AT IT AGAIN,

The Minneapolis ministers at their
meeting last Monday broke ont in a new
place. Now they want the aldermen TO
discontinue sprinkling the streets on
Sunday. It is very cold day in Min
neapolis when one of her ministers does
not pine for something. They touched
on the Sunday saloon and Sunday the
atre, and then were about to take lease
of one another when Rev. Wells started
a new ball rolling by asking the CO.
operation of those present to put down
street sprinkliug on Sunday. The
spanking administered Gol'ghtly Morrill,
by the public, the press, and lastly his
own congregation has not borne any
good results in the case of Rev. Wells.
MIR. Wells may be sincere IN his efforts
to make Minneapolis better than it is,
but we think he should take Mayor
Winston's advice, and let we'll enough
alone. He may yet get what GolightlY
got without asking for it, and from all
appearances it cannot come any too
soon. Minneapolis IS we'll governed
city Notwithstanding the exaggerated
accounts given by the ministers to the
contrary, and these sensational preach
ers may as we'll make up their minds
now as later, that they cannot wantonly
attack Minneapolis everytlme they are
suffering from an overdose of not enough
salary and the like. These ministers
come here with handful of household
hold goods, and a piece of manuscript
to stay few montos, and because they
are privileged to occupy some
pulpit once week, they think they
are thereby licensed to cry down every
thing in the CITY that is not as they
would have 1t. Such cheek is Of the
most brazen hue, and merely gives us
glance at the gall of the man who
talks as if he knew it all. DR.. Burrell
on the evening before he left for New
York had the presumption to get up in
a meeting and tell the people how they
should run the city. Yet he never paid
one cent of taxes on realty in this city.
Il is time that such long winded, high
sailing individuals as Mr.. Burrell was,
we're given to understand that the tax
PAYERS. and not the ministers, will run
the town hereafter. One of the most
effective ways of killing off such cranks
as Rev. Wells, is for the daily press not
to notice them. Such people are hunt
ing for notoriety, and the more notices
the newspapers give them the
more will they below. We know that
two-thirds what the newspapers publish
ed about Golightly Morrill, was written
by himself, andtwhen we look back, aud
see for ourselves the amount Of rot
published to please. this crank, we do
not wonder the newspapers have been
kicking themselves of late for treating
him as they did. Now he is unheard Of,
practically without friends, and in a
poor way toEregain his lost ground
We may expect to see Thin leave for
other parts where.he..will work the free
advertising game ION the daily press
until the newspapers--get weary of him.
It is such mensas Rev. Wells and Nor
rill that the dailytpress should pass by,
and LEFT 90 nnheeded They are
and should ibe' belowsthe notice of the
city's taxpayers. They are carpet
baggers. and Esbould.. therefore have
nothing to saYt about howIthe city should
be run. Mayor Winston has taken good
care Of the city. took charge Of
affairs, and he does mot propose to be
molested by ..such insignificant indivi-
duals as Rev. Wells. d Why not ask the
