THE GOVERNMENT IND THE
n

THE GOVERNMENT and THE RE
PUBLIC.
The Chicago Tribune has recently pub
lished a series of articles which have been
intended to combat the doctrine of State
rights. The subject has boen worn thread
bare, and but for the fact that grave hsresy
has crept into the Tribune editorials, We
would not feel called upon to refer to them.
Those who have read the articles in question
cannot fail to have remarked that loyalty tc
"the government" was esteemed by the
writer as the paramount duty Of tho citizen
"The government is always spoken of as
the center around which ali oitizens should
cluster, and to which The most ardent deyo-
ton is due.
Loyalty is one of the highest duties man
owes to his country. But there is great
distinction between loyalty to government,
and loyalty to an idea. Our system is ar
idea. That idea is g republic. A republic
is form of government, simply, where the
minority consents to be governed by the ma.
jority. AS long as this idea is maintained
loyalty to the government will be loyalty to
the republic. But when the issue is raised,
as it will be eventually, and sooner than
most people anticipate, men will bs obliged
to discriminate between fealty to the govern.
ment and loyalty to the republic
When that time arrives there
will be men who will de-
poDnca thosa who odbora To tho ro,,,>,;, %
traitors to tie state, while they themselves
are the veriest traitors to the republic in
existence.
1t is time that the distinction between the
government and the republic was drawn.
They are separate ideas. The government
may be monarchy tomorrow and demand
the support of all the people. Yet if the
people choose to withhold their support,
would they be traitors? Not at all. When
citizen of the United States awears allie
glance to the government he swears to sup.
port the republic and nothing else, and if
the government is transformed into O mon.
archy, he is absolved from any allegiance he
may have assumed.
This is suggestion. 1t may become an
issue in tho future. It is not improbable
that it will be question of great moment
to many people early in the next decade
Army officers and officers in the civil list
may be called upon to choose which they
will serve-"the government" or the repub
lie. If they are patriotic they will not hest
tate, but cast the weight of their influence on
the side of a government of the people, fol-
the people and by the people.

THE DO-NOTHING POLICY.

What shall be the policy of the future? is
question that will absorb public attention
for the near future. The Republicans do
not know which way to turn, and the Demo.
Gratis are in like fix. The eve of Presi-
DENTAL election is always time at which
parties are reluctant to declare themselves,
but the present seems to be a season of ex-
ceptional backwardness. To use vulgar
phrase, "the one is afraid and the other
dares not"
There is good deal of talk in the news
papers about what the people want of Con-
gress. 1t is our csndid opinion that the
people want very little of that body, and the
less done the better will the people be
pleased. There is no popular demand for
any measure affecting the general welfare
that cannot be fully met without Congress
sional enactment. Our laws are at present
adequate for the redress of all grievances.
They contemplate the protection of every
citizen in the exercise of his rights. If en-
forced they will give to all American oiti-
zens all the privileges they may claim, what
ever they may be, provided they are based
on equity. What, then, is the necessity of
legislation? There are but few Imperfect
tions in the statutes, and fewer still in the en-
actments of only temporary effect. We
have all the protection that is required
for the maintenance of the freedom of the
citizen, and everything in the past that could
be devised for his prosperity. Mistakes have
no doubt been made. We could point to
many of them. But these mistakes are not
OF the character that demands remedial leg.
lslatlon. If the laws were carefully exam
'ned 1t would be found that there is an ade-
quate remedy for all grievances, personal or
political. -
Congress has duty to perform to the
general public. That duty may be comprised
IN very few words. Let well enoupb
alone. IT. is not necessary that legislation
should be had on the subject of the finances:
1t ID not necessary that the tariff should be
revised at this time; it is not necessary. above
all other things, that anything should be
done to revive in the remotest degree the
anlmoslties that were engendered between
the North and the South during the late ron.

