Corporal Tanner has retired from the
the pension, bureau and we may now ex-
pect to hear the democrats, who howled
for his resignation, howl because they
got what they wanted. Tanner gave up
the position, it is said, with the advice
and consent of the president, because of
radical differences between himself and
and the secretary of the interior. No
doubt he was of a garrulous disposition
and at times talked too loud for his own
good, but for that he is hardly to blame.
His nature went ahead of his brains.
Hence Mobiles preference for some enc
else and Harrison's accession for sake
of harmony. We have upheld Tanner
because we believed him honest. A
willing desire to misuse the funds under
his control cannot be charged to his
door. From all such lies he is clear.
and, if in eases he went too far, it was
out OF his whole souled good nature.
He simply made mistakes, but it was
because he was in position where
indiscretion was dangerous, that his
mistakes counted. For this reason ii
is better that his place be filed By an
other. About the only effect it will have
will be to give the democrats mistaken
idea that they can make capital out OF
it. They succeeded in raising enough
rumpns tohaye Tanner relieved and now
they will hold him up as one, deeply
wronged, forgetting at the time the part
they themselves played in bringing
about his downfall. Tanners true
friends will see to it however that they
are remembered and the Democratic
scold will be lost in nothing. It win
simply be wasted.

Seekers after clues to the Whitechapel
murderer say that they have tumbled
up against something new. Wonder if
there is anything in it.

Among the numerous republicans
thus far spoken of as available candi-
dates for governor, none will be met with
more cordial approval than that fear
less champion and advocate of what he
believes to be right, Knute Nelson.
Nelson would do honor to the executive
chair.
This from an exchange we heartily
agree with. If Merriam is not to have
a second term we know of no man who
would come nearer to representing the
true principles Of the republicans of
Minnesota than this same Knute Mel
son. There would be no Doodle float
ing around in his campaign for greedy
men to grab and then feel sore because
They didn't get more, and as for ability
Nelson could fill pretty big chair. He
would suit us to dot.

The counsel in the Cronin case have
not yet been able to secure jury, not
withstanding they have labored to that
end for nearly two weeks. The difficult
ty arises from the fact that only the ig-
norance or imbecility, that would pre-
vent a man from forming any opinion,
constitute a proper qualification. Men
of that kind are few. and hard to find,
and it may be long time yet before
the courts get down to solid work on
the Cronin case.

The fact, that SO many of the papers
that supported Merriam last fall are
now crying out against a second term,
must be enough..to cause the governor in
his solitary moments to beat to his head
against the walls OF his private room
and mutter to himself, '.and is our cha
rity so soon forgot?''

The St. Peter Tribune says that 'sjus-
tice to Merriam, politically speaking,
is the justice melted out to Hannah
who died on the scafold erected by his
own hands," This is cruel indeed, con-
sidering that the Tribune used its
little influence to help Merriam to his
seat. The sudden change in the editor $
style of reasoning must be due to the ex-
piration OF some contract, which pre-
vented him from freely expressing him.

Window and Byrnes. the rustlers Of
the treasury department., who play quite
deeply in Minnesota politics, have ex-
pressed their willingness to let the sett-
lement of the revenue dictatorship con-
test go one way or the other. Their
willingness is due no doubt to the fact
that they know already which way it's
going.

Hon. S. S. Cox, better known as s.Sun-
set Cox, died at his home in New York
last Tuesday evening of pneumonia. In
his death the country loses one of the
most successful statesmen of the gener-
alton. His long and active service in
congress and other positions of note has
brought him prominently before the PEG
pie as a man of broad views, who was
capable not only Of faithfully serving his
party but his country as well. In poll
tics he was democrat and in his party
leader, but he was not bound down
to partisan dogmas. He rose above
them and often was the means of set
ting his party Alright. He was a great
orator, statesman, distinguished
citizen Of the republic, and mall great
man. For such the country mourns,
and feels their absence.

When the Republicans of any town
in Mr.. Lind's district cannot agree on
a postmaster, he calls meeting and
has the opposing factions fight it out
in his presence. That is good scheme
but it only illustrates the propriety of
allowing the people served at any Civ
en- postofice to vote for postmaster.
There is no more reason why they
should not elect their postmaster than
there is for not electing their mayor or
town council. The Journal is for cleo
tive postmasters, members Of the party

A meaner or more undetermined and
contemplate fight than that which was
waged against Commissioner Tanner
by mugwumps and democrats has never
been seen. Almost every crime which
bitter malice could invent was charged
against him. No lie was too ridiculous
for the papers fighting him to print.
And all because he made few errors.
Now, that he has been asked to resign,
they will pose him as martyr and act
as his guardian angels. The idea is re-
diculous indeed and would cause won
der had it originated with any other
than this same class of politicians.

Lawyer Forest, who is counsel for
ex.detective Coughlin, the Cronin sus-
pect, together with three accomplices
made a raid on the Carlson cottage
in Chicago and succeeded in carrying
off parts of the floor and walls spotted
with Cronin's blood. That's going too
far. A lawyer who can't defend his
client without going to such desperate
straits, is complete give away, and the
fact that he did the deed ought to estab-
lish their guilt in the minds Of any ju-
ry.

How a Snake Dimes on Frog.

A naturalist in Dakota was inleg- csted recently in a snakes feast oh a frog. He tells about it nthe Natu1l Science Monthly Frogs may be sic culcnt to snakes, but their dcglutition is very much like hard work. It is difficult to tell where the fun comes in. The greatest trouble is to swal- low the frog after catching him. Ho is swallowed heels first. It is prob- lcmatic whether this is done by pref crence or to wedge the victim down. When caught the frog cries out pitt fully. This seems to delight his snalIcship. The frog soon finds it is useless to struggle to release the one leg swallowed and tries to keep the other out of the trap. But the snake the other leg. Then poor froggy's eyes dilate and assume a glassy stare; the body is stupehed. Tho snake does not swallow; it simply crawls over it's prey by contracting the muscles in its throat When the frog gets fairly in the snakes belly the latter seems to have a terrible case of indigestion. It rolls over and over and looks as if it would give a hundred dollars to get out of the scrape- Then it becomes stupctied and doubtless resolves never to make fool of itself again, but when hungry it goes for frogs just as eagerly as before.
