Fredrick A.Ames, the superintendent ofpolice, have already been indicted, and half 2 dozen others are to follow. The tirst tried—Gardner—has been convicted. Detective Norbeck, whose trial followed next, has confessed his guilt by flight before his trial was con- cluded, leaving his bondsmen in the h. Nodirect evidence of the com- plicity of Mayor Amesin the corrup- tion of his subordimates has hereto- fore been presented, but his indie’! mest for attemting to bribe the coun- ty commissioners is such a revolting revelation of his criminal capabilities as to Jeaye no moral doubt that he was the head and front of the whole rascally business, and that he was in full partnership with his subordinates in their lucrative sales of police pro- tection to professional crooks and swindlers. There is no room to doubt the conclusive positiveness of the evi- dence on which the indictment of Mayor Ames was based. The grand jury, some members of which are per- sonal friends of Ames, has de'lt very tenderly with him, and has sot sought to implicate bim in the charges against his subordinates. But the evidence uf hisattempt to bribe the county commissioners was so direct and positive that even his personal friends on the grand gury were com- pelled to. vote for the indictment. The ind Minneapolis one lure j forgotten The action of the jury was unanimous. His proposal to the county commissso- ners was zn infamousone. They were to appoint bis secretary, Brown, to succeed Sheriff Megaarden, - The sherifi’s fees were estimated at $20,000 a year, of this only $5,000 was to be retained by Brown the first year avd the remaining $15,000 was to be divi- ded equally among the three county commissioners, whose votes it was thus sought to purchase. With the sbrievalty as well as the city police thus under the control of Ames he would have had the city wholly at his mercy. with all the machinery for the euforcoment or non-enforcemet of the Jaws entirely in his hands. The scheme was as audacious in concep- ‘gion as it was villainous in the means taken to .bring it about.: With a ca scoundrel of this kind at the head of the police department it is no wonder that it reeked with: corruption in its vilest forms—that his subordinates were in league with professional sbar- pers to ryb and swindle the strangers and greenborns whom it was the duty of the police te protect. The history of municipal corruption in the United States shows no blacker page than that of the police administration of Mayor Ames of Minneapolis, on which the light has just been turned. And if the police were thus degraded into a partnership with thieves and rob- bers. it was because the service was polluted at its tountain head.—St. Paul Globe, CUBA’S INDEPENDENCE Tt cannot be successfully denied that every American citizen, whether an imperialist or a republican, a pro- tectionist ur free trader, the benefi- ciary or victim of trusts, felt a vbrill of pride when the United States flag came down in Cuba. When it could be said that this great republic had conceived another one; had nursed it to the walking stage; had served notice upon the nations of the earth that they must‘let the little fellow alone, and left it to work out the problem of self-government in its own way! For the. time it was forgotten that the plédge given to the world when war was declared against Spain was inspired by the fear that in the absence of such a pledge we would not have Spain alone to fight. 1t was that that-declaration has since been regretted and deplored by the selfish and greedy commercialism of the times, and that the regret has been voiced mapy times, and felt still oftener. In fact, nothing was re- membered but the that made Cuba free. so, it is true, but near enough for her welfare and our glory. That act was remembered and rejviced over; it thrilled all citizens because it was in such genius of our government. It put tbe United States in the attitude of a republic-maker, the noblesv and most benignant attitude conceivable. It was an example of the grand and lofty. mission that naturally attaches to, and should never be abandoned by, the mightiest republic of history. 1t was that ex- ample that caused the rejvicing, and it was unalloyed until it was remem- bered that the Cuban republic should have been one ofa pair of twin re- publics! Then the gloom of regret darkened the complexion of the gea- er? joy; the regret that, at the proper time, the same declaration that has now made Cuba free and would bave made the Phillippines the other twin was omitted! O, whata ghastly mis- take, what acostly omission was that! That omission is-the parent of the fleshless skeleton that now mars the feast of gladness that else would be unmafred!--Farm, Stock & Home. DULUTH HUMORS. Duluth is having great fun with the Republican campaign of humor. Jel- lison has come down from Cobassett and intends to hire a hall and make himself known to the voters. F.E. Searle was backed up to the cars aud finally refused to stand. So they circulated a petition asking Tine Daugherty to run—anybody but Bede. They got eight signatures the first day. Bede happened to run across the man with the petition who asked bim to sign it. Bede is always willing to please. He signed the petition asking Daugherty to be a candidate against him, adding the memorandum, “In consideration of support promised to me.” Bede told Jellison taat if Searle ran the contest would be between the two humorists.—Red Wing Argus. WitiiaM J. BRYAN has made publi¢ a letter written to Senator Allen, Pé- pulist leader, reiterating his firm de. termination not to accept the guber- natorial nomination. He adds: “I have no personal ambition to serve; there is no office to which I aspire. I am not only content to dothe work which Lam now doing, but I believe that ,in this way I can accomplish more to my state and for the Unised States. My candidacy is not neces- sary to defsat the reorganizers. While I expect to do all that is with- in my power to aid those who are de- termined to prevent the Clevelandiz- ing of the Democratic party, yet the success of that effort does not depend upon me bor upon any influence that 4 may beable to exert, but upon a multitude of earnest, honest and loyal Democrats who will spare 20 pains to protect the party from another such humiliation and disgrace.” Heinz pure cider vinegar, at Kre- mer & Kremer; the grocers.
