Aid. F. c. Barrows, whose Republic
anism is unqueStioned, is converted to
the belief that if c. N. Foote should
happen to be elected mayor of Mime
apoliS he would AT least represent
the city of Minneapolis upon dress
parade occasions with dignity and
grace. The alderman attended the
waterworkS convention at Chicago. and
Mr.. Foote presided at the banquet as
POSTMASTER. ''He caught 'em ALL"
says Mr.. Barrows, land was
proud that he was a Mime
apolitan, for lie certainly acquitted
himself with great credit, aud if he was
mavor he would be an honor to the city
upon public occasions" The alderman
sighed here, and although he didn't say
so. it was clear to see that the contrast
of Foote'S graceful eioquence with that
of a certain Republican mayor who
reads a statement when he IS called
upon to extend welcome to the city,
or is else suddenly attacked by sickness,
or IS called out of town whenever there
Is an occasion to represent the city.
There is at least one season of the
year when President Cyrus Northrop
might be justified in thinking himself
the only really great man on earth.
From the first speaker upon class cay
to the last at the commencement dinner
people were led to believe that to him
was owed all the credit for the honors
attained by the graduating class. Some
few Of the graduates attempted to give
credit to their own particular members
of the faculty, but as rule they were
simply tolerated. Truly Cyrus is mon
arch Of all he surveys.
The community at large should not
forget that forty bachelors of law were
turned loose at the university yester-
day, each armed with the necessary
sheepskln. Back doors should be
locked and business circles placed in
state of siege.
Where now are the Iegions who al
WAYS knew that the Minneapolis team
could not play ball little bit, and never
for an instant believed that it would
stand ghost of a show for the pen
nant? And Duke stays at home and
whistles that popular air, "And Went
With Him."
1t is feared that the Minnesota uni
Versity is entering upon decline. Not
one of the young orators had the temer-
ity to tackle a question which even the
board of trade once took rap at-the
tariff matter.
Again has the Minneapolis team been
victorious on the diamond and move
ment is on foot to deed the city over to
MOrton'S men when they return.
There are this morning fifty-fve
earnest Young men and women who are
inf world
who believe they can do it. Six months
hence, barring accidents, there will be
fifty-tive earnest young men and women
intent upon earning living (or letting
papa do it,, while the wicked old world
will roll along and smile as Sardonically
as Of yOre.
The w. C. T. U. has missed the OPP
pcrtunity Of its existence. The paucity
of prisoners in the county Jail should
have been ascribed by that organization
to the dread which criminals have of
entering that horribly kept house of
detention.
The Journal Sagely remarks that the
Episcopal clergymen are remarkable
for their dignity, but it is not sur
prising fact that they should be, when
it is considered sensatiOnaliSm has no
place among the earnest, hard working
EpiscOpalions.
Although it is understood that Col. r.
G. Benton had been decided upon as
Judge Rea'S successor, the colonePs adj
vance seems TO be meeting with gall
ing croSS-fire.
GLOW to Win on a Sure Tip" should
have been part Of that commencement
Grafton on the Race Problem" 1t
would certainly have been more prac-
teal.
The board of education yesterday de-
cided that thirty-eight weeks should
hereafter constitute a school year.
Most of the scholars and many Of the
teachers would be better pleased if the
vacation was to last thirty eight weeks.
Now that the telephone and electric
light companies have really commenced
to put few of their wires underground,
it remains to be seen whether some of
the aldermen won't suggest that the
time in which the work is to be COM
pleted be extended until 1891.
The Evening j bowls editorially
against the farmers Sub-treaSury bill,
and says the government is not i'll po-
sition to go into the loan and brokerage
business, and the same issue contains
thirty-one advertisements of chattel
mortgage men. Does the "Only one
cent a word" column dictate the editor
ial policy of that paper?
