LIEUTENANT Gov. RICE announces
through the Pioneer Press that he will
favor Governor Merriam's re-nomina-
ton next year. This settles one point
which had been completing the gIber-
material situation, as it had been intim-
ated that Mr.. Rice had an idea that wath
the Scandinavian support behind him
he would not make slow candidate for
executive himself. His avowal for Mer-
RAM, however, removes all doubt on
that score. A prominent Minneapolis
politician is reported as giving out the
Merriam-Rice program as follows:
Merriam to be renominated In 1890
and Rice to succeed him two years later.
The deal goes further, understand and
pledges Rice to support Merriam fer
senator, as against Z. X. Davis. Merriam,
if he can be reelected, will make his
appointments for the next two years, as
he already has so far, with a view of ad
vancing his senatorial aspirations, and
if A. +. Rice can succeed him he (Rice)
will nave the making of the appoint
ments at the time Senator DAVIS term
expires, and will make them in the
Merriam interest. That is the program
as given out to the initiated.
This is all very Interesting, though no
certainty can be had as to its truthful
ness. 1t IS little early for matured
plans, though we suppose the prelimi-
naries are being arranged. 1t was some
time ago given out that Merriam would
not be candidate against Mr.. Davis for
U. S. Senator. but the program has been
changed if the above is to be believed.
Well, it will be big job to prevent
Senator Davis from being his own sue
cessor, and there will have to be more
formidable weapons used than the re-
port just started that Mr.. Davis has OBJ
stinately prevented the Minnesota dele
CATION from getting together on patron
age matters. That is weak story and
won't create as much of stir as its
originators hope. All these incidents
serve to show, however, that politics
will be decidedly lively in Minnesota
next year.

THE COMING SESSION.
Hon. John Lind Chats Entertaining
ly of Congress.
(St. Paul News Oct. 81

Hon. John Lind, the Second district
congressman, was at the state capitol on
legal business, and to reporter he
chatted III very entertaining manner
about things and matters. The follow
ing is the meat of what he said about the
coming session of congress:
al think the coming session of con-
gress will be an important one. We will
have the tariff question to settle, first of
all. / don't think much other legisla-
ton will be attempted before that is dis
posed of. ! am firmly of the opinion
that the West will shape the tariff bill
IN the house. Then there are two i'm
portant Southern measures coming up
the Blair educational bill and the pro-
position for federal control of congress
siOnal and presidential elections. The
former | will support most heartily. AS
to what ought to be done in regard TO
the latter subject | am undecided, | am
little fearful that any direct attempt at
federal control of Southern elections will
tend to further complicate the race prob
EN-.
Our South American relations and our
aspirations for commercial supremacy in
that direction will afford fertile field
for congressional defamation when We
have nothing to do.
This, with necessary pension leglsla-
ton and the consideration of the ques-
ton of subsidies for ocean steamers,
will give Us plenty of work for the next
ten months. AS to the status OF
the speakership question l am
not advised, as have not been to Wash
ington this summer. If were to make
choice now / should probably say
Cannon or Reed. can't saw in regard
to Mr.. Dunnell's chances. If his service
had been continuous he would be the
strongest man i'm the house. He is
highly thought of by all the old MEM
bers. Stranger things have happened
than his selection for speaker. Moth
ing would please me more than to see
him elected. But whether he is made
speaker or not, hope will get place
on committee that will be a recogni
ton of his ability and enable HIM to be
of real service to our state and the coun
try in shaping the fiscal policy of this
congress
Mr.. Lind expects to start for Wash
ington about the Goth of this month.

