A FISHERMAN'S LOCK,
How Some of the Minneapolis
Boys Enjoyed Themselves
on June 1.
Some of Them Caught Fish
and Some of Them Got
Something- Else.
Everybody Has Adventures,
and by Hook or Crook
Brings Home Fish.
Calderwood, Allen, Weston
and Hutchins Have Good
Stories to Tell.
The fishing season 7in Hennepin
county opened a week ago, and now the
returns are beginning to come in.
There are several kinds of fishermen
—those who go fishing and those who do
pot being the most prominent— but
there is very little difference in what
each cf them catch. As a rule, tne man
with the most powerful imagination
gets the record for being the king pio
of anglers. There are also many places
in Minnesota where fish abound in dif
ferent quantities, and the particular
place will invariably carry off the palm
as the regal fishing ground which has
as its champions the most finished train
of prevaricators. The stories that fol
low are most of them authentic, and
Only lack the notarial seal to make them
pass before the public as the most per
fect of truisms. It may be that some of
the most noteworthy have been forgot
ten, but, if so, it is owing to the reti
cenoe of tlie actors in the tragedies.
Edwin H. Pressey and Charles E.
Wheeler went to Zumbria lake. After
depopulating that water of black bass
Sey adjourned to Halstead's bay, Lake
innetonka, and hooked a pickerel that
weighed something less than the new
postofnee building, but not very much,
as to prevent their being pulled over
board they had to cut the line.
Albert Lowery and George Eustis
went to Lake Minnetonka. Of course
they caught fish, and plenty of them,
too. Mr. Eustice caught one bass that
weighed twenty-seven pounds six
ounces^ He is sure that it weighed that
much, anyhow, although there were no
scales in the boat exceptjfish scales, and
the bass couldn't be weighed on them.
Mr. Lowery also caught one of the
largest pickerel afloat. He had gone
out alone and trolled for him. He knew
lhat fish was about somewhere, for last
year it escaped from Dr. Kilvington's
fish box. For a long time it was a ques
tion whether Mr. Lowery had the pick
erel or whether the pickerel had Mr.
Lowery, but a steamboat went to his
rescue, and after the fish had towed two
or three boats across the lake and was
about to climb a tree near the Hotel
Lafayette lie was captured.

ON HUTCHIX'S LINK.
According to C. C. Hutching, the well
known insurance man, Bush lake is the
one bright particular spot in which to
cast a line if you are looking for vari
ety, quantity and quality. This well
known local angler tells a tale of pisca
torial sport that would fire the average
angler to supreme longing. Heretofore
he had had but medium luck upon his
numerous fishing excursions, but Bush
lake broke the spell. He pushed out
into the rippling water early in the
morning and picked out a spot indicated
by the guide who plied the oars. He
was about to cast into the water with
one hook, when with a look of disdain
the Bush lake fisherman told him to put
on more hooks, and he hung his line
with a round half-dozen. Out went the
line, and out spun the reel, and Hutch
ins nearly fainted with delight when he
hauled in two bass, one pickerel, two
croppies and a dog fish. The sport kept
up until he was tired, aud he had to
hire a lumber wagon to bring in his
catch.
C. Clark and a jolly party went out
on the Duluth road for bass. They
took plenty of bait with them and suc
ceeded in securing some fish. The
members of the party all said they had

weston's buffalo.
caught them, and marvellous were the
stories that they told of the size of the
fish that got away. One was the size of
a sturgeon aud had on an accordeou
skirt and a white and black tennis
blaizer, As none of the female mem
bers of the tennis clu'js have been re
ported missing, the gentleman who
hooked that fish is unable to give its
name and address.
When Tom Moore and Billy Weston
go out upon an excursion with fell in
tent against the finny tribe, somebody
has got to stand from under. This pair
are adepts in the art and were never
known to fail of a prodigous catch
whenever they tell the tale afterwards.
The last trip was a hummer, and will
always be handed down in the fishing
annals of the state, not so much from
the number of the little animals cap
tured as from the tremeudpus experi
ence upon that day. Tom tells the
s' L ory, and Weston is obliged to swear to
it. They had been fishing, it seems,
with indifferent luck, when Weston got
a nibble. "What is it?" asked Moore.
*'l should judge that it is a buffalo," an
swered Weston, giving his undivided
attention to the line. Suddenly there
was a tremendous jerk, Weston braced
himself for a tussle, the line spun, out,
DAILY ST. PAUL GLOBE
the boat wheeled round, and Weston
went into the water. When he was
rescued he still held hold of the pole.
"Get him, get him," he yelled, "he s
a monster." He was got, and proved to
be a two-inch sunfish. The line had
caught on a snag, ar.d the whirl of the
boat haa upset the expectant angler.

