pared to the patience with which Joel waits tor
things "to come his way. Heatwole plays
upon the weakness, the vanities and the ambi-
tions of his fellow citizens with the same mysti-
| flying skill that trained harper manpulates the
strings OF his instrument. HeatWOle is con-
scientious politician but his political conscience
is of that elastic sort that without difficulty
he stretch it enough to cover any method or
utilize any resource that will enable him to &C
complish his ends No other politician can
work with Heatwole, they must work for him
or train with someone else. Numerous Min
nesota politicians, who have in former times
arrayed themselves against him. have since
passed under his yoke and smiled if they en-
joyed their enforced submission to his authority
Candidate Dunn, in 1885, called him "tadpole"
but Heatwole cut the tail off the "tadpole" and
is using it for a whip-lash to make his for
mer bitter political opponent dance and dance
lively to his music.
For years, Chas. A. Mitchell of Alexandria,
hurled the darts of his biting cutting sarcasm
at the ponderosity encased within Heatwoles
| immaculate waist-coat Joel saved them all and
now that he has Charley hitched pole horse
to his band wagon, he takes special delight in
using these same darts goads to make Char
| ley step lively and pull steadily.
Should Heatwoe win in the present fight,
the iron rule of Quay in Pennsylvania and the
perfect political control of Platt in New York
| republican politics, will be as the loving con-
troll of a mother compared to the iron discipline
| of second wife and step-mother, compared to
| Heatwoles regime.
If Joel wins in this fight he will make and
unmake United States senators, governors,
mem ers of congress at his royal pleasure
Legislative members must receive his 90. K"
before becoming effective.
JAMES A, MARTIN.
X One of the great sources of Mar
tins strength is the remarkable power or faculty
of inspiring people with whom he comes in con-
tact with absolute confidence in himself and

complish. WhenJm says thing is so, nine
men out of ten believe it is so, if they
know it isn't so, yet the CO nfdenCe Jim has in
himself makes the almost unlimited confidence
the people have in him appear like distrust.
When Jim wants to do thing he always thinks
he can do it, and the only way you could get
that idea out of his head would be to shoot it
out. Obstacles that would be insurmountablel
to other men mere pastimes for him to
overcome. His nerve is simply sublime, and
would make him millionaire before he is so if
to turn book agent lightningr rod ped
dler. He is the embodiment of deternihatio
when Jim snaps his bulldog jaws and says,
We've gotten the rum the judge has got de-
legates to nominate him now" the Dunn and
Eddy men unconsciously step into Lemons and
inquire how much it will cost to remit dress
suits to attend the judges inaugural reception.

Disorder has been rife in the Cripple Creek
mining district in Colorado this week. One day
a dozen non-union miners were assassinated by
the blowing up of a station platform which
they were standing. The next day the militia
quelled riot and several persons were shot.
The whole difficulty has grown out of the de-
mand of the union miners for nine hour day.

C. A. Towne is being discussed as the
dark horse who is to capture the empty honor
of the Democratic presidential nomination. The
Parker boom has had hard shedding of late on
account of 50 many prominent eastern Demo
Gratis being against him. If the convention is
|deadlocked, there is report abroad that these
eastern leaders will pick up Towne as a COM
promise.
Congressman Hits vicepresidential boom

Mr. Hit had offered resolution in Congress in
favor of commercial union with Canada. The

anyway but we are inclined to think that the /
