The New York ELECTION.

Elsewhere will be found some tele-
grams from New York state indicating
the election Of Judge Van Wyck and
tee probable return Of Democratic
legislature, thus insuring the re-elec

ator, Edward Murphy Jr Especially
gratifying news this mast prove to the
Democrats of Minnesota. who, while
they have been wagipg their own fierce
fight, haze not lost sigh5 of the strug-
gle of their Eastern brethren.
Mr.. Croker is terse and to the Ioint.
There is no doubt in his mind about
the result. Senator Murphy, VINO is an
old state campaigner, having begun
his political career under the eye of
Samuel J. Tilden, figures, as all up-the-
state politicians figure, on the major
ity which the Republican candidate
will take to the Harlem (Spuyten Duy-
vii creek, for the state north of the
Harlem is Republican, just as south of
1t it is Democratic. In presidential
years the Republican candidates have
reached the historic water course which
separates Manhattan island from the
mainland with majorities ranging from
10000 to $4,000. Roosevelt, on Senator
Murphy's figures, cannot possibly win.
The lilo b has persisted in this be-
lief from the day he was nominated.
The conclusions of three such expert
enced Democrats as Messrs. Croker,
Murphy and McCarren are most cheer
ing. New York is a Democratic state
beyond a doubt this year
And so will be Minnesota.

FROM BIRTH TO BA1rrLEFIELD.

A child is born-it gasps and cries,
And clasps it's wee fists to it's eyes;
1t stares at those who stand around
And sleeps, a stranger unto care
While she that smiles Ger joys newfound,
Prays for him ere he needs for prayer.
A hundred childish Ills he worries through,
A thousand times his life hangs by thread;
He falls, when there is nothing else to do,
his head
All, who shall say God keeps him not in
sight,
Nor hears the prayers she offers up at night?
Toll and hope and despair
Grieytng and doubling and joy;
Days that were dark ard days that were fair
For those who love the boy
Years that have wearily dragged,
Years that have flown and griefs that have
lagged-lagged-
To make him a man at last
Hark to the summons that comesl
Hear the mercless roll of the drumsl
The man for whom plans were made,
He for whom schemes were laid
Must brush them aside, for somewhere
Somebody has wronged some one
Let the banners wave high In the air
There is soul-stirring work to be donei
Down through the valley and over the slope.
regiment sweeps to the frayi
What Of the prayers, the toll the hope
And the lofty plans of yesterday?
An angry shot,
crimson clot.
And the smiles and tears
OF twenty years
End in lump of lifeless clay.

that is saying great deal, for the enthusiasm
that comes from numbers was not present

nine, but it Is a winning nine, and 1t so won
the favor of it's auditors last night that after
the second act the audience would have gone

Baron Won Hohenstauffen needs no extended
notice. To say that Mr.. Clement hiss i'm
proved since his last appearance here would
be to disparage an occasion pleasant in the
memory Of those who enjoyed his presence;
to say that he has deteriorated would be
unjust. Mr.. Clements performance of his
role is marked by a careful study OF the
minor accessories which made his creation a
success long ago and keeps it fresh and vivi-
flying yet.

Epistes to ST. Paul.

