No Discussing of Tastes,

Here is a sketch of Lobengula as drawn
by Lieutenant II. Crichton Browne in his
paper read to the British association: HE
is a very jolly old colored gentleman with
a broad, good natured countenance, cap
able of unpleasant contortions no doubt,
but still good naturcd ON the whole, and
with a huge and unwieldy body. He has
comparatively small hands and feet and
an air of dignity that distinguishes him
from even his highest Induna and marks
him out as being every pound king.
Lobengula is a gentleman, and not. as has
been affirmed, repulsive in appearance"
Mr.. Crichton- Brownies tolerance for the
king does not appear to have extended to
the kings wives.
He met the head wife on the way and
thought her very ugly. But It cannot be too
often remembered that there arc two sides
to all these questions Of taste. Mr.. Ma
Rnire-so the story runs-neariy lost. his

The wheeiman,s Solemn Phiz.

A correspondent writes to inquire why
the passing bicyclist has so grave n mien-
why he looks as if he might be pedaling
his own hearse to the cemetery. The sport
of wheeling is described in the bicycle ad-
vertisements as so exhilarating that one
expects to see the face of the man awheel
constantly wreathed in smiles, his cheeks
glowing with the ruddy fame of health
and his eyes sparkling with the vitality
impaired by fresh air and exercise. But
these expectations are seldom realized.
The average 'cyclist looks as if he had
been sent out to subpoena a coroner's jury
for his own inquest. His gaze is fixed about
IL miles up the road, his lips are set, and
the corners of his mouth are drawn down
until his facial expression is mixture of
grim determination and utter despair.
Our correspondent wants to know why
this is thus, and the query is a natural
one. 1t may be answered, Yankee fashion,
by another questions: Is it not a fact that
the average American always makes a
grim and serious business of his recrea-
ton? Is it not fact that he seldom smiles
Gin the literal sense of the word) when he
Is alone? Is it not true that even when he
sallies forth for gregarious enjoyment, as
it were, on lakeside picnic or distant ex-
cursion bent, he makes harder work of it
than haying or harvesting? Is it not a
fact patent to every good observer that
there is too much deadly earnestness and
too little laughter in our American life,
and is it not true that many of us are never
SO miserable as when pretending to have a
good timer
Then why wonder at the solemn phiz of
the passing Observation-Disclosures Trib-
une.

THE FARGO POsTOFFICE

The approach to Washington of the
ponderous Fargo editor and political
artist to take hand in the perplexing
and heSitating Fargo postoffice fight,
evidently drove the president to des-
peration. As the timing seems to be,
the editor could not have been as near
the city as the Confederate cavalry was
once or twice during the war, when the
Stumbling of the advance reached the
seat of postal power and rapid decis-
on was attained. The candidate Of
the senators was up and Congressman
JOHNSON was down. 1t may be noted,
incidentally, that both of the candidates
for the Fargo Office are qualified
for model officials in all business
relations, but the contest is impor-
tant in its relation 10 the pending party
outcome in the state. 1t was charged
against Mr.. JORDAN, the candidate of
the senators, that he gave the influence
of his paper for Col. BENTON. the Dem
Ocratic candidate for congress in 1890
against JOHNSON. The fact was too
palpable for denial. JOHNSON was a
pill that many Republicans would not
take. He was run close and probably
saved by posing as Scandinavian.
That element he claims as his special
capital. He is irrepressible, and, hay
Ing chance to soar once at Washing
ton, he proposes to get back there in
some shape. He will probably be able
to get the nomination for representa-
tive, as he has a nationality aud most
of the working politicians for him. But
he will be cut and probably defeated at
the polls if the Democrats have good
man. The postoffice decision has its
political Importance in the recognition
of a faction. and the one that has set
an example of stiletto work in politics.
Nearly all the old-time politicians, the
hustlers OF the territorial era, are over
the breastworks with Johnson. They
will aid to prevent anything like tor
pidity in the politics of the state this

Law AND LOTTERIES.

