For the past few years l have been

the male parent has some maraH1al III

nest for the female, some little pocket
with gravel bottom protected from
the strong current, but with plenty of
fresh water, and then hugs or pushes
the female into it. The eggs are
spawned by the female, who swims
away and leaves them to their fate.
The male fertilizes the eggs and then
for few days watches over them,
flaming them occasionally to insure

A correspondent from Milbank
writing to the Minneapolis Jour
nal, lets his enthusiasm for the
anu machine crowd run away with
his judgment. He speaks in the
most glowing terms of the recent
demonstration at Huron in organ
ing what is called the Choose
welt Republican League and
goes on to give a few plans of the
coming political battle. He states
that the ticket of this outfit has
already been selected and to
prove it goes on, in innocent faith,
to name 1T from top to bottom.
While there is no doubt this cor
respondent has been fully in
formed upon the subject he dis
cnsses, it looks as if he was
rather indiscreet in telling SC
much. The sorehead boxer out
fit which has started in to mas
querade under the name of Choose
welt Republicans have wished it
to be understood as one of the
tenents of their order that there
is to be no political machinery al
lowed. This idea they have pro-
claimed far and near, but the Mil
bank fellow, who is evidently on
1.-THE inside, has so far forgotten
the fact that he proceeds to pub
lish the ticket the boxer leaders
have already slated in case they
can control the next state conven-
ton. it looks as if the boxers
had started in to promote their
own machine and name their
ticket before they had any of the
material for it delivered on the
ground. But the boxers are noted
for inconsistency.

the wise ones at the national capt.
tail is to the effect that sufficient
number OF senator's are lined up
on the rate legislation proposition
to prevent the passage of any rad

is agreed on the idea that the
powers of the Interstate com
merce commission should he en-
larged to the extent of prevent
ing private rebates to shippers,
the private car monopoly and a
