OPINIONS OF OUR EXCHANGES
Clipped For The Truth That Is
Found In Them.

The Legislature is talking of taking
run to Chicago to see the ground where
the Worlds Fair is going to be held,
that great concern the members are ex-
pected to vote the $3OO,0OO for. The
boys should certainly go down and see
the ground. at state expense. It is the
only show they will ever have of getting
there SO cheap and easy. -Waseca Rad
ical.
The investigation of the states prison
management reveals the fact that things
have been run very loose there. The
convicts have what whiskey they want,
are allowed to gamble, to dirt with the
women convicts, to 60 about the streets,
and in fact to do about as they have
mind to, there being no rules or stated
regulations. each guard running things
to suit himself. It was time Randall
got out. Waseca Radical.
The Union is republican paper and
it believes that every citizen, whether
white or black, should have right to
vote and have his vote counted. If it
knew the passage of the election bill
would defeat the republican ticket in the
next campaign. still it would be favor
able to it. The trouble with the repub.
lican party to-day is the fear of results.
Too much wavering is dangerous and
the party will be taught a lesson some
day. Union.
In spite of all the attacks upon it and
its seeming unpopularity last fall, the
reciprocity attachment to the tariff bill
is daily vindicating the wisdom of its
sponsors. Disproving the falsehoods
of its opponents regal ding higher

practical refutation which the quota.
tions of the markets afford, quickening
old industries and establishing new,
stimulating agricultural production
along broader lines by bringing more
consumers to the producer, giving gen
eral confidence to business and afford
ing wider opportunities for labor than
this or any other country ever knew.

Senator Matt Quay made speech IN
the U. S. Senate on the 10th, circum.
stantially denying the many vile Sian.
ders which have So long been hurled
upon him. While Republicans have
never doubted Mr.. QuaY's ability to
vindicate himself, they have been some-
times impatient at his neglect to do so.
Yet, it must be remembered that his de.
tractors simply made accusations and
in no case attempted to prove their as
sertions. It is an unfortunate trait of
the human mind, especially if it has not
been trained to reason correctly, that
mere assertions are frequently accepted
by it as having all the authority of cyl.
dence. 1t is dealing very urjustly with
a man to consider him a rascal because
some scoundrel says he is.-Chatfie]d

There have been combines, but that
between the vets and the drys of the
North Dakota Senate, by which re.sub.
mission and capitol removal were de-
feated, comes nearer to successful
mixing of antagonistic elements of the
characteristics of oil and water than
ever before accomplished. The prohi-
tionists of North Dakota may be of the
crank order, as has been charged
against them, but after their defeat of
the re.submission question in the State
Senate, they must be credited with hav.
ing one or more shrewd political lead
ers. To make the combine they did
required both brains and tact, as well
as politicians conscience, to which

Prominent educators recently met in
ST. Paul and expressed themselves in
favor of increasing the State high-school
appropriation to $500 for each high
school. They were also in favor Of add
ing.to the number of beneficiary high
schools, and discussed several improve
ments calculated to increase the eficien-
cy of the sYstemiby bringing it more com
pletely under state supervision. There
is no better way to advance the educa-
tional interests of the state than by build
ing up our high schools. They place
