To Keep the Tent Dry.

The tent in front of the Fountain
saloon has been partly torn down and
by this evening it may all be taken
away. Some one remarked that the
owner was having it removed because
bad weather is likely to set in at any
time and he does not want he tent

An Editorial by j. j. Hill.

The ST. Paul Globe, belonging to
j. j. Hill, has for it's leading editorial
today the article quoted below. S.
r. Van SAINT was elected governor Of
the state of Minnesota in 1902, on his
record for two years previous by the
largest majority ever given to any
candidate for governor in this state.
What elected him was his record on
the merger case. What inspired the
editorial quoted below is that record
This insult offered to the governor
of the state of Minnesota while yet
in office is proof of the contempt en-
tertained at it's source, not alone for
the occupant of the office, but for the
office itself. Contempt for law and
. contempt for the officer Of the law
naturally go together. When the state
is thoroly northumberland POLITICAL
ly, a process which received a grea
impetus at the last republican state
convention, there will be no insult:
like this offered to the occupant o.
the office Of governor of Minnesota
there will be no one there to provoke
them.

It is not just evident why the two col
laborate. Possibly one furnishes the slang
and the other the stories. We should say,
however, that if they are equally gifted"
in the art Of ng-making or slang
absorbing from the .picaroon level Of So
ciety, they had better divide their forces,
for surely there is enough slang in this
one book for two books to say the very
least. ~ . .... @
:. The character Of the stories may be
gathered from the definition of Plea
room in a note at. the beginning: Plea
roon--a petty rascal. one who lives by
his wits; an adventurer." The bright par
ticular picaroons Of this book are San
Francisco petty rascals;;'' the stories are
told in the first person, and SO, Of course,
the slang is appropriate. The authors say
that life in San Francisco. is q continuous
melodrama interspersed with vaudeville
specialties, and that more happens to the
square inch there than in any other city
Of the world. They declare that they have
only scratched the surface and have used
a few only Of the mildest episodes which
have come under their personal notice,
fearing If they told of the more fantastic
ones they would surely not be believed.

What MINNEAPOLIS ESCAPED.

Charles Williams, the colored man
who went to the workhouse the other
day for assault and battery, would
probably have been in his grave be-
fore this if race prejudice had been as
violent a passion in Minneapolis as it
is in some parts of the country. Hap
PLY Minneapolis has been spared the
disgrace Of an exhibition Of lawless-
ness Of that kind. Lynching seems
sometimes to be the only form of pun
ishment which will satisfy outrage
and wrong, but it is always harmful
to the community guilty of such an
exhibition Of lawlessness
1t will be remembered that our
morning contemporaries printed SEN
sational stories Of an attempt on the
part Of this colored man to commit a
criminal outrage upon a little white
girl. Whether Williams ever intended
to do anything of that kind is by nc
means certain from the evidence
There seem to be facts to indicate
that his intention more probably was
robbery At all events, he did no
! commit a criminal outrage, and, Q:
course, he could not be punished fol
crime which he did not commit
There was no evidence to justify the
court in holding him on that charge
The court could not enter into .hi
mind and determine what his inten
tons were. It could only take notice
of what he did as shown by the evi
dence, including that Of the girl her
self. At the same time the accused
has a bad reputation and the cour
was justified in sustaining against hin
the charge Of assault and battery AM
!. placing him where he will have n,
Opportunity to commit a criminal act Q
any nature for a time at least.
