HISTORY OF The SPANISH lNoUt.

" HISTORY OF The SPANISH lNQUi.
SlTION.-A contribution of unusual value
to the literature relating to the inquisi-
tion has been made by Henry Charles
Lea, LID, who Is well-known as a
writer Of the history Of those religious
movements that have affected civlliza-
ton. His new work bears the title, A
History of the lnquIsItion of Spain, and
is to be. in four volumes, only the first
Eef which has asSsyet been issued. This
volume begins wfthathe disorders at the
accession of Ferdinand and Isabella, and
treats of the Jews and Moors, the Jews
and those converted by force from the
Jewish to the Catholic faith, the estab-
I1ishment of the inquisition, the Kingdoms
of Aragon, relationsa with the crown,
privileges and exemptions, conflicting
Jurisdictions and popular hostility. "a 20

The Charter Construed.

The supreme court of the state has
upheld the decision of Judge Brown in
the mandamus proceedings on the part
of the Patterson Light company to
compel the mayor to sign its contract
with the council. The effect of the
decision is to make the mayor an in
tegral part of the city government and
to put an end to the system which has
prevailed Of passing contracts by mo-
ton and then starting lawsuits to COM
pei him to approve officially something
which he might consider not for the
best interests of the city. 1
The decision follows the common
sense doctrine that the mayor either.
is or is not a part Of the city govern
,ment under the charter; that if he is,
his charter rights cannot be taken from
him by rule of the council. The coun-
ell will undoubtedly hereafter pass all
contracts by resolution, which will
bring them within scope of the mayor s
veto power. This is the proper con-
struction Of the charter rights of the
coordinate branches Of the city gov
eminent, the council having the right
to initiate and perfect legislation and
the mayor the power Of review.
The immediate effect of the decision
is that there is no contract with the
Patterson: Lighting company; never
was a legal contract, from the day the
mayor refused to sign the document
presented to him. Under the resolu-
ton of the city council the arrange
ment for from day-to-day service by
the Patterson Light company must ter
inmate within ten days. It is now up
to the council to readvertise for bids
or to take upon itself the lighting Of
the streets. In either event the council
is required by the decision to take the
mayor into account, and no doubt the
mayor will have some suggestions te
offer Of value to the council, he having
done some Investigating Of the light
ing question since the dispute arose
/, over the Patterson contract.
It must be remembered that5the mayor
originally objected to the contract, mo-
/ primarily because he had not been con on
J suited about it, but for the broade1
reason that he thought it an unfai
contract. The duty now resting upo'
the mayor and council is to ]ointl,
secure a fair arrangement. This /
always the duty of administrative OF
fcers representing the people. Their
should be no difficulty about their get
ting together on this problem.

"THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"
by Arthur Grifffths. is an attempt to
make. an exciting story Of a detective
chase after a divorced woman who has
kidnapped her own; child Much of the
sought for excitement is lost in the meth
cd of telling. The detectives are won
ders" for their profession, being just
what a good detective never is, garrulous
and indiscreet, and one wants to read
about good detectives or none at all, even
if they are on the side opposed to his
interests. The romance of an army Off
Ger who assists the kidnappers, and an
aunt Of the stolen child, adds only slight
ly to the interest of the story.

shakspere invented the good American

poet says:

The YOUNG WRITER'S IN FICTION

tSSiN~ w III ETn9
In fiction, the young writer, with spon
taneous imaginative creation, whose
taste relishes the concrete world of ma
ture and humanity about him-all the
beauty, mirth and pathos Of it-more
than the images of the world conveyed
thru literary tokens, has from the first
an advantage in that he makes upon his
readers mind a wholly native impress
sion, says H. M. Alden in the May Har-
per's. He makes himself known directly
by showing us the .lineaments 6f his
spiritual face, the charm of feature,
mood and temper which makes an i'm
preston, at our first reading. like that
of first-seen faces in Our real human
contacts. Such writer's are vital person
alities in our literature. They do not
need to wait. They may come to- us as
children come, as soonlas they can speak

JJninstructed Delegates.

There seems to be very little differ
ence Of opinion among Hennepin county
republicans, on the main question Of an
.uninstruetsd delegation to Duluth. The
gathering last evening was large and
representative, and while it's vote is not
binding upon any; one, it is a clear in
dication Of sentiment. A.. n. Hall was
the only man to raise his voice in favor
of instructions, and while his argument
contained some telling phrases, it did
not carry conviction. Mr.: Hall pro-
tested against sending a delegation
cited hand and foot' or "blindfold-
ed" That is just what instructions
mean. A delegation of ninety-nine men
from Hennepin county, instructed to
vote for certain candidate for gov
ernor, wouldde about as tightly tied as
could be. .."* .... '.- -.
If any moral issue were involved in
the contest, a different question would
be presented; but here we have seven
candidates for the nomination, al
standing for practically the same thing

choice Of candidate will be on person
atty rather than principle. The con
vention must choose deliberately tht
man believed to be the strongest candi
date and the best material for gov

for Hennepin to5inyite a struggle in tn,
