SPOTTED COACH DOGS.
The Breed Has Become Practically
Extinct In This Country.

The Breed Has Become Practically
Extinct In This Country.
What has become of the old black
and white spotted Dalmatian dogs,
better known as coach dogs" that
were so numerous and popular
throughout the United States from
1869 to 1882 inclusive2 The breed ap-
pears to have become extinct in this
country, having, like the Newfound-
land, which has shared the same fate,
gone out of style and are no longer
popular. These dogs were white in
color and spotted over every part Of
the body with small black spots the
size of dime.
They were first brought to England
from the Austrian province Of Dalma-
tia, and are still popular to a certain
extent in that country, from which the
first specimens were brought to the
United States shortly after the civil
war. One of the reasons why this dog
disappeared so quickly was no doubt
the fact that he had no particular use
other than to pose as a snowy animal
and to trot along by ones carriage OF
coach and attract attention by his
striking color and markings. Aside
from this the Dalmatian dog was com
pletely worthless. He could neither
hunt, serve as a watchdog, catch rats
fight, or do anything else that othel
dogs are capable of doing, and for thi
reason, no doubt, he died out.-Wash

PERSIAN RUGS.
A safe Rule by which to Distinguish
the Genuine Ones.

A safe Rule by which to Distinguish
the Genuine Ones.
A great many persons iatter them
selves that they are able to tell a gen.
uine Persian rug from spurious ma
chine made one by touch, but in this
they deceive themselves. The best and
surest way to tell a genuine from an
imitation Persian rug Is the following:
If one will look closely, one will OBJ
serve that in the genuine Persian rug
the intricate and complicated pattern
or design is not altogether symmetric-
al. the corresponding flowers, vines or
Qeometrical figures Of one side being
a little out of line, larger or smaller
or not meeting and pointing with fig
ures on the corresponding detail on the
opposite side Of the rug This is owing
TO the fact that in hand weaving It Is
impossible to obtain perfect symmetry
Of patterns, especially when the de
signs are as complicated as they are
on Persian rugs On the other hand
LET one examine closely the machine
made rug. and one win find the mos
perfect symmetry Of pattern, so muei
so I'm fact that the design looks posi-
lively rigid and harsh. This a prett.
safe guide, and II observed one WI
seldom mistake an imitation for gen
uine Persian rug.

THE ANTHRACITE STRIKE

Reports from the anthracite region of
Pennsylvania show very disorderly con-
dition. The state troops have been or
dered to stay there until the strike is
over and exercise, doubtless, some re-
straining Influence, WHILE. at the same
time deepening the resentment of
the combative strikers, who want to con
tinue' unobstructed In lawless acts Of in
timidation and violence, driving away the
nonunion men who report for work and
dynanitings houses where such men are
supposed to be concealed. s%.
The strike is now in its fourth month
and, according to the government report
on the duration Of such strikes, six
months has Hereto fore been the longest
period 4 strike will last. The present
strike may beat the record, but there are
influences at work which may terminate

100000 in wages, assuming that produce
tion would have been as large this sum-

any very strong prospect of termination

The Smithsonian Report-For the year
ending June 80, 1900. Report of the Ma
tional Museum. Washington: Government
Printing Office.
The reports of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton are always Interesting and this volume,
touching the United States National Museum,
contains some very valuable features. The
appropriations by congress for the .specia;
museum feature began in 1858 in small way,
but were increased after 1885, when the col
lection was recognized as the National Mu-
scum, since which valuable scientific collec-
tions have accumulated by purchase, ex-
change and gift, until now it is one of the
most valuable in the wofd as museum of
research by students, in various departments
OF science, as it contains over 100000 objects,
of which SO, TIC relate to anthropology. The
report describes the most valuable objects in
all the collections. Specimens are not only
studied in the museum, but many of various
kinds are sent out for study every year to
natura1ists in this and foreign countries The
pressure for space for collections, added con-
stantly, is sharply felt, notably in the sec
tion OF geology. The list Of accessions Of
specimens Of all kinds in 1900 takes up forty
pages. The report of the curator of the de-
partment of anthropology, relates to California
and the remnants Of the old Indian tribes,
which represent twenty different languages.
A most interesting account is given OF Indian

