replaced by great scarce educated audi

No Caesaris1n in It.

Some Of the democratic journals show
symptoms Of tremulousness peculiar to
the ailment known as the asue, over the
announcement Of the organization Of the
general army staff. When the bill was
discussed In the last congress. the charge
was made that 1t was an unpatriotic at
tempt to Germanize our army and con-
of Hohenzollern despotism to destroy our
liberties. The argument that our milf
tary establishment had become too largo
and important to be properly managed by
the secretary Of war, was met by the re-
tort that there is no use keeping UP such
a large military establishment and that
the country ought to depend on it's mill
tia. 1t is to be feared that some OF these
opposing statesmen would like to have the
country go back to the defenseless condi.
lions which obtained in 1860.
The general star from patriotic and
business standpoint is precisely what the
nation needs. It Is body Of officers dis

seems certain that Mr.. Haugan's deficit
was not really increased by $4,000 on

Mr.. Lagerquist, a North Side high
school senior. passed the Annapolis ex-
aminations the other day without any pri-
vate tutoring or any special preparation.
Using the same kind Of argument that
the enemies Of the public schools use
whenever a high-school boy fails in his
naval or military academy examinations
and basing it on Mr.. Lagerquist's success,
we must conclude that the high schools
of Minnesota are doing their work per-
fectly. At any rate, after allowing for
Mr.. Lagerquist's native ability, there must
remain some credit for the. North high
school. -

ton between the bureaus OF thes depart
ment. There. have been also notable liz
stances Of sharp discord between the
commanding general Of the army and the
secretary OF war. General Sherman, for
instance. moved his headquarters to st.

with the secretary Of war. General Miles

They have to go back to active service in
the line after four years. and are only put
on the general staff on the ground Of
ability and no favoritism Is to She toll
Grated. The new arrangement will as
semh1e in the general staff all the best
and latest developments Of military sci
ence and practice Of war. If war breaks

is measure of economy and it brings

unpreparedness.
The chief Of staff in whom some of our
statesmen perceive the foreshadowing of
Caesar, Is subject to the president and
secretary Of war and to play Caesar he
would have to hypnotic these gentlemen,
all the bureau officials and army generals
and inferior officers and men. The or
ganizatton Of the general staff means a

Charter Questions.

At the meeting Of the charter commits
sion last night some opposition developed
to special elections, but on the whole most
of those who offered suggestions to the
commission favored such elections. The
only way in which municipal politics can
be separted from general politics to- the
extent it should be Is by means of separate
elections. 1t may not be possible then to
keep the local republican and democratic
organizations out Of municipal politics
but the voter who recognizes that there
is vast difference between voting the
state or national ticket labeled with his
party. name and the municipal ticket simil-
arly labeled will not be under such pres
sure as at general elections to vote for a
name instead of men and principles The
friends OF improved municipal government
must insist on separate municipal cleo
tions. Some OF the local republican pol
iticians oppose spring elections on the
ground that the democrats have habit
Of carrying spring elections. II they do,
it Is because they turn out, while many
republicans stay at home. We are Of the
opinion that the people who go to the
polls on election day are the ones who
should control the city, not those who
lack enough interest in municipal busi-
ness to express an opinion.
There is really about as much weight in
the arguments against seperate elections
as there lis sense in the Tribunes state
ment that 1t was feared to submit the
charter at special election because ut
was probable that only, those vitality In
terested in the charter would turn out to
the polls at all, and the charter might be
lost thru not securing the necessary tour-

Jew-baiting in MINNEAPOLIS.

Jew-baiting in Minneapolis.
The superintendent Of police exhibits
commendable zeal in his efforts to sup
press Jew batting In the southern portion
Of the city. Essentially there is no differ
ence between worrying and tormenting
Hebrew peddlers in Minneapolis and tor
turing and killing Jews in Kishinef.- In
both cases the trouble proceeds from
prejudice against the contemptuously
styled 'sheenies.''* :" -
In Kishinef there may possibly be, some
economic ground for hatred of the He
brews, because of the business superb
GRITTY and greater industry Of that people.
In Minneapolis there is no such ground for
interfering with the useful activities OF
the. poor peddlers who always attend
scrupulously to their own affairs and
never provoke or seek trouble. 1t is hard
to conceive of more inoffensive, harmless
persons than the Jewish peddlers Of this
city. They are the last persons in the
world to- be suspected of mourning the
righteous wrath Of, anyone. The truth
is, they are too quiet and unobtrusiye
They are so timtd and so lacking in self
assertion that they become easily the OBJ
jects Of the activity Of neighborhood bull
lies and gangs. They. almost literally obey
the scriptural injunction to turn the other
cheek. i 4, ~
1t Is a disgrace to the city and especial
= y to certain sections of II, that these poor
people cannot pursue their peaceful and
useful callings without being subjected to
insult, annoyance and physical violence.
Heretofore police superintendent have
not thought 1t worth their while to- give
special attention to these petty COM
plants. They are not petty, but, on the
contrary, very grave. It is no petty mat
ter when a peaceful citizen, minding his
own affairs, Is kept by unlawful violence
or interference Of other kinds from at
tending to his business. It Is to be hoped
that the police will be able to appre-
bend a few Of the hoodlums and that the
courts will make such examples Of them
that it will be many a day before any
good citizen, whatever his race or how
ever humble his calling. shall be sub
jected to insult and assault in Minneapo-
lis for no other reason than that he is
humble and Of another race and engaged

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
A Brave Motorman.

To the Editor of The Journal.
When we after the first feelings of
horror and establishment have subsidized,
think over the disaster of last week at
the Hennepin avenue bridge, it seems
marvellous that the passengers in the train
below should escape without anyone re-
ceiying scarcely as much as a bruise; but
even more SO that an electric car
thronged with passengers, should luckily
get over the sWaying bridge the very
instant before it caved In. A number OF
persons thus almost miraculously, 1t
would seem, escaped immediate death or:
possibly injuries that might have Dis:
abled them for life. ~ =.
The motorman in charge Of the carssays
that from his post he noticed that the
structure swayed, and, without a seconds,
elaboration, he threw the current wide
open and dashed over. The saving or
these lives was therefore due to .: no
miracle. but entirely to the cool and brave,
act Of the man in charge. Now, those
acquainted with the service say that per-
haps IN nine cases out Of ten the action
of the motorman might have been the
very opposite, and, had it been, that car
would have been in. the crash as surely
as it escaped. Had there been at the
motor a man less acquainted with his
position, an extra man, or one Of excitable
disposition, the first thing to suggest
Itself on finding himself on a swaying
structure with a NUMBER OF human lives
in charge, would have been hesitation,
and he might either have stopped the car
entirely or slackened the speed so as to
relieve the strain. *sa5 ~ rs
It seems strange. especially as the car
is said to have been crowded, mostly by
business and well-to-do people, that no
one has SO far thought Of showing his
appreciation of the motornan who by one
stroke saved the situation. Persons have
been literally rewarded for deeds not
more daring and productive OF less good.
In one way 1t Is not really SO strange
that this has not suggested itself to any
body as at first sight the escape indeed
seems SO marvellous as to be the work OF
fortune; but as the first Impressions wear
away and 1t is realized that it was no
miracle, but the act of a cool brain, ac-
companied by a stroke Of the arm that
saved many persons from lifelong suffer-
ing, many homes from sudden sorrow, and
Minneapolis from what might have been,
one Of the worst disasters in her annals,
would it not be fitting for those nearest
concerned to show their appreciation of
the workman.
