The Hu,nor of It.

Political campaigns have their humors. Sometimes there is so much of a serious fight on hand that they are not perceived until the smoke has cleared away. This year Democrats are able to enjoy all the humorous happenings.
 Since Gresham, chiefly on account of the very pretty handling of The Chicago Tribune, has collared the leader for the Republican presidential nomination, sew eral features of the landscape partake of the ludicrous. That the leading tariff re- form paper of the northwest should be rushing to the front with a candidate whose record is for tariff reform, while the leaders in congress are committing the party irretrievably to a platform of high protection. not as an incident but as the leading object of the tariff, is incongruous, to say the least. That Judge Gresham, who was President Arthurs adviser in the cabinet when the Republican administration pro- fessed to desire sharp reduction of tariff duties, should be toying with nomina- tion which must pledge him positively to the plan of reducing the surplus by cut ting off whisky and tobacco taxes and leaving the tariff as it is, is a humorous example of weakness among public men. We shall soon hear that Judge Kelley has visited Judge Gresham and converted him. The fruits of the Gresham repent ance, like the fruits of the Garfield re- pentance, which was one of Judge Kelley s masterpieces of propagandism, may be the Republican nomination. If he were more of person his success in trading principles fer the chance of preferment might in years to come be the theme for a | chapter as cruelty truthful as Trevellyan' s l description of Wedderburn's apostasy. Still another humor is the pallor of the | Blaine boom since the Gresham compeJi. tion set in. Three weeks ago the Repub' | lican party was in a hysterta of Blaine hurrah The Kansas Republicans, who don't know much, but always try to screech the prevailing Republican shibbo leth louder than anybody else, passed over 1 all western men and made their instruc. tions for Blaine, informing the country that he was the essence distilled of states manship and patriotism. Now Illinois Indiana, Minnesota and Iowa have either | instructed for Gresham or are ready te take him up when called upon The Kansas innocents are in state of mind They are not sure whether they have beer in a hurry to make fools of themselves O, not.
 The biggest comedy of the whole show however, is the uncertainty about the future apparent in the councils of Repub licanism. If they fail to unite on tariff reform measure, they cannot ask the country to put faith in another plank like that of 1884. If they do agree upon 2 measure of reduction they will not bt able to draw money from their fattest naonopolists. If they nominate Blaine they feel sure of defeat, and if they droI him and take up Gresham the Blaine mer will be mad. The old campaigners like Sherman and Allison are sulking ovel Greshams success in the west and Harri son is whetting his knife.
 Tho Democrats are getting more fur out of the situation than they have ou of any presidential year since 1S5e.-Kan sas City Times.

BIaine'S Ambieuity.

It is qu;Se likely that MT. Blaine's latest authorized interview will worry the vari- ous Republican presidential candidates considerably. He still covers up his in- tentions with the cloak of ambiguity. He will do nothing to relieve the suspense which is racking their ambition ridden minds.
 It would have been so easy for him to declare finally and emphatically, in a way that would have allowed doabt to exist no longer, that he is not a candidate and would not accept the nomination If ten dered him. It would have been so easy for him to have left clear field for the other entries in the race. But he chooses to do nothing of the kind. He simply adheres to his former declaration of gilt tering and ambiguous generalities, and leaves the gentlemen on the anxious seat to make the most of 1t.
 He simply says nothing to prevent his friends from using their utmost endeav- ors to bring about his nomination. and leaves the wey open for his acceptance or declination as he may at the time see fit. Thus, then, if the nomination comes to him as the unanimous expression of his party, he will be in position to give the impression that it is forced upon him, and that he cannot, therefore, do other. wise than accept, while, if it does not come to him, he will not labor under the humiliation of having made losing can. vaSS.
 MT. Blaine's exasperating reticence and ambiguous loquacity may be very cruel indeed to the other candidates in his party, but it is not bad politics.-St Paul Globe

CONFIDENTIAL POINTERS.

IL may be the general inn
IRON preston abroad that mining
COUNTY and numbering are the sole
FARMS industries OF this section, but
such an impression il err
rOnenus, very much so. Farming has
been carried on very successfully in Iron
county for number Of years and with
the best results IL is evident that not
many years will elapse, before farming
will cut an important figure in the i'm
dustries OF the county. The soil IL ex-
ceptionnlly fertile; all kinds Of vegetables
can be grown with certainty and even
some classes Of cereals viii mature,
though the seasons are rather too short
20 engage in growing all kinds of grain,
success would attend some ventures
while Others would be liable TO fail. iron
county boasts Of some quite large farms
from which good crops are annually
harvested. One thing to the advantage
oi farming in this county is that all OF
the produce can be readily disposed OF
right at home at good prices. There is
no plausible reason why farming should
not become leading industry. Farm
ing has been carried on extensively for
