MINNEAPOLIS. TOWN TOPICS. It takes a long time for some m**n to reach their own level, but tin y a 1 get there sooner or later. When F. J. Dav enport was clerk of the district court he was worshipped by (he Republicans of Minneapolis, not because he was par ticularly brilliant, but because he was occupying a position which of itself sup posed that Ihe occupant knew some thing. Ed was always on hand when ever any new political deals were afloat. He was termed the moving spirit, and though he sometimes likes a little of the spirit that moves, never bankrupted himself in making friends that way. As time went on Ed became restless in the clerk's office, and the building rapidly grew too small for him, so he took a friend's advice and quit. .„ The next office he filled was that of census super visor. It was here he "-.found his level, and though he tried to make the people of Minneapolis believe he was equal to the occasion, he was not. and the best of it all is he knew that himself. Since then he has not said a word about what "1 have done for the Republican party," and is not going to for some time. it is the perquisites and not the party that Ld is anxious about. John M. Rees is a lawyer in good standing. Yes, he stands six feet one inch in his slippers. The public do not know that John was at one time a lightning telegraph operator, and he worked nights on the third floor of the city hall, although he had previously studied law in the office of President Harrison at Indianapolis. John never exoected to accomplish a great deal in this line so be did not push himself to the front until he was ready. It was while S. A. Dunn was clerk of the municipal court that John got his little start in life. Dunn wanted an assist ant and advertised for one. John saw the "ad" and answered if. His answer caught Dunn at first sight, and John got the place. He made a good assist ance, and is now making a very nice living practising law. lie had the honor once of beating Judge Egan. of St. Paul, on about the first he ever tried-** Mayor Smith revoked a St. Paul saloon keepers license, and the latter em ployed John to fight the case. John took the case and showed to the satis faction of the court that the mayor had no authority to do so; that such power was vested in the council alone and the court so ordered. If John would let politics alone he would be still better than what he is. The trouble with John is that he is a aMcKinlev man. George Thompson, an old motor con ductor, who ran many a train from Bridge Square to Lakes Calhoun and "Harriet when Col. McCrary was at the head of affairs, was in town yesterday for tin: first time in six years. When he quit the city he went out West. When lie returned to town yesterday he start ed to go out on the old motor line, but to his surprise th;- steam motors and long cars had disappeared from that line, and he would not so. He said times had chanced very much in Minne apolis since he left, and from what he heard of the way street railway em ployes have to work here, he does not care to get his name on the company's pay roll again. "Why," said he, "when I was a motor conductor here we used to run long trains every hall-hour be tween the city and the Jakes, hut we were not bound to half-hour trains. .If travel was light we generally occupied a little time at the lakes in playing a game at cards for theater tickets, and we always finished the game no matter whether we were late or not. Col. Mc- Crary was a nice man, and if we were late lie would never ask us why we were. Many a game at cards I played on the old motor cars, but like all men who follow gambling 1 never made any thing at it. Aid. Parry and Loye spent yesterday afternoon inspecting the gents' furnish ing stores on Nicollet avenue. A num ber of acquaintances met them as they made the rounds, between Washington avenue and Eighth street. To all in quiring friends they simply said that they were inspecting the stores with the view of improving their political rec ords. The secret of the little trip was nothing more nor less than to get the most improved styles of neckwear so that the Boston aldermen who come here to-day will not take these two aldeimen for farmers when they meet them in St. Paul this morning. — o — The coroner's jury that investigated the causes thai led to the death of John W. Bauson, -which resulted from injur ies received on the interurban electric , line, succeeded in getting more promises out of the street railway company than any other jury ever did before. Instead of returning that old threadbare ver dict, "died from injuries received through his own carelessness," they rapped the company hard enough to call . out General Manager Goodrich. He promises to change the poles if the city engineer will only say the word. It that "jury could only realize five cents on the dollar on the promises that Mr. Good rich has not fulfilled. Juryman Mul laney could buy out the Times and Tom Lucas would be so comfortably fixed that he would not need to make another political speech on this side of the grave. AMUSEMENTS. "The Two Sisters," 'Thompson and Ryer's successful domestic drama, opened at the Bijou opera house yester day at 2:30 for an engagement of six nights and the usual matinees. This favorite play was seen at