Il L. Pollen From Cone Bearing
H.cea.

The peculiar yellow scum which has
made its appearance on the surface OF
Lake Superior during the past few
days has called out much discussion as
to its formation. .All over the Lake for
miles out this curious substance may
be seen. 1t was at first thought by
some to be sulphur rained down. Then
SaWduSt was suggested: dissolved pop
lar seed came next, while pollen dust
from the cone bearing trees along the
lake shores was suggested. There Is
little doubt, however, that the last eX
PLANTATION is the correct one. Persons
who have lived near pine or spruce
groves attest this fact and say that one
or two large trees Will produce bar
rel of the dust.
The statement has gone abroad that
the substance came from the bottom
of the lake-sort of an annual spring
clearing-and that the extremely warm
weather has caused it to come up in
larger quantities than in former
springs. This condition of the lake, y
said an old sailor, lis called being in
bloom.
Excellent authorit les hold. however,
that the substance is pollen dust. This
dust is found OF many of the streets
and in many Superior and Duluth
houses, having been carried by the
lake breezes. The Leader.

LITERARY NOTES.

The presidential election of next
November will be The first in which
the Australian ballot has been gener-
ally used. Thirty-ijve states Will use
the new system and there Will no doubt
be less interference with free ballot
than ever before in the history of the
country. The Southern States general
ly have not adopted the system and in
Eastern states, the Australian system
has been 50 modified that tie chances
for fraud are as numerous as under
the old ballot liws.--Graphic, Chicago.

Rotation In OMcc.


Under the ahoye heading the Sl1an-
ti:sl"ven, Of Chicago, Ill, says:
There is :. fearful amount Of bal
legisL;tIon III this country, and tie
chief source Of this evil is to 3e found
IN the application Of the principle Of
rotation IN Office to legislative uos!-
,ions. Law making is a sab l. science
and fine art, the most ditiic;tt task
of all in the complex and complicated
process of government. Tie most
finished lrJduct Of modern civ:lIZa-
ton is wise and successful law
maker He is, or ought to be, the
skilled vol nan of politics PW ef-
0lcn0.'
After giving considerable argument
against the constant and frequent eX-
rll.n-in. of good and experienced men
in our legislative branches of public
service, and the public benefits derived
from retaining this class Of official,
after they have become acquainted
with their duties ana the methods O.
successful legislation, the paper con
continues:
IN L. IIaugen is a case in point.
He has served the same district for
three consecutive terms i'll Congress,
and is understood to be willing TO ac-
cept the congressional nomination this
fall in his new district which is made
ap largely of the counties forming the
old eighth district. Technically CON
s;tiered, his nomination would not be Il
denomination; but the people are re
qu1sted to look at the substance of the
thing and to send some other man, for
the very reason that Iiaugen has
served long enough to acquire thor
oagh familiarity with congressional
routine and The work of national law
making 1t is possible, at least il is to
be hoped, that the good sense of the
people will assert itself in this instance.
Ilaugen'S record as member Of the
lower house is one of brilliant, solid
ability. In the great battle with the
southern brigaaicrs he has stood firm
as il rock against which the wares of
fury dash in van. His contributions
to the great tariff discussions in the
house rank with the best efforts Of the
ablest members of the house. He pos
seSScs what may be termed Il ''legisla-
tive temper in an eminent degree,
ard is endowed with al the essential
qualities of Il useful and wise law
maker-wide information, studiouS
mind, native conservatism, well
grounded convictions upon public
uueSti ions. and liberal supply Of prac-
teal common sense. 1t WAS not a po-
litlc:,l accident that he alone was saved
out of the general wreck in Wisconsin
two years ago. AS law is the result OF
accumulated experience of ages, so
law making is pre-emincntly q work
of experience. Men who have demon
strated fitness for legislative work
should be returned as long as they are
willing TO serve y. Il. Ilaugen should
be returned this fall because his
career in Congress proves him to be a
man possessed of uncommon ability
and wisdom as Il law maker"

marked the widows geese.
One day the widow was in the yard.
and he mustered Up courage and asked
the price OF a particularly tine-loo!.ins
fowl. 1t happened 10 be gander.
and the only one in the focl. The
widow appeared 10th to name a price.
She feelinglv compared the loneliness

Mills appeared all the more determined
to have the gander while the iGow
resolutely opposed him. He found.
he told her there was no other way
Of obtaining possession Of the gander
and 20 he spanked up and popped the
question.
At first the widow hesitated. but she
finally relentad. She went into the
house and put on her best bonnet
while Farmer Mills drove the geese
into the pond Both then got into his
wagon and drove to the methodist par
sonage at Comac, where they were
married and the threatened widow

They drove back to the little white
cottage. where Farmer Mills put up
his horse and penned up the geese for
the night He drives the geese to and

was at the end OF an interview with
which Mr.. Croker defined the position
Of Tammauy at the national convention

Mr.. Croker was asked what course
Tammany wouldNpursue at the national
convention. He said Tammany's dole
CATION would vote for Senator HILL. It
had been instructed to do so by the
state convention and it would DO dis.
honorable on its part not to do so.
AR. Croker was then asked what the
Tammany organization would do in the

"Tammany," no said, twill give him
its most loyal support, OF course. Why,
