Now that the new cable question and
police commission scandal have been
worn threadbare by the local papers,
they can turn their batteries on one an

years directory will contain 1882
names, while that Of last year had "a, :

this would give us an increase of 49,
$50, with a population Of 100000 in
round numbers. This is a splendid
showing for Minneapolis, when all other
Western cities are complaining of de-
crease in population and the scarcity of
money. The daily newspapers. how

They will find something in these inno-

THE GABLE FRANCHISE.

The granting Of a franchise to Ander-
son & Douglas to operate cable cars in
this city, is still a question OF the future.
1t came up ia ali indirect way at q
meeting of the city council last Friday
night, but instead Of discussing that
question, or rather making a report OH
it TO the council, the committee on rail
roads submitted q report ordering the
Minneapolis Street Railway Company
to construct certain cable lines and
have them in operation within the next
two years, thus cutting the body, SO to
speak, out Of the new company's pro
position. This may look fair to some
people, but it certainly was not the
business of the committee, The An
derson & Douglass ordinance was re-
ferred to them, and it was their duty to
make report on that matter, and not
10 so far out Of their way to defeat the
will OF the people. The result was that

people OF Minneapolis are far from
being satisfied with the council in re-
jecting the new company's proposition,
and the aldermen, Who voted to main
tain the present monopoly, will have to
answer for their actions in this matter
later Oh. They will, however, have a
chance of ''squaring' themselves before

going to let the matter drop at the

A SUCCESSFUL STRIKE.

What labor can do when it is tho
roughly organized, was never more
successfully demonstrated than in the
recent strike of the printers on tho
New York World, Sun and Times.
The management Of these papers had
ordered g. reduction of 10 per cent in
the printers wages. Last Monday at"
Iernoon the men were apprized OF the
order Of the management, but took no
action then. They went TO their WORK
at r o'clock as usual and at 1870 an
order came from the president OF the
rD;on to stop work. The men quietly
left their places and filed out The
MANAGEMENT did what they could to
procure sufficient number of men to
I'll the places OF the strikers, bat they
were not successful AT midnigh it
was evident that the readers OF these
great morning dailies must go without
their morning papers, unless a truce
was effected. The management backed
down, the order reducing the wages
was recalled and the men went back to
work. How was this victory 50 quickly
won? 1t was all due to the fact that
these printers were thoroughly organ
lied and the few who were outside the
organization were not equal to the task
before them. If labor would ou]y toll
low the example set forth 10y these
printers, there would be fewer strikes,
and the men would be better off every
wav. This is an example that We hope

organizations, will take advantage OF

TEN A N'l'S' DEFENCE LEAGUE.

r. seems hard that the irish people,
after many years OF suffering, should,
at this late day, be Obliged to form a
defence league to protect themselves
against The ravages Of landlOrdlsm
which are bent on nothing less than a
complete turning out of house and
home every inhabltant, who dares to
raise his hand against the monster.
Nevertheless. such is the case. Evic
lions have become to be an every day
affair with these land grabbers, who
seem TO grow fat in depressing their
unfortunate tenants. The people have
been driven from their homes and
threatened with prison, if they raised
their voice against the will OF the o.
pressor. Their only relief remained in
organization, and now, at the sugges-
tions of Parnell, O'Brlen and other
tried associates, they are organizing
what is known as the Tenants Defense
League. This will practically take
the place of the National League. The
chief purpose of this combination is to
compel landlords to submit questions
of dispute between themselves and the
tenants, to established courts OF arbl-
tration. The league win also use its
power and influence, in stepping be-
tween the evictor and his victim, and
to prevent the wholesale DETERMINATION
of the Irish people which the heartless
landlords are evidently bent on. Arch
bishop Croke of Cashel, whose voice
and pen have often been heard In de-
fence of his unfortunate people, has
given his Godspeed to the new move
ment and MIR. Gladstone and John
Morley have approved its methods.
MAY this new organization live to see
the last relic of landlordism buried
never again to be resurTected.
