HAYNES SUCCEEDS HIMSELF.

Minneapolis Mayor Haynes has the
unique distinction of being the only
Democrat to succeed himself in this
Republican city. No higher tribute
could he paid to his integrity, efficiency
and popularity. That he is a splendid
campaigner goes without saying. Ha
stood head and shoulders. intellectual
~. above his Republican opponent and
his record, both public and private,
was invulnerable. The shafts of crits-
cism hurled at him glanced off harm
lessly and proved a boomerang. The
bl sfness and professional men of the
city, as we'll as the toiling masses,
stood loyalty by Mr.. Haynes because
Of his superior ability and experience
in comparison with the Republican
candidate. He had manifested con-
siderable backbone in vetoing the Or
dinance passed by the council granting
all extension of it's franchise to the
Electric Light Company for period
of thirty years. That, more than any
thing else, contributed to his re-elec.
tion. Whether true or not, the report
found credence that his rival had ths
support of that corporation. With all
the influence at work against him he
carried nine out of the thirteen wards
of the city by a plurality of 373 votes
In view Of the fact that all the daily
papers. with one honorable exception
supported his opponent enthusiastical-
Mr. Haynes has cause to be proud of
his victory. The day has long since
passed when party organs can elect
their favorite candidates. The Daily
News and the Irish Standard stood by
Haynes through thick and thin, and
exerted more powerful influence in
his behalf than; the Republican or
gans of Newspaper Row did for Hu!,n,
after all his advertising in their COZ
umns. -urr. =
The Journal thinks, or affects t.
think. that the reelection of Haynes
by narrow ft,argiiii,n under the cir
cumstances herein stated, is "a virtual
defeat. 1t is nothing Of the Kind. As
said in the beginning, he is the only

himself. "His ridiculously thin plurali-
~" is an evidence of his strength and
not of his weakness. His opponcn.
vas the only one outside of Dr. Will
liams who had the nerve to enter the
primary contest against him. The
talk about Nye in the Journal may
be agreeable to that gentleman, bu.
lie was not a candidate for tho may
orally. We take this occasion of say
ing that Mayor Haynes administration
was satisfactory to the business in
tcrests and the masses of the people
ii general. No scandals were con-
hected with it. and it has not been
written up in the magazines as
terrible example Of municipal corrup.
tion. Now that the election is over
Mayor Haynes is entitled to fair treat.
ment at the hands Of the Journal. !,
is the duty Of an honest press to wish
him success and encourage him in
giving the best administration that
can be reasonably expected in a city
Of 100000 inhabitants. The irish
Standard is delighted at his triumph
and hopes he will not disappoint the
expectations of his supporters who
carried him to victory.

The True Mechanic.

After man has worked In shops
for ten or fifteen years there Is a great
desire for a change. Some want to go
out on a farm, others think that the
invention of something that can be
patented will solve the problem, while
others want to own and run shop
themselves The latter Is really the.
true mechanic. but not necessarily the
man who will get out the most or even
the best work while working for
boss, says Charles Henry In the Work
ers Magazine. On the contrary, he
will often be considered the lazy man
by the foreman when the work Is Of
an ever recurring character. Let, how
ever, some difficulty arise In connec-
tion with a job or have some hard
proposition TO meet and he will always
have suggestion TO offer that VIII
help to solve the problem, while the
ordinary man and the hustler VIII.
stand around helpless and often dis
Interested. He will have the elemen-
tary laws OF mechanics and physics at
his finger tips, will know enough Of
electricity a. allow him to discourse
upon the subject IN an intelligent man
ner, and he will be well posted upon
the mechanical progress OF the day.

HiCCOUOHS CURED
BY HOBO PHYSICIAN
Hopeless Victim Takes Treatment
and Finally Coughs Up Large
Yellow Bug.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 2T.-Attacked
with hiccoushs over three months ago,
which returned with great severity at
intervals OF from two TO four days,
Jan es A. Greaves, of 1881 North Broad
street. has been reduced in weight from
zO5 pounds 10 a mere skeleton, who
would hardly turn the scales al 10
pounds. Eminent physicians in this city
and New York were consulted in the
case. but failed to bring relief, and it
appeared that Greaves was doomet
until two weeks ago. when a travelling
hobo who applied at the house for a
crust Of bread claimed he could cure
the afflicted man If he would submit 10
his treatment which he termed a water
cure.
Greaves, like a drowning man grasp
ing at a straw, installed the hobo lIi ms
OutkitChen and took the course. which
consisted of drinking hot water ana
vinegar. This continued until Saturday
last when I'm a violent attack the pa
tient coughed UP a yeIlow-coIored bug,
and the coughing immediately sub
sided. GreaVess while feeling much
elated over the ejeCtment Of the bug
will however, retain the services of
the hobo until he is certain of a cure.
