CURRENT COMMENT.

of trade yesterday morning while waiting
for the last member necessary to a quorum.
Col. King was discussing the question Of
differences between Minneapolis and st.
Panl and had referred to certain gentle
man of the latter city as follows: He is
large-hearted, intelligent man, but he can
do nothing alone. The tail can't wag the
dog any more than Grover Cleveland can
-" But at this point an interruption oc
cured. Away over in one corner, Judge
Atwater was concealed by newspaper he
was reading, but at the mention Of Cleve-
lands name, he rose up and in a tragedy
comedy voice that raised a general laugh,
exclaimed: ''H0Id on. colonel, Pm here.
Cleveland and the party are all right" and
then, with laugh, ''if we are under little
cloud, just now" Col. King subsidized into
broad smile and President Phelps re-
marked: ''Whenever L think Judge At
water is asleep, I'll only have to say Cleve-
land to rouse him up"
The Steubenville Pottery company had
intended making big display of its Amer
lean ware at the state fair and instructed
its agent, William Philips, to engage a
goodly space. This was done and a large
assortment of goods was shipped to him.
In railroad blockade at Chicago the goods
were mislaid and Philips tore his hair when
he thought of the golden opportunity lost.
Yesterday the half dozen hogsheads were
cheerfully rolled out On the platform and
Philips ruefully surveyed their contents as
he spread them out in Fl. Jay Smiths art
gallery. It was splendid lot and would
have made fine exhibit of domestic china
ware. The lot will now be sold.

last evening. He says that business in
Helena is rapidly improving and that the

metropolis and business center of the

season in that vicinity shows that mother
earth is still presenting fortunes to those
who own stock in the right location.

Col. King, on his return from the East,
confirms the statement made in the GLOBE
concerning the North American Telegraph
company, and by singular coincidence
uses nearly identical language in reference
to the high rates and unsatisfactory service
to Duluth. He says Ed Stokes controls the
Union hneS but is not connected with the
local company.

Hon. G. A. Pillsbury. who has just re-
turned from visit to Washington, where he
succeeded in having the jute-bag rebate re-
stored, was very much pleased with the
business methods apparent in the admins

tives must exert themselves to secure a
change in the statute.
