only q polite fabrication, but, were it so
Croker would not need fear. Even {
large, muscular, case of cholera would
flee from him more rapidly than did he
from the Lexow committee. A comb.
nation of all the ills that flesh is heir tc
would hesitate long and carefully before
attacking Mr.. Croker.
I see by the Grand Forks Herald that
Mrs. Eisenhuth's husband is at the Da-
cotah, where he has opened up an en-
dorsement headquarters, in the interests
of the Eisenhuth family. There is q
large and lurid difference in the atti-
tude of the pops at this time, as com
pared with the free and independent
grace with which they kicked the demo-
Gratis out Of the jamestown convention.
I wonder if the presence Of four of the
pop leaders at Grand Forks could be
~harmonized with that remark about
principles, not Offices"
In the same connection Of which I
spoke Monday, I learn that another
ukase from Auditor Porter to some OF
the leaders of the capitol construction
lists is that they mustn't, just really
mustn't, you know, spend too much
time at certain stores in town. I shall
look now for an official bulletin to all
employees prescribing the cut of their
whiskers and the amount of lump sugar
to be used in their coffee. It is really
quite amusing to notice the intense care
with which the construction of the CAPT
tol wing is being carried on.
After a perusal of Senator Hills vivid
speech in defense Of his arch-enemy
Grover Cleveland, and after reading
Davy's rather vivid comparison of
Germans attack, to the assassination of
Julius Caesar by his personal friends
Brutus and Cassius, merely in the in
terests of pure patriotism, I can almost
imagine julius is with us again. At the
same time, I am inclined to think the
comparison is rather rough on Caesar,
who was a good citizen in his day, and
who never,to my knowledge, was guilty of
any act of unkindness to the antecedents
of Senator Hill.
It is to be regretted that Governor
Hogg of Texas, should take such a pessi-
mistic view Of the future. After having
been presented with a gold watch by the
state militia, the governor responded in
an address pitifully prolific of pessimism
in which he predicted that within six
weeks dynamite would be resorted to in
Chicago, and the "tops of the twenty
story structures be spattered with the
hearts, lungs and livers" of her citizens.
The blood of every citizen of ChicagS be
upon his own head, should he p rsist in
leaving his heart, lungs or liver out
nights after this warning.
l would suggest that hereafter, in the
legal forms connected with divorce cases.
the style of higher courts be adopted,
and the title of cases read: MI. Tor Mrs.
as the case may be) Blank, plaintiff in
error, vs.. Mrs. (or Mr.. as the case may
be) Blank, defendant in error. This
title would, at a glance, explain the
nature of the action, and it's applicability
could not he denied. for surely there
must be error in the marriage some
where, or why the action? I have
not patented this idea, and anyone
is at liberty to reap as large
a fortune as possible therefrom.
AS a c~oat-of-arms for the Ransom
county anti-horsethief association, I
should suggest a tree rampant, and about
sixteen feet of good, stout, hemp rope
pendant, the rope to be adorned at one
end with q miniature horsethief. Horse
stealing is admitted by all who have had
experience with horse thieves, to be a
malignant disease, and the only persons
L have ever seen who were thoroughly
cured Of it, after having once contracted
the trouble, were those who were treated
by the vigilants ont west some years ago.
The treatment vas distinctly allopathic
IN every case-local applications Of hemp
and hypodermic injections of lead.
In consideration of the fact that it Is
woman against woman in the race for
state superintendency this fall, 1 am
at a loss to see why women should not
be permitted to vote for a candidate for
that office. Surely something is wrong
is a system which permits a woman to
run for an Office where she is debarred
from the support of her political sisters.
There must be a feeling OF unutterable
helplessness in the mind Of a woman
whose political fate Is being decided,
and who cannot have a voice in the de.
cision. It he's been said that women are
the best judges Of women, and il this be
true, why not allow them to assist il
the choice OF one of the seq for office? II
women are to be permitted to hold Office,
then by all means let EN- vote, to decide
which should be the oMce-holder.
