OPINIONS OF EDITORS.

We understand the railroad men are
fighting the anti-railway measures pro-
posed in the present legislature. And
to the members Of that latter body we
say ''be just and fear not" to be just,
with the railroads as with the people.
Give them all a fair and equitable SHOW.
-Shakopee Courier
The question of holding annual Ses-
sionS of he legislature has been pretty
thoroughly discussed by the people
throughout the state, ana if the opinion
which we CLEAN by peruSal of our eX-
changes is correct one the sentiment
is generally in favor of a change. Let
the sessions be shortened to two months.
and hold them annually instead of BIZ
ennially.-SwiftM Monitor.
The author OF bill recently intro
duced III the state senate wants every
article appearing in newspaper signed
with the name of the writer. The idea
seems foolish one, yet few newspaper
men would object. Perhaps the most
serious objection lies in the fact that
undue prominence would thus be given
the writer personally, fact which the
public might soon find Objectionable.
The editorial We is modesty itself
compared with the egOSin of this pro-
posed scheme. journal.
A bill is pending in the senate which
provides for the publication of free
text books. This bill is receiving a
great deal of opposition. Such a bill
should have become law long ago.
Why is it that bill which, if it should
become a law, would be wonderful
auxiliary toward tile education of the
youth OF this state, should receive such
emphatic opposition II should pass
without a dissenting vote. Hector Mir
rOr.
We believe the charges and accusa-
tionS against Miss Mcdonald to be un-
just and without foundation. Give the
young woman chance and we predict
she will fill the office with credit to her
self and the work. We for one shall re-
fuse to believe her guilty of any treach-
erOuS deeds until we see some even
faint proofs TO that teffect.-The Western
Guard.
Investigation of the affairs of the state
prison by senate committee still goes
merrily on. For the sake of retren cFl-
ment and reform it is hoped that the
committee will not whitewash the prison
officials as the committee on insane hos
pitals did the managers of those inStitu-
tions two years ago. To our mind there
is lot of queer business being done in
the prisons of this country that will not
bear the light of day and ours is 70 eX-
ceptiOn to the rule. Let the inveStiga-
tion be full and complete .-Sibley In

ing up the protection fences in this di-
rection, or who can be stirred by ap-
peals for loyalty TO British rule. The
farmers are dubious element, as the
protectioniSts are beginning to find that
class in this country. They are de-
pressed, and looking for some relief.
MACDONALD is trying the BLAINE act
with them. They are to be protected
against the competition of United
States producers and have new
markets opened for them in the
West Indies. South America and
China. Any fancies that are likely TO
catch the horns of ignorance or preju-
dice are made to do service. The Lib
erals are for their business interests
alone, without regard TO sentiment or
influences over the water. They want
the fence pulled down between them and
the United States, and only kept up on
the coast side. Their hard charge to
meet is that this tends to eventual an-
neXation. That is not quite a popular
idea there. and it may be suggested that
Iio one is hurting over it in this coun-
try. There is good deal Of brogue
scattered about some of the provinces
that does not induce the feeling Gen.

From the above statement it will be
noticed that The FlorelIa. Northwestern.
Union and Vermllion Range Mining
companies have ''accepted" the liberal
provisions of the law Of 1881, but the
state auditor has never been informed
that either of these corporations ha re
ever mined a ton of iron ore. and con-
sequently they have never paid a cent in
the way of taxes Oh their mineral lands.
If some inducement is absolutely nee
eSsary to induce capitalists to work the
productive ore banks of Northern Min
nesota. why is it that such lands are
held at fabulous prices? If they cannot
be worked with profit unless they es-
cape taxation, it would seem that the
prices placed on such property are far
too high, and in justice to all holders of
farm lands and city property it would
only seem fair that the price of
these mineral lands be fixed 2 notch OF
two lower and then be taxed as the
fundamental laws of the state contem-
dlate. The facts of the matter are that
the business done by the Minnesota and
Chandler mining companies is I'M
mensely profitable. The ore is easily
mined, easily and cheaply transported
high price in the market to which it is
shipped, which by the way is Cleveland,
O., not a ton being worked in this
state.
The representatives of the agricult-
ural interests of Minnesota will be
sadly derelict in their duties if they fail
to remedy this great injustice. If there
is any business in this great common
wealth that needs exemption from taxa
ton it is farming. and yet no one would
for moment seriously contemplate the
passage of law which should provide
that farmer pay tax of say one-half
cent per bushel on whatever surplus he
might have in his wheat crop, '.in lieu
of all other taxation If he raised all
corn, barley. fax and no wheat he
would escape taxation. Such a prop
osition would be laughed to scorn, and
heralded far and wide as the crowning
act of semi-anarchistic farmers, intoX-
icated with political success. And yet
this is exactly the kind of law which
was passed i'll 1881, and called san act
to encourage mining in this state by

RATHER RAPID.

