Mr.. w. j. ARKELL. one or The pro-
prietors of Frank LeSI9e'S Illustrated
Newspaper, has been interviewed re-
garding the editorials declaring that
Blaine will not be candidate for
President, and he says that he alone
is responsible as Russell Harrison
knew nothing about them until pub
Iished, and then telegraphed from the
Pacific coast his protest, as one OF the
partners in the paper. 1t is simple
Justice to Mr. Harrison that the Dem
cratic charges that he is using his pa
per TO injure the Secretary of State,
should be SO manfully denied.-Chica-
cago E1ter-Ocedn.
1t is not alone the Democratic pa
pers that have been taking young
Harrison TO task for the bigoted ed
itorials which have appeared in his
newspaper. He has been scored by
Republican papers as well. Russell
had better instruct Mr. Arkell that
discreet silence anent Mr.. Blaine and
the Presidency would seem the better
part Of valor inasmuch as he is the
son of his father. and Mr.. Blaine the
Secretary Of his fathers Cabinet.
Russell should have astanding protest
againt editorials booming his illus
triOus father as a successor TO himself
and RELOCATING other prominent lead
ers to the rear. 1t would appear in
decidedly better taste than to protest
when protests availeth naught.

II is safe TO assume that the Farm
er,s Alliance will not nominate Grover
Cleveland. and will refuse to endorse
him if he is the nominee Of the Demo
cratic party. His views on the silver
question do not strike popular cord
with the Alliance people, while his
Democracy is something that the ma
jority Of the new party cannot goin any
event. 1t now seems every way prob
able that the Alliance will put pres
idential ticket in the field. If they
do several Of the Southern states,
heretofore impregnable, viii be lost
to the Democrats, and the result Of
the national contest viii be a matter
Of great doubt.

IT would indeed be a proud thing
for Minneapolis if she could get the
coming Republican National Conven-
ton. And why not the convention
be held in Minnesota The ground
is neutral, and every aspirant for
presidential honors would stand upon
equal footing. Hotel accommoda-
lions are ample for all who attend,
while the exposition building could
be easily transformed into magnifi-
cent auditorium building with ca
pacity for seating twelve TO fifteen
thousand people. Beside the numer-
Gus hotels and boarding houses in
Minneapolis, St. Paul is only p min
utes ride distant: then the large lake
hotels could be brought into use and
all told fully fifty thousand strangers
could be accommodated without in
convenience. Aside from Chicago,
Minneapolis is the most natural place
in the country for the convention, and
as it is given out that Chicago will
not be considered, there is no good
reason to suppose that Minneapolis
cannet successfully bid for the gath
ering. A united and concerted action
on the part Of the whole state would
be valuable at this time.

JOHN W. ROCHE, the well known
comptroller Of the city Of St. Paul,
dropped dead in a street car, last
night, while on the way from his home
TO the depot to meet his wife who had
been visiting her son in Pennington.
Mr.. Roche was man highly respected
by all who knew him, and his sudden
death has cast a gloom over st. Paul
Mr.. Roche was born in Ireland inI83I
and when but three months old was
brought TO New York by his parents.
He came 10 ST. Paul in 1856 and had
been Comptroller Of the city since
1864.

If Senator Seyatson hasn't gone
over, completely, to the Democratic
party he should sue the st. Paul
Globe for libel The Globe quotes
him as fayOring Daniel Buck, of Man
kato. for congress. Buck never did
anything but vote the democratic
ticket and curse the Republicans be-
cause the country is prosper Heron
Lake NeqDS.
There is no appropriate place for an
''if'' in the above. SeyatsOn has gone
over TO the democracy all right; or in
any event he has deserted the ranks of
the Republican party. The NelUS does
Hon. Daniel Buck an injustice. While
Mr.. Buck is a Democrat, he is an hon
est gentleman, possessing as good
rights to his political views as the
editor Of the Nefos or anyone else. He
is too honorable a gentleman for any
man or newspaper TO denounce in the
uncalled for manner noted above, and
the NelrS knows it. The idea that he
would curse the Republicans because
the country is prosperous" Down on
such trash.

as it frequently occurs that it cannot
run things to its liking, its frisky

Iowa Republicans propose TO get to
the front this year and redeem the
State from Democratic gubernatorial
control. The State Convention has
been called to meet in Cedar Rapids,

have very unnecessarily permitted the
Democrats to get a strong foothold,
and if they viii be guided by little
common sense in the selection of
candidate for Governor there is no
reason why they should not redeem
themselves.

THE TRIBULATIONS OF SENATOR
McHALE.
New York Press. )

The people of Minnesota are winn-
ing notoriety for appreciation of the
ludicreHs by reason of practical jokes
they have been playing on State Sena-
tOr. McHale, the prudent author Of
the famous Anti-Tights bid which
was introduced by him at the last ses-
sion Of the legislature, but failed to
pass one of its houses. The Senator
cannot leave his horse at a hitching
post for five minutes without return
ing to find the animals legs swathed
in rags or straw to hide them from the
gaze Of the world. He bought a new
table the other day, and was asked by
the salesman if the legs were TO be
wrapped up permanently. In a rest
aurant, where he ordered chicken. he
was served with the legs carefully
done up in napkin. The fayorite
chair in which he sits on the veranda
Of his house was found the other NOR
ming with its legs carefully covered by
burlap. His pet dog came home last
week with its legs incased in four
limbed cotton pantaloOns Of marvel

rooster, which Surmounts the weather
vane on his barn. had its legs bandag-

Meanwhile the Senator has been
made the unhappy recipientof numer-
Gus suggestive presents from unknown
donors. Canes and Umbrellas, with
fac-similes and shapelY neither limbs
for handles: watch charms of similar
designs, paper weights fashioned after
the same part of the human anatomy,
and photographs, chromos and litho-
graphs Of stage beauties have literally
rained down on his desk. until the
Senator, according to a Teracious
chronicler of Northwestern events, be-
gins to wish that the human race and
the animal creation had some other
means of locomotion than legs, and
that legs had never existed. As for
his own legs, Senator McIIale is pre-
sumably using those to kick himself.