YELLOW POLITICS
Mortified News,

The Minneapolis Journal has for weeks been
attacking the Minnesota delegation in con-
gress because some of the members presumed
to advise in regard to matters Of national inn
portance which were incorporated in the plat
form adopted by the republican state conven-
tion. 1t is undoubtedly true that suggestions
were made by members OF the delegation and
that a brief draft of some Of the pIanks
afterwards ratified in the convention were
submitted to many republicans in the state.
including the editor of the Minneapolis Jour
nal. Some of these planks were subsequently
put into the platform without modification,
and have since received the approval, not only
of the republicans Of this state, but have been
followed, especially as to the plank declaring
for tariff revision, by the republicans of Iowa
The only plank In the Minnesota platform
about which controversy has beeh raised, and
about which so much misinformation has been
given to the public through the daily pa
pers, Is the one concerning reciprocal rela-
tions with Cuba. The Journal has charged
time and time again, that the reciprocity
plank in question was drafted by the deega.
tion In Washington. If the editor OF the
Journal is disposed to be fair, Or is even in
clined to refer to his memory, he will rs.
member that this particular plank was no4
drafted in Washington, but was drafted
at meeting of the republican edit
ors Of the twin citiesJ members OF the STATE
central committee and representatives OF tho
congressional delegation held in the office q
the governor on the night before the stats
convention assembled. At that meeting plank
was submitted which had been drafted the
same day and read for the first time to the
gentlemen present. The original draft was
greatly changed by the meeting and finally
adopted by the convention. All Of the re-
publicans present agreed that it was a fair
expression of the views Of President Roose-
welt and Of the delegation and was COM
promise which would secure harmony in the
convention and support for the president and
the delegation. The Journal editor subse-
quently attacked the plank. stating that ID
was drafted in Washington, knowing that his
personal representative, very willingly acted
as secretary Of the meeting and participated
in formulating it. It would appear that 1t 10
wise to be fair about such matters, even II
newspaper does scanty justice to those whe
differ from it In some respects.

NOT "YELLOW POLITICS"

1t is with reluctance that T h o u r.
n a finds itself compelled to pay some at
tention to the attacks made upon it and
the persistent bitterness shown towards
it by Congressman Joel P. Heatwole, both
in and out Of the columns of his paper,
the Northfeld News. An editorial in that
paper headed yellow Politics" and re-
produced elsewhere on this page to-day,
makes it necessary for us to say few
words in self defense.
But, first, It h O. rnal desires to
say that it has never sought quarrel
with Mr.. Heatwole; that it has ever treat
ed him with distinguished consideration
and the most unvarying courtesy. So far
as we know, the cause of Mr.. Heatwole's
enmity Is to be found in the publication
some months ago of current political gos-s
sip regarding his designs upon the COVER
norship and his attempt to crystalline the
opposition to Governor Van SAINT. This
publication was in line with 7 h J o u r,
Is consistent policy Of publishing the
news, and there was no ground for a
charge Of breach of faith as, we under
stand, MIR. Heatwole has urged Repre-
sentations were privately made to him on
this point which should have been satis-
factory.',&,I .-T $50. .. T.
Mr.. Heatwole was in Minnesota a con-
siderable part of the time Of the last ses-
sion of the congress. Had he then been
in Washington he would now be in better
preparation to discuss certain questions
=, m
thought T e journal was wrong in
it's statement of the way the Minnesota
delegation voted on the Payne bill aud
the Morris amendment. He makes al
equally grave error in yellow Politics."
The erroneous statements therein made
call for brief statement of certain facts.
1t Is true that the personal representa-
tive Of the editor of this paper attended
the meeting Mr.. Heatwole describes. Con-
gressman Stevens presented to the meet
ing a draft of resolutions pertaining to
national issues which had previously been
prepared in Washington to suit the dele
cation and was read at the luncheon
which the delegation (except Mr.. Heat
wole) gave to Governor Van SAINT when
the latter visited Washington. The
Journal representative and one or
two others argued against the Cuban reci-
procity plank. He emphatically opposed it
as "straddle,'' as any gentleman pres
| ent at the meeting will testify, refused to
approve Of certain verbal changes which
merely made the plank more of straddle,
and on the final vote was the only person
present who voted against the plank.
The meeting was not a caucus, but
| rather an advisory council. Because all
| those present except it's representative
agreed to accept the weak and deceptive
plank, e J 0 urn a is not bound to,
uphold it. Foreseeing that the paper
would not approve Of the plank, T
Journal representative took special
pains to make plain to all present his un-
qualified dissatisfaction with it. Regard
Ing this conference as of private nature,
The Journal has not hitherto" re-
ferred to it, but Mr.. Heatwole's attack
leaves us free, and makes 1t incumbent
upon US. to make this explanation.