One of the dancers in the Natural
Cas- company, which appears at the
Metropolitan this week, comes here
laden with recent matrimonial honorS
and disasters of the most Kaleidoscope
variety. If the telegraphic dispatches
are accurate, she concentrated the entire
essence of Miss BRADDON'S novels into
the experiences of three short days. On
a Friday morning she met an eighteen
year-old colt sired by Colorado bank
er, but what kind OF banker-Whether
national banker, or faro banker, or
a sand banker-doeS not clearly appear.
After courtShip protracted over fif-
teen minutes she married him: but, lest
the banker sire should be angry and dis
inherit his offspring, should he learn Of
his exploit. they vowed secrecy until
the father could be reconciled to being
responsible for the birth and rearing of
donkey. On Saturday morning, how
eVer.the banker discovered the true state
OF attalrs.and promptly cut off the young
husband with shilling. The Natural
Gas high kicker thereupon went into
executive session with her lord and
master on the subject of ways and
means, from which she promptly
emerged into the corridors of her hotel
I'D terrible state of nervous exhaustion,
followed by the aforesaid donkey and a
shower of bullets from a pistol in his
hands. When she had retreated with
an accordion skirt agility to a place of
safety. the bankers son turned his piS-
tol TOW ards the place where his own
brains would have been, had he had
any, and fired. Unfortunately, he did not
succeed IN even wOunding himself At
this point the hotel clerk and some of
the guests, arriving on the scene, with
rare presence of mind called a seven
year-old bell boy, who, with pitcher of
ice water and some responsiveness,
effected prompt and immediate rec
onciliation between the estranged
couple. On the following day the bride
left Colorado because her duty to the
Natural Cas- company made her. The
husband remained behind because his
creditors thought so much of him that
they would not let him go.
There are several explanations of this
delightful story, only two of which we
give. One is that it is all lie launched
on the credulOuS world for advertising
purposes. The other is that the quality
of whisky in Colorado must be pretty

TERRIBLE ALTERNATIVES.

Sometimes in the conduct of a law
suit, If such a course seems propltious
all attorney will concentrate his attack
Oh the character and motives of his op-
ponents. If there is any pretext, how
ever insufficient, On which to accuse
them of dishonesty or conspiracy, he
will make the court room ring with his
denunciationS. This is an admirable
style eff campaign If carried on adrOltly,
but mighty dangerous one if the pre-
text for it is so slim that the Jury can
see its flimsinesS or if the lawyer resort
ing to it fails to follow it up with vigor
and persistence. There is no good in
attacking the honesty of the other side
timidly or vacillatingly. If this sort of
warfare is once entered on. there can
be no let-up without complete disaster.
The attorney who utters a single inuen-
do against his opponents character. if
he would win his case, has to prove him
rascal, or, anyhow, make the jury
think he has. He cannot back out with
out suffering defeat.

officials. If ST. Paul can not pay 1T
debts, or its leading citizens are corrupt,
the GLOBE and the whole people want
to know it. The Evening Slanderer has
either got to go on or retreat. If it re-
treats it's lost. 1t brands itself in tine
eyes of all honorable men as Wanton
liar, and as an migrate which has sought
to jnoculate with its own loathsome dis
ease of shame and bankruptcy this
friendly municipality which took it into
It's embrace and gave it food and shelter.
If it goes on. it has before it the impos-
sible task of befouling with Cockney
vituperation the characters of men
whom this city honors because they are
worthy of it, and of running st. PaulS
business standing before the world.
The Evening Slanderer can take its
choice. 1t can go Oh or it can retreat.
But in either case it is ruined. Ii is be-
tween the devil and the deep sea. There
is room in this city for an evening Re-
publican newspaper.

THE RETTER WAY.

1t has been computed that it costs
100000 to kill an Indian. and in the
process about as many lives of whites
will be lost as of Indians. The late lit
tie squirt with the Sioux cost the govern
ment some s2,000,O0G, or 10 per cent
more than was spent for educating
them in whole year. II may not afford
quite as much satisfaction to ciYillze
one of the original Americans as to kill
him, but the killing business has been
going on for some hundreds of years,
and it is pretty much chestnut. 1t may
be desirable to have little exercise for
the army occasionally, and afford ma
tertal for the historian and novelist, but
the urgency in those directions is not
great. 1t is too costly a business to
clyilize the Indians with bullets. Bet
ter encourage romantic young ladies to
follow the few examples by going out
TO the Indians to teach and take hus-
bands among them.

