THE SAME OLD .FOO1.

The Globe has already taken oc-
casion to declare the general conviction
that in matters of local political concern,
the Pioneer Press is dishonest and I'M
principled; and has always been so. TO
this statement must be added the other,
that that paper has also proven itself to
be foolish in every local campaign that
it has ever taken active part in since
it opposed the election of Col A. r.
Kiefer in 1890. Our promise now is that
in the campaign which is about to open,
our Republican morning contemporary
will prove itself to be as foolish as 1t
ever was in the past.
The Pioneer Press has done a good deal
in its day to make plain the danger which
was involved to the city of St Paul, by
the continuance of the feeble and corrupt
administration of the police department
which Mr.. Doran gave the city while he
was mayor, from 1896 to 1898. That paper
is now urging that this same Doran shall
again become mayor, Notwithstanding his
imbecile record in connection with the
problem of policing the city of St Paul
1t was Doran who discovered Goss and
made him chief of police, and either kept
him in that Office or caused him to be
kept there for four years. during which
this city was at the mercy Of thugs,
thieves and confidence men,
1t was Doran, while a member of the
charter commission, that refused to en-
trust Mayor Kiefer with the appoint
ment of the police commission, and 50
provided in the charter that the appoint
ments should not be made until Kiefers
term had expired. He was, then, cock
sure of his own nomination and election
as Kiefer's successor, and he laid his
plans accordingly.
1t is this same Doran that has preached
a non-partisan police commissioner since
he slipped up on having himself the ap-
pointment Of its members
1t is this same Doran who during the
recent session of the charter commission
log-roled and schemed his utmost to
abolish the police commission, so that ne
would again have chance of becoming
head of the police department.
The G o b e pledges itself to establish
before two weeks of the coming campaign
is over to the satisfaction of every IN
telligent person who reads these col
umns that the Pioneer Press in relation
to local political affairs, is not today, even
in the slightest degree, less dishonest I'M
principled or foolish than 1t has ever
shown itself to be in the past.
incidentally attention will be directed
to the shocking assault which is being
made on the public intelligence by our
contemporary in demanding that this
same Doran shall be reelected mayor.

The Juvenile Opera company Will appear
at the Metropolitan Opera house tonight
in the tuneful Japanese comic opera,
1.-THE Geisha;" this is one of Inc gems
of the company's repertory and in it the
clever children appear to the best ad-
vantage. The dainty lyrics, of this idyliic
opera are peculiarly adapted to the
youngsters voices and ,he performance
should be a delightful treat for young
and old. The Juvenile Opera company
has created a sensation and has proved
to be the most delightful surprise Of the
season at the Metropolitan; the operas
are put on, sung and acted in a manner
that would do credit to organizations of
matured artists, and many comedians
with famous names might learn much
from some of Pollard's midget fun-mak-
ers. The engagement will close with two
performances of la Mascote'' tomor-
row, the matinee being played at popular
prices.

first half of next week; the sale of seats

will have a most successful engagement.
A glance al the list of artists who will
be seen at the Grand the coming week,
Will bear out the statement made by
Manager Theo. L. Hays of that play
house that the organization is one Of
the strongest and highest salaried vaude-

MAN ON HORSEBACK.

Henry Watterson is prone to use a
megaphonic style of speech when he de-
clares himself on any important public
matter. By this means he always at
tracts attention. Generally those who
hear him are instructed as well as enter
tanned, but occasionally the judicious are
made to grieve by the intemperance Of
his statements.
The Kentucky editor was interviewed
in Washington the other day on the sub
ject of the rumored retirement of Gen.
Miles by the president, because the COM
mander of the army was opposed to the
chief executives desire to put the army
under the control of civilian politicians,
taking it away from trained fighting men.
Watterson says the head and front Of
Miles offending was that he thinks with
Dewey that Schley won the battle with
Cervera's fleet off Santiago. With this
ighoble preteXt to begin with the presi-
dent fairly leaped at the first chance

to which Gen. Miles entered his objec-

Tho intolerance which marked the
Dreyfus period in France is feared by the
Kentuckian. He thinks it is likely to be
repeated in the United States war depart
ment. He sees another imam on horse

believe that Roosevelt is riding down in
cowboy fashion many of the best tradi-
lions of the American people, and is set

rights and duties of others that may be-

national affairs. His conduct is danger

son that imperialism and imperialistic
methods have been defended for polit-

neglectful of the principles which alone
have made us great. Like vice. impe-

that to be hated needs but to be seen;

present day conditions would make the
time ripe for him.
