SHOOTING UP THE BANDITS.

For the purpose of exemplifying the
fact that there is no longer anything of
the woolly West in this part of the
West, a sheriff in Wright county went
out the other day and cleaned up a
gang of bad men who evidently pro-
story of which was told in graphic de-
tail by staff correspondent in yester-
day mornings Globe.
The time has gone by when it might
be possible for bad men to, come into
Minnesota and terrorize a community.
1t has been shown that the men in this
particular gang were tough enough, but
the event goes to show that their ex-
ceeding toughness did not impress the
natives at all.
By the killing of one of the men and
the wounding of every member of the
gang, 1t was demonstrated that the
men of Wright county shoot as
straight as the pioneers did, Nand are
imbued with the proper spirit There is
no room in the West for another James
gang, and the men who believe that
there is are foolish for moving out Of
Indiana.
The story told in detail in yester-
days Clio b e-and not in any other
paper in the Northwest-was vital in
the lesson it carries, as well as in it's
interest for Globe readers The
scoop" was something with which
The Glob e may we'll be satisfied,
and should be told throughout the
country.

LOST In CHICAGO.
Tommy.

When Sir Thomas Upton babe adieu
ed to the West with the idea that he
was going to rest UP bit he was
misguided man. He has been in Chi
cago for a couple of weeks and now
he is quite ready to go back to his life
work of peddling tea and building or
racing cup challengers for regular
thing. For they have been giving him
a run for the money he invested in the
Shamrock since he reached the Windy
City.
He had not been in town ten hours
before the Chicagoans fed him a mess
of provender that put his pancreas out
of commission. The reporters an
nounced with some show of feeling
that Sir Thomas was due for -Davy
Jones locker. Having digested a few
defeats in cup races Sir Thomas event
ually refused to succumb to mere
feed of green corn and recovered in
spite of the reporters. He had barely
recovered when he was shown to have
committed himself to celibacy in the
enthusiasm of his convalescence and
that he could not accept any of the
offers of marriage that have been
made him. He escaped the wrath
that surged about him by repudiating
the bachelors and standing pat on his
record.
Then he was given the polygamist
nomination for ambassador to Wash
ington-which was by way Of rubbing
the bachelor club story in. He de-
clined before the ants could hold a
session on him.
The elimination of Sir Thomas
holiday came Friday when he went
out automobiling in Chicago and got
lost in the jungles that intervene be-
tween the southern boundaries of the
town and the lair of the beast who
dwells within walking distance of the
asphalt. He was found at Hammond,
Ind, and taken back to Chicago to be
fed.
Very naturally Sir Thomas is tired
of the town and of the West. He
signs for the purlieus of Piccadilly.
The conversation of AIRY and 'Arriet,
he admits, will be as music to his ears
when he is permitted to get away
from the West End and HE him to the
vicinage of 'Ampstead 'Eath.
1t is only fair to let him go without
further trouble. He lost a race and
much money; he lost his reputation
as manageable man very nearly;
he just escaped being compelled to
take losing nomination for the am
bassadorship and then he lost himself.
That ought to hold Sir Thomas for a
while and the best thing his press
agent can do now is to withdraw him
for year or two. We are getting
mutually tired of each other.

Sooner or later large number of them
will be converted to 1t, and in the
meantime it will stand as a center of
attraction around which may be gath
cred in formal cohesion the now
loosely aggregated elements of the.
Conservative party. AS present uni
fer and a possible sign of future sue
cess, the issue was not badly chosen.
The general opinion, we think, Will
be that these leaders of English Con-
servatism are not martyrs but pract1-
cal politicians. Some hazy idea there
may be in their minds that the prin-
ciple of a protective tariff has more
virtue than has been claimed for it,
and might possibly confer upon Great
Britain some minor benefit to remedy
its admitted evils. We grant them the
benefit of the doubt. But we do not
admit the possibility that men as in
telligent as these, as we'll versed in the
conditions of English life and as ca
pable of tracing cause and effect can
think that a country situated as Eng
land is, dependent for its very exist
ence upon the products of foreign
lands, and for its markets upon the
good will of outside customers, could
either make and retain friends or sub
due or brighten enemies by tariff acts.
1t is always unfortunate when con-
fusion is wrought with moral issues by
political expediency. The principle of
protective tariff is above all things
moral issue. Considered as an eco
nomic measure, it is possible to befool
the people and to make plausible ar
gument in its behalf. Considered as a
point of morality, its defenses fall fiat.
No government, any more than an in
dividual, has right to take from one
man the products of his labor in order
that it may, with these, enrich another.
That which is wrong in the individual
case can never be made right in the
general.
The campaign begun in Great Brit
ain, therefore, is a campaign not only
against established custom and fixed
ideas, but against public morality. It
is doubly unfortunate. We do not
think that it can ever make Roadway
against the obvious practical and COM
mon sense considerations which de-
mand for the British people continued
adherence to the principles of free
trade. We can see it, as a party catch
word and a taking theme with the
demagogue, the parent of many mis-
fortunes for the empire.

THE USES OF THE INJUNCTION.

