ject of the warmest congratulations.
Not only because the young wom-
an whom he may be fortunate
enough to win is possessed of
undoubted charms, graces and talents;
but for the reason that she may reason
bly, be expected to inculcate in him
something of the spirit of American in
stitutions-a spirit that in it's outward
manifestations can not fail to rebound
to the advantage of the people for whom
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN aids in making
laws.
In that view of the matter the sub
jects of Great Britain, too, are objects
of congratulation. And it is refreshing,
also, when the various English nonen-
titles who have married American girls
are called to mind to know that the
groom eXpectant is worthy of his good
fortune. He is, however. the exception
to the general rule.
American girls who choose their mates
from American citizens give themselves
far greater assurances Of happiness
than those who are lured to foreign
lands by the glitter of rank or title.

WHISPERS.
The other day the Whisperer noticed

The other day the Whisperer noticed
a floating paragraph in a newspaper to
the effect that Mrs. FRANCES HoDGsoN
BURNETT'S ''Little Lord FauntlerOy"
has had circulation of $4,000 copies in
this country alone, and that it has pene-
trated to nearly every corner OF the
globe, having been republished in sew
eral languages. AS illustrating the re-
mote hooks into which it has found its
way in this country, the Whisperer is re-
minded of the circumstances under
which he first read the book. Quite a.
long time ago he was riding cross
country in Montana. There wasn't d
sign of single human habitation, and:
the country was apparently as barren az
could be. Finally, near the end of his.
trip, he reached a log shack. where the
occasional traveller could secure a
meal. The house contained only three
rooms, but was large enough for the.
family which lived in it and earned a
precarious living by furnishing meals to
the wayfarers who occasionally dropped
In, as the shack was on the direct trait
to Fort Custer. Having ordered his
meal, the WhiSperer awaited it's prep
aration in the adjoining room. Looking
for newspaper or some other kind OF
literature with which to kill the time,
he discovered, lying in one corner, a
book. Investigation proved it to be
Little Lord FauntlerOy," and 1t had
evidently been well read. A passing
traveller had left it at the "shack."
And yet the effete East sneers at
Western culture.

THE CITY ELECTION.

There are only two more days to IN
tervene between now and the city elec-
ton. AS the result will decide the char
acter of the city's administration for the
next two years, the matter deserves the
thoughtful consideration of every voter
in the city. Assuming that every one
of the $4,000 registered voters will desire
to vote intelligently and cOnscientiously
and in the interest of economic govern
ment, we again direct public attention
to the ticket the Democrats have noml-
mated. 1t is thoroughly representative
of the best elements of st. Paul society.
Notwithstanding the vague and dis
tempered charges of an opposition parti-
san press concerning fraud and cOrrup-
ton, there is not a name On the Demo
cratic ticket that they have dared to
single out and cast aSpersiOnS upon the
individual. The ticket is clean one
from top to bottom, and there can be no
reasons of a personal nature for oppos-
my IL VI any pdII Ol III.
Then the whole canvass resolves itself
into the simple proposition whether or
not we are to swap a Democratic admin
istration off for Republican admins
tration. Naturally the first inquiry the
intelligent and conscientious voter will
make will be as to the necessity for
change of administration. If he takes
an impartial and unprejudiced view of
the question he must become convinced
that there is no necessity for change.
He needs only to recall the fact that we
have here not only the most prosperous
but the most economically governed city
in the world, whose prosperity and good
government are the result of Democratic
administration, to be convinced that
there is no occasion for change in the
administration Of our city affairs. And
then, when he takes into consideration
the fact that the ticket presented by the
opposition is made up largely of new
anu inexperienced IHCI, WlIlOu1 elIy
special qualification for managing the
huge interests of great city like ours,
he will be more thoroughly convinced
of the danger that would be involved in
a change of administration.
1t is simple question with the voter
whether to let well enough alone or to
incur the risk of bringing injury, or
possibly disaster, upon the city by in
Quoting new and untried administra-
ton into power.
Conservative and thoughtful voters
will not hesitate long in determining
what to Go. They will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, and vote it straight.

SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

The Indian question, about which our
Eastern friends say so much and know
so little, seems to be in fair way to be
solved at last. Fast following the Da-
kota marriage of Sioux and young
white woman from the national capital,
comes the announcement that another
Washington girl has married Choctaw
Indian in the Southwest.
If the fashion thus set is generally
adopted by romantic young women
whose sentiment is greater than their
popularity with eligible young men, the
Indian problem will be nearer solution
than it has yet been brought. The field
is an exceeding promising one. Its pos
sibilities are not limited to the very
commendable purpose OF civiliZing the
Indians, but they also indicate the solu-
ton of a problem which has for long
time vexed the New England states-the
disposition, matrimonially, of their sur
plus female population.
BY singular coincidence it happens
that the available number of Indian
braves in the country just about cor
responds with this feminine surplusage.
Here is a practical eXemplifcation OF
the truthfulness of the old adage, which
declares that for every JILL there exists
JACK, if he is only sought for in the
right direction.
Nor are the braves such bad catches.
in material sense. Every one of them
owns q farm of at least 100 acres, with
the right to make it more almost at
pleasure. A considerate government
provides each one with an annuity
which with thrift may be made do for
two. What more could want the
romantic but husbandless young women
and those Of uncertain age, for whose
disgust with single blessednesS the
New England press is spokesman?
Many young couples start out with less.
Of course there is the trifiing incon-
venience of an indolent husband who
does not speak the English language,
but ':love speaks a common tongue"
and we'll venture to say that the Indian
brave who didn't lose his laziness after
a years marriage with an energetic
New England maid would be dead.
Therefore, let the exodus to the West
begin. Rates are low, the farms are
waiting to be improved, and the Indians,
like BAGKIS, are willin'.

Shot by a Bear.

Philadelphia Times.
In a circus performing in Liverpool
some time ago there were among the
other curiosities cage of six perform
ing white Polar bears. During the en-
gagement their usual trainer was taken
sick, and the circus engaged the services
Of Richard Ruppenstahl, celebrated
lion tanner, to conduct the exhibition in
stead. The bears were not pleased at
the change, and did not hide their feel
ings towards the stranger. Everything
went on pretty well, however, until the
second part of the performance, in
which one of the brutes mounts stool
and fires a pistol. The pistol was got
ready and the bear mounted the stool.
While Richard was talking to the rest
of the keepers outside the den, the bear
pulled the cord and shot Richard in the
hand. The blood began to flow freely,
and it was soon discovered that the nail
of one finger was blown entirely off.
The keeper cannot quite make up his
mind whether the shooting was wilful
or accidental.

editorially to the matter of governments
going into the printing business, in
printing business cards on envelopes,
thus building up monopoly against
which private capital cannot compete.
No objection to the p. P.'s article, but it
should have been printed four or five

the postoffice department for at least
that length of time to PRINT the business

INTERN NATIONAL MARRIAGE.

1t is again asserted by London paper,
which claims to speak by authority, that
Hon. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, the IA
nous English statesman, is about to
marry the daughter of the American
secretary of war. Though the young
lady herself denies the rumor, yet, as
every one knows, young women are ira
ditionally accorded a certain amount of
latitude in their answers when qres-
toned regarding their matrimonial in
tentionS.
There still remains, despite the de-
niaI, sufficient uncertainty about the
marriage to warrant its consideration as
a possibility, If not as probability.
And in the event of its occurrence, Mr..
CHAMBERLAIN may well be the Oh

DRAMATIC DRIFT.

The BOstOnianS sang to good houses
at the Grand all this week, although the
business was not up to their first en-
gagement. Monday and Friday even
ings the opera house was packed with
fashionable audiences. "Mignon" was
the opera both evenings and proved the
best drawing card of the whole Boston
ian repertoire.
"Mignon" is not new opera. It had
a great run great many years ago, but
it has been taking long rest and is
new to the majority of theater-goers to-
day. New operas are scarce and hard
to get. Still, our best opera companies
would do the public kindness by
reviving more Of the old ones. 1t has
been a good while since stMaScot" and
"Olivette" have been sung. A revival of
either of those, or both, would take
with the public.
The attraction at the Grand the COM
ing week will be "Bunch of Keys" the
first half, including Wednesday mat
inee, and lover the Garden Wall'' the
latter part of the week. "Bunch of
Keys" will be played by the Sparks
company. under the management of
FRANK W. SAWYER. MARIETTA NASH
continues to play the part Of Teddy. and
JAMES B. MACKIE impersonates Jonas
Grimes. Among others in the cast are
ADA BoTHNER, MARIE BELL, ADA

BELL and TIM MURPHY.

Mr.. and Mrs. GEORGE S. KNIGHT are
so well known in "Over the Garden

out this season with new play, ''Baron
Randolph" but abandoned it. 1t was a
much more pretentious part than any
thing Mr.. KNIGHT had ever appeared
in. and, according to the criticisms of
the Eastern press, he did it well. But
it was Mr.. KNIGHTS misfortune to be
too we'll known in horse comedy, and
the public didn't want to see him in
high art.

