NOTE AND COMMENT.
Prominent Citizeu-Mayor Babb, you
ought to show the public that you are
mayor of Minneapolis.
Mayor Babb-I haven't the remOteSt
idea as to what you would have me do.
Prominent Citizen-Make row about
something, anything. The connection
of the police with this census matter is
good subject.
Mayor Babb-I never thought of that
before. Pll do it. My friend, you have
been my salvation.
And the next day in the police COM :
mission meeting the mayor declared
that the P. G. was boss of the police, and
acted as if he were boss of the L. Z.
The painters and decorators are pre-
pairing for picnic at Minnetonka, and
announce that most of the time will be
spent upon the water. Painting on
water is something of an innovation.
Editor George K Shaw's son will. at
the present rate of increase, take rank
with Charles ALI Williams glass eye

facture of brick.

wish that all condolences meant for him
should be put into writing, inserted III
appropriately labelled envelopes and
then dropped into catchbaSln.
The members OF the Cleveland club
desire it to be distinctly understood that
the club is not an organization of fat
men.
Jerry Coughlin believes that within
ten wears MINNEAPOLIS will have pOpu-
Iation of 100000. 1t would be unchari-
table to think that Jerry's sanguine
opinion is at all due to his desire to be
classed as a man who can make money
out of Iailroading.
One of Sheriff Eyes deputies took a
mean advantage of Mrs. Redding by
going to her back door in order to serve
a subpoena. No woman can resist the
prospect of a gossip with the grocery
man or the butcher offered by knock
at the back door.
A man named Hay is United States
attorney for the district OF Minnesota.
Despite this fact MinneapoltanS stOutly
affirm that the United States attorney is
no relation whatsoever to the man of

The cantata, "Who Killed Cock
Robin?' will soon be presented in Min
neapolis. In view of the prevailing
opinion as to the author of all iniquity,
the old nursery rhyme will be amended
SO as toread:
~ said Bill Murray.
Then all cried, '"Tis scurvyr'
An evening paper tells a narrowing
tale of how dog catcher stole canine
who had lost his collar, and then round
ly abused the capturer of f0ur-footed
pets. But one expression OF contempt
was left unuttered. 1t was not even
limited that this mean man was a st.
Paulite.
Rev. G. l.. Morrill, has set bad eX-
ample for his brothers of the cloth. No
one dares to contradict him in his state
ments about the wickedness of the city
because he personally investigated the
"tuff'' quarter. The preachers who dis
cuss nothing but eternal happiness be-
yond this world will have to begin some
investigation hustling else they will be
met with doubt.
Zion Baptist church has secured
new pastor, and intends beginning all
over again. AT last it seems possible
that the old promise of peace and good

boldly, that he did not want Ed Ste
vens. Is ST. Paul intending to try the
boycott on Minneapolis as Minneapolis
does upon st. Paul?

sition seems doomed to rejection. The
edict has gone forth that nothing, not
even garbage. must be sent from Min
neapolIS toward ST. Paul.
Assuredly Kirkham's power is OH the
Wane. His evidence, unsupported by
the testimony of others, is no longer
sufficient to send people to the work
house.
Now that Mrs. 7. B. Walker has re-
turned home, the non-partisan w. Z. I.
u. will again come to the fole, and it is
probable that the central union of the
partisan order will be obliged to look TO
its laurelS. When the mons find out
that the jubilee is to be political
boom, it is doubtful whether or not
they will lend their aid to the affair.
Since Milwaukee has jumped on the
Mill city with such force Oh the dia-
mond field, there are those who are
willing to give long odds that the Beer
n inic oh in n
nant race. Perhaps twill, but there are
many days between now and autumn,
and from the present outlook the race
will not be won in a canter, so that 1t is
long odds that there are four teams still
In the race.
The return of Sam Morton from Chi
cago is anxiously looked for by local
base ball crankS. as he is expected to
bring with HIM a pair of prize beauties
in the base ball line that will cause the
ewes of MinneapolitanS to open exceed
ingly wide with wonder. Sam says that
money doesn't cut any figure. and will
be 10 bar to the signing of the men he
is after.
Zion Baptist church feels lonesome out
of the fold, and will knock at the doors
of the Baptist union for admission. AS
1t is drawing near campaign season, IL

friend, John Day Smith, will welcome
them with outstretched arms and gather
them into the fold, votes and all.
