not been known here since Edward Rice ran
for congress In 1885,
None But Democrats on Guard.

There are forty Democrats in Chi
Cages new city council, twenty-five Re
publicans and six Independents-and
these six Independents are partially
Democratic in their get-up-so that
Mayor Carter Harrison will have q
two-thirds majority of the council. if
all the Democrats pull together. If the
six Independents move off on their own
orbit, then the mayor will still have
with him a majority of the council.
Four of the good Republican editors
of Chicago advised their readers to
vote for most of these Democrats. the
Republican nominees being Of kind
which they themselves could not con-
Scientiously support. 1t is, of course,
impossible to determine whether the
advice of these four good editors con-
tributed much or little to the election Of
these Democratic councilmen. There
will be differences of opinion on this
point; but we are inclined to believe
that the support could not have
amounted to very much. basing our
impression somewhat upon what hap
pened in New York last November,
when all the good newspaper editors
of that town advised all their readers
to vote against the bad Democratic
ticket-and the ticket was elected from
top to bottom.
However, these four newspaper ed
itors now boldly demand that the DEM
ocrats shall organize the council on
non-partisan basis; that is to say. Re-
publicans shall be put on a par with
Democrats in all things, notwithStand-
ing the voters of the city distinctly re-
pudiated the Republicans as whole
when they went to the polls Tuesday.
1t has been considered funny to pic
ture the Democracy as a particularly
long cared ass. If these Democratic
councilmen should heed their newspa-
per advisers, they would, indeed, be
entitled to the contumely that is gem
orally associated with a donkey. No,
the proper thing to do is to put none
but Democrats on guard. This is a
Democratic year.

GA Scatfling Indictment -

Eight years ago a Republican CITY
convention named Always Reaching
h1efer as its candidate for mayor.
The st. Paul Dispatch, with what IFS
morning contemporary of the same kid
hey called charming candor," thus
commented upon the convention and
the element that controlled it:
The convention was practically in tho
hands of the young Republicans who accsnt
as leaders such men as Messrs. Johns
Reese. Mcdonald, Lowenstein and burger
ana the manner in which the imDortant
business of the day was discharged saamoG
quite. acceptable to those who were in con-
troll III eoh-
Than this, the Pioneer Press said.
"A more scathirg indictment could not
be put into words"
As one runs over the record of +bo
proceedings Of Wednesdays convention
the same names appear as leaders of
TINS latest convention that again
transacted "the important business of
the day. by again naming tbe sano
man for the same place, work that
however acceptable to those who vera
in control" will again meet the san,a
emphatic rejection it did eight wears
ago.

No Response.

A deathlike stiffness has fallen upon
two certain newspaper Offices in the
Northwest, to wit, 1.-The Medford (Wis)
Sentinel and the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The editor of the former put in circula-
ton this statement
The st. Paul Pioneer Press has three
private wires leading from New York to its
editorial rooms in st. Paul.
Thereupon the editor of the Pioneer
Press reprinted the paragraph in large
type on it's front page, thereby giving
currency to the allegation and inviting
a confiding constituency to believe in
its truthfulness. The G o b e natural
ly supposed that the two editors knew
what they were talking about; but,
possessing its share of that incredulity
that fingers around every newspaper
office. it yearned for the actual facts.
1t therefore offered to contribute 500
to any charitable purpose that might
be designated by the Wisconsin editor,
provided that gentleman would prove
that there is even one private wire
leading from New York to the editorial
rooms of the Pioneer Press.
This, curiously enough, evoked no
Paul. Under the impression that some
body or other somewhere within or
without Minnesota and Wisconsin
| might possess some evidence in cor
| roboration Of the allegation, a reward
| of 500 was offered by The G o b e
| for the production of the necessary
| witness or of any documentary evil
dence tending to support the Senti-
ners statement.
! So busy are editors these days in
assisting Mr.. Mckinley in his strug-
| gle with Spain and his peace-at-any-
price advisers that we suppose a mat
! ter involving a newspapers veracity
and good faith toward it's readers is
likely to be considered small and un-
worthy of attention.
| Money talks, it is true, but not al
ways to an enthusiastic audience, as in
this case-for we have heard no re-
Spouse.
| The readers of the Pioneer Press are
entitied TO exact knowledge upon this
subject. 1t makes a great deal of diff.
ference to them whether their morn.
| ing's news is served red-hot, like thei,
| buckWheats, over three private wires
leading to the editorial room of thei,
faVor1te newspaper, or whether II is
! pushed in the ordinary way over the
| Ordinary wires at the ordinary press
rates. Must they be compelled to wall
much longer?
Mckinley can be trusted to hold the
Cuban question in allegiance until Vol
have settled this three private wire
problem. Speak up, gentlemen. The
money is yours when you have proved
your case.

