Breen, when Fred Breen succeeds Ed Ba-

rich, when Judge Willrich goes On the dis

There is nothing left but to put Spike"
harrington in line of promotion to be the
next successor of somebody who wants to
succeed somebody else
Oh, yes; there is something else to
DO, and the people will do it, too, when
the Democratic, and not the Repub-
hcan, ticket will receive the popular
Vlndication in November" So, let the
organ be ready for the deluge!

all right with the grafters; but Gaze
sarism, never! Mr. Edmund was
thrown down as candidate for county
treasurer because Caesarism wouldn't
go among these patriotic grafters. And
so was Mr.. Sullivan as a candidate for
county auditor. And Ed Bazille and
Gerhard Wtllrich were exalted for the

Slew in the same manner as Edmund
and Sullivan? or exalted in the same
manner as Bazille and Willrlch? Now,
there's a cOnnundrum for you'll An
sWer 1t If you can. As a parasite.
Wherein did Gates Jr. differ from Ell

rich? And if he did, or does, was it
not difference in degree rather than
in kind?
The deal Is all fixed that Fred Zoll-
man shall succeed himself as the as
sistant to the kindergarten county at
torney when that gentleman is sue
cessfully torn from the embraces Of the
denizens of the Fifth ward flats, and

Well, Fred is a good fellow. What in
the world the office of county attorney
would have-or, perhaps, more prop
erly, would not have-done without
him during the two eventful years that
are now drawing to a close, heaven

should be elected, how would the rec
ord of the next two years compare with
the record of the past two years? Let
us see.
Sam Anderson was something of a
lawyer when he was elected. At least
he had some Of the experience of a
lawyer, even if his experience had not
been an Over-stern monitor with him.
He is something of a talker, moreover.
He may not have been exactly correct
when he stated to an admiring friend
once: 81 want you to understand -,
that I can make as eloquent and as
satirical a speech as any man in ST
Paul." but he can make a little talk
quite cievery. Even mis- much Horace
cannot do, except when he strikes his
favorite theme Of the yellow deg
Now, when Sam was at the head Of
the county attorneys Office, we had a
few causes celebres. Among others we
had the prosecutions of Bickle Jr., of
the Dawsons, of Albert Scheffer. Of the
Lambert lake mystery, of Mary Du-
puts, for matricide, and OF Mrs. Var
rell, for murder. And the court house
was filled with smoke as the result of
these cases. Now, how much better
can we expect an attorney Ike Bigelow
to do? 1t is almost distre ssing to con-
template the strain that will be brou, hit
to bear on Fred Zollman's intelleotuals
i'll case such a calamity should over
whelm this much-endurfng county. =
