goes out of fashion and something is
discovered to take it's place.
RATIFIED.

The morning Republican organ has
got itself so badly mixed on the New
York situation that one wonders why
it does not preserve discreet silence.
It's one consistent policy is to be vir-
tuously Independent between cam
paigns, and a rabid partisan when
there is an election pending. So it was
at one time wont to urge tariff reform
for three years and six months, and
to support ultra protection doctrine the
other half-year while a national cleo
tion was in progress. But it had sense
defenses. 1t spent some weeks lately
iE eulogizing Mr.. Seth Low, showing
his admirable fitness for the office Of
mayor of Greater New York and urg-
Low is the same man, with the same
record, but Platt has said that he must
not be elected; and this makes all the
difference in the world to an organ.
Ii now informs it's readers, in the same
article, that Low is good man and
bad one; the leading Republican can
didate and not a Republican at all;
that black is white, and that it is bad
ly ratified.
1t assumes, with apparent oblivious-
ness of the absurdity, that all the de-
cent people of New York are support
ers of either Tracy or Low; although it
knows, and has even admitted in it's
vacation hours of neutrality-suspicious.,
that there is not an atom Of moral
difference between the Platt machine
and the Croker machine; either as to
men or methods. 1t apologies for the
refusal to indorse Low by telling peo-
pie that he is mot a Republican at all. y
He is a free trader, and refused to ad-
wise honest men to vote for Blaine,
and did all sorts of dreadful things
Therefore, HE is persona non grata
to the Republicans of New York. There
is no hope that they can be brought
to vote for him." And not fifty lines
away, in the same article, is the state
ment that 72 per cent of Lows strength
is drawn from the Republican party,
and that this enormous preponderance
of Republican sentiment in his ranks
ought to make it easy TO come to some
understanding with the Republicans
who support the party candidate.
These be trying days for the organ. We
suppose that it would either avoid dan
gerous topics or else endeavor to find
out "where it is at" if it were not per-
fectly proof against any disturbance of
it's serenity by such trif1e as half
dozen contradictions of it's own words
in the course of one article.

that the time was coming when the
matter Of the municipal ownership Of

same as the municipal ownership Of

convention spent day at the centen-

ciates by saying that the exposition
was far better than the centennial ex-
position at Philadelphia. The dele

1T TELLS NOTHING.

The straw vote is going to be more
universal and irrepressible nuisance
than it ever was. In past cam
enthusiast who insisted on going
through railroad trains at random
asking all the passengers their political
preferences and announcing the result
as indicative of what the balloting
would declare Of course, such a can
vass had little or no value, and no con-
clusions could be drawn by this method
unless sorle thousands of votes were
taken. Last year an advance was
made upon it by one of the Chicago
papers, which sent out postal cards to
several hundred thousand voters in
various pivotal states, asking them
to sign and return with their choice for
president indicated. Before that, some
newspapers here and there had opened
their columns to an alleged expression
of opinion by the voters as to the choice
worked out further in practice, until
all the principal papers of New York
city are inundating the public today
with statistics of the probable vote for
the different candidates for mayor, and
men are arguing gravely and earnestly
as to what should be done from the
showing of these straw ballots
A canvass such as this must neces-
sarily be indeterminate, and is of prac-
tically little value. Every man ia
miliar with practical politics knows
that the result of an election could
not be foretold if every man was ready
to express a determination even
as late as one week before
election day or to come forward
voluntarily and register his choice
There would still be the balance Of
power unrecorded. This consists OF the
large number of voters who are waver-
ing and do not decide until the last
moment, together with those who, just
before the act of voting, are convinced
by one argument or another and
change their affiliations and convic-
ing to a call for straw vote is, on
the face Of it, so small a portion of the
total voting population that its opinion
cannot be decisive.
Again, it is impossible to put up any
such test with even comparative free
dom from tampering with the returns.
Just as soon as it is known that a.
newspaper canvass is in progress the
friends of the different candidates go
to work to manipulate the vote, and
they are sure to succeed to some ex-
tent Even assuming that the news
paper itself is honest and impartial,
that it directs it's inquiries to voters
at large without selecting them ac-
cording tC its own preferences, and
that it wants to ascertain public opin-
ion, instead of giving its own favorites
a boost, still the returns are open to
so many different kinds of jugglery
that they have very little value. We
will have, however, a perfect epidemic
of straw votes whenever and wherever
an election is to be held, until the fad

ST. PAUL AT NASHVILLE.
How Its Officials Conducted Them
selves at the Convention.

