THE advocates OF Sunday opening of
the Worlds Fair met their Waterloo
last Monday in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, and it is considered that the
question is now finally settled so far as
Congress is concerned. There was
compromise bill before the House, ask
ing that the Fair be opened SUNDAY
afternoons. This bill was dropped in
the committee to which it was referred
and will not be taken up again. Some
few of the fighters for Sunday opening
still have hopes that things will TEEN in
their favor, but Congress will hardly
90 back on itself at thus late hour,

THE candidates for the supreme
courtship are both republicans. Judge
Webb was named by the State Bar
Association in Milwaukee last week,
and Judge Newman will come before
the people on a call signed by the attor-
news in his district as well as some
from other parts of the state. In both
cases the call is non-partisan and who
ever is elected will be so by votes from
all political parties. These men are,
no doubt, qualified to hold the position
for which they have been selected and
the contest will in no way be made q
partisan one.

NORTH DAKOTA sends a democrat to

ballots were taken when, by the solid
vote Of the democrats and ropulis's
aided b. a few disgruntIed republicans.
w. n Roach, lawyer OF Grand Forks,
was elected. He viii succeed repub
lican. Since the Wyoming legislature
has adjourned without eiectiDg United
States senator, and by so doing throws
the appointment Of a senator into the
governors hands, there will be clear
democratic majority in the senate. Now
that they have clean sweep in the
administration, the country waits inter
estedly to see what the great party Of
negation will do with itself and the

LAST fall Senator Villas helped get up
a national platform with plank in it
calling for repeal of the state bank

voted against ii, however, which was
perfectly right. But was the senator

seems that there is no responsible de-
posi'nry for whatever funds the officials
are uow collecting. By the failure Of
this bank, the bonds of the county col
iector and treasurer are weakened. The

fed by the officials Of the issane asylnms
