rainbow in Minnesota politics is the fact
that Col. }. C. Donahower, has demon
strated the possibility of going through
a hotly contested candidacy without
abusing his rivals or being personally
abused by anybody. Other candidates
| at the same time for the same Office
have not been so fortunate and one by
have dropped out. It is the survival Of
the fttest.-St. Peter Tribune.
Pay as you go, it should be-or else
go without, rather than put a possible
milestone around your neck-even if
you succeed eventually in gaining the
things you wanted through an unde-
sireable amount of anxiety, care and
sef-denial, by the remuneration of what
| would have been more valuable in the
interval-peace of mind. ST. PAUL

Washburn may be having lots Of fun
with G. K. Davis and may also be hav-
ing his own way in the direction of po-
litical appointments, yet he can rest as
sured of one thing that when the day
rolls around to name a successor to c..
K. Davis, that the name of such success
sor will most emphatically read c. K.
Davis ana the vote will significantly
point to the eventual demolition of W.

Peter Herald.
It is gratifying to know that these
appointments johnson and j.
G. Donahower-are satisfactory to both
Senators, and that any further friction
between them in such matters is not
probable. The agreement removes all
cause for further babble and gossip
about the supposed antagouism of the
Senators, and this is OBVIOUSLY better
for the dignity of the State Of Minneso-
ta and for the great party which the
Senators represent minneapolis Jour-

Gov. Merriam's dignifed silence at

newspapers, and cash hunters. is max
ing him friends all over the state. The
fight, if it may be called one, against
the governor, is peculiar. The enemies
cannot maintain a single charge against
him; their only ammunition is mud,
which they can hur1 as only experts
can. The governor has stood by the
people III every instance, hence the

Things have come to such a crisis in
our politics. that in selecting our United
States Senators, it has got to be case
of-no Doodle no election. This is the
way it was in Minnesota and this is the
way it was in Ohio in their last week s
| election. Men of merit are no longer
noticed. Ulm Review.
The above is only too true. If brains.

The New Ulm Review entered upon
its 18th volume last week, and its
editorial department is in charge of F.

paper and it is pleasure TO read it
even though you cannot always endorse
what it says -Northfeld News.
tits doubtful if the new society of
..Sons of the Revolution recently or
ganize,i in St. Paul will serve any good
purpose, though certainly it seems in
ocuous enough to outsiders. There is
too much tendency in America to-day
to divide the people by lines of caste.
This is republic, and every citizen,
native and foreign born alike, is equal
before the law. The greatest pride in
America today should be as it was in
Rome during the days of the greatest
prosperity of the old republic the
pride of being q simple citizen. It
| would seem that such title would fill
the ambition of modest man. NORTH

It is pleasant to be informed that
there is, at last, harmony in the ranks
of the Minnesota delegation. Il weak
ems State TO be divided in its repre-
sentation at Washington, and the fact
that the delegation in the house and
Senate are in harmony and working to-
gether will prove to be of much more
interest than the good fortune of the
specific individual who may happen to
secure the Office. MIR. Window is ap-
parently forging to the front with his
financial policy, and though he is not
