CURRENT COMMENT.

Detroit Times: President-elect Cleye-
land seems to have a relative III every
State IN the Union, and all the returns
are not IN yet
New Haven Register: Civil service re-
form is alike generous TO the party IN
power and faithful 10 the needs of the
people at large Civil service reform is
but another name for official honesty.
Minneapolis Tribune: Dakota shares
the political faith Of her neighbors, Min
nesota, Iowa and Nebraska; and this is
Senator Vests only reason for opposition.
He is we'll aware that his conduct is gross
violation OF justice and our constitutional
system
Davenport Gdzette: Our friends in the
South do not seem to enjoy taking their
own medicine. They were willing enough
tosadyocate the free-trade party; but when
the Spanish-American treaty threatens
to deprive their sugar industry of protect
ion, they are protesting.
Chicago Inter Ocean: Prof. Sharpe,
the Mormon elder visiting the East, says
that his noble institution fourishes under
persecution. 1t is about time for Uncle
Sam TO stop playing with Mormonism
to meet the other twin relic.
Detroit Free Press: Judging from
Republican indignation at the unwilling
ness of the Democrats to admit Dakota
as State with an overwhelming Repub-
ican majority, one who didn't know bet
ter would imagine that the Republicans
would admit it If it had an overwhelming
Democratic majority. Since the Repub-
licans want to admit it because it is a
Republican territory, the Democrats are
justified for that very reason In opposing
its admission.
Detroit Post: The small wits of the
Democratic press have been repeating
what they imagined was a good joke,
that General Grants refusal to accept a
pension was the first time he ever declined
anything. Intelligent people, however,
remember that he declined the sword of
General Lee, who was the greatest of
Democratic generals; that he declined the
terms of surrender offered by Buckner,
another great Democratic name; and that,
ever since the rebellion of the southern
Democrats broke out, he has declined to
Join the Democratic party on any terms.

UNCLE JERRY.
How "Old Trinity's" Congregation Was
Once Dispersed.


m Y. Telegram.]
Uncle Jerry-he would hardly forgive it
il his full name were used, il; view of what
follows-carted leather for many years for
the "swamp" people, his stand being in
Jacob street, a busy little thoroughfare not
much known to those outside the great
center of the New York letaher trade.
Just as honest as the day is long was
Uncle Jerry and as truthful as need be;
but as full of fun sas an egg is of meat"
His boyish pranks have always stuck to
him. One Sunday, when his horses and
carts were cared for and at rest, he took it
into his head to go into the country and
hear the birds sing and watch the flowers
grow, for he was born in the country and
his old habits Stuck to him. AS he started
for home he spied a hornets nest. He
knew what hornets nest was; he had
fought hornets often enough when a boy,
and he Immediately saw that this nest be-
longed TO the yellow tipped variety-the
really fierce warriors of the family. The
nest was large and of perfect form, and
hung on branch within reach.
Uncle Jerry waited until the hornets had
settled down pretty well, most of them
having gone inside through the only pas
sageway, the hole in the bottom. Then he
quietly crept up and with wad of paper
plugged the hole, cut off the twig which
laid the nest and started with it for his
home in the lower part of the city. 1t is
safe to say chat a host of the people he met
hadn't an idea as TO what he was carrying.
He got down by Trinity Church just as the
evening service was over and the large
congregation was coming out. The old
spirit of fun got hold of him: he quietly
unplugged that hornets nest, gave it such
a vigorous shake as would have maddened
any set of hornets, dropped it right among
the crowd and innocently walked. Well,
boys, to cut it short, it is perfectly safe to
bet that few church congregations have
ever dispersed in greater h"--~

The Merry Var.


The production of the Merry War at the
Grand Opera house by the Carleton Opera
company may be said to be double novelty
for opera lovers Of st. Paul. Strauss great
work has never yet been pres ented here, ,and
in fact no opera by the great composer has
been produced in this city, though his fame
as composer is world wide. The Merry
War abounds in the delightful waltz move
ments which he alone can compose.
The company comes with the manage
ment of Will. ]. Davis as its chief guarantee
until the verdict is reached this evening.
Mr.. Davis has never been disappointment
heretofore, and we look for even more than
he promises. this time, for the initiated it is
well known that he has secured an attraction
second to none in Amer
lea, Mr. W. T. Carleton's
position is so well assured that we can readi-
ly take it for granted that every member Of
the company is an artist worthy to support
him.
Jessie Bartlett Davis is already exceed
lngly popular here, and it is thought that
after tonight st. Paul will have more favor
lite singers in the persons of Miss Post and
Miss Beaudet, Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Carleton.
The company came at noon from La
Crosse where it appeared last night. The
Sunday issue of the La Crosse Chronicle con-
cludes long and critical notice of the per-
formance in these words: ''The company is
an excellent one in every particular. Last
nights entertainment was not simply all but
more than had been promised"