TEAL GETS A BIG ONE.
C. B. Teal, of the New England Fur
niture company, took in Anderson's
lake. If there is anything Mr. Teal
likes it is fishing and smoking cigar
ettes. With him, the two are inseper
able. Charlie settled himself on a
grassy bank and cast his line into the
water. Then he lit a cigarette. There
was a sudden yank on his line, and
over went the rod. Charlie was game
and plunged into the water, he got the
rod all right, but the fish got away.
Then he settled down to hard work,and
besides getting sunburned succeeded iv
landing a dozen or more fine bass.

If,
AT CRSTAL LAKE
Police Captain Jake Heim did not
have time to go very far from home, so
he and two friends walked out to Crys
tal lake. Here they fished among the
sign boards, and besides securing sev
eral good (?) bargains in town lots and
platting a portion of the lake they
caught several good-sized suufish and
perch. Jake says the perch have driven
all the black bass and mucalonge out of
Crystal lake.
Everybody in Minneapolis knows Dr.
S. S. Kilvington, the lyenial health offi
cer, and everybody knows that when he
tells a fish story he tells the truth.
"Doc" has a pretty little place at Spring
Park, ana if the fishing ain't good right
off that point it is not the doctor's fault.
Bright and early in the morning he was
out with his party. They caught a few
fish, when the doctor discovered that the
box containing the frogs had been
left on shore, so they had to row back to
get them; but as soon as they reached
the landing the doctor found them
under the forward locker. How they
got there, of course he didn't know. As
there w^re three in the boat he sug
gested that his two friends take the boat
and he would take another one. That
was done. In a little while they were
on the grounds again, and Kilvington
hooked a bass. It would probably weigh
something over three pounds, but a
three-pound bass was not what he
wanted. It is a cold day when Kilving
tou gets left, and the Ist day of June
was pretty warm. Before the doctor
had left home he placed a small pack
age in his coat pocket. That package
contained five pounds of No. 4 shot, and
was to be used only in case of emer
gency. The emergency had arisen
when he pulled that three-pound bass
into his boat. Open came the fish's
mouth, aud down went the shot,
and the fish was dropped into
llSrS ' ~4 »«ll. "■$
calderwood's catch.
the bottom of the boat. After hooking
a few more, the doctor rowed ashore
and was soon followed by hi& friends.
One of them had a big pickerel and was
highly elated. "Why, I've got a seven
pound bass." exclaimed Kilvington.
"Nonsense," exclaimed his friends in a
chorus, as they eyed the fish lying on
the ground. The scales were brought
out. and the bass weighed a trifle over
eight pounds, and his friends never
"tumbled." It is very likely that the
shot will be used for geese next fall,
as the doctor posted the cook and she
very carefully laid that fish aside until
she had a chance to open it when alone
and dump the shot into a tin can. When
his friends learn of the deception, it is
probable that Kilvington will be called
upon to "set 'em up."
City Comptroller John F. Calderwood
went to Long lake. He and a friend

pulled out in i a boat, and John re
marked, "Now, if there's a fish in this
lake just watch me hook him," Hardly

