WALKS AND TALKS.

Senator G. K. Davis was found last
evening sitting in the center of group
of lawyers In his arboreal garden. A
blue cloud of fragrant smoke hung over
their heads, and gradually increased as
the Manuel Garcias diminished. A re-
porter passed through the gate which
stood iDvitingly open, and was cordially
received by the statesman.
''What is new, SenatOr"" asked the
reporter.
Nothing; nothing at ALL" replied
the senator. II am busy with these
gentlemen discussing the details of
law suit"
''Have you and Washburn come to
any understanding on the question Of
appointments"
~ have absolutely nothing to COM
municate ON that subject" said the
senator, with smile.
''Then you can not tell me anything
about the prospects for the United
States district attorneyship?"
Nothing at all. l have nothing to
communicate"
"Well, what about national politics
in general"'
''rhere is nothing new, absolutely
nothing"
Hon. A. S. CrOssfield, Hon. William
Bickel and r. E. Thompson, of Pres
ton, ran up against each other in the
lobby of the Merchants last evening.
They at once began asking what OF the
effect of the dressed meat bill in their
respective localities. Mr.. Crossfeld
said it was dead letter and that the
butchers we're using the same inspec-
ton papers for half dozen different
steers. They agreed that the bill was
never intended to be a sanitary or pre-
cautiOnary measure, and was simply a
blow at one monopoly in order to foster
another. Mr.. Bickel would not admit
this and defended the bill.
Joel p. HeatwOle sat in the lobby of
the Ryan yesterday evening, while
COedy Severance was holding down his
(Heatwole's) Oed in parlOr E. He hand
ed round some very nice cigars, remark
ing: 'These were made at Mortified,
and consider them pretty good" He
was asked what was new in politics and
replied: est. Paul and Minneapolis
are hogs politically and l don't
care who knows 1 say so. They
country elected e. K. Davis, and / hope
he will remember it. Further than this
have nothing to say. Let US talk
about the weather or the crops. That
rain last night was worth millions to us.
You know we have one of the greatest
dairy districts in the country around
Mortified, and this rain just came in
time"
T. w. Howard, of st. LOUIS. is stay
ing at the Ryan. Mr.. Howard is one of
the wealthiest and most prominent citi-
Gems in the south. He owns and con-
trolls street railways. gas companies. no
companies, and all sorts of gigantic
TeXarkana and many other places.
What great scheme he is meditating by
this visit to st. Paul has not yet trans
pired. but it will be something stu
pendOuS.
Hon. E. G. Swanstrom, of Duluth,
who is staying at the Merchants, is one
OF those enterprising Scandinayians
who have risen to great prominence in
Minnesota. Mr.. Swanstrom represented
Duluth in the senate prior to the time
when Democracy raised its head in the
shape of A. j. Whiteman. lie is Re-
publican, and was last fall chairman of
the Republican county committee in st.
Louis county. He made a good chair
man, too, but has made himself no
friends by his hostility to Col. c. II.
Graves. But Mr.. Swanstrom has held
the west end of Duluth in his pants
pocket, politically. for many years, and
is power in st. Louis county politics