The highest court of the nation yes
terday read the death warrant of the
Louisiana lottery. 1t was the last hope
OF this concern that the postal act of
congress against the traffic would be
held unconstitutional and set aside.
The supreme court declares it constitu-
tional and hence in full force New
York Herald.
The United States supreme court has
rendered a decision upholdlng the con-
StitutionalitY of the anti. lottery act of
the last congress. affirming the decision
in the cases of the publishers of two
New Orleans newspapers, indicted on
charges of sending through the mails
newspapers containing lottery adver-
Observation-Disclosures (Minn.) Repub-
lican.
This decision affects only the circula-
ton of lottery literature through the
mails. But congress also has power to
regulate commerce between the states.
Therefore, it can likewise exert it's re-
strictive authority Oh behalf of the pub
lie welfare and morality, over express
and telegraph companies to restrict the
business of the Louisiana lottery to the
domain of Louisiana.-New York Tele-
gram.
= The United States supreme court has
decided that the anti-lottery act is CON-
stitutional, and that newspapers con-
tanning advertisements for the lottery
may be refused the privileges of the
mails. There are precedents for this
decision, but the II additions of this coun-
try are against the establishment of

LEADS IN WHEAT.

Commissioner HELGESEN, of North
Dakota, comes to the defense of his re-
cent figures putting the wheat yield of
the state the past year at 64.000, 900
bushels. He has been ridiculed by
prominent papers and holders of wheat
in his state for finding total so far in
excess of other computations, and SIMS
ter motives attributed to him. 1t is as
5umed that his statement being that of
the official Statistician, will be accepted
as sufficiently reliable to affect the mar
ket, and lower the prices. The only
force to this point must lie in the as
sumption that the bulk of the crop IS
still in the state, held for sale
when the prices advance. 1t is
intimated even that the commits
sioner must have personal ends
to subserve by his romantic estimates.
But he makes out a fair case in his re-
ply. The acreage is official and the only
question is whether the average of 22.5 s
bushels per acre is too high. This is
based upon the reports of from FIVE to
twenty correspondents from each
county, deductions being made whe re
the figures seemed excessive. This is
the usual way of making up such sta
tistics, and as they are considered in de-
tail they appear to be less improbable.
The year previous the same plan was
pursued, the estimates largely coming
from the same man, and the totals were
found million bushels below the later
reports of the assessors. The estimate
per acre is not unprecedented in the
Red river region, and if the acreage is
official there is no way to greatly reduce
the aggregate. 1t is somewhat of a
novel fact that old time boomers now
would disparage the prosperity of their
own state. 1t is great advertisement
for it that so early in its history, and
with so small part of its productive
area in wheat it can take the lead of
the states both in yield per acre and
total production. A dozen million
bushels, more or less, in 100000. GOO will
not materially affect the market, but.

ELECTRIC NAVIGATION

The boys of forty or fifty years ago
will remember the intense delight with
which they absorbed the narrative of
the adventures of MARCO PAUL in his
thrilling journey westward upon the
Erie canal. just now a mule-pOwer
canal as mode of travel does not seem
specially eXhilarating or suggestive of a
rapid age, but that canal still has an i'm
portant commercial and economic mis-
sion. 1t is not so valuable for what it
accomplishes directly as for its effect in
holding down railroad rates. On the
great food staples there is always con-
siderable advance in rates from the
lakes to tjdewater when the navigation
season closes. The canal is of interest
to the producers of the West,
then, in enabling them to reach
the great markets more cheap
ly. Schemes for It's enlargement and
Improvement are numerous, the most
extensive and important being its con-
version into a ship canal. This is a
vast enterprise. but far from being
ehimerical. In an age like this, hardly
anything is out of keeping that promises
reasonable returns. The New York
legislature this winter will be strongly
pressed to expend 100000 in making
the water channel nine feet in depth.
1t is urged in opposition to this that any
great expenditure in deepening the
water should look to the ship canal, or
that the money should be expended in
accelerating the present transit so as to
better compete with the railroads.
This latter idea is to be worked
out by the use of electricity. Tho
horse and mule are to be as obsolete on
the tow path as on the street car track.
1t is computed that the overhead wires
and plants between Buffalo and Albany
will cost about s., 100000. The electric
ity would be generated by water power
along the line, and cost but little in
comparison to the force employed where
the water propulsion is wanting. The
cost of fitting the boats for this use
would be but 5000 OF $500 each, and the
operating expenses would be greatly
lessened, probably as much as they have
been in the street car systems. The
great utility, however, would be in the
increase of speed. The six days would
be reduced to perhaps four. increasing
The capacity one-third. 1t is not believed
there will be any difficulty in the nayi-
CATION by electric motor.
