TALK OF THE NEWSPAPERS.

One OF the meanest political thrusts
we remember of ever having heard is
the miserable charge that Governor

ltl is noticeable that neither Mr.. Don.
nelly nor Editor Fish were elected by
the Farmers Alliance to the Offices
which they believed they were destined
to fill. Neither did the alliance select
the Great West rs their organ. Both
Donnelly and Fish have been extreme
IN their utterances and have, by erron-
eouslY representing the farmers of Min
nesota as shackled slaves driven by
overseers, done all they could to pre-
vent immigration to the state. If the
farmers reflect, they will see how this
continual Misrepresentation by Don.

state, too. MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL.
Congress is at last getting in the right
channel with lis tariff doctrine. There
is talk now that So per ton increase,
making 50, is to be placed on hay, of
which large quantities come in from
Canada; also doubling up on peas
from 10 per cent to 20 per cent, beans
the same, and potatoes Is to 20 cents a
bushel; barley from 10 to 20 per cent,
straw 50 per ton, etc. This is a move
in TIE right direction, to protect what
the farmer has to sell as well as what he
has to buy. The item of eggs alone
will be considerable, as over 25, ,OOO, 900
dozens per year are now being brought
into the country from Scotland, Ger.

So far President Harrison has given
the country a good, clean, able admins

honor, that he has no use for the con.

# there were no reason why Ed. Du-
rant should not be nominated for gov
ernor other than his assertion in The
Senate that no one ever heard cat
bird sing, that should settle him. Just
think Of the position it would put the
party in all during the campaign. It
would be on the defensive from the
start. The Pi Press would put it as
usual. on ''brosd public grounds that
Minnesota should never be so disgraced
it would say that '.the strumpet Of ig-
norance stalks naked across the prai-
rie. " Whom, Mr.. Durant made his
tour de talk over the State the very
boys would cry: s'That's the chump
wot sez cat-bird cant sing:, and how
could he hope to have people listen to
him when he began to speak about the
tariff when every man of his hearers
was saying to himself: "How can a
man know anything about the tariff
who don't know that cat bird sings!''
