DANGEROUS HyMoRIsr.

To the experienced campaigner there IS
from the silly efforts of the Dispatch to
stir up something like interest in the
Republican campaign by it's ill-advised
cartoons.
A few evenings ago, a direct insult was
put on one of the leading Republican
business man of this city by representing
him pictorially as being hauled around
in cage-something after the manner of
a dog being hauled to the slaughter-be-
cause he had the temerity to avow him
self in favor of Mayor Smiths reelection
Mr. Young is not in politics. except as
all good citizens are. His personal
privacy is entitled to be respected even
if he does think proper to attend a public
meeting. But the Dispatch is bound to be
funny at all hazards, and this is a fair
instance of the mistaken sense of humor,
which so often proves extremely ex-
pensive in political life.
Another brilliant performance, but not
at all offensive, since it has to deal
entirely with personalities concerned IN
the administration of public office, is the
funny stroke which represents a recent
successful piece of detective work by the
chief of police in the capture and con-
Vlction of a band of confidence men as
in some mysterious way a bogus under
taking. Of course to the humorist of our
contemporary it did not matter that the
confidence men in question had been tried
IN open court and convicted, nor that the
Dispatch itself had advised the public of
the facts. Not at all. The needs of r. B.
Dcran's present plight are great, and
something must be done for him, or at
least attempted

man was afterwards removed for having.

candidates. Every mano of them is man
of superiority in his private station. They
are men who can afford to give their
services to the community as a matter
of public pride and local patriotism. They
are all sound Democrats who have also
in mind the idea Of aiding in the per-
petuation of Democratic power in the
community, accompanied as it has been by
the most gratifying results. There will
be no corruption, no Sinking public duty
and obligation, no unwillingness to faca
any question which comes up or to de-
eide it in favor of the common people, no
matter what influence may be arrayed on
the other side Certain of the assembly
nominees have already proven their popu-
larity, like Henry Haas and DR.. Whit
comb; and their election by increased ma
jorities is conceded even by the most en-
thusiastic Republicans.
Among the younger men who have re-
Gently appeared in st. Paul politics, one Of
the strongest is Michael Doran Jr Mr.
Do&an's future is all before him. He is
the architect of his own political fortunes.
His career at the bar thus far seems to
indicate the widest range of public use
fulness as being in store for him. His
full Identification with the fortunes of
his party since he came of voting age,
shows that he has inherited his Democ-
racy. His activity in the past on behalf
of Democratic candidates for every office
leaves little doubt that he realizes fully
that only by good service and hard work
can any man commend himself to the
public favor.
AS referee in bankruptcy, Mr. Doran
has revealed unexpected qualities A ca
pacity for detail which is not looked for
in the young practitioner has enabled him
to transact the extensive business of that
office with the most complete satisfaction
to creditors and debtors alike. His ac-
quaintanceshfp with the law Of bank
ruptcy has made some of the old mem
bers of the bar, who began their bank
ruptcy practice under the law Of 1856,
wonder how the young fellow had so
familiarized himself with the decisions.
The result of the primary assures Mr.
Doran his election as assemblyman among
the few leaders in the polling. His youth
and activity, and his absolute indie
pendence of all the private influences that
are brought to bear to influence men g

most faithful service His ambition to
make record for himself that will COM
mend him to the public favor is sure to
result in his proving one Of the most use

PIT on A RUTTON.

Those neat and attractive buttons pre-
pared for the contributors to the Coli
scum fund were designed to be worn.
A large supply of them has been Sc
cured, and any one who has contributed
to the fund should have one in sight.
Nothing is so encouraging as a good ex-
ample and the mere fact that one sees
hundreds, even thousands, of his neigh
bors wearing the Coliseum button will
be effective in inducing him to go and do
likewise.
It is not in any way offensive to the
artistic sense. 1t will serve to ornament
any coat. 1t is also an evidence of 10y
atty to st. Paul and of an interest in an
undertaking for the public welfare. One
seen with a Coliseum button on is at
once set down as a public spirited citizen,
one who expects to live in st. Paul, and
who, therefore, wants such public con-
venience as the Coliseum.
Teaching by precept is we'll in its way,
but by example instruction is made more
effective. Therefore, let every one en-
titled to wear a Coliseum button forth
with provide himself with one and keep
it in sight every week day. at least.
Coliseum buttons may be secured of Mr..
G. P. Slime, secretary Of the Coliseum as
ISOLATION, by application to him at the
Commercial club. Unions, assemblies, all
kinds of organizations which have adopt
ed resolutions pledging a days wages for
the Coliseum fund-and, glory be, there
are many of them-should make requis-
ton for supply of buttons equal to their
membership. These buttons should be
given out to the members to- be worn until
the Coliseum is an accomplished fact, and
then retained as souvenirs of the part
taken by the owner in such a laudable
public enterprise.
Let the button be more in evidence.

THE END IN SIGHT.

Enough has already been established
through the negotiations carried on be-
tween the English and the Beers to iusti-
fy the conclusion that whatever the uIti-
mate outcome of such negotiations may
be, the British dream Of unconditional
surrender is forever dispelled.
Before the Jameson raid was attempted
the British politicians and people had
been made to understand that the Beers
were a race of men who would not easily
surrender their political liberties But
neither that raid nor any other of the
conflicts which had before taken place be-
tween the two races, including the first
Spion Kop, nor all of them together Were
sufficient to convey the thought to the
British understanding that the Beers
could or would dare to withstand the en-
tire power of the British empire for six
months.
The British premier gave deliberate ex-
preston to the spirit of the British ma
ton when, in the teeth Of all the ap-
majesty's troops, he declared the determi-
nation of his government that not one
shred Of the Boer liberties would survive
the close Of the war. Lord Salisbury, as
a prophet did not prove himself to be
worthy of being named the same day as
President Kruger, when that old warrior
and statesman avowed that the cost of
the subjugation of the Transvaal would
stagger humanity.
What is it that has brought England to
the recognition of the right Of the Beers
to the considerate treatment which it was
declared time and again they had placed
themselves beyond receiving by their
withstanding of British power? Their

When speakers at a political meeting
are greeted by such an audience as gath
cred last evening for the Democratic rally
at 80 South Robert street, it must be easy
for them to put forth their best efforts,
and when that audience is afforded an
opportunity to hear such speakers as oc-
cupled the platform on that occasion the
event must be said to have been unquali-
heoly success. The large room was
crowded to it's utmost capacity, and SO
great was the enthusiasm at times that
the speakers were frequently interrupted
by remarks from the body of the hall.
Those interruptions, however, were such
as to encourage rather than discomfort
the speaker, and indicated merely the in
terest with which his remarks We're be-
ing received. Edwin Weisenburger, chair
man of the Sixth ward organization, pre-
sided over the meeting.
The first speaker of the evening was
Hon. Robert A. Smith, who has not often
appeared on the platform in the present
campaign, and was given a most hearty
reception. He discussed the charges Of
Democratic extravaganza which have
been made by the Republican orators and
Republican press, showing conclusively
