PERTINEN SAYINGS.

Aid. E. NJ. Johnson-rhe surest way
to prevent economizing by removing
lights is to refer each one in question 10
the alderman of the ward in which tie
light is situated. We tried that once,
and had the devils own time. You'll
never get anything done in that way.
An alderman never can see that light
in his ward is SupertiuouS, and by re-
ferring these matters in that way we
have got all these lights which we do
not need.
A Minneapolis physician: "There is
a good deal more being done in the anti
Catholic move in Minneapolis than peo-
pie think for. It's all mighty quiet, but
| tell you things are moving just the
same. I've been there and | know,
too"
Rev. DR.. Burrell. on being questioned
as to his idea of the action taken by the
liberals in organizing an auxiliary to
the Liberal league: LAS far as their in
f1uence is CONCERNED it can do little
harm, as they are so few i'll numbers.
AS TO their desire TO have the church
ard state wholly separate, we stand on
the same ground; as to their de
mand that the Bible be removed
from the public schools, churches be
taxed and chaplainS removed from the
army and Legislatures bodies it would
be of little consequence if they gained
their point, but they are SO few in num-
bers there is no possibility of it. If
this is bona iide branch of the."Lib-
eral league" it is nasty, dirty" af-
fair. and respectable people will not be
likely to touch it. This is the ofganiZa-
ton that petitoned our national legis-
lature to repeal the law against the cir
culatiOn of obscene literature through
the United States mails. 1t also petl-
toned for pardon of ID. n. Bennit, sen
fenced to the penitentiary for term of
ten years for sending dirty pictures to
school girlS-the dirtiest sounded ever
inside those doors. The good people of
Minneapolis will scarcely have any
thing TO do with so mal0dorous thing.
Superintendent of Schools Warren
Any one of the more than 100 school
boards OF Henpepin county can change
temperance text books every week II 1T
be their pleasure, and without consult
ing any one. The county superintend-
ent can only recommend change just
as any other book may also be changed
at the pleasure of school boards, except
those OH the state list: they cannot be
changed for fifteen years from the time
the J" passed. but may be revised after
years, under the direction of the
state superintendent
w. F. BrOwnee-It is not often that
] feel like expressing myself with any
alarming degree of force, but just now
am of the opinion that could use a
number of swear words and ''never
turn hair" as the expression goes.
Here l am drawn OIL jury at the dis
trlct court, and in the name of common
sense, | want to ask how | can SIT on
jury and do the managing editor act on
the Evening journal.
pJailer Kelly-In nv opinion Pete Bar
rett and his two companions meant to
escape Sunday morning when they
made an attack on Jailcr Reilly. and lad
] rushed in 10 aid him, as the prisoners
expected would, they would have got
away. But instead, L kept my head,
and did not throw open the cell room
doors, as saw through their game in a
second. Pete was, think, put up to do
the job by some of his friends
