MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

NOIE AND COMMENI.
If the GLOBE had been the author of
the following editorial comment, doubt
less there might have been a protest
that 1t was tlnctured with prejudice
from st. Paul standpoint. Coming,
however, from an intensely loyal Min
neapolis paper, it should commend it.
self to the members of the bar.
Judge Hooker ha. Suspended a Minneapo--
lis attorney from practicing i'll the courts OF
Minnesota tor ''wilful misconduct i'll his pro-
fession." Without pretending to express an
opinion upon this particular case, the IT'D
une would like to remark that there are sew
eral attorneys practicing at the Hennepln
county bar who are thieves and scoundelS,
and whose unprofessional conduct is the
common talk of lawyers. 1t is to the disgrace
OF the profession that these men are
not expelled from the bar. Their position
enables them TO prey upon the poor ana
helpless. The strong and reputable mem.
bers of the bar who tolerate the presence OF
these sharpers as lawyers in good standing,
ought to be ashamed of themselves, The
profession in this locality seems obstinately
determined not to purge itself. There are
few crimes that lawyer could commit IN
violation of professional honor that would
arouse the Hennepin county bar to any &C
on.-Minneapolis Tribune.
1t need not be added that the above
Is as "true as preaching" The reput-
able members of the bar of Hennepln
admit itand regret it.
Samuel Hill has written communl-
cation TO the papers OIL the census
trouble, which should receive attention
If only because he is candid. and means
to be fair minded. His view may not
accord with the majority, bat he should
have credit for honesty of purpose and
willingness to declare himself at
time when some prominent politicians
find it convenient to be quiet, and allow
the pothouse element to do most of the
talking.
The Tenth Ward Improvement asso-
citation wants Lyndale avenue wldened
to 100 feet and turned into boulevard,
and proposes to utilize the inmates OF
the WOrkhouSe to do the work. Inc
Tenth Ward doesn't want very much.
Nellie King, the female detective, has
turned up again, and as usual she is in
trouble. Nellie got married and then
tried to kill herself. 1t might have been
better if she had made the attempt first,
especially if she had succeeded.
Now that Gen. Netteton has been
given a good birth in the treasury de-
partment few of the boys who did all
the hard work around election time
have made up their minds that the party
is grateful-very grateful.
Tie evening jay sets up dreadful
howl because policeman ordered its
water barrel off the sidewalk. Why
don't Editor McLain fill it full of beer?
That would catch even a Minneapolis
policeman and the barrel might be
allowed to remain.
One OF the churches announces a
''hidden treasure" as part of its enter
tainment for this evening. There's
nothing very remarkable about that.
Almost every man in Minneapolis has
been searching for hidden treasure all
his life, and few Of the ''oldeSt citi-
ZenS" have found it.
So the Chicago contractors are "wet-
ting down" the Western avenue pave
ment to tighten it up. Well, there's
nothing very strange in that. That is
generally the way the Minneapolis
aldermen are treated when they go to
Chicago ION business"
The Northsiders are bestirrlng them
selves, and are making strenuous eff
forts to have their share of parks and
boulevardS. The scheme proposed by
the Tenth Ward Improvement aSSocia-
ton is good one. and if the gentlemen
interested use every effort, 1t is proba-
BILE that they will secure what they are
after.

summer opera companies. News comes
to Minneapolis that the Hess company
Is in the throes of discord. This is
probably due to the recent heated term,
combined with the high quality and
eheapnesS of MilWauKee'S favorite beV-
erage.
The banana peddler of Minneapolis
seems to be power in the land. Some
time ago the police began 10 order these
gentry to 'mOve Oh" and now the COM
mission men and other friends of the
baniShed sons of Italy, are making
loud roar, because they claim that it
does not help the fruit trade. 1t GER
tainly does seem as if every act COM
mitted by the present unpopular admin
istration, is bound to call for a kick
from large proportion of the citizens
of Minneapolis.
The base ball aspect in Minneapolis is
anything but settled. No player feels
safe, and each position is played some
what on suspicion. 1t is death blow
to good team work, and local patrons
hope that the team will soon have its
men placed so that ball games can again
be seen in which the men work to-
gether.
