only to satisfy morbid curiosity. A
balloon, trapeze performance, gate

these are becoming too frequent.
Lately many such so called accidents
have happened here and abroad to
aerial gymnasts.

George Hogan, at Detroit, Saturday,

We do not mention these horrible

point the moral. The danger Of these

that the exhibitions amount to cater

public sentiment and legislation.

The Names New Engine.

The policy for testing the engines
for our warships Oh land before put
ting them into place has thoroughly
commended itself by its success in the
case of armored cruiser Maine. When
this machine is placed in the vessel il
can be trusted to work smoothly, and
the usefulness of the cruiser will not
be unnecessarily delayed. 1t is graft
flying to know that these engines, the
best that modern methods can pro-
duce, are entirely of American manu-
facture, and that the Maine will car
ry armor platess made at nome. The
Republican policy of building our new
navy of American materials, produced
by the labor of American working
men. is as sound industrially as it is
patriotic in spirit.

Russia's New Privilege.

The permission accorded TO the Car
for the admission of certain classes of
Russian ships of war into the Darda-
nelles shows the extent Of Russian in
duence over the Porte. England will
not be pleased with this concession to
her rival, and a good deal of British
noise and buster may result from it.
That it will help the Russian ambi-
ton to get Constantinople is doubt
full. But it will be sure to create a
diplomatic stir in Europe, and it will
make Lord Salisbury watch the Turk
ish government very closely in the fu-
ture.

THE Courier charges Major McKin-
ley with saying that mortgages are
blessings. What the Major probably
did say was that they represent pros
perity rather than the opposite-and
he was right. Most of the mortgages
stand for improvements and extern
sions to property-holdings rather than
the cost of subsistence, as the Demo
cratic calamity organs insinuate.

DEMOCRATS EVEN DIFFER.
St. Peter Herald.

2. III. Carney told a Globe reporter
that A. E. Pfau, of Mankato, was the
only man in the Second district that
the democrats could elect to congress
next year. While Pau is nice fell
low, we feel constrained to say that
the democrats of the Second district
are pretty hard up if they have got
but one eligible man for the position.
Suppose Pau should die or should not
be nominated? The declaration of
p. Hatch is untimely. With Buck
and dozen more this talk of only one
man sounds pretty thin.

SONG OF THE SEASON.
Marshall Messenger.

The chigger may CHG with all his
might and the knocking bird mock
and sing, but Minnesota takes the
cake-the wheat, you bet. is King.
The cricket may crick, and froglet
may frog, and the farmer may chat
his strain. for the Minnesota crop is
always on top-when plenty there is
of rain. The chinch bug may chinch,
the grasshopper hop, and the hot
winds make you tire: but if anyone
says there are such things here, just
call him condemned liar. Oklahoma
may boom, and Texas may howl, and
Washington shoot off her chop. but
this is the place TO get a new home
and raise an extra big crop.

Republican Unity.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 5.-NO better evil
dence Of the harmony existing in the Repub-
Iican organization throughout the state
could be desired by the most jealous sup
porter Of Gregg and Morrison than was
given at the Continental hotel this evening.
With State Chairman Watres under the same
roof at the same time were Senator Quay, c.
L. Magee of Allegheny, President Robinson
of the Republican State League Of clubs, ex-
Chairman Andrews and Cooper and score
oflesser lights. Chairman Watres was busy
early in the day meeting county ehairmen
from some of the nearby counties. He has
now met all the county chairmen and has
gotten the organization down 10 hard work
preparing to bring out good vote on cleo
ton day. Mr. Quay brought his family up
from Atlantic City and reached the hotel
shortly before o'clock. Magee got in from
New York a few hours before. The two
leaders had private conference on matters
bearing on the state campaign, and each
had talk with Watres. Magee assured the
state chairman that Western Pennsylvania
was in good shape and that Allegheny coun-
ty would give the state ticket from 10000
to 1900 majority he said the people gen
orally look upon Gregg and Morrison as eI-
cellent candidates, entitled 10 the loyal sup
port of every Republican. Messrs. Magee
and Andrews went west tonight. Senator
Quay expects to leave for home tomorrow
evening.
