LeSueur Sentinel:

LeSueur Sentinel:
Judge Edgerton, of South Dakota.
is now a candidate for the Z. S. Dis
trict Judge in that State We believe
we have the original telegram sent
us in 1860, announcing the nominal
ton of John c. Breckenridge for
President, at Baltimore, with the
name of EdgertOn as one of the
Democratic delegates who voted for
him. Since then Edgerton has al
most continuously been Republican,
ofice-holder or office-seeker.
Judge Edgerton is not only politi-
cal worm wiring it's way into any
political fold which will run political
feed but through his ventral column,
but heis a traitor to the very interests
which has created him. He agreed
with the powerful farmers alliance,
of Dakota, that if they would stand
by the old party he would work with
Mr.. Wardall to put him in the U. S.
Senate. At the last moment, in the
"old party" caucus, he sold out bag
and baggage. He waited till the last
moment before he betrayed the AL
lance. The trade was made with
the Pettigrew and Moody factions
before Edgerton revealed himself.
It was made when the "gang" came
and took Edgerton out for buggy
ride-kept him out half-a-day. When
he returned he gave no direct indica-
ton of the auction of his old car
cass, but the invisible something was
sufficiently luminous to shine
through his scales-and when the
caucus was held the scales fell
And now this vermillion dyed
political strumpet is to be foisted on
to the breast of fair young Dakota
to draw nourishment from bosom
which he has abused and disgraced.
Not only that, but he is to enter the
high. Justiciary, as q. S. District
Judge-where he may pass upon vital
questions of public policy.
Such is the degradation of party
politics. Now let the Dakota Alliance
be ''non-partisan" with a ven
geance!

In October Minneapolis received
over eight million bushels of grain.
On this the grain men made from
three to sixteen cents bushel-and
it would be safe to average it up at
seven cents, Over half a million a
month net profit, besides those
charges which 'get there" through
freight and handling, ought to help
the city along. st. Paul gets along
without it.
There are thousand and one ex-
cuses made for the defeats in Iowa,
Ohio, New York, etc. But there is
only one excuse which fits all the To-
cations and circumstances that is.

The Latest New York Story.

The latest beggarly vagary comes
from New York, of course, where
party coming from the theater was
stopped by a ragged individual with a
small kitten in his arms. He opened
the conversation Immediately and said:
gents, maybe you think 1 am going
to spar you for money, but I amt. 1
am not hungry or thirsty and have a
place to sleep, but I have no cash. 1
want few pennies, not for myself, but
to buy some milk for this poor little
starving cat, which I found crying in
this park" The party was for a mo-
ment stunned, but amid roars of laugh
ter purse of nearly a dollar was col
lected and given to the guardian OF
the kitten.

Mr.. Hayseed(of Hayseed county,
''Here's letter from some one in New
York city named Blank, and they want
to know if it will be convenient to have
them and their nine children visit us
all summer on the farm. Who is the

Lack of Experience Evident.

Old Physician-':What! You called
in DR.. Blank during my absence? Why,
he's just out of college"
Patient-'In He certainly is
not a young man."
Old Physician -''No; he's of middle
age; but it's plain to see he's new to
this business. Why. I saw him this
very morning looking down in the
mouth just because he had lost a pa

Hon. j. B. Hompe objects to the
wholesale condemnation of the last
legislature, credited to Mr.. Donnelly
in a provincial speech. Mr.. Donnelly
writes us on that matter in person
al letter:
"Mr. Hompe was a good, faithful
member of the last House, and we
hope to see him sent to the Senate
next year; but he must not under
take the task of defending his associ-
ates, or he will "bite off more than
he can chew" While one-fourth or
possibly one-third of the last legisla-
ture were honest men, the large ma
jority were ba lot, and they grew
worse the longer they remained at
the capitol"

The London Zoo.

The total number of animals in the
geological gardens, London, is state d
in the annual report to be 1920. The
annual income of this society is over
100000. They lost nearly 1000 ami
mails last year, but the additions by
purchase and gifts we're 1,121.

Now that Payne, the Standard
Oil Company Plutocrat, has proved
a failure in the Senate, after buying
the place, the Company will try an
other man. AS the politics of Ohio
have changed, the man must be of a
different color, but the same breed.
He will scratch gravel to the ex-
tent of a hundred thousand-but
that will be coil right" with a man
worth 10 or Is millions.

Nitrate Fields of Chilli

The great nitrate fields are about
thirty miles inland from Iqinqui, and
that city exports 16, 70O,O quintals of

brings in the handsome sum of $780,
600 per month to the custom-house.

H. P. Robinson, in pamphlet pub
lished under the eye of the Pluto
Gratis, bemoans the fact that the R..
RS had a net income last year OF
only ten million dollars. G.. P. Car
penter, OF the Pennington Tribune,
says:
1t would seem to farmer paying
II per cent interest, and wearing
his old clothes in the rain endeavoring
to come out at the end of the year
without net loss as though the
roads could scrimp along on over
$1O,OOO,OOO a year!"

perhaps stimulated by the disclosures
made because of the failure of the
Traders bank. The august meeting
of the brotherhood was to be per-
turbed anew by the scandal, for Gro
min resisted all pressure to cease and
stood ready to renew the combat
which he feared would cost him his
life.
Alexander Sullivan lies in Jail under
the heavy accusation of having been
a principal, an accessory, or OF having
guilty knowl edge of the murder of Dr.
Cronin. The crime is hideous, revolt
ing. Agains the deep damnation of
Cronin's taking off, accomplished as it
was in secret by assassins and as the
result of horrible conspiracy, planned
and persisted in with devilish ingenuity
and firmness of purpose, the killing of
Hanford, done in open day in hot blood
and under circumstances suggestive of
self-defence, seems trivial offense. IT
Sullivan is guilty he is damnably
guilty. Coughlin was possibly
shallow knave, the iceman fanatic,
Woodruff cheap mercenary, but
the Intelligence that planned, the
hatred that persisted, the craft that in
spired was, if the coroner's jury is
right, the intelligence, the hatred, the
craft of Alexander Sullivan. The
