granger who gives ear to their syren

set of follows who evidently enjoy
-ood living and know how to make
other men ]ay for it. The lightning
man is a great student of human
hit lire. lie can tell at a glance when
in stakes the kind of dough that
will work. He is always in an ac
tive state of eruption immediately

humanitarian, a: devotes his life to
the iirand work of saTingother men's

these gentlemen who are now honor

our friends in town and country to
remember that luxuries always cost,
Now a lightning rod is an ornament
that we have never felt able to enjoy.
A brig'h*, three-tilled fork looks
well, pointing heavenward from the
root of a stable or house cupola, but

a hundred of no earthly use, we have
felt t.bligv'd to get along without it.
Of course we feel, as is perfectly nat

neighbors' houses decked out with a

our only consolation i- in the reflec

Minneapolis Tribune, .Tune 17th.
Have the men of Minneapolis
whose energy, spirit and enterprise
have made the city what it is, been
overtaken l»y a lethargy like unto
death? It would certainly seem so.
There is no longer any organized ef
fort in any direction toward counter
acting the influences that are steadily
and actively at work to once more
put the town in the second place iu
point, of population, business and in
fluence. It is not long since our
heaviest dry goods house was suffered
to fail and be blotted out. Shortly
after, a wholesale clothing house
transferred its business hence. and
now it is positively asserted, and not
contradicted by the parties interested,
that one of our heaviest grocery
houses, upon which the city has been
accustomed to look witli pride and
pleasure, is about to be removed'to
St. l'aul. Yesterday information Was
received of a pretty relable charac
ter, that the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad shops will be located
at Austin, and if the continued ef
forts of the /'iiiih i /'n s.-, I ''.it Kelly
and others can effect it. the head
quarters of the telegraph company
will be transferred to that point, up
on the accession of the new superin
tendent, which occurs on the first of
July. On the other hand, St. Paul is
getting the benefit of a building boom
consisting of many fine blocks for as
many business houses, and she is
realizing the promise made her in
respect to her depot and transfer
grounds, while Minneapolis is wait
ing listlessly, but waiting in vain,for
like improvements which have been
faithfully promised, but which there
is no apparent steps being taken to
provide. .Meanwhile St. Paul Is
profiting by the prestige accruing
from her gains and our losses. Un
less there is something done iu Min
neapolis soon, so much will be done
elsewhere that any efforts to counter
act the tendency will be vain. There
is no sensationalism in these remarks
or this conclusion. Let it be borne
emphatically in min i.
The Scandinavian Penisiiia is just
at present agitated over an outbreak
among laboring men. It is reported
that several thousand workmen are
(in a strike in Stokholm and serious
riots are feared. In connection with
this ill feeling, it is believed that the
recent fires in Sweden were of an in
cendiary origin.
A subscriber to a taper in Kansas
died a short time since, leaving a
four years' unpaid subscription bill.
The editor appeared at the grave and
deposited in the coffin a palm-leaf
fan, a linen coat and a thermometer.
Certainly a thoughtful act.