James Povlock = good mouth filling
name-has asked an Indiana judge. to
issue an injunction restraining one
Hamilton Hoover from the use of pro-
fame language. The Indiana Judge is
inclined to listen to the prayer of Mr..
Povlock and shut the face of Hoover
by process of law. We doubt if the in
junction is the proper or the best rem.
edy available.
Povlock has children and these chill
dren stir Hoover to profanity on occa-
sion. Unlike the heroes of Posey coun-
ty with whom we have become famil-
iarized through the efforts of G. AIDE
and B. Harrington, Hoover does not ex-
plode with Gosh ding it," and like ex-
pletives. Indeed the character of his
language when he is what Mr.. Tarking-
ton would describe as "riled" is such as
to quite exclude it from print. He is
by no means the yea, forsooth knave"
who earned the scorn of the late Mr..
Shakespeare. He INDUCES in good
round oaths. He has cussed the Pow

isis Hopkins" at the Grand.

Rose Melville is here once more with
the same quaint and queer mixture of
vaudeville and melodrama and its pos
sibilities of better things. There are
some of the finer touches in isis Hop
kins,' but they too few.
The play is quite familiar to the
average patron of the theater and
comment upon it is superfluous. There
were people present last night who
knew the piece by heart, apparently,
and who still exhibited a keen interest
and found much pleasure in the per-
Torrance.
Miss Melville gives the same clever
impersonation of the gawky HoOsier
girl, whose philosophy is There amt
no sense in doin' nuthin' for nobody
what never done nothin' for you" The
personnel of the supporting cast is
about the same as last season and the
various roles are played satisfactorily.
Edward Hume as Bart Varnum is,
as formerly, a hit with his grotesque
dance during the specialties of the
second act Catherine Camp elected
much applause by the redition of the
song, Roll On Silver Moon" James
McDuff, as the cheerful undertaken,
read some very funny things from his
book of epitaphs
In the serious portions of the play
Frank Minzey as Ridy, Louis Morrell
as the villain, and George H. Maxwell
as Pa Hopkins, are worthy of men
ton for the very creditable portrayals
of their roles.

GEN. CHASE IS STILL
WAITING IN DENVER
Gov Peabody Refuses to Admit That
He Is Dissatisfied With Officer.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 4.-The sum-
moning to Denver of Brig. Gen. John
Chase by Gov. Peabody continues to be
the feature of interest in the Cripple
Creek strike. Gov. Peabody declines
to give his reasons for ordering the
general from duty and placing another
in his command in his stead. When
pressed for a statement tonight, the
governor said:
Gen. Chase is in Denver on detached
duty. His stay is indefinite
The governor called Gen. Chase in
conference on two occasions today. but
just what the nature of the discussions
occurring at these meetings were, has
not been made public
1t is positively rumored that Gov.
Peabody has become dissatisfied with
certain policies pursued by Gen. Chase
in handling the situation at Cripple
Creek, but no one in authority will
verify this rumor, nor can it be learned
in what particular the governors ideas
of the proper method of treating the
Cripple Creek strike disagrees with
those of Gen. Chase, if at all.

in the current. We went after it and
after good deal of work succeeded in
running her ashore as we did not want
her to drift against the wooden bridge
below. When everything was over we
took the tender and roWboat and went
over to South st. Paul with a pair of
shoes and two guns, which, fortunately,
had been left on the shore when we
returned from hunting"
! The Admiral CeVera was a single
deck, cabin stern wheeler, fifty-five
feet in length. She was built by R. c.
Moore at Wayzata and was purchased
by Mr.. Schiffmann about three yaers
ago. A lot of money has been expended
on her, particularly on the engines, and
she was known as one of the best
boats along this part of the river.
The houSeboat, the hull of which,
the same time, had been reconstructed
by him into one of the finest equipped
boats in this part of the country. She
was fitted up with staterooms, bath
rooms with hot and cold water, and
furnished throughout with the most ex-
pensive rugs and interior furnishings.
The houseboat was forty-four feet in
length and was called the Bon Ami"
She was always used with the steamer
on the various trips up and down the
river.
Mr.. Schiffmann places his loss at
about $4,000 on the steamer and be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 on the house
boat. He has insurance for about
$4,000.

Jolly Grass Widows" at the Star.

The "JolIy Grass Widows" is a de-
parture from the conventional form of
entertainment usually furnished at
1.-The Home of Burlesque" The chief
features are a chorus nicely gowned,
some first rate musical numbers, one
good comedian, one good male voice
and some bright scenic effects.
There are no specialties, except a
song and dance by the Misses Butler
and Montrose. AS a diversion from the
routine the performance is agreeable
and we'll worth seeing. 1t is not, how
ever, the success the management
evidently aspired to produce. The
comedy element contains nothing new
and is only saved from the utterly
commonplace by the presence of Alex
Carr, the Hebrew comedian, who is
exceptionally clever.
There are only four men in the cast.
One of these is Joseph E. Howard, the
leading man, who possesses a splendid
voice and fine physique and who in
terprets most of the musical numbers
unusually well. The other three are
Alex Carr, Nat Field and Guy Rawson
and they all "butt" in after each
musical number and endeavor to hold
the stage until the chorus has changed
costumes. In this they are only mildly
successful, as the material is INSULT
cient and consists mostly of what has
been done several seasons.
The only real hit-judging from the
viewpoint of annlause-was the sex
