All this talk about Gov. Merriam as
piring to succeed G. X. Davis in the
United States senate is simply nonsense.
However, it would be good idea for
the Repu blicans to elect State senators
this fall who are known to be friendly
to Davis. PRINCETON UNION.
It is understood that Bill Irwin will
stump this district in the interest of the
Alliance ticket in general and Baker in
particular. This great criminal lawyer
would make a fit companion for Baker.
They are both good stumpers, and both
are working for what doodle there is
in it--MANKATo FREE PRESS.
School buildings erected nowadays
should be supplied with every modern
convenience. water sewerage and fur
mace heat. Pupils of the public schools
should be made as comfortable and more
so than they are at home. It is con-
ducive to regular attendance and study
to be surrounded by comforts, and
the public can we'll afford to foot the
bill ll.-Northfiel News.
The platform adopted by the Repub-
licans of this State does not suit the
Prohibitionists. Well, it was not built
for that purpose. ''Live and let live
is the motto of fliberal-minded Republi-
cans Prohibition is out of the question
in Minnesota. Public sentiment is
against Prohibition in this State. II
there was prohibitory law on the
statue books to-day it could not be en-
forced. PRINCETON UNION.
1t is little curious to find a leading
democratic organ, which has most vii
lainously tradrced Mr.. Blaine, now
paying the following tribute to him:
ssMr. Blaine has again shown himself
the most intellectual, most spirited and
most powerful of all republicans. A
man like this is worth studying as an
element of national movement, for he
bids fair at the present moment to WELD
great influence, not alone upon his own
party, bat upon all parties. He is the
greatest American to-day Pipestone

Jas. H. Baker, OF the second congress
sional district is the only counterfeit low
tariff man who succeeded in passing
himself for the true currency without be-
ing detected by the farmers. DonnellY
and Merriam tried but the former
failed ANONYMOUSLY and the total fail
ure of the latter remains to be complet-
ed. Should Baker receive the demo
cratic nomination the best class of
democrats in the district would vote
and work for the honest Norwegian
whose course in congress would be in
line with their expectations. FAIRFAX
CRESCENT.
James G. Blaine is making the most
valiant fight for reciprocity that has
ever been waged in this country, and,
if he can accomplish what Grant and
Arthur tried to do and failed, it will be
the croWning achievement of his long
and brilliant career. 1t is the best kind
Of protection, without the objection Of
high tariff, and which, while building
up manufacturing in our country,
makes market for them, for it is plain
that we have no use for the one without
the other. The idea seems TO grow as
it is discussed and better understood,
and that some step in the direction pro-
posed by Mr.. Blaine will be taken, can
hardly be doubted. It should be given a
start and trial, at least, that it can be
tested. -NoRTHFIELD NFWs.
As the time for holding the Democra.
tic Congressional convention approach
es, the more apparent it becomes that a
man will not be found willing to make
the race. Those who have heretofore
been fayorably mentioned all decline to

be considered and absolutely refuse to
accept if nominated. The situation in
which the Democrats of the Second dis
trict thus find themselves is painful and
truly awkward. A large majority of
the members Of the party strenuously
object to the endorsement of Baker, and
it row looks as though the convention
would meet, decide to make no nomin-
alton and adjourn. It may be, however,
that enough Bakeries will be found in
the convention to control its action and,
if so, his endorsement will follow as q
matter Of course. -M.ANKATo FREE