THE CANADIAN CONTEST.

The dominion provinces have evi-
IDENTIFY felt the effects of wholesome
neighborship, as the fierceness of the
political contest to be settled Wednes-
day does not seem to swell out into vio-
lence. Old world controversies, when
so heated are understood to introduce
muscular arguments. In spite of seri-
Gus disadvantages, the Liberals are
making a highly creditable, and even
hopeful fight. Newspaper enterprise
has diagnosed all the districts and keeps
the Con- >eryative majority down to ten
or less in place of the fifty in the pres
ent body. Had they had few months
more for work, their success would be
almost certain. The interest in the re-
suit on this side should be meas
ured by the Importance attached
to the commercial relations of the
United States and the provinces.
That is really not the only question at
issue, although the Conservatives cloud
it up with lurid attachments. MACDoN-
AID is much like QUAY. and employs
his agencies to lubricate the political
paths. Large sums of money are
squeezed out of those interested in keep

HILL WAS RIGHT.

Gov. Hill has been subjected 10 crit
iciSm. and the effusion OF MI BCIKE-
LEY, who was governor of Connecticut
last year, is regarded as smart retort
in some quarters. AS the New York
governor was familiar with the situation
in tie adjoining state. he was quite JUS
tilted in refusing to recognize the man
as governor of Connecticut. The official
term OF the latter expired early in JAN
uary. Gov. HILL knew that the man
was not recognized as governor by one
branch of the legislature, and that the
treasurer was not paving his salary as
governor. lie knew that the man who
had the majority nt the popular vote. as

position had great currency for a while,
but received black eye when some one
wrote defense of JUDAS IsCARIoT in
the same spirit. His theory in general
was that JUDAS betrayed his Master,
not to get Him into trouble, but TO
give Him an opportunity for showing
His power. He argued that JUDAS
had such faith in Christ that he believed
He could and would rescue Himself from
the hands of the soldIery, should they
seek TO apprehend Him, by the exercise
of His miraculous strength; and that
nothing would hasten the coming of His
kingdom, for which they were looking,
so quickly as such a demonstration as
this. This very unconventional view
met with no popular Endorsement, and
JUDAS and the other sinners of history
shrunk back into the quarter of dis
favor where they belong. There they
will remain. But, odious as they are

Kansas City Times.
The once grand old party has fallen
OF late into more or less sad state OF
decay. Having lost It's arms and bag
gage in the last general engagement, it
has sought to regain a few offices by
the barter of its principles, In New
Hampshire it stole a senatorship. In

half interest in senator by forfetng
its political honor. Unable to preserve
its autonomy and elect the choice of it's
party caucus, it seeks to defeat a Demo
crat by casting its vote for a monde
script. This is the policy which the
leaders. at least. have urged upon the
Republican rank and file in the legisIa-
ture now met at Springfield. They are
striving to secure half loaf, even a
slice, crumb, perceiving that there re-
mains no hope of straight-out party

THE ILLINOIS BATTLE.

The report from Chicago that the Lii
aois senatorial contest is to be settled by
the election of GEORGE Il. DAVIS, of
Chicago, by the votes Of seven Demo-
cratic members, is Incredible. 1t will
probably prove another of the devices
of the tricky and unscrupulOuS Long
JONES. who, as the chairman of the Re-
publican state committee, is manipu-
lating things on that side. He has for
weeks aimed to breed dsaffection
among the Democrats by sending out
false reports and using weak or mer-
cenary Democrat here and there as his
tool. DAVIS has been one of the chief
operators OF the Republican machine in
Chicago, and affected to abandon active
politics for the time when he was put at
the head of the fair directory. There
IS no reason for any Democrat
voting for him and not for
FAGwEIL. 1t would not only be an
abandonment of the party. but an act of
treachery that should consign the per-
petratorS to infamy. Every Democrat
in that legislature was formally instruct
ed by those who elected him to vote for
PALMER for senator. To do otherwise
would be almost as gross breach of
trust as if a presidential elector should
vote against the candidate of his party.
In the history of the country no elector
has been found so despicable as to be-
tray his party in this way. The right
of the people 10 choose the senator is in
volved in the contest. There is 10 other
duty for any Democrat but to follow his
instructions to the end. So far every
man has stood manfully in line and
challenged the admiration of the country
by his fidelity and persistence. 1t is be-
lieyed all will continue so to do.and sue
cess will at last come to them.