OF course, it is generally understood that
fishing and hunting exploits shall be kept
quiet unless told by the hero, but in this
case the violation will be condoned for the
reason that the joke is too good to keep.
Ed S. Kaye, the broker P. T. Kavanagh,
the auctioneer and Elmer Baylss, the typo,
recently went hunting. They had a good
time and bagged a number OF birds. But
there was one they did not get. This was
Hayes. The bird was gracefully riding the
ripples on Rush lake near a fringe of cat
tails. Kaye, after some labor, found his
way around to that side of the lake, and,
rather than kill the poor thing ahoat, tried
to shoe it into the air as soon as he came
within range. The bird would not pay any
attention to him, however. and finally, IN
sheer evaporation, he blazed away. The
shot fell around the bird like hail storm.
Kavanaghs dog was on the scene In min
ute, shifted the thing and started back.
Kaye waited till the dog was out Of range
and blazed away again. The deg thought
perhaps he had EN-, as the saying is, and
started back to see if he was awake. He
took another sniff at the bird and started
back again. Kaye was mad He had torn
his clothes, those that the tailor and nature
had given him faring equally sadly. nearer
accommodating showed that the shot-riddled
bird was wooden decoy, and the dog wagged
his tail good-naturedy as the aggravated
broker disconsolately found his way out OF
the marsh again.
Broadhurst's "Why Smith Left Home"
company comprises thirteen members, and
they travel around the country like one huge
family. In their lexicon there is no such
word as worry" 1t is one long round Of
play" To look at them individually or
collectively off the stage one would think
that their one mission earth WAS to be
happy. They are always doing something
conducive to this end. For instance, at the
beginning of the season an idea suggested
itself to Marion Giroux and Blanche Chapman
that what the organization needed was yell
"a college cry as 1t were-and now, when
they reach town, this is what rolls cut on
the air from the thirteen Threats with all
the vim of a football team:

this, too, with the added stimulus af-
forded under John Lind's candidacy.
The degree of vulnerability Of Mr.. Eus-
tbs, supplied by his record, was evil
IDENTIFY miscalculated. The unlocked
for non-partisan agitation by the farm
ers against the abuses of the grain in
speet1on system was another innova-
ton wholly unexpected. and the
Wretched manner in which the defense,
begun by Grain Inspector Clausen and
followed by Chairman Ira B. Mills, of
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion, tumbled down precipitated q
panic in the Republican state central
committee. The manifesto issued a
few days ago by that body revealed
the condition Of hysteria that prevailed
there, and the order was sent forth
to cease all defense and attempt to
draw the attention or the weakening
Republicans from state to national is
sues, by starting a cry to the effect
that vote for Lind would be -ote
for Spain and a protestation against
the glory of our victories.
1t is in this condition of puerility,
evasion, cowardice and dishonesty that
the distraught Republican party of
Minnesota, as an organization in the
hands Of hitherto powerful ring,
stands trembling in the approaching
dawn of election morning, and it is in
support of this shifting, untenable and
even hypocritical position that the Re

Churches and Their Work.

The committee having in charge the re-
lgious census of St. Paul, which is to be
taken on Friday Nov. %, are busy at work
arranging the details. They have already
held three meetings and report that the in
terest in the work is increasing in all the
churches. It is purpCsed by the Pastors
union to cooperate with the census commit
tee to see especially that the work is properly
followed up after the data are gathered
The city has been districted into thirty-s,x
districts following the ward and precinct
outlines, there being but two to four pre-
cincts in district. A plat Of each district
has been made, which shows the number of
houses III each block. A chairman, to have
direction of the work in each district. is now
being carefully selected, and each chairman
will need twenty to forty canvassers to do
the work in one day. These canvassers are
to be volunteer workers from the various
riches in the city, numbering about 1000
in all. A plea Is to be sent to each pastor
and superintendent in the course Of a few
days, requesting a certain number from each
church. AS the chairmen are chosen they
will select some Office, church or home in
their district to be the headquarters Of their
work on the day of the canvass. Each of the
volunteer canvassers will be informed where
he is to report for, duty, which in most cases
will be the headquarters nearest his

grand rally of all the people who are to do
this work few days before the canvass.
On the day of the canvass the workers will
meet at their respective headquarters and be
assigned the territory which they are to
cover and a diagram will be given each OF
them so that there can be no possible chance
OF confusion. AS far as possible the can
vassers will befsent cout two by two, of dif-
ferent denominations, to invite the non
church goers to attend church and Sunday
school, and take 81 simple record of each
home, SO that the .hurches intelligently
follow I'D the work. The committee have de-
cided that the following information be gath
cred: The name and address of each family,
nationality, occupation. number in the family
number Of church attendants. number OF
church members, number who attend Sunday
school, the church preference, and, If church
members, Of what local church. When each
canvasser is through with his territory the
blanks are to be returned to the chairmen.

expected will gather their fellow ministers
together and divide them among their
churches as they may deem wise. In this
way the attention of some church will be
called to almost every individual in the city.