the ('rand opera house in this city last season where it was most favorable received. The play is much on the order of the "Old Homestead," and, like the latter play, has built its characters on Amer icans scenes and localities. It is a -wonderfully interesting drama. It entertains every mo ment, and touches the best emotions of human nature while it teaches more than one lesson of life. It is a simple story well told, and while there are few situations in it that might be called startling climaxes, there is a tender pathos about the whole structure of the play proper that penetrates the soul. Tie company presenting this piece is a thorough]*; capable one, and embraces many players. of excellent merit and reputation. Cleveland's minstrels stopped on their way to California to eiy'e a performance at the (.rand Opera house last evening, and had a fair, although top heavy house. The show is about the same as seen a few months ago, but is not so strong numerically, and is far from hav ing improved artistically. The won derful Cragg family is the chief feature, and redeems the show. Hon. Ignatius Donnelly will answer Col. Ingersoll at the Lyceum next Thursday evening. Mr. Donnelly's rep utation as an orator, and his subject, which is a reply to Col. Ingersoll, should crowd the Lyceum to the doors". Col. Ingersoll will occupy one of the boxes. Seats are now on sale at Dyer Bros.' music store at regular prices. "Ihe County Fair," Neill Burgess' successful comedy, announces a seven nights engagement at the Grand to night. Wherever this piece has been produced the theaters have been too 6mall to accommodate the audiences, which is the best proof of the excellence of the performance. There will be two matinees, Wednesday and Saturday. The sale of seats for the Ingersoll lecture at the Lyceum on Friday even ing will open at Dyer's music store this morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Ingersoll is on his way home to New York, from Helena, Mont., the scene of the famous Davis law suit. Large inducements were offered him by the Lyceum man agement, and he finally consented to aiijjear. lie will present tor his subject one in which he has won much fame. "Myth and Miracle" is the suegestive title of the subject, and it is said to em brace many of this talented lawyer's ideas on religion and is also said to be* more than rich in the oratorical flights and poetical expressions that have justly made him so famous. The same schedule of prices as prevailed on the occasion of the former lecture will be Sharged. MEMORIAL SUNDAY. It Was Observed by the G. A. R. Posts at Various Churches. How the Crowds of People Were Handled by the Elec tric Lines. A. T. Ankeny Tells How Ger man Is Being- Taught in Minneapolis Schools. Note and Comment Upon the Various Events of the Flour City. Yesterday was Memorial Sunday and the various G. A. R. posts all attended church services, meeting at their post halls and marching iv a body to their respective churches, which were gener ally profusely decorated with the na tional colors, flowers and evergreens. Tie sermons were especially fitted to the occasion, and the attendance was universally large of the veterans and their friends. Ihe Butler and Schafer posts and Ladies' Relief corps attended divine service at the Catholic Church of the j Ascension, corner of Bryant and Eighteenth avenues north. The attend | ance was exceedingly large, the cap. city j of the edifice being taxed to the utmost. The sanctuary was draped with huge American flags and the church artisti i cally decorated with patriotic colors and othe emblematical ornaments ap propriate for the occasion. The church , choir ably rendered Lejeal's Mass iv D. The solos sung by Mrs. Huntley, Miss Agnes Byrnes, Prof. Mores Baker and George Beck attracted special at tention. The pastor, Rev. Father Chris tie, preached an eloquent sermon to the old soldiers. Father Christie is widely known as an orator of the highest rank, and the presence of the veteran on this occasion seemed to inspire him as it were, and it was tho unanimous opinion j of the great number who had the pleas ure to listen to him that seldom has he I been heard to better advantage. riummer and Chase posts attended a special memorial service at Century ! hall at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The ! platform was fringed by a row of potted plants, while huge flags were gracefully draped in the background. The gallery was also decorated with flags, and there was a tasteful arrange ment of bunting and festoons ' that made the scene a pleasing one. The programme included a contralto solo by Miss Alma Morten Johnson, and the singing of "comrades" by W. F.Thayer. Rev. S.W. Sample preached an eloquent and touching sermon unon "Ihe Voice of the Dead." James Bryant post attended services at the Bethleliein Presbyterian church, where Rev. D. S. McCaslin delivered the sermon. George N. Morgan post was addressed by Rev. M. D. Shutter at the Church of the Redeemer. John A. Rawlins post attended serv ices iv the morning at Gethsamane church, where the memorial address was delivered by Rev. J. J. Faude. William Downs Post and Relief corps attended services at the Grace Baptist church, where Rev. J. F. McXamee spoke eloquently upon "The Hero's Uniform." William