Charles X. Chute. He produced a

On Friday who do the people of Min
neapolis have to look up to as the au-
stere. the ~pretentiOus. the lOrdly and
| supreme being OF all the illustriOus men
who trod her asphalt walks from the
| three Americas
was it Vincente G. Quesada, LID, at
the head of the Argentien Republic
delegation: or the memorable Senior
Jose AlphOnsO. of Chill; or the famous
| Spaniard. Senior MatiaS Romero, of
Mexico? No, he is not among their num-
Der. Majestic as may be their bearing,
they are modest men by the side of the
real hero. Perchance it was Mayor
Babb in his eloquent, though somewhat
ambiguous squirt of OratOry. No it
was not he. The mayor was only
the same ''old dignified mayor,
and his Ora!Ory was the same old
Babb-be of welcome. 1t was not the
| mavOr. Who then was Minneapolis
great man on Friday? 1t was no other
than our own little Willie Z. Steele,
who has grown up and become a cap
italist-by becoming twenty-One years
old-rlght here in our midst. The pOmp
| and glory Of the Three Americas. with
all the broad eXpanse of shirtfronts and
| noble mustaches. was but a fading mist,
painted a weak and sickly pea-green
shade, by the side Of his 100-candle-

executive committee.
And who Oh Saturday was the man
OF the town.
No one dared try to break the record.

Mai. Willie E. Steele was consider
ably Illustrated yesterday over the com
mentS of the newspapers concerning his
management of the Pan-American en-
tertainment and his discourtesy to re-
pOrterS. lie ~prOfeSSed to be aStOniShed
at the harsh criticism he received, but
he need not have been surprised. Fri
day was his day, and he snubbed
the reporters to his hearts'S con-
tent. Saturday was reporters day. and
they got back at him. Willie will notice
as he natures that the reporter al
ways has the last turn. Mr.. Steele did
not commit any serious OtfenSe. Scrub
| bling reporters is not a crime. its a
privilege-if any n chooses to eX-
| ercise it, and will abide by the cOnse-
queaces. So is tickling a mules hind
| legs with a straw.
r.
Mr.. Steele is quite young and one of
the first things he should learn is that
a man who has aspirations that will
take him into public life, must treat
the humble reporter with a respect
| that is due to the representative
of a newspaper. Never mind who
the reporter iS-its the paper, not the
reporter. Did you ever notice that the
men of Minneapolis who amount
to something who have wealth,
position or standing seldom indulge in
the costly pastIme of snubbing or in
sulting reporters. The SIS a week clerk
will snub the reporter, but the big mil
lionaire, capitalist Or policeman will
take him into his private Office, give
him a cigar and be a brother to him.
j.
IT NAV surprise you, Willie, to learn
that Col. W. S. King has been known to
give up his seat in a crowded court
room to a reporter; that w. d. Wash
burn has been known to take a reporter
into his elegant library on a wet night,
compelled him to take off his wet shoes
and put on a senator's slippers, and sit
before the fire while he hustled around
and looked up some information
the reporter happened to want;
that Charles A. Pillsbury has stopped
to talk to reporters when he was up to
his eyes in work; that Thomas Lowry
has been known to leave a room full of
guests, and stand out on a porch for
ten minutes on a chilly night so the re-
porter who was waiting for a street car
might not feel lonely. Col. John T.
West never snubs reporters, nor does
c. NJ. LOring. nor does DR.. Ames, who
has often cause enough; nor III fact,
does any man who has a long head on
him.
Stumbling reporters is not "smart.'
Willie, so don't do it again-eSpecially
if you want to be mayor some day.
Il
judge Rand. of Minneapolis. who
stunned Montana for the Democratic
ticket, had rather an amusing expert
cnce at Helena. On the train with him
was ex-senator HOar, of Michigan. but
the two had no conversation. When
Rand arrived in Helena the first thing
lie saw was a copy of the Helena Jour.

biackest of type. 1t then went on to
describe him as a free trader, and a bad
man generally, charging him with hav-
iEg committed all of the crimes in the
decalogGe except the seventh. This
was followed by a pretended converse
ton on the train between Rand and
Horn. i'm which the former was repre-
scented as having advocated ultra free
trade doctrines, in which it seems Mon.

Rand held his peace, and that even.
ing was introduced to the editor of the
Journal at the Mantana club The ed.

"Are you Judge Rand, of st. Paul.
"Oh. no. said Rand, 81 live in Min.

The editor, who, it seems. is a newly
imported specimen from the far East
duly a%pOlogized, not suspecting that the
Mr.. Rand was the person to whom he
had referred in his paper; a bottle Of
wine was opened, and everything wa
harmonious.

During the conversation that followed
the editor related with great glee how
he had roasted Judge Rand, of st. Paul
who was announced TO speak at the
opera house next evening, and acknowl
edged that the whole thing was {

didate for governor, was in the party
and to keep up the joke suggested to the
editor that he give Rand another dose
