The Sioux City Journal wisely re-
marks that the Democratic news
papers should not indulge in too many
pyrotechnics over the recent victory
In the Eighth Missouri district. While
Judge Shackleford, the Democratic
candidate, was elected by about the
same plurality given Bland last year,
1t is nevertheless fact that his total
vote in the recent election shows a
falling off of about 1000 from the
figures Of last year, this in the face Of
the very best hustling that the Demo-
cratic state machinery experts could
do TO bring out the full vote. The de-
crease in the Democratic vote in that
district since the election of 1896
amounts to more than 1850. II the
Democrats can find anything to brag
about in these figures they are well
come to make the most of it.

library,.and otherwise Gripping its &C.
commodations. The library is a factor
of our city that should progress, not
retrograde. True, the item of rent
would be saved if it were removed to
the city hall building, but this would
be nothing gained, if the library is Grip
pied, as it would certainly be in the
smaller quarters. Whenever the library
is removed from its present location it
should be to roomier quarters, where
still better accommodations can be
given the public What the council
ought to do, instead of removing to
smaller rooms. is to make the levy for
library purposes up to the full one mill
provided by law, and this would give
the library the ample funds it should
have to provide for the growing needs
of the public. re

The correspondents are simply dumb
founded over the fact that Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, who recently re-
turned from visit to the Philippines,
won't talk about his visit. He seems to
be profiting by the mistakes of those
who haye been talking too much about
the conduct of the war and the policy
of the administration, things they knew
little about. But its paralyzing to the
quill pushers to find man who has OBJ
tanned personal knowledge of the far
east and won't give it away in column
chunks.

The state fair this year year was
been a grand success. The weather
was fine land the attendance was
extremely large. BY the time
the fair was half over, it is said to
have passed the mark for last year, in
point of attendance and receipts, and
by last Saturday night it surpassed
anything ever known in the state.
The display of exhibits were fine, and
of great credit to the state. There is
no question but that Minnesota has
fairly outdone herself this year In the
fair, and the fair managers are en-
titled to much credit for the work
they have done. aH
