SENATOR DAVIS

1t is not the question of patronage
which will defeat CUsHMAN X. DAVIS
two years hence if he stands again for
the United States senate. If there is a
Republican majority IN the legislature
then, no vulgar spoils issue could rob
him of the succession. Minnesota could
not afford to lose the services of her
most brilliant son for so unworthy a
reason. If he had been found wanting
in no other particular than in zeal as
distributor of petty offices. there is not
Republican in the state who would dare
enter the lists against him, because
there is not Republican in the state to
be named with him in honesty of life,
in skill as an advocate, or in protundity
of learning.
But there is movement on foot to
defeat him, and he himself has given
it what strength it has. He has
blackened his public record by lift
ing his voice and casting his vote
in support of the two iniquitous
measures which have brought shame
and confusion to his party. He voted
for the force bill and the renewal OF
sectional hatred. He voted for the Nc
KINLEY tariff bill, which was avowedly
designed to enrich the Eastern manu-
facturer at the expense of the Mime
sofa farmer. twill take many personal
virtues to neutraliZe the odium of such
a record. His ambitious and crafty
rivals understand this, and they are
grateful to him for the help he has
given them.

GETTING Tile WATER

The prOtracted absence of satisfying
rainfall makes it more apparent that ir-
riSation is all insurance against disaster
from drought that should be had in the
sections where the conditions are favor
able. Frequent reference has been had
to the progress being made in South Da-
kOta to provide means of irrigation by
artesian wells. The Dakota Farmer at
Huron, has JUST issued a special edition
of the publication, devoted entirely to
tile subject of irrigation in that state.
The picture it draws of the increased
production of the great cereals when
ample provision is made 10. supply
the needed moisture at the proper
times is not, probably, exaggcrat-
ed. 1t Is, 10 doubt, within bounds
also in finding in South Dakota
the greatest artesian basin in the
world" A complete review is had of
the artesian well developments in the
state, lacking only the statistics of the
greatest of them all in the new we'll at
Huron, which has not been in operation
long enough for full data. 1t is credited
with the enormous flow of 5000 gallons
per minute, under pressure of 200
pounds to the square inch. a fewyea

there was the utmost confidence that a
great coal find would be had, but abund.

CoRTE ON HIS WAY.
Before Leaving for Home the Con-
sui Talks Some More.

SUI IalkS Some More.
WASHINGTON, May IS. - Pasqualo
Corte, the Italian. consul in New Or
leans, and Gashari Grimaldo, of Mar
chest, the boy who was accused
of having given the signal to the as
sasslns of Chief Hennessy that the chief
was approaching, arrivedin Washington
from New Orleans last night and left
this afternoon for New York, whence
they will sail in few days for Rome to
make a personal explanation of the
New Orleans affair to Marquis di Rudini.
Sigr. Corte told a reporter to-day that
the reports that lie had been recalled
by his government for making indis-
Greet utterances was untrue. The very
fact that the marquis has summoned me
to Rome to confer with me on the situa-
ton, is proof" he said. 'Of the conf
dence repoSed in me by my government.
They desire me to talk over matters
more freely and more i'll detail than can
be done through the medium
of letters. The consul says there
is no reason why the New Or
leans troubles should make any
breach between the United States and
Italy. He would held Mayor Shake
speare responsible, he SAID, for all that
had been done. His only comment on
Mayor ShakeSpeare'S letter demaning
his recall was that he had been unfairly
treated on all sides. The boy Grimaldi
denied he had given the signal warning
the asSaSSinS of HenneSsy'S approach.

LOCAL FOOTLIGHTS.

The initial production of "The Chimes Of
Normandy was given at the Park theater
last evening to fair house. In it the Park
company was seen to far better advantage
than in any of the previous productions and
the most musical of all light operas
was received enthusiast ically. Mr..
Jones, formerly of the Wilbur Opera
company appeared in his favorite role of
Gaspard. His conception of the part is thor
oughly artistic. The character requires
dramatic ability of high order, and that
ability Mr.. Jones undoubtedly possesses In
the finale of the second act his
acting held the audience spell
bound. His portrayal of the miser's
fear when the ringing of the chateau bells
proclaimed that discovery was imminent,
can be fifty described as master
piece of facial expression. Mr. Jones
curtain call at the close of the act
Mr.. Huntington as Henri de Corneville was
very successful He looked the character he
represented and sang it with all the dramatic
force it demands. Mr.. Huntington has
powerful voice and withal a musical one.
The part suits HIM well. Julette Marco as
Germaine was seen to much better advantage
than either in 'Mascotte" or Bohemian
Girl" Her voice has improved greatly in the
matter of volume since she appeared as
Bettina, and her singing and acting were
both good last night
Hamilton Tetley, as Jean Frenicheux, was
at disadvantage from the fact that his voice
is in bad condition. However, he did ex-
tremely well under the circumstances. Harry
Reeves, as the Bailli, was quietly amusing,
and VIII Weston. as the notary, was occa-
sionaily uproariously funny without know
ing it. The work of the chorus was good.
and it must be said that except for a few
imperfections incidental to first night per-
formance, the production was musica. and
dramatic success.
