Governor Mickey's friends deny that
he had the southerners intensely ex-
cited during his visit to Galveston by
stating that the last time he had been
south he was with the federal army.
On the contrary, they say the Incl
dent was grossly exaggerated by
newspaper reports. II is certain that
II such brief and conservative state
ment can rouse the ire OF the south
erners, there should be little induce
ment for a northerner to visit their
section of the country, and particular
ly IL the northerner is expected to
make any remarks.

The Chicago teamsters' strike is
rapidly attaining the proportions that
promise the usual developments OF the
strike situation in the windy city. In
no other city OF the world do strikes
seem to have such a guarantee OF
growth as in Chicago. and they u.s.
ually develop the force and energy
emitting them to national prominence.
There is an affinity between the labor
unions that make for potency, and the
employing capitalist is not permitted
TO abuse one OF the least of them with
out involving the entire fabric Of city
labor organization in the contest.

there should be a tip to a number of
lesser lights. II it does not pay the
greatest of them all it cannot be ex-
pected to pay the minor satellites and
the sooner they follow his example
and quit, the better. John L. Sulli-
van, Corbett and number of other
prominent pugs, have proven conclu-
sively that there is neither honor nor
wealth in professional pugilism and
there should be no inducement to any
young man to enter for a career in

England is about to take to herself
another lesson from America in the

now discussing the advisability Of
adopting an exclusion law. with the

plains OF Nebraska into a wood, grove

When a circus comes along with no
grand, glittering street pageant as it's
drawing card there will be a lack Of
interest in the loading and unloading
of the big wagons and their tour
through the streets as in the circus
itself, and it is figured by circus own
ers that the parade is passing into
history. II is counted that it re-
quires about $1,000 in expense for the
average show to give a parade and
frequently that is all the people come
to see. Perhaps. however, when this
feature is eliminated there will be a
corresponding decrease in interest
that the circus people will not find to
their liking. There is likewise objec.
ton to the expense of the gaily col.
ored Autographs with which the bill.
boards are decorated and II the cir.
Gus people take away these two fea,
lures the circus itself and the me.
nageries may about as we'll be dis