Paul whom I met at Thomasville, Ga,

resorts, are on their way back to this de-

OF course am expected to say some
thing about the famous Florida hotel,
the Ponce de Leon; and after years of
experience among the finest hotels in
this country, must admit that the half
has not been told of the magnificence of
this modern home for the travelling
public. And this opinion was shared
by all with whom was brought in con-
tact, and the verdict was that the pro-

j. Il. Fore Real estate matters
bid fair to be pretty
paugh. quiet for year, at
least; that is my inn
preston obtained from conversation
with those who are in position to know
the status of the market, and the idea
prevails that enterprises already started
should be completed ere new ones are
inaugurated. 1t will, doubtless, be
long time before another deal like that
in which the ENDICOTT syndicate was
interested will be consummated in st.
Paul, and the reason for this is that
numbers of those who would like to
make investments in property already
have their hands full of paper and con-
siderable out in the financial inStitu-
tions. l suppose a thousand persons
have asked me what my future inten-
tiOns are regarding the block on Fourth
street, below the Globe building, and
whether or not propose to add stories
to the present structure? My answer
invariably has been that L would let the
future take care of itself, especially as
the property was already yielding
good return upon the investment, and
there did not seem to be any urgent
need for increasing expenses with no
certainty of good return in rents. The
other day bought fifty feet adjoining
my building, and after the edifice now
in course of construction by the insur-
ance company is completed l may make
up my mind to improve my property

Will There
Be a Flood? I

Gus rainfall, the re-
Be Flood? marks of gentleman
who, if not the oldest
inhabitant, may, by virtue OF his forty
years residence in Minnesota, claim to
be one of the Oldest, regarding the pos
sibility of serious food in the MiSSiS-
sippi may be interesting. The Missis-
Sippi, he says, has not been really high
for over twenty years. At the timeof
the last flood the water came up to
within foot of where the Wabasha
bridge now stands, and in fact it was
the cause of the building of the bridge,
since all the trade of the western part
of the river went to Minneapolis during
the high water, as the people could not
get over to st. Paul, as was their custom.
The flood swept down with such re-
sistless torrent that houses were swept
away as if they had been made of card
board. This gentleman thought there
were now indications that the Missis-
sippi was going ION high" again,
record would be reached. He says
friend of his, who recently returned
from the vicinity of Two Harbors, re-
ports the country to the north to be en-
tirely covered with snow to the depth
of two feet. This snow is now melting
and adding it's large proportion to the
swollen streams which the copious rain
fall has produced. If the dams at the
head of the Mississippi hold, and he
thinks they will, the high water will
not assume dangerous phase, but if
one of them should break, which is
quite possible when the enormous pres
sure and the diSintegrating force of the
frost are considered, there would be, in
his opinion, greater flood than the one
But the chances are we can safely pin
our faith to the dams.

Experience. ence of Senator Nc
MILAN well veri-
fies the assertion. Though the eX-Sena-
tor has been a lawyer for rather more
than thirty years, it was only quite
recently that he tried his first case in
the supreme court, of which for many
years he had been one of the judges.
Shortly after he was admitted to the bar
he was elected to small office; after he
finished there he became minor judge,
and then, the recognition of his judicial
cast of mind and of his legal learning
becoming general, he was appointed to
the supreme bench, where he served
for many years, in fact until he
was elected to the United States SEN
ate. He was kept there, as you well
know, until succeeded by Senator
DAVIS. So it befell that so long
period of his life had been passed in
official positions that it was only a few
weeks ago he was under the necessity
of appearing in the supreme court as
practicing lawyer. But it is safe to
say that none of the nervousness
usually felt by the young lawyer argu-
ing his first case before the supreme
court was experienced by the eX-sen-
atOr.

The fact that Editor
THOMPSON, of the Dis
patch, has never taken
Duke
Thompson.


his allegiance to Queen VICTORIA and
take out his papers as an American citi-
zen has excited good deal of comment
among those who have noticed Editor
THoMPsoN's readiness to point out to st.
Paul voters just the way they ought to
vote ;but it seems the reason is very plain
when you understand it. Some weeks
ago the fact was mentioned i'll this col
umn that Mr.. THoMPsoN's blood is the
bluest of the blue; that in fact, he is a
direct descendant of EDWARD, the
Black Prince, and if he ''had his rights"
would now be sitting on England's
throne. 1t seems, however, that,
if this is denied him, he may some
day wear ducal crown. The
story goes that Mr.. THOMPSON is
in the direct line of succession to the
Duke of Beaufort, and that but two
lives intervene between himself and the
title. One OF these persons is aged
sixty, the other fifty; neither has chill
dren, and Editor THOMPSON is the next
heir. Should he renounce his allegi-
ance to the queen and become an Amer
lean citizen, he would lose the title and
the estates appertaining to it. That is
said to be the secret of his refusal to be-
come one of the voters he is so fond of
lecturing in his paper.
A prospective duke running an Amer
lean newspaper is rather an anomaly,
isn't he?
