Texas statesman. Having accomplished
their principal purpose by placing them
selves in the lead of the party they natu-
rally enough wanted harmonyin the ranks,
for quarrel would put in jeopardy the
success of the party next year which is OF
course essential to their success. Hence
they opposed the degradation of Mills to
second place on the ways and means COM
mittee. Crisp. however, appears to be of a
different mind. Having got Mills down
ne intends apparently to keep him down,
and TO certain Democrats who warned him
that he was making big mistake he ex-
pressed surprise that the men who elected
him and defeated Mills should now be so
anxi1us TO conciiiate the Texan. The truth
probably is that Crisp is paying eff an old
grudge. In the last House Mills's friends
rarely lost an opportunity to snub Crisp
and push him into the background, and
now having got the upper hand he is in
clined to retaliate with interest.
1t is quite apparent that his performances
are filling the Democrats with dismsy, butup
to the present time they have found no way
to turn him from his course. They fear
that the Furnishing process is not to stop
with Mills, but is to be pursued toward all
the men whom the Speaker dislikes. and
that when the committees are announced
there will be more grief among the breth.

CRISP AND THE DEMOCRATS.

Speaker Crisp seems to be developing
disposition TO reject advice and do as he
pleases, which is very disquieting to the
GOrman-Hill crowd, who are responsible
largely for his elevation to the Speaker
ship. Though it was at first suspected
that the snubbing of Mills was done at the
instigation Of German and Hill to humili-
ate ClevelaHd, it turns out that it was
simply Crisp's own WORK, and that 1t
was done in spite of the advice of
the faction that supported him for
the Speakership. The truth is that Crisp's
supporters were inclined TO be con-
tent with the castigation they gave Mills
and Cleveland by defeating the former for
the Speakership, and were disposed to
adopt conciliatory attitude toward the

1t would be interesting to know just how
much foundation there is for these stories
of naval preparations for descent on
Chill, which are telegraphed over the
country daily. There Is nothing from
official sources to confirm these tales. On
the other hand Secretary Tracy in answer
to query as to what war vessels were in
GILLIAN waters replied that the little York
town was at Valparaiso, the Boston would
soon be there and the Baltimore was on
her way up to San Francisco. There Is
certainly nothing very startling in these
preparations, and it Is hardly legitimate
inference from them that the President is in
favor of war as one paper reports him, or
that the navy department is massing YES
sells and troops along the Gillian coast. It
may be that the Secretary Is not telling all
that he knows, but it is much more proba-
BILE that the correspondents are telling
more than they know or have any good
reason to believe.

ST. Paul Lots and Lands I'm High

The spring days have brought many
good things, not the least among which
may be mentioned bright countenances
among real estate men. The livening
up and brushing up continues all along
the line. The volume of trade is
not heavy, yet the movement is
growing and healthy. One of the
most encouraging signs is the number
OF cash purchases of lots for building
purposes, and outright purchases of
houses and lots for homes. 1t indicates
returning prosperity, and an influx of a
new and desirable population. At the
clifton hotel last week there were three
families at one time from as many diff
ferent points, who had come to St. Paul
TO stay. awaiting an opportunity to rent
or buy desirable heme.
On general principles real estate is
the very best class of investment money
can make. 1t can never burn, it never
fails. 1t Is always there. Real estate
represents an actual value. The man
OF wealth always invests in property.
He provides against disaster with a snug
sum in Uncle Sans bonds and choice
pieces of real estate.

VIII be at South st. Paul.
The city will now soon have
a fine system of water works,
and the bridge across the
river at Spring Park will
bring in several new rail
roads. Then there will be
new manufactures on the
five miles of trackage built
for that purpose on the fiat
below the stockyards. The
business at South st. Paul
has increased more than
any other business in Min
nesota within the last three
years, and it will undoubt-
edly be the great mantfac-
turing part of st. Paul for
large concerns. Hence with
the returning tide of pros
perity, of which we see signs
on every side, there will I'M
doubtedly be a great de-
mand here for homes for
workingmen. So, if you
want a home with a fine
view, pure air, good trans
portation for 5 cents, and an
attractive and cheap place
to live, buy one of our lots
in Union Addition. They
are within two to five min
utes of the station, and we
want to sell a few of them
for less than halfprice to
people who will build. Just
think of a lot worth $500 to
$500 for $3.50 or $500.

When one considers the hasty and in
considerate manner in which so many
enter upon the marriage relation, it is
not astonishing that the calendars of
the divorce courts are disgracefully
burdened. The writer has always
steadily refused to marry persons of
immature years without special permis-
sion and request of their parents. But
he has frequently questioned whether
immaturity of Judgment should not also
be bar 10 the ceremony, for the vacil-
lating and irresolute are not always
young. A couple, middle-agcd, plain,
but apparently well to do, came to a
minister recently and after fifteen min
utes talk on the weather, the gentle
man expressed desire to see him alone.
Upon being shown to an adjoining
apartment, he said: I'VE came to be
