That record breaking horse Arion sold
for Sl5o,0O0. No one seems disposed to pay
anywhere near that figure for a human rec

After all there has been no real Chllian :
news published in the papers. Immense

Both Chicago and Dave Hill suffer by the !,

Joe Howard inquiries in the New York Re-
corder: What becomes of WORKOUT MINIS

should not judge benevolent residents of
humble towns wherein these superannuated1
ministers are housed and cared for by COM
parison with the heartless millionaires of
Gotham. People are allowed to starve to
death in New York to the sensuous music
of an Astor or Vanderbilt german.

may be that ID. Harris on is along with them.
If ever an administrator was ''all at sea-"
the present one gives a fair imitation of it.

The recent weakening of the Chilian gov

1t is utterly useless for Chicago to claim

Wednesday last the ST. Louis Globe Demo
| crat said: 1.-The contest for the privilege of
entertaining the Democratic national con-
! vention lies between Kansas City, Milwaukee
and ST. Paul" Geographically considered,
Chicago hardly comes up to this prediction.

! Chicago papers simultaneously announce
| its capture of the convention and the ex-
istence of a water famine. The one, how
| ever, by no means seriously affects the
| other.
Now that the smoke of battle has claared
| away. it is a good time to remind Minneapo-
| lis, st. Paul and other cities that in the long
run, 1t does not pay to underestimate The in
| huence of the press and its reportorIal at
taches. AS a reporter stands in the presence
OF prominent business man he may per-
sonally appear rather an Insignificant factor
IN earthly mutations; but it should be re-
| membered that, behind his own minor indi-
viduality, is a voice which in many instances,
reaches and influences millions of readers
1t IS the combined testimony of eminent
statesmen and politicians that antagonism of
newspaper writers never failed to rebound
| iDjuriously to their prospects. while courteous
treatment to this class of workers was never
wasted. FavOrs to the press are only solicited
IN order that the press can, in turn, accom-
modate its reading constituency ID the best
manner possible. The press owes this duty
to its patrons, and no surprise need be occa-
stoned when the men employed to do this
work take umbrage at certain Sights which
are needless and easily avoided by the pub
lie.
SO far as heard from, GOV. Mckinley is the
only one who has discovered American tin

Blaine is now reported to be living upon
SKINNED milk. Really, the gastric economy
of this administration requires a dose of

Belva Leckwoo cd announces that she stands
upon the same platform as Blaine. Were
she to go inside the car perhaps some gentle
man would give her his seat.
Considering the famboyant statements
that Chicago didn't want the conventions;
that she made no efforts to secure it. and that
1t was forced upon her, the publication of
the private advices'' to Senator Brlce in
which the guarantee fund was pledged would
make mighty interesting reading.
Editor M. Almy Al lrich, who fell into
baptismal font at Grand Rapids. Mich,
previous to introducing Max O'Rell. is said
to resemble King Humbert of Italy. This
explains the accident; he couldn't see over
his moustache.
