STATE SENTIMENT.

''Is there country in the world more
completely in the hands of the rich than
this one?" asks the Indianapolis News.
1t is a timely question, and the reasons
why such questions are asked are well
worth considering.-Northfield News.
The St. Paul GLOBE of Monday de-
voted an entire page to boom article
for Fargo. Fargo ought to feel grateful
for the apparent interest the GLOBE is
taking in its affairs.-FeTtile journal.
The Northfeld News is raising row
because Senator Washburn and Mr..
Window, "of New York." are dictat-
ing most arbitrarily all the federal ap-
pointments in Minnesota, and it claims
that this firm is even worse than the
Democratic firm of ME and Mike"
The News is making heroic fight, but
it is useless.-Sleepy Eye Herald.
The Moorhead News, in giving the
crop prospects in different counties,
places Otter Tail at the same percentage
as Clay. Just wait and see. If the crop
in Otter Tail doesn't lay over any county
in the Red river valley. we will never
blow any more for the Park region.
Otter Tail county is going to harvest
one Of the biggest crops this year that it
ever harvested.-Fergus Falls Journal.
Faith in the Red river valley as an
agricultural country has been increased
wonderfully lately. Probably in no
other country in the world could crops
injured by drOuth recuperate so rapidly.
Crops all over this country have i'm
weeks; and, while we are not going
to have even good crop, we will be bet
ter off than last year.-Norman Index.
Tn, IN Of o1I thic bn Bio
neer Press and Tribune all published
descriptions of the hanging, describing
every movement of the prisoner, the
sheriff and his deputies. An enclosure
was made of rough bO rdS outside the
Jail, and this was perforated with auger
holes by the multitude outside, and
many were thus enabled to get good
views of everything done on the inside.
-Litchtield Review.
ST. Paul has population of 1913, PAT,
according to the report made by Polk u
Co.'s city directory. This shows an in
crease during the past four years of
81, $50 inhabitants, which is surprising.
Minneapolis, it is safe to say, will be
equal to the occasion, and undoubtedly
go st. Paul one better. No Oacity need
be ashamed of such gain in popula-
tion, and is surely sign of growing
prosperity.-Le Sueur News.
The constitutional convention of North
Dakota is wrestling with the problem
whether or not to have but: one Iegisla
tive body instead of senate and house
of representatives. We are strongly in
clined to the one legislative body. The
senate and house are in no sense a
check on the other, any more than one
member of the house is upon the other,
and both represent the people directly.

Postmaster Ankeny, of Minneapolis,
was assaulted by an offcious gate
man at the Minneapolis union
depot because he passed out through
wrong gate when the man wasn't at
tending to mis- business. People have
been wondering for some time why it is
that the most ill-mannered, diSobliging,
surly and domineerlng things in the
railroad service appear to be concen-
trated at the Minneapolis and st. Paul
union depotS.-Dakota Tribune.
A number of libel suits have been de-
cided in favor of the st. Paul DAILY
GLOBE, the New York World and other
daily newspapers during the past month.
The suits were brought against the pa
perS generally with a view to obtaining
damages for the uncovering of personal
records that would not stand the light.
Nine out of every ten such suits are de-
cided in favor of the defendant. No
newspaper, as rule, seeks to malicious
ly injure a PERSONS reputation, but
when his actions on record need an air
ing for the public benefit, the accused
party can generally reckon that it will
be Observation-Disclosures Record.
About the only thing at issue be-
tween the Democrat and Republican
parties at the present time seems to be
the spoils of Office. Those high up in
political circles are constantly quarrel
ing about them. and they should not
feel put out if the lesser lights follow
their ilIustrious example. Viewed from
this standpoint, it is high time that Lac
qui Parle county, county that polls
three Republican votes to one Demo-
cratic, should be getting something. If
she can't get it under this administra-
ton she had better turn her forces over
to the Democrats.-Lae qui Parle
