The chivalry Of the fifteenth century
is as pronounced today as it was when
gallant knights went forth, mounted on
chargers and armed with sword and lance
pledged to do battle for innocence and
beauty.
Society changes. The battle ak and

IN the Minneapolis Times urging that the
new Burlington road be extended from
Faribault to the west shore of Circle
Lake ana thence by direct line to Min
neapolis
AS an argument why the road Should
be Sc extended, 'tonc of tho heaviest
merchants of Faribault'' is quoted as fol-
lows: This part of Minnesota is one of
the most thickly settled of any part of
Minnesota. There are many towns and
villages closely built and the farmers
are exceedingly prosperous. For in

are one-eighth the sum of that city's.p
"A stranger would receive an impress
sion from the foregoing, and from the
map accompanying the article, that Fari-
bault lies on the outer edge of the rich
territory and that nothing between Fari-
bault and the cities is worth consider

desirable from Faribault standpoint.
put many a good Judgment is spoiled
by the reasons For instance, Faribaua
may be one-twentieth the size OF ST.
Paul, but its deposits are far from being
one-eighth of that city's. The latest Of

Population. Deposits. Per Capita
ST Paul -. $4,000 $22 JUO.OGO $134 plus
Faribault 1853 100000 III plus

From the above it appears that Fart

st Paul, and her deposits are exactly one
twentieth instead of one-eighth. North

Times article, nor referred to by the Far
1bault merchant but she may be ex-
cused for intruding herself when her ra-
ito of deposits to population is shown to
be better than either Faribault or St.

To the suggestion of Senator Platt

ure, Gov oden makes the following
encouraging response:
Il will not send In a message urging
such a bill, If possible, will remain
on friendly terms with Senator Platt, but
If such a bill comes to me l will veto it.
II the legislature cares to take the re-
Sponsibility of passing the bill over my

Considering the extraordinary efforts
put forward by the master of the New
York Republican machine to get rid of
Gov. Roosevelt by forcing him into an
acceptance of the vice presidential nom
ination, openly with a view to the Sc
lection Of Mr.. Odell as his successor, be-
cause Odell was regarded as the merest
man Of clay in the hands of the boss,
the outcome has something very drolI
about it.
The Gil C b e has already ventured the
intimation that the great Republican
boss of New York is little behind the
age, and that he might do wisely by re-
firing from control of the machine be-
fore he is openly forced to retire. The
second refusal of Odell to do his bid
ding, together with the utilization Of his
machine in the big city as a mere tender
to the anti-Tammany movement, makes
1t fairly plain that Senator Platt lags
superfuous on the stage of political bos-
sism.

THE DOWNFALL OF A Ross

The political situation in New York,
especially in connection with the recent
action of Mayor Van Wyck in appoint
ing Col NJ c. Murphy as head of the
metropolitan police force, with Capt.
Devery as his lieutenant, Is decidedly
interesting. 1t appears to involve the
utter downfall of Boss Plat from the
high eminence he has for so many years
enjoyed as the controlling force in tn.
government of the imperial state
When Devery was reinstated as a.
police administrator, there was a strong
revulsion of feeling against Tammanv
as the result. Under pressure of
hostile public sentiment, Platt brought
forward anew his state constabulary
measure, and announced his readiness to
put it through his legislature. The
scheme involved complete deprivation
of local police control, and provided that
the police of several of the largest cities
in the state should be turned over to a
state board to be administered on such
lines as would add to the patronage
grist mill of the boss and his machine.
Gov. Odell had, to the surprise of al
most all political partisans, declared his
unwillingness in the first instance to
sign any such measure; but, under the
cover of the public excitement created
by Devery's temperance virtually at
the head of the city police. the boss ap-
pears to have fallen into the error of be-
lieving that Gov. odell would at once
sign the enactment after the boss had
secured its passage by his creatures of
the Republican majority in the senate.
The sequel is instructive as well as

dency among American newspapers at

much higher civilization than it really
possesses Chinese civilization has some
very strong points, but more and still
greater weaknesses, and ON the whole, it
is barbarism, pure and simple, with a
