FOOLED AND BUNCoED.-Says the
Springfield, Mass, Republican, refer
ring to the recent Democratic vic.
tory In Chicago:
What Chicago has experienced
since November the whole country
has in some degree experienced
There has been disappointment over
the material effects of the November
victory. There has been anger at
the disposition of the new govern
ment at Washington to wrap itself
up in the cast-otf rags of extreme
tariff. There has been an impression
with many people who do not study
conditions deeply that they were
fooled and buncoed in the Novem-
Der crisis. The masses in the city of
Chicago have now shown how they
are feeling about the matter. Very
plainly the day has not been saved
by continuing to point with satisfac-
tion to the vote of last November. :"

been fed very beautifully for years
at the Democratic rack, and, seeing
nothing further in sight, went over

Failing in his effort TO secure re-
election to the Judgeship of the
Criminal Court of Kanawha, to
which office the Democrats had
elected him, he was in Washington
last week seeking foreign appoint
ment from Mckinley.
"HANE No SIGNIFICANCE."- Our
Republican friends see no signifi-
canoe at all in the splendid victories
of the Democracy in the municipal
elections held last week in Ohio, H.
linois and Michigan. But to our
mind, making all due allowance for
the operation of local causes, the re.
suit of these elections indicates quite
clearly that the people have los,
faith in the coming of that era OF
prosperity promised with the elec.
ton of the apostle of high protec.
ton pledged to the maintenance OF
the gold standard.

TIE TARIFF IN THE SENATE
The Dingley tariff bill is still before
the Senate Finance Committee and
probably will be for some time to
come. The Senators don't propose
to be hurried in their consideration
of the measure, but will give it a
thorough and critical examination,
probably amending it in many par
ticulars and cutting down the rates
fixed by the House where there was
little or no consideration of the vari-
Gus schedules. When the bill is re-
ported to the Senate, the Democrats
will insist upon n thorough discus
sion of it to the end that the people
may understand fully the character
OF the measure the Republics pro-
pose to pass. There will be no Oh.
position to its final passage if the
Republicans can bring majority of
the Senate to its support.

THE HOUSE IDLING.-The House
OF Representatives having performed
its part in carrying out the party
program, that is to say, haying
passed a tariff bill and the appropria-
ton bills which failed in the last
Congress, is now holding its hands
in absolute idleness, waiting to see
what the Senate will do with the tar
iff bill. Mr.. Reed has so far de-
Clincd to appoint the usual commit
tees, and thus no business can be
done. Last week when Jerry Simp.
son, of Kansas, complained Of the
inaCtiOn Of the House and Of the
Speaker in failing to appoint the
committees, MIR. Reed quietly told
him that he was simply carrying out
the wishes of the majority. II they
wanted the committees appointed
they had simply to say 50. The
Democrats being somewhat divided

Shot from a CrOssbow.

The human arrow, or Alao, as she is

Greatest Show on Earth is one of the
wonders of the century. This remark
able clever and courageous young
lady permits herself to be hurled
from the gigantic arms of a Roman
crossbow away up into the air, where
she is caught by the hands of her sis.
ter, who hangs head downward from
a trapeze. In her perilous flight she
strikes target, head first, and goes
clear through it by the force with
which she is shot into the air. 1t is
a most wonderful performance, clev.
erly and startingly executed, demand
ing both great nerve and the incest
calculation, as the smallest defect
in the apparatus or the sighting OF
the crossbow would be attended with
serious consequences. 1t is one OF
the many new and marvellous feats tC
be seen this year in the show that
comes here on an early date.

IMPROVE THE ROADS.

The policy of the city and county
uniting to improve the main travelled
roads out of the city should be con-
tinued this season. Much good work
was done last year and it should not
be allowed 30 drop. The Eagle Lake
road should be improved further out
into the country, and the Mapleton
road should receive some attention.
The Silver ravine road is so narrow as
to be dangerous in places, and some
work ought to be done there in widen
ing it. Something should be done
every year on these main county
roads, and it will not be long before
Blue Earth county roads are un-
eXcelled.

Wholesalers report that the volume of

The continued subsistence of the
