Mutually Defeated.
St. Louis Republic.


In such condition as that ct Minpe>
spolis 10 reliance whatever can be put
on any claim made by the par ties to the
convention. All that the closest and
most impartial observer on the ground
can setis general impression that one side
is outshouting or lying the other. As be-
tween the Harrison offlceholders and the
Blainiscs at Minneapolis it is hard to de-
eide on his point. The bread>apd-b ut.
ter brigade is very much in earnest. and
it is making great deal of noise. but
nevertheless the country holds to the i'm,
preston it has had for months that Har
rison's denomination against Blaine's on
position is impossible.
Only the utter insanity of the repub.
hcsn convention could make it possible
Even with Blaine's support Harrison
would not BE elected against any decent
democrat. This is not partisan asser,
ton. but the statement of an unbiased
opinion, formed after three years ard
more OF constant observation of the eff
iects OF his course on the people. Were
he renomlnateu, his reelection would be
almost miracle, even if he had Blsines
support. But now. after his break with
Blaine, he could not carry six states in
the Union. We do not see how he could
be renominated in any convention held
outside of q lunatic asylum, but il NAV
DE- tnat the republicans are capable of it g.
0t course the same reasons which
would make Harrison's defeat inevitable
apply with almost equal force to Blaine,
VINO mas been the leading member OF
Harrlson's cabinet. officially committed
TO every act OF the Harrison administra
ton. II nominated he would have to
run on Hsrrison's record against Harri-
sons opposition, and, under such circum.
stances. he would not have one chance
in ten of election.
10 assume the probability of the NOM
lnation OF either Blaine or Harrison is to
take 1t for granted that the Minneapolis
convention is to be governed by mere
frenzy. Undoubtedly it will be to
very great extent. but
mus lar the republican party has
never lacked an element of the most cold,
oiooded calculators, who care nothing
ior men; who are always ready to subject
tnelr friendships and their enmities tc
their financial interests. The Cent Pei
Cent Piutocrsts feel that they have mil.
lions at stake, and their influence will be
directed to secure the nomination O,
some man whose election will not be
made impossible by the mere fact of his
nomination, as the conqueror in q deadly
feud.
Unless the republicans are crazy. Hsr.
rison and Blaine have already beaten
each other.

Discovery of Purple.

A dog belonging to Hercules Tyrius was
one day walking along the seashore, when
he found and ate a murex, species Of
shellfish. Returning to his master the
latter noticed that the dogs lips were
tinged with color, and in this manner
Tyrian purple was discovered. The color
was used in the robes of emperors and no
bles, aud the expression born to the pur-
pie" meant that the person was of high
birth. 1t is strange to think that the IA
vorite color of royalty can be traced to the
curiosity or hunger of the dog of Tyre

was held in Mt. Jackson on Saturday,

cided TO have another meeting at Wood

near North River Mills. The mountain is
large and rough, and just above the ice
formation is huge mass of broken rock,
entirely destitute of any vegetable
growth. At the base on the western
slope, for a distance Of about one hundred
yards, only few feet from the river, Is
ice in considerable quantities. Holes
have been made by removing the stones
TO q depth Of from two to three feet, and
in the bottom of these IS the ice. was
informed that plenty of ice can be found
there all through the summer. | read oi
this years ago but did not believe it,
Now am satisfied, and rs far as my testi.
moDy goes, others may receive 1t as
fact.
