SUNRISE SIGNALS.

There are no flies on st. Paul, and the
few fire bugs are now stuck fast on the
sticky fly paper Of invi ncible law.
In the St. Paul auditorium matter there
should be made no blunders. 1t was seri-
Gus blunder to force the new government
building on to four small lots out of a tri-
angular block of seven lots. The entire
block should have been utilized or the build.
ing should have been placed elsewhere.

The first forensic contest between Yale and
Harvard will be over the following: IRE
solved, That a young man casting his first
vote in 1892 should vote the Republican
ticket" Upon this question Harvard takes
the affirmative. In one sense Harvard has
the stronger position in the fact that the mis-
takes of youth have long since become pro-
verbal. But in the West it is a gratifying
evidence of precocious judgment that the
young men are ralying around the standards
of such men as Gov Boies and Peck Aside
pending debate in that she recently kicked
the stufing out Of Harvard college III foot
ball game.

The New YORK Press club held an electi on
last Monday, and in commenting upon the
event Toe Howard says: "How nice 1t would
be if James Gordon Bennett, Charles A
| Dana, Whitelaw Reid, Gilbert E. Jones' AL
L.
| Phillips Jr.. Benjamin Wood. John Swinton
W. T. G. Shanks, George Alfred Townsend,
| A. G. Wheeler. Ballard Smith an1 other
members of the profession would join the
| club and make it a genuine press club with a
hospitable home" The words of Howard
are worthy the consideration of every wor-
thy journalist. No man should have, in
| deed, no man has. the right to hold himself
even one degree above his profession. To
assume that he is trotting in faster class is
| the height of absurdity In st. Paul proprie-
tors of and workers on all the leading jour
| mails of the city have joined hands to make
the st. Paul Press club the grand success
which it is.
Anthony Comstock is in Chicago attempt

is vociferously calling for reinforcements in

Had any one twenty years ago foretold that
| artificial lightning would illuminate the
| skies above large cities, he would, most GER
| tainly, have been denominated a crank. Yet
| on moonless or cloudy night, the sky above
| ST. Paul, and over the lines of electric street
| railways, are necessarily frightened by the
reflection of electric flashes from the trolly
| wires. All these wonders are something we
| cannot tell our children. for The time is COM
ing when posterity can give us cards and
| spades. and then beat US out in the great
! game Of electrical science.
