JOHN AND JERRY.

Uncle JERRY RUSK took run down
to Washington the other day, and while
there rambled into the senate chamber.
1t happened to be dull day in the sen-
ate, as INGALLS, and RIDDLEBERGER
were both out of town. Uncle JERRY
observed JOHN SHERMAN nOdding over
his desk under the inspiration of one OF
EDMUNDs' constitutional arguments; SO
he gave the doing Ohio senator a gen.
tie nudge under the fifth rib, with the
remark that he had one OF HOARD S
Wisconsin yarns that he wanted to re-
late. The two ambled off to lounge at
the rear end of the hall, and, as Uncle
JERRY is a slow talker, it took him
about one hour to reel Off a yarn that
BILL HOARD would have snapped out
in ten minutes.
The eagle-eyed correspondents in the
reporters gallery caught on to the con-
fidential cOnfab between the Ohio SEN
ator and the Wisconsin governor. 1t
didn't take them long to put this and
that together and start sensation.
That night the wires were clicking the
startling information that cOmbina-
ton had been made, and that the Re
publican ticket was to be SHERMAN and
RUsK. From such light trifles presi-
Dental booms are sometimes built.
After all, the SHERMAN-RUsK combi-
nation wouldn't be bad one. 1t would
do as well as any to fall into the BLAINE
trap that is going to be sprung on the
convention, and it would give Uncle
JERRY chance to use his razor on some
of the Wisconsin politicians, who have
been in the habit of jawing him.

WILL 1T BE DEPEW?

Railway Magnate DEPEW is certainly
giving practical exhibition of his ability
to run campaign as well as a, railroad.
The papers have of late been teeming
with stories of DEPEw's generosity. ex-
ecutive ability and general intelligence.
Special emphasis has been laid upon his
friendship for the wOrkingmen, and, in
brief, the signs that his literary bureau
is working double time are as numer-
ously scattered about as leaves in au-
tumn.
The effect of this energy also begins
to be apparent. 1t now looks as though
DEPEw would-go to Chicago with the
entire New York delegation at his beck
and call, an advantage in the race which
the numerous other candidates would be
obliged, however enviously, to admit.
Not only that, but it is promised that
the DEPEw headquarters shall be
packed with champagne and other good
things, free to all cOmerS. With the
wealth of the VANDERBuTS behind
him, practical necessity when the
horde of hungry and thirsty who will
attend the convention is taken into con-
sideratiOn, the other candidates will
have to admit that second very mate
rial advantage rests with Mr.. DEPEw.
So far as numerical strength is con-
cerned he is now in the lead, and the
chances are not against his staying
there-if the assertions of the DEPEw
boomers are to be believed. The nom
inee may not be Mr.. DEPEw, but it is un-
likely that it will be any one whom he
does not favor.

LANGUAGE SCHOOLS.

The presidents position in regard to
teaching in the English language in the
Indian schools is thoroughly sound. 1t
is the experience of all Indian educators
that civilizing influences are more read
lily accepted and more easily inculcated
after the pupil has acquired the Ian
guage of the whites. Though instruc-
ton would obviously be easier if given
in the language OF the pupil, it is
equally manifest that the net gain is
greater when at the same time instruc-
tion is given in the English language.
Besides, English is the tongue of the
the nation, and should be the only Ian
guage employed in any of the schools
under the states supervision. Particu-
larly is this the case with the public
schools of large cities. The government
recognizes officially only American citi-
zens, and only the language which
American citizens are supposed to speak
should be taught.
Other languages are valuable enough,
and it would be well if every one could
acquire knowledge of at least one of
them, but their teaching in the public

MADISON, Wis, April 4.-Gov. Jerry
Rusk's presidential boom was given an

large number of local Republicans and
others assembled at the state house and
proceeded to the depot to the tune of

fallen into the hands of a
mob of Milwaukee Polacks. His
delusion was soon dispelled when the
crowd began working both his arms at
once like pump handles and showers of
compliments were hurled at him like
shot from Gatling gun. Gov. Jerry
was modest enough to ask the boys
what they were there for, and the boys
winked one eye at the governor and re-
piled that they came down to see if he
had improved in health since he left
home. His health was found to have
improved greatly except that there were
some symptoms of newly acquired
malady like the one Mr.. Blaine is
said to have been cured of during his
trip abroad. The governor finally made
his way to his carriage, where his fam
lily awaited him. The crowd then went

MISSOURI ELECTIONS.
The Local Option Question Made
a Spirited Contest.

ST. LOUIS, April 4.-The municipal
elections throughout Missouri yesterday
were unusually spirited contests, much
interest being centered in the question
of local option. In many cases the old
government was completely overturned
by fusion of parties and nomination Of
citizens tickets. Sedalia for the first
time in several years elected a Repub-
lican mayor, Col. j. ID. CrawfOrI. st.
Joseph elected the whole Republican
ticket, headed by Englehart for mayor.
st. Charles elected Edward Quette, Re-
publican candidate for mayor. At JEFF
IerSon city no party lines were drawn.
Independence was thoroughly Demo-
cratic. Party lines were split and the
saloon element came out victorious. AT
Marshall the Democrats were victorious
over law and order ticket backed by
local option. At Clinton local option
was indOrsed. At Bonneville, c. G.
Bell, nRepublican, was elected mayor.
There were no party lines at Poplar
Bluff. AT Mexico G.. G. BasSford, Demo-
crat, was elected mayor. The Demo-
Gratis won an unexpected victory at
Carthage, electing Democratic mayor.
AT La Plata the former government was
completely upset and Charles n. Mitch
ell, OF the peoples ticket, was elected
mayor. Warrensburg and MarySville,
the Democrats were victorious. The
honors werO equally divided in the
numerous smaller towns throughout the
state, the interest being entirely local.

LIKE A BOOMERANG.
Col. Keys Tactics Rebound and
Result Seriously to Himself.

Special to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, April "A fact has
been developed IN connection with the
municipal election yesterday which re-
suited in the defeat of Col. Keys, Re-
publican candidate for mayor, that
there is something of breach between
the ex-boss and that branch of the party
commonly known as the "capitol
crowd" Keys is one of the strong sup
porteIs of Gen. Ginty, of Chippewa
Falls, for governor, and Ginty is not
loved by the 'capitol crowd" He eX-
pressed an opinion III his paper recently,
stating that it was time for the gang
that has been in the capitol ever since
the war to be fired out. Doubtless
Gen. Ginty believed he would
make himself solid with the young
Republican clubs by his attitude as ex-
pressed toward the ''old heads" but it
happens that the local Republican club
is managed by the capitol crowd, and
hence his boom struck the state house
like very cold wave, indeed. Keys
wanted to be elected mayor as step
toward securing an election as delegate
to the state convention, where his in
fiuence as q leader would throw the
support of a good share of the Southern
delegations to Ginty. Keys mighty
power when he was chairman of the
State central committee has not been
forgotten, and his aspirations to again
come to the top in state politics meets
with the cold shoulder from the powers
in the capitol. In consequence there is
a decided coldnesS existing at present
between the ex-boss and the young Re-
publicans. There was a very notable
absence of capitol men about the halls
yesterday, which may be attributed to
the circumstances above stated. If Col,
Keys is seeking to again become the
head of the Republican party in Wis
consin, he will evidently encounter
serious obstacles in the Young Repub-
lean clubs of the state.
