MINNEAPOLIS, April 8, 1896. This
town has wheels bad. The bicycle
business seems tobe the only kind Of
business which is enjoying unad utter
ated prosperity. Nearly all the empty
buildings in town have been fitted up
and rented for wheels. The newspa-
.pers run to wheels, as that seems to be
the most prosperous business to adver-
tise. Men who seem to pay no bills in
particular ride fancy and costly
wheels. Good roads conventions are
being held here and elsewhere about
the State, in response to the demand
OF the men Of wheels. They are going
to have model good roads and bicycle
paths radiating out from here to the
village Of St. Paul and other we'll
known villages in. various sections of
the state. We have bicycle operas
and dramas at the Lyceum, and finally
this week we have a week of bicycle
conventions and tournaments at the
Exposition building--all to advertise
the wheel business. We have 'em bad.

or Hastings. We have greater re-
sources for running such an industry.

4 Rev. David N. Beach is the new pas
tor Of Plymouth. He is said to have
been a war-horse on public matters il
the city of Cam bridge, where he has
preached during the past ten years.
Wonder if the proper and dignifed
deacons of Plymouth are going to per-
nit that kind of program here.
The mayor and the ''bloomin' six
teen" of the aldermanic crew are still
junketing at perhaps the Lord knows
who's expense. They got lost in a joss
house on the Pacific coast, and got lost
in China towns and mountain snow
banks at various points, but they have
retained their appetites for the com.
missary department., so the reports
come in, throughout the vicissitudes OF
their journey. By way of parenthesis.
I should remark that the journey is all
in the interests of the cause of ':muni-

|, Captain Van SAINT is still with u.s. It
may not be generally known, but the
captain has become resident. He re
sides, or at least he makes his camp,
on the Eustis trail The captain is said
to have swallowed up half of the re-
mote Eustis chances, and the remain

or astray. The Times is using its edi-
torial columns to advertise for the
same. The Times seems to insinuate
that the 100 crew Of brigands have
stolen William Henry's lost boom, and
have itsin their corral.

The Times, William Henry's organ,
loves not Sam Van SAINT any more, and
hints to- him that he can't play on
William Henry's cellar door any more.
The Times gets down to bloody bust
ness thus: From all Of which it is APP
parent that Mr.. Van SAINT could more
proftably employ his time and his en-
.ergies at home, than dissipating his
force and lessing his chances for the
governorship by spreading himself out
over the entire State and chucking the
committee of 100 under the chin at the
same time Mr.. Van SAINT ought to
have political shreWdness to under
stand that W hatever the committee OF
100 may have at one
time intended to do, it
is folly to suppose that the people OF
Minneapolis will elect delegates to the
State convention who will deliberately
and Without a contest surrender the
nomination for governor to Capt. Van
SAINT or any other outside man. The
