SUNRISE SIGNALS.

The Georgia electric girl now giving ex-
hibitions i'll England, recently raised six
men with one hand" She must have had
something better than a hectic flush.

For the purpose of identification it was I'M
necessary to publish a cut of President Har
rison along with the message. The vast
number of personal pronouns therein gave
him away.
The desperate condition of the American
Protective Tariff league is accentuated by the
fact that it has employed the veracious-Eli
Perkins to write articles and bloviate on the
stump in favor of the Mckinley bill. Com
ment is unnecessary
-
The Detroit Free Press anxiously inquiries:
''What will the governor of North Carolina
say to the governor of South Carolina now
that the latter state threatens to adopt prohi-
bition?" There IS no necessity of changing
the tenor of the old-ume observation in the
least. 1t was. we believe, to the effect that

Emin Pasha is reported to be lost again.
But this fact is not what is keeping Henry NJ.
Stanley awake nights.

Prof John L. Sullivan advances the double
barreled proposition that he 'can drink or
let it alone.'' The first half of this state
ment is cheerfully admitted; will he please
name a date when he will begin making
bluff at demonstrating the latter?
-
The editorial snap-shotters who invariably
quaek in one key are urging upon too
placid public mot to the effect that Miss ST.
John should drop the ST. from her name.
This is extremely ungallant but, mayhap,
their photographic agony may be relieved by
the knowledge that the actress pronounces
her name ''Sin John" Thus the unities are
again preserved, as it were.

Boston complains that there are bacteria in
milk. Well, as that is a change from chalk,
we fail to see now Boston ''has kick COM
lng,' as Joseph Cook would express it.

The quadrennIal presidential boom of Sen
ator Sherman is now budding, and promises
to be in full bloom by June next. By the
way. Col. West. how many rooms has the
Sherman contingent engaged?

The attention of those indefatigable young
men now doing the hotels for st. Paul is
called TO the fact that s. Claus is in town and
will remain during the holidays. He is look
ing hearty, still wears Jerry Rusk whiskers
and exhibits no signs of decadence in en-
bonpoint
Lest the national Democratic committee
might not hear of it, the GLOBE calls its
attention to the fact that Kansas City. Ark
no, Kansas-but that can't be the state,
oft &c To har
self the fond deluslon that she is in the race
for the national Democratic convention.
This truth is forced home to us by the fol-
lowing friendly excerpt from the Kansas
City Star: These st. Paul fellows are good
workers. One might almost believe that a
few Kansas City men moved into Minnesota
last year. If this town expects to make
showing against the ST. Paul convention
boomers, it must waste no time" II is diff
cult to discover how time cuts any figure in
the alleged claims of Kansas City. A full
blown eternity wouldn't help Kansas City,
as far as the convention is concerned.
A Bombay parachutist is reported by cable
as having been dashed to death because he
went up too quickly In this respect the
death of the parachutist singularly resem-
bles the abrupt decease of the average $50
ciety journal in the far West.
For the express benefit of Chilli we are per-
mitted to quote from the advance sheets of
post-prandial reply to a toast, which reply is
to be made by one of the most distinguished
members of the st. Paul Featherhead club at
their Christmas banquet. The gentleman
mentioned will preface his remarks with
some virile poetry, of ominous import to
Chilli, but which fell as lightly from the
pen of st. Paul's most eminent dramatic
critic as fall the apple blossoms before the
gentle wind from Southland. The said emf
nent dramatic critic, to name whom would
be work of supererogation has endeared
himself TO all true Americans by that popu-
lar sentiment: Let me draw pay for the
songs of my country and l care not who may
have written the words TO which attach my
euphonious signature The lines which
will follow the Blue Points predatory to
the remarks of the distinguished member of
the st. Paul Featherhead club and written
at one sitting, with an evident purpose to
make Chill quail on toast by the said emf
nent dramatic critic of the 'single turn,
skirt dance, horizontal bar and Musical
Moke" school, are as follows:
Here's to the American eaglel
The American eagle, all hall
A bird whom none can inveigle,
Nor put salt on his beautiful TAIL"
