THE MARKET HOUSE,.

We understand that there is to be an eff
fort inau8urated to prevent the construction
of the market house, even though the CEN
tract has been let and the work ordered to
proceed. The opponents of the market are
Mortified because it is proposed to have
public hall in the second story, and in order
to abolish this terrible hall they now declare
that the market house should be simply a
long, squatty building, only one story high.
just what there is so deleterious and fatal
in a public hall has not been developed save
fear that bad smell will be visible to the
naked nose.
We do not suppose there is citizen in or
out of the council who favors this market
who sets any great store by the proposed
hall. The reason for having one at oil is
simply because both as a matter of archi-
lecture and utility it is desirable to make a
building two stories high, and, after accom-
modating the municipal court, there is room
ia spare which can be proftably used as q
public hall. The city IS destitute of a large
hall, and is likely to be so for years
to come. Until such time as thu
city may need the room for her Offices
there is no sensible objection to making {
hall. It cannot be that there is in realit,
any basis for the outcry against the proposed
hall. It is merely peg on which som.

year does the modern minister know fully
the state of his flock, and for q portion Of
the year he knows nothing whatever about
It. A vacation in the summer, a lecture tour
in the winter, and various briefer absences
leave him scarcely time enough to
become acquainted with the mem
bers of his congregation, while he knows
practically nothing of their real
spiritual wants to which lie is called to min
lister. We have no objections to summer
vacations for preachers, when they or their
congregations can afford to bear the expense
of the trip and the supply. It was recorded
last summer that at one time in Brooklyn
there was not single evangelical Protestant
minister in the city, and several persons dy-
ing, their relatives were compelled to send
to New York for Lutheran clergyman-the
only one to be had in the city-to perform
the last sad rites over the remains. Such a
state of affairs ought to shame the clergy, if
they have any shame left, but the majority
seem to regard themselves as privileged char
acters, not responsible to those who support
them, when they find it in any way interferes
with their ease or pleasure.

WHILE the nation at large is exercised

clamoring for their suppression, a small
portion Of the nation-that in the vicinity

these socialists, and have inaugurated legal
proceedings looking to the suppression Of

Utility of the lands of the community, that

I'm EXPECTED DISASTER.


The disaster which occurred at Lake
Mini etonka yesterday was long since fore
seen and predicted by the GLOBE. On the
2sth of January last, in discussing the Lake
Park location, the GLOBE said
Excelsior is out IN the wilderness, so to
speak. 1t is accessible at present by six mile
trip across Lake Minnetonka on small and
dangerous steamboat. :. s= o..
There will be some advantage
in that, it is true, as there will be sew
eral explosions during the season, and besides
those killed and drowned in that manner scores
of them will lose their lives in attempting to
reach the park in sail or row boats.
GLOBE said: adm,
ITO reach Excelsior it is necessary to make a
six mile trip across Lake Minnetonka. 10
make this Journey little tubs of steamboats,:
sail boats or row boats are used. A few years
ago q government inspector dropped down at
Minnetonka and condemned every one of the
steamboats, as unfit for service. They were
tied up for some weeks and finally le-
leased, not because they were safe
but because Lake Minnetonka not being a
navigable stream for commercial purposes, the
inspector had no business to examine them at
all. Since then one Of the steamers exploded,
carrying down every one on board
The GLOBE urged the appointment of a
State inspector for our inland lakes, but the
legislature refused to give the authority, and
the result is shown in this disaster. Our sur
prise is not that the disaster occurred, but
that it was long delayed With one ex-
ception the Lulu at Lake Elmo) there is
not steamboat on Minnesota lake which
ought to be tolerated if human life is con-
sidered. The Lulu was originally built for
the river trade and required inspection by
the government, which is the only reason
why an exception be made in her case
It is time that the people who seek pleasure
at our summer resorts should have some
protection against taking an involuntary and
extended Journeys which may prove even
warmer than the parched atmosphere they
are seeking to escape.

HE tribute of the St. Paul bar to the per-
sonal and judicial character of Judge Dillon,
who is about to retire from the bench of this
judicial circuit, was well deserved, and COM
ing from so large and respectable portion
of the bar: will no doubt be highly appre-
ciated by the judge. During his long in
cumbency of the bench, Judge Dillon has
been uniformly courteous and careful in his
conduct, and has won golden opinions from
the legal fraternity throughout the circuit
where he has presided.
