THE NEW LOTTERY Law.

1t is noticeable that good many pa
pers in neighboring districts now ap-
pear without their lottery advertise
ments, although they have evidently
been among the most remunerative in
cidents. They are apt to throw out in
dications that the new dlspensa.ion has
not promoted their felicity. The law
does not prohibit the papers from the
publication of these notices. but it
close the mails to all publications con-
tanning them. No convenient substi-
tute has yet been devised. 1t is noted,
however, that many other people are
not as prompt to accept the suggestion
of the new statute as the newspapers.
The man who sends 81 to the Louisiana
or any other lottery by mail becomes as
liable to prosecution as any Off
Ger of the company. Special
agencies are afforded the adj
ministration of the law for obtaining
information Oh the subject. The infor-
nation from Washington is that Wig
orous attempts are to be made to make
the statute effective. 1t is too soon to
determine the full effect it may have;7
but it has created an atmosphere of
gloom and Encouragement about the
lottery abode. and enthused the element
that is so calamity fighting in Louisiana
against the renewal of its charter. Ii
this is defeated in 1892 the institution
will be driven from the state. 1t will
become wanderer and tramp, with no
home. Its only chance will be to buy
up Nevada or some pocket state, and its
business will be so embarrassed that it
will be unable to make the inveStm ent

TOUCHES ON THE HEAD.

What would be more interesting than
joint discussion OF the political issues
of the day between the two candidates
for governor, Merriam and Wilson? 1t
would be war of the eIements-money
and brains. But we can safely predict
that no such discussion will take place.
Among the various accomplishments of
the gentleman who was raised in bank
may be mentioned the faculty of keep
ing out of trouble.-Stillwater Call.
The interview with Gov. Merriam
must have been written by himself and
copy handed to each of the Duluth
papers. Since writing the above in the
Duluth Times we find editorial refer
ence to the ''type-written interview pre-
pared by the governor for publication"
The governor is good to the Duluth re-
porters-just now:.Duluth Sun.
The people of Duluth are not satisfied
with Gov. Merriam. He did not succeed
while here. Nor is. the opposition of
Duluth based solely upon his neglect
and refusal to do justice to Duluth's
important business interests. Duluth
is not blind to the fact that Gov. Mer-
Ram is one of cOterie of wealthy men,
Republicans and Democrats, who pro-
pose to control the affairs of the state in
their personal interests, and that parti-
sanship is used only as cloak to cover
their real designs, and whip to drive
into line members of either party. The
entire state is just as much interested
in the defeat of William r. Merriam
and the false principles he represents as
IS Duluth.-Duluth Times.
Republicans cannot avoid noticing
the marked contrast between the recep-
ton accorded MI. Owen, the Alliance
candidate for governor. and that ten
dered w. r. Merriam, the Merriam
candidate" for reelection, at the st.
Cloud fair last week. 1t adds to the
many sources of annOyances with which
they are already overburdened. 1t will
be wonder if poor Joel doesn't give up
openly before the campaign is half
over. 1t has already been acknowledged
by the Republican organs that the head
OF the ticket has been the troublesome
factor, the handicap of the campaign
conductors. -Winona Herald.
-
The Republican papers thus far have
brought but one charge against Judge
WitSon-that he is attorney for rail
road company. There is hardly good
lawyer IN the state who has not. at one
time or another, been employed by rail-
roads. Right here in st. Cloud most of
our leading members of the bar have
been railroad attorneys. Judge Wilson
has been on the bench and in the Iegls-
lature and congress. In these positions
he made his record. If he did anything
there which was not right-not in the
interest of the masses-why not bring
it out? This railroad attorney" racket
is too old and too weak. Give us some
thing of consequence.-StC Cloud Times.

NrKINLEY,s RACE.

1t is not believed that MCKINLEY, the
architect Of the tariff bill that is radi-
cally wrong in principle and burden
some III detail. will be elected to con-
greSS in the Ohio district that was re-
shaped by the Democrats for his defeat.
1t has had Democratic majority in re-
cent years of from f,500 to 1900, but In
10000 votes that is not safe reliance
when powerful agencies are conferred
there. Probably there will be more i'll
terest in this contest than there was in
REEDS district. All the great manu-
featuring interests fostered in his bill
will feel special interest in MCKlN-
LEY'S election, and the gentlest pressure
will cause the fat to flow in obese
streams. He will stand as their great
champion, and they cannot afford to
have him beaten. 1t will not be ques-
toned that the Republican managers
haye singular aptitudes for the effective
use of money in political campaigns.
Aside from all the agencies to be
brought into use by the Republicans,
there is within quite prevalent to stand
by man who has made a national rep
utation. This was shown in REEDS
district. There is local pride in having
the Immediate possession of man
whose name is on the public lips, and
who may be regarded as in reach of
presidential lightning. MCKINLEY will
draw votes because he is believed to be
big man. Perhaps it was not sus-
pected that he was so much larger
than other men till he went to
Washington and spread out. But in
the towns of his district the Republicans
are gathering and looking up to him as
party Colossus, and others are conced-
ing that he 5 IA mighty smart fellow"
Quite recently eX-Congressman Con-
VERSE. of that district, one of the most
noted Democrats, but little out of date
on the tariff question, addressed the
wool growers in favor of MCKINLEY,
pronouncing him ''too great man" to
be left out of congress. If he is elected.
or makes notable run, he will surely
be the choice of his party for governor,
and one of the liyeliest in the presi-
dental arena. He ought to be beaten
5000 for his Ubiquitous tariff policy, but
those who think he will be are likely to
be greatly disappointed.

