 The crusade against the Sunday newspaper, which the Minneapolis clergymen are new preaching, IS no new thing. It was tried in New York when the Tribune first lssued a Sun day edition. but the clerical boycott fell to pieces in few weeks. The fact is that If the preachers with to discourage work on Sunday they should antagonize the Monday news papers, all of the work Oil which is done on Sunday. The Sunday news paper is practically made up by mid night On Saturday; and hence the fol- ly of this attack. Ii. however, they wish to prevent people from reading secular literature. they viii have to banlsh weekly papers, magazines and attractive books-all of which come under the same ban as the newspaper.

In England the editor ef a newspa- per has no such interesting personali- ty as be has here. Nobody takes the slightest interest in him. No matter what the influence or circulation of, Q journal, the name of the editor Is rare lY asked for. The two notable exeep- tions, who prove thIs rule, are Sir Ed win Arnolc, of the Daily Telegraph, and W. T. Stead, of the Pail Mall Ca zette. or these two, Stead is by far the more notorious, for he has the more striking and eccentric personali- ty. The Pail Mall Gazette Is the one sensational daily of Londen, and many a sensation it has made. One of them landed Stead in prison and fame.

The sun is now about 100000 miles nearer to the earth than it will bn in the closing days of June. but as its rays strike the part of the globe on which we live obliqueIy its nearness merely mltlgates the filgldity of the winter for us, as it's remoteness in summer lessens the torriditv of that season.

Hay PURCHASES.
How They Were Made without q
COntraCt,

How They Were Made without q
Contract.
At the last meeting Of the Council
Mayor Hazard sent in message to the
Council calling attention to Section 207
of the new charter, which provides that
"the Council by an ordinance may
authorize any officer, committee or agent
of the city to bind the city without con-
tract in writing for the payment of any
sum of money not exceeding $780," The
Mayor then goes on to say: "This
change in the law has been overlooked
by your honorable body for the past
year, and the custom that obtained
under the old charter authorizing the
expenditure of money by Committee of
Supplies on mere motion or resolution
has been continued, when the law does
not authorize it, and it ought to be dis
continued, and supplies, instead of being
purchased by the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Supplies, should be purchased
in open market after publication OF
notice for competitive bids. took occa-
sion to call the attention of your honor
able body to this matter before, but it
has been overlooked"
Then Mayor Hazard refers to the pur-
chase of hay in the following language:
"On the 18th of November the Fire
Com mmissioners requested to be permitted
to purchase the hay and grain for the
Fire Department, after hay which had
been purchased by the Chairman of the
Committee on Supplies, at the highest
market price, could not be used by the
department.; and to that reasonable de-
mand all that your honorable body did
after reading the communication was to
order it fled"
Yesterday q HERALD reporter looked
over the books of the City Auditor for
December and January to date, and
found that the following demands for
hay supplied, approved by the Council,

Will show that one man presented twelve
demands, which amounted to $729 63,
and for the supplying of this hay no

advertise for bids.
Mayor Hazard, in closing his message,
says: 81 do not know of any remedy |
except to insist in the future upon strict
compliance with the law, which does not
permit the purchase of supplies or the
of any indebtedness by any
officer CT the city in the absence of an
ordinance authorizing them to do so."