Nobles post was addressed at the Thirteenth Hennepin M. E. church by Rev. Thomas McClary, who spoKe upon "The Value of a Life.'' FAITH AND FAITHFULNESS. Deed Helps Creed As Creed Helps Deed. W. J, Lhamon,- Church of Christ. "Faith and Faithfulness." When fiu thet* was a monk he went to Rome. He believed in penances, and began to as cend; on his knees Pilate's staircase, which the priests told him had been miraculously transported from Jerus alem. Presently there rang through his soul the text, "The just shall live by faith." He was startled; he arose; he left off penances, became the enemy of that perverted system, and the leader of the reformation. Justification by faith became the cardinal doctrine of the reformers, and to them it was "very wholesome and very full of comfort." If by faith is meant fellowship with Christ and childhood toward God: if it indicates the certain style of life that Jesus sanc tioned; if it is the mark of a character formed for usefulness manward and happiness Godward; if faith in Christ means life in God, then that we arc. justified by it, and saved by it is not a doctrine comforting and wholesome .merely, but absolutely true. If faith means merely a wicked man's assent to truth, then it is only mockery. "Devils believe and tremble." The apostle .lames insisted on works; Paul on faith: they are both right, and they are one. In our practical age Paul needs the help of James to complete the statement, "We are saved by faith and faithful ness." Deed helps creed as creed helps deed. The age of clubs and swords and spears made cruel, bloody creeds. Hard" doc trines were enforced by anathemas and excommunications and inquisitions. Our more humane age will not fail to rid itself of creeds inherited from half barbarous times. The age of orphanages and asylums and reform schools and col leges and associated charities and evan gelical alliances and international arbi tration, and foreign missions will not be satisfied with such a church, nor with such a creed as Mark Twain's Yankee found in King Arthur's court. Faith fulness to Christ would have saved the world a vast deal of sad history, and the church likewise rom ' false doctrines. The revision of creeds is a necessary consequence of the revision of deeds. We are learning that there is heresy of the hand as well as of the heart. The fist is heterodox. Greed, / cruelty, hatred, lies and cannon balls are hetero dox. The Samaritan had with him a bottle of oil to heal his neighbor's wounds; he was orthodox. Conduct is three-fourths of life, and in the imita tion of Christ there, is both faith and faithfulness. If it be true that "the heart makes the theologian," then none but a good man can possibly give you a good creed. We know that Christ was thoroughly good; we believe that his teaching was thor oughly right. Right practice alone can hold theory in check. The really holy people make no noise about "them selves, but they are heroic work ers, like William Carey and William Wilberforce and John Howard and Clara Barton and Elizabeth' Fry and David Livingstone. On the other hand, where "holiness" becomes a fad the people do nothing but shout about it. Stagnant waters breed pestilence. When Satan finds an idle Christian he sets him to making a rosary or a system of theology, or exalts him to the leader ship of a fad or a sect. BROOM-HANDLE LINES. The Development of the Electric Street Car Service Becoming Apparent. » Yesterday was gloomy and rain fell sparingly several times. Notwithstand ing the streets, especially towards even ing, were crowded with people in their Sunday attire. The number who would have visited the lakes was limited because of the threatening weather. - At Lake Harriet, however, there was a large attendance at the con certs given yesterday r afternoon and evening by.the Danz Military band. The concerts were delightful, and will serve to be a great attraction during the sum pier. They are to be given daily , : . both THE SAINT PATH, DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MORNING, 51 A 25, 1391. afternoon and evening, up to June 15, and each Sunday up to that date. The street car company had prepared for a rush, but the travel was noti.ei.rlv so large as last Sunday, when 30,00b transfers on city lines alojie were given. About eight extra motors were put on,' and fifteen would have been added if needed. Motors were run on the First avenue hue to the lakes every three minutes. Twelve of the fifty-horse power mo tors were in service on the interurban line, each hauling two trailers with per fect ease. The loop running from Hen nepin avenue to High street to Fitst avenue south to Washington avenue was put in use for the first tim***»but was . only used by the interurban cars. Tbe announcement that the Fourth street. southeast line would be opened for travel to-day was premature. The curves at the bridge and on Central ave nue are not completed, and several days may elapse before the line is ready for business. The wiring of the Bloomington ave nue line is nearly finished, and ties are now being distributed along Sixth ave nue south. Several carloads of T rails have just been received from the Illinois Steel company of Chicago, which will be laid on Second street northeast and the Hen nepin boulevard.

