Should the republican representatives
in the legislature of 1898 compass the
defeat of G. K. Davis for U. S. Senator,
the republican party of Minnesota
might as well give mp the ghost. It's
death knen would ring. -Anoka Union.
Mr.. Breckenridge, when asked by one
of our citizens if it was true that he
had any political aspirations for an Of
fee down in the First district, stated
that it was honor enough for him to be
a private citizen of the United States.

Brown county alliancers propose to
hold their convention on the 9th, and
make up their nominations out of Sc
lections from both the Republican and
Democratic nominations, as far as they
can be agreed upon. This strikes us as
one of the best ways for the alliance
vote to make its power feit.-Redwood

A book sale catalogue from New
York City was sent us last week by the
publisher and in it was an advertise.
ment of volume of the Police Gazette
containing the following announce

trait of a Felon or some Politician It
struck US as being very appropriate,
especially this vear.-Fairmont News.
The Minneapolis Journal thinks it is
not necessary to hold sessions of the
Legislature so often as biennially. 1t
would have the Legislature called to-
gether only when in the Judgment of
the Governor it might be deemed nec-
essary. No, thank you! With a St.
would mean a session every wear. Bet
ter bear the ills you have than fly to
others that you know not of.-Winona

In politics there is always scheming
and scheming. A man should know
what he is voting on, who he is voting
for and who he is voting with, but in
our day these things are difficult to
learn. The politician watches the move
ments and keeps his mouth shut. The
sucker goes around with his eyes shut
and his mouth wide open. Don't be a
sucker. Study both sides. Keep
your own counsel, and when the time
comes, vote as you please.-MIDwAI

The committee in charge Of :he Dem
ocratic state convention had an eye to
fitness. The decorations about the plat
form consisted of portraits of three of
their dead leaders, Eugene Wilson, AL
Ian Thurman and Grover Cleveland.
And in view of the fact that the state
leader they have just chosen sis not
feeling very we'll himself,'' right across
convention of the funeral directors of
Minnesota. Well see to it that ''our
old friend of thirty years gets decent
burial. Midway News.
One duty will devolve on the next
legislature and it is to be hoped that
its first act will be entitled an act to
repeal Chapter 46 of the laws of 1889,
being what is known as the Probate
Code. A worse botch was never at
tempted and it is disgrace to even q
Minnesota legislature which is no small
condemnation. 1t is worthless, burden
some and expensive, complicated and
vexatious, and the only legitimate use
for it is to put it to death and then, to
satisfy those who believe in future pun
ishment, let its estate be administered
under the Probate Code of 1889. -Fa air.

This will be happy year for this
country rs the starting point of a pro-
g1essive policy. The Republican party
must be true to its traditions. It is the
party of progress and it must lead in
whatever is of permanent advantage to
the nation. Lord John Russell once
said that the most conservative thing
in the world is progress. Soft is. Peo-
pie who are prosperously progressing
are not addicted to discomfort and
cranky and radical and impossible
schemes. The policy which will enlist
all the hands and brains in the nation
in willing and beneicent purpose, is
the policy most desirable. And the
reciprocity movement embodies that
policy. Minneapolis Journal.
