IT KNOWS roo MUCH.
Thus growls The York (Pa) Dispatch

The Advertiser is rabid over Cleve- land. It has too much sense to say he can be nominated, but 1t advises Demo- crats to vote for him when in conven- tion. The Virginian-Pilot takes excep- ton to The Advertisers remarks, all or which bear out the statement or The7 Dispatch that "Mr. Cleveland cannot be nominated" He has few New York Stock-gamblers behind hffn, and few honest. but misguided newspapers. MT: Cleveland, in private life, is typical American gentleman. To drag his name into convention would he little less than an outrage. No matter who the nominee may be, he is going to certain defeat. The next President of the United States is Theodore Roosevelt.
 When the Apostle Paul was making his famous defence before King Agrippa. the Roman procurator, Porcius Festus. aston ished at his wonderful reasoning, ex claimed: Paul. thou art beside myself; much learning doth make thee mad" But the great advocate of Christianity. mildly replied: "I am not mad, most noble Festus. but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.''
 And so. when The Advertiser speaks words of truth and soberness'' about MT. Cleveland. the enemies of that great Democrat accuse it of being ''rabid." which is another name for madness. But The Advertiser is neither mad nor rabid. nor does it speak without a purpose. As to having too much sense to say that Mir. Cleveland can be nominated, perhaps it has. It is not in the same class with The Dispatch, and makes no pretension to absolute knowledge of the future. When The Dispatch declares that 'the next President of the United States is Theodore Roosevelt" it assumes a knowl- ligence. We are not in the habit of taking such risks.
 Whether MT. Cleveland can be nomi- mated is for the future to decide Whether he could be elected. if nominated. is also hidden in the vast depository of future events. "The yawning void of the future" as Marcus Aurelius calls it, is as dark to us as it is to The Dispatch. how ever. much that paper may claim to know. If it can project it's intelligence more than twelve months ahead and tell us with absolute certainty who will be President, its editor should not waste his gifts in a newspaper office.
 We have on several occasions advocated the nomination of MT. Cleveland because we have believed him the strongest man the Democrats could nominate. We have not changed that opinion. To say that he cannot be nominated, as our contem- porary does. Is to declare that which we do not know We neither know that he !. can be nominated or elected, but we do know, reasoning altogether from our knowledge of the past as well as of the conditions now prevailing, that we have no hope of electing any Democrat who Is not in harmony with him, nor can we hope to elect any Democrat on a platform which he and those of his way of thinking do not approve. Still we do not know what the future will bring about.

DOG WALKS 400 MILES.
Finds His Way Home to Toledo from
 Pittsburg.

Toledo. O., Special.
 Ed Eckert's dog, Tack. probably holds the canine record for long distance walk ing. He made the trip from Pittsburg to Toledo distance of 400 miles, in a little over six days, and finding his master was away from home. betook himself to James Ridley's Droege Street dog hos pital. at which he had once before so- journed.
 The dog perforce accompanied his mis- tress, Mrs. Eckert to Pittsburg, week ago, travelling by express. The smoky at mosphere failed to agree with him and shortly after his arrival he was missing. Nothing was heard of him until he turned up again in this city. very footsore and disreputable. but thoroughly happy and well pleased with himself.

of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jas. B. Sheridan, Rev. S. M. Marsh of
the Presbyterian church pronounced
the words that made Thos. McLaugh-

Only immediate members of the fam
lily and few intimate friends were
present. After the ceremony most
delicious wedding dinner was served
after which the young couple boarded
the train for short wedding trip to
the Twin Cities and Anoka, the former
home Of the groom. Many friends were
at the station to wish them God-speed
and rice and such other wedding &C
cessories were there in profusion.
Both Of the young people are too wei
known to need an introduction. Miss
Sheridan has resided in this city since
it's infancy and numbers her friends BY
the population. Mr.. Mclaughlin is oul

In Tor a vote of the people before the
general election in April. The BUSH
ness men seem to think it the proper-
thing for the new council to call a
special election to vote on the adon-
ton of the charter as made by the
commission some time last fall. CO.
pies of the same will be distributed as.
the law requires in time for all to see
what they are voting on and all good
cltizens should make it point to do
thelr duty in this natter. The couu-
cj' ~" probably this evening fix the
date of the election IN the charter pro-
position.
In the new charter, the clerk wile
be appointive and will be obliged to-
DO all the business of the city for
which he will receive SIS per month.
Thls is move in the right direction
and will enable the city to keep it's
affairs in shape to show the actual
condition. While the present system
of accounting shows the expenditures
and collections, it does not go into de-
tail as would professional bookkeper.
The salary of the treasurer is also
increased some in the new charter and
the council will receive $50 year i'm
place of $40 as now. Many other
changes of vital benefit to the city are
proposed and it behooves all to read
the same over carefully.

for his client, John Grahek, who was
convicted of killing Elias Seatovich,

that the defendant complained of two
things occurring at the trial and on
these asked for a new hearing. The
first related to two questions which the
prosecution asked one Of the witnesses
regarding the character of Seatovich
and the number of killings which have
taken place at Ely.
Judge Dibell said that every improp-

missioners, County Auditor Halden
and County Treasurer Whipple from
allowing the payment to Victor A.
Dash of any money on the contract
let TO him for the feeding Of prisoners
in the county Jail.
The action was begun in the district
court by William C. Wright, as a tax
payer, through his attorney, H. B. Fry
berger, and the date for hearing is set
for Feb. IA
The plaintiff sets forth substantially
that the commissioners had no right
to let the contract for boarding the
prisoners to Mr.. Dash, and asks that
the contract entered into with him be
declared null and void.
1t is further stated that during the
month Of January there were an av-
erage of sixty prisoners confined in the
county Jail and that therefore Mr.
Dash under his contract for furnishing
three meals a day to each prisoner al
II cents a meal will have a bill
amounting to about $500 for presen-
tation to the board.
The commissioners met Wednesday
afternoon and would probably have al
lowed the bill had the injunction not
shown up.
