Certain Minneapolis papers. with
more love for gush than good sense,
have been devoting columns every day
for the past week to the recitation OF
the doings of Hal Reid. There is GER
tainly feeling of disgust created In the
mind of every Minneapolitan who knows
Hal Reid whenever the name Of that
unsavory young man is brought to his
notice. Hal Reid was pardoned from
the penitentiary and was, perhaps, not
guilty of the crime for which he was
sentenced. But the circumstances sur
rounding that trial show plainly that his
liberation by even semi-reSpectable peo-
pie is out of the question. His latest
escapade has brought him more no.
torlety but no more honor. The at
tempt to make hero of him is decided
ly bad taste.

Is the Political Reform club dead, or
does it but sleep? 1t looks very much
as if it is dead cock in the municipal
pit. The outcome of the Bracket
Maben case seems to have struck it
hard. Sam T. johnson asserts, III a
loud trenchant voice, that the club is
not dead, but his assertion can well be
taken with modicum of salt. Maben
is laying little law just at present.
likewise Giertsen. DR.. Burrell has made
haste to declare, with good deal
of earnestneSs. that he is not and never
was connected with the club.
On the face of the matter, it
appears that the members of
the club might as well sing their own
requiem and drop out of sight with the
traditional d. 9. {. Politics is bad
thing to monkey with, especially munic
ipal politics. 1t is far more dangerous
than buzz saw. The present admins
tration is all right and safe so far as it
is threatened by the Political Reform
club.
Is DR.. Burrell ill, and has Gol!ghtly
Morrill, gone out of the city? These
two pugiistically inclined, fgura-
tiNCly VI OlO SlOOA
have been keeping unusually quiet for
the past week or two. The rev.
erend gentleman of Westmin-
ster has taken pains to deny
the assertion that he is to
become ''rounder," nothing more. In
fact, the ambitious d. D. seems to be
kept busy denying. Whenever he I'M
dertakes to regulate the world on new
basis he invariably put his foot in it,
and there he is. All sorts of
rumors are Immediately started
to the effect that DR.. Burrell will
do this, that and the other thing,
and the doctor is forthwith forced to get
out his negation paper and write de-
mails. Such are the trials of would-be
world regulator. AS for Golightly, it
was expected that the honor and show
of affection that have been heaped
upon Bishop McGolrick would have
aroused the pugnacious Eighth
warder long before this to illumination
against the growing power of Rome"
and the danger to the country there
rom. On the contrary, not a peep has
come from the direction of Calvary Bap-
fist church. Has the spirit of the
fghtin' parson been broken by his fail
ure to create an impression?