had the hook struck the water when
there was a vicious tug at the line and
Calderwood's $20-serewed multipliers,
oil cup, sliding click and bal-handled
reel commenced to revolve at an alarm
ing: rate. "Wonder if I've caught a
whale or an alderman !" exclaimed John
as he commenced to put the pressure on
the reel. After ten minutes' work the
"thing" was hauled into the boat. No
one could tell what it was, but it was a
fish all right. It was exhibited to sev
eral citizens of Long Lake and Squire
Bailey
Of all the local fishermen, Dell Allen
takes the cake, with no rebate. His last
experience was at Jumbo Heights. Here
the finny beauties were said to attain a
prodigous size, and Allen was out for
heavyweights. He toiled for hours
without a nibble, an dbut for the case
of beer on ice, the day would have been
indeed lonesome. Finally there was a
fearful yank at the line, and Dell arose .
in his excitement and grasped his line
in a firm hand. He braced his feet, and
the boat began to move slowly, the fish
towiug him toward the shore. Just
how he finally captured the fish
will forever remain a mystery. Dell
says he shot him through the heart
when in shallow water. According to
his story it was a muscalonge weighing
fifty-three pounds, but a neighboring
farmer avers that he saw a mammoth
mud turtle crawl out on the bank, fast
hold of a line, with a man at the other
end, on that same day.
AX.L SORTS.
The progress and liberalism of the
world was never better illustrated than
on Friday night at the Grand, when a
young high school miss embellished her
essay with quotations from Boccaccio.
Several picnics have already been
postponed on account of the weather,
but the atmospheric conditions don't
seem to have much effect on the pleas
ant little outing which the Minneapolis
ball team is having.
"Yes, the girl must be a Bohemian in
every sense of the word, if she can put
up with that crowd," was a remark over
heard at the Harris the other night
during the performance of the "Bohe
mian Girl."
"I will never again, while away from
hpme. admit that 1 am from Arkansas."
said one of" the editors from that state
yesterday. "We are spoken of, on an
average, about six times per day in the
newspapers as the Arkansas Travelers."
It is not a strictly original remark,
but the force of it holds good when it is
stated that the associated charities'
money saving device will not amount
to much until the poor people get the
money to save.
William Lowry was arrested for
drunkenness, and in mentioning it. a
morning paper called him a typical
Bohemian. Here is chance for Manager
Egan to make another protest against
attempts to ruin his business.
Miss Helen Clare Pratt, of the High
school, read an elaborate essay on
"Sleep," and never once mentioned the
board of trade or the city council. When
will these students learn to be thorough
and exhaustive?
Several Minneapolitans who have a
desire to serve Uncle Sam in the post
office, are also anxious to be looked upon
as "Hale fellows well met."
Minneapolis sends a large delegation
to the T. P. S. C. E. convention in St.
Louis next week, and the brewers of
that city are preparing for increased
orders. Beer has a deadening effect upon
users of it, and the St. Louis people will
drink it, not the Minneapolis delegation.
Minneapolis boarding house cooks did
not attend Miss Barnes' lecture on
cooking "dainty dishes." She devoted
no attention to the preparation of garlic,
tripe and onions, saver kraut or Irish
stew.
There are still about twenty-three at
torneys in Minneapolis who have not
been mentioned for district judge. The
delinquents should get a hustle on to
themselves and come to the front.
Theorist— l tell you a man gets but
little honor and preferment in this
country unless he works for it.
Practicality —Nonsense. You talk
like a chi Id, Look at Prot. O. V. Tous
ley, for example.
When Judge Rea announced his ap
proaching resignation it was given out
that he would form a law copartnership
with Ell Torrewce and John M. Miller.
Minneapolis lawyers are now speculat
ing on what member of the new firm
will do the work.
PARK MATTERS.
The Election to Fill the Vacancy
in the Board Is Postponed.
At the meeting of the board of park
commissioners yesterday the election of
a commissioner to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Hon. E. M. Wil
son was postponed, and it Is probable
tl at the commission will allow the va
cancy to be filled by the people at the
coming election. At least that is what
Mayor Babb says, and it is understood
that a majority of the board favor such
a plan. In the absence of President
Loring, Vice President Haugen oc
cupied the chair and the routine
business was quickly dispatched. A
communication was received from E. A.
Perkins and others, asking that Lyn
dale-avenue, from Twenty-ninth avenue
north to its intersection with Second
street north, be made a boulevard, and
widened to 100 feet. They offer to give
the board seventeen feet on each side
of the street. The matter was referred
to the committee on designation of
grounds. J. H. Bradish notified the
board that people were carrying off
trees from the Moulton tract, and asked
that a park policeman be stationed
there to prevent further depredations.
The request was referred to the super
intendent and the committee on im
provements, with power to act. A com
munication was received from a
man in Stephen, Minn., offer
ing to the board three black
bears, "two shes and one he,"
five weeks old, at $30 each. It was
moved to refer the communication to
the committee on menagerie, but it was
buried on the file. The motion formerly
adopted to authorize Prof. Cleveland to
make plans for Powderhorn park was
reconsidered, and it was decided to re
fer the matter to the committee on im
provements. It was stated that Prof.
Cleveland would charge about $600 to
do the work, and it was considered alto
gether too much. Commissioner Nor
throp called attention to the need of
lavatories in the different parks, espe
cially at Minnehaha and Central parks,
and the superintendent and the commit
tee on improvements were directed to
erect as many as were necessary for the
accommodation of the public.

