itself yesterday before resolving upon
the monthly meetings, to indulge in a
full-f1edged wordy war, in which sallies
were interchanged, fast and furious.
After it was over, some one sprung that
old chestnut about asking the reporters
to print nothing about it. What objec-
ton can the board have to letting PEG
pie know that it exists, and can do some
thing besides discuss national questions
that have long ago become subjects for
archaeological research? Were it not for
a few combative members, the board
might pass for body of church deaconS.
1t is also matter of note, that the sub
ject that called for the heated discus
sion, was mud" 1t was finally laid on
the table, probably Tor use during the
coming political canvass.
The base ball barometer was on duty
yesterday. and as crank after crank was
met. and the woebegOne expression upon
face noted, together with the gen
eral droop i'll his makeup. it
was easy to see that the Mime
apolis team had suffered defeat at
the hands of Des Moines. Suddenly
two of them met and claSped hands over
a pool of mud in the middle OF the
street, while the rain fell upon theirun-
protected heads. There was deep
sigh as they exchanged expressions OF
coincidence, the words came from them
in chorus: "Five to seven-l told you
So" and the April winds took up the
refrain and echoed it among the granite
pillars of the West hotel, while wan
dering dog dropped his tail between his
legs and laid down to weep in con-
Venient doorway.
The Vermont association will proba-
bly, assert that Gen. l., A. GRANTS APP
pOintment was due to the fame he re-
ceived upon being elected to its presi-
dency. 1t is great thing for the asso-
citation to receive such a substantial in
dorSement so early in its career, and
will probably be the means of swelling
the membership of the society consider
ably.
Mai. Will E. Steele looked as if his
hopes had received death blow when
J. L. Wyman proposed that the board
indorse one of it's members who had
been mentioned for the mayOralty. He
probably Judged by the boards past
record, and thought that the safest way
to insure success would be to have the
board oppose him with all its combined
strength.
Even the board of trade has discoy-
cred that st. Paul is better managed,
governmentally. than Minneapolis.
which speaks volumes for the state into
which the local administration has
fallen.
The Evening Tribune should use
more expressive signatures to its special
articles. "a Dyspeptic" could mean
any one in that Office, from the editor-in-
chief down to the office boy.
1t is surprising what large number
of people there were i'll Minneapolis last
night who "knew that base ball team
is made up entirely of 'dubS.'"
An expression of the deepest pain
fitted across the rugged countenance OF
Mai. w. E. Steele yesterday when the
b. of t. indorsed him for mayor. He
knew that his boomlet had received its
death blow.
Chorus of Agonized Republicans
"What's the matter with Blethen?" Is
he going crazy?
Again the clairvoyant reporter Of the
Tribune has been working on the even
ing edition. He has discovered that
Otto Hegner, the boy pianist, Will sing
at the First Baptist church.
The mask has been dropped. 1t is
no longer the Tribune-Star. The Even
ing Tribune it is now. The hyphen has
been dropped, and with it all that gave
a distinctive air to the tail of the Trib-
une dog. The change, even to the
adoption Of cattle-show advertisement
style of heads, is as complete as If the
Star had never shown. Although that
same star has been ecfipsed, it will
still undoubtedly contribute some
what to tightening the gloom of
the Tribune establishment. While the
evening edition is the tail, and now
covered by the blanket of complete con-
solidation. there is little doubt that it
will continue to wag the dog, as it has
in the past. This is but natural, as, i'll
the line of real newspaper work, it pos
sesses the larger portion of the ability
and talent of the consolidated establish
ment.
