Gov. Hill has sailed into his cam

cruelty referring to his encyclopedia
tendencies, and it is now Cleveland's
turn to bestir himself. There are
many points in the governors record
that might be assailed, and considerable
of fight could be carried on to the en-
joyment of the republicans. They are
the only parties that would get anything
out of the quarrel, for neither Cleve-
land or Hill will ever become president.
Tie bitter feeling between themselves
settles that. The only effects of a fight
would be to amuse others and prove
their relative strength, and fol the sake
of the latter it might be worth while to
endure it.

The Winnebego City Press-News don't
know good thing when it sees it. To
prove it, this is the way it talks of John
Lind:
Mr.. Lind had two terms in congress.
He has no more claim on the district
Adler men in his party were ruthlessly
set aside by Second district conventions
in order to crafty the yanlting mbition
y Of Congressman Lind and his friends.
These men, side-tracked, so to speak,
surely have rig hts thatcannot with SAFE
ty, or at least should not longer be dis
regarded. That class who admire men
of the John Lind stamp have had four
year of his reign-certainly an ample
period TO bow down to any idol in a
land where hero worship does, or at
least is supposed not to play any impor-
tant part. In this particular section
of the Second district, Mr.. Lind was
never prime faYorite, and at present
almost an open hostility exists against
him.
This is about as bungled and mislead-
ing a statement as we have yet seen.
What if Mr.. Lind has had two terms?
Does that disqualifY him or cut off his
claim on the district? And when the
Press News says that ADLER men were
set aside to give place to John Lind, it
don't adhere to the truth. There are
none ADLER or more willing to serve the
district Perhaps there are those, that
the News knows Of, who could do bet
ter by themselves at Washington than
Mr.. Lind, but there are none who could
better represent the people. Perhaps
with those Mr.. Lind never was '.prime
favorite" but we say, give Lind his due
and, if he wants it. give him another
term.

compelled to work for honors now.
An office should be his without the ask
ing. And, by the way, what has be-
come of that consulate.
Why so fat and important an Office
as the Internal Revenue Collectorship
remains in Democratic control is a mys-
terry to the friends of Senator G. X.
Davis and Col. j. G. Donahower.-ST.
PETER TRIBUNE.
We thought that mystery was solved
long ago in the objection of Mr.. Wash
burn to recommend Donahower and the
refusal of Davis to give up his man.
The fact that the office is still held by
democrat is due as much to the latter
as anybody else. He still hold outs in
behalf of Donahower and we admire
him for it. Believing that all things
come to him who waits, we are willing
to let a democrat hold over for time
in order that Donahower may succeed.
The New Ulm Review, one of our
many esteemed and able state ex-
changes, does not seem to fully grasp
our position in criticizing Southern
Minnesota for its vehement kick at
Twin City dailies. 1t says:
The Midway News, in an effort to
free the St. Paul dailies from the awk-
ward position in which they have placed
themselves by booming Dakota and
Northern Minnesota while Southern
Minnesota goes neglected, says that
the whole matter is strictly business
affair and that the reason Southern
Minnesota don't get her share of puts
is because she don't pay for them. This
may be true enough in that our cities
don't furnish the dailies with big write
ups and pay big money for them, but
it's pretty thanks to return for the
solid wealth that has flowed and con-
tinues to flow into the Golfers Of the
St. Paul and Minneapolis papers from
the towns of Southern Minnesota. It
is not because they receive nothing
from this part of the state that they are
neglectful, for, if the income there
from was suddenly cut off, the favor
with which they would court it would
be surprising, but it is because the kick
against their partiality to other dis.
tricts has not been strong enough, that
they have grown independent and I'M
accommodating towards their best pat
rons. Southern Minnesota ought to
have pretty large credit account with
these sane papers by this time and it
is unkind in the Midway News to say
she don't pay for her puffs. At present
she is paying too much.
The Midway News makes no effort
to free any one from awkward posi-
tons. The Midway News simply OBJ
serves current affairs and expresses it.
self freely and frankly. If Southern
Minnesota is, directly or Indirectly,
paying for puts in Twin City dailies
which are unjustly given to Dakota, it
simply shows that Southern Minnesota
is unwise. If Southern Minnesota is
really pursuing an unWise course in
flowing her solid wealth into the Golfers
of St. Paul and Minneapolis papers,
there can be no unkindness in the Mid
way News, whose business tits to men

fault lies with Southern Minnesota. If
Southern Minnesota is disposed to
