Give The girls a. Chance.

The young men who are disposed to
pass on the other side OF the street
and in other unfccling ways dodge
ice-cream saloons when out walking
with their girls, should remember
that all during the long winter these
same girls cheerfully and uncomplain-
ingly furnished lights and fuel for
their comfort, and the little cream,
strawberries and similar necessities
they are willing to accept are but an
inadequate return, at the best, for the
last winters favors.

Senator Sherman on Ohio Politics.

ST. PAUL, June 21.-Ex-Secretary
Sherman arrived here yesterday on
his return from two months trip
through the Northwest. In an inter-
view he expressed belief that Foraker's
chances for election as Governor of
Ohio in October were good. He said
the Democrats would force Governor
Hoadly to run against him, if possible
and If he did the fight would be a
hard one, as Hoadly was the best
man the Democrats had in the
State, and hard man to beat. He
thought it probable that Blaine and
Logan would take the stump for
Foraker. Mr.. Sherman leaves for
home tomorrow.

THE STATE LIBRARIAN.

1t is said that Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad
They are getting ready to grind the
Governor in their mill which grinds
80 finely, but they are not dignity
ing him by the infection of mad
ness. In appearance they are
simply permitting him to exhibit
his Stiffness, allied with personal
spite, in official acts. The law pro-
vides that the Lieutenant Governor
shall be ex-Oficio State Librarian,
but he has assumed the RESPONSE
bility Of removing Lieutenant Gov
ernor Laughton from the Library
and appointing a successor. All
this arose from his own neglect OF
duty in reference to several bills
passed at the close of the last Leg
islature which caused a quarrel be-
tween Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Laugh
ton. How he intends to patch up
his work is not understood, but he
may possibly intend to abolish the
Office Of Lieutenant Governor by
proclamation. - Hawthorne Bulle-
tin.

FAIR FEARS BLACKMAIL

Senator Fair has sent up word to
this State that he will be here pres
emily to mingle with his constitu-
ents. Also that he is prepared ia
meet and resist all efforts at black
mail.
This is by all odds the weakest
confession FAIR has made during
his natural life, and we suspect
that he must have been q little
mellow with wine when he said it,
or has been misrepresented by
some over-of6cious idiot who is
palming himself of as a message
bearer for the Senator.
In the first place, it is a pretty
we'll authenticated fact, that man
with an honest and decent record
never fears blackmail, and what is
more, never parades the idea that
he is preparing to meet and rout
the blackmailers,
When charges are made against q
man, charges that can be fully sub
stantated, it is a very weak argu-
ment to make, that it il black
mail proposition.
Fair, most of all public men, is
in a position to vince under criti-
eism. He is constantly posing as a
victim of press attacks, and assert
ing that lies are being told about
him. He need not fear the lies,
what gives him the worst concern
is the truth. Unless be can an
swer some of the charges made by
the press, he had better drop
quietly out of the fight, and if, as
he claims. people are trying to
blackmail him, he should at once
arrest these parties and send them
to the Penitentiary, as the laws in
this State upon the subject of
blackmail are very strict.
As far as the APPEAL can dis
ern, Fairs following in this State is
not large. As near as we have
been enabled to enumerate, it con-
sists of Jewett Adams and Major
Garrard; beyond these two, no one
knows any more, except those who |
are willing on election day, to be
for him for pay. When Fair was
FIRST elected, the antipathy against
him in Washoe city was so
great that as high as $40 a vote
vas paid, and in some other coun-
ties where he was better known)
it took $50 to overcome the preju-
dice of the people.

other expectation. Four hundred and fifty
entries have already been made and at
least fifty more are expected to come in

Pennsylvania and West Virginia are all

for one who has in his minds eye
AN IDEAL FOWL
to look over the present entries and fail to
see something similar, and consequently
something that will pleasantly attract his
attention. 1t certainly would not fail to
interest the stern philosopher who reasons
only from cause to effect to see so many
widely different varieties which are mainly
the product Of different treatment.
