rho Genial Drummer.

The drummerso of this fair land who
drummed for Mckinley SO persist
emily in 1896 are wondering why
they were ever born, since 10000
of them have been retired in conse-
quence of the great Trust move
ment, whose object is to centralize
the money power and crush compe-
tition. We all remember how
steadily they drummed into the
ears of long. suffering public the
praise of the Republican candidate
and the glory of the protective
tariff. But now are their drums
busted, and the remnant of them
are getting loud in denunciation of
Republican rule and of it's logical
result-the trusts. The ranks of
that remnant are thinning fast, and
at the present rate, soon there will
be another pathetic story to be told
rivalling the "Last of the Mohe-
gans." Who will cheer our coun-
try firesides then2 These knights
of the drum are as absolutely essen
tial to the gayety of the country as
the minstrel show and the circus,
for do they not bring from the
treasury of their memories jokes
and stories both new and old, and
enohance the gayety of the nation
with them. If the Republican
trusts accomplish their full purpose
they will Danish many pleasant
things, prominent among which
will be our genial friend, the
drummer.

a Tribute to Our Lawyers.

No government or people have
devoted themselves with greater
ardor to the study of the theory of
arbitration than tho government
and people of the United States.
The Americans not only possess
great lawyers, but they are com
munity in which the knowledge of
legal principles is perhaps more
widely spread than in any other.
American jurists have done much
to mold the doctrines of interna-
tional law in the past, and in their
treatment of large questions they
have often displayed a luminous
insight, firm grasp of fundamen-
tai principles and solid erudition
unsurpassed by the writer's of any
modern state.-London Truth.

Thousands of Trains.

OF the thousands Of passenger
trains which arrived and departed
over the ten lines running into the
ST. Paul Union depot during the past
year, % per cent of them we're opera
ted by the North Western Line,
G. st. p, M. & o. railway while the
company coming next had less than
IA per cent.
The great speed and security with
which this large number OF trains
were handled by the North-W Western
Line, comes as result from the fact
that they have more miles of road
equipped with the ''block signal sys-
tenn" than has any other line enter
ing the Twin Cities. The North
Western Limited" is the finest train
in the world. There are many little
features possessed by it that are TO
be found in no other trains, notably,
the electric lighting effects, etc.,
which all go towards making it so
comfortable.

her aims, and her ambitions are far
more stupendous than people in this
country have any idea of. She
dreams of the time when she will
dominate not only the whole of China.
but India, Persia, and Turkey as we'll.
The building of the great Siberian
railway IS nothing but scheme OF
conquest. Russia courts the friend
ship of the United States, because
she fears that when the invitable con
fiict between the Slav and the Briton
comes on, the United States may side
with the mother country. Down in
their hearts the Russians care no more
for us than they do for the English
and whenever they think the hour is
ripe, they will push us aside in the
Orient, just as ruthlessly as they will

cry raised about dishonesty in the

than any one thing to elect John

proved conclusivly that there are a

better. Clausen's removal will please

ELIhU ROOT.

The resignation of Mr.. Alger as
Secretary of War took effect
on August l, and his successor,
Eihu Root, of New York, has
already taken up his new duties. Mr..
Root was suggested as desirable
man for the position of ambassador
to England when Mr.. Choate was
appointed, and New York Republi-
cans generally approve of his selec-
ton as the head of the war depart
ment. Mr.. Root has been a well
known attorney in New York since
his connection with the Tweed case
in 1873. He was born at Clinton,
Oneida county, New York, February
Is, 1S45. He graduated from Hamil-
ton College in 1864, and entered The,
New York Law School. He was, adj.
mitted to the bar in 1867, and has
since practiced in the metropolis.
For number of years he was presi-
dent of the New York bar association,
and alno vice president of the Grant
monument association. At present
he is president of the Union League
Club. Mr.. Root has built a legal
practice which now amounts to $780,
600 year. He has been connected
with many notable cases, and is con-
sidered one of the best of New York's
great lawyes 8. In politics he has
been what New York calls a. Reform
Republican, and is close friend to
Governor Roosevelt, being one Of his
most valued counsellors. There is
excellent reason to hope that with
his marked ability he will be able to
conduct the affairs of the war depart
ment to the satisfaction of the people
of the country.
