A WASHINGTON dispatch in Saturday,
Pioneer Press, says that it is reported in
the capitol city that the president has
received letter from Senator Sabir
pledging his support to the administra
ton i'm the confirmation of appointments
next winter. The inconsistency of any
such declaration upon the part of Sena
tor Sabin is shown i'm the fact that nC
occasion has rs yet appeared where q
Republican senator need commit him
self to any such policy, and it will take
better evidence than the report of wild
newspaper rumOrs to convince the PEG.
pie of Minnesota that Mr.. Sabin is guilty
of any such mastery folly as this. This
is not the first time that an effort has
been made To show Mr. Sabin in sympa-
thy with the presidents policy, but as
yet they all lack confirmation. The adj
ministration, through its utter disregard
of the professed principles of the presi-
dent. is getting profoundly "shaky"
over the probable action of the Senate
next winter, and it il trying every de-
vice known to the ingenuity of man and
the imagination of mind 10 lead the pub
lie Ia believe certain Republicans are
satisfied with the action of the execu-
tive. 1t will not work. The Republi-
cans have u party of their own as yet,

THAT BURLEsQUE.

The so-ellled Boston Ideal Comedy,
Sketch and Glee Club" nothing lacking
in name) made an effort to give an en-
tertaiment at the Opera House Wednes-
day evening. II was the worst snide OF
II company that ever disgracad the dra-
matte stage. Fortunately small num-
her of people were present, but the
farce actors succeeded admirably IN dis
gushing every one present and upon the
first drop of the curtain large portion
in the house vacated. They were ad-
vertised for Thursday night also, but to
the credit Of the Opera House Co. be ii
said the doors were closed against them.
While the Opera folks are not to blame
for letting such snide troupe in their
house, il nevertheless operates against
their interests, for after the public il
gulled once or twice by such companies,
people become rather suspicious, and
deserving entertainments are made to
suffer from lack of patronage. In future
the Opera House managers will do well
10 know the character of the troupes ap.
plying for engagements before making
contracts.

THE STATE FAIR,

The action of the State Legislature last
winter in appropriating SlO0,OOO for the
erection of buildings and improvement
of the grounds donated by Ramsey
county for State fair purposes
was very generally criticised by the
country press IA well IA by the
rural residents of the State, and con-
siderable Indignation was manifest
against Gov. Hubbard forapprOving this
appropriation and vetoing those made
i'm the interest of some of our State
educational institutions. THE FREE
Press was one of those papers that spoke
its mind freely upon the matter, and
while not opposed Ia the appropriation
for the improvements of the State fair
grounds when the condition of the
treasury would permit without leopard
iZing or paralyZing our educational in
terests, il felt that the fair appropriation
conld as well a. not he laid over for IA
couple of years, in order Ia help the
schools ont. While this was literally
true, in common with every person who
attended the first great exhibit upon the
new grounds, our conversion to the Wis
dom and foresight of the Legislative act
with which To cement for Minnesota
permanent agricultural grounds, is free
" acknowledged. The location ia not
only easy of access, but IL is the hand
soonest plot Of ground in all the West or
Northwest for such purposes IA it has
been dedicated. There will he no further
unfavorable comment toward members
Of the Legislature for the part they have
taken i'm this matter by those who took
the opportunity of attending the best
show ever made by any agricultural so
ciety in the Northwest.
The show Of horses and cattle WAS
never excelled in this country, while
the main building was filed TO its limit
with attractive articles Of every nature.
The agricultural implement display was
magnificent, the butter department was
complete, and the display of farm pro-
duce was munificent and grand. Min
nesota may well feel proud of her State
fair and it's management.

TnE First Assistant Postmaster Gener-
ri, through his notion of filling Offices as
in the anii-bellnm days Of the old Dem
ocratic party, is winning golden opinions
from his party friends in all parts Of the
country. He minces moi with the civil
service law, neither does hc recognize
the grumblings of the mug wumps, but
goes straight ahead filling the offices un-
der his control with straight out Demo
Gratis. This ~ Il return Ia the old system,
and the policy is vastly more honest and
straightforward than that first pursued
by the Department. He does not ask
that an incumbent be convicted Of "of-
fensive craftsmanship" but the fact that
a Republican is holding postofiice is
sufficient for his purpose.
