An attempt is being made to sresurrectI
Doctor Ames from, the political grave
which he seooped out for himself a few
years ago. He Is announced as an indie
pendent candidate for mayor at the next !
city election. The once genial doctor is
a CIPHER 10 politics since he insulted
the best friends he over had the Irish.
He has never apologized for his insults
so far as we are aware, and until he makes
reparation for the wrong he has done his
old friends we would suggest that he re-
main in political obscurity for the balance
of his natural life.

The architect Of s'Hi1s and Misses" in
the Times sometimes oversteps the
bounds Of journalistic courtesy. For in
stance, the other day he hit his noble
brother of the Globe too far below the
belt. He hit him in the feet staggering
blow when he referred to the pedal ex-
tremities of the Globe man making deep
lndentations resembling elephant tracks
on the soft soil surrounding the Fridley
barn, when he joined in the mad stampede
to escape the clutches of the Anoka
myrmidons of the law. That was cruel
blow, Mr.. Times man, and you ought to
feel ashamed of it. ,,. a%.

The Republican party in Minnesota is
in a quandary as to how TO pacify the
Scandinavians and keep them loyal with
out giving them first place for all the fat
positions. The Scandinavians are fast
becoming Americanized enough to know
their strength, and unless the party
bosses reward their allegiance they will
revolt and enter the Democratic camp
enmasse. What contrast between the
Irish and Scandinavians from political
standpoint The Irish have chung. faith
fully to the Democratic party during
it's long years of defeat, and they UNI
swervingly adhere to the party to-day
whether they get Office or not, But the
Irish are loyal and steadfast to principle,

A dog fight extraordinary took place
on Easter Sunday on the confines of
Hennepin aud Anoka counties and was
attended by the sporting fraternity OF the
Twin cities. The two CANNES, yclept
Sport and Penny, were engaged IN mortal
combat IN barn when. the. sheriff of
Anoka county and his posse appeared on
the scene. The authorities were armed
with rifles and revolvers and surrounded
the premises. The spectators of the dog
fight attempted to escape from the barn
but several got arrested. The referee,
Pat Stanley, Of St. Paul, IN attempting
to escape, was shot in the leg by one of
the sherif's deputies, it is supposed, and
the limb was terribly lacerated, requiring
amputation, from which the victim died
last Tuesday after intense suffering. The
friends Of the deceased have employed
w. w: Erwin to prosecute the brutal
deputy, and it is to be hoped that he will
be punished for his cowardly act. y

Minneapolis has been visited recently
by several big Republicans who inspected
the Exposition bulldog and pronounced
it the best and most commodious in which
national convention has yet been hold
in this country. J. Sloat Fassett, who
was defeated last fail for governor of
New York by Roswell ?. Flower, was
among the distinguished visitors, and
since his return home he has been *
travagant in praising up Minneapol for
a convention CITY. The facilities for the
accommodation of strangers attending
the convention are all that could be de-
sired, and the PROBABILITY is that strangers
will DO so pleased and delighted with
Minneapolis hospitality that the Exposi-
ton building will become a favorite re-
sort for the holding of national conven-
tione III the future. The weather will be
charming in June and many visitors wilt
depart feeling the beneficial effects 5;of
our climate.
