GOOD SENSE.

Pioneer Press: If it is thought that the
place Of Minnesota in the Republican
column warrants the selection of certain
high officers from this state, then men
whose fitness is admitted should be
named without further ado. What will
best satisfy the people of the state and
most tend to unite and encourage the
party is the nomination Of men of high
character and recognized ability to
places of public trust. If there is any
thing that can disorganize the state and
fritter away its magnificent Republican
majority, it is petty contest over local
spoils and the pickering and haggling of
rivals over bits of federal patronage.
When it comes to setting aside a good
man because Minnesota is reputed to be
unable to agree upon anything, it is time
for the administration to frown upon To-
cal disagreements; not by postponing
necessary appointments, but by ignoring
the contestants altogether and acting
upon its own judgment of what is best
for the public service. There is no filter
candidate for commissioner of pensions
than Judge Rea of Minnesota, and it is
time that fitness alone should be taken
into consideration in making future APP
pointments from this state.

THIS Is SARCASTIC.

Minneapolis Journal: A correspond
ent writes with reference to the sugges-
ton that we ought to have regular bull
fight on the fair grounds next year,
that he does not want to see the fair
take any steps backward. He says he
regards lvnching as long wav ahead
of bull fight for spectacular interest,"
and real blood-curdling effect and he
suggests, on the principle that We can't
have too much of a good thing, and il
the management can not add to its NOR
al show in any other way, they might
have two men lynched instead of one.
His idea is that what the people want
is something narrowing, and the more
gore the better. The suggestion is COM
mended to the consideration OF the
management of the fair, with the hope
that it may be of service TO them.

proposition but stated that his

and also that the partner would be

Col. Mingle intimated that they
would require the loan of about

Such an institution would
give farmers good market for

no reason why there should not be
