CEN. RusK As a FISHERMAN.
How He Turned the Joke Oncs Upon o
Time on the Minister.

A writer ia the Chicago Record calls
to mind story Of the late ex-Gov. Rusk
of Wisconsin. Most great men have
their fads and Gen. Rusk's was fishing.
No stress of weather, no cares of office,
no pride of high position, could keep
him long from his rod and line
Before he became governor he formed
the acquaintance of methodist min.
lister who was as great 3 fisherman as
himself. Their first meeting was some
what ludicrous. Jere Rusk was out on
fishing expedition and all tue fore.
noon he had noticed another man
whipping" the neighboring brook.
Along about noon he ran across the
fellow just as he was swallowing the
last mouthful Of what had evidently
been a sumptuor- lunch. Ia his bluff,
hearty way the general broke out:
sLook a-here, mister, why didn't you
save part of that lunch for ine?"
Stranger" the other fisherman be-
gan, I'm methodist preacher, and

"Not another word, mister" broke in
Uncle Jere. Just give us your hand
IL you are anything like the methodist
ministers up our way you don't get
sight Of a square meal often enough to
spare any of it when you do"
Soon after this Rusk was elected
governor and the methodist preacher
moved down to Spring Green. Often in
the years that followed the tall, bent
form Of the old governor was seen with
the preacher in search Of their favorite
sport.
One day they had become separated
for several hours and the governor had
succeeded in getting couple of small
trout, while the preacher had not even
had bite just as he was giving I'D
In disgust he found basket behind a
bunch of grass, and in IL were six tine
fish. Casting hurried look around
him he slipped them ali on his stringer,
and. dropping "A dollar in the basket, hs
hurried off 10 find the general.
But Uncle Jere, from behind clump
of willows, had seen IL all, and when
they met on their way home there was
ghost OF a smile under his whiskers
as the preacher Dragged about his fish.
That night there was "A reception at
the old town hall in the governors
honor and the preacher introduced
him.
With majestic wave of the hand he
began: "In little things. like the lead.
ing of an army in battle or the govern
ing of a state, Uncle Jere is all right,
but when it comes 10 great things of
life, like fishing, he can't hold candle
to a methodist minister"
There was a roar of laughter and APP
plause for good many Of the people
had seen the governors two or three
and the preachers nice string.

The Lansing Journal says that lone of
the most prominent and best informed re-

for the past two years or more been hand in
glove with the Pingree faction of the
party" was in Lansing last week and to a
Journal reporter declared on his honor
and authority as an acknowledged Pingree
fugleman, that His Honor, the Mayor of
Detroit, had positively determined not to be
a candidate for the republican gubernatorial
nomination this year. Immediately after
his triumphant reelection as Mayor" the
Journals informant said, "Pingree's old
yearning to be governor returned to his
bosom with renewed fervor, and he at once
sent his agents out into the state to spy out
the lay of the land. The report of these
agents, the chief of whom was Joseph
Greusel, the veteran newspaper man, was
THAT while there was much Pingree senti-
ment in the state, yet it did not outweigh
the Rich feeling, and chat this fact, coupled
with the strong sentiment i'm favor of stand
ing by the second term precedent, would
make 1t decidedly, not. to say hopelessly
uphill work for the Mayor should he decide
to enter the race. For this reason the
latter has decided to await until 1896"

Mayor Pingree was reelected for third
term mayor of democratic city by demo-
crat votes running up into thousands. All
honor to him because of his popularity with
his democratic neighbors. May he continue
mayor so long as he serves his people well.
But Pingree's home popularity is no reason
why Gov. Rich should be denied nomina-
ton for second term for governor. Gov.
Rich has served the state we'll and has
always been an honor to his party. He
most certainly should DO elected governor

The Chicago Inter Ocean, that great re-

recent era of financial depression but has
gone right along adding to its foundation
stones-a large and substantial circulation
with stride that under the circumstances is
truly wonderful. At one time additions to
the subscription list were coming at the
rate of 500 to LOO per day for the daily
issue, and as high as $500 per day for the
Weekly Inter Ocean. The result of this is
to place it easily at the head of the list of
