NEWSPAPER NOTES.

une: No we haven't anything against
your 25O,0OO barrel mill, and are glad
to hear that its wheel go round as US
ual. Lay it to the Office shears-we
clipped the item out of an exchange.
The Executive Committee of the
Minnesota Editors and Publishers
Association recently held a meeting
in St. Paul, and took measures for the
regular summer excursion. 1t viii
transpire during the early days of the
"leafy month of June;" and will visit
Washington City. This will make 8
pleasant trip for those fortunate edi.
tors who can afford the time and ex
pense.
WE MINGLE OUR TEARS WITH HISN.
St. Peter Herald: The citizens oi
Fairmont are going to present to the
town the "Deestrick Skewl." Our sym
pathies are extended to the half that
sit back of the footlights.
1NHuMAN CRUELTY TO DEMOCRATS.
Pennington Tribune: The new dem
ocratic governor of Iowa, in his inaug-
ural address, referred to prohibition as
the "cruel violation of one of the most
valuable of human rights" Comment
is unnecessary.
THE SECRET OF NEWSPAPER SUCCESS.
The St. Paul Globe is giving nearly
everybody and everything a compli-
mentary boom for the governorship.
Tho Globe is a great fun-loving news
paper and it knows how to dispense
taffy and tickle the conceit of the con-
ceited, and make ponywogs think they
are whales. Leader.
SHOULD BE ADOPTED EVERYWHERE.
We noticed the other day that some
labor convention passed resolve rec
ommending that all labor contracts
be made at so much per hour. 1t
seems to us that this is very sensible
move, which would settle all questions
of an eight-hour day or any other.
1t should be adopted everywhere. We
however, mistrust that most men want
ten-hours pay for fo- eight-hours labor.

Madison Press: Clifton Holden, who
was convicted at the May term of
court, 1889, at Redwood Falls, of the
murder of his cousin, Frank Dodge,
has been sentenced to be hanged. They
d. deal out justice down that way
once in while, after all. The chanc-
es are that Redwood county will cease
to be resort for men who have in
contemplation the committing of muir
der, in the future.
A vINDICATIoN THAT DIDN'T v1NDICATE.
Todd Co. Argus: The friends of
the American Building and Loan AS
sociation of Minneapolis seem to think
that because the attorney general does
not proceed against the association and
close it up that this is complete vim
dication from the charges made against
it. This is a mistake. The concern
has already been convicted of very
loose business principles and simply
because there is hole in the law big
enough for it to creep through does
not make it worthy of public conf
dence.
THE ALLIANCE ENDORSED.
Mankato Free Press: Charles A.
Pillsbury says to a Minneapolis report
er in regard to the action of the Chica-
go board of t. 1ale in cutting off mark
ct quotations to the bucket shops that
it is step in the right direction, and
that all dealing in cultures" should be
stopped by law. Mr.. Pillsbury further
says that all sales should bear the de-
livery of actual articles, and that
gambling in grain is in large part re-
sponsible for the low prices that pre-
vail. The Minneapolis miller will
and many people to agree with him in
these remarks.
A LAMBERTON VIEW.
All this talk about what certain men
now claim to know, has but little ef-
feet on nine-tenths of the people. If
Holden's friends-for such they now
claim to be-knew these matters, that
if true tend to prove his innocence,
why have they been SO long in coming
forward with it! 1t looks to us like a
clean-cut sympathy racket, and it
won't "down" with most people
There's altogether to much mawkish
sentiment and sentimental slush over
red-handed murderers, nowadays,
and the quicker the people frown it
down the better for the enforcement
of our laws and the safety of homes
and human life.-Lamberton Leader.
RARE CHANCES FOR HOME SEEKERS.
News Messenger: Our eastern
friends will be very liable to come and
see us this spring. The general pass-
enger agents of the Western roads,
after two days session, have agreed
to run series of so-called home seek
ers excursions to this section of the
country beginning in April. A rate
of one fare for the round trip was de-
cided upon, except that to points west
of the Missouri river or west of st.
Paul and Minneapolis the rate shall be
the one-half-way rate to the river or to
