Representative Republicans and Democrats Answer the Question. Attack Upon a Policeman's Property by a Bold, Un feeling Thief. Traveling" Men Getting" Ready for Fun—News of a Quiet Saturday. One of the questions put before the people of Minneapolis for final settle ment by the adoption of the anti-special legislation amendment to the state con stitution is this: "Shall the city council or the state legislature have the power to fix the patrol limits?" An effort will cortaiuly be made this winter to give Minneapolis a new city charter. Whether the attempt fails or not, the postal limits question must be considered ~in this connection. With a view to ascertaining the drift of public opinion on this question, the Globe lias asked, without regard to political affiliations, men accustomed to considering governmental problems this question: "Should the control of the patrol limits be vested in the state legislature or in the city council?'' These are the replies: J. T. Wyman, Member-elect of the Legislat urel believe in home rule primarily. I have no doubt that the majority of the peo ple in all parts of this city are now in favor of the patrol limits. Under these conditions, 1 think the control of the patrol limits should be left to the city council. The people of the city know what they want. I believe iii the home rule principle applied as far as possible. . W. H. Lynn, ex-Member of the Legislature —Arguments could be presented on both sides ot that question. If there were danger that the patrol limits might be abolished. I would favor leaving the question as it is; but the people believe in the patrol limits sys tem now. The people ought to be able to elect the right kind of a council aud the council ought to be able to fix the patrol limits where the people want them. The trouble with leaving the control of this ques tion to the state legislature is this: The country members care nothing about the question, as a question, aud in the legislature it becomes a matter to be traded on. Aid. C. P. Lovell— l believe in leaving this question to the legislature. If the council were given the handling of It endless squab bling and filibustering would be the result. Bernard Cloutier— ln my opinion the coun cil ought to have the fixing oftbepattol limits and the city council only. The matter of the patrol limits effects Minneapolis alone and should therefore be lett to municipal legislation. The legislature does not know the needs of the city so well as the alder men, for they are not in touch • with condi tions or events. The city is growing rapidly and the patrol limits should certainly be ex tended, over what was arranged six years ago. Frank Holbrook— Let the matter of fixing the patrol limits be placed in the hands of the city council by all means. It isa ques tion that can be solved by the aldermen through the wishes of their constituents ai:d not by the legislature, for the legislators are THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE- -i^DAY-: Iv'CENTNG, DECL^im VX JBD2.— TWENTY PAG_*_, THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE:- FTX-DAY- A'CKNTNG, mXT.X.T EX IS. j 802. ---TWENTY PAG__*.

I am not advocating the sale of | liquor by auy means, but in this case it seems to me that the patrol limits ought to be extended. The present limits were established a number of years ago | when the city was considerably smaller than it is at the present time. With the increase 1 or population the boundary lines of ail mu nicipal institutions and laws must expand and enlarge. The city council is in touch, with the people, and knows their wants bet ter by far than any legislature can. So long as the patrol limits are of no general im portance, but merely of moment to Minne apolitans, then Minneapolitans should have the say. it appears to me. Charles F. Baxter— The patrol limits ques tion is a purely local question and, as such, the council should handle it. Louis A. Reed— My first impression is that the control of the patrol limits should be left with the legislature, but I can be convinced to the coutrarv. If the council were given power to control the limits, the question would get into politics. Aid. J. C. Havnes— council is the body to handle that ques tion. The people can be trusted. The people know what they want. They want the patrol limits aud they would still have them and control them through the cruncii. The county option plan is a parallel case. The principle of. allowing state legis lature to interfere with the purely local con cerns of a municipality is wrong. That principle made it possible for Boss Tweed io ascertain to a nicety that a state senator in New York was worth just $10,000. The objection that it will be dragged into pol itics has no weight. You can't very well keep a political question out of politics. Health Commissioner Kelly— The fixing of the patrol limits is a matter for the people of the city to attend to, and it seems to me that the common council can better do so than the state legislature. .It is a matter of local importance only, and so long as any ordi nance regulating the patrol limits is legal, tho legislature should have no voice in the matter. The city is growing rapidly, and it is likelythe patrol limits ought to be extend ed.- I haven't looked into the matter, but from a point of reason and right, it seems to me that the city should have the regulating of its own affairs, when they do not conflict with affairs and laws of the state. City Clerk Haney— By all means leave the patrol limits to the city council. The people elect the council for the purpose that the affairs of the city may be administered and cared for in a proper manner. The patrol limits periain-ot just |what city ordinances are supposed to cover." Why then should the legislature have the say about fixing the lim its? The people of Minneapolis certainly know what thew want and what they need. If it is necessary to extend the patrol limits, let the council do it. Aid. John McGowan— l am about to retire from the council now, so I have no hesitancy in saving that in my opinion the aldermen ought to have '.he say in the matter of patrol limits. In many instances the legislature is composed of raembsrs whose polities is the same. In such an event there would be un just discrimination. Aside from that the leg islature cannot know the needs of a city so well as the aldermanic representatives. They are in no position to understand questions of local moment. What does a man from Otter Tail county know about Minneapolis and what is needed there? Nothing, absolutely nothing. What if an alderman should take it upon himself to regulate the laws of Goodhue or any other county? It would be just the same and just as ridiculous. Building Inspector Hazen — have not made a study of tne question, but from a point of common sense, it seems to me the council ought to have the say about the patrol limits. The council is elected for the purpose of ad ministering the city affairs and the patrol limits certainly belong to that category. I am net prepared to say whether the limits should De extended or not, but if necessary, then let the city council do it. Minneapolis is a large city now and it is nearly time she should have file control of her own affairs. The legislature can not know what is needed within the city limits, aside from some gen eral benefit. . : Aid. McGuire— lt is time the city should have the running of its own affairs.: The patrol limits should be regulated by the coun cil, for the council is there for that purpose. It is a number of years ago that the legisla ture fixed the patrol limits, because some few men got arouud in the lobby. of the capitol and lobbied. The city has grown since then and there is no doubt but some change ought to be made in the lii ails, The business por tion of the city is extending lv all directions Children's Clothing.