WHEN will the MankatO aldermen

WHEN will the Mankato aldermen
learn that they are but making foolish
exhibitions of themselves in attempting
to answer newspaper or any other sort
of criticism by standing up and yelling
"you're anotherw Whom do they sup
pose will give any consideration to their
ridiculous limitations that the criticisms
of the water department i'll connection
with the tub factory fire were "a put up
job?" The gentlemen relapse 80 quickly
into the Job" business that an unkind
er critic than we would doubtless say
they were talking from experience. But
look here: Do these gentlemen pretend
to deny that the public had not been led
to believe that after the completion of
the pumping station and the location of
the pump the fire protection of the city
partment get out few months ago an0
give an exhibition which showed that
when the machinery, mains, ETC., were
in proper order, enough water could be
city ever had !? What then was there to
be expected from public thus lulled in
to supposed security, when before its
ewes one of its most priced institutions
was burned to the ground and the famed
"pressure" from the water mains was
hardly sufficient to send stream to the
top of telegraph pole? Did the alder
med suppose that after such an expert
ence the public and the newspapers
whose duty it is to express public senti-
ment would set quietly by and make no
attempt to discover at whose door the
negligence. carelessness or criminaiity
laid? Mr.. Henlein is fearful that the
newspapers will run the town." With
some of the experiences of the past wear
in mind possibly some citizens would
not object to the change. Instead of oc-
cupving time bandying epithets, why
do not these gentlemen move for an in
vestigation of the hints of negligence
and Incompetence by committee whose
honestly and ability to discover where
the fault lies won d not be questioned :?
Such course would lead the public to
believe that the aldermen were really
actuated by desire to get at the facts
In the case and TO remedy the errors,
and would remove the unpleasant im-
preston that they seek to becloud or
cover up the issue. The FREE Press has
discussed public affairs and made its
criticisms manv times before and will
continue to do so when occasion requires
1t has established reputation for look
ing only after the interests of the city
and citizens at large, and the feeble at
tempt of certain aldermen to make 1t APP
pear that it has other motives falls very
fiat. The thing for these gentlemen to
learn is. not whether the newspapers
are trying to run the city, but that the
water committee or even the city coun-
Gil does not Dam the town, but that they are
answerabe to the tax payers for the
proper and careful conduct of affairs. If
they do not get this fact digested sooner,
they will at least be made aware of its
potency by the time election day rolls
around.

BEWARE OF WILDCAT BUILDING
AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.

The last annual report of the Ameri-
can Loan and Building Association has
called out severe comment and criticism
from several correspondents of papers.
A Duluth correspondent of the Pioneer
Press, signing himself a." saws:
To the Editor: see no comments Ill your
columns with reference to national building and
loan associations which figure in our midst,
and where million dollars of the savings of the
poorer classes are in danger of being swallowed
up. The faithful journalist should expose the
scheme. The sworn annual statement OF the
American" OF Minneapolis shows an alarming
state OF affairs to the confiding stockholders Of
that institution, and the attempted justifica-
ton of their methods by it's officers is to any
one lin the least acquainted with the workings
OF substantial building and loan associations)
the most ridiculous and absurd. The assertion
of President Rundell that the profits of the first
year OF the life of share OF stock is no criterion
OF stability of the investment but that its full
life OF say seven years lin which he thinks IL will
reach par value) should be taken into account,
is a startling statement Tor president of an as
ISOLATION to make, and shows either insincerity
or utter ignorance of the matter with which he
is dealing. A share OF stock in any well man
aged building and loan association commences
its profits with its existence, and 81 for one
month bears its even ratio of gain with 81 tor
100 months, and all shares In every series
should assimilate and blend to make that even
ratio of gain

A CIRCULAR addressed by the New York
Tribune to Republican Congressman
yields some interesting results. OF 1863
members of the Fiftieth Congress 93 re-
pond to the Tribune's questions, which
concern tariff revision, modification OF
the internal revenue system, national
control of Congressional elections, sub
sides FOR ocean mail service, and the
choice for Speaker. ORES who respond
ed the great majority were members of
the last Congress, aud their replies are,
therefore. significant of the feeling of
the controlling minds ofthe next House.
Eighty six of them say they are in favor
of tariff revision on the lines laid down
by the Senate Bill; three are opposed !;
three express no opinion and one refuses
to commit himself. This indicates a
strong probability that we shall have a
more or less conservative revision ofthe
Tariff. There are likely to be many
differences as to details, but the major
ity are convinced that revision Is
necessary, and doubtless the Presidents
Message Will strongly urge prompt ac-
ton On the question of modifying the
internal revenue system, the largest
number agreeing on any one point is %.
These favor the repeal of the taxes on
tobacco and sugar. Only ~ are in favor
of the abolition of the whole system. A
moderate reduction in these taxes
would seem to be the most probable
| outcome. Concerning the national con-
troll of Congressional elections, IS favor,

sides. We ought, it would seem to
have something in all these lines of
legislation from the coming Congress,
and doubtless We shall have if it shall
prove to be a working and not merely
talking Congress. The inquiry con-
corning the choice for Speaker shows
that 20 prefer Reed and 10 Mckinley,
while II want Cannon, and the rest
divide between several candidates.
