Wednesday,, March 18, 1891.
The list of legislative clerks still con-
tinues on the increase. And the end
will not be for at least two weeks!
Senator McHale of Carver introduced
bill tending to prohibit ballet dancing
except in hoop skirts. Wonder where
the method is in that mans foolishness.
The dispatch comes from Washington
that it will be Harrison and Morton in
'92. The people have something to say.
however, in that little matter, and the
people are for Blaine. Z .....
In New Orleans they propose to erect
a Caesars Column of dagoes. The other
day thirteen of them were lynched for
the murder Of policeman,

Only two weeks of life remain for the
Minnesota legislature. fhe members
ought to devote them to suppl1cation for
forgiveness for having forgotten to do
anything the first ten weeks.

The Globe dominates Gen. Palmer.
the newly elected Illinois senator, for
president. The stuffed prophet evident
~ has rival that is even more to be
dreaded than David B. Hill.
At the league meeting in Minneapo'
lis last Thursday every reference to the
name of our brilliant secretary of state
was met with deafening applause. It's
a name that every Republican takes
pride in honoring.
Carlisle says the silver issue will be
the leading one in the next campaign.
On that the Democrats are absolutely
wrong, and the Republicans, that is the
great majority of them, right. The issue
would be one that Republicans could
welcome with no fears as to the out
come.
The Minneapolis Tribune, Alden j.
Blethen's paper, has been sold to syn
dictate for $500, OCO and it is supposed
that Gilbert Pierce, the ex-senator,
will assume the editor-ship. This re-
moves from journalism in Minnesota
one of the brightest rustlers in the pro-
fession. Blethen was wide-awake and
his paper showed it.
When such eminent men as Judge
Thomas Wilson advocate a principle,
says the Sleepy Eye Herald, you can
bet there is something in it. Now, can
didly. Bro. Hodges. isn't that a pretty
thin statement? Are there not a few
equally eminent men who happen to
have different views than Mr.. Wilson?
In other words, does Mr.. Wilson's emil
nence shut out all others?
After hanging out for over two
months in the name of the people the
F. M. B. A. men in the Illinois legisla.
ture got into line last week and voted
with the Democrats for Palmer for
Senator. When the people come to
pay the bill of $3.50, 900 that was contrac.
ted by this unnecessary deadlock, a
good many of them will no doubt wish
that the F. M. B. A. men had held out
in their own name.
The defeat of the Republicans in the
Illinois senatorial contest is another il.
lustration of the invariable results of
wavering. It was such policy that
lost the country to the party in the re-
scept election: that lost four congress-
men to US in this state; and that elected
Kyle in Dakota. Union and persistence
cut great figure in political success,
and party that wavers is sure to find
itself on the side of defeat.
The legislature is nearly over and the
Republican members, almost to unit
have in nearly every instance stood or
the side of sound legislation as agains
the rash and unwise bills introduced fol
buncombe and political effect. If any
of the really dangerous measures be
come laws, the blame must fall else
where than with, the Republicans. The
Democrats and Alliance folks, whose at
filiations were so pleasant for each 9th
