STATE KICKS.

A st. Paul man has won prize fight,
and for the time being the legislature
must not expect much consideration
from the wspapers.-Duluth Tribune.
If reapportionment fails this session,
the fur will fly, two years hence, in an
endeavor to place the responsibility
where it belongs. Trans
cript.
The anxiety manifested by the Min
nesota senate to preserve its dignity
would be we'll illustrated by pauper
worrying about his property.-Owa-
tonna Journal.
If the Republican party have any
thing to be proud of in the gang con-
gregated in the state house at st. Paul,
we would like to know what it is. They
are mostly On the make.-JackSon Re-
public.
Shoot that salary bill of McNelly's.
Shoot it on the spot and kill it too dead
to skin. And if the author of it whinces
remind him of his vote On the oil in
spection reform bill. That will do him
up.-Brownville News.
We have been reading the daily
papers continually of late for the pur-
pose of trying to find out what our leg
islature is doing. Isn't it about time,
gentlemen, that you should try the Gin
cinnatus act?-Red Lake Falls News.
The heightened session has been pro-
ductive of much good, in that all meas
ures introduced have received closer at
tention and more careful consideration,
and, if it contained any doubtful feat
ures they have been discovered and
liminated.-Dakota County Tribune.
We are panied to see our usually af-
fable senator taking such a gloomy
view of the world as he does this win
ter. From the character of the major
ity of the bills he has introduced one
cannot help thinking that he is firm
believer in the doctrine of total depray-
ty.-Winnebago City News.
The present state legislature has
made up for some of its shortcomings
by killing the Duluth & Winnipeg land
bill. 1t was intended to be terrible
steal from the state, but the legislature
very wisely sat down upon it, and sat
down hard, too. Gentlemen, you did
nObly.-Granite Falls Journal.
At st. Paul last week the legislature
was again devOting much of its time to
talk of bribery and Doodle. If the
session had not been extended thirty
days the poor representatives of the
people would not have had time to
make all of their accusations. 1t comes
dria Post.
1t is safe to assume that men of I'M
questioned integrity are never offered
brides. and only those to whom offers
have been made are likely to know that
bribery is extant. Hence the members
who protest most loudly do protest too
much. Let the charges be made spe-
cific and then proven, or let us hear no
more of such talk.-St Peter Tribune.
The Minnesota legislature has caught
ittright and left this winter from the
newspapers. Some have gone out of
their way to attack it, publishing that
what is not true. In many cases this
wholesale condemnation is the result of
hostility and enmity to some membe
This is wrong and should be stopped, as
itydisgraces the papers as well as the
state.-Spring Valley Mercury.
The most improbable thing about it
islthat the keeper of any respectable
hosiery, or any sensible or prudent
host in ''the great unknown" (by which
UNEMPLOYED region at the head of Salt
river would set out golden goblets or a
golden table within reach of the Mime
sofa senate. That might be a very hos
pitable thing to do, but it certainly
wouldn't be prudent.-Rock County
Herald.
The strange story comes from West
Virginia of a boy who was an imbeciIe
from birth being struck with a sandbag
lately, the shock restoring his senses.
The Democrat would now move with
all seriousness that our state militia be
at once armed with sandbags and
ordered to move without delay upon
our state legislature. We cannot afford
to lose an opportunity of this kind for
the promotion of practical charity
Steele Democrat.
The people are in an unproSperous
condition, and are unable to bear, with
out great and injurious strain, the bur-
den of increased and unnecessary taxa
ton, but the legislature is heaping it on
in multitudinous ways. The people
who would see themselves in repre-
sentative image legislating for their
own welfare. behold result fraught
with evil worse than droughts and
floods, chinch bugs and grasshoppers.
''Gorgons, hydras, and chimeras dire"
-Hokah Chief.
The people of this senatorial district
have love for Ole Bull Sampson, like
unto which was never known before.
At Crookston the other day when it was
learned how he had bucked against the
interest of his constituents cartoon
