The local dailies are trying to ascer-
tain who it was that sent dispatch 10
the New York Sun, purporting to give
some inside facts on the present hnan-
cial standing of Senator W. D. Wash
burn. Whoever authorized the send
ing out OF such dispatch is not ut TO
live in Minneapolis. The author OF
that special should have taken pains
to inquire little into his subject be-
fore sending such message all over
the country. No man has done more
for Minneapolis than Mr.. Washburn,
and certainly none wishes the -four city
better than he. Always true to his
principles and his constituents and
never backward whenever the city OF
his adoption called upon him to espouse
her cause. There is no doubt, but that
Mr.. Washburn lhas had a great deal to
contend with. The building of the 500
road has been quite drag upon him,
as also many other business enterprises
that the public know little about, but
he is far from being the financial wreck
that that dispatch pictured him to be.
There is little hope of ever finding out
who the author of that message was,
but the public are satisfied that it was
manufactured IN one of the two local
newspaper Offices, and the sooner these
correspondents for the New York
dailies con6ne themselves to facts,
which they can stand by, the better.

something was done to change matters

WHEN the parnelI Commission re-
sumed it's work Tuesday, Sir Charles
Russell informed the court that Mr..
Parnell had insructed him to no longer
represent him before the commission.
This action, on the part of the Irish
leader, grew out of the action Of the
opposing counsel in postponing Mr..
Parnell's denomination for three
months. Mr.. Parnell asked the court
in person to have the cross-examination
taken up at once. But no satisfaction
was given him By the court. This is a
point on which all fair minded people
will agree viz: that the Parnell Com
mission was institututed to bankrupt
Parnell and all the Irish members who
sympathized with him. For months
this commission has been in session,
ostensibly for the purpose of proving
charges against the Irish Nationalist.
but for no other purpose than to de-
plete the Parnell defence fund. This
body had done its work when Pigott
threw up both hands and left the
country and afterwards committed
suicide. The charges had fallen fiat, but
the Government, which was behind the
London Times to smirch the character
of MIR, Parnell, refused to let go, and so
the case may continue before Justice
Hammer for many months vet. The
people of the civilized world however
have given their verdict and that is
strongly against the commission.

some of the many disadvantages of
being Catholic in ireland during the
penal laws, are summarized by con-
temporary as follows: Q) The Cath
olic peers were deprived Of their right
to sit in parliament: (2) Catholic gen.
tlemen could not be elected members
eff parliament; Isl Catholics were de-
MED the liberty of voting. and were ex-
cluded from all offices Of trust; ~ they
were fined $500 month Tor absence
from Protestant form Of worship: Isl
they were forbidden to travel five miles
from their homes, to keep arms, to
maintain suits at law or to be guardians
or executors; (6) any two justices Of the
peace could call any man over sixteen
years of age before them and if he re-
fused to adjxre the Catholic religion
they could bestow his property on the
next of kin; (7) no Catholic could en-
ploy q Catholic schoolmaster to educate
his children. and if he sent his child
abroad for education he was subject to
fine OF $500 and the child could not
inherit any property, either in England
or Ireland; (S) any Catholic priest who
came into the country should be hanged;
(9) any Protestant suspectlng any other
Protestant of holding property in trust
for any Catholic might file bill
against the suspected trustees and take
the estate or property from them; (I0)
any Protestant seeing a Catholic tenant
at will on fam, which in his opinion
welded one-third more than the yearly
rent, might enter on that farm and by
simply swearing to the fact, take possess
sion; ny any Protestant might take
away the horse Of a Catholic, no matter
what it's value, by simply giving him
$50; (l2) horses and wagons belonging
to Catholics were in all cases seized for
the use OF the militia; (l3) any Catho-
lie gentleman's child who became a
Protestant could at once take possession
of the title of his fathers property.

TIE underground conduit question
is still above ground and it's ghost is
frequently heard in the council cham Der
at the city hall. The Northwestern
Telephone Exchange Company refuses
to go into the Dorsett system. and now
wants to string wires overhead on street
corners and through alleys. There is
an ordinance which has never been re-
pealed, and which says that no wires
can be strung overhead after July 1,
1889, inside the fire limits. This Or"
dinance the council committee on
underground conduits has seen lit TO
overlook by giving the Telephone Com
pany the right to string wires overhead
for new subscribers. This is wrong.
This company has had as much time as
any OF the other companies to get it's
wires underground, but it refused to
use the Dorsett system because they
said it was no good, and they continued
postponing the matter until the lease
given them by the council had expired.
They had three years in which to get
their wires down, and they did nothing.
There is no excuse for such unnecessary
delay, and The company is alone to
blame in the matter. 1t the council
had any backbone, 1t would see that all
these overhead wires disappear after
Dec. next, as provided in the general
ordinance, or have the poles cut down.
If the latter were down the company
would make haste and do what it ought
to have done long since.

From Our Daily Contemporaries.


Star: One of the Prohibition orators
yesterday said that the Big -Four il op-
position to Prohibition consisted OF The
Tribune. Pioneer Press, Bob Ingerson
and the Devil. 1t is a noteworthy fact
that the Devil is made the junior part
ner in the combination.
Globe: The Evening Guesser made
painful stab at the June tax settlement
last night, and succeeded in making
more errors than the base ball team on
an off day. Nearly every item was
wrong, and the total of taxes coming to
the city was figured out little matter
of $4,000 less than it really is, and
other bulls of similar nature We're
made A great snap is evening jour hal
ism.
Tribune: The Evening Journal has
been forced to swallow it's lies that the
population of Minneapolis has decreased
during the last IL months. How to ac-
count for the publication of such a no.
torious falsehood in the columns of any
loyal and reputable newspaper is a
complete mystery. Probably at no time
since Minneapolis entered upon her
phenomenal career Of growth and pros
perity has a greater and more pernlcious
libel upon her fair name made it's ap-
pearance IN any paper soliciting the
patronage of her citizens and business
men. Nothing has ever been published
by Minneapolis paper which was cal
culated to 1njure her private and public
credit more seriously, drive away for
eign capital and stide incipiont enter
prizes more effectively. The Journal
and other evening papers haye, IN fact,
heralded to the world that the growth
of Minneapolis is at an end-that the
city now has entered upon a period Of
retrogression and decay.
Journal: Judge Shaw, in communi-
cation to the Journal yesterday,
punched big hole and let big food
of broad daylight clear through the
argument of the Tribune and other
friends of the street railway monopoly
that a passage of an ordinance IN favor
of Anderson & Douglas would result in
vexatious litigation, which would be
calculated to delay the Improvement of
the street railway system, and result in
the infection of loss upon the city as
we'll as upon both the old company and
the new. He suggested that If the
street railway company were sure of
their position and really believed that
they had the monopoly of the street
railway business. they would be very
glad to have Anderson & Douglas go
ahead and build their lines, or part OF
them. There would be time enough to
demonstrate in the courts that the old
company's franchise is exclusive for all
kinds Of power, after which, Anderson
& Douglas, not being able to make any
use Of their plant, would be forced to
sell the work they had already done and
the road they had already built at any.
figure the old company might see fit to-
give. That would be soft snap for the
Minneapolis Street Railway company,

the projectors Of the new street car

men, few evenings ago, and the new
company's representatives told the al

avenue to Ninth street, down Ninth
