In connection with the speakership con-
test-which has not been waged very
warmly of late-the rumor is current thai
Col. Merriam's friends are quietly circulat-
ing the statement that William E. Lee is 6
son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, of Confederate
fame. This is done altogether in Repub
lican strongholds.

Hurley, Wis, seems to be a very lively
place-as well as very wicked place-ii
the story that comes from Chicago is to be
believed. Mr.. w. II. Griffin. an old and
reputable former resident of st. Paul. is
located there. If he would write letter
to the Police Gazette, giving plain and
unvarnished statement of the facts. il
would relieve the suspense of the public,
and, possibly, save the reputation of Hur-
ley from irretrieyable wreck.

| Secretary Manning and Gov. Pierce are
causing the country more anxiety than any
two men in America The papers have
something to say every day about one or
both of them resigning. Pierce should hold
a telegraphic seance with Manning and
reach a definite conclusion. Then there
would be nobody to talk about except Gar
| land and Sparks.

The ST. Paul billiard hall proprietors are
gradually coming to disregard the Sunday
law, and open their doors on that day.
Mayor Rice always objected, but Congress-
man Rice can afford to be liberal. He wants
to get accustomed to the wide-open policy
before going to Washington.

If Capt. Snider is successful in his con-
test for Gross seat there will be pail of
gloom in the neighborhood of Col. Mer-
RAM. The colonel expects the Hennepin

Ing effect on this class of sport in st. Paul
in future Col. Wood will have to try it
on the people of Hurley. Wis. While the
suspicion is probably unjust, there is a

Slowly but surely the star of empire
moves westward. Duluth's fire was not
equal to Chicago's. but it gives promise of
even greater things in the future. And

A PUZZLE FOR OBTUSE PEOPLE.
Who thinks it's wrong to go and pay
To hear good people sing and play
On any holy Sabbath day?
T..
Who rolls his ewes in awful horror
If one on Sunday tries to borrow
What might be put of till to- morrow?
TIC.
Who thinks it's not the proper caper
For one to scan the SUNDAY paper
Though there's no female limos that taper?
TIC.
Who all the week has nice hot meat,
Except on Sunday, when he'll eat,
Content his lunch of cold pigs feet?
&c.
Who never keeps the cook in doubt
By asking her to stay about
To work when it's her Sunday out?
L. G.
Who walks to church, though it's afar,
And will not ride upon the car
Because his conscience gets jar?
TIC.
Who lifts his voice in loud dissent
When there are kicks on ID per cent
No matter on what day its lent?
Tom Collins?
Who little recks or little wots
Who gets the worst of all the plots
In the big deals on corner lots?
Tom Collins?
Who loves Uhe broad and liberal plan
Bywhich to judge our fe!loSman-
With conscience clear-no other ban?
Now WI" nc d0n'''
Just think what a complication will be
brought about if Woods contest Gusts Mer-
Ram and Snider forces Gross out OF his
seat. Col. Lee would not like it much if.

Coon Greek and Black Hammer. Some of
the Jumps were pretty long, but the COM
