Olu men, young men, ana QlalupllS 1UlTs
And children, fresh from class.
Jostled each other, just to see
A strange cortege pass.
A stranger might have thought it odd,
That such a crowd should be
Thus gathered in the public street,
With nothing much to see.
But TO the Flour City crowd,
1t was a sight too sweet
Minneapolis hired men,
We're cleaning off Il street.
A well known Republican politician,
who has recently returned from Wash
lngton, said yesterday: II did not sup
pose any one seriously thought Mime
apolis was in the race for the national
Republican convention until got back
and was asked bv several What chance
have we gotY L know an evening paper
made some ado about pushing the
claims of the Flour City, but that
ing of its loyalty to Minneapolis
When the vote on the worlds fair
was taken Bob Evans came rushing
home all out of breath, and said he'd
been pushing the claims of Minneapolis
for the convention; had got the Illinois
men to pledge their support in exchange
for the vote OF the Minnesota delega-
tiOn for Chicago on the worlds fair bill.
When | came through Chicago, the
other day, [ had the opportunity of
meeting a number OF prominent men
who have interested themselves eSpe-
cially in the fair matter, and who
were at Washington during the contest,
and they we're highly surprised that
the impression should have been given
at Minneapolis that there had been any
nj iGH.. ~ thnJr
part concerning the convention. In fact,
they had never known that Minneap-
OILS was after the convention at all.
So, You see, all that talk on the part OF
Evans and few other politicians was
simply a little free advertising for them
selves. for which the newspapers should
have charged them good round rates,
It's all right for Minnesota politician
TO come home wiping the perspiration
from mis- brow and say he has tired him
self out working for this or that meas
ure. but at Washington he cuts mighty
little figure. and can only attract the
attention of Minnesota congressman or
senators, who consider they are forced
to take some notice of him, give him a
cigar, or possibly talk with him a few
minutes"
Charles r. Francis, the senior men,
ber of the Tribune'S repertOrial staff,
mOdestly declines the honor of being in
cluded in the galaxy of newspaper tai
ent that adorned the Masonic banquet
Tuesday night. and accuracy demands
that his name shall not go laundering
down the corridors of time in cOnnec-
tiOn with that notable event. In other
words, Mr.. Francis Did Not Eat.
"The committee on roads considers
the Laurel avenue bridge" is a head
line in the Evening Tribune. A care
full investigation, however, failed to
find such a committee. Perhaps the
Tribune means that a committee of
road agents will make the Laurel avenue
bridge their headquarters. The Trib-
une should be careful and not Tip OFF,
its friends in that manner. Why, even
the police might hear of it, and then
''the committee Oh roads" would have
to skeddadle Maybe this is another
one of the Evening Tribune's new in
dustries for Minneapolis"
Two more men were fined yesterday
for driving wagons upon the sacred
ground designated as Superior bOule
ward. Some day, perhaps, public

says keep off, and after going through
seance with the municipal court. in
which the spirited citizen will
naturally get the worst of it, then the
public-spirited citizen will appeal to the
supreme court for justice. and it is more
than possible that the supreme court
will knock "the law as laid down by the
park board" into SmithereenS. Then
the park board will howl and tell each
other how things are conducted in BOs-
ting. Then the pubic-Spirited citizen
will go down TO the municipal court and
demand the fine he has paid, and Judge
Emery will smile unto himself and re-
mark: "Henerie, pay the gentleman
The committee of fifty who are to
head the Peoples Reform movement
will be announced Saturday, and it is
said will surprise people. as there were
men in the movement who have never
been suspected of kicking over the party
traces before" 1t is just possible that
certain Of the influential Republicans
will identity themselves with the So
called movement that they can control
it and steer it in the right direction
when it gets to going.
The narrowing thought faces itself
that if Mayor Babb doesn't return soon
he won't have enough of his administra-
ton left to last through the balance of
his term.
Minneapolis this week offers hospital
ity to two famous Boston cOokS-Miss
Barnes and Joseph Cook.
1t is understood that the Evening
TribulatiOn in its efforts to emulate and
surpass the Journal will soon offer
prizes ranging from a years Subscrip-
tion to S2.75 for spring poem contests
and pOpulatiOn-guessing matches.
One of the two colOIed men who have
been hOnored ~ by an Office by Mime
apolis Republicans complains that he
has to do all the work in taking care of
the government building while some
body else gets the pay. Isn't that the
Republican theory of taking care of the
cOlOred man carried into effect.
That able lawyer and profound iurist,
u. Gold Frost, B. A, M. A., Cum Laude,
and presented to the world a valuable
treatise on Constitutional Law" AL
though it might seem from a cursory re-
view of this product of Mr.. FroSt's
genius that this is his first effort as an
essayist upon legal problems which per-
pleX some of the brightest and most
learned students of Blackstone. it is
not, as it will be remembered that Mr..
Frost is the author of a work upon
Legislative control of private corpora
tionS'' which had large gratuitous
circulation. Mr.. Frost's devotion to
the advancement of the legal profession
in addition to the performance of
arduous duties as secretary of the
Union league is highly appreciated, and
if Judge Lochren should be prevailed
upon to forsake the bench to become
the Democratic nominee for governor,
which will be equivalent to all election
of course, it is likely that Mr.. Frost will
receive the unanimous support of the
bar of Hennepin as his successor.
