Another fellow who never did anything for
candidate in his life, but who manages to
prosper during q campaign, tried to break
into Sheriff Wageners office Wednesday A
friend of the sheriffs caught the fellow out
s dc. The friend noticed that he took a
button out of his coat as he got into the
corridor. He engaged him in conversation
and patted him on the shoulder-and while
he was doing it he fastened an Irish button
on him. Then he chased him into the sheriff )
Office. He began his tale Of woe and he
wanted two and half. John let him tell
all he could and then asked him:
What are you wearing the Irish button
for?''
He sneaked out.

The county attorney has given it as
his opinion that the Democrats OF
Ramsey county have no right to a place
on the official ballot except by petition.
The opinion is not much likely to af-
feet the peace of mind of the Demo-
Gratis or their candidates. One does not
have to strain his memory to go back
to time when the county attorney
gave opinions in other directions that
were not sustained by the courts. In
fact, the opinions given by the county
attorney since the time when he was
elected by the Republicans to his Office
have been so far wrong that they may
rather be classed as guesses than oplr-
ions. The county attorney is guessing
again.

Ghosts That Bother Tawney.

If Jim Tawney could only live down
the record he made in advancing the
interests of the lumber barons and tax
ing the farmers of his own community
to the extent Of 81 a thou
sand for the lumber they have
to use in building, he would
give something. Another ghost that
troubles his sleep just now is the Of
ficeseeker who was turned down. He
made promises that no man on earth
could have kept, in his last campaign.
Those made previous to that were car
rled over because he could do nothing
in the face of a Democratic admins
tratiOn. But, when he went in and
promised every postOffice in the district
to at least five men and then was as
tOnished by finding that the postoffices
were his for distribution, his sins be-
gan to find him out. So it happens that
he is going about his district lodging
men who had offices promised them and
other men who want to know why he
should be so anxious to add 81 to the
price of lumber that they have to buy.
These conditions make things easy
in the First district for Milo White.
He is known to every voter in the dis
trict as very capable man and one
who would have the best interests of
his district at heart. And he knows, no
man better, what the needs Of the First
are. The progress of the campaign in
that district is commended to the con-
sheraton of those Republicans who are
still in doubt as to whether there are
going to be reverses for the Republican
party in some Of the congressional dis
trictS Of this state this fall

movement looking to this end and in
vites the powers to take part in an in
conference as means of
thus insuring real and lasting peace
and terminating the progressive in
crease of armament
Believed to lie Too stupendous.
Washington Aug. 80. The universal
peace plan of Car Nicholas, and his
suggestions that all the powers hold
an international conference to discuss
it, are literally commented on in the
departments. In the war department,
the outlined scheme of the czar is be-
lieved to be too stupendous for any
active realization in the near future.
such plan, so great in all its pro-
portions and far-reaching in its
effects" said Adjt. Gen. Corbin,
might be carried out in the course of
a quarter of a century of discussion,
but not earlier. All the world would
be glad of universal peace except a
few of the reigning monarchs Of
Europe who are too unsteady on their
thrones TO desire lasting peace. 1t is
only by the imminence of war with
other nations that they retain power
over their own. This is the one in
superable obstacle in the way of uni
versal peace"
1t Is believed that the victory
achieved by the United States in the
late war with Spain was contribut-
ing factor in the preparation of the
note, 1t is surmised that that victory
made it clear at once TO the European
statesmen that TO maintain the bal
ance Of power they would be obliged
TO redouble their expenditures on ac-
count of army and navy, else they
must be outstripped oy che United
States.
The official mind here looks upon
the Russian project for general dis
armament as too utopian at this time,
and while any statement as to the at.
titude of the United States toward
such conference as that proposed is
purely conjectural in advance of the
receipt of the invitation, the impress
sion prevails that our government
would not care TO take any active part
In its deliberations.
London Regards 1t "a an ImpossibiIity.
London, Aug. S0.-The papers are
filed with discussions, comments and
opinions as to the circular OF Emperor
Nicholas. The most Notwithstanding

such a coup as this suggestion, the

Berlin, Aug. 30-The North German

peace conference proposals, remarks;
g "0ur ornaments were never intended

trial to another method OF attaining
the object at smaller cost"
France Distrusts the scheme.
Paris, Aug. S0.-The French news.

clearly indicate that France would
