COMPASSIONATE.

The craze for state commissions, main
tanned permanently at the expense OF
the people, is not dead. With years 1t
gains strength, and each new session of
the legislature adds to the list of state
officials from one to half dozen com
missioners. The lawmakers have gone
comnissioH-mad, or else there is an
overweening desire to provide berths
for men incapable OF earning a living
otherwise. AT the present time we have
in this state as boards or commissions:
University board of regents, state high
school board, deaf and dumb board, three
insane asylum boards. reform school com
mission, state prison board: state board of
health, fish commissioners, board of eauali-
cation, agricultural society, horticultural
society, state historical society, corrections
and charities, board Of dental examiners
board of pharmacy. state park commission,
public school commission, probate law COM
mission. railroad commission, dairy COM
mission, medical examiners.
1t is now proposed to add to these a
tax title commission and half dozen
others-the entire number to bear the
Understanding title of 'The Universal
Panacea for All Human Ills"
The state expends now $4,000 every
two years to $50 men, supposedly chosen
from the best intelligence of the COM
monWealth. for the purpose of correct
ing bad laws, or of bringing old ones
within the scope of new conditions.
Still further, to make more rigid the
application of these laws and to provide
all possible safeguards against injustice,
the state maintains tWenty-0ne COM
missions, representing 500 persons Off
ciaIly employed outside of the force in
the state capitol. And yet these in
satiate, law-stricken legislators, and
sach public sentiment as they repre-
sent, cry "More!'' Taxes increase, sal
aries increase, officials multiply; and the
people. who pay for all of this amuse-
ment, groan and groan and groan. By
all means increase the number of COM
missions, until we shall have one for
every ache and every chill, and evil be
banished by the mere opinion of half a
dozen wise politicians.

The leading Republicans here, and it
is the same all over the state, are grow
ing very restless. and the ones who
were most emphatic in declaring few
weeks ago that Mr.. Blaine woul be the
next secretary of state now express
considerable doubt.
MIR. Blaine would not again go into
the United States senate under any
consideration. Mrs. Blaine is strongly
opposed to and very recently indig-
nalltly resented such proposition.
Inc leading Republicans make no
oones OF saying openly in public that

sltiOn to Mr.. Blaine war will be de-
ZIared on him as it was on President
Hayes. During the trouble between
Mr.. Blaine and President Hayes, Sena-
tor Hale supported Hayes and con-
troiled the patronage of this state. The
relations between MIR. Blaine and Mr..
Hale were very much estranged on this
account. The belief is gaining ground
that Mr.. Blaine will not be the next
secretary of state.

HEREriCAL BOOKS.

A country newspaper Of this state
finds grave cause fer complaint i'll the
alleged fact that the economic text
books issued III the public schools con-
tain free trade doctrines, and that the
Instructors teach these doctrines. 1.-The
trouble Is" walls this journal, ''that
the majority Of teachers everywhere in
this country have received their notions
of political economy by reading the
works of JOHN STUART MILL" The
legislature is called upon to pass law
providing nOn-partisan text books for
schools.
We cheerfully indorse these views,
and with laudable desire to press the
matter suggest that the law passed
upon the subject be so framed thath
after all teachers who have read JOHN
STUART MILL be excluded from the
public schools of Minnesota unless they
expurgate from their minds all reminS-
cences Of his perniclous doctrines. Also.
we urge that the forthcoming legislature
order all of the works of JOHN STUART
MILL and the text books that advocate
less taxation and denounce Infant
Industries" as humbugS to be collected
at the states expense. When this is
done they should be heaped upon some
high elevation, the body of the editor
of the above journal placed upon them,
and while the pile slowly burns the
school children of the state be solemnly
marched past the scene. Mr.. DoNNELLY
might be induced to champion such
measure

THE WIND TANNER.

The Brooklyn lawyers and news
papers are in horrible worry to dis
cover the true meaning of new phrase
that was coined during the late po!iti-
cal campaign. A Brooklyn newspaper,
in referring to certain stump speaker.
characterized him as ga wind TANNER"
Naturally enough, the aforesaid stump
orator got mad about it, and wants to
sue the newspaper for libel, but the
difficulty is IN determining whether or
not it is a iibelous phrase. The word
s'wind jammer' is not found in the
dictionaries OF cyclopedias; therefore
there is no way to determine its exact
meaning. And yet there is something
in it wonderfully suggestive of stump
oratory. Everybody recognizes the ap-
propriateness of it, whether it has a
meaning or not. 1t is a word that has
probably came to stay, for it will not
take long-suffering public a great
while to coin a meaning for word
that fills this long-felt want in describ-
ing stump speaker.

