GROWERS NEW BOOM.

Each day increases the probability
that it will be Cleveland versus Harri-
son again.-New Haven News.
Some papers are inclined TO ridicule
MIR. Cleveland because he is duck hunt
ing while Hill is delegate hunting. But
of late Grover is getting more ducks
than Davy is delegates Peoria Tran
script.
Cleveland appears to be gaining
little lately, but there is no PROBABLE
ity of a reaction in his favor that will
offset the fact that his own state has in
structed for another man.-St. Louis
Globe-Demoerat.
The admission by Cal Brice that
Cleveland will probably be nominated
at Chicago can only be interpreted TO
mean that he and Senator German are
quick to observe that the people are
power after ail.-Eyansyille Courier
There are remote contingencies which
might change the action of either of the
national conventions, but today it seems
reasonably certain that the battle of
1892 will be fought under Cleveland and
Harrison. the old competitors
delphia Record.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland
is the choice of III overwhelming major
ity of the Democrats of the country.
He is probably the choice of a majority
of the Democrats in every state i'll the
Union, not excepting New York.-ln-
dianapolis Sentinel.
Don Nj. Dickinson thinks Mr.. Cleve-
land will have enough votes to insure
his nomination by the Chicago conyen-
ton before New York is called upon to
express her opinion. This is bold
guess, but who will say that there is
not something in Wheeling Regis

Post.
One of the most significant signs OF
the times is the quite recent declaration

that Gray should not be considered as

AN AVERAGE MAN.

A realistic story
Without any gLsh or glory,
With no sentimental limelight
And no frework display.
Bout poor old ignoramus
Who was never rich nor famous,
Andewho couldn't ignite the river.
And who worked oul by the day.
A very common Teller
Was this Ebenezer Weller,
With the usual share of virtues
And with vices two or three;
He'd no fatal gift of beauty,
But an average sense OF duty.
Neither very good or evil
just about like you and me.
And he wed an average woman,
Very nice and very human;
Just about like EbeneZer,
Neither very good nor bad
Oft in harmony they'd MARBLE.
Often they would scold and sguabbie,
But they loved each other dearly
And they couldn't continue mad.
Never had enough on Monday
To supply the house till Sunday;
Never made enough in April
To support themselves in May.
If they worked hard in November
They must work hard i'll December,
Aud the coarse bread of tomorrow
Was the hard work of today,
They worked on and grew gray and grayer,
Yet they never made him mayor,
And she piucked no social honors.
And his wages still were small:
Then the load of years grew weighty,
Aud they died when they were eighty,
And they put them in the graveyard.
Aud they left them there. That's all.
A realistic story,
Withoutany gush or rlorr;
Yet this fellow Ebsn yer
Represents the human clan:
His the average share of leasure,
His the average lack OF his;ire,
His the average j,y ana sorrow
OF the Common average nah.

THE PRESS IN POLITICS.

The A.water Press threatens to bolt over
into the Alliance if Gov. Merriam is renom-
mated.
The Duluth Tribune asserts that Attorney
General Moses Z. Clapp is the choice Of St.
Louis county Republic MS for governor.
The Sank Center Avalanche says that Con-
gresham Lind is all right for governor. be-
cause he can vote on both sides OF the silver
question.
The Jordan Independent cheerfully an
nounces that Hon. o. NJ. Hall makes a good
representative. and predicts his return to
congress for another term.
With Cush Davis ON the supreme bench,
Merriam III the United States senate and Mel
son for governor, the Ortouyille Star Herald
wonders where would be the people.
The Faribault Pilot calls attention to John
Lind's vote on the silver bill. and draws the
Inference that the Republican members of
congress are not dwelling together III peace

The Anoka Union has heard that W. r.
Merriam was likely to enter the race again
for governor, and says: Better not Will;

THE DEAD ISSUE"

Mr.. Bland should accept the inevita-
bic, and make souvenir spoon out of
his silver biIi.-LouiSyille Times.
The silver bill is dead. The attempt
to bring it up again was to allow the
mourners chance to pay some tributes
to its imaginary virtues. - PittSburg

Dead in the house of its friends is the
report that has come from the national
capital about the silver bill. 1t is the
unexpected, says the shrewd French
philosopher, that appenS.-Philadel
phia Ledger.
just for tie humor of the thing, it
seems pity that the Bland bill cannot
go to the senate. 1t would be pleasant

and Hill, boldly put itself ON record
Kansas City Star.
The committee on rules is to be COM
mended tor its good sense in declining
to undertake the impossible. A bill as
dead as the Bland bill is too dead to be
brought back to life by any committee
or party. 1t deserved Its fate.-Phila-
delplia Times.
The silver question does not cut quite
as large figure as it did short while
ago. 1t is well, for the general public
cares about as much rOr IL either way as
an Indian does for Sunday, or a Repub-
Ican paper for the truth. Farewell,
farewell! Requiescat in pace.-Lafay-
cite journal.
Now that the Bland bill is buried it
should be allowed to diSintegrate with
out disturbance. 1t cannot be ex humed
without danger to public hea tn, and it
must pass peacefully into that oblivion

turn medicine to suit his case. The
medicine came yesterday. 1t was ad-
ministered in order to bring sleep, and

of the medicine. He believes it to be
an herb called conaium or hemloek. In