POLITICAL PABULUM.
Postmaster Hale Is Not Likely
to Regard Civil Service
Reform.
The Reason Why the District
Judgeships Are Not Non-
Partisan Offices.
Ward Polities Are Beginning 1
to Liven Up in Some
Degree.
Aid. Bradish Casts a Longing
Eye Upon the Probate
Judg-eship.
Now that Maj. Hale has been ap
pointed postmaster the public may ex*
pect to see some vigorous protests from
the business men because the plum did
not go to the gardener— Deputy Hughes.
But to heal the sores laid bare by his
appointment Maj. Hale has lost no
time in announcing that there would be
no change in the deputy's office. This
maj be balm for the feelings of the dis
appointed, but it is a question to what
extent it will go. It is also noticeable
that Postmaster-elect Hale tries to show
how he respects civil service rules
by announcing that there will be
but few changes in the office
after he takes possession. Maj. Hale
is a Republican of long standing
and that party's record is one of a
division-of-the spoils type, and if Mr.
Hale does not make any changes in
some quarters after he assumes the
duties of his office, it will be because he
cannot. He will make all the changes
he can legally, and the few Democrats
that are there now wiil find themselves
looking for jobs ber'ore the middle of
August. Hale's appointment fills the
list "of federal offices of any im portage
in Minneapolis. Maj. Hale will now
experience a little of what it is to have
the giving away of a few choice offices.
He may expect to be hounded night
and day by the friends and admirers of
young, true and tried Republicans, who
want to wreside over this or the other
department. It will be a great struggle.
For the time being the mayoralty ques
tion will be forced to take a rest until
the new postmaster has turned out all
the Democrats he can.

A little over a year ago President
Harrison was inaugurated, and [ almost
less than six months after, two-thirds
of the presidential offices in Minnesota
were filled by Republicans. Congress
man Snider seems to have done nothing
since he went to Washington : but get
his friends appointed J to office. To a
man up a tree it would appear as if he
regarded his mission to the national
capital for the purpose of turning Dem
ocrats out of office, and Jhe certainly
did a great deal of work in this particu
lar line. As for Senator Washburn, he
evidently figured harder to distribute
local offices among the Republicans
than has any senator from Minnesota
for many years. Both the Minneapolis
men at Washington have done their
duty from this • point of view, and if
any one can find fault with them on
this score he must either be a sorehead
or something worse. It looks as if
Minneapolis senator and congressman
considered the filling of offices their
first and all-important duty. Every of
fice in the state from district attorney
to janitor of the public building has
been taken care of, and that in almost
less than one year. If the Democrats,
when ex-President Cleveland was in
the White house, had acted so promptly
in turning Republicans out of office the
Minneapolis Republican newspapers
would have howled themselves hoarse,
but this is a Republican administration
and of course whatever the bosses do is
necessarily all right.
♦ ■* * * - '•
The Minneapolis Democrats who went
to St. Paul Friday to urge Gov. Mer
riam to appoint Thomas Canty to the
vacancy caused by Judge Rea's retire
ment admit that the governor is a very
shrewd man from a political standpoint.
His ambition was to create as little op
position to him in the ranks of the
Democratic party as possible, while at
the same time leaving the whole mat
ter in the hands of the Republicans.
He favored the selection of judge for
the district court on the non-partisan
basis — at least so he said— and for that
reason believed ib better to make no
appointment, as that matter could be
better settled when the county conven
tion came around. The Democrats will
not gain anything by this delay, inas
much as whatever they get, if any
thing, from a non-partison body will be
their own; and if the Republicans in
convention see a good chance to elect
their man to the vacancy created
by Rea's retirement they will
not listen to any committee from a Dem
ocratic convention. This has been their
custom in Hennepin county for many
years, and the party is made up to-day
of the same class of avaricious politi
cians that it has always been. It is cer
tainly unfortunate that the judiciary
cannot be kept out of politics; but the
fault lies with the Republicans. For
many years past they controlled Henne
pin county, and though repeatedly
asked to meet the Democracy half-way
in selecting judicial timber, they always
refused to meet the party of the people
on this basis. No doubt the very same
hoggish spirit that pervaded the Repub
lican system for years will come to the
surface again this year ; unless, perhaps,
it be that Republican laurels will be
harder to get this year. Gov. Merriavn,
in leaving the matter where he did,
acted wisely for himself— and the Mc-
Gill men do not like it.

