We learn through private sources that Pres

nesOtd delegation In The Republican National Con-
rentOn Is piedg6d 10 him. In that event he VIII
appoint General Sanborn or any Other aspirant
upon whom the men who assume TO represent
Minnesota may agree. This, we are reliably
informed, is the actual situation as IL exists
today and accounts for the delay ana uncer-
tainty that envelopes the judicial appoint
such trade may not be susceptible OF docu
mentary proof, but 1t is well understood by
prominent Minnesotians in Washington that
the judgesbip Is TO be had on these terms.
SO far no man, or combination, has been
found presumptuous enough to make the
pledge. To do 80 would involve an assump-
tion that the pledgers carried Minnesota In
their brooches pockets and the most odious
form OF attempted bossism. To make such n
pledge would be unsafe for any set OF men, for
they might not be able to deliver the goods.
We do not cay that Minnesota Is antt-Arthur.
We can conceive condition OF affairs IN which
President Arthur might receive Minnesota's
vote in the Chicago convention. But II would
have TO be free and unb0ught. Any attempt
TO purchase Minnesota's favor by political
patronage Will fail, as 1t deserves 70 fall, Min.

WINGED that shall make an adverse report

"But has newspaper publisher no rights
that the law should protect tho same as those
OF inventors and authors OF books"
"Thnt argument 10 plausible on Its face"
replied Mr.. Rice, "but IL carries with It an
undercurrent that is almost incomprehensi-
BILE. Under such q law as this news copy

suits that would set all the Judges wild.
Every newspaper publisher, 1t seems 70 me,

for an Increase OF wages from So 20 $3.50 was
not complied with by the bricklayers, was

The bricklayers, on tho other hand, say the
