Streets and the Charter.

The Minneapolis Tribune may have
heard that there was some sentiment
in favor Of the charter which will be
submitted at the next election. This
would be sufficient to account for it's
suggestion that there should be incor-.
porated provision ending the super
vision Of streets by ward commission
ers. Much as this is to be desired. it is
something which would immediately
array the political element against the
charter and make its adoption improb-,
ab1es Minneapolis= Is governed. by a
council charter, and while efforts have
been made to set up a new kind, they
have invariably, been rejected. The
only charter which received. majority

council form of government and at
most put the matter of future changes

people to be settled at future elections.

OF. raising a general street fund which
shall be expended under the direction
of the city engineer. Out of this de-
partment should evolve in time a gen
eral street department under the en-
gineer's charge. To bring it about it
would only be necessary for the. coup-
Gil to turn, the ward funds into the
general fund and to refrain from ap-
pointing street commissioners. The
people might then have demonstrated
the economy of general street depart
ment and be ready to vote intelligently
on an amendment to the charter abol-
ishing the system Of ward work en-
tirely.
&sIf the aldermen are, as the Tribune
suggests, now opposed to the commits

easily under the proposed charter.

Politics in Hennepin

Five candidates have fled for the re-.
publican nomination as alderman of the
second ward. 1t is such loyal repub-
hcan ward that the republican nomi-
nation is equivalent: to election and the
primary election, INSTEAD of being the
real beginning Of campaign, as in
some Of the other wards, is practically
Once the second ward sent demo-
crat to the city council and that was
IN 1890, when Well-knOWn republican
ran as independent and split the party
vote so evenly that James G.. Haynes
slid in. But it happened only once, and
consequently there is usually a large
field out for the republican nomination.
The five now in the field are John
Friend, r. B. Thompson, E: w. Hawley,
Ben Sheldon and W.. E. Nelson. The
two last named live in Prospect park,
ley on Tenth avenue Sc and Mr.. Friend
in the upper end Of the ward, about
two blocks away from Alderman Satter-
lee. Geographically he is not a logical
candidate, but he is well known and if
he Is the man the people want the loca-
ton of his home will not make much
difference. He is in business on Central
avenue. ...e. .--.. -
R. B. Thompson is in the lumber
paoiuCSS, anu lS huOWu DIS CdpdD!e
and successful man of affairs. He is
OF the type known as hustler and has
been extremely active in politics.
: Mr.. Nelson is the superintendent of
an industrial plant. Little is known Of
him by people who are familiar with
political conditions in the second ward,
but he has plenty Of time in which to
make himself known. '--~.r--...
The wise ones say that the contest
lies between Benjamin G. Sheldon and
Edward w. Hawley. The former is an
active young business man with repu-
tation for industry and progress. Mr..
Hawley IS lawyer, a careful student
Of municipal affairs with fondness for
discussing them in public and private.
His reputation is Of the best.
No democrat has fled, but presunn-
ably someone will be trOtted out for
the sacrifice later on. No matter who
he is, he will have no show against the
republican who wins at the primaries.
The Thirteenth Ward Republican and
Improvement club will meet this even
ing at O'Clock at the club hall, Thir-
ty-eighth street and Fourth avenue s.
The speakers on the program are George
R. Smith, Fred M. Powers, Joseph T.
Mannix and James S. Gray. Other can.
didates are invited to be present.

Politics in Iowa,

Political conditions in Minnesote and
In Iowa furnish a strong contrast. Po-
htical partizanship in this state was
probably never less active than at
present. We are facing a state CAM
paign supported on the one side by a
congressional election and on the other
by county and in some cases city con-
tests for the offices, and vet nobody is
talking politics. A spirit Of indiffer-
ence prevails, which is anomalous and
puzzling to the practical politicians.
We shall have no aggressive work in
the campaign until after the local pri-
maries in September.
Iowa on the other hand has been
in the throes Of q bitter contest
within the republican party lasting over
several months and now reaching a
crisis in the city of Des Moines. The
struggle now under way in Iowa is a
contest Of the rank and file with ma
chine, the latter under the direction of
a:srailroad attorney who is fighting des-
perately for his hold on the party not
so UGH for the governorship. in all
probability, as for the senatorship.
Senator Allison is manifestly near the
end Of his public service. Honored by
the nation and continued in the senate
by his own state for more than thirty
three years, the state of his health is
such as to suggest that the selection Of
his successor must come soon. E...

ADJUSTMENTS
UnIuue--Polite Vaudeville.

Satisfactory is the. best. word with
which to describe this weeks bill at the
Unique While none of the offerings is
startlingly good. none is noticeably bad,
and the general impression given by the
entire performance is pleasing.
De Shields and Mehring have an act
which is both novel and clever. De
Shields performs many difficult feats on
the slack wire and ends. his .perforr11a11c
by. riding, first bicycle and then q uni

Of metal. lMehring does soubrette turn
while assisting De Shields, and adds much
to. the smoothness Of the act by. the by
play with which she fills the pauses-
The act IS noteworthy for the dispatch
with which 1t is executed. Steve Jen-
'nings, comedian. has one of the most fin
ished acts on the bill. His singing and
,clogging are good. but the real feature
OF the turn is the startling way in which
he makes cane defy the law of gravi-
tation. Levitt and Ashmore have a
laughable sketch which embodies the
best features of the 'tslap- stick school
of acting. The Quinn trio Of Juvenile
sketch artists are good. AL three are
young enough to be classed as 'kids,"
but their stunts do not depend entirely
upon the youth Of the performers for in

The motion pictures OF, the Yale-Har-

appointing as view Of the contest, but
the preliminary films. showing the steam

tors, are full Of interest. The Subpoena

view Of recent attempts to get certain

interesting. Herman La Fleur has rus