Ifex-Gov. McGill pushes his candi

he will find some bitter enemies in his

fact that the rank and file of the party
do not want to see him back at the cap

blame for the drop in the ex-governor'&
stock as the ex-governor himself. There
are a good many young • and energetic
lawyers in the Kepublican ranks in
Minneapolis, and they consider that
they know as much about : the qualifica
tions of a man for judge of the : district
court, as either ex-Gov. McGill or
any other man. When McGill had ft
chance of showing some common sense
by appointing the choice of the Henne

Aid. Parry has given up the idea of
running for the legislature. He be
lieves in the old saying, that "A bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush,"
and so will content himself with his
present office for two years more. He
says he has several reform plans in
view which he proposes submitting to
the new council when it is installed in
.office, providing the board of public
works does not materialize. The ap
parent reason for not submitting these
plaus for public benefit now is that the
present council could not pass a reform
measure if they tried. Parry's friends
say he was the father of the lighting
scheme which Aid. Potter sprang on
the public a short time ago; that Potter
got an inkling of the Seventh ward al
derman's plans, and jumped the claim,
so to speak. Parry, like the other Re
publican aldermen, is of the opinion
that this will not be a good year for Re
publicans.
Aid. Bradish, though a four-year-man,
is fixing up his fences for the judge of
probate nomination. He figures that he
has nothing to lose and everything to
gain by entering the contest. The
county convention will be held in ad
vance of the city convention, and if de
feated for the nomination of judge of
probate, be can remain where he is and
poke fun at Aid. Parry for two years
more. His friends think he will be able
to show a strong following in the con
vention, but he will have a hard man to
defeat in the present incumbent— Judge
Bailey. Bailey's friends maintain that
their man will be nominated in spite of
all opposition, and that the more candi
dates he has against him the better will
be his chances. But this theory might
not work if they pooled their issues.

Maj. W. E. Haskell, if reports are
true, will try for a state senatorship in
his district. This is rather a small
plum for a man who thought himself
good enough to represent Uncle Sam at
some foreign capital, but then some peo
ple feel that it is a duty they owe their
country to keep themselves before the
public if they must turn themselves into
cigar signs. The major could do the
honors at the capitol in good shape, but
as for his usefulness as a legislator, no

THEIR NATIVITY.
Where the Minneapolis Policemen
Originally Came From.
The Minneapolis police force consists
of 199 men all told. In a cosmopolitan
city like Minneapolis the nativity of
the men will be interesting to most citi
zens. Naturally the United States heads
the list with 93, Norway and Sweden
have 31 representatives, Ireland 29,
Canada 16, Germany 13, New Bruns
wick 4. Denmark 3, Nova Scotia 2, and
Austria, Switzerland, Scotland, France
and Poland each one. Of the officers,
consisting of the superintendent, cap
tains, lieutenants and sergeants, the
United States has 9, Norway and

Canada and New Brunswick each one.
Of the 7 detectives, 4 were born in the
United States, 2 in Ireland and 1 in

THE LUMBER EXCHANGE.
A Retail Price List Presented For
Adoption.
The lumbermen's exchange held a
meeting yesterday morning, and re
ceived the retail price list which had
been prepared by the committee ap
pointed a week ago. The list was read
to the members item by item, and chan
ges made by vote whenever they were
thought necessary. The list as adopted,
provides for an average advance of $2
per thousand over the present rate, and
it is proposed to draw up an agreement
for each retail lumberman to sign, agree
to the rates. A penalty will be provided
and a forfeit put up to cover it, in case
the rule is broken. These minor matters
will be arranged at the meeting to be
held Tuesday morning.
The comnuttee appointed to canvass
the matter of entertaining the visiting
lumbermen, who are to meet in the city
July 9, reported that the matter had
been thoroughly discussed, and it had
been agreed that an effort should be
irade to entertain them. The proposed
programme is as follows. July 9, at
Hotel Lafayette through the day, the
business meeting. In the evening, a
banquet, the cost to be decided later.
On the morning of July 10 the party to
take a cruse about the lake by steamer,
returning to Minneapolis in the after
noon, where carriages are to take them
about the city.
J. B. Bassett hpnded in his resigna
tion, just before adjournment, which
the exchange refused to accept, and he
was finally Induced to serve until the
next election. The next meeting will
be held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
[I I IS J^/p/i(§^i?ii^ t&*
It is a remarkable fact, emphasized
every summer, the topics upon which
commencement orations aud essays are
built are, in nine cases out of ten, the
most obstruse that could be selected
from the whole range of human thought.
The reason for this is somewhat ob
scure. These students are not expected,
when holding forth on the "Philosophy
of Doubt." or the "Intellectual Devel
opment of the Nineteenth Century,"
to be voicing their own ideas or
opinions. They are simply re
hashing what several great men have
said, and it is usually a rehash which
does credit neither to the subject uor to
the person who performs the working
over process. Why do they do it? What
is to be gained by giving voice to a lot
of ideas, not an original one among
them, the meaning of many of which
the college orator has not even grasped?
Moreover, is not the whole commence-
ment programme, so far as orations and
essays, publicly delivered, are con
cerned, the outgrowth of the American
fondness for display and parade?
The taking of the census is progress
ing, in fact, it has progressed for a
week, and but little has been heard in
Minneapolis of objections to answering
some of the questions which originated
in the teeming brain of Robert Porter,
the superintendent of the census. That
there has not been some '•kicking" on
the last four questions, at least, argues
well for the amiability of the Minneap
olis householder. In the Eastern cities
there are those who utterly refuse to
answer . some of the questions, and
so great has been the opposition in
some quarters that the point . of
answering or undergoing criminal pros
ecution has not been pressed. In New
York particularly the enumerators have
been told to use their own judgment in
asking certain questions. Down in that
section of the world it is considered an
impertinence for Uncle Sam to inquire
"Is your house mortgaged?" "Are you
suffering from some acute or chronic
disease?^ Possibly this difference be
tween the East and the West is ; attrib
utable to the poverty and "effete ness"
oi the peoj?le,amjioor,

