Senator Sabin offered big reward if his
interview should be correctly reported in the
Tribune. He offered to buy two papers. He
was thus reckless because he knew he would
never, under the terms, be called upon to
make the expenditure.
Now that he has gone out of the business,
ex-Iuspector Burdick has been telling re-
porter what he knows of Minnesota wheat
grading. The Market Record says: 1T Is
pretty generally believed that Gov. McGili

state warehouse commission. Mr.. Burdick
mourns ever the probability of change, and
said that nobody denies the intelligence or
honesty of the prestent commission
ers. II it is meant by Intelligence
that they have q large fund OF
grading that might be utilized for the benefit
of the people, then Mr.. Burdick is clearly
wrong in saying that nobody doubts their in
telligence, etc. That they know more about
grain grading and what is neeCed to perfect
the warehouse law than they did when APP
pointed, no one will Seriously question, but
that they have acquired that practical knowl-
edge of what is needed to bring the opera

doubt. The late inspector is evidently in q
tremor, the fear being that Minneapolis or
the grargers or possibly both may want an
amended grain law. Why that should so Sc
riously affect the exinspector as to induce
him to seek an interviewer to spread his opin-
ions is not quite PLAIN. There are some ex-
cellent features in the law as it stands, but it
should be amended in several points TINS WIN
ter.

A Minneapolis firm of printers bought and
printed for the Republican County committee
15,0 900 postal cards to be used in notifying Re
eubIicans in this city that they were not reg
