Senator Pettigrew is conducting d single handed fight in South Dakota for reelection to the senate, says d correspondent of the Washing ton Post. He is running his campaign in- dependent of the democratic state committee and is making a magniii- cent demOnstra tiOn. He has his head quarters in Sioux Falls, only few doors distant from the democratic headquarters but in different build ing. There are 20 visitors at the Pet tlgrew headquarters to one at the democratic offices. He has barrel on tap and is spending money like water. The senator is not rated as a rich man by any means, and great curiosity is felt as to where his funds come from. The prevailing behef is that Marcus DalN supplies the bulk or the cash, in pursuance uf an under standing reached in Washington last winter, when Pettgrew contracted to lead the anti-Clark fight in the senate. Daly is heavily interested in the Black Hills mining property and has a legitimate excuse for helping Petti- grew. Chairman Hanna is very anXi- ouS to see Pettigrew defeated and is giving every possible assistance to the republican committee.

EX-President Harrison has at last broken silence by saying he hasn't any doubt of the reelection of PreSi- dent Mckinley. He, however, quail fled the statement by saying, Nearly all l have read and heard has been pretty much on one side, and perhaps on that account my judgment may be of little importance.

Chas. NJ. Pepper, special correspond ent of the New York Herald, says that Indiana is politically uncertain, although a perusal of his letter shows that the changes and conditions in many parts of the state are favorable to democratic success. The gold dem Ocrats are the most important factor. they cast 2l00 votes for Palmer and Buckner, and the common estimate is that ,000 of them voted for McKin- ley in 1896. MT. Pepper thinks that at least One-half of them are going back ty their party. Germans are still the most doubtful class, as a class, in Indiana. In republican communities, such as Indianapolis, most Of them who supported Mckinley four years ago are with him in this campaign In localities where German democrats were in the majority, such as Evans vile and Fort Wayne, their tendency t0 become democrats again is plain. Yet q large number of Indiana Ger mans are slow in making up their minds. They are balancing their dis trust of Mckinley'S foreign policies against their dlStrustO Bryan,s iinan- cial theories. This class is impatient when quizzed, and the poll takers of both parties can get no indication of their political intentions. It has been an unsettled query how far the differ enceS of republicans among them selves will affect the canvass. Not withstanding the statements of the party leaders. the wounds caused by the Porto Rican legislation have not entirely healed. Republicans are apOlOgetlc on that subject. Then there are the personal differences of party leaders. Gov. Mount is at open variance with the various other leading men of the party. and espec- ially with the state central committee Although Gov. Mount is at personal variance with other republicans, his chief pOlnt of difference is regarding the trusts. He insists that the trusts are an issue, and as he cannot be ta- ken out of the campaign, his speeches are read with interest and apprehen- sion. The governor is right in his contention. Everywhere the people want to hear about trusts, and that subject is becoming the paramount issue. The determining influence in Indiana will be the very large number of voters who refuse to express their political opinions.

That Boy of Miue.

He's rosy as the summer sky
 At the dawning of the day; His little ''gOo-gooS" signify
 The things that he would say. He's innocent Of all desire
 In babyland to shine, And yet the neighbors all admire
 That little boy of mine. Like many other baby boys
 He dearly loves a row, And oft l wish he'd stop his noise,
 And smooth his troubled brow. But when his little eyes are dry
 Where tiny sparkles shine The wealth of Klonuike would not buy
 That little boy of mine. His faults are tew-if faults they be-
 l tell them in joke To visitors, but generally
 Feel sorry that spoke. For ere they have chance to laugh
 His grandma cries, "Why, Joe. T tA Aiotb At Aii'IN utlot pN Idll
 Some thirty years ago. " Then as we lay him down to rest
 In chiidhOods snowy bands, And fold upon his little breast
 His chubby little hands; In pure and perfect innocence
 He looks almost devine- The sweetest gift of Providence
 Is that wee boy of mine. Peter Grant. in the Chicago Record

The Baltimore Sun relates an inter eSting story of the assessment made by Senator Hanna upon the national banks of Baltimore. According to the story, the amount demanded of the clearing house association was SS0,000. and after d rather stormy meeting of the association a resolu- tiOn was passed agreeing to pay the money, and apportiOning the assess mentS pro rata among the various banks. When the directors of one of the banks met tO authorize the pay ment of it's amount. one of the board asked if the money was to Oe divided equally between the republican and democratic parties, When answered that it. was tO go exclusively tO the republican committee and that the expenditure was necessary for the banks welfare, the director replied that he did not believe the board had the legal right tO appropriate the money Of the stockholders for polit- ical purposes. His protest, coupled with threat to take the matter into court through the medium of an in- junction, was emphatic enough to prevent any action on the part of the bank. According to the Sun, how
 ever, a very large proportion of the sS0,0OO, has been paid, and is Co be used to carry Maryland for Mckinley.

Private advIces from New York re- publican headquarters indicate that Connecticut and New Jersey are re- garded as doubtful states, says the Washington Post. This is another very remarkable admission on the part of the republican managers. In 1896 Connecticut gave nearly 5000 majority for Mckinley and New Jer- sey nearly S0,OOO. Connecticut and New Jersey doubtful states: this is news, indeed.
