is BRECKINPIDGE ELIGIBL E?

1t is the opinion of Chicago peopl,
that Congressman W. G. P. Breckin-
ridge. the silver-tongued orator Of Ken
lucky. who was chosen to deliver the
opening address of the worlds fair.
ought to resign that post. He voted
against the congressional appropriation
to the fair. and the Chicagoans have no
further use for him. Perhaps in the in
terest of good taste and sound proprety
it would be we'll enough for him to ask
to be eXcused.-PittSburg Commercial
Gazette.
The people OF Chicago begin to think
that mistake was made when Repre-
sentative Breckenridge. of Kentucky,
was chosen as orator of the day on the
occasion of dedicating the exposition
buildings. Many persons outside of
Chicago took that view of the case when
the selection was first made. Mr. Breck-
inridge is far from being a typical Amer
lean orator. His course in congress. as
rule, has been that Of narrow. bitter
partisan. His opposition to the fair ap-
preparation, carried to the length of aid
ing small majority to ilibuster against
It, would make his appearance as orator
of the day at the dedicatory services en-
tIrey out OF place. Mr.. Breckenridge
ought to relieve the fair committee of
CiiC itCtSSitS Ol tdklEH dctlOn on lnG
matter by Withdrawing his acceptance
as orator of the day.-Phlladelphi
Record.
Let not Mr.. Breckenridge suppose
that fair-minded ChicagoanS, however
much their interest in the success of the
worlds fair prompted them to regret
that he was not in favor of the bill
which was approved heartily liz this
section, desire that he shall be punished
for having voted as his conscience die
tated. Nor must it be supposed that
any level-headed persons connected
with the management of the fair will
deem it necessary to discourage attend
ance at Chicago next year of all persons
who might have thought that it was not
proper to vote government aid in the
enterprise. To assume this attitude
would be churlIsh. provincial and hurt
ful.-ChicagO Times

FOR PRESIDENT
GROVER CLEVELAND.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
ADLAi E. STEVENSON.
THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.

After al's said and done, and despite
the requirements of gallantry, it must
be confessed that the woman in the
KING-PosTEN case best deserves public
eXecration. The rest are but her vic
tims-PosTEN, whose bones are rotting
in their coffin; KING, whose world shall
hereafter be his prison walls; the heart
broken wife of KING and the mourning
widow Of PoSTEN; the luckless sons and
daughters OF these two men, over whose
young lives the shadow of tragic crime
has been thrown; the SorrOwing friends
and kinSmen-all these are but the VIC
tins of one woman's guilt and greed.
By this woman KING was lured from
his home and the pursuits of honor.
She cast a spell over him that changed
his nature. From kind husband and
father, loyal friend, successful and
honored citizen, he became an out
cast and profiigate. He was weak,
of course, but that aggravates rather
than palliates the otfenSe Of this woman
who played upon his weakness. If her
course had been the outgrowth of pas
sion, however abhorrent and guilty.
there might be some excuse for her; but
it was not. 1t was the outgrowth of
greed - cool. calculating, loathsome
greed She kept KING in her tolls until
he had transferred to her every vestige
Of his large estates, even to the home
stead which sheltered his wife and chill
dren. And then she turned him adrift.
With SURPRISING insolence she ordered
him off Of ''her' premises. Bankrupt
in both fortune and honor, she sent him
back to those from whom she had lured
him. He sought to recover through the
courts at least portion of the fortune
out of which she had swindled him, and
in diabolical retaliation she caused her
attorney to bring the fair fame of
KINGS wife into question. PosTEN was
the attorney, and it was this feature of
the miserable affair that led directly to
the killing.
The world knows this woman as
MARY Z. PILLOW, widow of the Confed-
crate general, GIDEON J. PILLOW. She
is now living in luxurious retirement
on the Arkansas plantation which she
secured from KING, and where they
lived during the greater period of their
liaison. 1t is to be hoped that the wreck
of lives which she has wrought is suffi-
Gent to satisfy her. Out of the ruin of
these other lives her own rises tram
gully prosperous-but there is burden
of guilt on her soul which should
weight it down into eternal shadow
when this mortal life is merged into the
compensatory hereafter.

as man of fertile and original imagi-
nation. The assertion that "CARNEGIE
and the country are bankrupt is a
novel way Of linking lies, and is bound
to attract attention. As for the asser-
ton that ''all our millionaires are living
on the installment plan," Citizen TRAIN
ought to know il anybody does. being
one of them himself. "Installments of
breath" is probably the drift of this
glittering generality. and the GLOBE
sincerely hopes Citizen TRAIN will CON-
unue to draw his installments at salts
factory intervals, and that he may even
be enabled (aDd disposed) to make lit

Lost in New York.

hansaS Clty lines
Thomas E. Gaines and Hal Heddens,
two intimate friends in this city, were
in New York last week, but neither
knew the other was there. MI. Gaines,
while riding in an elevated car one day,
glanced at train going in an opposite
direction and saw Mr.. Heddens. Mr..
Heddens. looking out the window to see
what he could see, saw Mr.. Gaines at
the same time. The heads of both shot
out of the windows at the same time.
Four hands began to wave simulta ne
ouslv, and both began to shout in vain
effort to make the other understand
where he was stopping. Mr. Gaines
has written back to his friends here
that the last he saw of Mr.. Heddens he
was yelling like a Comanche Indian,
but not a sound could be distinguished.
They left the city without meeting.

STATE PRESS TIPS.

The Pipestone Farmers Leader recalls the
fact that two years ago Senator Davis stated
in his speech in this town that the g. O. D.
. had passed a law that would prevent the
formation of another trust. Since that time
the formation of the trust has been of daily
occurrence, N fact that speaks louder than

vest has commenced on small scale A
LITTLE barley has been cut in various portions
of the county and by next week the sound

The Atwater Press thinks it should "be re-
nlembered that the Peoples party is the
whisky party in Minnesota today. At its
satate convention the temperance plank was
rejected by the unanimous vote OF the dele
gales at the request of Donneliy Nearly
c, cry member of the Alliance wing is a tenn
perance man, while Donnelly and the Peoples
party wing are solidly on the side of whisky.
Temperance men cannot conscientiously
vote for Donpeily.'
The Swift County Monitor finds it ''really
laughable to read the statement in one of our
esteemed Republican exchanges that the
nomination of Hon. Bnute Nelson as gov
ernor is the complete triumph of the people
over party mechanism If ever state con-
ventioI had a slate all made up. the late Re
publican convention did, and Knute Nelson
was at the head of it, 1t is surprising that
even Republican paper will deny that The
bosses were just the people who pushed Mel
son forward when his name was first men
toned"
Speaking of the nationality question as the
determining force IL the nomination of
Knute Nelson, the Waverly Tribune says:
1T required considerable self-sacrihce on the
part of native-born Republicans 10 resort TO
this measure. inasmuch as the nationality
prejudice is full as well developed with them
as among any other class of citizens; but it
was desperate case, required heroic treat

Congressional Morals.

washington Star.
With ali of its faults of omission and
commission admitted, the present house
Is hardly as fair a target for the MORALS
as some OF its predecessors. The body
probably does not get worse morally as
it gets larger, following public opinion,
or trying to do it as nearly as possible.
Now, public opinion is progressive, so
far at least as outward morality aud de-
corum go. No member of congress
could do much ''reeling" from the use
of intoxieants in the attempted dis
charge OF his pnblic duties without such
a scandal as would drive him from the
public service. The critical Judgment
IN this generation is abier ana more
fearless and has more facilities for its
efficient expression than ever before.
