THE TREASURE OF sHAG ROCK. By Robert
Lloyd Illustrated by l. B. Hazleton: Boston:
Lothrop Publishing Co. Price 81. Post
This story possesses all the conditions
which are apt to stimulate the interest OF
readers who are fond of tales of adven-
ture. A Boston merchant fails in bust
ness through the thefts of his bookkeeper,
and cashier. He and his son go to san
Francisco to start again in business and
make money to pay the creditors. Ult1-
mately they 'striSe it rich by outwit-
ting a gang of pirates and unearthing
great treasure on a veritable treasure
island" near San Francisco. It is as good
a treasure trove tale as was ever penned
and printed.

SLIP, postage prepaid.
This is not story of thunderous and
| bloody naval battles. The reader, how
| ever, learns in the details of young David
StocktonS life as naval cadet to ensign
| and aide to admiral, very much that
| is interesting about the daily life Of such
| an officer and of life on modern warship,
generally, in time of peace. Not that the
| book is purely didactic. On the con-
! trary. there is a pretty love story woven
| into its texture and the pages are well
sprinkled with interesting and, indeed, at
| times, dramatic Incidents The main
purpose of the author is to show the manly
| and heroic stuff Of which our naval OFF,
! GERS and men are made.

the Edison campaign manager. 1t begins
as follows: -. .,.7., 80
clarence B. Miller, Campaign. Manager
for Judge Edson-Dear Sir: AS you hre
sending many letters, posters and adver-
to discredit me, will you be kind
enough to write one letter in
praise of your own candidate
and let me know some one thing he
has done since coming to Minnesota on
which you base his claim to seat in con-
gress? Mr.. Edison is a man over-ripe IL,
years and surely would not ask SO high a
political office unless he had rendered some
service to the public or his party. Will
you pleass$ itennize the account?'
Editor Bede then itemizes his questions
in such a way as to indicate that he does
not have a very high opinion of the rec
ord ability or party services Of his oppo-
nent. His final question is: IF elected
would he not have a Duluth man to boss
the whole district for him p :. =
Elsewhere in the Budget the prospective
congressman drops a gentle hint to Anoka
county, just to show that his CaswelI let

"Anoka county being next to st. Louis

never having had district appointment,
or state office, ought to have recognition il

Editor Novotny of the Marshall County
Banner, an independent paper published
at Argyle, estimates that there will be
10000 votes cast at the coming primary

leading congressional candidates as fol-
lows:
Grindeland, $500; Valentine, 4,1oO;
Stevenson. 300; Comstock, 2,7Oo.
Mr.. Novotny claims that he has received

AlIeqe a Bankers Plot.

Democrats are endeavoring to make
capital out of the fact that a good many
Of the republican legislative candidates
are bankers. They see in it a deep laid
scheme to control the legislature in the
interests Of the money power They
have not so far discovered any law to
prohibit banker from running for any
office, and it is not likely that the in
terests Of the "plain people will be
seriously jeopardized by the election of

other class of business men to the

princesses Of the royal blood.

princesseB OF the royal blood.
That the young lady will attend the
coronation ceremonies is doubtless true,
for to witness that grand spectacle will
be an event in the lives Of many people
Of broad experience, let alone young
lady who has just entered society. But
that she Is t. take such a part iu the
spectacle as gossip credits her is
quite another matter and we do not
think 1t would for moment be tolerated
by tho president's good sense and robust
Americauism.
The ideas Of the people Of the United
States are well defined on all such mat
ters as these They make clear dis
tinction between what is called for offici-
ally, as 10 the appointment Of special
ambassador, and what would be appro-
pirate as a personal recognition Of the
daughter Of the president. That she
should receive marked social recognition
would be expected as matter OF course.
But that she should, on account of her
relationship, he singled out for royal
honors ID quite another matter in which
the sober sentiment OF the country will
recognize broad and self-evdent dis
tinction.-Depver Times

Some Of the advocates OF the Philip
pine bill are complaining because some
OF the senators insist upon discussing
tho Philippine question generally in the
senate while considering tue bill. 1t is
perfectly right and proper that the
Philippine question should be discussed
and thoroughly discussed too by the
senate. The people want to know sll OF
the facts surrouni ding this question and
it in very evident rs shown by the dis
cnssion thus far that mauy Of the facts
never will be known to the people unless
they are made public by such q discus
aion OF the question. There is no such
urgent demand for the immediate pas
sage OF tho tariff bill that would pre-.
clude thorough discussion Of the
Philippine question.
