MINNEAPOLIS,
NOTE AND COMMENT.

The ministers, at their union meeting
Oh Monday, took the right stand on this
Sunday labor question. They are doubt
less in earnest. The public hopes that
they will succeed. There is really no
necessity for the streets being sprinkled
on Sunday. Minneapolis has been fire.
Quently spoken of in ministers meet
ings and Observation-Disclosures
gatherings as the cleanest city
in the country, so little DIRT
now ana then really ought to do her
good. A certain amount of mlngllng
with the earth won't do any harm.
Then, when the street sprinkling has
been, stopped the reverend gentleman
will doubtless continue the good work.
That oft-repeated, shop-worn, storm
beaten proposition that all milk wagons,
etc. be stopped, will doubtless be made
to the ministers. The city water works
Will also be closed up on the sacred day,
too. If a main breaks and floods
building, let it flood. 1t is hoped also
that the ministers will labor with the
visiting Y. p. S. c. Z. delegates, and dis
Guade them from patrOniZing the street
ears next Sunday afternoon when they
want to go to the exposition building.
Ii may be wrong for men to do neces-
sary labor for the public on the Sab
bath; it is wrong for them to work Tor
private individuals Any one can see
what that would result in. Again, If 1t
be wrong for the children to work on
Sunday, it is wrong for the parents TO
work on Sunday. One of these line
mornings, after all the recalcitrant NOR
tails have been rounded up and com
PEELED 10 rest OIL the first day of the
Ia Cpntlpmpn will
probably meet, and draw up an illumin-
ated memorial requesting old Mother
Nature to knock off one day in seven
and 20 out in the barn for nap. 1t
might also be a good thing to request
genial old Father Time to give US a
rest" We would all live longer then.
The movement on foot to secure the
Republican national convention for
Minneapolis has taken boom since the
Y. p. S. &. E. people tested the re-
modelled exposition building. The
building now has seating capacity for
the largest convention that will ever be
called together. Then its acoustic
properties are of the best. Every word
of every speaker could be heard IN
every corner of the vast auditorium.
The men who formerly looked at the
convention SCOGlll6 INV
the most enthusiastic.
Is it possible that this movement to
prevent Sunday street sprinkllng is
only another way to throw dust IN the
eyes of the lay brother?
An evening paper calls the EXPOSE
tiOn building 'Oratory's home" When
was the city council chamber put upon
the ''for rent' market as vacant?
Lead pipe thieves have been at work
again. Maj. Henderson should instruct
his detectives to beStiT themselves and
get lead pipe cinch on these fellows.
Bethany church has appointed COM
mlttee to conduct a trial of Attorney w.
A. Gulick. If he be found guilty, vote
OF the church will be taken on his dis
mlssal. If he be found not guilty, the
vote will be taken, just the same. Hob
sons choice with vengeance.
Aid. Grimes proposition on the Mil
waukee tracks matter merits consider
alton. But, judging from the length or
time that elapsed before the st. Louis
and Great Northern agreed Oh North
side crossing questions, the world will
be travelling III Pennington'S air ship
before this latest crossing question is
settled.