An Enterprising Thief Picks on Jailer Bradley for a Victim. It is immaterial to the average Flour City thief whom he robs. He tackles policemen with the same sang froid that he displays in holding up a timid and lone pedestrian. During the his tory of the present police force a num ber of its most stalwart members have been held up- and robbed by highway men. The first jailer to suffer at the hands of the light-fingered gentry, how ever, is Peter Bradley, of the central station. Peter lives at 147 Eleventh street north. Last night he was out in the yard performing his duties as a husband and father, when a stranger accosted him. hie had a coat over his arm which looked suspiciously like the one Peter knew lie had just doffed. The fellow said he had found the coat on the street, and if Bradley had no objection he would take it to the central police station. Bradley was agreeable, and the man with the coat disappeared. Then the old warrior, once belonged to the Irish constabulary, bethought himself to look after his own garment. He rushed into the house, when to his surprise he found it had disappeared, and with it the overcoats belonging to his little sons. Bradley hurried to the central station Ito intercept the man with the coat. He got there ahead of him, and in a few moments he made his appearance. lie protested he had found the coat, and wanted to bring it .to tho station for identification, but Bradley would not have it that way. He arrested the man then and there and locked him up- in unlucky Cell 13. He gave his name as Thomas Murphy. Bradley lost no time iv donning his coat. THE MERRY DRUMMERS. They Make.

Richard Mansfield first produced the play in America, scoring a great hit in the role of "Humpy" Logan, the de formed and villainous foreman of the Carlton Iron works. The scene of the play is laid in Lancashire, England, and maiiy or the characteristics of the work man of that region are represented in \ the play. The sensational features of the piece are relieved by a broad vein of comedy. Palmer Collins, an English actor of much prominence, will play the role of "Humpy" Logan. He is said to make the character stand out bold and prominent, and to interpret it without an attempt at over-acting in any way. When considered that Mansfield, one of America's greatest actors, created this role, his success in the character is com plimentary. James Mahoney will appear in the role of Jack Walton. Mr. Mahonev created a good impression last year with the "Two Sisters" com pany. Miss Charlotte Kay, a talented young actress, will play this Dart of Mrs. Walton. "Kidnapped," a sensational melo-drama, will be seen at the Bijou Ceristmas week. Grand Opera House— At this theater James O'Neill, whose name is to play goers synonymous with Count of Monte Cristo. will be seen the first four nights of this week in "Fontenelle." This play is of the same class as "Monte Cristo." The story is a highly-colored romance and every line exhales passion. Miss Emma Forsythe. a Minneapolis lady, is one of the cast. Lyceum Theater— A feature of the concert to be given at the Lyceum Wednesday evening by the Northwest ern university boys, will be the num bers by the banjo and mandolin clubs.
