Those Thre, Private Wires.

The Pioneer Press recently printed
conspicuously on it's front page the fol-
lowing, copied from one of it's admir-
ing contemporaries, the Medford wis
Sentinel:
vate wires leading from New York to it's
editorial rooms in St. Paul.
So confident was The G o b that no
such extraordinary wire service is rem
dered that it offered to submit the mat
ter to arbitration, agreeing to forfeit
certain sums of money to any charity
to be named by the editor of the Sen
tinel, in the event Of that gentleman's
proving his case to the satisfaction of
three wise and discreet arbitrator.
We have heard nothing from the edi-
tor of the Sentinel In fact we have
offered to give him month in which
to turn around, to take the trip East,
if necessary, to examine infinitely those
internal arrangements of the Press
building which enable three private
wires to be led from New York to the
Press editorial rooms.
Meanwhile, in the hope of eXpediting
his labors, of contributing to the vol
une of his evidence, of doing unto him
as we would have others do to US Gf
we were caught in a similar fix), we
offer the following reward:
S1C9 REWARD-A reward of $500 will be
paid by The C o b to whoever will name
a single witness or produce scrap of evil
dence tending to show that three private
wires, or two private wires, or even one
private wire, leads from New York to the
editorial rooms of the Pioneer Press of st.
Paul.
The truth is essential in this mat
ter. Perhaps the editor of the Senti-
mel can persuade the editor of the
Pioneer Press to allow himself to be
produced as a witness. In that event
it would be Tery easy to get at the
truth without any loss of time, and
the two editors might divide between
them the amount of the reward The
sum of $500 Will buy two very natty

spun clothes. Here is an opportunity

Swinging Back Into Line.

st. Paul Democrats may we'll feel
that things are coming our way this
year. Democratic success is in the
air, and, now and then. as opportunity
opens. it descends upon some city and
sweeps everything before it,
The latest to get back into line, after
having gone wandering off among the
thorny paths of Republican admins
tration for six years, is the goedly city
of Milwaukee. Two years ago Rauden-
busch, Republican, was elected mayor
by plurality of over 5000, to succeed
Republican who had gone in by a
large plurality. This year Rose, DEM
ocrat. after a hot campaign, in which
he was the target for all the mud that
could be gathered by eager hands, is
elected mayor by plurality of over
5000; a Republican plurality of over
5000 turned into a Democratic plural
ity of over 5000, and majority of over
6,000 in two years.
A short time ago Indianapolis, that
went for Mckinley with a rush, elected
Taggart, Democrat, for mayor New
York city yields her government to a
reunited Democracy. Boston returns
Quincy to the mayors chair in spite
of the Irwin there who beloved the
same roars which are now being
dinned into our ears. When the bal
lots were counted, that champion of
the people" did not muster enough to
form the basis of an affidavit that he
was in the race at all.
The cause of these changes is vari-
ously explained, but the one sufficient
one is the same that will work victory
for the Democratic ticket here, disgust
with the outcome of experimentation
with Republican methods and ideas of
municipal government. Intense dissat-
isfaction with the national administra-
ton, its plentitude Of promise and
paucity Of performance, although I'm
related to city government, had it's in
fluence. supplementing municipal fail
ures and warranting the conviction
that no good whatever can come out
of the Nazareth of Republicanism.
Let us get together and duplicate, in
ST. Paul in May, the victory won by
Democrats in Milwaukee in April.
