STATE SENTIMENT.

The st. Paul GLOBE had an interest
ing article on the dairy commissioner
and his department in last Sundays
issue, which was accompanied by a
really excellent picture of Dairy Com
missioner Ives, of Observation-Disclosures
Enterprise. ;
While the editors are discussing what
shall be the national flower, we rise to
suggest that when the two political
parties come to select theirs that the
Republican party consider the claims OF
lilac On the tariff and the reform of
the civil service that party has shown
its ability to lilac Administrations
Argus.
Politics in this state during the last
two years has been stepped in corrup-
ton. Is it going to cease? Hardly,
when we consider that such methods
were crowned with almost spotless
halo of success. In our humble Opin-
ion, money will continue to be all
powerful in Minnesota politics until the
people rebuke monetary political meth
DDS with their yotes.-Grant Herald.
1t would be long step towards prac-
tical temperance were the screens re-
moved from saloon doors and windows
and no chairs, billiard or card tables al
lowed in the room, Then sell the liquor
from a window like the stamp window
in a postoffice and sell it only to be
drank on the premises. Treating and
salOon-loafing would disappear and we
believe drunkenness and the Prohibi-
ton party would go alSO.-HutchlnSOn
Leader.
The sublimity of wisdom was only
reached by the late legislature when it
passed the law requiring the owner of
cow or two to take out license before
selling milk to his neighbors. The pen
atty for neglect to do so is fixed at $40
for the first offense, $50 for the second
and imprisonment for the third. The
author of such law ought to be kicked
to death by bob-tailed COW in fly time.
Dawson Sentinel.
Senator Washburn denies the state
ment going the rounds of the press to
the effect that he Stigmatized the late
legislature ''as the most corrupt one in
the history of the state" We never
believed the senator made such re-
mark. 1t would have been unkind in
him to have uttered such an assertion.
Still, Notwithstanding the senator's de-
NAL, large number of people enter
tain the idea that remark of this
character might truthfully have been
made.-Winnebag0 Press.
Senator Washburn has returned to
Minnesota, and opened up to a reporter
long enough to tell him that he never
said all of those bad things, attributed
to him, about the Minnesota legislature.
Well, worse and more of it. If he
knows that they were true, and if he
didn't say them, he should have said
them; and if he did say them and now
denies it, he was false then or is now.
Take it all in all, Washburn is dandy.
We admire him for one thing, however,
and that is his nerve. His gall is WON
derful.-St. Peter Herald.
Talk about inefficient railway mail
service under Cleveland's administra-
ton. 1t is ten times more inefficient
now than ever before. Here in Prince
ton, few months ago. mail matter was
received from st. Paul inside of forty
eight hours-the distance is less than
sixty miles-now we consider ourselves
lucky if letter arrives from st. Paul
within week from the time it is writ
ten. 1t is no uncommon thing to re-
ceive the St. Paul and Minneapolis daily
papers of three different dates ON the
same day. There is OF can be no excuse
for such damnable ficiency.-Prince-
ton Union.
