Judging from Harrisons message aud
Blaine's letters, the atmosphere of the pres
ent administration is exceedingly ingram
NAUTICAL.

in Republican ranks over Blaine's refusal to

The steady increase of Canada's debt will
soon make her annexation by the United

Chicago Democratic Committee.
Jim Blaine knows bad thing when he
sees it, and gracefully lodges defeat.
ExGov. Thayer is going to Texas That's
Garza's hang out. Is this in line with
"a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind" ?
Now Chicago has an auditorium famine
not men with big heads.
The nomination of John G. Carlisle at Chi
cago would not only wrest the state of Ken
lucky from the strong grip OF the Prohibit
tionists, but simultaneously spike the guns of
Editor Watterson.
If Blaine goes, it will be the work Of John
Nanamaker. who has Systematically To-
mented ill-feeling between the great secre-
tary of state and the president. If Blaine
goes it will weaken and degrade the cabinet

Africa goes steadily on, though people who
have witnessed the long-continued efforts to
ciyiiize returned African explorers will have
serious doubts concerning This statement.
st. Paul is abnormally timid. This is true
A majority of her citizens are supersensi-
tive. Nearly every day good local stories
concerning prominent people are told to re-
porters and editors. accom- panied by requests
to print them in the paper. But past expert
ence proves that such advice doesn't ''go."
On several occasions it has been tried with
disastrous results. New York. Chicago. Gin,
cinnati, Milwaukee, st. Louis and Pittsburs
papers make attractive features of local
sketches concerning local personages They
are received good-naturedly in the spirit in
which they are written. Try it IN St Paul

is received by the city editor, or managing
editor, or editor-in- chief. which is invariably
dropped into The waste basket But the writer
is appealed to- with the result of a dialogue
something akin to the following:
Editor is kicking about what you
wrote about him.
Writer-D-u -.
Editor-I know he is thin-skinned cuss,
bnt then, if he carries his heart on his sleeve,
it won't do for us to keep pecking at it.
Writer-No; that's SO. Well, I'll steer clear
Of him in the future.
Thus great deal that is lively, interesting,
jolly and entirely devoid of malice is sup
pressed in newspapers because local senti-
ment is strongly opposed to personal stories
and sketches. This. however. is true of no
large minded man in public lite. A little
newspaper fun at his expense he accepts
along with the undoubted valuable advertise
ment it gives him. Zimmerman. the great
cartoonist Of Judge, says that he has drawn
Senator David B. Hill in almost every ridi-
culous posture possible, and yet he has no
firmer friend in New York than "Dave" Hill.
