A Strong Ticket.

uc SCeutS VI cutuuSldSll dG Gue Dcul-
ocratic and Popullst state conventions
last week were evidences of the determi-
nation of the fusion forces to elect their
whole state ticket this year as we'll as Sc.
cure its electoral votes for Bryan and
Stevenson. All accounts agree in stat
ing that the Democratic convention was
the largest and most enthusiastic ever
held in Minnesota. On every hand there
was confidence expressed in sweeping
victory for the reform forces in Novem-
Der, and the splendid state ticket that
was placed in nomination is certainly
deserving of the support of every voter
who desires to see the affairs of the state
we'll and honestly administered.
Of course, the ticket IS headed by that
splendid statesman, Gov. John Lind.
There was no other name mentioned in
connection with this office, and the
enthusiasm with which the COVER.
nor was nominated by reclamation fol-
a second term as the chief executive of the
commonwealth testified to the warmth
of the feeling towards him on the part
of the people of Minnesota. John Lind
has given the people splendid admin
istration, and his record as governor can.
not be successfully attacked. All the
mud that the Republican organs can
throw at HIM cannot besmirch the fame
of the best governor that Minnesota has
had for many years.
The demonstration which marked his
nomination in the convention was mild
compared with the enthusiasm with
which his candidacy will be received by
the voters everywhere throughout the
state, regardless of party affiliations.
The people have watched his course al
the head of the state government, and
they have rejoiced that he has steadily
guarded their interests and insisted on an
honest administration of the laws. The
people are satisfied with his able admin
istration, and will re.elect him by large
maiority.-Duluth Herald. -. q

at MoIave or the Needles, the man and his clothes are distinct and sep arate existences. They have no con- nection with each other. But the London hotness is like the heat ot the Mississippi valley-it fuses crea- ture and raiment into one PulPy, steamy, indistinguishable mass.
 In fact, when you come to climate. there is no place on earth fit for human being to4ive in outside of Cal ifornia. This was made by an all wise Providence for purposes of hab- itation; the other places are mere ly countries to visit. I do hope that Carcasonne will be like California. Citizens of London alone appear to suffer from heat. Only relief is found in writing letters to the Times about it. Letter to Times is singular and most efficacious combination of faith cure. Christian Science, hypnotism and actual remedy for all ills under the sun you ever heard of. No mat ter what happens to Englishmen-ob- uoxious law, extreme heat, military reverses, sickness in family, ungrate. full child-anything, everything - he sits dowA and writes a letter to the Times.

going up for the new building neU door, where busy men, instead of cut ting off each others heads, would hire, with good coin, heads wiser than their own to think and live for them. Surely, beloved, the new building is the better worth the looking at. It is always better to build than to tear down. London has no sky-scrapers ta build 2c-story sea caffoldings for, to be sure. Which shows how far behind her hustling younger sisters of the mighty west she is. Oh, the dome o1 St. Paul's is 365 feet higher than the sidewalk. but it is no steel and terra cotta Ssh ack." It is an old thing built about 200 years ago, in the days when they began at the found atiou of building and built up. Now they seem to begin almost anywhere in tn, air along the line of the wall, and tn, men who work the fastest get theiI story done the first and go down and help the men who are putting in thu foundation. Understand that St Paul hasn't fallen down once einct the present building was finished Must be owing to some peculiarity o! construction. Which, in our mcderI buildings, architects have in many iD stances successfully corrected.
 Another thing put down in notebooI have missed. That is the cola. seIfsh- unapproacha ble, isola ted EnglishmaE He must exist because the old travel.. had warned us against him. Only, WI haven't happened to meet him. Didn't know a soul in town; never in London before; didn't care for guide after first experience with one who got lost twice and didn't know so much about Lon don as we did. Citizens recognized ui in all our wanderings. Easy enough to recognize party of Americans i any girls in crowd-sailor hat ant shirt, waist supposed to be nationa costume.

from their flock find in "Bobby" a friend and guardian. l don't care where you question him, he directs you to remotest corners of London as though his beat extended over the en- tire city. To us he has always been ready with little more informant than was asked for. I have never ob- served the slightest approach to haul teur in his bearing, save toward the cabbies, who appear to be his natural enemies. If he be a "city" policeman the stripes on his armlet are red. whereas those on the "me metropolitan" officer are blue. And the 'city" helmet is more ela aborate. The pictures of the helmet always look heavy enough Tor war. It is as light as the ordinary derby hat. And the "armiet," made familiar to American eyes by London pictures. merely indicates, being buck led on the arm, that the wearer is on duty. The sergeant wears the light est and simplest chevrons on his sleeve; that is all that distinguishes his rank. His cousin on the American force of his own grade looks like a colonel in the regular army.
 The London police force impresses one all the time with the sense of 'service." And I hesitate to write this, because 1 know it will not be believed in America-but the London policeman speaks English without brogue in it. Several of him have as- sured me that they were born in Lon don. I knew, of course, that this could not be true, and yet had been assured that a London "bobby" never joked, and I was certain that the discipline of the force should prevent them from giving misinforma tion to a stranger. One man assured me, solemnly, that although his grandparents were in deed Irish, he had resided in London for IS years before he was placed on the force. I suppose the man had some reason for concealing the facts of his case from me, and of course I had no right to insist on the truth Still, it is pleasant fiction for an American citizen to dream over To be dwelling in a city guarded by con- stabulary of it's own. home-born citi- zens! That Is utterly un-American, know, but it's pleasant, and I'll say so if I go to the Tower for it. Going there anyhow.

 casonne, which the guide tells me lies now put little way beyond the mountains, is the succession Of pleasant surprises along the way. We crossed the Atlantic ocean without single case of what Mark Twain calls the "Oh, my!" and we had 13 days in London without taste Of rain or fhe shadow of a fog. And so many Travellers, Americans, ciergymen, sureachers, doctors, teachers and re- <epecta ble members of the laity have told me that must not think of going fo London without 8 lantern in my boxes; that I would need it when l landed to find my way from the train to cab; that London dwelt at all Hines of the year under such g. fog and smoke as made it necessary to 4urn candles-by which the city II mainly lighted-all day.

weather surprises me, because, in my
 residence of Is minutes in London the thing that most impressed me was the plain, everyday, solid, practical com mon sense of the Englishman. l like his mingled independence and rever- ence for law. He controls the great est city on earth without a club. The London policeman wears no belt, his blouse is light and comfortable, there isn't the suggestion of the soldier in his service uniform, and his weapon less hands are bare. But when he mere ly lifts finger the street stands still. And I haven't heard him "yelP' at . soul. Lost childhood, apprehensive age aud bewiIdereG "cookias" strayed

Must be apparent to inventor that ice carts driven through city streets would cool off whole city. Put on few extra ice carts, snow come down. Great suffering among poor, who wouldn't be ready for it.. Perhaps that is reason why plan is not adopt ed. Thoughtful people.
 However, the Londoner is not an ice eater. Zero or boiling point cuts no ice with him. He doesn't know how to use it when it is frozen ans

However. in explara ton of all these portents, they told me that this was an exceptional. year." This brought tears to my eyes. My soul overflowed. My lady wept, and the boys cried: Tt is to laueh!"

Building to Last.

And another simple street idea; when our Cousin John erects a scaf- folding for building operations he shows what born sailor he is, for he lashes the great masts and poles and plank together with ropes, and thus he builds his six-story scaffolding firm and staunch as the rigging of ship. Then when he takes it down he doesn't pound and knock it to pieces; he shakes loose his sailor knots and lash ings, takes it down like the old rig ger that he is, and it is good and ready for the next work.
