Oas way Of Propo.inE..

An English writes tells an amusing
story Of country house where regular
daily routine is observed, and where no
chance is given one Of breaking the mon
otony. Il is Of . man who wanted to
stay in . country house, thinking Il
would give him the opportunity Of pro-
posing 10 a girl with whom he had been
in love for 4 long time. His visit wins to
last fortnight, but the last eveninghame
without his having had one chance Of
being alone with her during the whole
time. As he sat at dinner he felt that the
time was fast passing away, and in . few
hours be would no longer be in the same
house with her. When the ladies went
10 the drawing room room he would have
to sit on In the dining rOonl. His-host
might allow him to look In at the draw,
ing room for q few moments that evening
but after that bis presence would be re-
quired in the billiard rvOin. In utter
desperation he took up the menu card
and on Il wrote: "Will you marry mei"
He doubled II up, telling tho butler 70
give It to the lady IN question. He did
90. She read Il, and, with the perfect
sang 1rOid born only Of the nineteenth
century, ssid: .'Tell the gentleman yes.

R.puaIats the mckinley mn.


Philadelphia Record: Twice since the
passage Of the Mckinley tariff act has
Iowa repudiated the party that enacted
1t. The large republican majorities in
Illinois have been steadily melting away
until 1900, when the tables were COM
pletely turned by the election Of the DEM
ocratic state ticket, Of a democratic
United States senator, and Of fourteen
out Of twenty members Of congress.
Much the same results have been record
cd In Michigan and Wisconsin. 1t would
be absurd 10 attribute these union results
to accidental and ephemeral issues. It
needs bot little acceleration Of the tariff
reform movement to land every state Of
the northwest next November in the
democratic camp.

UNBIASED CRITICISM.

"The trouble" says the Chicago Her
old. "growing out of the Worlds Fair
catalogue concession to Conkey s. Co.
appears to have been. amicably and sat
isfactorily settled. The trades unions
have withdrawn the charges that they
preferred against the fair officials, and
Conkey G Co. have agreed to adopt the
same rules in their establishment are
in force 10 the great newspaper offices.
"Investigation of the charges" con-
Times the Herald, drought against the
fair officials failed 10 disclose proofs of
ANYTHING more serious than mistaken
Judgment. The real bone OF conten-
ton, and probably the cause Of most OF
the unpleasant things said against the
officials Of the exposition, was the fact
that Conkey & Co. were held to be in
imical to the labor organizations.
This firm has made it's peace with
the craft" the Herald adds, land there
appears to be no grounds for the sus-
picion that anybody has used his con-
nection with the fair for his personal
advantage"
Why doesn't the Tntelligencer quote
the honest newspapers of Chicago on
this subject? All of them have pub
lished the facts with criticisms except
one BLACKBOARD sheet, which has
reasons OF its own for suppressing the
truth, and this same BLACKBOARD sheet
is the only paper t6e m.eIygeacer pays
any attention to. Birds OF feath-

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, December %.
The discharge of Capt. McRea, of
the Superior police force, has led to
startling developments. The details OF
the story have not yet been obtained,
but there is no doubt OF its Importance.
For some time the United States has
been in active pursuit Of the largest
and most daring gang OF countsrfeiters
known in the past twenty years. Thirty
secret service officers have been en-
ployed on the case, but were unable to
locate the gang. Some time ago the
Superior police, in making a search for
stolen property, discovered quantity
Of dies and other apparatus for coun-
terfeiting.
The dies discovered were examined
and it is known that the dangerous
money in circulation was minted in
them. The gang has made Supe-
rior it's headquarters and Duluth,
Ashland and other adjacent points its
chief base of operation. Its money has
been circulated in every city In the
United States. No arrests have yet
been made but they are expected soon.
Among the men said to be Involved is
one OF Superior's prominent business
men. Members Of the secret service are
ia Minneapolis, Milwaukee, ST. Paul,
Duluth and Chicago shadowing men
who are connected with the gang.
Chief of Police McRea was suspended,
1t is said, for the indiscreet use OF his
knowledge of the above affair, and pc
lice scandal of big proportions is prom
ised.

LITERARY NOTES.
The "Century" and "st. Nicholas" for
1892

1892.
The REGISTER acknowledges the re-
ceipt Of the bound volume Of the Cen
tltry for the past six months, and OF ST.
Nicholas for the past year. Both vol
umes are splendid evidences OF the abil-
ity OF the Century Company to produce
fine periodicals. In them the art Of mag
aZne making has reached perfection.
The Century presents a wealth OF inter
esting matter, practical questions Of
moment finding a place for discussion in
its ample pages, as well as the best fic-
ton and profusely illustrated papers
upon wide range of topics. Not the
least interesting is the mechanical
work. Paper, press work, Illustrations
and binding are alike perfect, and the
volume is delight TO lover of beauti-
full books. What is true OF the Century
is also largely true of St. Nicholas, the
best magazine for the young produced
in this or any other country. To boy
or girl this matchless magazine presents
a wealth Of attractions.

ST. CLAIR has put new estimate on the