Ankeny, president of the board of education, speaking of the matter of teaching German, which is now being discussed by the St. Paul board, said yesterday: --in the Minneapolis course of study the English language alone is taught in the primary and intermediate grades. In the high schools during the - first year Latin, German and French are allowed. In the second year Greek is only allowed, and the same in the third and fourth years. This has al ways been our rule, and it works .satis factorily. There is no likelihood of the language being extended to the graded schools, and there has never been any demand for it whatever. Even in the high schools there are four courses which the student may select from, namely, the English, the Latin, the classical and the literary courses. ... The language question therefore has never given our board any trouble." A LENGTHY PROGRAMME. The Afro-American Banquet and the Toasts to Be Responded to. The Afro-American convention which meets in Minneapolis Wednes day is to be followed by a banquet, to be given in the evening at Morgan Post hall. President Potter.of the city coun cil, in the absence of Mayor Winston, will deliver the address of welcome.and Rev. D. A.

A big meeting of the bakers' union was held in Labor Temple Saturday evening, at which a representative of each shop reported the answer of the boss to the maflifesto issued two weeks ago by the union. The majority of the reports showed that the bosses had re fused the demands made of eleven, hours for day's work, with $12 per week for bench bakers and $15 for foremen. There was considerable of a discus sion as to whether the men in the oppos ing shops should be called out at once or next week. It was finally decided to give the boss bakers one more week of grace, and if they, did not agree to the demands made to call the men out next Sunday night. MONEY. FORTHCOMING. City Employes to Receive Cash in Time to Pay Taxes. Assistant City Treasurer Ankney has made arrangements with County Treas urer Peterson whereby sufficient will be obtained to meet the May pay rolls and other claims against the city. The reg ular meeting of the council will be held next Wednesday evening, when the pay ments will be authorized. The city officials and members of the police department will be paid Thurs day mcA*ning, and the firemen will be settled with between 1 and 5 p. m. Clerks and teams will be sent out Fri day to pay the sewer crews. The board of education payments will be deferred until June 11 and 12.- A GIRL'S EXPERIENCE. An Attempt to Ruin a Minneapo lis Girl in Duluth. A short time ago a girl named Minnie Nichols, a Minneapolis girl, went to Du «*luth at the instance of a friend of hers there who said there was plenty of work in that city. Arriving at the depot her friend failed to meet her, and she in quired of a young man if he knew where she could obtain employment. He an-, swered in the affirmative, and offered to show her where. .She accepted, but he took her to a house of ill repute ..and; made an attempt to ruin her. She man--' aged to escape from the den and ap pealed to the police for protection. The authorities put her on the train and re turned her to her home in this city, where she arrived yesleriiay morning.-,. NOTE AND COMMENT*.' The description of the vociferous vest presented to Col. W. W. Wettleson, city editor of the Times, by Fred A. Pride.of dime museum fame, published "in yes terday's Globe, created' so much inter est that a cut of the wonderful garment, .s herewith given. - •• i r \ m M Col. Wettleson yesterday attracted great attention whenever he appeared in public, and it was his presence at the corner of Washington and First avenues south, it is thought, that caused the great blockade ot street cars. The Journal yells "ask for clean papers"— buy the Hloue and you run no risk. * . The Minneapolis base ball team is to wear black suits after this. The color is particularly appropriate. The Tribune has resumed the pleas ing treatment of local affairs which nearly broke its former proprietor financially, and put the sheet on the hog train, as they say in the classics. The Tribune continues to be the only "thoroughly alive and aggressive pa per in the Northwest" as of yore, and is getting tolbe about as thoroughly disliked as ever. Business men . and citizens generally understand Mayor Winston is trying to give a reasonable administra tion in the interest of the city, and this constant booming and exaggeration of evils that always have and are bound to exist in cities of this size is making the public rather tired. The business men's union should take the Tribune in hand. The retirement of George K. Shaw, presumably at his own volition, as ed itor of the Evening Tribune, is to be re gretted, although it does not mean that he is going to drop out of newspaper work in all probability. He has been a strong, keen writer, who has never failed to stand up for what he consid ered to be right, even if he was wrong, and he has written many candid trutlis in the face of influences which cause most editorial writers to consult policy rather than conscience. George K. will certainly be missed in the Minne apolis newspaper field, and that is say ing a good deal in a line of work in