ON THE SIDE.

A prominent official In the city build
ing yesterday said: sit would have
been amusing to see what population
would have been credited to Minneapo-
lis had the Stevens annex been left
alone to complete the padding unmO-
Tested. l wonder how much more than
1000 they would have made it?" An
other gentleman said: Secretary Ber-
tram, of the dairy commissioners
Office, was not far wrong when he
drew cartoon representing the
enumerators of Paddville surveying a
map representing an outline of the state
in which he had stricken out the last
stituted the last letters of the name of
his city so that it would appear that his
legitimate territory was co-extensive
with the state. That is, he erased the
'sota' and substituted 'apolis,' chang
ing the name of the map from Mime
sofa to Minneapolis" Another gentle
man added, That would hardly be large
enough to fill the eye of the Paddville
enumerator. They have gotten through
with the territory embraced in map OF
the state and have gone over to Canada.
l wonder if they are enumerating over
there?"
A gentleman who often comes to st.
Paul for a days stay, said to GLOBE
reporter yesterday: Can you tell me
where there is first-clasS restaurant in
this city at which man can get good
home meal for reasonable prlce?'
Several were named by the reporter, to
each of which the visitor made objec-
ton, and said he had tried them with
out getting a plain, simple, palateable
meal. The cooking don't suit man
accustomed to home fare, and If you
call for a meal with such variety as you
like, it will cost enough to feed whole
picnic party"
If Mayor Smith thought the candi-
dates for official appointment would
cease from troubling after he had been
away from the city for couple OF
weeks he was mistaken. They have re-
newed their importuning with vigor
since his honor's return. The kind
hearted mayor doubtless often dreams
that he has enough offices at his dis
pOSal for all Corners and that he is In
Paradise, but only wakes to realize that
the office of mayor is not a bower OF
lilies, but is surrounded with duties set
in crown of thornS.
The subject of county politics over
shadows that of the census and all 9TH
ers as topic of conversation among
candidates for the various offices and
their lieutenantS. A reporter In the
quest of news of developments Ill the
Minneapolis prosecutions cannot make
much Roadway when he runs against
member of the st. Paul committee. par
ticularly if he is found in company with
a county official. They wont drop poll
ties even long enough to hear the latest
rumor of news of developments.

at the court house and city hall day or
two ago. when he was heard to remark:
at seems to ne the joint committee
wants to get rid of its surplus. What
is the use in running the side screens
out or in putting the screens on the out
side of the entrance? 1t seems to me
like an additional expense"
Said man yesterday who is well
posted on political events: when
James g. Blaine takes such advanced
views on reciprocity and Pan-Amerlcan
free exchange of commodities, it begins
to look like the Cleveland idea of tariff
reform will soon be so general that only
few money barons will be arrayed
against the people en- masse."
In discussing the result of the Far
mers' Alliance convention Maj. NeWSon
said: "Mr. Donnelly ought to have
taken the GLOBES advice and kept out
of politics. That is not his strong point.
lie has learned one more lesson, how
ever, and he will probably remember
this One."
