Young Mr.. Garfield may be "a chip
of the old block" but he will never
reach the presidency.
| The movement on foot in the State
Legislature to furnish an official resi-
dence for the governor deserves hearty
endorsement, We should have an exc
cutive mansion-one, too, in keeping.
with the states greatness.
An entertainment in honor Of Cover
nor johnson will be given by the Odin
club at the clubrooms in the Evanston
building, March 81. Congressman
Lind and C.. A. Smith will be among
the number who will respond to toasts.
E. L. Masqueray, chief of design Of
the st. Louis Exposition, one Of the.
leading representatives of the archi-
tectural profession in the world, will
design the cathedral which is to be
erected in st. Paul. This was decided
by the building committee in the capt.
tai city Thursday night. ..
The mileage grab" found favor
with Congressman Tawney, McCleary:
and Davis. All that Stevenson could.
do was to answer present" while,
Bele, Buchanan, Stevens and Volstad
failed to answer when their names,
We're called. There was but one mo-
from the Minnesota delegation and it
was cast by John Lind.
Before year has passed away Tom
Watson will find to make his much
heralded magazine success, that
something else besides IAN idea back
of it" will be necessary to make it
success. Anyhow quicker and better
results might follow in this particular
case by direct reversal of the IDEAS
position.
By vote of 81 to Al the General
Assembly at Denver, Col, declared
James H. Peabody governor of that
state on Thursday last. A more das:
tardly outrage than this has not been
committed since the fraud of 1876. The
will of the people has again been
thwarted. What happened in Kentucky
may again be repeated in Colorado and
with much better reason.
News item. March 10, 19SO.-The,
Delaware Legislature adorned today
without electing United States Sen
ator. Gas" Addicks, now over a hun
dred years old, is still in the race and,
refuses to be chloroformed. No one
has the hardihood to say that Mr.. Ad--
dicks has outlived his usefulness:
though it is universally conceded that
he has outlived all those who first op-
posed him. "
| BESIDES the erection of a new high
school building to take the place of the
one destroyed by fire last Monday
morning, the thriving city Of New
Richmond, Wis, has number of
other improvements in view for 1905.
The question Of better sewerage is be-
ing pushed to the fore and busy sea-
son seems in store for the Badger
town. The last issue of the Republi-
can-Voice contains some good practical
suggestions from Rev. Father Boyce
in relation to the sewerage question
and all in all they are mapping out
plans for a city beautiful" over there.
| When John G. Spooner of Wiscon-
sin. first entered the United States
Senate, it was said he had the assist
ance and support of the corporations.
And time has furnished many proofs
that this was true Mr.. Spooner's acts
plainly tell the tale. Now comes
! Robert NJ. LaFollette, from the same
state, soon to become the colleague of
Spooner; what of him? He is on pa.
rade as the enemy of corporations.
Will he be as consistent as Spooner?
If he does the Badger State will at
tract more or less attention during the.
next four years.
| President Roosevelt was the guest
of honor at the banquet of the New
York Friendly Sons of st. Patrick yes
teriay. The president was escorted to
Delmonico's by the famous Sixty-ninth
Regiment. The souvenirs were black
thorns cut from the original tree from
which Fin Mac Cool, the strong man
of Erin's most strenuous age, got his
historic shillelah. The one presented
J to the president is beautiful stick
that has been carefully polished by
four generations of the O'Briens Of
Thomond and then dried in the turf
smoke of mountain cabin. The AS
ISOLATED Press is our authority for
this. I'D
