The action of the city council on the
street railway franchise, the sudden
conversions of aldermen to the Lowry
side and the opposition of others to the
expressed wishes of their constituents
has created whlrlwind of public in
dignation, and never before in the his
tory of Minneapolis has there been such
feeling of bitterness and destestation
towards that honorable body. One
rather remarkable expression of this
feeling of contempt for the council
and it's action is in the form of cir
cular that was distributed about the
streets last evening. 1t is gotten up in
miniature form of an edition of the
Tribune of July 81, 1890, and purports
to be an editorial review of the condi-
ton of Minneapolis one year hence. 1t
complains of the meddlesome people
who have succeeded by constant en-
deavor in bringing some of our citizens
to an unworthy end. One alderman,
who was prominent as Lowry adherent
is represented as having fled to Canada
to enjoy his Doodle in exile. HE ar
rived here several years ago." the circu-
lar goes on to say, land began immedl-
ately to lay up treasures by borrowing
10 cents from his friends to get drink.
He was picked up and helped out by his
friends, who now, because he has seen
fit to better his condition when he
had a chance, is now compelled to
stop In cool and chilly Canada.
II is disgrace, and we wish right here
to utter our condemnation of such
things. AS for Ole johnson. in Sweden
he could not do as he wanted to, but
here he can and did, and it is shame
that he should have to lie in dungeon
cell when he could just as well stay at
home and lie, and enjoy the fruits of
Minneapolis is putting Oh such airs, for
we see no reason why they should
put boodlers and bride acceptors
in jail just because New York city does.
1t is coming to a pretty pass when
people think they have anything to say
about running this city. By the doings
of the council they have succeeded in
reducing the population of the city;
they have returned thousand fold the
debt the city owes to that big-hearted
magnate; they have compelled the peO-
pie to walk, thus benefting the boot
and shoe dealers; they have made the
aldermen the richest men in the city;
they have saved the city from the
trouble of growing population and
its attendant evil OF idle men, they
have proved that cowboys can be i'm
ported that will work cheaper than its
own citizens, they have proved that you
can't run an ice business and a mayors
business land the profits have to be
made some way, they have proved
that two streaks of rust and a
span of mules is good enough for
street car line, they proved
well, they have proved that the next
city election will be a cyclone. and
the most of the aldermen who are not
serving time and breaking rock for the
great and glorious state of Minnesota,
will have p rocky time finding man
that wil associate with them. Its given
out that hereafter the street car fare
will bn10 cents to those who did not
favfH our ide, and five cents to others.
The, ond ;torS and drivers will be eX-
pect to ear blue suits to correspond
wits cir ceilings, and have their sala
ries q, de llete Oh account of the great
expensDr1lo past year, the expenses of
thousands of dollars. This is the only
medium publishing this news exclu-
Sively, and is a scoop typical of this
paper. Extra copies in wrappers, with
engraved cover. showing fine side
view of our gall, will be on sale at all
news stands sixteen hours earlier than
papers can be procured at the press
room"
The inhalation of the Tribune's
clumsy editorial style is rather laugh
able, and the endeavor has evidently
been made to picture that sheet as the
mouthpiece of the street railway
monopoly, while the imitation of the
Tribune's head is close enough to
heighten the effect of the burlesque.
