STATE OPINIONS.

Several of the state papers have Sug-
geSted that there be held convention
of representative business men of the
state to take some action in regard to
MinneSota's representation at the
worlds fair at Chicago. This should be
done at once. Minnesota is a state
worthy of tirst-class advertising. and it
should be SO represented at the coming
fair that people will be able, at glance
even. to realize the vast resources of the
state and the advantages offered to set
ierS.-Stiilwater News.
AS intimated last week in these col
umns, Hon. lgnatins Donnelly is work
ing for the United States senate. His
zeal in fathering the Alliance is thus
admitted. The announcement as to his
desires and aims as indicated was pub
iicly made last week, and it may be as
Sumed that from this on, no stone will
be left unturned to accomplish the end
in view. We venture the prediction,
however, that Donnelly will never be a
United States Senator.-JaneSyilleA Ar

An exchange says the Democrats are
pledged to economic in expense so as
to reduce taxes. That is just what the
voters want, and must have even if
both the Old parties have to be buried
to get it and no talk will suffice, it re-
quireS prompt action, and to save their
bacon the party puppies had better fall
In with the proceSSion.-La Crescent
Co-operator.
Kittel HalvorSon has been named for
another honor. He is said to be Don
nelly's opponent for the presidency of
the state Farmers Alliance. Our own
Prohibition congressman may become a

The GLOBE figures out congress
sional reappolt ton ment for the state
which seems to be fair enough if bet
ter one cannot be devised. The News,
however, believes that the Second dis
trict. as suggested by the GLOBE, can
be improved upon by cutting out the
counties of Faribault Blue Earth and
Nicollet, and adding Renville, Kandi-
yOhi, Swift and Big Stone. This would
take OFF about 5000 from the district
proposed by the GLOBE, and would add
$1,000, which would make the popula-
ton of the district about 1872, 600, and
leave it geographically as compact as at
preSent.-Rock County News.
Probably some of our good Republi-
can brethren wouldn't have been so faSt
III condemning the GLOBES reappor-
tionment scheme. because of party
preJudices, if they had noticed that the
opponents of Republieanisrn in the
Northwest, favored the GLOBES idea.-
Swift Monitor.
If the Republicans had worked as
hard for the success of their party IN
the recent campaign as they are now to
secure clerkship in the next legisla-
ture, they might have made better
Showing.-GraceVille Phoenix.
Ignatius DonnelIy wants to be presi-
dent of the State Alliance solely for the
base purpose of betraying it into the
hands Of its worst enemies. The Alli-
ance must be destroyed or the Republic
can party cannot be successful in 1892,
and Donnelly has been chosen to crush
the Alliance. Can he do it?-Elbow
Lake Alliance.
That redistricting ''lay-out'' of the st.
Paul GLOBE is a very nice joke, that is,
ii it was intended as q joke. which we
presume it was. One fallacy of it lies
in the fact that the two districts COM
priSing the larger number of counties
and nearly half the state in area. even
HOW contains a larger percentage of
population than any of the other dis
tricts, and at the enormous rate of in
crease in population it would be but
very few years before another set of
districts would have to be arranged.
The way they bob around with the Sew
enth district it is wonder they didn't
name Rock county also.-Chisago News.
What seems to be puzzling the Re-
publicans worse than anything else is
to find scheme for redistricting Min
nesota, so as to keep Ramsey county
from going Democratic. 1t cannot be
done without killing all such men as
Judge Egau, BILLY" Hamm and the
thousand other ''Calsominers'' who eX-
cite the Democratic pulse along about
election time.-Stillwater Democrat.
