A BUSINESS COUNCIL.

The proceedings of the council in
to-day's issue demonstrated that the
city has business body of men who
give promise of disposing of munich
pal matters with ''neatness and dis
patch" No time is unnecessarily
wasted in wrangling over unimpor-
tant matters and questions of public
importance are handled with keen I'M
derstanding
The Mayor used every member with
entire fairness in apportioning the
committees and full satisfaction is ex-
pressed by each alderman with the
treatment accorded. The new men,
berS drop into the harness like old
feeders, and as they become more
familiar with their duties, it will be
but the work of few moments for
them to dispose of the accumulated
business from meeting to meeting.
The action taken looking to the
prompt connection Of water and sew
er pipes with all buildings on Front
street, is business with big B. The
constant digging up and trenching of
the main thoroughfare of the city,
as has been the case for the past three
years, is source of great annoyance
and inconvenience to the public, and
the street is constantly numbered up
with piles of dirt. The move is in
the right direction. The proposition
to purchase road scraper is one that
will also be approved of. 1t is badly
needed, and as money saving invest
meme it will prove valuable.
1t is to be hoped that Front street
will be paved during the next year or
two. Such an improvement would
give US the handsOmest street of any
city in the country, and would be per-
manent. Are we liable to have it
done?
The steps inaugurated last night
by Aid. Fowler to have the fences re-
moved from around Sibley Mound
Park, and to have the unsightly stables
and buildings removed. should be car
ried out, Were there even a remote
chance for fair to be conducted in
the city, there would be reason to
hesitate before taking this step, but
under present circumstances the park
should be devoted to the purposes for
which it was purchased. The race
course could be maintained in good
condition by the city, but the breed
ing stables should be removed, and an
air of responsibility given to a place
which could very easily, be made
pleasant and popular resort for all
classes of our citizens. A stimulus
would then be given to that portion
of the city, and the street car COM
pany would notice an increase in their
traffic. Ii

MAYOR WASHBUkNE of Chicago,
means business. The first order pro-
mulgated from his Office after he was
installed was that gamblers must,
move on" The Mayor informed the
crooks that ''if your places are not
closed by noon you will be pulled. I"
And he proposes to carry his threat
into execution. Here is what Mr..
Washburne said when questioned as
to whether or not he would be able to
stop the gaming tables: SIN case the
men detailed to do this work should
miss any place in which gaming is
carried on, and which shall be after

anybody else, / shall have that man

about this kind of talk which indi.

tant so thoroughly demoralizing and
disreputable as is gambling. 1t is a
curse to any community in which it is
permitted to exist.

FREE SUGAR AND PROTECTION.

''If free sugar is messenger of glad
tidings, why not other necessaries?"
asks an Ohio paper, echoing free trade
organs in Eastern cities. 'sWhy
shouldn't tariff reduction affect cloth
ing, hats, carpets, blankets and every
thing else in the same way?" There
is an old adage about answering fool
according to his folly, which tempts
one to ask this writer if brains are in
tended TO solve human problems, why
he does not use his own to answer his
inquiries. 1t Is such inquiries as
these, filling certain class of papers,
by which the minds Of large masses
of people are Influenced, and the New
York Press is led to briefly reply. 1t
says:
1--WE cannot supply ourselves with
sugar. We have tried it and failed.
We consume annually 80 per cent more
sugar than VIC can raise even under a
high protective duty. Sugar is there
fore non-cOmpetitiye article, and it
has been put on the free list, where
all non competitive articles belong
under the protective policy. We can
make clothing, hats, carpets and blank
cts to supply our own needs, but in
order to do it must pay higher rate
of wages to employees than is paid
abroad. This the protective duty en-
ables usto do. At tie same time inyen-
tive genius and competition in sales
keep down the prices of such COM
modities, and they can be bought,
grade for grade, as cheaply here as
abroad. They are articles on which
foreign competition would ruin our
manufacturers but for protection"

THE sudden disappearance from his
home in Chicago without the know
ledge of family or friends, leads to
the supposition that B. p. Hutchin-
son, more familiarly known as "Old
Hutch" is demented. 1t is known
that he lost several millions of dollars
recently in wheat speculations, and it
is feared that he is a financial wreck
He was last seen at Evansville, Ind,
and was then on his way South.

Minneapolis Journal: Mr.. Benjamin,
of Wisconsin, was so mortified over
the parsimonious So, 900 worlds fair
appropriation of George Peck's legisla-
ture that he resigned his place on the
commission. None of the Minnesota
commissioners have yet resigned be-
cause of similar parSimony here, but
it is enough to make them weep to
think of the little $4,000 they have
to bring out the luminousnesS of the
great North Star state. 1t is discour-
aging.

IF there is any reliance to be put
upon newspaper reports there are sew
eral presidential bees buzzing around
these mild spring days. First it is
said Mr.. Blaine would not object to
being struck with presidential light
ming. Then it is said Gen. Alger is
looking anXiouSly forward to the sweet
things Of the future. Again it is
noted that Senator Cullom is posing
before the mirror proud in the thought
that he may be looking upon the re-
Election Of a presidential nominee.
And now tits given out that Gen.
ClarkSon and Speaker Reed have an
optic on the chair now occupied by
President Harrison. There is one
thing which may console the people
OF this country during these newspa-
per CITATIONS, and that is that all of
the gentlemen named and many more
who might be mentioned are all right.
and would make first class presidents.
Let the newspapers continue to trot
out the ayailables. The woods are
full Of 'em on the Republican side.

Minneapolis Journal: Kansas will
raise $1,000 for the world S fair eXhib-
it, by county subscriptions, according
to the value of taxable property. Now
what is Minnesota going to do to
make up the deficit in her worlds fair
fund, effected by the parsimony of her
reform" Legislators?
Unless private subscriptions or
county contributions to the Minneso-
ia worlds fair fund is forthcoming, it
would be better that we make no at
tempt at an exhibit. With the small
sum Of $4,000 with which to make a
display, Minnesota, as compared with
other States, would loom up as pea
nut stand set in the center of an Or
ange grove.

THE celebrated Warner divorce case
in st. Paul, which has been before the
courts and the public for some months,
has finally been decided. Judge Brill
holds that Mrs. Warner is not entitled
to divorce. The Judge says that
whether the acts Of violence found
true on the part of the husband war
ranted divorce it is not necessary to
determine, for the recon citation fol-
lowed by the cohabitation is a bar to
any relief for prior cruelty.

A GENTLEMAN who saw Congress
man Lind the other day says he is as
'brown as berry" Asked as to what
Honest John was doing, he said that
he was setting out trees, fixing up his

1t is believed that John could give
"Our Jim" a lesson or two in agricul-
ture and then have spare time in
which to tell him some homely facts
about the tariff.

If they ask you to pay $500 for po-
