ACANDIDATE,s FREAK.

When stateSman'S brain becomes af-
flicted with senatorial aspiration it is
funny to observe how cranky he becomes.
Judge REAGAN. the big framed. anti-mo-
noDuly Texas politician, is a striking illus
tration of this. Among the things for
which REAGAN has become famed during
his twenty years service in congress, none
Aas been more conspicuous than his faith
fulness at the post of duty. No matter
when the visitor entered the hall of the
house of representatives he could always
find REAGAN at his desk. If every other
member was in the lobby, the burlv Texan
was in his seat, with his hand to his ear,
intently listening to the monotone of the
reading clerk as he went through the unin-
teTeAting routine of calling bills by their
titles Whenever there was roll call, no
matter who else was absent, REAGAN re-
Sponded to his name. 1t was, therefore, a
matter of no small surprise when the vote
was being taken last Saturday on the MoRRI-
son tariff bill. that REAGAN did not respond
TO his name. All eyes were Immediately
turned to the desk usually occupied by the
Texas statesman. but his seat was vacant.
Runners We're dispatched in every direction
TO find him. The capitol was ransacked
from top to bottom, the hotels were
visited, but no tidings of REAGAN
could be had. 4 feeling of alarm prevailed
in the halls Of ma tiOnal legislation lest the
veteran anti m0nopolist had fallen victim
to some base plan concOcted by the corpora
tiOps to hidnap or aSSaSSinate him. Mem
bers spoke 20 each other in bated breath.
The tally clerk seemed to forget his arith-
metic and fingered long over the sheets Of

FERROUS absence. The tale was soon told.

TIE SENATORIAL CANVASS.

4 good many people were disposed to at
tribute Senator MCMILLAN'S silence in the
last campaign to a lack of interest in the
political situation. The suppostion was
hat the senator felt assured that the time
had come to hand over the senatorial toga
to his successor. and that in consequence he
felt no decided interest in the result Of the
election. f. will be remembered that the
GLoRE did not take this view of it, but
gave different Interpretation to the SEN
at0r'S silence. The GLOBE said at the time
that Judge MCMILLAN had purpose for
lying low and keeping quiet, that he was
taking notes while the other fellows were
doing the talking. and that when the legis-
lature met it would be discovered that Nc
MILAN was on deck with a strong con-
tingent at his back. As the time approaches
for the assembling of the legislature, the
correctness of the GLOBES prediction is
daily becoming more manifest. Senator
MCMILLAN is not only a candidate for re-
election. but be has his coat off and is work
inc for it with the energy of a wood
chuck digging a burrOw for his winter
quarters. The announcement that the
senator was coming home to spend the h0li-
days created a commotion in the camps of
the other senatorial candidates. 1t was
the first time they realized that MCMILLAN
really had his fighting qualities aroused.
When the cheftain Of a Highland clan
buckles on his armour and sounds the slogan
everybody knows that 1.-The delI's TO pay"
Ard that's why there is such a huTrying to
and fro and such a hubbub in the ranks of
the Lowlanders at this time. MCMILLAN
is on the scene xvi bIuid in his e'e."
From the present outlook the contest is
going TO open with DAVIS and MCMILLAN
leading the opposing forces. and neither
strong enough to win the first round. The
sea ttering vote is likely to be considerable.
There are so many conflicting elements in
n nnesota politics that nothing can be

sufficient force to make the fight an inter
esting one. Independent of his own per-
sonal following, 1t is evident that Nc
MILAN will attempt to unite al the anti
DAVIS elements in his support. But just
here will be the rub. That part Of the anti
DAVIS element which is not committed to

that the Dark Horse is TO he the winner and
it will feel inclined to hold on to the dusky-
hued nag until the contest is decided.

THE GLAZIER HUMBUG.

The absurd pretenSions of Capt. WILL
ARD GLAZIER to the primary discovery of
the source of the Mississippi were so effect
ually dssipated by the GLOBE some weeks
since that the persistence of himself and
his friends in urging the redoubtable cap
tain'S claims, in spite of the incOntrovert-
ible evidence to the contrary, reaches the
height of impudence. ignoring the pal
pably just accusations of plagiarism against
GLAZIER's published account of his trip
and the recorded evidence of the visit of
earlier explorers to the lake south of ItaSca.
the friends of the claimant evade the queS-
ton by asserting that the SO-called Lake
Glazier''-called Elk lake by the Indians
Is the source OF the Mississippi. That is
cheerfully granted, but it is when GLAzIER
pretends he was the original discoverer OF
Elk lake that he appears as humbug.
Not only, as heretofore shown. is a
map of the lake and vicinity in the pos
session of the United States land Office, but
each of the earlier visitors to the lake pub
liShed an account of his journey. When
GLAZIER maintains that Elk lake is the
true source he simply asserts what every
well-informed person believes, but when he
claims the honor of having been the first
one to have demonstrated that fact he
should be met with deserved ridicule and
increduiity. That he continues in his as
sertions may be probably due to the fact
that he has told the story of his great dis
covery" so often that he now really believes

Charlenlas ne's Hall.

Sl. JbLiGS 0dZ0liO
A historic spot, noteworthy in the early
life of medieval Germany, is doomed to
disappear beyond recognition. Ingelheim
was favorite residence Of Charlemagne,
where he built great palace and monas-
terry, and laid out pleasure grounds. From
the hill where he had fixed his own dwell
ing he remarked the early disappearance of
the winter snow from the JohannISberg and
the slopes of Rudesheim. and he had vines
brought from Italy and planted in these
places. which instinct told him would pro-
duce good wine. This was the first intro
duction of the vine into Germany.
Few remains Of the buildings now exist.
What Their extent must have been may be
inferred from the fact that from the Ingel-
helm hill to the Rhine is fully two miles,
and yet the river is said. in all accounts, to
have washed the palace walls. 1t is this
hill and immediate neighborhood which is
known among the people by the name OF
"Charlemagne's hall" Some pillars were
standing in the last century; but they have
been long since scattered. One of them is
preserved at Mayence. A great champagne
grower, NJ. de Barry, purchased the prop
erty some yeaas since. But he died; and it
has passed into the hands of limited liza
bility company. who have had the place
surveyed, and purpose letting it out in small
peasant holdings.
