The Rerje,g of Monday, dated Tuesday
had its accustomed claws of crow to
throw up. Wise is seemingly tired. He
reverts to that very good man whom ey-
erv MinnesOtian loves to honor, ex-Sen-
ator Vino ON, in very pathetic terms,
while six wears ago nothing was too
mean for HIM to say against Minnesota's
favOrIte son. IN 50 Wise was bowling
against Mr.. WINDOWS 100000 resi-
dence in Washington in order to preiu-
dice the people of the state against his
reelection. Now he claims that Mr..
Window had only a "humble home. 4"
That is just what Mr.. Window did have,
bat six years ago it served Wise TO falsi-
ty to the extent of making il into mill
lions, and now he scruples TO the same
method of Misrepresentation, or. more
plainly, falsifications, by trying to make
out that Mr.. Sabin is the rascal. But
our very dear and beloved" baby bow
makes himself ridiculous and knocks
the theology entirely out of his studied
argument when be says in one breath
that Senator Sabin does not own dol
lars worth of property" and in another
that he maintains an establishment
which overshadows Mr.. WINDOWS hum
bic house as palace does an average
mechanics home," and still he has no
visible means of support Oh, thou poor
deluded soul. Election must have turn
ed thy head! Give us another turn at
the wheel, or, better, drop a nickle in
the slot and see how much you weigh.

| SOME very powerful editorials are now
being written IN discussion of the
Southern question. There are great
many plans being proposed for securing
the prosperity of the South and ali OF
them contemplate that the people OF
that section must be used with the ten
derest care, nothing done to dIsplease
them, and their misdeeds passed over
with charitable leniency. Perhaps this
is all very well, but did it ever occur to
these essayists and economists that il
the Southern people properly made up
their minds to behave themselves, to
respect the rights of their fellow citizens
and obey the laws of their country, that
there would be no Southern question to
settle? If the Southern people were as
willing to be good citizens as those of
the Northwest, for instance, there would
be no occasion for each incoming Presi-
dent to rack his brain for a policy that
will not goad them to further lawless-
ness. Why should more leniency be
shown the South than would be to law
breakers in any other part of the coun-
try? The negroes are at the South and
will stay there. The people there are
as much or more responsible for that
situation than anyone else, and as law
abiding citizens they should be willing
to make the best of it. There are many
classes of voters In the North which the
more cultured elements dislike to see
get into high places, but the former do
not think of breaking the laws of the
country in order to rid themselves of
the annoyance, nor do they attempt to
deny the right of any American citizen
to get as high as he can. 1t should not
be different in the South, especially
when the alleged Objectionable class is
one which has shown itself as suscepti-
BILE of cultivation and education as any
other in the country. No one asks the
Southerners to accept the negroes into
social equality and intercourse-the lat
ter even do not want that. But when
the Sout bern Democrats make up their
minds to respect the civil rights guaran
teed to negroes by the constitution there
will be an end of the vexed Southern
problem. And there never will be any
settlement of it in any other way.

a Big ri Il Story.

a most remarkable story Of trout fish
ing comes from Cape Breton Island, in
the extreme northern part of Nova
Scotia. The narrator'S hero is himself,
and he says that one writer, being tired
of salt beef, went out to catch trout for
his table. In that locality the fish are
quite plentiful whom the waters of Lake
Ainslcc are sufficiently warm to cause
them to seek cooler retreat, and On
tho day in question the conditions must
have been unusually favorable, for the
iishermanS only trouble was in the OK
crti0n Of landing the numerous catches.
SO eager, indeed, were tho fish that they
would often jump above the water to get
the bait, and the sportsman concluded
to facilitate matters by dangling the
hook about foot.aDoyc the water and
getting on his knees and giving the fish,
as fast as they jumped up, q dcxterous
box on the cars thet sent them sprawling
on the ice. The plan worked admirably,
and the narrator's hand Was kept So
busy that he was finally forced by sheer
fatigue to put an end to the novel
pastime. What is called q conservative
estimate places the quantity of fish Sc
cured at over four barrels. The gentle
man was probably willing TO return to
salt beet before he exhausted the supply
on hand. What paradise for anglers
that particular stream must be! And
what an inventive genius that lone fish.

prove to be the thing he must handle for
n living afterward. 1t is good fog the
bookisl boy to draw him away from
books. But, most of all, it is good for
the nOn-bookish boy, too, in showing
him that there is something that he can
