| twenty-One years ago, and he Is great
man to-day, and the chances are that
unless the boodIers and corruptionists
cease abusing him, he will continue to
grow with the years and be a still
| greater man in the future. If Mr.. Don
nelly can convince the people of Mime
sofa that he is politically honest there

cupying in the near future the highest

For the sake of the good name of the
state, there should be thorough over
| hauling of all that pertains to the insti-
| tuition, and new code of rules should
| be followed that would remove from it
the stigma that has attached thereto for
| number of years. Men should be Sc
lected to watch over the prison, who
| will reflect credit upon the state by rig
orous control and who will not, by mis-
! placed Kindness or tenderness of nat
! ure, turn the management over to the
| inmates.-New Ulm Review.
The question OF free text books is be
fore the Minnesota legislature and q
| bill providing for the same should pass
without a dissenting voice. 1t ought to
| be the privilege of every boy and girl to
obtain good common school education,
and there are many who are prevented
from receiving it by the inability of the
| poor parents to purchase an adequate
supply of books.-St. Peter Herald.
If the salary of members is insufficient
! the proper way is to increase it openly
| and fairly, making the pay of all equal,
| instead Of reSortiDg to a subterfuge
| which results i'll a most unjust diScrm-
| ination. The mileage paid should be
the actual expense incurred, as aScer-
tanned by a committee appointed to
audit claims of that character. Chat

| Teachers who have been in consecu-
tive service for ten years, will, accord
| ing to this bill, receive $50 per wear:
for fifteen years service, S75, and so on
| up. This is certainly most foolish
measure, and, of course, will never be-
come law. If we go into the pension
ing business there will be no end to it.

AS an Instance, one day last week
when the income tax bill was under
consideration, Donnelly got up and
spoke in favor of it, saying that it was
part of the great revolution which was
inaugurated last fall, and which rolled
| up 10000 dollars for Owen. OF course
| he meant votes, aud some of the Repub-
licans who are ever ready to laugh at
the Sage enjoyed themselves at his eX-
pense. But Donnelly caught on, and in
that peculiar way of his said: II mean
votes; my early training as a Republic
an caused me TO forget the votes and re-
member only the dollars" Then the
laugh was OH the other side, and it was
good, long and loud one, too Sibley
Independent.
Just why members of reform legis-
! lature should accept passes from rail-
way companies and then pocket the Is
cents per mile allowed by the state is
more than an ordinary individual, who
is not a statesman, can understand. The
proper thing for the railroad companies
to do would be to carry members free
| while the legislature is actually in Ses-
sion, then the state abolish the - or any
pay per mile.-Albert Lea Enterprise.

Senator Dean, of Ramsey county. is

Ultimate athletic sports. 1t provides
that persons engaging in, aiding or
abetting, receiving, accepting, carry
ing or publishing challenge to a prize
| fight or Sparring match, with or without
| gloves, shall be liable to a fine of from
800 to $500, or imprisonment for cor
responding period. 1t is of piece with
much of the foolish. unjust and wholly
| ridiculous legislation that is apt to
ensue upon the election of fool to an
important position.-Stillwate Demo

Why would itnot be advisable for the
state Of Minnesota to adopt the Austral-

The property is transferred by a deed
