81 regard Ayers Pills as one OF the
most reliable general remedies Of our
times. They have been in use in my
family for affections requiring purga-
tive, and have given unvarying satisfac-

remedy for colds and light fevers. p
w. r. Woodson, Fort Worth, Texas.
"For several years have relied more
upon Ayers Pills than upon anything
else in the medicine chest, to regulate
my bowels and those Of the ships crew.
These Pills are not severe in their ac-
ton, but do their work thoroughly. /
have used them with good effect for
the cure of rheumatism, kidney trou-
bles, and dyspepsia" - Capt. Mueller,
Steamship Felicia, New York City.
al have found Ayers Cathartic Pills
to be better family medicine for COM
mon use than any other pills within my
knowledge. They are not only very
effective, but safe and pleasant to take
qualities which must make them
valued by the public. Jules Hauel,

IT was all right for the Minnesota edI
tors to pass resolutions of thanks To the
railroads, the hotels, the towns along
the route, porters, walters, to Chicago
and everybody but the Armour Pack
ing Co. Just why Phil Armour, the
man doing his best to knock out Mime
sofa farmers on beef raising, should be
thanked, We do not exactly understand.
1t was "slop oyer" and bad one on
the part oil the quill drivers we think
Waseca Radical.
That's queer idea. A good share OF
the editors concerned have been "roas;-
ing phil Armour for the past several
months, and 1t looks like an act of con-
siderable condecension that he should
show them the courtesies he did at
Chicago. Several of the boys say that
Phil's slaughter house was the biggest
thing in the way of sight seeing that the
party enjoyed. Why, then, should he
be neglected in the ''Tesolootions," just
because he seeks TO do business among
us? We say Mr.. Armour was more en-
titled to thanks than the railroad COM
pr MES or the type founders and the
other fellows who ed"cOurtesies"
because they expected to get their
moneys worth out of us later on.

A DISPATCH sent out from Minneapolis
this week, apparently by the Associated
Press, says the business connection OF
Senator .Washburn with the milling
firm of Washburn, Morton d Co., has at
last been entirely severed, and in eX'
planaticn it is said:
at was a generally recognized fact
that in his late political struggle with
his senatorial rival, Mr.. Sabin, MIR.
Washburn's private resources were
heavily drawn on, and In seeking TO re-
coup himself for the expenditure which
the success of his campaign necessltated,
he lost still more heavily in subsequent
speculations in the market"
The st. Paul Ne,rs very correctly
wants to know what this means. The
legitimate expences Of senatorial cam
paign are doubtless considerable. but
certainly not enough to financially en-
barass a man of General Washburn' s
financial standing. What were the Eek
penditures" necessitated? Heretofore,
the Sabin side of the case has had to
stand a brunt Of all the doodle"
charges, but here Is something on the
other side that needs explanation.

porary that should the present incum-

try outside the twins is going 10 make a
strong pull for the next chief executive
of the state. United action means sue
cess. We could mention several country
editors who would make good governors
and would not forget their friends,
either.
WINDOWS POSITION.
Winona Republican: 1t is useless,
therefore, for any journalist in this state
or elsewhere, whether friend or foe, 20
either magnify Mr.. WINDOWS achieve
ments and purposes, or to detract from
their real merit and character, by attrib-
| utIng to him ends and aims which have
no lodgment in his own mind and which
in every phase and particular he wholly
disclaims. Mr.. WINDOWS sole ambition
at the present time Is to discharge the
duties of his exalted Office in a manner
| to promote the public interest to the
greatest possible extent. Beyond this
| he is quite willing that bis future shall
take care of itself without any effort on
| his part to shape or control 1t by pursu-
ing a course of action entirely foreign to
his entire political career.
THE DOODLE CRY.
Blue Earth City Post: VIM. r. Mer-
riam WAS not our choice. He was not
our candidate until the Republican State
Convention put him in nomination. lie
| was then our CuItdidute, and we did all in
our power to assist in his election. He
was elected, and he is ga0aD our governor.
We never had the (mis) fortune to get
hold of or see any of his Doodle, and it
is too late in our opinion to commence
kicking for some. Does Mr.. Merriam
make good governor is the question for
the press to ask. Is he still using Doodle
If so, for what purpose? Some kick be-
cause he has given Stordock his walking
papers. We commend him for it. 1t is
hard work to please everybody, even
| for q governor. But one act of his can
we cavil at, i. e. the pardoning of Hal.
Reid upon the evidence Of lady who
doesn't want her name made public, or
| her evidence either. The people had a
right to know upon what grounds this
brazen-faced libertine was turned loose
upon the people. further than this Mr..
Merriam has made us u good governor.
Whether we shall oppose him one year
hence depends largely upon his official
acts for the next year, and whether he
is a candidate. Gentlemen, what are
you kicking about or how much are kick
ing you for?
