she does not think that women are in other
respects qualified for journalism. not be-
cause of their inferiority or of the infe-
rior character of their work, but because or
their unreliablity. They lack the system
attic, methodical instincts that men pos
sesS. They can't be depended on to turn
up at regular hours and finish their
work in given time. In the newspaper

the regularity of clock work. Inc

be out on time no matter what happens.
Consequently the lack of the methodleal
instinct in woman disqualifeS her Tor
work which above all others requires the
most perfect system. Mrs. LESLIE says
that her experience with female journalists
has been that they are always getting SICK
or staying away in bad weather just when
their services i'll the office are most needed.
1t is evident that she regards herself as an
exception, and probably she is right ABOUT
it. Her wifely devotion and her noble
aim in journalistic work could not De set

trials have passed through i'll my efforts
to be faithful to the great trust conhded TO
me by my dead husband. l have endeav-
ored to prove to the world that he was
right in all things, even in his estimate OF
her to whom he entrusted the redemption
of his business credit and the carrying out
of his life work"

M,GILL SLIPS BACKWARD.

Boss MCG1LL is beginning to realize by
this time the dangerous position of being
the leading candidate for nomination.
The allied bosses are turning their guns
against him, and if he doesn't roost pretty
high they will be sure to bring him down.
This mornings estimates make the contest
a little bit closer than is comfortable for
Boss MCGILL. His uninstructed Hennepin
county delegation doesn't seem to have
much cohesiveness about it. 1t is breaking
all to pieces and the larger part of it is
drifting away from him. 1t turns out that
instead of being MCGILL delegation, it is
only trading delegation, ready and willing
to swap MCGlLL or anybody else for any
thing that will rake chestnuts out of the
fire for the Hennepin county Republican
bosses. Hereafter when Boss MCGILL
drives nail he will take the precaution to
clinch it.

CONCERNING ICE CUTTING.

At the meeting of the board Of health
Yesterday afternoon, Health Officer JONES
again pressed vigorously his resolution di-
rected against the pernicious custom OF cut
ting ice for local consumption from the
river between the two cities. 1t is to be
hoped that DR.. JONES will succeed IN
bringing the other members of the board
around to his way of thinking and that at
its next meeting. the matter having been
laid over Yesterday, a resolution will be
passed forbiddlng the harvesting of river
ice. Such ice is a prolific source OF disease,
a harbinger of epidemlcS and constant
menace to the health of two great cities.

with sewerage from the two cities
as to be almost filthy. Running

ouires longer course than eight or ten
miles to do it in. The river water is uni
versally recognized to be too impure for
drinking purposes, and the city secures its
water supply from limpid lake. Why then
should the same water, when frozen, be used
with such heedlesSneSS. In freezing it is
naturally purified to some extent but not
enough to remove from it its dangerous
qualities. The practice of cutting the i'm
pure river ice is ali the more indefenSlble
from the fact that so many lakes, the
sweetness and purity of whose water is I'M
excelled, exist comparatively close at hand.
If there were no such lakes the river ice
might be accepted for lack of better, but
when much better can be procured. the
board of health should not hesitate mo-
ment in inforcing its substitution for that
which is tainted and liable at any time to
breed pestilence. The GLOBE hopes, in
the interest of the city's health, that Dr..
JONES' views will be adopted unanimously
by his colleagues at the next meeting OF the

WOMEN IN JOURNALISM.

That Amazon of journalism. Mrs.
annual vacation in Paris. has recently been
interviewed by the London Pail Mall Ga
zette concerning the methods of American
Journalism. She displays a wonderful
familiarity with all the ins and outs of the
profession, which gives evidence of her
practical knowledge of journalism. The
story of Mrs. LEsLIE'S succession to the
editorial CHAIR OF the FRANK LESLIE publ
cations when her husband ed. and of how
she brought the establishment from a con-
diton of impending bankruptcy and placed
it on foundation of solid prosperity, is
familiar to all Americans. She is woman
of whom American newspaper people are
very proud, and it is matter of gratifca-
ton to them TO see so much attention paid
to her by the representatives of Europe

Gazette, Mrs. LESLIE gives great deal of
Importance to the interviewer. She
tells the French and English people
that when they come to America

the American press is devoted to this
branch of journalism. The interviewer is
invariably man of ability and education,

little bit too personal at times. She thinks
that women makes the best kind of inter

