THE DOWNTOWN BALL PARK.

The baseball fan is worthy of consideration, not
alone because OF the noise he makes in the community,
but by reason of the fact that his is a numerous family,
each member holding to the sport as the one absolutely
American institution that remains to us, and declaring
that he will, if need be, die in defense of the game-or
have the umpire killed. It is, therefore, obvious that the
baseball enthusiast is a person entitled to much consider
alton and that his comfort is to be desired.
These things should enter into the question that is
to be answered by the board Of aldermen in determining
whether or not the downtown ball park is to be per
mitted.
There are other, and more substantial matters to be
considered, especially the rights and wishes of the people
living and owning property in the neighborhood of the
proposed park. 1t is obvious from the discussion that
has already been had that there is a wide divergence of
opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a park
down town. The property interests are divided: the
churches are by no means at one and these differences
must be carefully weighed.
But the aldermen might keep before them the fact
that IN baseball hundreds OF busy men find the only re-
taxation they have during the summer months. Time is
OF the essence of their contract to make a living. If they
are compelled to ride a long distance to see a ball game
they are very likely to be deprived of their chance for
1ndulglng in the pleasurable sensation of lifting I'D
their voices and stimulating the circulation by giving
the diamond. These men form a considerable and re-
spectacle element of the community, and they are, of
course, a unit for the downtown park.
II the rights of the property owners can be con-
served and the ordinances observed there can be no other
possible objection to the downtown park. And its es-
Enlistment would undoubtedly meet with the approval
OF that numerous class that would support the national
game If it did not make too great demands on the time
of the individual.

THE COURT.

Juveniles with a criminal tendency have less chance
for reform after their Peccadillos have been made the
subjects of public and open reprobation. The disgrace
attaching to an arrest, incarceration in the police station
and a public trial has hardened more boys and made
more criminals than anything else in the criminal-mak-
ing machinery of these days. The establishment of a
juvenile court and the assurances from the judges of
the municipal court of this city that the Nolan law,
be carried out to the letter, is a hopeful sign of the times
and will do much to reduce evil effects of a public trial
on the young.
In Chicago the juvenile court has become an institu-
ton OF recognized value. 1t has been demonstrated that it
has a tendency to soften the boy to an appreciation of
the fact that the law does not hold him an outcast, but
that the court and the officers of the law are interested in
his reformation rather than his punishment.
Few children under the age of sixteen are so hard
ened as not to be amenable to the better influences of
gentle treatment. 1t is also certain that there are few
who do not regard themselves as ill-treated when they
are held up to the sCorn of their fellows and made to
teel the degradation OF being placed in the prisoners
dock. The juvenile court, which is to be conducted with
such privacy as is possible in the administration of JUS
t1ce, m1nlmlzes the sense of public disgrace that is so
disastrous to the young. If the offender be incorrigibIe
the juvenile court has all the powers of the other court
to inh1ct punishment, but if there be a chance to turn
the cu1prit to a better idea of life that chance is to be
made the most of. Consideration for the juvenile often
der may, in some cases, result in reformation. Therefore
the Juvenile court must be a good thing even if viewed
narrowly on the ground of economy, for the reformation
OF a boy IS much less expensive than the watching and
maintaining of an adult criminal.

ASSESSING THE TAXES.

