STATE COMMENT.

Gov. Merriam is the target for many
editorial shafts of late. He is fortunate
in having the attacks come at this time:
there is likely to be a reaction in his
favor afterWard.-WaSeca North Star.
There is nothing better in the news
paper line in Minnesota than the st.
Paul GLOBE. Its editorials are both in
dependent and fair. We hope it will
continue its present course through the
next campaign.-Hutchinso Leader.
Ex-Goy. McGill was present and made
a speech at the dedication of Swedish
Lutheran cemetery at Minneapolis Sun
day. A wicked exchange says that it
was political speech and that he was
trying to get solid with the Serndina-
vianS.-Sibley Independent.
Mr.. Seheffer has large following in
| Jackson county, and should he become
a candidate would poll an immense
vote in this locality. Men who were
opposed to him last fall would do stall

A few state papers are bowling
"Justice to McGill." He had all the
Justice he was entitled to at the last
out in exactly the right proportion, and
its effect was admirable-a gentle lay
ing on the top shelf.-Willmar Argus.
1t is noticeable fact that most of the
Republican newspapers who supported
Merriam for governor so StrenuOusly
during the last campaign have changed
their ideas in regard to that most worthy
parsonage and are denOuncing him as
an autoerat from the word go.-Wadena
Tribune.
The military of the state was re-
viewed by Gov. Merriam Tuesday at
the state fair. In about year from
now the order of things will be re-
yerSed, and Gov. Merriam will pass in
review before the military and civil
forces OF the state. We fear he will not
make as creditable showing as did the
boys in blue at the late show.-Still-
water Democrat.
The suggestion of the Jackson Repub-
lie to make Joel Heatwole our next
governor is good one, and will have
our approval if Mr.. Heatwole will
promise openly and above board to APP

The Minneapolis Tribune intimates
with considerable concern that the Vir-
gina treasury is liable TO be in bad
condition when the Democrats leave.
Yes, when such an extraordinary event
takes place. something out of the Ordi-
nary may be expected to occur. But,
by the way, has the Tribune forgotten
the depleted treasury and the democrat

that the G.. q. L. of Minnesota had to
offer the people of this state some time
since?-Canton Herald.
We refer to Mr.. Byrnes. president of
the state Republican league, appoint
ment clerk in the treasury department.
There has been such deal of enlarge
ment upon the functions of that office
as proves one of two things. Either the
correspondents of their own motion are
