STRAY SUNBEAMS.

In giving some "reminiscences of old
times in Minnesota, Hon. WILLIAM P.
MURRAY alludes to the fact that at the
time Ramsey county made its first ap-
preparation of $4,000 for building a
court house not member OF the board
of county commissioners could write his
name. When the county bonds were
signed each commissioner appended his
cross mark. The bonds were taken to
Boston and put on the market, but
couldn't be sold. They were quoted in
the stock market columns of the Boston
papers as Minnesota Cross Marks"
The bonds were finally bought back and
new ones issued, to which Mr.. MURRAY
and two other friends kindly signed the
names of the commissioners, and then
the bonds went like hot buckwheat
cakes when honey is sweetest.

If Postmaster General DICKINSON

Nebraska sent up about their mail matt

that he doesn't pay some attention to the
complaint that Minnesota has been
whispering into the ears of the postoffice
department for, 10! these many years.
An order has been issued by the new
postmaster general requiring a fast mail
service both ways between Omaha and
Chicago on and after March 13,by which
Omaha mail matter will be expedited by
at least four hours. Now. let similar
order be issued relating to the mail
service between st. Paul and Chicago.

They have story in Washington that
Mr.. BLAINE'S i'll health is the real secret
OF his declining to be candidate. 1t is
asserted that a confidential letter from
Mr.. BLAINE's physician to a member of
congress asserts that Mr.. BLAINE is in
really a precariouS condition, and may
pass away at any time. The doctor is
certain that he could not endure excite
ment, and prevailed upon him to keep
out of politics this year. There is
nothing that man would not give in
exchange for his life, so Mr.. BLAINE
wrote the letter.
Dr.. TALMAGE does not believe that
WON an suffrage would operate to
stop the rum traffic. He says there are
too many women tipplers; besides, the
respectable majority of women would
not vote, even if the law permitted
them.

Keeping Warm by Force of Will.


A young acquaintance of mine pro-
fesses to have made great, though ac-
cidentaI, discovery during the late cold
spell. BY some misfortune he was de-

Perhaps it is trifie shabby, and he was
too foOlishly proud to use it, At all
events, during these two days lie wore
no OvereOat, but he tells me that he
kept warm through sheer force of will.
BY means of some subtle action of mind
upon body, which he finds it difficult to

a degree quite sufficient to make ND for
the want of extra covering. | have no

TARIFF AND MONOPOLY
The Surplus Piling Up.

The house committee on ways and means
appears to be making slow Roadway with the
tariff bill. In fact. it is said that the majority
have struck good-sized snag in the iron and
steel schedule, and are at deadlock on the
enlargement of the free list. AT one meeting
four or five articles are put on the free list,
man has the only original bill" and it is
stated that he can only read it when aided by
the full committee. Meanwhile the session
wanes and the surplus continues to pile up.

No Power Can Prevent 1t.

Leavenworth, Kas., Standard,
Nearly three years Of the Democratic ad-
ministration of affairs have passed away and
not one of the evil effects prophesied by Re-
publican campaign officials has come to pass.
The president in his policy has borne out the
good opinion expressed by Senator Ingalls,
and he is now as then, the rising hope of
those who love their country more than they
do their party, and at the same time the
popular son of the legions who have faced
defeat after defeat for SO many years. There
has never been an administration in recent
years that presents so few points of vulner-
ability to the attacks of the enemy. If he is
a candidate no power can prevent his tri-
lmphant reelection.
