Assembly of Wise Men.

The witenagemot or assembly of wise men, out of which the British parliament grew, was brought over to England by the Anglo-Saxons from their old home in Germany. Such council was originally held in each of the kingdoms of the heptarchy, but after the union of the kingdoms in q single nation under Edgar about 960 the witenagemot became the delibera- tive and legislative body of the nation.

If it is planned to put Senator Do

II it is planned to put Senator Doll
for vice president the ticket will re-
ceive a strong campaigner and the
state of Iowa will expand its chest
with pride at the prominence Of one of
it's citizens. The possibility of a new
vacancy in the senate coming before
the next session Of an Iowa legislature,
too, will heat politics to the boiling
point again but even tho the new sit
uation might open the senate to Cum
Minis in the interest Of harmony there
are thuus ands of us in the calmness
of our reflective moments who will
have to admit that the suggestion
could be improved
If the vice president performed only
the one function Of campaigning and
if the presidents expectancy could be
guaranteed there would be no objec-
ton. However, in selecting a candi-
date for the vice presidency it ought
always to be considered that Vice
President Roosevelt became president
and that the vice president should be
man whom all would pick as of pres
idential size. It would be most unfort-
innate for the nation were accident to
rsreat either the indecision of James
buchanan or the Incorporate contro-
versies If Andrew johnson. The eleva-
ton OF Cummins to the senate by the
process of trading is not exactly what
the rrogl essives OF Iowa were fighting
for and would not of itself end faction
alism In this state.

DESERVED spo,Ls or A VICTOR.

Up in st. Paul they think a lot of
ex-Mayor Robert A. Smith. and 1t
seems to be well founded esteem
that his townsmen and former subjects
have grown to feel for their former
chief magistrate. Mr.. Smith has but
recently left the office Of mayor OF the
SANITY City after the unusual record
,f holding the office for Is years. It's
a long time to hold any office, and far
more than half the time allotted the
average man to spend in any business
or occupation. For all this compare
lively long period, then, Mayor Smith
was chief magistrate, until few days
ago came about q turn of affairs,
One naturally feels interested in a
man who can hold the highest office
within the tender of the fellow citi-
zens of his municipality, come up for
reelection every little while and be
invariably reelected until he elects to
stay out OF the race of his own accord.
Unlike Senator William B. Allison, of
the state of Iowa, Mr. Smith fixed a
time for quitting long before his USE
fulness became impaired.
Mayor Smith is man of advanced
age, and as st. Paul is a democratic
city it Is needless to give his political
affiliations. A number Of years ago he
was a very wealthy man, vice presi-
dent of bank, and prosperous to a
degree that was a cause of envy to
many Of the covetous and cause for
congratulation by his numerous
friends. But the Bank Of Minnesota
met with reverses and Vice President
Smith could have stepped aside and let
the depositors whistle for their money.
as far as he was concerned.
But he was not that stripe OF man.
Instead of standing from under and
taking only such responsibility as the
law would impose on him in his capac-
ity as vice president of the unfortun-
ate institution, Mr. Smith stood him
self on his honor and let his conscience
pilot his course. He gave up all his
property, including his comfortable
mansion on Summit aevnue, the street
Of st. Paul's most substantial and rep
resentative residences.
So when he deprived himself of the
comforts of wealth that he might be
able to sleep calmly and look every
man honestly in the eye, he became,
comparatively, a very poor man. He
had to live and make for his family
The mayoralty race wasS soon to be
run. He became a candidate. He nat
urally headed the ticket of party but
party lines were forgotten, because a

not slow to recognize that politics was
not an issue where Robert A. Smiths
candidacy was concerned.
He was elected He made business
of his office and of politics, and put
all his commercial ability into filling
the office and giving impetus to the
welfare of the city, both in a civic and
political sense He had no unseemly,

Slow Southern Trains.
Baltimore SUM

General F. D. Grant, at a recent
dinner, said Of a slow railway in the
south:
'This line was so slow that the peo-
pie took to lampooning 1T in the press.
Thus, one Decoration day a planter
wrote to the Rapier, the leading paper
in his district:
"'The Editor Of the Isapier - Dear
Sir: Is there no way to put a stop
to begging along the line of the rail-
road? For instance, yesterday an aged
veteran with wooden leg kept pace
with the afternoon express all the way
from Paint Rock to Nola Chucky and
annoyed the passengers exceedingly,
going from one open window to an
other with his importune solicitations .

LoAFuNG ABOUT THE DEPOT.

(COon Rapids Enterprlse)
The crowd OF girls that almost every
evening congregate at the station to
see the wheels go round" Is not an
inspiring or promising sight. Some of
them are almost rowdies, and some Of
them represent some OF the best
families in town, whose parents are
no doubt wholly ignorant Of where
their girls are or what they are doing.
few evenings since The Enterprise
editor saw two girls flirting with a
negro porter, wildly genticulating their
arms at him as tho they might be
throwing kisses. It wsls great sport
for them. Another girl at another
time said to her girl companion as
freight brakeman passed, my, love
that fellow" and the brakeman over
heard her. And these girls who are
here mentioned are nice, respectable
girls, Of good families How long will
it be until some ofHhem will be ruined,
and when this occurs, who will be
most responsible, the girls or the par
ents? Girls ought to know and parents
ought to know that the general
opinion Of girls who perpetually flock
about depots IS not good. Girls have
no business there unless at the station
to meet friends who are expected to
arrive. They are often nuisance to
depot employees as we'll as trainmen,
blocking the platform to such extent
as to be In the way Such girls are
called girl loafers and certainly are
such. Self respecting girls should keep
away. But we presume this article

DENY STILIM4N REPORT.

Head Later, but Not Noe.

Positive statements published yesterday that
Games Stillnlan WAS about retire from the pres-
dency OF the National City Bank and assume the
Craftsmanship of the board said by friends
Of Mr. Stman TO be incorrect. He might take
such a step year TWO later. they added but he
had no present intention of retiring from the active
aragenlent of the institution the affairs Of
which he was maintaining the same degree Of SD
pervision as during his absences from the city in
previous years.
The report OF Mr. stillman's intention had its
origin in the announcement of his resignation as d
director and member Of the executive committee Of
the Union and Southern Pacific boards. his success
sor in those places being Frank A. Vanderp, vice
president Of the National City Bank, who .ast week
succeeded Mr.. Stillman a member OF the execu-
tive committee the United States Realty and I'M
proyement Company. Mr. NanderIip issued the
following statement yesterday regarding his en-
trance into the Union and Southern Pacific boards
There is no significance whatever in my going on
the boards the UnoT Pacific and Southern Pa
cific companies. I have merely temporarily taken
Mr. Stillnan's place during his short absence IN
Europe. 1t was considered necessary to have com
net executive committees. and thought de-
SirabIc that I temporarily nj the positions.

nature made desirable by Mr.. Stillmans absence
