STATE SENTIMENT.

If Joel and others are waking up to
the fact that there is something rotten
in Denmark" we have cause to be
thankful. If this is government of
the people and by the people we con-
fess that residence in Minnesota for
more than thirty years has been time
wasted. We have thought ever since
the old Minnesota Railroad Bond swim
die was passed in the Minnesota legiS-
lature over the heads of the people and
our internal improvement lands stolen,
that was a government of the rings and
for the rings.-Hubbard Bulletin.
AS pretty bit of flunkeyism as we
have seen recently in paper is the ed
itorial in the Minneapolis Tribune tel
ling in how Talmage actually called on
that paper and really spoke to US you
know, 1t is Turveydrop without his
dignity; what old Turveydrop might
been when boy.--Caledonia Argus.
Mr.. Donnelly wanted no office for him
self, but he had sOn-in-law who would
make a good weighmaster, and it is more
than likely he asked the governor for
the appointment. The governor, in
recognition of Mr.. Dome ly's eminent
services to the party in time Of need,
granted the request, and in doing so ex-
hibited greater degree of foresight and
political wisdom than that possessed by
his critics. There are no flies on Mer-
riam.-DawsOn Sentinel.
The Red Wing Republican rebukes
Congressman Hall quite severely for his
recently expressed deriSiOn at civil ser
vice reform laws, and remarks very truly
that sit is good Republicanism to main
tain and even extend the letter and
spirit of the civil service law. and when
the Republican party is induced to make
all the offices spoils for congressmen to
dispose of, some other pa6t3 will dis
tribute them. "-Mankato Free Press.

THE HARVEST.

The song of the Harvest Home has an
unusually joyous ring to it here In the
Northwest this season. A few months
ago all was doubt and dependency be-
cause of the unpromising prospect for
the crops. A crop failure this year
meant real disaster to this section, con-
sequently everybody was down in the
mouth. But a difference prevails now.
The crops have matured, the harvest
ing has been done exceptin the extreme
northern tier of counties in Minnesota
and Dakota, and the reapers come re
ioicing, bringing in the golden sheaves.
The Lord has been good to us, and how
profoundly grateful we should feel.
Southern Minnesota reports the
largest crop ever known in that
section of the state. South Da-
kota is rejoicing in an abundant har-
vest. The middle strip, extending from
the Mississippi river to the Missouri.
yields more than an average crop; and
while the northern section of both Min
nesota and Dakota will have lighter
yield than the more favored southern
section, still the crop is so much better
than had been anticipated, the farmers
are satisfied with it. Taking it alto
gether, the aggregated crops of the
Northwest are about the best we have
ever known, and in consequence there
is general revival of business in all
departments. 1t looks now as if we
were on the eve of boom of prosperity
that will be all the more agreeable be-
cause it was unexpected

Union Veterans Will Be Given
the Preference in Federal
Appointments.
Such Is the Order Issued to
the Civil Service Com
mission.
Celestials En- Route Home
From Cuba Sail From San
Francisco.
Thousands Of Foreigners Are
Flocking to the Argen-
tine Republic.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Elm response
to letter of inquiry from w. B. Cooley,
chief clerk of the postoffice department,
James N. Tyner, assistant attorney
general for the postoffice department.
wrote that when the civil service COM
mission certified three names for ap-
pointment and one of them was dis
charged sailor or soldier, he must be Sc
lected for the place. 1t was suggested
in the inquiry that if the appointing
power were allowed no choice in such a
case, it would be useless for the COM
mission to certify more than the one
name of the ex-soldier or sailor
Mr.. Tyner said as to this, that if
the name of but one eligible
were certified. that person might be-
come incapacitated or fail to appear;
hence the convenience and desirability
OF having three names on the list.
This opinion of Assistant Attorney
General Tyner was confirmed by the
attorney general, who, however, brought
out more strongly the point that the
appointing power still had the right of
Judging as to the eX soldiers capability
and personal fitness before putting him
in the place, though all things being
equal the soldier must be appointed.
The correspondence in the case is be-
ing circulated among heads of divisions
in the various departments for their
guidance In making appointments.
