NEWSPAPER MUTATIONS.

MOnteVlOeO LedueT: OuI legislators
are busily engaged upon schemes for
cheapening the value of money. Would
it not be we'll for them to give some
thought to schemes for enhancing
the value of credit. 1t is gilt-edged
credit that makes money cheap.
St. Paul News: One week more re-
mains for Legislative work, and from
the present indications an enormous
number of pending measures will new
er be heard of more. This is undoubt
eddy the best thing which could hap
pen for the public. 1t is.not likely that
many meritorious measures will be
lost.
Chatfeld Democrat: It is strange
how muchmisrule anAmerican will bear
as long as he believes he is not bossed
Let him once get the idea, however,
that an attempt is being made to boss
him, and he is likely to do any sort of
foolish thing to maintain his dignity
and assert his sovereignty. He is a
good natured and too careless sover-
eign when he is led, but mighty dis
agreeable and stubborn one when an
attempt is made to drive him.
N. W. Agriculturist: In spite of the
low price of cattle the number of head
owned in the Northwest has steadily
increased, and the sheep industry has
grown enormously. This is one of the
hopeful signs for the future of farming
in this region. The fertility of farms
will be kept up and increased instead
of being carried off to market in crops
of small grain. Farming without stock
is robbery of the land, and while
stock has not been profitable, on the
average, for five years past, it is all the
more likely to make good returns dur
ing the five years to come. There is
certainly no future for the farm where
no stock is kept. 1t must decline in
crops and in value every year.
Northfeld News: The Lac qui
Parle County Press interviewed Rep
resentative Larson recently, and found
that there is no show whatever for
temperance legislation with the pres
ent legislature. The News has always
told temperance people that their true
friends were in the Republican party.
The present Legislature is not being
bothered to any great extent by tenn
perance advocates, but mark the pre-
diction, that as soon as a Republican
Legislature is elected that they will be
found plentiful about the capital in
sisting on legislation in their interest.
They will also be found plentiful doing
all they can to defeat Republicans.
They have an anti-Republican legis-
lature now and should go to them for
what legislation they think they need
Fairmont Sentinel: The last con-
gress passed resolution instructing
the postmaster general to try the ex-
pertinent of free delivery of mail in a
few of the small towns of the Union,
as an experiment. This week Post
master Hill received notice from the
department that Hon. John Lind has
recommended Fairmont as the town
in which to try the experiment in Min
nesota, or at least this part of the state.
So we may expect soon to have our
mail delivered at our doors for time
The big majority received in Fairmont
and Martin county elected John Lind
to Congress last fall, and he appreci-
ates the fact and has shown his appre-
citation in very nice way on this as
we'll as other occasions.
Sioux Falls Press: The Farmers
Alliance company of this state is sail
ing through troubled waters which it
is feared will prove to be the breakers
which cover the rocks of disaster
Last November a mortgage was given
by the company upon warehouse at
Aberdeen. Yesterday the mortgage
was foreclosed. This disaster, coming
so closely upon the heels of the failure
of the Farmers Elevator company, OF
which H. L. Loucks was president
causes a decided sensation. George
Crosse is president of the alliance com
pany. In both cases failure can be
credited to too much politics and too
little attention to business. Expert
ence will prove to farmers that they
have sacrificed good thing-whict
the alliance undoubtedly is-by pros.
tituting it to purposes for which it az
never intended.
