LET the GLOBE say to the people of Mime
apolis and st. Paul that if they want bit of
space IN the Exposition they must speak now
or forever hereafter hold their peace,' said
Secretary Byron yesterday.
At last a police officer has been found who
can shoot and hit something. 1t was prob
ably because he shot in the dark.

sadly unused Deputy Sheriff Egge yesterday,
as he bit the end off cigar he had just
swindled reporter out of and smiled q mel
ancholy grin. "You see,' he continued,
there are rats in the Jail, and some of them
are getting SO big and fat that there is no
living IN the same house with them. Why,
some of them are as large as small cats and
will kill any feline we can put in to hunt
them. Let me tell you what I saw few days

It broke q small party all up a few days
ago to see an eX-policeman pull roll of bills,

The St. Paul Globe an1iously inquiries

loo, the talented poet of the Chicago Tribune,
has weakly fallen by the wayside in the race
for the senatorial nomination from the Third
Illinois district?" We hasten to answer this
1nterrogatory, in the negative. Col Water
loo has not fBllen; he is not of the falling
kind. He is in the hands of his friends, where
he has been and where will be. A man who
is in the hands of his friends never falls. But
why does the Globe PROFOUND its impertinent
question? Has it observed touch of gloom
shade OF melancholy, in the coloneFs poetry
of late? This has been owing to the naturally
facilitating influences of the early peach
season.-Chicago News.

so suddenly has wiped all those poor blind
pigs out of existence in this city. An early
riser was telling that the other morning he
spied on the municipal horizon jata-mor-
ganatic view of the last attendance upon those
unfortunates. It was the funeral procession
and long one. Capt. Judson was chief
mourner and being the only church member
present in good standing, he performed the

''Gilman minus the Scandinavian vote
equals dead raj" quotes the Journal but
George NJ. HarbitZ said yesterday that Gil
man will have it and be more like a live rat
in the fall campaign. BY the way, quotations
like this are rather injudicious on the part of
the Journal. 1t is rather early yet to bring

men which has strong qualifications for null
tiplying itself, and the Journal knows how
ugly it sounds when plurality of those little
things are alluded to in political sense.