which a man may die, be buried and forgotten all in twenty-four hours, r- i "Yesterday thousands of people were on the streets for a holiday. Still there 1 were only three arrests for drunkeness and two for fast driving— and the back doors of the ' saloons were open, too. Oh, Minneapolis is a terribly, terribly wicked city, as the Rev. Mr. Somebody, whose name is not worth mentioning, would say. Some people are better appreciated abroad than at home. .Denver wants to' improve its health department and has' written to Dr.Kilviling for an outline of his ideas for a system of safeguards for the protection of public health. Several newspaper men were wear ing very handsome canes, the present of Charles A. Parker, of the Grand opera house, who seems to appreciate the value of the services of pencil-shov ers in his behalf in the past, and took this pleasant way of expressing it. A. T. Ankeny gives some hints lo the St. Paul board of education concerning the teaching of German in the public schools, which that body will doubtless appreciate in its dilemma. Ashes to Ashe-:. The funeral of Charles L. Wales, traveling freight agent of the Minneap olis & St. Louis road, was held at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the Clinton hotel. The following gentle meh were pallbearers: W. M. Hopkins, U. G. Drown. J. S. Whitcomb, O. S. Tarbox, J. N. Tittlemore and W. P. Fox. The interment took place at Lake wood. The Estimate Too Small. **• The loss by last Thursday night's "fire in the lumber yard is much greater than was at first estimated. Messrs. Day & Co. estimate that they lost about 25,000. --000 feet of lumber, valued at §11 or $12 per thousand. This means a loss ot be tween $280,000 and $290,000. The in surance also was wav off. the total amount being $126,000, and not §140,000, as at first reported. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. The German Methodist churches of the city and vicinity will hold their annual camp meeting at Crow river about ihe middle of July. Sherman hall is to be opened the evening ot June 2 by William Noble •G. A. It. post. The event will be made quite a social one, it is promised. The work of remodeling the exposition building for the Christian Endeavor conven tion will be commenced to-day by H. M. Lay ton, who received the contract for &-,8.~>0. Eleanor Regan, the five-year-old daughter of John J. Regan, fell from a tricycle in st. Paul Saturday and dislocated her"shoulder. She was brought to her home at 1616 Haw thorne avenue.

Preparations for the event are already under way. It is expected that many influential Masons from all parts of the country will be iv attendance. Charles llorton. who served for twenty years in the fire department of this city and was retired in A pril last, has iv contempla tion a plan for the organization of a patrol system for the ' protection of the business houses. His idea Is to -secure regular sub scribers, to have plans of their buildings made, and in case of tire have a corps of men turn out to protect the property and to notify the owners dt buildings and convey them to the place. The Minneapolis Wheelman's association has been organized to "establish, protect and prevent the abuse of the rights and privileges of bicyclists, and to promote the general in terests of wheelmen." The following are its officers: President, W. C. Leavitt; vice pres ident, ;F. M. Washburn . secretary. H. '. F. Downs; treasurer, A. B. Choate: executive committee. Dr. H. W. Clark, Fred Kees, I. R. Snow and S. F. French. The next meeting will be held Friday evening. a*__Bg**> Additional rtlinu canoli*. _Sf-t__? New. on Page 5. POLITICAL GOSSIP. There Is More of* It in the Air Than Is Sup posed. Loren Fletcher Getting Tan gled Up in Alliances, Of- • fensive and Defensive. The Peculiar Character of a Telegram He Is Said to Have Sent. Tim E. Byrnes Getting to Be a Big Boy Now to Some Extent. Though it is more than a year before any political convention will be Held iii Minneapolis to nominate candidates for the different state, county and city offi ces, still the men who are always in the "hands of their friends" are already bobbing up all over town. No sooner is one election over than these men begin to figure on what the futuie of two or four years, as tbe case may be, will bring. Such men ' are . in variably termed gentlemen of leisure men whose whole frames are saturated with political bile, aud without which they could not exist. They would not, if they had control of the entire state, let people talk anything but politics, and were future elections to occur only once iv four or six years, these political maniacs wouid find themselves some day in a lunatic asylum. It is well that the world does not move as fast as they would like, for if it did, the human race would not have eaten breakfast in time to see the suu set. The average citizen, who rarely talks politics out of season, would not sus pect that such men as Loren Fletcher, John S. Pillsbury or R. B. Langdon had already started in to formulate plans lor the campaign a year hence. Of course it is not to be wondered at if such skyward-hound politicians as Tim Byrnes and John Goodnow spent their time in talking over future possibilities, and priding themselves on