''There will be new candidate for

r. &. Evans, of Minneapolis, said yes
terday that he thought Washburn had
the lead at present. Hehad understood
that new candidate was forthcoming,
but could not say who it might be. He
was in favor of caucus rule in
this contest, and that before the
legislature met the Republicans
should hold a caucus and maine
their nominees. The young element of
the party who had nominated Merriam
were not united upon Washburn be-
cause no effort had been made to have
them so. The speakership contest he
regarded as narrowed down to Col.

MANIFEST DESTINY.

There is a movement reported among
some of the French Cana dams in favor
of moving their country under the
stars and stripes. Manifest destiny
will, in time, lead to that contamination,
but there is no occasion for solicitation
from this side. There was time when
the cooperation of these people was
greatly desired. BENJAMIN FRANK
LIN and Father CARROLL were sent to
solicit them to join in the bre ak with
transatlantic rule about 1776. They
were not in sympathy with the religious
independence of this country, and very
unWisely declined the opportunity
which they might have enjoyed the
fruits Of for century past. Their mis-
take is apparent to them now, but
this country nroved its ability to
stand I'D against the distant power
then. and can now take in Canada and
other neighboring bailiwicks whenever
it is in the humor, without asking leave
of the old world.

THEN THERE MAY BE WAR.
For Blaine Wants to Be Secretary
OF State.


AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 20.-It is known
here positively that Mr.. Blaine wants to
be secretary of state and resume the old
position which he held under the Gar
field administration. His chief ambi-
ton is to rule the party, become the die
tator of the administration and over
shadow Gen. Harrison, for if he goes
into the cabinet it can be depended
upon that it will be his government,
even as it was when Garfield was presi-
dent. His followers in this state one
and all, from the senators TO the ward
politicians, are clamOring for his install
ment as secretary of state, and if he
fails of it howl of disappointment will
arise. His supporters realize that as
premier he will WELD almost unlimited
power in dispensing the offices, and at
this early day he has been in receipt of
many letters from prominent gentlemen
who invoke his powerful aid to assist
them into the cabinet or to some Office
which they are ambitious to obtain.
But the question now arises, will Blaine
lead the administration and be a bigger
man than Harrison for the next four
years?
1t has just leaked out here that strong
pressure has been brought to bear
by the anti-Blaine men to have the
Maine statesman appointed minister to
England, and this proposition has been
urged upon him with much determine
ton. Even Gen. Harrison has asked
him if he would not go to the court of
st. James. but he fatty refuses, and
says he will accept nothing but the
portfolio of state. He realizes that this
is nothing but scheme to lay him on
the shelf, where his influence will be
but slightly felt in the party. One of
his nearest personal friendsin speaking
of the attempt now being made to hustle
him off to England said to-day: "They
can't get rid of him that way"

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

The postmaster of prominent Ohio
town has already forwarded his resigna-
ton and that of all his clerks to Wash
ington. to take effect the early days Of
March. 1t would relieve the new adj
ministration of embarrassment and
make many Republican hearts happy If
there should be an epidemic OF this sort
among Democratic incumbents whose
terms lap over a good ways into the Re
publican civil service era. But that is
not sort of resignation likely ever to
be very prevalent with any political
sort of officeholders.

A TARIFF INCIDENT.

Lord SACKvILLE VESTS fine wines
were sold at great profit to him. Why?
Because no duty had been paid on them.
From sense of international courtesy
this government allows all goods and
chatteIs of foreign ambassadors, includ-
ing wines and cigars, to be brought IN
free of duty. This is done. however,
upon the supposition that they
are to be used in the homes
of the foreign ministers and not
to be sold at public auction, as was
the case with Lord SACKvILLE's wines.
1t is too little thing for great gov
eminent like ours to raise row about:
but if the late British minister had been
guided by a proper sense of honor. he

Whereas, A certain policeman in the dis,

Whereas, Certain lrishmen Of Fenian and
