CORRUPT IN '89 IGNORANT AND IN
COMPETENT IN '91.
The present legislature has drawn
the shroud of oblivion over it's ex-
istence. It would be blessing to
the State of Minnesota if it could
wipe the session just closed and it's
effects from the pages of it's his
tory. We appear to be going
backward instead of forward. The
legislature of 1889 was, without
doubt, the most corrupt body of
men that ever met as representa-
tives of the people; and the legis-
lature of 1891 stands without a
parallel in ignorance and incom-
potency. The passage of the Du-
luth and Winnipeg bill has brand
ed it with dishonesty also. There
were a few honorable men but they
no doubt appreciate the advice of
Cato, to his son, that ''when I'M
scrupulous men hold the reins of
power, the post of honor is pri-
vate station. Glencoe Enterprise.
1T BROKE THE RECORD.
The Alliance-Democratic legisla-
ture has adjourned. It broke all
records for extravaganza. It not
only spent more money on itself
than any previous legislature, but
it's appropriations are over half a
dollars in excess of even
the Republican legislature of 1889.
The tax levy for State purposes
has been raised from IL to 80
mills. An exchange very peril
nently says: ''The Republicans
were fercely criticised for their
extravaganza in State affairs dur
ing the last campaign. But now
the fact appears that no Repubi-
can Legislature ever cost the State
so much money as this one has, or
made such large appropriations.
The people generally are grooming
over their taxes this year. What
will they say next year, and the
year after, when they are called
upon to pay the largely increased
State levy saddled on them by a
Democrat Alliance legislature. -

THE REPUBLICAN LEAVEN.
The Republican minority in the
lower house of the legislature de-
serves great deal of gratitude for
heading off vicious and unfair leg
lslation. 1t has made record for
the Republican party that can be
pointed to with a great deal of sat-
lsfaction. The men to whom es-
pecial gratitude belongs for effect
i've organization and judicious man.
agement, are j. M. Diment, of
Steele county; F. E. Searle, of
9tearns county; l.. K. Stone and
c. N. Bell, of Ramsey county; O.
B. Turrell, of Redwood county;
Henry Feig, of Kandiyohi county;
Allen J. Greer, of Wabasha county;
and O. D. Kinney, of St. Louis
county. These gentlemen have
watched the interests of the people
and did their utmost to prevent
any legislation which would reflect
discredit upon the State. They
are entitled not only to the thanks
Of the Republican party, but all
good people of the State as well,
for their earnest and able efforts in
behalf of good government and
practical legislation. -NortA7Sezd

THE DULUTH AND WINNIPEG STEAL.
Last week a bill passed the lower
house of the legislature making a
grant of land to the proposed Du-
[uth & Winnipeg railroad of ten
sections to the mile. It was killed
in the senate. The delegation in
the house from this district voted
for it with the exception of Hon.
J. II. Sheets. It was only few
short years ago that we listened to
a speech in the court house here by
the Hon. H. G. Stivers. In that
speech he arraigned the Republi-
can party Of the country and Of
this State for SuuanderinU the NH
