SURPRISING TO SOME.

The charge has been made that
President Harrison's administration
had, in the first half of its existence,
cleaned out the Democrats from all the
best postofices in the country. So far
as Minnesota is concerned this is not
true, and it may be truly said that it is
not true in many of the states. The fol-
lowing list of Offices In Minnesota held
by Democrats may be surprise to
some, and Republican disaffection may,
in measure, be chargable to the fact
that the administration has been too
tardy in recognizing party aspirants.
Read this list.

The New York Herald declares that
Republicans must undo their iniqui-
tous and reckless pension legislation"
Oh no! The Republicans don't like
that kind Of work. Kicking the old
veterans of the army that saved the I'm
ion from Democratic disintegration into
the potters field and poor-houses of the
country, IS not to their taste. That's
work peculiarly adapted and exceeding
ly agreeable to the Democratic bosses,
from Cleveland down. The old thorns
planted in their hearts by these old vets
at Vicksburg, Gettysburg and Appomat-
tox, still rankle in their bosoms, and
the Democratic Congress inst elected
will take that work in hand when they
assemble, and go at it with the zeal of
the most earnest new convert to their
faith.

DULUTH has had a bank failure.
What's the matter with the city at the
head of the lakes? Or is it bound to be
in style in these days of speculative PAN
les? The bank that closed Its doors is a
private one belonging to II. H. Bell,
and will in no way affect the other
money institutions of the city. The
Bank of Commerce of West Superior,
also privass bank, is reported not af-
fected. although Bell is Vice President
of it. Those informed as to the condi-
ton of the institution, haye for the past
two or three years expected the failure
of Bell from the fact that he has been
known to be close run for cash.

lance of every Republican being in his
seat from the first day until the last OF
the session. The emphasis which Mr..
Reed gives to this utterance is in line
with the feeling of the President. Ev-
cry Republican member who has been
at the White House during the past ten
days has heard the President praise
those members who were faithful to
their posts during the long session, and
express the hope that there would be
no absent ones during the next three
months. 1t is this feeling which has
caused the impression to go forth that
no Congressman will be selected to fill
vacant official positions unless the ap-
pointment is postponed until after the
fourth of March.

Certainly not the FREE PRESS, nor the
Farmers Alliance. This sortof 'sslush, y
30 far at least as this district is concerned,
is left to few Democratic papers and
one or two disgruntled Republican pa
pers to discuss. No well informed, hon.

one seriously believes that he dare
make contest for Congressman Lind's
seat on any such flimsy plea. Dollars

Congress for which he was recently
elected.
