In PENNSYLVANIA S lower house a resolution
was Introduced eensuring Senator Cameron
for his action on the elections bill. II was
promptly sat upon. A motion to postpone it
indefinitely was carried by vote of 12S to %.
So endeth the first lesson. The GLOBE pre-.
dicted that even Pennsylvania's legislature,
outside of small crowd of political cranks.
would sustain Senator Cameron. A thing
with no more friends than the force bill
should go forth and bury itself. in the sands
of the sobbing sea.

say that we pay high tribute to the genius
of modern politics The foregoing is sug

in the lower house. Indeed, it might be
termed double, duplex, combination. self
cooking episode in which Oromio John Ar

Cole, of Otter Tail, appeared in the roaring
farce extravaganza, Gagging the Press Or
the Reporters Last Bounce 1t appears
that something has been said by the ST. Paul
Dispatch unsatisfactory to Mr. Reyes. Ergo,
he will open the gate and fire its reporter out
into the wailing and gnashing of teeth up
and down Wabasha street. OF course this
would be a precedent for the successive
bouncing of all other reporters seriatim.

one paper? Logically, such privilege
would exclude representatives of Democratic
papers from Republican assemblies, and
vice versa. The United States senate avoids
the embarrassment of discrimination by
jumping into executive session and coming

satirized every member of the present adj
ministration from Ben Harrison up to
Secretary Blaine, and swept through the two
houses like an illustrated cyclone. Each
member of the Minnesota legislature has his

President Harrison is solicitous that his

should be stamped upon our coin: Ben Har-

White house hobby horse couchant.
