definite and comparatively secure ascent after
twenty six years of constant effort. Jacques

to ascend the summit of the hitherto unacces-

Hitherto the ascent has cost in the neighbor-

Mont Blanc will probably cost less. When

HAVING FUN WITH SMITH.
Russell Sage's Agent Is the Butt of

Maj. ]. M. Bowler, union candidate for
from his campaigning tour of the northern
part of the state. He reports excellent, even
big meetings at nearly all points, and that
there is no apathy among the union forces
however much the other fellows appear to
have been struck with dry rot. While adj
Vocat!ng the whole union ticket from top to-
bottom the major has had any amount of fun
with his opponent, Lyndon A Smith, espe-
cialiy since the disclosures of his connection
with the Hastings & Dakota land grant mat
Smith, has received very proper attention at
the hands of other speakers as we'll as Maj.
Bowler.
Apropos of Smiths qualifications for the
duties of lieutenant governor and presiding
officer of the senate, it is the understanding
that he has none whatever, except that he is
a smooth lawyer and, as in the Russell Sage
case, good corporation agent. He has had
no legislative experience whaJever. Mai.
Bowler. on the ether hand, has had large
| experience in parliamentary practice be-
sides being in full sympathy with the sort OF
legislation that the fusion forces are com
mitted to. With Maj. Bowler presiding over
the senate and appointing the legislative COM
mittees, there will be no monkey business al
that end of the state capitol.
Besides, while the subject of the old sol
diers interests in this campaign is so promi-
nent. it should be remembered that Maj.
Bowler served nearly five years in the Union
army.
Maj. Bowler's appointments for this week

Spnin's Naval Strength.

In order that timid sonls may not
be nnduely perturbed by the stories
that are printed In the daily papers
concerning the very powerful ships of
the Spanish navy, it is well, perhaps
to SAY that the Spanish navy 10 not
more than one-third as powerful as
n own, and is probably not more
than o~ne-tenth as effective. The
power II navies cannot be judged &C
curately by comparing lists Of ships
and ornaments. The condition Of
the ships and guns must be reckoned
with, and, while the American ships
are always in first class order, Span
ish ships rarely are. There is the AL
fonso XII, for instance, counted
among the Spanish fleet Of effective
vessels. As a matter o: fact her
boilers are in such condition that she
cannot move. The relative effect
iveness Of navies depends upon Of
hcers and crews-upon the human
equation-and in that respect the
American navy is as good as any in
the world, and the Spanish navy is