county Assessor Conley will be his own deputy for
the purpose Of making the assessment in the town Of
Rose, Ramsey county. The people of that town are 70
De congratulated upon the assurance that their assess
ment will be wisely and fairly made, and upon their de-
hverance from the factious political indictments who
sought to control the levying of the assessment.
There has been, in years past, altogether too much
Iockeylng tor the privilege of making the assessment in
the several districts and too much of political manipula-
ton for the control of the right to fix the values. That
Assessor ConIey has had the courage of his convictions in
the matter OF the ROSetOWn assessment. as well as in other
matters affecting the administration of his important of
hce cannot fail to be gratifying.
The burden of taxation is felt by those who nav he
cause OF the number of those who, by favoritism or
through personal dishonesty, escape paying taxes alto
gether. A favorite way for the tax dodger to operate in
years past has been by exerting influences to bring about
the selection of a friendly district assessor. In the
course OF his administration of his office Assessor Con1ev
mas found It necessary to release members of his force
who sought to favor their friends. The county assessor
1eeIs that the burden of taxation is felt by those who
pay and he is after the tax-dodger. One of the hest
methods OF getting the tax-dodging individual On tba
rolls IS to see to it that he has no friends at court. And
this method IS being r~eligious1y followed now. If the
practice IS persevered in it is within the range of human
nope that the taX-dodger may become rare-at least
much more rare than he is now.
In taking over the work of assessing Rosetou, Az
SCISSOR Conley gives the people of that town assurance
that they Will be justly assessed. He has no fish r. fru
and no debt to pay. If there be tax-dodgers in Rose
toWn-and where are they not?-they are in a had -
for they will be made to settle.

CLUB is TRUMP
OVER A SPADE
A. E. Higley Breaks Neigh
Dor OMalley'S Nose and
Gives Himself Up.

After striking Patrick ]. O'Malley,
nnd breaking his nose, in self-defense,
as he says, A. E. Higley picked up
O'MalIey, took him into the latter's
house, summoned a physician and then
walked to the central police station
and surrendered himself.
Higley and O'Malley are neXt-door
neighbors, occupying a double house at
232 and 228 Nash street. Yesterday
afternoon, towards evening, while Hig-
ley was in the back yard, O'MaIley
came out and commenced to talk to
Higley. Higley says that O'Malley
year ago, when they had a family
squabble. O'MalIey hen attacked
Higley and was obliged to sign a bond
to keep the peace.
Ever since, Higley says, on all occa-
siOns, O'Malley has shown his i'll feeling
towards him.
yesterday afternoon I was working
in the back yard, picking some planks
over" said Higley, when OMaIley
use abusive language to me, calling
me names. 1 paid no attention to him,
and he grew more violent. He had in
his hand a spade and kept walking up
and down his side of the fence. Final
ly he ran out the back gate and into
my yard, n IOWdrQS me with the
shovel uplifted. When he approached
me I seized a club, and as he was
about to strike with The shovel, hit
him on the nose with the club"
O'Malley vas felled by the blow.
Higley says he vas alarmed, as he had
not intended to strike so hard. Higley
then called some boys, and with their
assistance carried O'Malley into his
house. Higley then called DR.. SimSn,
who administered relief. Then Higley
notified the policeman on the bea and
told the officer to investigate. The po-
liceman went to the house.
Later Higley took the shovel and
walked down to the central police sta
ton, where he told his story and was
placed under arrest. He was obliged
to stay at the station over night, the
bail being placed at 500.
Late in the evening it was found
that the injury to O'Malley's nose was
so grave as to require an operation,
and he was then removed to the city
hospital. where it was discovered that
he had sustained a compond fracture Of
the nose. The bridge is broken and
the bones were exposed to view. It
is thought that it will be necessary to
construct an artificial bridge, and that
O'Mailey's face will be permanently
disfigured.
O'Malley is employed in the Burling-
ton coach yards and Higley is q team
n Both have families.

ORIGIN OF A
PROVES A MYSTERY
Fire Starts in a Trunk Containing
Costly Garments and Money.

A mysterious fire broke out last night
in a trunk in the attic of a house at
Ala Edmund street, occupied by p. B.
McGrath. The family assembled in the
room of the lower floor and was en-
tirely unaware of a fire raging in the
attic until the smell of smoke was no
ticed.
1t is supposed that the fire orig
mated in the trunk, but how it could
have been ignited is a mystery. The
trunk was entirely burned and the at
tic and roof of the house were dam
aged. Several valuable garments were
stored in the trunk, and these, with a
sum of money, were DESTROYED.
