VIM. OBrien, the Irish patriot, is
again in jail for organizing a public

his imprisonment is his refusal to allow
his friends to secure his release. He

to rot in jail to adopting such a course.
Brave and noble sentiments those, al
though they do cost him his liberty.

State geologist Winchell, in his re-

opinion that there is more iron ore in
Minnesota than in both Michigan and
Wisconsin and that the supply is almost

we expect to make use Of it ALL it is
about time to commence to utilize it
extensively. The greatness of Mime

Referring to the Australian system
of voting writer in the Century says:
Possibly the greatest gain Of all will be
found in time to be that secured through
independent nomination. This is the
straightest and deadliest blow which
has been struck at the dictatorial caucus
system. Henceforth in eight states,
any body of men. though a mere hand
full, can get their candidates names
upon the ballots and can have them
distributed at the polls on equal terms
with those Of The regular parties. Ev-
cry caucus will thus have hanging over
its deliberations the threat OF a formid-
able and easily organized Independent
movement in case its own nominations
are not satisfactory. Heretofore the
most effective obstacle to an indepen-
dent ticket has been the difficulty and
expense Of getting it distributed at the
polls.

The deep grown race hatred between
the blacks and whites in the South
broke out last week in another fight at
Gouldsboro, La, in which one white
man and several blacks were shot and
killed. A general uprising of the pc
groes is reported from Mississippi, but
this was quickly quelled by the inter
ference Of Gov. Lowry. How long this
state of affairs will continue to trouble
the South no one knows, but it is GER
tain that the whites are at fault and pos
sess the remedy. Until they rise above
this race prejudice and yield to the ne
gro his just rights. trouble is bound to
ensue, and the longer it is allowed to
brew the harder it will be to overcome.
The negroes will not always submit to
being, kept down, and the seeds, that the
whites are sowing in depriYing them of
She cure, they will reap in a swift and
bitter whirlwind of offended justice.

The trial of the Cronin case is now in
progress in the Chicago courts. Five
men stand indicted for conspiracy IN the
fearful crime, but only four will be tried
at present. The trial will>be not only
for the punishment of these men but as
well to determine whether such pro-
ceedings as are charged against the
Clan-na- Gael can be carried on in this
country. That society, it will be re-
membered, is connected with the con-
spiracy, having ordered, it is claimed,
the death of Cronin, for endeavoring to
hunt down and drive out, if not bring to
justice, certain alleged embezzlers of
funds, who stood high in the counsels Of
the organization.

The St. Peter Tribune was the first
paper in the state to mention the name
of John Lind as being in the list of CUB
ernatorial possibilities, aud it looks to
US as though it had a purpose in doing.
so. We would like very much to see
Mr.. Lind elevated to any position he is
DESTROYS Of reaching, but we think
we can see in the Tribune editorial
a scheme to coax him out Of the con
gressional race in order to make an
opening for an aspiring ST. Peter
politician. To be plain Charles r.
Davis would like to go to congress.
He knows it's impossible as long as
Mr.. Lind feels inclined to run and
therefore this sudden gubernatorial
boom. It would give him Davis
chance, he thinks. Well, perhaps it
would and perhaps it wouldn't. There
are older men than Davis who would
like to sit in the seat. SO ably filed by
Mr.. Lind, and these are only holding
off as long as Lind is candidate Da-
Wis had better wait awhile.

There is a strangeness in the way
some of the state papers treat like sub.
jects and it furnishes interesting matter
for reflection. HeatWole, of the North
field News, believes in whacking away
increasingly at our Doodle senator,
Washburn, and the crowd that are dish
ing out the federal plums, and he is
supported in his attack by the demo.
Gratis and a few republicans. These
LITTER believe howeverin going further
and are now busying themselves with
Merriam's Doodle record. But here
Heatwole's hatred ceases and he man
ages to keep perfectly mum. His case
indeed is queer one, and must have
some significance.