SEARCH FOR DIAMONDS.
Ashes of n Burned Club House Are
BEING Sifted Handful at q


NEW YORK, April S.-A handful at
a time, the ashes of the Long Island
Country club which burned on Sun
day, are being sifted by experts, in the
hope of recovering at least small
part of $4,000 worth of diamonds that
were in the house when the fire start
ed.
The men are working with the strict
est scrutiny under instructions from
Mrs. Robert Roosevelt, whose husband
is a wealthy member Of the club.
While nearly every one of the forty
members living in the club house lost
diamonds, Mrs. Roosevelt suffered more
severely than any of them.
In her husbands room was trunk
which contained, among other articles,
a Jewel case, in which were diamonds
and other stones valued at $4,000 When
the house burned the trunk vanished
utterly from sight, reduced to fine
ashes.
A lapidary, upon being consulted by
Mrs. Roosevelt, told her that the
stones, If recovered, would be only
slightly impaired, though the settings,
of course, would be melted, so she at
once set about making systematic
search for the gems. Men were sent
from New York and put to work sift-
ing every handful of the ashes, tedi-
Gus task, but one not altogether unsuc-
cessful, for two diamonds have been
recovered.

A Little Business In "Gayest Man,
haitian" That Harley Didn't
Wrfte

Miss McIImoyIe, who plays the soubrette
parts In John F. Harley's "Gayest Manhat-
TAM" at the Grand this week, is hardly the
ideal soubrette off the stage.
She is rather the personifcation of a very
much up-to-date college girl. Her attire is
natty and correct, her manner and carriage
express everything in the way of good breed
over a row Of the evenest and whitest of
teeth, and gives her square, plump chin a
ina final settle into her linen collar, there is
which has placed her in just three short years
In the position in the theatrical world she now
occupies.
Miss McIlmoyle is native of Peterboro.
Canada. and made her debut as chorus girl
in Denver, where she was engaged in voice
culture three years ago. Her first engage
ment was with Mr.. John Harley, who Is her
present manager and who at that time was
playing the Fencing Master"
MISS Mc!lmoyle has only played small roles
till recently. Her speciality has been boys
parts, and this is the part she was playing
with the present company till three weeks
ago in Chicago, when the place she is now
ming was made vacant. She was very
backward in assuming SO important part
but her manager had more faith in her ability
than she herself had, and her success has
justified his judgment.
Miss McIlmoyle was seen by a reporter for
The G o b e yesterday at the Metropolitan
hotel. and said:
No, I have nothing remarkable to tell
about myself. l have never done anything
of note, and am not even going to be mar
ried. 1 do not come from a theatrical family.
| have not relative In the world who has
been in the profession. Only one sister
younger than myself. who is doing chorus
parts. 1 am just doing the best can to ad-
vance in my profession.
Il like the boys parts best and have found
my present work somewhat hard to become
accustomed to. The skirts bother me. You
cannot imagine how hard it is to get used
to them
Miss McIlmoyle is modest even on the
stage. An incident occurred at the perform
ance Friday night, which shows she is par
ticular, although the young lady was sur
prised that 1t had been noticed when 1t was
recalled to her attention yesterday afternoon.
In the song of the Wedding Of the Chinese
and the Coon After second encore the
coon" attempted to rub his burnt cork check
against the little Chinese lady's cheek. She
drew herself away and left the stage. 1t was
just at the conclusion of the verse, which
made it less noticeable. When questioned
about the incident, Miss McIlmoyle said:
Eyes, 1 a bit put out last night
though 1 had not supposed any one noticed
it. In the song. The Wedding CT the Chinese
and the Coon the gentleman with whom I
sing is supposed to black my face. This is
in the encore, and l do not mind, but last
night he was very familiar. 1t tinged too
much on the variety line, and 1 resented it.
told him later that 1 did not like it and
spoke to the stage manager and he promised
me there should not be anything CT the kind
happen again. %
