STATE SENTIMENT.


newspapers which are publishing the
sensational evidence against the asylum
management have neglected to publish
any of the evidence offered in behalf of
the defense. The attorney general. who
is conducting the evidence for the state,
says that the GLOBE is the only paper
which has been anywhere near fair in
publishing the testimony favorable to
the management. Gen. Clapp is going
to the bottom of the case, but he knows
fairness when he sees it.-Fergus Falls
Journal.
1t is now feared by host of friends
OF Maj. Newson, OF st, Paul, that not
Withstanding he was Endorsed by al
most every editor and newspaper man
in the state. and goodly number out
side of it, for an appointment as consul,
he is apt to be left out.-Sauk Rapids
Sentinel.
The members of the United States
senate are supposed to represent the
different states in their organized ca
pacity, though this suppOSition is now
little more than venerable fiction. A
state senate, however. has no similar
reason for existence. Its members do
not stand for any particular class of
citizens nor for any organized divisions
of the state. They are elected by the
same voters, in the same way, and they
represent the same interests, and are
subject to the same influences as the
members of the house of representa-
tiyes. Virtually the two houses are
one, though divided by constitutional
line. They are separate neither in
sentiment, in affiliations, in education,
nor in legislative duty or purpose. A
ctotn pViSts a1r1nct cNIa1Hy hu
tation, for which there is no sufficient
reason. 1t is to be hoped that North
Dakota will be courageous enough to
try the experiment of getting along
without one.-WinoDa Herald.
Joel Heatwole, of the Mortified
News. is making a brave fight against
the "new growth of the Republican ring
rule" which is springing up in this
state. He is a brave and valiant knight
errant, and does not hesitate to flourish
his lance in the face of senators and
cabinet officers. He sees in the manip-
ulations of Minnesota appointments
signs of movement for the defeat of
Senator Davis, ''the friend of the coun-
try DISTRICTS" and the election of Win
dom, sat one time resident of Mime
sofa. st. Cloud Times.
The st. Paul GLOBE has an editorial
headed THE Fourth-Class Post0ffices."
We should be pleased to know what the
Democrats have to do with the fourth
class StofficeS-eXcept to drop out of
them as fast as the machine clips off
their heads.-Mankato Free Press.
About the only appointments that
have got away from st. Paul have gone
to Minneapolis and vice versa, so that it
seems the twins have formed a trust to
gobble all the federal offices of the state.
The result will be dissatisfaction and
decentralization to the party entirely I'M
necessary. Senator Davis seems to be
unfortunate in recommending men, and
in the meantime Senator Washburn and
Secretary Window rush to the front and
secure the places for Minneapolis and
st. Paul men.-AlbertL Lea Enterprise.
t'On to ST. Peter" is the war cry of
many papers in the state possessing
more zeal than common sense. ''0n to
RichmOndH' of which it is the echo, is
very familiar 10 the recollection of a
quarter century gone, and that cry alone
of the fool newspapers cost more than
100000 human lives worse than wasted
in blind obedience to popular clamor.-
Paramount News.
The close observer in state politics
already asks himself, Has the ring
making business begun again in Mime
seta?" It's generally believed that a
combination is being formed to defeat
Davis, the friend of the country dis
tricts. An attempt will doubtless be
made to create prejudice against him
by taking away from him as much pat
ronage as possible, and when enough
opposition has appeared OH the surface
to indicate his defeat, "Windom, of New
York." or some friend Of the com
bine" will be sprung upon the public.
The News is in position to know some
thing of what is going on in this state
and at ngton.-Northfeld News.
1t is said that after Congre ssman Cox,
who has travelled over Europe and this
country, and has an eye for the beauti-
full, had taken ride over Summit ave-
hue, St. Paul, and looked down from
the eminence on the city at his feet, he
said there was only one more beautiful
place, and that was paradise. No one
who visits st. Paul should fail TO see
Summit avenue, 100 feet wide between
sidewalks, with its boulevards and its
asphalt pavement. 1t is the grandest
avenue of any city in the world.-Le
Sneur Sentinel.
At no time was Minnesota more at
the mercy of the money power in con-
greSS and national councils. With
Window, of New Y ork, great railroad
magnate, in the treasury, and Wash
burn. great railroad president, in the
senate. the money ring of Minnesota
can and is controlling the entire party
patronage. With the exceptions Of
Doc Leonard and Col. Edwards, the
great money centers of st. Paul and
Minneapolis have secured most of the
patronage of the state.-Windom Re-
porter.
1t would be a good stroke of policy for
the managers of the coming state fair to
secure Joel P. Hedtwole, of the North
field News, for one of the attractions,
advertising him as the greatest living
opponent of the Twin cities. Wonder
what Heatwole would charge for the
week. -Mankato Register.