NOT KILLED YET.

How is this? Somehow the impress
sion obtained that the Republican dag
ger had some time since found the vitals
of the surviving relic of barbarism" in
Utah. and ears were were attuned for
the expiring groans of the Saints. Here
now is the annual report of the Utah
commission alleging that, in spite of all
the crushing out. pOlygamy is still the
buoyant, active feature of the system
The old revelation in its favor still
stands unmitigated and no effort has
been induced to secure one more in ae-
cordance with United States civiliza-
ton. In fact this commission finds that
more legislation is requisite to repress
its progress. 1t is urged that
larger powers be given this re-
form agency and the Idaho test
law be applied. The only material
break in the domination of the Saints
seems to be in Salt Lake City. There
is hardly another county not under
Mormon control. But in spite OF the
growth of Salt Lake City, and the impor-
tatiOn of prOselytes, the census shows
that there is hardly growing section
in the West that has Increased so slowly
in the past decade. The percentage
was but 43.44. Mormonism is draw
back in a material way and a nuisance
generally, But special source of ap-
prehension in regard to it and its posi-
bilIties is developed in the recent cleo
ton in Wyoming. 1t is to be feared
that there has been tampering with the
monopoliSt of moral ideas that has been
for thirty years trying to put it into the
mortuary condition. The Salt Lake
Tribune is paper as intensely Repub-
lican as it is anti-Mormon. 1t says of
the recent election in Wyoming that is
to give two Republican senator's:
I'VE are not at all proud of the result in
Wyoming. The only satisfactory feature
about it is that the Saints kept the bargain
with the delegate to the last congress- He
fought everything which was opposed to the
Mormons in congress last winter. We fought
everything in the constitution of Wyoming
which put anything like test on the Nor
mons. AS a delegate to the last Republican
convention he did not want anything men
toned about the Mormons, and after thus
proving his loyalty to the church the Saints
kept their bargain and had their slaves in
Wyoming vote for him and mis- ticket"
The Mormon men and all the Mormon
women in that state voted solidly the
Republican ticket, and, it is alleged, had
votes enough to determine the result.
| They control the member of congress,
and will evidently have mortgage on
| the coming senators. Under these cir
| cumstances, anti-Mormon measures in
congress will not greatly distress the
Saints. L here may be good deal of
thunder in it, but little rude and de-
| structiye lightning.

TARIFE PRoyERBs.

There are some political proverbs in
the platform adopted by the Fifth dis
trict Democrats at Little Falls yester-
day which have touch of the GROVER
CLEVELAND terseness. and which
would make admirable texts for Demo
cratic campaign speeches and campaign
literature.
We take the liberty to Gull out few
for the special consideration of our
readers.
Here are samples of genuine tariff
gold dust:
''The supreme and controlling polit
ical issue OF the present time is con-
test between true and false theories of
federal taxation"
'Publie taxes should be levied only
for public purposes"
",The existing tariff upon imports is a
colossal fabric of unjust fayoritism."
The MCKINLEY bill is the browning
masterpiece of industrial oppression"
mo representative who voted for
that bill is worthy of 4 reelection"
1.-THE excessive tariff has given to
England the commercial lordship of the
seas
1.-The rights of the taxpayer are para
mount to the rights of the tax gath
erer.''
1.-The besI customers for the wheat
Of America are the nations whose prod
acts are barred out by the robber tar
itf."
"This system of high taxation has
impoverished the agriculturist.
1T gives the capitalist monopoly of
the home market for his wares.a land sub
jects the wage Garner to the unchecked
competition arising from free trade in
labor
Let every Minnesota voter clip out
these proverbs and paste them up by
his Preside where he can read and study
them day by day.
And, if he is an honest man, open to
honest convictions, he will vote the
Democratic ticket at the November
election.

A POTATO PHILOSOPHER.

A consumer of 81 potatoes vest erday
called attention to retail quotations on
the Canadian side of the line at So cents
a bushel. He had listened to predictions
that in the winter the figures would be
greatly enlarged, and remembered that
the MCKINLEY bill imposes a duty of
25 cents bushel on potatoes. He had
information also that the potato crop in
the Canadian districts was almost phe-
nOmenal in its abundance, and could be
drawn upon to supply the tables of the
toilers who may be forced to go without
if the prices go up much higher. As a
protection to the farmer he TO und this
duty delusien and more frequently a
disaster. When there was the wonted
abundant crop on this side, it made
no difference whether there was any
duty on the potato or not. The prices
would be substantially the same here as
in Canada, and none to speak of would
be sent either way. Now there is pretty
near failure on this side. The locali-
ties and individuals that have any con-
siderable surplus are few. Those who
have them are getting prices that are
more than abundantly remunerative.
They are the small number-the few
while the consumers comprise the en-
tire communities. The vastly greater
proportion of farmers have no potatoes
to sell, and many of them have to buy
for their own tables and tor seed. Per-
haps they will see how they are uro-
tected by paying the government Is
cents bushel for all the potatoes they
buy over the line. The duty is bur-
den when the crop fails and of 10 effect
in ordinary times. That was the view
of the potato consumer and philosopher.
