STATE SENTIMENT.

It has been observed that it is COM
mon thing for successful aSpirantS for
office in Minnesota to go to the wall,
financially, after election. There are
several notable examples. And few
politicians who have not been eminent
ly successful have done the same thing.
-Verndale Journal.
The government is for the people and
by the people, and no one-man policy
will be tolerated in Minnesota. says the
Mortified News, and it goes right along
trying to build up One-man dynasty on
the ruins of the one smashed in the late
campaign, with Heatwole as the key
stone.-St. James Journal.
The days of hide-bound partisanship
are at an end in Minnesota, says wild
eyed editor at Glencoe. Yes, they are,
in horn. Just SO long as men can be
Influenced by promises of favor or re-
ward, so long will there be henchman,
and just SO long will there be political
tyrantS to crack strong party whip.
That kind of talk is good after Novem-
Der, but few think of it during the cam
paign.-St. Peter Herald.
Brother Dunn, of the Princeton
Union, is making war on high tariff, and
supporting the Republican party. This
is decidedly peculiar position, and yet
there are hundreds of Republicans, like
Dunn, who adhere to their party be-
cause of long affiliatiOn with it, and yet
are bitterly opposed to the tariff. There
is no principle in such position weak
ness of spine keeps them in line.-St.
Cloud Times.
Instead of accepting things as he
found them the Hon. Mr. Hall flew mad
and denounced the whole thing winding
I'D with what means ITO the victor be-
longs the spoilS." Mr.. H., it is alleged
is in fair way to discover other matters
and his friends opne that before he gets
through with his present term as con-
gresham he will learn something.
Third district Republicans hope the last
statement may prove true, but some Of
them doubt it.-Sleepy Eye Herald.
The subject of irrigation IN Dakota is
attracting considerable attention just
now. Dakota needs water in more ways
than one. Water would do a large
amount of good to her lands, but it
of good if more of the pure article
flowed down the throats of her politi-
clans in place of the bad booze which
now takes precedence. While the
United States senate is wrestling with
the one the W. G. L. U. is struggling
with the other. Our voice is with the
latter. May they get there first
Moorhead News.
The Montevideo Leader thinks we
are inclined to be just little mug
wumpish. Well, the Leader may call it
anything it may see fit, but the present
bent of the Republican party don't suit
us, and we don't propose to go the way
the present leaders of the g. o. p. are
travelling. The legislature was run by
a whisky lobby. If you wanted to get a
measure through the whisky element
had to be promised something, and they
got that promise every time. So much
for the Republican party in the state
and in national affairs it is little better.

When the man whose leg had Just
been broken by fall was told that he
| ought to be thankful, for he might have
broken his neck, he must have felt
about as highly pleased as Third dis
trict Republican who had read the re-
ported remarks Of Congressman d. S.
Hall on the civil service law would be if
he afterwards came across the observa-
tionS of Congressman Perkins. of Kan
sas, on the same subject. Positively,
we declare that in the ability to expose
himself mortifyingly. our congressman
does not take first place, But let both
be silent and pray that the disgust of
the next campaign may be agreeable
