NOTE AND COMMENT.
A wise man once remarked that the
path downward is easy. He was doubt
less prophet and foresaw the descent
from the Numidian lion-none genuine

A. j. BOardmau has not been seen for
several days. He is reported TO he sui

The report circulated yesterday that
man committed suicide at the union
depot because of the influence of the
Mckinley bill, was Il canard, although
the alleged cause would seem sufficient.

of men who knew what caused the land-

will now experiment with the skin
grating process. since he is "shy" on

scientists say that SOme of the char

the skin comes cling to it even after

The mask has fallen. There has long
been a well-grounded belief that the
Tribune is an English organ; now it is
proven. The lions tail was twisted,
and the Tribune roared.
Pu.le McOlsen, who lives at 10 b.
hemian flats, heard 4 friend say that A.
IL. Hall wanted to he city attorney, and
forthwith he began circulating petit
ton asking for the appointment of him.

Just one word to the Democratic
nominees selected to various positions:
uties who have both reputation and
ability. The Democratic party should
carry out its pledges 10 the people, and
should make the contrast with previous
Republican misrule as strong as posi-
Bile.
Some Minneapoltans went to church
yesterday, others cleared off their side
walks. Ask any man who walked yes
terday and he will tell you which de-
tachment will eventually enter the
pearly gates.
Col John ii. Stevens should have de-
layed the issue of his book so as to
record the outcome of the present cleo
ton. The colonel is the first citizen of
Minneapolis and has DOUBTLESS wit
messed many wonderful events; but it
goes without saying that he never wit
messed such remarkable election as
that which has just occurred. when not
single Republican of mucn prom
lnence was elected to office.
Frank j. Mead takes i. upon himself
TO repel over his own signature in the
Tribune the attacks of the Pioneer
Press upon the private and personal
haunts of the editor of the Tribune.
The defense is, however, calculated to
do the objects of its protection far
greater injury than the attack.
Hardly had the echo of the dull thud
of the election returns died away when
lonely figure was seen to glide in he
direction of the union depot and board
an east-b0und train. Inspection of his
passes proved he was one j. S. Van
Antwerp, and that his destination was
Washington, d. G.. This is the famous
political correspondent of the Evening
Jay, whose estimates" upon election
results in the Northwest have varied
all the way from 100000 TO 5000, 900.
Mir. Van Antwerp was found studying
over q New York Tribune almanac for
1890 as the train left the depot, and re-
marked that hereafter when he went
into the prophet business he would Sc
cure some other basis for his predic-
tons than the presidential vote of 1883.
The chances are that the new library
board will try 10 get along without the
services of the high and mighty Herbert
Putnam as librarian. This individual has
snubbed about as many newspaper men
who have not happened to be on the
staff of the Pioneer Press, and has at
tempted to dictate to as many people
what tey should read or should not

of an ordinary lifetime, and it is likeIy
that the impression that he is sole pro-
prietor of the library and its contents
will be corrected.
The Tribune yesterday published
cut of some man whose features were
unrecogniZable as "Our candidate for
1892" The Office to which this candi-
date is doomed not to be elected was I'M
named and was shrouded III as deep
mystery as his identity. 1t is conject-
ured that A. j. Blethen is the candi-
date, and that president of the United
States is the office. The matter, how
ever, should be referred to the Trib-
une's puzzle department. What news
boy wants the twelfth priZe?"
Up to date none of the supervisors of
moves on the political chess board have
risen to remark that the ebullition of
the political kettle has ceased.