knowing so much in advance. That is what any man who knows these shoots would ex pect of them. But when Loren Fletch er, - with his big Dakota farm on his hands, his milling andi-real estate interests to look after, takes time to light a cigar in the presence of a friend without offeringjliim one,too— and whis pers iv his ear that the leven is already working, then there is something up surely. Fletcher has talked more" poli tics in the last month than he has hard times, and of course the inference is that he is going to be in it a year hence just as much as when he and Fayette Marsh, of Stillwater, ripped up things gener ally six years ago only to get the worst of it. » * _ ■» Fletcher began early to' map out things, and he has not got through yet. It was during the session of the legisla ture, when Gov." Merriam was debating with himself about signing the Min neapolis new city charter, that Fletcher saw the opportunity of a lifetime, and it would not be the "Little Villain" did he not embrace it. .- Though he was not in the city, he was just as active and certainly more Influential than a good many of those who were. He was not in Europe, though he promised early last fall to go there for the winter if the Republicans would excuse him from accepting the mayoralty sacrifice. lie was East, and when he learned that the Governor had made up his mind to approve the 'charter, he wired the, chief executive of the state a very long mes sage, the contents of which have since been kept a dead secret by those who were admitted into the executive's con fidence. The strictest secrecy was en joined on the fewawlio were present when he opened the telegram, and had it not been that one of them stole away from home a few days and forgot him self, the secret in all probability would never have reached the public except by inference. The sum and substance of this tele gram, which is here eiven, will no doubt fall like a thunderbolt from a clear sky on Mr. Fletcher, and while it may create hard feelings between the members of the inner circle because of its publication, still the Globe could not think of depriving its thousands of readers of such a fine piece of news to keep peace in the Ke publican family. Well, here is the secret:. It _ was a came to do up the Democrats from start to finish, and Fletcher, like many other Republicans, say that ,the city charter, if passed, would make the Democracy solid, ami so he urged the governor to veto the bill under pain of not getting any Hennepin support for the United States senate besides Fletcher wanted to go to congress, and if Merriam would not veto the charter and promise to help Fletcher to congressional honors, Mer riam might as well concede Senator Davis' re-election. This was a powerful club for one man to hold over another, and Fletcher, being an athlete himself,' swung that club to per fection. The governor, after leasoning with himself on the status rerum, con cluded that Hennepin's support was very essential in the contest, and so the veto was attached. This is the true ver sion of what led to the governor vetoing the charter. Fletcher was given great credit at the time for his undying love (?) for th party, but there are very few who un derstand the situation just as it is, and this publication of what led to Fletch er's interference in the charter matter will surprise Fletcher as much as any one else. Fletcher was, of course, act uated by. personal motives, and took this means of solidifying himself with the party. Fletcher, though he thinks a good deal of his big farm in Dakota, would willingly give any man a clear title to the same, if by doing so he could secure a seat in congress. It lias been his ambition for years to write M. C. after his name, and though he came very near getting there once, a supposed friend from Isanti county went back on him. and that floating iceberg. J. B. Gilfillan. was chosen. Fletcher is shrewd in some things, but he is far from being politic. He is too spiteful to be a suc cessful politician, and unless he gets out and appeases some of those people whose hair he has brushed the wrong way more than once, he will not be nominated for .congress a year hence. Senator Washburn Is said to be op posed to Fletcher's candidacy very much, and that he 'expressed himself more than once in this vein in the past six months. Of course, he is not here now, and though he is not, his lieuten ants are here and: keeping him well posted. The reasons given- for his ob jections to Fletcher's candidacy aro based simply on personal grounds, and -that is enough for Wash burn. Should ':,'. Fletcher get the congressional nomination, and if elected he would want to get too many places for his friends, and that would cause trouble at the start, as Washburn, up to date,' has filled all the • local federal of-, fices without giving Sam Snider : a chance to look on and see how it was done. Then again a United States sen ator and a congressman from Hennepin county would appear too * much for one county,, and outside counties ' would not like it. So of course there are many things that Fletcher must do before he can answer the congressional roll call in Washington. .Good; reliable" political prophets predict that Fletcher might as : well