WOMEN WORKERS,

1t is only few years since the idea of
women workers in public places was
ridiculed and scoffed at by very large
proportion of our people, and the sug-
gestion that a woman should be elected
as county up 9rintendent of school was
held up horrible trayesty upon the
sacredness of the home circle. But,
THANKS to education and broadened
views, such is no longer the case. Wo-
mans right to earn livelihood is no
longer questioned by the masses, and
she is permitted to fill many places of
trust and responsibility, and her talents
and ambition have been found equal to
the and in many instances
superior even to those possessed by
men. AS instructors IN the school room
they are, in many, and we might say
most, instances, preferable to men, and
there is no apparent reason why they
will not prove quite as valuable as SUI
perintendents. The great majority of
country school teachers are ladies, and
eSD q NOOAtf WO1h 10
confined exclusively to such schools it
would seem entirely proper that lady
be selected to look after their interests.
Minnesota is fast coming to regard
and recognize woman's work in this par
ticular field as evidenced by the recent
election. We find that seven counties
have elected lady superintendent of
schools, and if they shall meet the ex-
pectatlons of their respective comuni-
ties, the number will be largely increas--
ed at the next general election.
Give the women chance. As rule
they are broad-minded, energetic and
enthusiastic workers in whatever ayoca-
ton they follow.

BAKER MAY CONTEST.
Madelia Times. !

Madelia Times
It is our opinion that ]. H. Bakar wiIE
contest Lind's election. 1t has been in
tlmated by some of the papers which
supported him. We met him in Man
kato, the other day, and by the tenor of
his remarks we inferred it. He was on
the street with his now bosom friend,
Bro. Wise. AS we approached them
Baker says, How is it that / didn't
get any votes in your town of Antrim
We remarked that he did. He doubt
ing we pulled out copy Of the Times
from our pocket and showed HIM the
official returns and that he received
about the same as Owen which was all
he be E Ensx entitled Fl To Hd6ea asked
Democratic ticket with Mr. Lind's name
on it. While we deprecate the printing
of split tickets, and it was bv such that
we were defeated al the late election,
we took issue with Mr.. Wise as to such
being fraudulent. The presumption
was that every voter ought to be able
to and should read the ballot before he
cast it, and If men are sober and not
unduly Influenced that nine-tenths of
the voters informed themselves as to
what they are voting. Just then a gen
tleman pulled Faribault County Dem
ocratic ticket from his pocket which had
Bakers name on. The latter said that
was all right, as voters desired to vote
that way, so if the mixed tickets are in
Mr.. Bakers favor 1t will be all right.
He will probably contest az that will
give him chance to 90 to Washington as
the air there is congenial to him as was
that at st. Louis in war time where he
acted as Provost Marshal. This saved
his going down to the front.
Every Democratic ticket printed With
Gen. Bakers name on without the
exception" was just as fraudulent as
the Republican, and if the General be-
gins to throw out such tickets he viii
find that he had mighty few legal bal
lois cast for himself. He was the nomi
nee only of the Alliance party. The
Democratic party refused to have any
thing to do with his candidacy.

WHosaid the Minneapolis Times was
Indepeadent in politics? Here is what
the Times says of itself:
Since t2Te rssve IL *hA-2sIIiy 1Aaanoe-esie paper
III minneapolis, its voicings are looked for WITH
interest by the populace. Its expressions elicit
the most implicit confidence because they are
SINGERS and honest.
During the campaign the Times, like
the St. Paul NeaUS, pretended to be In
dependent Republican. Since there is
no further need to try decep tion upon
its readers, it comes out and frankly adj
mits what everybody has long known
it's Democracy. Now that the Times has
found confession good for the soul, the
the st. Paul NeUS would feel better, if il
would follow the precept Of its morning
contemporary.

