SUNRISE SIGNALS.

Both France and Switzerland object to ex-
hibiting goods at a worlds fair held in
country where they are prohibited from sell
ing anything. They say: whats the use:''
Thus the baleful shadow of McKinleyism
hovers above every American enterprise of
importance. The voters of this country will
stand this sort of thing until along about the
cool days of nexeNovember. Then they will
kick, and the kick will land the Republi can
party in the consomme.

William Pitt Murray, in generously Offering
up the state OF Minnesota to the Republican
harpies is little too previous. Leading
Democratic journals in the East are putting
this state in the doubtful column, and Mr.
Murray surely cannot overlook the Ames-
McGill campaign and last falls election,
when the Democrats carried three -tifths of
all the congressman, and nearly defeated
Gov. Merriam. Minnesota is debatable
ground. and its concession to Republicanism
at the present juncture is too great tribute
TO Republican gall and political avarice.
The attention of Mr.. Murray is called to the
words of Gov. Merriam in a recent Chicago
interview:
Il repeat that unless some big move be
made Minnesota will be lost to the Repub-
licans, calamity we can i'll afford to bear
now that Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska are
lost"
A morning paper attempts to grill Col
Cockerell on the gridiron of photographic
flapdoodle. Col. Cockerell. by the way, is the
manager of the New York Advertiser, the
newest brightest and ablest of all the New
York papers at the present writing. At one
time he represented the brains of the New
York World. He made that paper what it
was. To his efforts it owes its grand success
in the past. When he retired from its man
agement the World was badly left. and it has
| remained left ever since. No infusion Of
young business blood can rejuvenate the
New York World. Only such a genuine,
practical journalist as Col. Cockeren could
have advanced the World to the proud po-
sition which it once occupied; only himself,
or one similarly endowed, can restore it. The
editorial paragraphist who attempts TO criti-
else Col. Cockerell is not en- rapport with the
intelligent thought of this country.
