STATE OPINIONS.

We haven't much sympathy with the
feeling of despair over political re-
verses. The hour of defeat ought to
bring out the best metal of a man or a
party. There must be causes for defeat
when it comes, and the present duty is
to find them, and resolutely set about TO
cure the evils and set right the uiisun-
derStandingS. Neither is it of any use
to murmur. That's easier said than
DONE" Do it; for it can be done.-
Verndale Journal.
There are great many people who
do not believe in Donneily. and do not
consider him q great Statesman or d safe
political leader; but he has seldom been
accused of stupidity. A circul letter,
however, which he has recently Seht
out to members of the Alliance, leads
to TIE conclusion that, in the language
of his beloved Bacon, his ambition has
"o'erleaped itSelf."-FarIDault Dem
ocrat.
Great West Fish is said to be in Flor
ida. attending convention of the
Southern Farmers Alliance with
view to securing a union of the Mime
sofa Alliance with the former body. In
view of the fact that Fish has been re
peatedly kicked out of the Alliance in
this state, his seif-impOsed mission to
Florida is about as cool piece Of nerve
as ii he volunteered TO secure the an
nPYation of Canada.-StillWater Demo

Ignatius Donnelly signs for the pres
dency of the Farmers Alliance. The
Republicans should encourage this, as
it would be the death of the Alliance
movement i'll Minnesota 10 load them
up with ponnelly. -JackSon Republic.
Donnelly is layin his plans to be
president of the state Alliance. lie
claims he has done almost everything
to help and is entitled to the place. 1t
is only the wish of other parties that he
will get tnere--Madeia Times.
A good deal of time will be consumed
by the legislature III considering lrgis-
iatlye reappOrtionment matters. but it
will be time wasted. Experience has
shown that state senators are not given
to legislating themselves out of Office
when there is the least shadow of an eX-
cuSe for avoiding it. 1t is tie duty of
the next legislature to reappOrtion the
state, however, and every senator who
votes against proper superintendent
bill. because its passage would require
him to go before the people again in
two years, should lie marked by his con-
Stituents and never again given the OPP
portunity to betray them.-Crookston
Times.
Donneily is out again, this time in a
begging circular to the Alliance to elect
him president of that organization.
Those Republicans WHO recognize III the
Alliance dangerous enemy that should
be put out of the way as quickly as DOS
sible. SHOULD lend the agile author of
Caesars Column" all the aid they can
in his latest NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ar

There is every probability that the
prohibition question in Minnesota will
be submitted TO the people of the state
at special election next tall. Many OF
the new members of the legislature
have expressed themselves fayorably to
such course. The result of prohibit
ton in Iowa and other states will. APP
parently. not be needed. for there are
enthusiasts enough yet who believe that
Legislation will fulfill their fondest
hopes and expectations in this question
