Observation-Disclosures.

Two European acts of, exceptional ex-
cellence give prominence to the good
things of the Lyceum's big bill this week.
The first of these is the La Fayette La
mont troupe of acrobats with a. strictly
high-class act Of the whirlwind variety.
The Lannon'S are two men and two
women, young, graceful and wonderfully
finished in their superb tumbling. There
is no attempt at silly conversation, no
absurd efforts at fun making, only the
lightning exhibition going on every in
stant and arousing an audience to tenn
pest Of enthusiasm. ~. .ss
Another banner act, artistic and fin
ished, is that Of Won Tello and Nina.
This is the European novelty turn on the
aerial rings which made a sensation on
the continent two years ago. Nina is a
beautiful woman, and her graceful pos
ing is revelation in physical develop
ment. Feats Of muscular strength COM
bined with the poses cha cterize this
performance and make it extremely in
teresting.
A refined musical and talking sketch
| is presented by Mr.. and Mrs. Richa rds,
| two talented people well known on the
eastern circuit, but new to western audi
ences. Romance, grand opera bits, bur-
lesque, musical comedy, are represented
in their fifteen minutes work, to which
the audience took very kindly.
Raymond and Tricey present q novel
sketch, which. bubbles over with the
comedy. 1t is entitled "a Mr.. and a Miss
Mistaken and introduces two sweet
young people who have erroneous ideas
regarding each others mental soundness
The Brobst trio introduces wonderful
boy dancer and clever pair Of roller
skaters but they ought not to sing, least
| wise in theater-
Charles s. Laird sings new Illustrated
songs and the Lyceumscope presents sen.
sational pictures, showing the persecu.
| tions of the whitecaps of Indiana. &.

Discussing Aldermen.

Altho a wear will intervene between
this and another election, there is al
ready considerable local politics stir
ring. and stirring in a right direction,
As il seems to The Journal. The
people are talking about the selection
of candidates for aldermen. Now, any
thing that can be done by discussion
to improve the chances OF a straight
alderman for reelection or the defeat
of an undesirable candidate, is good
work. It is political breath better en-
ployed than it would be in a debate on
the tariff, because we may never have
tariff revision so long as the people 90
not elect the senate, and we are bound
to have aldermen.
The present Minneapolis city council
is called by good judges Of the average
of city legislative bodies. good. This
is not to say that it could not be i'm
proved, but it is testimony to the fact
that it has been improving, for Mime
apolis used to have as unfit city coun-
Gil as could be found anywhere in the
country. 1t was delivered over to COM
bines and Doodle practices. Now it is
comparatively clean, and it should be
the pride Of the voters to keep it as
clean as it is or make it cleaner. There
fore, discussion Of aldermanic candi-
dacies is in order.
It is rather unfortunate that the
ward system makes possible two indie
nenlent and sometimes antapOnistic
views of the worth Of an alderman
He may be a good man for the general
interests Of the city; he. may have
voted right on all large questions; he
may have been perfectly square on all
great contracts; he may have protected
the treasury tenaciously against many
small loots, and yet he may be voteC
failure in his ward because he hat
not brought jobs to the boys nor raidel
the treasury for fanciful ward improve
ments. We imagine there are nun
ber of such aldermen under discussion
now. The public at large would like
to see such men reelected because thei1
virtues are so much more than thei
failings, but the city at large can d.
nothing. directly, to aid them. Thes
men are in the hands of their restricted
constituencies. The city can do moth
Ing directly, but it can indirectly hav
large influence by testifying to tn
value Of the services of these men ant
thus helping them to the appreciation
Of their people.

The comparison shows higher aver

be remembered that what the state is

lines of railroad have attracted settle

lands, the pieces offered are no more
desirable than they were several years
ago, when buyers wouldn't take them.
They are going now because the best
land has been taken up and the land
hungry must take what they can get.
Judging from the way state lands sold

When Mavor Dunno of CHICAGO

The president has also made a not.

message to congress dated Dec. 6,

All the efforts at a compromise have
been directed toward the withdrawal
of the word Immediately, and thus far
! the president has resisted every effort
at compromise in that direction
holding that it would not be compro.