President Copeland and Commission
er Justus, of the board of public works,
who, with City Engineer Rundlett, at
tended the fourth annual convention
of the American Society of Municipal
improvements held at Nashville, Tenn,
last week, returned yesterday The st.
Paul representatives report very
pleasant, as we'll as instructive, trip.
There were 200 delegates in attendance
at the convention and papers were pre-
sented relating to the various matters
pertaining to municipal government.
The discussion following the reading
of the papers was one of the features
of the convention and much valuable
information was disseminated. City
Engineer Rundlett read paper on the
subject of Bicycle Paths" and pre-
pared the report of the committee on
the question of coating iron and
wrought iron pipes" While the con-
vention took no decided stand in the
question of municipal ownership of

THE PUZZLE PICTURE PRIZES.

THE PUZZLE PICTURE PRIZES.
With the two puzzle pictures publish
ed this morning the series of thirty
six, for whose solution a number of
prizes were offered, comes TO a close.
The contest has evoked an almost I'M
paralleled interest. In every house
hold the events supposed to be indicat-
ed are discussed, and the probabilities
of different interpretations are balanc-
ed. The letters of reply have been roll
ing in upon the G o b e by hundreds
and thousands ever since the contest
began. Those who have sent in an
swers hail from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and their names fill special
register made for the purpose. 1t is
this wide participation in our contest
that is the great witness of it's extra
ordinary success. We have decided,
in order to give a perfectly fair oppor-
tunity to those who live at a distance,
to receive solutions Of the prize puzzle
pictures for one week from date. After
Wednesday, Oct. 20, no replies receiv-
ed at this Office will be considered. The
names of the prize winners will be an
nounced in the G 0 b e of the Sunday
following, Oct. "a. And we may add,
for the interest and encouragement of
all, that, so numerous have been the
entries, so eager the contest, so critical
the task, that the event will turn upon
the replies to the last set Of pictures
in many instances, and that all who
have not blundered somewhere eyre
giously have a chance, in the averaging
Of correctness, to win. Look out for
the G o b of Oct. "a and the names
of the successful contestants.

It reminds us of a trite saying made by
ex-President Harrison in a campaign speech
last fall to the effect that 1.-The prospect of
Republican success never disturbed business. "
1t doesn't. Republican success restores conf
dence; confidence makes business possible
and protection gives labor work at remunera-
tive wages.-Zumbrota News.
A very trite saying indeed; worn thread
bare in its constant collision with facts.
Prospects and success of that party always
disturb business for the simple reason that
it's policy is to disturb business and business
knows it.

CAMPAIGN IN IOWA.
War Horse SmalIey Shifts the Battle
From AfaF.

r V. snalley, general secretary of
the National Sound Money league,
leaves for Des Moines tonight to take
part in the Iowa campaign. Ine
league is sending documents into the
stafe and Mr.. Smalley wants to know
hv observation what is the attitude of
tbe canvass and it's probable outcome.
The issue is being made largely on the
free silver question and there are three
tickets in the field, Republican, Bryan
Democratic, and National Democratic.
Mr. Smalley says that the fight thus
far has been waged with home re-
sources. No stumpers Of national rep
utation, except Bryan, have gone into
the state and all the committees report
that it is hard to get people out to
meetings or to raise money for cam
paign expenses.

STILL MAKING CITIZENS.

Judges Bum and Lewis resumed the work
of naturalizing st. Paul's male population
last night at the court house. There were
fewer applicants than the previous even
ing, though the number ran up to 1856. Judge
Bum converted eighty aliens into full-fedged
citizens in the remarkably fast time of fifty
minutes. Judge Lewis granted second papers
to fifty-six.
During the day Judge Bum issued second
papers to 81, which makes a total for the en-
tire day of 2S9 freshly made citizens. There
will be another session of court tonight, but
probably only one judge will sit.

MUCH LIKE REAL WAR.
Hot Shot From Skies Poured Into d
Militia Camp.

