MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.
The aldermen took look around,
To see where some place could he found,
That they might light upon. and show
The public, lhatils veal and woe
Was ever constant in their mind.
For many months they tried TO find
Some theater, or public place,
W here exits did not lit the case.
Almost. they gave up in despair
Nhen 10 they found q quiet .Air
Where dizzy night hawks loved 10 go
And reveI, for an hour or so.
AND thus alas-Oue place III town
VIII be done up exceeding Brown"
he eflervescent, gay Comique,
VIII close its -perhaps-neXt week.
County Auditor Conduit says that
''rOcky bookkeeping is responsible for
all the racket raised about the employ
ment of the Dual City Collection agency.
Isn't an expert necessary to Stratgnten
matters when the bookkeeping becomes
"rOcky?'
DR.. Kilvington is quoted as saying
that his department has already spent
500 out of next years appropriation,
and he wants more money. How would
it do to turn the city treasury over to
the health department?
Jack Mcconnell, the hustling super
visor Of the water department, attended
the single tax meeting on Monday night
and listened to the talk about coal. Jack
didn't learn very much at the meeting.
but he has given the Lehigh Coal and
Iron company to understand that when
the city pays for good coal ii wants it.
If Willard doesn't hurry up, by the
time he gets here the Minneapolis
Tribune will have written the Missls-
have its flow changed TO the opposite
direction, SO that the water power at
MeekeT island will be only a matter OF
tradition.
G. J. Buell. wasn't given an appoint
mcnt to address the Farmers alliance
at ST. Paul. 1t seems the grangers are
"OnlO" c. D., so to speak, and wanted
chance to do a little business before
they went home.
Harlow Gale wants the council to
compel everybody to go to his new mar
ket to sell their produce. 1t is hardly
likely that the aldermen will do what
Mr.. Gale wants, especially as there are
now a number of people who have paid
for the privilege Of peddlIng in the
city.
The festive burglar has tackled
husky fireman right in an engine house,
and got the best of it, too. Now Capt
Dan Day, of the Central station, is con-
Sdering the ACCESSIBILITY of hitching a
burglar alarm onto the police station for
sell protection.
Bill King will go East again in day
or so, probably, and won't be heard OF
for some months. 1t is hoped that he
comes back in time to take another kick
at the sham economy of the present city
administration just before election.
And now the SaloOnkeepers are after
the hyp0critical reform and Tetrench-
ment administration, and come forward
with offers to prove that some favored
two or three saloons are allowed to keep
open Sunday, while the balance are re-
quired to keep closed under the penalty
OF being prosecuted under law which
fOfeitS their license under second
conviction. If the present agitation
keeps up the people will find it hard to
wait until fall in order 10 GUST the adj
miniStratlOn. and will demand special
election upon the ground of malfeas-
ance in office.
c. a. Tingwold. prominent Repub-
lCan of South Minneapolis, left last
night over the Milwaukee road for
Washington, ID. c., where it is claimed
that government position is rendered
him in the department of the interior.
it is TumOrrd, however. that there is
some misunderstanding about his ap-
pOintment and it is not Snre thathe will
avoid the fate Of Gerhard GjertSen and
Frank Mead.
Comptroller CalderwOOd and Auditor
COndit have come together once. and, to
all appearances, COndit has won first
blood. If these gentlemen are really
DESTROYS of settling their grievances,
there are at least 800 hot and dead game
sports who would be willing To furnish
two pairs of twO-Ounce gloves and a
quiet barn out near Keegan's lake.
Several persons profess to have dis
covered a striking resemblance between
George Kennan and Old Citizen Man
blance between the two men, but it is
double eagles to piaStreS that KEENAN,,
Siberian explorer though he be, could
never do police for twelve years and
then find points of excellence in a re-
trenchment and reform administration.
Some of the signs inside Minneapolis
street cars are rather misleading. In
Bloomington avenue car are signs stating
that "the driver will furnish change to
the amount of So and that passengers
are requested to deposit their fares in
the box immed ately upon entering the
car" What are the conductors for?
The average college student is a brave
young nan and. like Shakespeare's
fourth age Of man, full of swagger,
bluster, strange oaths, until judiciously
spanked, when he recedeS 10 the first
age. For proof, vide Hamllne uniVer-
sity.
Ignatius Donnelly claims to have dis
covered a cipher by which he can show
how lie was beaten in the race for the
Farmers Alliance presidency. The
key is the figure cut by DOnnelly
before the Alliance convention, and
corresponds to the zero of Arabic nOta-
ton.
Rejected the Coal.
Supervisor Jack Mcconnell, of the
Minneapolis water department, is after
the Lehigh Coal and Iron company with
sharp stick. and he says he proposes
to hold them to the letter of their con-
tract made with the city or know the
reason why. The supervisor claims that
the last five carloads of coal delivered
to the North side pumping station
was not up to the standard established
