Judge David Davis, whose Judgment

Judge David Davis, whose Judgment
upon any important problem was seldom
questioned, expressed his views as follows
regarding the value of the village journal:
Each year every local paper gives from
500 to S., 900 in free lines for the bene-
fit of the community in whichit is located.
No other agency can or will do this.
The local editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his town than any
ten men, and in all fairness, man to man,
ne ought to be supported, not because
you happen to like him or admire his
writings, but because local paper is the
best investment that community can
make. 1t may not be brilliant or crowded
with great thought, but financially it is
more of a benefit than teacher or a
preacher. Understand us now; we do not
mean morally or intellectually, but
financially, and yet on the moral question
you will find the majority of the local
news papers on the right side. To-day
the editors of local papers do the most
work for the least money of many men
on earth.

Ayers Sarsaparilla is prescribed and

, The st. Paul Pioneer Press is out in fa-
vor of the consolidation of St. Paul and
Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Tribune,
on the other hand, is dead against it. In
the meantime the two cities are gradual
ly growing nearer to each other every
year. 1t will be interesting to see what
they will do when they meet. Will they
telescope each other, or will they with
draw and grow somewhere else? We
could believe that they would peacefully
consolidate when they come to the meet
| ing point, were it not for the impossible
ity of imagining either one of them drop
ping it's distinctive name. 1t is true they
| might retain both names, connecting
them by hyphen after the time-honored
| western manner. But the question
| would then arise which name should be
used first; and on that question we fear
much rich northwestern blood would be
shed. So that "St. Paul Minneapolis
and "Minneapols-St. Paul. are both
ruled out. There remains the possibility
of devising combination name such as
"St. Minnepaul," or ''Minneasaint," or
"Polispaul' or "Polepolis, but even this
would probably not be satisfactory to
all. Verify the problem is hard one to
solve.-New York Tribune.

The Anoka Union makes the statement
that Hon. Knute Nelson was democrat
before coming to Minnesota, and that
his recent political alterations are due
to his determination to return to his
first love. Certainly Knute seems drift

Just how he can maintain his party equi-

a question of denomination we rather
think that the democratic end of Mr..

more enthusiastic than the republican
end.-EVeningJ Journal

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and baffled the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not irnme
diately fatal it is among the most dis
tressing, nauseous and disgusting ills the

few or no cases of radical cures of chronic
catarrh by any Of the multitude Of modes
of treatment until the introduction sof
Ely's Cream Balm few years ago. The
success Of this preparation has been most
gratifying and surprising.

THE republican counties Of the second
congressional district, the one located in
the southwestern part of the state, are
justly indignant that their claims are not
more literally recognized-rather, that
they are totally ignored in the distribu-
tion Of political honors. 1t is the present
purpose Of the republican, leaders there to
present a solid front in the next state
convention, and demand recognition if
nothing more, Speaking of the republi-
can counties, the Worthington Globe
says:
"rhese fourteen counties are considered
good for voting purposes, but not for any
other. There are quite number of men
holding good positions, either elected or
appointed from the second congressional
single exception they are all taken from
the six counties which gave democratic
majorities, and more than half of them
are from Blue Earth county. These DO
sitions are all charged to the second con-
make the district republican have no
places. Let the fourteen counties men
toned above decide to act together at
the next state convention of the republi-
can party. Let them elect good men as
delegates-not men who are willing to
attend because some candidate is willing
to pay their expenses-but men who are
not committed to any set of politicians,
who are willing to act for the general
good of all, and not in the interest of a
few. Let these delegates get together
and decide upon course ofaction; then
vote as unit. If necessary combine
with the delegates from the fifth district.
Then the counties which are expected to
elect the republican ticket can dictate as
to who shall be selected to fill the impor-
tant positions, and secure recognition
hereafter.
The fifth district might well be proud
of a. alliance with the class of repubE-
eeans WHO have contributed SO much to
fhesuecess n the party in the state.

1t makes little difference where the con-
