BOULANGER is not NAPOLEON
BoNAPARTE. He is beginning to sus-
pect as much himself.
THERE was nothing in the weather
conditions yesterday to mar the deyo-
tions of outdoor WorshiperS.
THE senate committee in Alaska will
perhaps have an interesting report of
their Investigations of native dance
halls and aboriginal economy.
YOUNG AMERICA will have to hustle
around early this morning to see the
grandest street parade seen since the
last biggest show on earth was here.
PITTsBURG coal is quoted at Chicago
at $3.50 a ton, and is said to cost S2.9S to
get it there. The puzzle is as to where
the profit comes in, unless there is a
popularity in the Chicago tons.
If SOME of the investors in the stock
of trusts do not come to grief, the laws
of political economy will develop re-
markable kinks. Property will not all
double in value by being put in a trust.
SOME papers are seriously insisting
that SULLIVAN ought not to be electe
mayor of Boston. 1t is possible that he
may not return from Mississippi in time
to make the question a practical one for
year or two.
IT IS said that 100000 have been
raised for the daring Norwegian eX-
plorer who proposes to find the north
pole next year or perish in the attempt.
He will take somewhat of a new route,
with some advantages others have not
had.
SUFFICIENT for this reign are the
grandchildren thereof" was the neat
epigram of Radical opponent in par
lament of the grant for the royal pos
teritY. 1t might find an ill-natured APP
plication in the royal family of this
country.
THERE is possible eXaggeration in the
report that in some of the pockets of
mems clothing sent out by the WANA-
MAKER store postot1ice commissions
are found. The advertising depart
ment of the store may encourage that
impression.
IT Is intimated that the report of the
investigation in the contest for gov
ernor in West Virginia will indicate
that the Republicans coloniZed some
1900 to 5000 Virginia negroes in the
border counties, so that they could vote
In both states. Possibly there may be
minority report also.
WHEN delegation of Illinois miners
visited Gen. HARRISON last year he
made congratulatory note of their
banner, "Protection and Beefsteaks.' y
Provisions are now being sent them to
avert starvation. They don't seem to
want the HARRISON sort of protection
as much as they did.
For some reason interviews have been
had with a great number of the physi-
plans and druggists of Boston as to the
use of ice water. The doctors were as
SO to in favor of its use, and the drug
gistS unanimous for it. Were they not
above considerations of interest, il
might be suspected that they aimed tC
promote the demand for their remedial
agencies.
IN VIEW of the proposed irrigation by
artesian water, the Fargo agricultural
paper recalls the fact that in the early
part Of this decade the great effort in
the Red river valley was to get rid Of
the excess of water. Only three years
ago drainage convention was held al
Crookston, and resolved and received
the reports of scientists and engineers
The water at once disappeared. 1t is
proposed now to hold a convention and
rescind the resolutions, and try to in
duce the waters to return.
SOME of the protection organs have
the facetiOuS explanation of the invest.