THE ST. PAUL RING,

HOtU 1t Scoops the Gree1sh0rE ReDubEicans
from the Country.
Lanesboro Joernal-Rep.1
We have read with great deal of interest
an article in the Owatonna Journal of Nov.
2lst, entitled, "The First Congressional
District" 1t is complete an d unanswerable
expose of the miserable schemes of the St.
Paul clique OF the Republican party, which
were so craftily planned and carried out as
to defeat the nomination last year of any
man for governor from the First
district and to secure the denomination OF
Gov. Pillsbury.
After twenty years of steady support to
the State ticket" says the Journal, the Re-
publioans of the First Congressional district
this year asked that the nominee for cover
nor on the. Republican ticket be taken from
the first district. This request was denied
them, though such an honor, in the history
OF the State, had never been granted them.
This reasonable request was secuted, and
the assertion made that the State was alive
with enthusiasm for Governor Pillsbury
During the canvass they were accused OF
conspiracies, dark and deep, of disloyalty to
the party.
The Journal then shows by the official
figures of the election how popular Gov
Plllsbury has been, and how Republicans in
the First district supported him. In 1877
Plllsbury had 7,O71 votes, Banning 80, 147,
or a maj ority of 1924. In 1873 he re-,
ceived 57,471 votes and Rice 4o,374, or a ma
jority of 1907. Pillsbury's majority this
year in the Third Congressional district was
only 1927. In the Second district his ma
jority was but 268. In the First district, the
home of COnSDiratOrs aa a|Iaoa1 h, Tho
hackers of Gov. Pillsbury at St. Paul, the
majority for Pillsbury was 1892, the
largest majority any candidate ever received
IN the district. In the vote of this year
compared with the vote of 1877, Pillsbury
lost in the Third district 1,42l, and in the
Second district no lost 1857, while in the
First district, where the Republicans were
allowed to vote fer governor providing he
halls from some point outside the district
Pillsbury gained 1928. Here the vote OF
22,494 Republicans in the First district
| saved the outside candidate from defeat.
This truthful expose should fill the leader;
OF the st. Paul ring with shame and confu
sion. They have made it rule to assist nc
man from this district unless he will agree &c
do full service for the clique. Their motto
1--WE serve those who serve u.s. has been too
faithfully carried out for the benefit of the
Republican party, and We heartily concur
with the Journal in his prediction, "that the
year is not far off when the Republican party
can and will, in convention assembled, nom
mate an active ticket without yielding whit
| to the dictations of any number of men who
IN their combinations, care more for person.

urday night.
Everything tends to confirm the assertion
that there will be more building done in
this city next year than during the present
year.
Our merchants say that they never had
better fall for trade than the present, which
fact is probably owing to the good price
paid for wheat.
Coon Dreschler's saloon was the scene of
love feast in the shape of row Saturday
night. The parties to the affair will pay
visit to the municipal court to-day.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
building association held Saturday night,
Thomas Francis borrowed 81, 900 at bonus
of 40 per cent, and David Gaslin $4,000 at
bonus of Al per cent. Fifteen shares of
forfeited stock of the third series were sold
at premium.
What Saltwater needs is large union ele-
vator for storing wheat, ss the inadequate
storing capacity furnished by our mills will
not accommodate the large amount of that
cereal becoming tributary to our city by
reason of the high price paid here compared
with that paid by neighboring towns.
OPEN TEMPLE.
The open temperance meeting of the Tenn
pie of Honor was not as largely attended Sat-
urday night as it should be, the weather ex-
ercising stay at-home influence on good
many.
Messrs. J. @. Webb and J. P. Mcintyre
favored those present with spirited and rous-
ing remarks in the cause, and Mr.. and Mrs
Edward Messer, Mrs. Norton and Rudolph
Lehmicke furnished excellent vocal music.

brary association was held Saturday even
ing, Thomas Lecky acting as chairman in
the absence of the president, Fayette

the report of the treasurer, Mrs. VIM. M.
McCluer, and shows that the association
is in Furnishing condition financially:
During the year $171.23 was received for
the loan of books, and $19287 paid out.
Of this amount $111.37 was paid for new
books, $29.5O for incidental expenses and
$52, salary of librarian.
The association has now $1,000 on
deposit in the Lumbermen's National
bank.
During the year there have been no dona-
tons from the public, and the association
now proposes to appoint committee to
visit our citizens and see what can be done
towards raising fund for the erection of q
suitable. building for the library. Mrs. E.
J. Treat, librarian, having held her position
only part of the year, was unable to give the
exact number of books drawn out during
the year. The library now contains 1892
books, ninety-two Of which were added
during the past year.
The librarian was, voted the sum of $15 for
extra services in the way of rebinding and
fixing books that had become useless.
