WALKS AND TALKS.

a measure. they have been lost Sight or
The most important one-One. however,
who has been duly hoDored-is Hon.
jeremiah NJ. Rusk. secretary of the de-
partment of agriculture and one of
President Harrison's cabinet. There is
probably no man in the Western cOun-
try better known than Mr.. RuSk, and
everywhere the somewhat unpoetlcal,
though Scriptural name of Jeremiah
has been corrupted to plain and UMPIRE
tentiOus Jerry" Some call him I'm
Gle Jerry" but just how they assume
the right of relationship to him is not
known. unless they mean to apply it IN
a figuratiVe sense. implying that he has
proved an uncle to the agricultural
world. Others again call him. Uncle
Jere," and yet again Farmer
Rusk." Rusk made himself a general
favorite when he administered to the
affairs of state from the gubernatOrial
chair of Wisconsin. There he showed
his solid good sense and the faculty Of
distributing it. The name of the
farmer governor" was household
word among the Wisconsin farmers,
who always received their dues at his
hands, as to them he owed his election.
1t was his popularity among the masses,
his excellent service during the war OF
the Rebellion and his knowledge OF
scientific agricultural affairs that led to
his appointment to the presidents cabi-
net. The Wisconsin politicians have
nothing to complain of, as both the Dem
Ocratic and Republican parties have
had substantial recognition at the hands
of the executives at Washington. The
Democrats had Hon. William T. Villas
as postmaster general under Cleve-
land, and now the Republicans
have Hon. jeremiah NJ. Rusk as MEM
Der of Harrison's cabinet. RuSk has
proved quite an attraction for the State
Fair, as whenever it was announced
that he was to be there the farmers
f1Ocked to see him. lie was the cYnOsure
of all eyes while occupying seat in
one of the amphitheater boxes, and no
one could mistake him. as his somewhat
burly form. ford face and huge white
whiskers marked him everywhere. Mr..
Rusk does not care to talk politics, in
fact he dabbles very little in them. He
would rather not say anything about
Corporal Tanner, for, although men,
Der of the cabinet, he knew very little
about the matter.
Taking it all through, the farmer
seems TO be leading OH the home stretch
this year in politics. John Miller, the
Republican nominee for governor in
North Dakota. was a fOreman-Or per-
haps manager would be a better word
of the mammoth Dwight farm in Da-
kota. John Miller was in the city a
portion of this week, but for some
reason he was a little bit cruStY about
being interviewed on the political
situation in his state, or in fact about
ANYTHING else. John w. Dwight, the
proprietor of the aforesaid farm, was
also in the city. But how the positions
of the two men have changed, and what
a whirligig this life is anyhow Here
tof0re it has been Mr.. Dwight and John
Miller. hired man; now it will in all
probability be John Miller, govern or,
and Mr.. Dwight, the farmer. But there
is no telling what will happen now
adays.
Deputy United States Marshal Jack
Campbell. son of the United States mar
shall by that name, had rather a wild
experience the other day at Kasson,
where he went to arrest two prominent
business men for writing real hOrrid''
letters to various of the female popula-
ton of the town, thereby violating the
postal law. 1t seems that the town is
divided into two separate cliqueS, each
headed by a prominent lawyer. The
two men arrested belonged to one of
these factions, and it was the other that
accused them of wrOng-doing. When
the deputy marshal arrived there and
arrested his men the whole town was
aroused; business was suspended for
the rest of the day and the widest eX-
citement prevailed. The one faction
clapped its hands and upheld the pro-
ceedings of the marshal, while the other
condemned and clamored vigorously for
the release of their friends. Hoe ham
dies. rakes and fists were shaken about
in the air promiscuOusly, and for time
the doughty agent for Uncle Sam
thought he would be torn to pieces.
He managed to land his prisoners in the
county Jail in this city, however. Yes
terday the town of KaSson was nearly
depleted of its inhabitants, as most of
them had come here TO listen to the
trial. For over two years the social
portion of KaSSOn has been torn from
stem to stern. What first started as a
political fight finally merged into full
11edged society war, and for two years
the village gossips have dined sumptu-
Ously off 1.-The COINS on"
Among other distinguished guests in
the city at the present time is a real
live English lord. Sir Julian Gold
Smid, of London, Eng, accom- panied by
Lady GoldSmid, two Misses GoldSmid
and whole army of servants, is stop
ping at the Ryan. They arrived here
yesterday, and are simply on an over
land pleasure trip. That is, the Gold
Smid family. as of course the servants
are only performing their daily labor
functions. Sir Julian is not one of the
talkatiye kind, and declines to commit
himself by making any kind of a state
ment regarding the mammoth strike in
London.
There are some awful big hOfis in this
world, and occasionally they get called
down. Several hundred of compliment
tary passes have been issued by the
State Fair management to different peo-
pie, with the understanding that they
were not transferable, and only good
for one or two persons a day, as the
case might be. Some of these passes
were issued TO men of means, who, in
the first place, could well have afforded
to have paid for season tickets. To
prevent the passes being used by more
than the regular holder day a system
of taking the numbers on the
passes was adopted, so that
every pass that went through
the gates naQ It's numO6r registered
Ne aTly hundred of the abOve-men
toned hogs the other day, anxious tC
admit their sisters and their cousins
and their aunts on their complimentary
tickets, thereby defrauding and abus
ing the confidence of the management
after having gone in themselves, wen
down to the lower end of the fence neal
the entrance and passed their pasSe:
out TO friends on the outside OF course
when the last persons came to the gate
it was discovered that the passes haC
been used before, as the numbers were
on the book. In consequence they were
cOnfiScated, the friends had to buy
tickets, and tho owners of the passes
had nothing. 1t served them right, too