MIDST THE MADDING THRONg,

Gov. Oglesby, the chief executive of the
state of Illinois, is an ex-officer in the federal
army. During one Of the engagements in
which he participated he was wounded. The
wound was not fatal, not of serious charac-
ter, but it laid him up in the hospital for some
time, and troubles him more or less, and will
continue so to do until his life's journey ends.
On returning from the war he entered the
political arena, and has been in office ever
since, being twice elected as governor and
once as the United States senator from the
Prairie state.
His war record and the wound which he re-
ceived are his main stock in trade in his polit-
zeal campaigns.
Wilhelm the recent canvass for the govern
orship against Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, who
was the Democratic nominee, Gov Oglesby
was asked by prominent partisan follower
if his wound troubled him.

nation at Yankt0n.
Special to the Globe
CANTON, OAK, Sept. 20.-Gifford's
home delegation, accompanied by the Can
ton band, left this evening for Yankton.
They were accompanied by the Brule,
Dawson, Turner and Minnehaha delega-
tions, and a large number of Canton
citizens. Specials were received from the
Black Hills to-day claiming about the
whole vote of that section for Clifford A
telegram from Pembina county states that
the thirteen proxies from that county are
en- route by mail to Yankton, and are for
Clifford clear through. Counties represent
ing working majority IN the
convention have declared for Clifford
which in connection with the favorble
Northern votes, will give him walk-away
on the first ballot. Reports from Central
Dakota to-day are to the effect that COM
binatiOn is being formed by the opposi-
tion to Clifford to favor Grigsby
first and then throw to some anti-diviSionist
in Central Dakota. The only thing that
can defeat Clifford will be possible dissatis-
faction in the organization and the allena-
ton of delegations who at present are not
really interested in the outcome. but
on the whole feel favorably disposed
to Clifford. Alexander Hughitt and Abe
BoyntOn were on the train to-day en- route
to Yankton. Burleigh county will favor
Clifford in preference to any candidate now
in the field, and it is expected the Grand
Forks section will fall into line at the
convention. CasS, Brown, BrOOkings
and the counties tributary are anxious to
beat Clifford, but, as stated before, nothing
but bad handling on. the part of Clifford s
generals can defeat him in the convention.

That o'erthrOWn is the great altar, where ten

While on high to Aphrodite rose the solemn

Do they deem that thus the story of my life

Troy betrayed, and all who loved me slain
upon that fatal day,
Shall but make the memory of me evermore

Fools to dream that time can ever make the

Buried now is every hero, and the grass

But of her they fought and died for, every

Senator WINDOW viii have the chance
tomorrow to test his ability to win back
his former position of supremacy in the
Republican party. If he succeeds in making
his Chicago anUi-salOon platform a part of
the state Republican platform be will be
on top. The doctrine of the Chicago plat
form is ultimate prohibition, attained
through the submission of constitutional
amendments. with local option and high
taxation meanwhile. Mr.. WINDOW was
the permanent chairman of the anti-saloon
Republican convention, and of course will
be the leader of the Prohibition faction in

DAKOTA POLITICS.
News and Gossip from the Great
Territory.

The fact is worthy of note that in no con-
vention Of any party held in North Dakota
this year has there been an expression in
favor of the division of the territory. When
the question has been raised at all, resolu-
tons in favor of the admission of one state
have been adopted. o .caSionally Repub-
llcan politician is found talking for division,
under the impression that he will secure
favor in the South that way, but the people
of all parties IN that section want the
boundaries of the state to be those of the
present territory. The filing up of the
central region and the connection of the
sections with railroads have reduced the
arguments for division TO those which will
apply to any of the larger states, and the
political need of the Republicans to more
United States senators. There is growing
conviction that division is dead issue.
The Black Hills region cares much less
about division or admission than for the open
ing of the Sioux reservation. They will vote
very largely for the delegate who seems likely
to accomplish more for this object. without
mnch regard to politics. If the Democrats
put up strong man this should give him
much support in that section as. Clifford has
failed TO secure the passage OF the measure.
The next congress. from the indications, will
be even more strongly Democratic than the
last, and delegate in political accord with
the majority could evidently do more than
Republican. The Republicans are pledged
the credit of getting them right; now DEM
ocrat is needed.
La Moure county is all torn up, politically,
over the county seat matter. 1t is now located
at Grand Rapids, but which the town of La
MOure has designs on. The Republicans hao
two county conventions last week, one at
each town, and will run two machines. IT
there was a Democratic party in the county
it would have chance, but the few Dem
ocrats are too much mixed in this fight to
effect anything. La Moure city has just let

especially for use as a court house. The

ment to deliver an address on temperance

1t is reported that many of the sloughs in
the North, where hunters have usually gone
for ducks, are now without water, and the
Red river is so low that, unless heavy rains
fall, it is apprehended that it may freeze to

on the division question in November, and
