BURKE RAMPANT.
DIR. Aier Compelled TO Listen to n
Tirade.

Tir1de.
during the noon recess of the house
yesterday an exceedingly nervous man.
with angrily twitching golden whis-
kers, wearing aristocratic spectacles
and terrifying air, was observed to
be talking excitedly to the cool and
dignified Dr. Tier, of Minneapolis.
On inquiry the GLOBE reporter
learned that the angry man was a Mr..
Burke. In effect he asserted that a
certain resolution had been stolen from
the speakers desk last Friday morn
ing by member of the house from
Mlnneapolis-or that the latter had
caused 1t to be stolen. Mr. Burke also
wanted 1t distinctly understood, so he
told Or. Tier, that Representative Rob-
BINS, of Minneapolis, must apologize
10 MIN Tor something said on the floor
OF the house. He also remarked, with
a vimful wag of the head, that the Bre-
Wig resolution, looking to the impeach-
ment of Bank Examiner Kenyon and
GOV. Clough, must be PASSED or he will
denounce the legislators as being
bribed and corrupted. Also, he wanted
the doctor to know that later on he
: (Mr Burke) will seek to Inaugural tie
an investigation of the grain and ele-
Vator business of Minnesota
DR.. Tier listened with patience and
urbanity to the accusations and de-
nunciations of the four-eyed nemesis
of alleged crooked financiers, then pro-
ceeded to his seat, and, with his feet
elevated on the desk, ruminated on
the possibility of inducing some gen.
erous mortal to give him an easy VIC

medicines.
