The true theory of government is tc
1 protect the weak. The practical resul,
of the present system appears to be te
protect the strong. In all this there is
reason for discomfort, and this discon.

/ The lottery scheme in North Dakots
is called a measure to raise the revenue
Better come out fatfooted and call il
by its right name. If it ever gets out
that North Dakota had to resort to any
such disreputable scheme to raise money
that notion will, in its injurious effcts,
discount all the stories of drouths and
blizzards that ever were printed. This
lottery scheme is simply suicidal. =

The St. Paul Herald states that the
monthly expenses of the dairy commits
sion for salaries alone. are almost ST..
200, while the total cost of the commits
sion will be over $4,000 year. The
commission is doing a good work for
the state, but it is a question whether
the work cannot be as well done at
considerable reduction of the expense.

1t is to be hoped that the celebration
of the centennial anniversary of the su-
preme court will be the last celebration
of the kind that will be held until the
Worlds Fair and for long time
thereafter. We are great people, but
the frequency of this -glorifcation
jamboree, known as the GER rtennial Gel
ebration, is becoming just a little te-
dious.-St. Paul Dispatch.
Mr.. Windom's position in national
politics was fully delineated by the
Midway News about year ago, and
at that time not only the dailies. but
even some OF our wiser state weeklies,
laughed at the proposition of his occu.
pying the head Of the ticket. The fact
is that through fortuitous combination
of circumstances Mr.. Window has,
since the admission of four new West
ern States, been at least half a length
ahead in the Presidential race, and he
is now gaining quite perceptibly.-

A brilliant scheme has been devised in
Minneapolis to divide the state into two
Judicial districts, that portion lying east
and north of the Mississippi to be known
AS the northern and the remainder of
the territory as the southern. As the
sawdust city lies chiefly on the south
side of the river, together with three
fourths of the business in the federal
courts, it would be snap for that town
scarcely relished in other quarters
Minnesota needs two districts just about
as much as a cat needs two tails

A republican political orator residing
in the central part of the state, and one
who was prominent in the late campaign
as a worker, chanced to be in this city
last week and in the course of geneIa al
conversation remarked that it seemed
to be in the air that Congressman John
Lind would be the next nominee for
governor and that in that event there
would be a double fight in Nico.let coun
ty between Senator Ives and Represen-
tative Davis for Lind's shoes. It is won
derful how much these politicians from
central Minnesota know.-ST. PETER
TRIBUNE.
A good many Minnesotians who went
to Tacoma and other points in Wash
ington under the stimulus of the imi-
grafton excitement last year, have come
back with the intention of spending
| their days in this state. They report
that every town is full of men looking
for work; that the good land has been
taken up and the climate is not healthy.
Minnesota, certainly. is a good state in
which to live. The climate is infinitely
better than that of the Pacific States;
there is yet plenty of good land; the
communities are growing up sturdily
and prosperously. The people who
.sstick'' here are better off in every
way Minneapolis Journal.
