WIN not fix the license on employ.

FEBRUA
Why not fix the license on employ
ment agencies that secd men all over
the broad land for situations, at 81, 600
and place them under $1,000 bonds ,
If men would look up work for them
selves, inside and outside the city, re-
CARELESS of agencies, they would be
money IN pocket at the end of the year.

is now deputy clerk of the city council.
a position he will fill with the utmost
satisfaction to all concerned. Men with
the capabilities that Mart possesses are
too seldom appreciated. He deserves
to Ego higher" and will if reward of
merit has any weight in the scale.

Will the bu2le- call eyer be heard
throughout the land for pure ballot?
That was the President elects desire
oyer a month ago, and fully dozen
governors have since repeated the wish,
but the faithful have not yet come to
the rescue. The Republican party is
undoubtedly securing the country for
expiring consumptiyes to give us that
bugle call.
Division No. 4, A.. q. II. Of Mime
apo!is. is comparatively new, but 1t has
friends by the score, as shown by the
large attendance at the Peoples Thea
tire last Friday night. The proceeds or
that part that is lett after meeting ex
renses incurred, will 60 to the Parnell
defence fund. No. 4 did nobly--the d.
visions Of the county have all done
their work we'll in their efforts to light
en- the burden OF Ireland's great leader.

Freemen 7. Lane is certainly on the
right track regarding legislation for the
city of Minneapolis. To reduce the
number of aldermen of this city to one
from each ward, with an additional four
at large, is q move in the night direc-
tion. If he will succeed in this and in
abolishing the police commission, he
will have done something that large
majority Of his constituents will heart
lily endorse and gratefully remember
him for.

Col. Thomas FL. O'Brien, Of New
York, member of the editorial force of
"Once a Week. a very popular illus
trated journal published in that city, is
q visitor to Minneapolis. His object
here is to write up the various indus
tries of our city Tor that widely circu
lated and influential journal with which
he is connected, and he means to do it
in a manner that will do justice to every
interest of this metropolis.

At meeting of Ccangemen held out
in the Eighth ward last Wednesday
evening, Rey. G. l.. Morrill, was pres
emit and gave vent to his feelings i'll a
manner that was certainly in keeping
with his usual style of abuse and false
hood. One thing can be said for Mr..
Morrill-he is always CONSTANT in his
utterances, such as they are, and fair
minded Protestants as we'll as Catholics
have long since learned to look upon
hAln as ,nau who has missed his call
ing In the ministry. But he left his
oft~repeate,d theme, in his last effort,
long enough to Say that two OF the st.
Paul leading daily papers are continu
ally bought up and and muzzled by the
Catholics. There is just as much truth
in this as there is in any OF his SER
mona-and there isn't an iota IT truth
in the assertion he makes. Catholics,
indeed, are thankful that the press is
free and untramme!led in this land Of
ours, that all may be haard-they have
nothing to lose by this; to the con-
trary, much to gain. The Pioneer
Press, as newspaper, eudeavors to be
fair and just to it's readers--to treat all
denominations as nearly fair as posi-
BILE, and Catholics, noticing this, have
learned to commend it for its course.
What has been said for the Pioneer
Press can also be SAID for the Globe. We
note these two journals because they
are unquestionabiy those that Mr.. Nor
rill refers to and he does so with that
disregard for truth that is Characters
tic of the man.
