be nearest. These two instances
may serve to illustrate some of
the difficulties that are likely to arise
under the operations of the new law, and
(which may produce confusion i'll the
count, or be ground for contest in close
elections. They are difficulties that
arise wholly from the failure of the law
makers to give proper consideration to
the details of the law, and yet they are
not of so serious nature as not to be
overcome by judicious forethought on
the part of the election officers.
The suggestion we have to make is
that the election officers hold caucus
or conference in advance of the
election, and agree upon uni
form system to be adopted at all
the polling precincts in relation
to the obscure passages Of the new law.
This will prevent any conflict of in
depreciation, and may obviate a great
deal of useless litigation after the cleo
ton. If all the judges will agree upon
one course of procedure in such cases as
we have mentioned, and in others that
ale liable to occur, they will find that
the new election methods will be greatly
facilitated, and that the experiment
with the Australian system will in
every way be much more satisfactory.

Secret Of .Can you explain
the secret of Bob
Mayor Smiths Smiths popularity i'll

Popularity. asked prominent
young politician of ah
old resident, the other day. "fhat'S the
easiest thing in the world" replied the
old gentleman. bob Smith is a square
.man, and you will find. my young friend,
that the square man always commands
public confidence. OF the 2O0 900 people
in this city the isn't one who will ac-
cuse Mayor Smith Of ever doing an in
territorial wrong or injustice to human
being. Take a man like that and put
him any part OF the world and he will
be a popular man. All men are liable
to make mistakes, but the man who COM
mits an error with honest Intentions
never forfeits public confidence. It
is lthe selfish, designing man who
becomes the public suspect. The
man who is universally right, but whose
right action is known to be shaped by
selfish motives. will never enjoy public
warm-hearted man, whose sympathies
are easily aroused and whose generosity
is unbounded. He has warm side for
all phases of humanity, and when you
run across man of that character you
will find person whose friends are as
numerous as they are ardent in their
friendly devotion. They become leaders
in public affairs, not because they want
to. but because they can't resist the
pressure of the popular tide. Bob
Smith is an Abe Lincoln sort of man
plain and matter of fact, modest, hon.

WORLDS FAIR DEVICES.

All sorts of marvellous devices are be-
ing suggested in connection with the
Chicago fair, which are Of interest
chiefly as showing that the imagination
and inventive spirit of the country are
being remarkably quickened, and that
the coming exhibition will be far in ad-
vance of anything the world has seen in
mechanical contrivanceS. There is
very general suggestion of structure
that shall eclipse the Eiffel tower in ell
ovation and novelties. Anything in
that direction will be more or less sug-
gestive of the Paris structure, but that
is not an objection as long as it is not an
imitation. Electricity will be one Of
the most conspicuous features in the eX-
hibition, very marked advances i'll its
utilization having been made even since
the Paris show. and EDIsoN's exhibit
was one of the great attractions there.
1t is intimated that some wonderful de-
velopment in air navigation is to aston
ish the world. Almost anything is posi-

him.
He has just devoted $40, 900 to the pur-

in trade.
While in Concord he was president
OF the First National bank, and connect

In 1878 he removed to Minnesota,
where he already had large investments,
being the brother of Gov. John G. Pills

flour millers. Mr. Pillsbury. although
comparatively new conner, has been

AN INToLEKANT SPIRIT.

The house OF representatives recently
passed bill to abolish the canteen sys-
tenn in connection with tho regular
army. This was i'll compliance with
the entreaties of some very devoted and
honest ladies from the Woman's Tenn
perance association, who would compel
all men by statute to climb up to their
ethical altitude. Most readers are fa-
mllIar with the system being introduced
at the army posts known under the mis-
leading term of canteen. 1t comprises
some of the features of the Y. M. G.. A.,
with social rather than religious attrac-
tions. About half of the Ito military
posts have tried it with very beneficial
results. Evidence of this fact was fur
nished the congressional committee.
The canteen at Fort Meade, in South
Dakota, was reported by the command
ant to have been complete success.
1t comprised school room and library,
us we'll as lunch room, billiard room and
kitchen. Some of them have theater
and other varieties Of amusement
and recreation. They furnish a good
beer and light wines, and the official re-
ports show that drunkenness has been
reduced one-third. The men save more
of their money, and have more enjoy
ments than in the old way, without the
Fleeing so common in connection with
the sutier business. The soldiers have
pleasant resort of their own, and care
less to 60 to the towns and paint things.

How John

How John After the young Re
publican politician had
Roche Got His departed took the old
citizen into my conf
Cinch. dence. and asked him to
explain the secret of
John Roche's popularity.
''Well, that's different matter" said
the old man. You see, L have been
living here for forty years. John Roche
and Bob Smith have grown right up by
the side of me, and [ ought to know
them both pretty well. John Roche
lacks Bob Smiths sociable turn, and
perhaps has fewer personal acquaint-
ances than any public man in this city.
Put John Roche up as a candidate for
mayor and possibly he wouldn't come
within sight of an election. and yet he
has cinch on the Office OF comptroller
than no man can relax. Pll tell you
why. He is the apotheosis of honesty
to begin with, and then he has an ex-
perience i'll municipal financiering that
to the city. Look what credit
he has established for st. Paul. away
ahead of any city in the world. You
may 90 on the New York stock exchange
to-day and you will find that when it
comes to a matter of municipal finance
John Roche's bare word Is worth more
than Jay Gould's bond. Now, there is
record that is invulnerable. Yes,
know they say that John is a bull
headed old fellow. but want you to re-
member that this same bull-headedness
of his has saved many a dollar to the
city treasury. The taxpayers know how
to appreciate the worth of a man like
that, and they are not going to be guilty
of the folly of swapping horses when
crossing a stream. Republican, as am,
you can set me down as supporter o
Smith, Roche and Refs. and since the
Democrats have done such clean job
in nominating the best aldermanic
ticket that was ever presented to the st.
Paul voters. am not sure bat it is my
duty to encourage them in their praise
worthy efforts by voting the whole
ticket. Its good enough ticket for any
man who wants decent municipal gov
ernment." And then the old gentleman
ambled off, with the cOntented air of a
man who IS OH the road to heaven.

EASTER EGGS.


April showers and budding flowers is the
OF our Lord 1890.
The man who borrows but never repays is
the only sad person when the season of Lent
terminates.
The motto of modern christianity: son
with the dance-after the Easter church
service is over
Breakfast--The first square meal after
Lent.
A combination that the slate makers can't
break-Easter eggs and spring bonnets.
Where did the name of Easter originate?
You must know that the name began in En-
gland. Our Anglo-Saxon forefathers had
many gods and goddssses before the religion
of Jesus reached their island. And one of
those they liked best was the Goddess of
Spring, whom they called Eostre, or Eastre,
and they used to worship her when the flow
ers began to bloom, with music and process
sions and great joy. When the Christian
preachers came they found that the festival
of Spring was about the same time of their
festival Of the Resurrection, so they took the
old name and put the new meaning into it,
and thus ii is called Easter Day, or Easter
Sunday.
How did eggs come to play part in the
Easter celebration? Well, next to watermel-
ons eggs are the best food to break fast
with. They are easily digested and rest
lightly upon weak stomach. Easter hap
pens to come at a season when watermelons
are not in market so there got to be great
demand for eggs at the Easter breakfast.
And, then, too. the egg is typical of resur-
rection. The apparently dead matter in the
shell can be incubated into a living being-a
fact that symbolizes the foundation stone of
Christianity.
