Not in Favor.

The action of the Minneapolis park
board, in attaching string to its deed
of the land at Minnehaha to the Unit
ed States for the construction of dam
and lock, does not meet the approval
of the government engineers.
The resolution of the board has been
returned to them, and is accompanied
by the recommendation of Maj. Lock
wood to the government, the gist of
which is that they want 1.-The whole
thing or nothing" The deed to the
land must be clear, or the government
will be forced to condemn the property,
and thus secure undisputed procession.

Referred to the white Caps.

An English clergyman came to
America, and in due time became a
citizen. While on pleasure trip
abroad his filial affection induced him
TO call on his poor mother, whom
he found an inmate of the Midway
workhouse. The poorhouse board in
timated that he ought to contribute
to his mothers maintenance. This
loving son, with the blood of freedom
coursing through his veins, stoutly
maintained that, being now an Amer
lean citizen, he had no legal RESPONSE
bility to waste his money in support
ing his mother.

finished with a narrow hem and put on with

Petty Crimks In Canada.
From the New York AseAipg Post.

From the New York A6fAipg Post.
Lovers Of pets via be glad to learn that
the new criminals code Of Canada greatly
increases the penalsy for theft Of domesti-
Gated animals. Whereas formerly the ex-
treme punishment was a fine of $40 over
and above the value of the animal stolen.
and months Imprisonment, 1t is proposed
to increase the fine 20 $50 and the maximum
Imprisonment to two years. except In case
the value Of the stulen animal is less than
$50. when the oldqpenalty is applied. Any
one who has seen fhe effect OF an inroad
of dog stealers and who knows the diff
Guilty of obtafninselegal redress will be glad
that this peculiarly mean and vexat1ous
form of theft is to- be severely dealt with
IN Canada. Oup own states might well
borrow this leaf from the new code across
the border.
A more striking innovation in this do
mnion code is provision for the fiogstng
OF burglars found in possession of weapons
or oHense. Formerly this penalty might
be applied when robbery was attended by
violence; now 1t is extended to cases in
which intended violence is to be presumed.
Inc penalty is aimed particularly against
the tramps who infest the country. For
these gentry mere imprisonment Is no de-
terrent to theft and violence. 1t Is believ-
ed, however. that they value their skins
and that their moral natures may best be
reached through their epidermiseS.
