No sooner have the charges against Supt.
Williams, in connection with the Crowley
case, been hushed up bya withdrawing re-
port. than another case, in which he neg
lected to give proper attention to a destitute
and suffering woman, pops up. 1t is too
bad that Mr.. Williams should be bothered
by these little matters.

Elsewhere will be found a mention of one
of Prof. TOuSley'S lectures in which he set
ties the question of supply and demand
in his great mind This is the intellectual
giant who once said: The head of the
man who says there is any conflict between
capital and labor can be bored with cats
tall" A rats tail would evidently do for
the professors head.

The compostors Of the Evening Journal
are in danger of losing their sits because
the Tribune has purchased the paper, and
the Tribune compOSitorS claim they should
have the preference. Still, Mr.. Blethen,
manager of the Tribune, in speech to the
Journal compositors on Thursday promised
that they should hold their places. Can he
keep his word?
The Tribune claims that it has not pur-
chased the journal, and that it is to be run
by an entirely different company. And the
Tribune's foreman claims that the Tribune
has purchased the Journal and therefore
he has the right to say who shall hold cases
on the paper. Answers to this con-
undrum should be addressed to the pnzzle
department.

The labor market for printers is evidently
somewhat overstocked. So it is among the
coopers. Take to the woods, boys, and
build cities for yourselves. You can do it
if you have the mutual sand necessary.

A prominent contractor of st. Paul said

taken as standard Of ordinary caution, Z"
poor Mulvahill would have secured sufficient
damages to have kept him and his family
of six persons from want. AS it is he is
blind, penniless and helpless.

DR.. Hutchins, in his lecture at the Con-
gregational church ON the East side last
Tuesday evening, said some very hard
Kings about the churches of this city. He
accused them of building churches at self
supporting points, and allowing the ''rot-
ting masses" to go without the Gospel.
Judging from the police investigations now
going on, the strong word ''rotting" is not
too strong and it seems advisable to do
something Immediately, if there is any
thing to be done. There is need in this
city of several Jerry McAuleys. if not more
Poverty on the one side and money and
lust on the other make the case more
difficult continually. Christianity can
boast of its triumphs in heather lands, but
has any great city ever deserved to be
called Christian city? DR.. Hutchins and
other earnest ministers would do well to
consider this fact.