try to get to heaven with his boots on a3 to go to congress,' so many are the enemies he has made by his vindictive ness. ** # • There will be a very warm contest among . the Hennepin - Republicans when they come to figure out who is to fill the congressional offices. The sane man would believe it, but it is true just the same, that Ed Davenport would like to go to W ashington for a couple of winters and draw the money for hotel expenses out of the United States treasury*, but the finest* archi tect in the country could - not draw plans and specifications good enough for Ed to go by in a political fight. .He is like John Gcodnow and Freeman P. Eane— he knows it all him self. What Ed does not know about politics, if distributed around among those of his class in Minneapolis, would make good politicians of them all. They all want to be leaders and nothing less than a chairmanship will do them. That is the .■ trou ble with them. If they were willing to get into the ranks", and go through a course of training, all would be well. A. H. Hall is a good sample of that class of meu. Hall perchance was placed at the head of the committee that conducted ex-Congressman Sni der's campaign; thenjhe was made as sistant city attorney, and he grew "so large in his own estimation that it looked as if Minneapolis, with its fifty three square miles, would not be large enough to contain him. Since last fall a reaction set in, and now he is small enough to crawl into a canary cage. * » * * Tim Byrnes is in Washington now, and is trying to make as big a man of himself as he possibly can. When not sleeping pr eating, Tim is busy inform ing his acquaintances of the president's views (?) on the potitieal situation gen erally. He is also telling his friends, and the newspaper men particularly, how he and the president discussed the outlook in Minnesota, and that the pres ident told Tim that the latter must see to it that Minnesota is put in shape be fore next election, in order that the old time majorities can be counted on a year hence. There seems to be no limit to Tim's idea of his own importance. This news of Tim spreading it on so thick in Washington will amuse Minne apolis people generally, who regard him as one of the political curiosities of the age. Unless some kind friend whispers loudly in Tim's ear to stop making a fool of himself, it is feared that Judge Corrigan will have a sad case of mental aberration to consider when Tim gets back. ri-.i_ The announcement made a short time ago that Judge Mahoney would soon tender his resignation has brought out a swarm ot would-be Republican judges, and unless something is done soon to quiet the excited ones, there will be something for Coroner Byrnes to in vestigate around the Union league rooms. There is a belief in certain Re publican quarters that the place now filled by Judge Mahoney should go to the Democracy, as the present in cumbent is really a Democrat. A few very few, though— conservative Repub lican say that their party should not in terfere with the Democrats in naming a successor to Judge Mahoney. But the great army of the unsatisfied think dif ferent, and cite the fact that Judge Ma honey was nominated two and a half years ago by the late Attorney James Worrall in the Republican convention at Turner hall, and etected by Republican votes. On this basis they claim the office, and do not propose "to let the Democrats have anything to do with it. It is a weil known fact that when Judge Mahoney was first placed on the munic ipal bench, the Democrats, put him there. That was in 1883, and though L. A. Dunn made a hard light for the place, Mahoney defeated him. * - * » For this soft berth there are many Republican candidates. Carmen N. Smith. ex-Municipal Court Clerk Daly, L. A. Dunn, A. 11. Hall, Assistant City Attorney Simpson, R. K. Odell. Ace P.. Abell, ex-Justice of the Peace Crimes, and a score of others too numerous to mention. These gentlemen . have all got their friends, and they propose using them. Of course, a good deal will de pend on how much weight these friends have with . the government. Car men N. .Smith is said to have the backing of D. M. Clough and Loren Fletcher. These two men, if they pull together, can do more with Gov. Merri am than any other half-dozen men in Minneapolis. D. M. Clough and the governor are like brothers, ami as the latter and Fletcher buried the hatchet with the city charter, the man Fletcher and Clough unite on will no doubt get the place. The Democrats are making no move whatever, believing that Ma honey will not quit the bench until his term has expired. A local rubber company has struck a new idea of getting pood newspaper ad vertising, and on the first page, too, by inducing the newsboys to bring their papers to the firm's store te be stamped. In return for this the boys get sling shots and small -.rubber bands, with which they annoy the public when not otherwise engaged. This is enterprise personified, and one of the latest the ories tor getting cheap advertising. In this way the company promises to give large reductions on all cash sales. Watch the war run between the local press and the said rubber company. tan r-rfcHJ-** Additional Minneapolis '&-*%* "Vety.. on -KIMI* Fairo. AJIfSE.fI ENTS.
