A GREAT MODERN DAILY,

The greatest feat OF modern civiliza-
ton is the modern newspaper.
This thought comes to mind almost
every day as we take from it's wrapper
The Minneapolis Tribune. It is sim
ply astounding how much in the way
of information and fact. as we'll as in
cent-new and fresh every day.
There is something to be said about
The Tribune which probably is I'M
true of any other Twin City daily 1t
is consistently and persistently Re-
publican. The Tribune never goes off
after false gods nor do the flesh pots Of
Office or the allurements of gain ever
sWerve it from it's support of the right.
At the same time, it is modest in it's
efforts to shape party policy and the
selection of candidates for office.
All this may be understood, how
ever, from the fact that The Tribune
is in no sense an organ; it is news
paper-with the accent upon the news.
No doubt this accounts for it's over
topping circulation. When a paper in
Minnesota averages for an entire year
over $4,000 circulation, as the Tribune
did (50,185 for the year ending March
Il, 1900, it is going to more people,
considering the number of people
within It's field, than any paper we
know of.
There are more kinds of people in
interested in the dog in
The Tribune's daily cartoon than in
any other one daily creation. These
cartoons are inimitably funny, and at
the same time full of good sense. They
drive home witty thrust when
whole column of editorial might glance
off ineffective.
The Tribune has recently moved into
it's new marble front building, of which
it is justly proud. It's equipment is
said to be without exception the finest
and most up-to-date in America. No
money. has been spared to make it so
and the paper tells on it's face that it
is the product not only of the best
mechanical facilities, but the best
newspaper brains and character in the
Northwest.
We feel like saying to others "Toe
the mark with The Minneapolis
Tribune"
lTALY'S DOWAGER QUEEN.
Fond of splendor but Woman of the
World.
This is recent description of Queen
.Margherita of Italy in The King: "She
is not only acquainted with all the Ian
guages of the continent, but is familiar
with them and enjoys their litera-
lures. She is not only clever. but the
most beautiful of all the royalties, and
rivals the Princess of Wales in youth
full appearance. She is the queen of
misunderstanding, graceful and
gracious with a natural dignity that
proclaims it's royalty. The queen is
fond of the splendor of court life, and
is thoroughly happy at a great state
ceremonial, ball or banquet, surround
ed by magnifcence. Her interests in
life are many, and her activity is won
derful. She is a brilliant woman Of
the world, fond of the society of
thinking men, and enjoys conversing
with men of science, artists and politi-
clans. The queen also takes a warm
interest in the movement for the ad-
vancement of women, and keeps her.
self thoroughly acquainted with it's
doings, though she abhors a blue
stocking. She is a very hard worker,
and knows how to make others work,
too. There is no doubt that whatever
may happen, the queen is likely to re-
main the most popular woman in the
country
