iShed. that no one would miss II: but
then these individuals are bilious and
prejudiced. Just fancy the frauds that
would be perpetrated on the dear pub
lie if those five or six commissioners,
deputies, secretaries and chemists, who
pass their lime pleasantly at the capitol
were to find their occupation gone? Its
probably true that the dairy commits
sionerS do not detect much fraud in the
foods of the people. but they are al
ways willing 10 be Informed by others
who may find themselves "taken ill.,"
That is something for the thousands. of
dollars expended oyer salaries and
samples" Why should the taxpayers
grumble, anyway? A governor must
have officers to appoint, or how is he to
keep his election promises!
J. G. Donnelly-Parnell is one of the
greatest leaders Ireland has seen since
the days of O'Connell. This OShea
business is TO be regretted. but do not
think mans private affairs should en-
ter into his public life. If you were to
drag to light the private affairs of every
public man, what howl there would
be. 1t would be very serious matter
for the Irish people to change leaders,
and | think Parnell should be retained.
Gen. Becker. of the state railroad
commission, is an out and out Demo-
crat. Away back in 1859 he was the
Democratic candidate for governor, be-
ing defeated by Alexander Ramsey.
This is what he has to say respecting
the late election: IF ever again am
a delegate TO state Democratic con-
VentiOn L Will have resolution adopted
instructing the state central committee
to see that a straight Democratic ticket
is put up in every county and district.
1t was solely through the Endorsement
of Alliance candidates that Judge Viii
son was defeated. The Democrats had
the goyernorship within their grasp and
missed the glorious opportunity by in
dorSing candidates outside their ranks"
GOV. Merriam has at last been heard
from respecting the vacant judgeShip.
He explains that owing to accumulation
of business he has not had time to care
fully canvass the mass of recommended
tons made to him. Citizens may, how
ever, lat early date" expect to have
their curiosity gatiied as to who the
lucky individual is. Judge Morrison,
who is said to be candidate, got an
ugly dig from the evening Republican
organ yesterday. The governor was

whose claim may consist in the fact
that he was an unsuccessful candidate
for Office i'll the recent election"
The st. Cloud reformatory board is
credited with the intention of asking an
appropriation from the legislature of
100000. The members of the board
may want this appropriation, but it is
questionable whether they will get it..
The last legislature cut down the ap-
preparations with a merciless hand,
and the legislature to assem-
bic this winter promises TO
make thugs very lively for these spend
thrift public institutions. 1t is time a
halt were called upon some of them.
Had not economy been exercised two
years ago an enormous increase would
have had 10 be ordered in the tax levy,
which is already too high. There are
too many spending boards and commits
sions in this state-the board of correc-
tons and charities. to wit.
They lived together one week. Such
is the story told by woman suing for a
divorce i'll the district court. There is
no need in this instance to inquire: lis
marriage a failure?' The bonds of
matrimony had become unbearable
within a week; the failure must have
been so pronounced that the wonder is
the marriage ever took place. The only
explanation that can be given is that
''love is blind" The awakening was
short, sharp and terrible in its reality.
The gilt soon disappeared from the
gingerbread.
"Uninteresting cases" is the head
given to half a column of matter by a
twilight sheet last evening. Ii ''unin-
teresting," why devote so much space
to the cases?
Terrence Kenny has a mixed idea
respecting the English government and
people. There is nothing bad in his
opinion. which they will not stoop to,
providing it will retard the cause of
down-trodden Ireland. The question of
Parnell retaining The leadership of the
Irish parliamentary party was under
discussion yesterday, and Kenny said
"A government anda people that could

don't believe there is word of truth
in it."
j. e. Donnelly yesterday received in
formation that his brother, Judge Don.
nelly, OF Milwaukee, was being brought
forward as candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Senator Spoon
er. Judge DOnnelly's cause is being
espoused by Gov.-Elect Peck, for whose
election he did yeoman work. The
Judge Is well known in ST. Paul,
The Republican bosses in this county,
evidently have no time for a man in the
ranks of their own party who will not
sacrifice everything honorable and
decent at their bidding. When Coun-
cillor Mum and Register Bell decided
that. their outraged vanity demanded
that they set about devising some
scheme which should end in the sub
version OF. OF the will of the people,
every other candidate on the Re
publican county ticket was asked
to take hand in the con
test. This was deemed absolutely
necessary by Mr.. Bell in view of the
tact that the majority against him was
one OF the largest i'll the long list. w.
j. freaney did not desire to take part in
the contest. but he finally consented re.
luetantiy. "Charley'' Keller did the
same thing, but Judge Morrison. al
though the majority against him is small
as compared with that against Bell. en-
phatically declined to be party to any
such proceeding. T. A. REM also de-
clined to enter the combination.
The action of Judge Morrison angered
the bosses not little, and they have
decided to make war on the little Judge
in his canvass for seat Oil the district
court bench as the successor of Judge
SimOns. In view of the fact that the
friends of Judge Morrison have been
urging as one of the reasons WHY Gov
Merriam should appoint him to succeed
the late Judge Simons the statement
that the late campaign was costly and
Judge Morrison poor, the following dis
graceful fling in the columns of yester
days edition of the evening Republi
can organ IS decidedly interesting:
Upon wbomsoever the governor may thinl

may consist III the fact that he was an un
successful candidate for Office in the recen
election, and that he ought to have officia
