness to the great
actor.
At first, the stranger wrote it was a
pleasure to be taken for SO distinguished
man, but in time the novelty wore off,
| and he had been both annoyed and embar-
rassed by the continual necessity of ex-
planning that he was he, and not Sir Hen
ry. The letter concluded by mentioning
that E5 or e10 would be of considerable
service to him. Would Sir Henry remit
by return of post, and thus in a measure
atone for the annoyance to which the
likeness had subjected him?
Irving happened to read the letter to
Bran Stoker, and then said that lie
thought he must send the man something,
not e10 perhaps, but
IF yen let me, I'll answer the letter
for you,' said Mr.. Stoker, who has an
Irish accent to match his Irish wit A
few days later Irving said:
You answered that letter, Mr. Stol1-
err"
Il did, then, and wrote him advice of a
friendly nature, besides the money I sent
to him.
You sent him money. ha! I hope it
was enough
" Twas, then" murmured Stoker. BEAM
ing. "and the letter to boot Shall 1 tell
you what was in it? Well, then, it was

Winston Churchill, the son of the late
Randolph Churchill. is a young man of
extraordinary energy and assurance, as
his recent adventures in the TranSvaal
amply attest He is also possessed of an
innate hunaor, which manifests itself oc-
casionally, to the entertainment and de-
light of his friends, says the Golden Pen
ny Magazine. Some time ago Mr. Churchill
and his comrades-in-arms met at a sup
per. Among the assembled officers was a
very pompous, elf-opinionated major,
whose rank commanded for him a re-
spectful hearing, but whose habit of in
structing his brethren In matters military,
both in and out Of season. made him rath-
er unpopular. Churchill and the aggres-
sive major sat side by side at the table.
and the martial pOtentate voiced his
opinions in his usual manner. Churchill

RUSSIA IN CHINA.

The one nation claiming territorial su-
premacy in China which. in the nature
of the present situation, is in position
to act independently in protecting public
property against the Boxer uprising, is
Russia. Russian advancement into China
is In great measure the result of natural
expansion. Her onward career to the
Amur river has been in progress for fifty
years and over. Manchuria was destined
inevitably to become Russian territory
That truth has been apparent to China
and the rest Of the world for many years.

1t was Representative McCleary who the

toasts on the United States. Here is the
first:

on the south by Mexico and the Gulf of
Mexico, on the east by the Atlantic, and
on the west by the Pacific"
The second, a little more expansive, is
as follows:
Here is to the United States, bounded
on the north by the north pole, on the
south by the south pole. on the east by
the rising OF, the sun, and on the west by
the setting thereof"
And the third reaches this climax:

the south by the procession of the equi-
noxes, on the east by primevat chaos.

Thanks to Lodge.

Washington Times.
BY affronting Germany and it's emperor,
and insinuating that the latter is preparing
a navy to come over here and fight US,
Mr.. Lodge has created a storm of lndig
nation among the people it was his duty
as Mckinley, Hanna, and trust man
to please and cajole. His chief will have
him to thank for the loss of perhaps half
a million good votes next November. But
a small consideration like that will never
act as a snuffer upon the candle light Of
Lodge. AS likely as not he has a speech
in preparation now denouncing the Irish
and Italians. In 1892 the Democratic
party owed much to his political vigor
and acumen. He is a hopeful quantity

Hns Forty-one children.

Chicago Tribune
When the census enumerator gets
around to old Levi Bresson, of North
Foster, R. l., he will probably find a rec
ord breaker.
How many children?" he will ask
''F'Crty-one," Bresson will answer
'thirty-two Of whom are living"
How many grandchildren? ?"
Il don't know. I kept track of them
until had 100. How many more there
are is beyond me-"
Bresson is a French Canadian He ran
away from home to get married and set
tied in Connecticut. There he lived until
1862 when he enlisted in the army. All
his life he has worked hard at manual
labor, and still is strong and healthy. AS
one indication of what the care of such
large family means, it Is stated that
at one time there was no less than six
teen of the Bresson children sick with the
measles. Among his children are one set
of triplets and four of twins.

To Command FORTUNE.

Philadelphia Record.
Fortune is coy and flekle, and must be
wooed in a masterful fashion. One must
not depend upon the caprices of that
goddess, but rather command her obedi-
ence.
To the business man this is not impos-
sibe; indeed, 1t Is not difficult With the
assistance of advertising Fortune may be
made to smile upon the persistent mer-
chant and bring him the success he de-
serves.

Every other nation of Europe now laying
claim to Chinese territory is in a sense
an invader of territory TO which 1t has
no natural claim whatever Trade lies at
the bottom of every such claim. In the
case of Russia the movement of the Cos
sack population has been steadily toward
the Orient, in the same sense and as the
result Of the same propelling force which
drove the American riflemen Of the colo
NAL era across the Alleghenies, and made
complete their work as native pioneers in
this generation through the construction
of our transcontinentaI railroad systems.
1t is right that Russia should take the
initiative No other nation laying claim
to Chinese territory can do so with as
little chance of resulting complications.
The reservation stated by Russian dip!o"
mats that there is no thought entertained
of interfering with the cooperation ex-
pected to prevail among the powers will
remove all serious danger of exception be-
ing taken to such Independent action.
That action, prompt and decisive, is nee
essary to protect the property and person
al rights of foreign residents there is now
no doubt whatever. That it is also needed
or soon may be for the protection of the
respective territorial claims of the powers
concerned seems equally plain. unless the
Boxer rising is greatly exaggerated.
The duty of our representatives in China
in the existing situation or in any situa
ton at all likely to arise out OF it, is to
confine themselves absolutely to the pro-
lection Of American interests There must
be no concert of action with other pow
ers whatever, save in so far as it may
be made necessary by the insufficehcy OF
our resources to accomplish the requi.ed
work, or unless the interests of humanity
itself imperatively demand such co-opera-
ton.
We have no political or territorial In
terests to protect, and we must not put
ourselves in the position of having such
interests or of being ready to aid other
nations in protecting those which they
may have. We cannot afford to incur the
hostility of existing Chinese authority ,"
of that element of the population which
intelligently objects to the parceling out
of their marvellous country among for
eigners. We are in China for trade, and
for no other purpose, and, unless We are
to carry our imperialistic projects to their
seemingly logical fuiflIment there is no
pretense which we can put forward that
territorial possession or jurisdiction is nee
essary to the promotion of our trade with
the Chinese people.