The Republican State Convention this
year placed itself on record as favoring
free text books, and it will be one OF
the important legislative matters that
should attract the earnest attention of
our lawmakers. Wherever the plan
has been in vogue excellent results have
attained, and country schools have been
given an impetus for good work hereto
fore lacking. The Red Wing Republican
says that the plan has been introduced
into thirty districts in Goodhue county,
and in every case, where its operation
is such as it ought to be, the best of sat
isfaction is given and submits that "the
incorporation of free text book plank
in the Republican State platform had q
healthy effect in turning attention to
this matter" 1t is the duty of the Re
publican members of the coming session
of the legislature to use every honest
endeavor to put into effect the recon-
mendation Of the party platform on this
question. -

REFERRING to the item which recently
appeared in the FREE PRESS anent the
effort being made to remove Warden
Randall from the management of the
Saltwater prison, the Winona Republi-
can comes to the front as follows:
Mr. Randall has indeed startled the sleepy old
fossils whose notions of prison discipline still
cluster in admiration about the solitary cell
and thumb-screw, and led them to believe that
the world was about to come to speedy end
because spark of humanity has partially illu-
mined the dark recesses of the prison since the
present wardens advent. But this fact is SIM
ply made the cover for the hostility of the old
prison ring, whose fangs had never been wholly
loosened from the throats OF the management
of that State institution until MIR. Randall took
charge. In entering upon his duties at stillwat-
er Mr. Randall had two objects in view. First
To make the prison, so far as might be posi-
BILE, reformatory as well as a penal institu-
ton. Second-To protect the interests of the
State in its dealing with the contractors Tor the
prison labor. In this endeavor he may have
made minor mistakes, but on the whole he has
achieved a fair degree OF success. The result is
that he has incurred the displeasure OF the ring,
and the tongues of the gossips have been en-
ployed to pour their tales OF terror into the
Governors ears Whether it is true that the
executive has been so far influenced thereby as
to have decreed Warden Randalls removal, we
do not know. He will doubtless very soon
speak for himself. Wecan assure GOV. Merriam
meantime that if he has determined upon the
course with which he is credited, it will behoove
him, for the sake of his own reputation, to be
prepared to give good reasons therefor. The
people of Minnesota are in no mood at this time
to resurrect the prison contractors ring at Still
water aud once more place that malodorous
combination in control of the management
which belongs wholly to the State and its duly
accredited agents.
The words spoken above come from
the home paper of Mr.. Randall, and
they are such as will be endorsed by the
people of the State regardless OF party.
The greatest mistake Governor McGih
made during his term was the removal
of Warden Reed, who had made mod
ell official and whose retention in Office
would have been IN strict accordance
with good business principles. 1t may
appear that Gov. Merriam will present
good and sufficient reasons for dethron-
ing MIR. Randall, in which case there
will be general acquiescence. But a
successor to Mr.. Randall will have to be
something other than political worker
to save the Governor from severe 'critil
cism. The prison at Saltwater is q State.

A NICE little fight In the New York
legislature between the friends of Gov.
Hill and ex-President Cleveland is
promised. The one who can control the
senatorial election it is believed win be
able to secure New York's delegation
in the next Democratic National con-
yenticn, and as the Empire State isabso-
lutely necessary to Democratic success,
the contest will be waged with unusual
ylgor. 1t is believed at this time that
the bachelor Governor holds the win
ming hand.

CONGRESSMAN LIND thinks that Judge
Wilson owes his defeat for Governor to
the withdrawal of Mort. Wilkinson. 1t
is generally understood that the Second
district Democrats owe the loss of their
Congressional candidate to the influence
of the st. Paul political firm of Kelly &
Doran., 1t is also conceded that they
were responsible for the nomination of
Wilson. Now, if Mr.. Lind's idea is cor
rect, the theory advanced during the
campaign that the st. Paul Democratic
bosses did not want Democratic Gov
ernor elected does not seem IMPROBABLE.

The sealskin of the future will be be-
yond the reach of all but very wealthy
people. Late investigations by skilled
observers show that the seals IN the Al
askan waters have been almost exter-
minated in the past few years. The
total catch this year by licensed Ameri-
can sealers was only $1,000. Last year
it was 100000. The Canadian poachers
have furthered the work of destruction
by carrying off IS, 165 pelts from Behring
Sea this year. Unless tine most rigor-
GUS methods for checking this wholesale
slaughter are adopted by the govern
ment, the seals will soon become ex-
tinct.
