STATE SENTIMEN +.

If nothing else, it certainly shows
weakness and inconsistency among the
Republican editors of the state to be
continually harping over Gov. Merriam's
Doodle record, especially when they
supported him for the office last fall
New Ulm Review.
Gov. Merriam is just now the target
for large share of unfavorable COM
ment from Republican state papers.
Be careful, boys; some of you are likely
to have large dish of crow to masticate
when the checks are distributed year
henee.-Crookston Times.
The Tribune-doeS not discover-the
name of-Maj. EdwardS-among the
splendid array of-politieal talent-ad-
vertiSed to address an-intelligent con-
stituency-on the stump in North Da-
kOta-this fall. Can it be that the
majors patTiotiSm-waneS-aS his cor

A few itching politicians are seeking
the removal of Postmaster. Ankeny, of
Minneapolis, for technical reasons under
the civil service law, but chiefly be-
cause he is a Democrat and they want
the office. Mr.. Ankeny is a model Off
Ger. and the best Republicans of the
city lndorse him and are opposed to any
change until his term eXpires.-Free-
born Standard.
Those who desire better say goodbye
to the inspection on the hoof law, as it
seems to be doomed. Judge Nelson. of
the United States court, on Monday de-
clared the much-discussed law as being
unconstitutional, from the fact that it
interfered with commerce between the
several states. This action will proba-
bly, make boom in lumpy jawed cattle
once more.-Albert Lea Enterprise.
President Bushnell of the State Agrf-
cultural society, says he worked like a
slave for the good of the state fair, and
that he did so without thought of pO-
litical advantages; that he never had a
political hair in his head, and thanks
God that he never shall have. 1t is re-
freshing to find one man who is not fig
uring for a boost up the political ladder
through work done for the state fair
Willmar Republican.
Thomas Lowry, the street railway
magnate of st. Paul and Minneapolis.
has been elected president of the 800"
railroad in place of Senator Washburn,
deposed. Having conquered everything
in st. Paul and Minneapolis, including
the councils of the respective cities,
Thomas, like Napoleon, is looking for
new worlds to conquer, and like him,
he may find his Waterloo in the 800"
Fisher Bulletin.
Hon. John Day Smith thought he was
doing something smart when he intro
duced the bill in the last legislature to
forbid newspapers from publishing de-
tailed reports of hangings and to re-
onire executions to be made at night
Not a single paper in the state has paid
any attention to this unconstitutional
attempt TO restrict the freedom of the
press except to ridicule and defy John
Day Smith. Smith remains so shady
that he will soon be known as John
Midnight Smith.-St. Peter Tribune.
Some of our newspaper brethren are
having monkey and parrot time about
GOV. Merriam, one lot averring that
those who supported him were bought
up. while the latter get back at them by
reiortiRg that the first are kicking be-
cause they were moi bought New for
one we not believe either story; the
newspapers were hot in the market, it