It would seem that the expounders of
the gospel should be able to find work
enough to do in converting the world
and teaching to men the right way of
living, without picking up for discus
sion, and afterwards condemning, mat
ters which are in no way connected
with religion, and which exercise not
even the most remote influence upon
morals. One of the most amusing
"breaks" witnessed for some time was
that of the Norvyegian Lutherans on
Friday, in relation to life insur
ance. The reverend gentleman who
started the discussion held that the in
suring of lives shows the world is coming
to depend more upou money than upon
the Lord. The reverend speaker may
be right as to what the tendency toward
life insurance proves, but the fact holds
good that many persons who have
placed their whole dependence in the
Lord have often gone supperless to bed,
while judicious investment in life in
surance has been known to provide the
comforts of life to persons who, other
wise, would have been in actual waut.
But, as regards the Insuring of a life
proving lack of faith in Providence, the
reasoning of Rev. Mr. Strand seems
faulty. Payments for life insurance
are the same as if deposited in a saviugs
bank against a rainy day.
It is proposed that a statue of E. M.
Wilsou be elected in one of the public
paiks. Here is an idea worthy of con
firmation. It would also be highly
proper to locate the statue in Hawthorn
park, facing the late Mr. Wilson's resi
dence. Surely if a resident of any city
ever deserved a statue from the munici
pality, E. M. Wilson deserves one from
Minneapolis. He was always a credit
and an honor to the city in which he
lived, and he did as much as any other
individual toward building up and
beautifying the same. If his memory
can be kept green by means of a statue
let one by all means' be erected.
This is just the season of the year
when the aspiring politician begins to
swarm. This year he possesses all the
artfulness which has heretofore char
acterized him. He is a cute fellow, this
politician. He keeps out of sight and
says nothing for a long time. Then,
some fine day, one of his friends bobs
up serenely and "wants to know, you
know," why So-and-So would not make
a good such-and-such, an officer elected
by the people. That starts the ball
rolling, and, ere long, the name of the
politician, who has ail this while been
sitting in his corner chuckling to him
self, gets into the papers. Mr. Office
seeker watches what the papers say
about him, and he looks upon that as a
reflex of public opinion, according to
which he shapes his plans. He is a clev
er rascal, but his tricks this year, so far
as seen, bear the same old trade mark.
The diocesan council of the Epis
copal church in Minnesota, which was
in session in Minneapolis last week,
established one fact: the Episcopalians
do a vast amount of work and say
nothing about it. The Episcopal min
isters seem to be hard headed, hard
working conscientious men, who are in
love with what they find to do and who
do it to their own satisfaction, without
exhibiting an insane desire that the
world know what they have done. The
Episcopal ministers probably do as
much for humanity as those of any de
nomination in the world; they
are probably as weighty men
in the community as those of
any other denomination; yet one never
hears of them constantly through the
newspapers, of their great achieve
ments, of their enormous salaries and
of their tempting offers— "calls" is the
generic term— from other cities. There
is none of the auction room claD-trap
about them or their work. Religion
and its teachers would be more highly
esteemed should a few ministers of
rival churches learn a lesson from the
Episcopal clergymen.
