In Minnesota politics the Twin Cities

In minnesota pOlltlcS the Y WIN CitleS
used to run things as it were. The
.hoggisnness of both has not been great
" exaggerated, and it was very little
that they ever wanted that they did not
get. Now, since the brotherly feeling
has gone from between them, each is
trying to play the hog on its own hook.
Understanding that they cannot get
along without the country districts, it is
amusing to watch the efforts of each to
draw the rest of the state to its side.
Minneapolis calls on the Republicans
from outside the Twin City circle to
join with it in outdoing St. Paul, and
St. Paul on the other hand is as loud in
its warnings to the state to lookout for
Minneapolis. The rural districts in the
meanwhile are looking complacently
on, and enjoying the bitter fight to their
full delight. But they should not let it
end with the satisfaction of seeing the
two cities sat OUTS The time was
never better for doing efectual work,
and, ignoring both St. Paul and Mime
apolis, the country delegations should
90 to the state convention with the ex-
press purpose of improving their oppor-
tunities and carrying all that they
can gobble onto.
Blue Earth County. Democrats are
working to secure the democratic CUB
ernatorial nomination for Daniel Buck,
of Mankato. Well, we know of no
reason why Mr.. Buck could not serve
his party as we'll in this respect as any
body else.
The Republican State convention for
the nomination of state ticket, will
be held next Wednesday. With the
approach of the day, the uncertainty
as to the outcome becomes more and
more noticeable.
State Auditor Braden has declined
to be a candidate for reelection. This
is apt to cause a furry among some
of the other officials.
knute Nelson gives it out cold| that
he is not a candidate tor office. When
asked to talk about politics he said he
was like the man who fell out of the
the baloon-he was not in it.
It seems more than probable that
Bierman will be the democratic nomi-
nee for governor.
Cnder the caption "a Cheap Dema-
gogue,' the Duluth News, Bowen's
paper, round]y scores Congressman
Lind for his stand on the silver bill,
claiming that he voted contrary to his
expressed sentiments and did not have
the courage of his convictions. The
News need not worry itself about the
affairs of the Second district. The vo-
ters will not be deceived by any argu.
ment advanced by the News, but will
rally about Lind in such manner as
to send him back to Congress with his
old time majority, - Mankato Free

The mission of the teaching profess
sion is a high one, and their work de.
serves the closest thought and study
that can be applied to it. The happi-
ness of each future generation depends
in a large measure on the ''school
ma am Of to-day; and careless, igno-
rant, or Indifferent teachers SOW seed
that ripen into the worst of fruit The
good teacher is worthy of his hire, but
one great fault is that school boards
cannot see this. A general raising Of
salaries, especially in the country dis
tricts, would result in securing far
higher grade of instructors, and the
better work accomplished would pay
many times over the trif1ing additional
expense. Mankato Free Press
Verify, the evidence accumulates that
this census Juror is merely deep laid
democratic plot to pull the State of
Minnesota over into the southern con-
federacy. Mr.. Baxter is not expected
to convict anybody of anything; but he
is expected to add fuel to the flames of
local discord, and thus make it impos-
sible for Minneapolis republicans to
support st. Paul man for Governor,
or for St. Paul republicans to support a
Minneapolis man for Congress. Frank
