There's something in name after all.
Defeated candidate for congress, Morrison,
lives at Waterloo, Ill.

William R. Springer came near falling
before the onslaught of the ProtectionistS
also. If he had been scalped he could have
posed with his colleague Morrison as an
ornament in obscurity.

Colorado has at last turned from the error
of its ways and elected a brunette to con-
gress. The red top-knots of Belford and
Synes no longer rally the hosts and lead
them On to victory.

Times change and restaurants change
with them. 1t is noticed that the principal
items on the bill of fare of every new
French restaurant that opens in St. Paul
are sour kraut and pork and beans.

A snake that stands upright and walks
along on its tail is the latest novelty in Da-
kota. This accomplishes one good result
anyhow. 1t proves that Clifford is not the
only freak in the territory.

There are at least 1000 daily newspapers
in the United States which published the
fullest and most accurate election re-
| turns in the country. The telegraph edi-
itors should bold national convention and
pass a resolution of congraJulation.

There will be a chance now for the poet
and the writer of sweet love stories. And
what delightful relief it will be after
such feast of politics.

"Blasted Hopes and Blighted Ambi-
ton" is the title of an essay to be read be-
fore the Lake City Lyceum by eX Senator
Rahilly on next Wednesday evening.

1t is the general impression that 20. K.
P. Il. K" would rather have lost every
thing than to see the willy and irrepressible
Ignatius Donnelly sneak in by the little
side door.
The st. Paul man, who makes a mash
on every stage beauty that comes
along. did not make much Roadway
with the seductive Lillian Russell during
her week here with the Duff company. 1t
was generally known that poor Sullivan
had Just been liberated from the county
jail in London, and that he couldn't posi-
bly, cross the ocean in time to get to st.
Paul to stand guard at the stage door after
the performance; but. for some ineXplica-
bic reason. the airy. fairy Lillian was not
! prosecuted by the dudes. and she has prOba-
bly, gone away impressed with the idea
that ST. Paul is pretty nice place. despite
the bad stories circulated about it by Min
neapOliS.

Who ever heard of such a racket in one
| family? While Frank Hurd was wrestling
a desperate match with Romeis in Ohio,
John Heard was holding his adversaries at
bay at the point of revolver in Missouri.
This is the stuff of which our congressman
are made.
~
If John L. Sullivan comes around here
again we will put Mayor Rice or Judge
| Wilson or Judge Macdonald against him.
1t is not believed that either of them can
be knocked out in four rounds-or in any
number Of rounds as to chat.

A little girl who has been down Fourth
street several times during the past two
months. said to her mamma yesterday as
they passed the GLOBE building: ''Why,
mamma. is il never going to stop growing?
1t will touch the sky before long" The
GLOBE will never stop growing, little girl,
and it will soon fill the entire Northwest.
Whenever GLOBE subscribers die after this
they will be allowed the privilege of start
ing on the journey to heaven from the
GLOBE roof, thereby shortening the dis
lance to be travelled and saving valuable
time.

st. Paul is wonderful city, and no
mistake. The average citizen takes no
notice of many things that other cities OF
equal size would 20 crazy over. For in
/ stance, Duff's opera company has been here
! for whole week and nobody has said any
thing about Bessie Cleveland being related
to Rose or Grover. We're too busy with
real estate to even think of such things.

Col. O'Leary was defeated in his aspira-
tions. which is sad news for Col. W. Ii. IL.
| Taylor and Rev. j. Fletcher Williams.
They had laid in a stock of horsesh0es and
were in daily practice. Col. Taylor said
| that Col O'Leary had cut a pretty wide
/ swath in his own section, where he had
won the title of champion of Murray
county," but he and Williams would take
some of the starch out of HIM when he
came up to the city and put on any of his
airs. But now the fun has been spoiled.

The ardent admirers of the great c. K.
Davis. who have dreamed for years of the
glad day when the thrilling Oratory of this
Northwestern prodigy would I'LL the senate
chamber at WashingtOn-canteri around
the galleries, caroming from seat to seat
and soothing the ear of the somnoent
statesman-may be doomed to bitter disap-
pOintment. Two short months ago Mr..
DAVIS was the sole and undiSputed proprie-
tor of a genuine boom. A Juggernaut car,
labelled Tariff " has since rolled over it,
however. and its dimensions have been
wonderfully decreased.

1t is not pleasant to stand by and see
talent and merit slowly but surely descend
the scale. At one time Zelda Seguin's name
always appeared in flaming letters at the
head of the list on the wall posters, but
now il is at the foot The world demands
something new and novel. and we see the
name of Russell where Seguin used to be.
and even Jarbeau, Lueette and Cleveland
are placed ahead of her. All of these lat
ter are spring Chickens" and have come
into prominence since Segun was at the
zenith of her fame. They had the happy
faculty of knowing how to catch on III