New York, July 12.-Lightning STRUCK
the state camp at Peekskill this after
noon, selecting the Y NJ. G. A. tent a;
it's object. One man was killed and many
others were badly hurt. The storm al
Peekskill was terrific one. About 2.3(
this afternoon score or more of the men
had gathered in the Y. M. c. A. tent.
The storm was at it's height. The rain
fell in torrents and the thunder crashed.
Suddenly there was binding flash of
and in a moment the tent was
down and in flames. Almost every man
who had been under the canvas was
shocked by the lightning. Corporal j. j.
Mcdonald of Co. A, 22d regiment, was
dead. Half dozen of the men were I'M
conscious. The body of Col, Mcdonald
was the first taken from the ruins. The
surgeons worked over it for an hour or
more, but their efforts were fruitless.
Those who were knocked unconscious
were revived, some of them only with
great difficulty, and one or two of the
men are still ina serious condition For
a short time the whole camp was in an
uproar and it was feared that the fatali-
ties would number more than one.

STAY RID OF IT.:

1t is so simpIe.to be well that we wonder
why there are so many sick people.
Come to think about it, mus be because
they don't know what's IN ade them sick.
If they knew that, they could prevent il.
and when they were sick, in some cases
cure themselves. But, so long as we don't
take more care of our health we shall al
ways be more or less sick
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means Don't tolerate indiges-
ton. Cure it with Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. A stomach full of undigested, fer
mented, putrid food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think Of
Half our diseases and troubles come from
poisons ofTndigested food. More than h aIf
OF them could be cured with Shaker Diges-

More than half, because often when we

THE TRIP MURDER.
Farther Particulars of the Confession O
Joseph Manchester.

Fall River, Mass, July 12.-Jeremiah
Manchester was arraigned on charge Of
numbering Alonzo Trip in the District
court this morning. In the confession
which Manchester is said to have made
it appears that after the men had drank
together they quarrelled within the city
limits. 1t was finally agreed to settle thu
matter when the border line in Westport
had been passed.
Manchester says that Trip approached
him when they reached the spot where
the fatal assault occurred Manchester
thereupon Jumped ont of his wagon tt
confront Trip on the ground. Just how
the fatal blow was delivered, the polio,

ference that when Trip fell his face wal
crushed under Manchester heel,
Trips body was taken TO Westport to
day by his father to be inferred in tn,

Manchester was self composed as he sat

MOTHERS MISTAKE.
Portland Mothers Make it But With q
Little Light There Need Be None.

How carefully mother guards the Sc
crets of her boys and girls. At night as
she carefully tucks the bed clothes around
them she chides and warns that mother
will be angry if they repeat last nights
offense, softly saying to herself it is only
a habit but / must break them of it.
This is mothers mistake. The children
cannot help it and sweet, clean, dry
beds can be the resting place of every
child when it is understood that this is not
a habit but a weakness that can be cured.
Active life of the little one tends to
weakening the kidneys, and weak kid
neys mean inability to retain the urine
This isa condition, not habit, and
should have the same prompt attention
you would give to the marked symptoms
of any disease. One Doan's Kidney Pill
taken twice day and at bed time will
strengthen the kidneys of child, and in
short time there will be no cause to
scold, for the so-called habit will disap-
pear promptly. Here's grateful mother
Mrs Nellie Dunn, Cor. 18th & Winter
SITS. Ansonia, CT. says: 81 have a
little boy eleven years of age that was
very much troubled with weak kidneys.
When he was six years he would go in
bathing frequently and remain in for q
long time. That was when noticed first
any difficulty with his kidneys but he got
so bad that he would wet the bed every
night. l have taken him up at IL o'clock
but it would occur two or three times
before morning. This caused me any
amount of work and was not strong and
besides | knew it should not be neglected,
yet we got nothing to relieve him.
Finally | read somewhere about Doans
Kidney Pills that they would prevent
such occurrences and l procured them.
They have really been the means of
strengthening the kidneys of the child
and preventing nocturnal urination. /
am very grateful to Doan's Kidney pills
and heartily recommend them to any
mother. They will relieve her of an
enormous amount of work, the child of
so much embarrassment besides perform
ing duty the parent owes the child to
prevent it from growing up with weak
kidneys"
