CONVENTION OF CANDIDATES.

CONVENTION OF CANDIDATES.
1t will be observed that with the wilyness
of a good politician Senator MCMILLAN is
chary about expressing his views on any Of
the great questions now before congress.
In an interview with the Chicago News he
is quoted as saying thath expects this con-
gress to do nothing of Importance but
adds: eff the Republicans were in power
in both houses | have no doubt something
would be done with regard to the national
banking system and Internal revenue"
JACK BUNsBEE himself would not have
explained the situation more clearly than
that. Inasmuch as the Republicans were
in power in both houses for something like
twenty years. and that during Republican
supremacy the national banking system and
the internal revenue were both established
it is little difficult of comprehension to
know what more the Republicans would do
in respect to these two matters than they
have done. The senator is quoted further
as saying that the only measure of general
interest to Minnesota before congress is a
bill for the right of extension through the
Indian reservation for the st. Paul & Mani
toba road. The senator has peculiar idea
of what interests the Minnesota people.
The extension of an important railway
line is all right enough in its
place. but it is merely matter
of incidental interest in comparison with
some other questions that are before con-
gress. There is the interstate commerce
bill. for instance. the tariff, the currency,
the labor question and hundred other
measures of superior importance. These
are the questions that the people want to
hear about. They want to know in advance

Yrs. Cleveland Keeps the House.

BaltlmOfe American.
Mrs Cleveland has taken into her own
hands the management of the White house.
Hitherto the president ran things, now
Mrs. Cleveland is housekeeper and ruler.
Last spring. just before the president went
away, he gave his cook, Seigle, a vacation
and also recommendation. The latter
was written in the most fulsome style, and
recommended the man cook in the highest
terms. When he left, the president in
formed him that he would only have va
cation of few months, and that he would
notify him when he wanted him back. Not
many weeks ago the president wrote to
Seigle to come back. and was surprised to
! receive a letter stating that the recommen-
datiOn had proven such good one. and
that he had such good place, that he
could not think of coming back at the old
wages, but wanted an increase. Mrs.
Cleveland got hold of the letter before the
president could answer it and vetoed it at
once. She remarked that she could get
cook as good as Seigle at the old wages,
and that she would not yield to the strike.
Then and there she took the management
of the household affairs into her own hands.
