MINNEAPOLIS.
ABOUT THE CITY.

1t Is quite natural supposition that
the world goes courting,intuitively. The
Idea of helping man or woman in a
sparkling venture never presents it
self to but those who require the assist
Rnce. We are told that matches are
maze IN heaven, and from the results of
.mo minneapolis divorce courts no one
would care to remove the responsibility
nor certainly to assume it. Yet we have
matrimonial bureaus in Minneapolis. A
matrimonial bureau is just like an in
telligence Office, and may be great
boon to those suffering mortalS who
want to taste the sweets of cOnnubial
felicity but know not how to go about it.
You go to the bureau, pay the fee and
meet the person, who also paid the fee
to meet you. If both parties are salts
he'd, marriage license and accommo-
dating parson are the only prerequisites
to the aforesaid connubial felicity.
There is a matrimonial bureau on
principal avenue of Minneapolis, and is
Is presided over by a blonde goddess,
who processes her ability to mate the
signing swain or blushing Phyllis at
reasonable rates and on short notice;
but the Intimate relations between the
bureau and the divorce court need not
be imagined nor elaborated here. A
man who has tried the prescription Of
tered says it borders on mind cure, and
that hereafter the galaxy of beauty at
the disposal of the bureau has no charm
for him.

1t was supposed Senator d. M. Clough
would, al least, have clear walk-away
with his party on the East side in his
congressional canvass. That he carried
that part of the city in his vest pocket
was never doubted, but the East Side
Register, thick and thin Republican
paper, blasts him as follows:
What has become of Alderman
Coughs little boomlet for congress?
The tender exotic could withstand the
Minnesota air only long enough to be
glanced at, and then died. 1t was such
ridiculously cranky thing, too. The
absurdity of clubbing Mr.. Clough the
the heels of his being blacklisted by the
Knights of Labor, was indeed glaring.
MIR. Clough's candidacy was, like
daisy, born in a night, and when the
sun struck it it curled its little self up
and vanished forever. Requiescat in
pace.
The examination of Shotwell, Cleri-
hew d Lothman, charged with defraud-
ing the Nlc0llet bank, VIII be continued
I'm the municipal court this morning.
There is diversity of opinion among
those who heard the testimony as to
whether it is sufficient to hold them to
the grand jury, but the accused seem
confident of their discharge. 1t is said
they are contemplating damage suit
against the NicOllet bank in case they
are discharged. But it is also said the
bank officers will go before the grand
fury and have them indicted whether
Judge Mahoney holds them or not.

The United Labor party will hold
convention to-day-the first ever held in
Administrations the purpose of nomi-
mating complete state ticket. From
the CREDENTIALS already received there is
prospect of quite large attendance
from the state at large, while of course
Minneapolis and st. Paul will be well
represented. The United Labor party,
Which must not be COMPOUNDED with the
Knights of Labor, is the Henry George
party, though Henry George has now
gone over to the Democrats on the tariff
issue. The party men say they will put
up ticket from governor to aldermen.
