Nelson's House bill to open to SET
tlement the Red Lake Reservation in
Northern Minnesota $1,000, 900 acresl
will be reported favorably.
The warden of the State Prison at
Saltwater, says the prisoners behaved
themselves creditably during the late
troubles caused by the destruction
of the prison hy fire.

except such as are imposed for strict
ly revenue purposes.
Ten thousand Scandinaviane will
settle in Minnesota during the present

rather bad for Mr.. G. F. Kindretf-s

In consequence of the post ponement
Of action, by the Board of Trade upon
the question of the Commercial

comments until our next issue, as W"

A table published in yesterdays
Pioneer Press giving the per capita
cost Of keeping the poor in the diff
| ferent counties of this State, shows
that it is 10.7 in Stevens County as

contains the smallest number of DEM
ocrats, and three from each Of the
other four districts.
Mcmillan will not retire on account
of Sabin's objection to Davis as his
successor. No one can blame Sabin
for objecting. The contrast would
be painful to both Davis and Sabin.
We admire Governor Huhbards pluck
however, in declining to act on the

Governor acted wisely in showing the
Senator that he could not do so.

. fold his tent and steal silently away.
Wasburne wants to be Governor,
Loren.
Minnesota had a solid delegation in
the House on the Porter question.

sentence Of a packed court-martial-
| and got it too, but not from such
: near-sighted mediocrity as our repre-
sentatives in Congress are the type of.
J Senator Mcpherson electrified that
staid and respectable body, the u. s.
Senate, last week. by stating few
plain facts about the present secretary
of the navy, Chandler. The senate,
