MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

1t is not obvious why there should be
any Eight" upon Health Officer Kill
vingtOu, especially by the new members
Of The council. He has made by far the
best health officer Minneapolis has ever
had, in fact he can almost be said to
have created the department.. SO great
mas been the advancement in protecting
ana improving the sanitary condition of
she city since he took mold OF the work.
lie innovations he has Instituted, and
the reforms he has brought about. can
be said 10 be but Only inaugurated, and
Tile people as whole desire that he
shall have the chance to at least have
another term, that he may carry out
what he has begun. The only objection
thuS tar seems to have been on
The part of some few people who Oh
lecteu To having their houses fumigated
after contagious diSeaeS. some auto
cratic doctors who have never before
been made TO literally obey certain
laws governing their practice, and Il few
aldermen who never consider the pub
lie good, but always their own lttle
selfish interests. One OF TINS latter
gentry SAID recently in the Tribune:
u think hllvlnSton is a good fellow
and the best health officer we ever had.
but think he worked against me and
he don't get my vote" If the oppoSi-
ton 10 the best health officer the city
ever had comes from such lofty pa
trlntS as these, it is about time the pub
lie knew it and came 10 the health
officers defense.
The rather startling theory is enter
tanned in minneapolis newspaper circles
that the Indian Messiah is not We-Vu-
kar-Co-N eco. Jack Wilson nor john
son SIDES, but is one "WOlf' Jones. the
celebrated war correspondent who ac-
cOmpanied William Henry Eustis to St.
Paul upau memorable occasion. Mr..
Jones left for the West some months
ago, armed to the teeth, and the theory
Is not altogether an absurd one.
If there are many removals from the
police iorce when the new administra-
ton gets TO working. it is presumed
that work can be found for the "bOyS"
Tor the summer and fall, at least, at The
exposition.
The immaculate Herbert Putnam, the
public librarian. cheerfuily remarks in
one OF lIIS official communications to
the Tribune THAT the element which
used the library for a loaing and doing
place" has disappeared and that "a
large amount of serious reading is be-
ing done" Mr.. Putnam evidently still
cherisheS the hope that the day Is not
far distant when people will not repair
To his library to frltter away their time
reading novels and newspapers under
the pretenSe Of recreation, hut will sit
down and study theology. or follow out
some scientific course OF reading. From
his remarks it can be seen that the peo-
pie OF estminster church made a mis-
Sul-r in, u p.,tr
natiuS DOnntlly and DR.. Burrell to lee
ture on How to Read, What to Read,
and When to Read" Mr.. Putnam
could have told all about it in much
shorter time.
Speaking of the library, one Of the
probabilities lis Il result or the election
Is that tile venerable and aStute A. &.
Austin will disappear from the library
beard as the member representing board
of education. Mr.. Austin will. OF course,
be missed. He has held office so long
and 80 much that it will be surprising,
If not refreshing, to miss him in at least
one office in the little official nests he
has been warming. Mr.. Austin has de-
voted himself so earnestly ami persist
entity TO the affairs OF the city AMI
county Tor 50 many long years THAT it
would be imposition to ask him to con-
tinue 10 sacrifice himself longer.
The Tribune should label the cut of
'Our Candidate for 1892 so people will
know who is meant. The Chicago Trib-
une is under the impression that it has
printed the portraits of three different
candidates at the head of its editorial
columns.
Passengers who ride on the electric
cars experience some rather mysterious
effects. One lady says she is attacked
by a violent toUthache every time She
rides Oh an electric ear, and another
complains that her hands and feet go TO
sleep.
Thursday win be the anniversary of
eX-President Cleveland's tariff reform
message. Republicans will please re-
member that the handwriting ON the
wall is still there.
