but II they should lose Indiana also,
they would be in minority of four, I'M

Ministerial Dead-Line.


Sometimes it is objected that the MIN
dster5al dead line Is soon reached; that
while the aged and experienced physi>
clan is in demand, the~aged minister is
not wanted. But there. is some confu-
sion OF thought here. The physician is
not called in just because he is an old
man, nor is the preacher left out in the
cold for that reason. 1t is not matter
of years but of qualification. But an
old minister who has got life and fire
and originality and love in him, will not
go without a parish. There is no dead
line except for dead men; and it may
come at forty or it may be at seventy.
Some men are born past the deadeline,
and nothing short of the resurrection
trumpet can bring them to life. A little
girl once walking hand in hand with her
pastor looked up into his face and said
Mr.. B. what lots of good you could do if
you would only aDake ap.' Possibly he
was letting himself drift toward the dead
line. Blessing on the little girl who
woke him up?

EVERYBODY FOR 1T.
What Prominent Citizens Said of
the Plan.

Chairman Campbell, of the Democratic
state central committee. said that he thought
that the location OF the Republican national
convention in the Northwest was tantamount
to an Endorsement of the position of Gov.
Merriam, who, with the Pioneer Press. finds
that what they gave the farmers OF Minnesota
for taffy was taken by them i'll seriousness
and that the state is lost unless some ex-
traOrdinary step is taken. 1t is an admis-
sion that the Northwest, so long solidly Re-
publican, is endangered. They hope to
check the tendency towards Democracy by
holding their convention here. If they are
right in ascribing to a convention the virtue
of stopping a movement from their party,
then the tendency towards our party would
be accelerated by holding the Democratic ma
with than against stream. Let us
accept their admission snd gain whatever of
advantage there may be for us in the
Northwest by securing our convention for ST.
Paul. If that is done, il means the transfer
of the battle from the Middle states to the
Northwest and where in the nation has our
party better fighting ground? Where has the
movement to ii been so strong? The con-
gressional delegations from Minnesota, Wis
consin and Iowa practically solidly Demo
cIatic; Democratic governors III the last two
states; 5000 majority in this state for tariff
reform By all means let US try for it, and if
we try we vii get i.
Secretary Smalley, of the Democratic state
committee, said that it is good policy al
ways TO pursue flying enemy. Coming with
their convention to a Northwest which is
honeycombed with free trade means either
one of two things; either it is a dash to
check the break in their ranks, or It means
that protection will be masked With red

HAVE WE COT IT2
Referring to New York's Legis-
Iature, 1t Seems So.

ALBANY, N. Y. Nov. 24.-Upon the
question of organization of the legisla-
ture, it is conceded here tonight that
the election of Osborne being ascer-
tanned, there will certainly be fifteen
Democratic senators, and If the state
board of canvasserS decide, in accord
ance with the attorney generals opin-
ion, that Sherwood, of the Twenty
seventh district, is ineligible. and seat
his Democratic opponent, the next
senate will stand: Democrats 16,
Republicans Is, independents Edwards),
l. Even though Edwards should vote
with the Republicans, the Democrats
would still have control, as Lieut.. Gov.
Sheehan would give the casting vote.
The seating of Sherwood would give
the Republicans Is and the Democrats
Is, with Edwards as an unknown guam
tity. In the assembly the seating of
Ryan and Beakes gave the Democrats
66 members and the Republicans 62.
The death of Assemblyman Murphy
will reduce the Democratic vote in the
assembly to 65. which will still give
them majority of 3, and secure the Or
ganization.
NEW YORK. Nov. 24.-An Albany dis
patch to the World contains the follow
ing: The senate will stand Democrats,
Is; Republicans, Is; Independent, l.
The casting vote of the lieutenant gov
ernOr will give the organization of the
senate to the Democrats. This calcula-
TiOn leaves to the senate itself the ascer-
tainment and decision in the case OF

citizen of Canada. The assembly is
expected to contain sixtY-seven Demo-

AN IDEAL CLIMATE.
St. Paul Leads Every City in the
Union for Climatic ADVANTAGES.

Union for Climatic Advantages.
All that st. Paul needs to secure the
Democratic national convention is ear
nest and concerted action on the part of
its citizens. If the agitation is taken
up in whOle-Souled way. if citizens
thoroughly enthuSe themselves, if all
minor differences are sunk into oblivion
10y long pull, strong pull and pull
altogether, there is no power OH earth
to prevent the holding of the Democratic
convention in st. Paul naxt June.
There must be no half-hearted, weak
kneed work. Crackers and croakism
must be temporarily laid upon the
shelf. st. Paul must go IN to win.
Everything points favora5ly to st.
Paul as the city for the convention. 1t
possesses all the requisites of a conven-
ton city, and there is no more important
eQuisite than that of climate CUES
tons as to hotel accommodation and
convention quarters are justly impor-
tant ones, but all in al the question of
climatic advantages and disadvantages
are of paramount Importance, and it is
one the DemOcI attic national committee
must take into consideration and weigh
carefully. On this point St. Paul has
nothing TO fear. The city can offer
climate unexcelled in the world. The
convention will be held some time in
the month Of June. At that season of
the year this section of the country en-
joys the most perfect weather, and Nat
ure is respondent in her own lowell
ness. The days are lovely. The incipi-
ent heat is cooled by refreshing breeze
from the north. There is no danger of
sunstroke; you do not broil in a negIi-
gee shirt. The Minnesota ozone i'm
parts a healthy touch and gives an in
vigOrating tone to the human frame.
Men go about their business in an ener-
getic stride; .the lethargic feeling so
prevalent at this time of the year in the
East, the South and the extreme West
is unknown. You have really what may
be termed warm spring day, with the
night just cool enough to make pair
of clean sheets luxury.
There is no humbug about the climate
of Minnesota. There is nothing erratic
about it. 1t does not blow hot and cold,
but conducts itself in Sedate manner
worthy of a Methodist elder. 1t is a
great country for the weather forecasts.
You can always depend upon the
weather. What other city on the CONT
nent can offer such alluring advantages?
The climate of Minnesota is so refresh
ing; is so eXhilarating, that its fame is
already well known throughout the
Union. And this could not be better
substantiated than by reference to
the thousands of Eastern and Southern
people who make Minnesota a health
resort and recreation ground in the
months of June, July and August.
During these months the hotel registers
are weighed down with the names of
prominent people fleeing from the In
hospitable. chimes of other states. And
so the citizens of st. Paul can justly lay
claim to be able to proffer the delegates
to the Democratic convention ideal
weather. in addition to an ideal time.
The fact that the climate of Mime
