HUSTLE.

The editor of the st. Paul Express
gives this bit of advice to the young
man who talks of going West:
.'There is money for the young man
who will go out there and hustle
Those who don't want To do that can
get along just as well in the East. If
you go West with energy and perse-
verance and make up your mind to
take what comes during the first few
years without making a face at it, you
will do well. Those are the only kind
of people that we want out there"
There's world of sense in this, but
it is "a poor rule that won't work both
ways. What is good for Dakota is
good for Vermont. The "hustler" up
here is getting along very well and is
doing very little grumbling. There
are undoubtedly circumstances and
conditions under which it is wise for
young men and old men to go West,
but those who leave New England with
the idea that they will find an "easier
chance" somewhere else are pretty sure
to pay dear for their experience. The
West offers nothing to the man that
does not hustle neither does the East.

Such is Royalty.

After her years of mourning Queen
Victoria commands Hengler's circus to
appear at Windsor castle for per-
formance at the royal riding school,
so the cable announces. On it's arrival,
by the queens invitation, the entire
company lunched in the castle. After
the queens nun-Ii<e seclusion this af-
fair looks very like jump from the
sublime to the ridiculous and the
general query now is, does this mean
her return to social life in England.

nominate the Old Ticket.

The old ticket is the thing. Nomi-
nate Blaine and Logan and there will
be no need of brass bands, or speeches,
or parades, or fireworks, or even of
committees. They would walk into
the national capital almost without OPP
position. Even Harper's Weekly
weuld support them, L do believe.
There is no other man than Blaine
who can be elected. Sherman and LO-
gan both have friends who favor them
for president, but Blaine is matchless
in strength in and out of the party as
a republican. James A. Hall of

The French WIN. Dispute the Claim

During her lecture last Sunday
evening in Music hall, Mrs. Hunt, in
speaking of the rapid increase of the
foreign population in this country,
said: "New England is rapidly be-
coming New Ireland" The French
Catholics on our northern border will
dispute this claim. Observing people
cannot have failed to notice the steady
increase of French Canadians in all
the New England towns, more partic-
ularly north of the 44th parallel. They
already own much of the real estate in
Orleans, Franklin, Chittenden, La
noble and Caledonia counties, while
the manufacturing towns as far south
as SuncOOk and Manchester just swarm
with them. 1t is no secret that the
French leaders are working for the
occupation and control of New Eng
land, the home of the Pilgrim fathers ;
and it is not unlikely that generation
or two hence, with the constant remOv-
al of the Yankee West, and the rapid
increase in the French population, that
such will be the case. If it should
ever be, the cause can be attributed
mainly to the objection of the average
Yankee boy to till the soil and of the
average American woman to beaI
children.

one of the best burlesques that has

an elaborate take-off of the newspa
pers which disfgure their columns

were mainly local and the editors OF
the Herald and GlObe-bOth "illustrat-

AS a sample of this work, under the
benign face of Benjamin Franklin APP
pears the name of E. b. Haskell, editor
of the Herald, with these remarks /:
"This cOuntenance. it will be seen, is
expressive of impetuous enterprise in
every line. The portrait represents
the editor of the Herald in the act of
uttering his fiery and immortal senti-
ment 'Give us two scare-heads night,
