Der, who is in st. Paul for the first time,
and, as he cannot be popular, he seeks
to be notorious .-Edgerton Enterprise.
Minnesota evidently is not going to do
as much as she should to advertise her
resources at the worlds fair. Making a
small appropriation for this purpose is
very poor ecOnomy.-Little Falls Trans

Now that the senate has reformed the
stage it might pass a law prohibiting
theater hats more than two feet wide
and three feet high.-Duluth Post.
McHale himself is out of sight, as the
saying is, at present. He is overshad-
owed in his absurdity by the body to
which he belongs. From Maine to Cal
ifOrnia the senate of Minnesota has
made for itself a reputation for Stiffness
and ~long-haired. D%uritanical fanaticism
which will stick to it when all else that

We know what the testimony in the
Washburn senatorial bribery investiga-
ton showed regarding one of the ex-
legislators of this county who a few
years ago was a great Alliance re-
former. We know, too, from that in
vestigation although it was killed at
its BIRTH that the ''strumpet of corrup-
ton strobe in naked horror all over the
state" during the last presidential cam
paign.-Waseca Herald.
The mar who wishes to read promi-
nent Democrats out of the party be-
cause their news do not in all things
agree with his isn't making as much
fuss as he was a short time ago. This
is no time to talk about reading men
out OF the party; it is only by present

Stalwart Minnesota Republicans who
are out of a job and always ready to
take pap were somewhatly diSgruntled
when Pat Rahilly, a renegade Demo
GRAFT and Alliance man, was appointed
by Gov. Merriam as commissioner of
swamp lands in payment for services
rendered last fall in preserving the
head of the Republican ticket from de-
feat. Dodge County Record.
If. as asserted, and which seems to be
borne out by evidence, Gov. Merriam
recommended p. II. Rahilly as special
agent of the land department., he is de-
serving of Nc little censure by members
Of his w party. Senator Davis has
filed a protest against the issuance of
his commission. and future develop

Mankato Free Press.
And now Pat Rahilly has been ap-
pointed special agent of the landofice
at Washington. What Democratic
Rahilly receiving fayors from a Repub-
lican administration! Connecting this
fact with his withdrawal from the ALI
ance ticket, and the charge made
against him chat he was connected with
the publication of the famous Irish cir
cular, which played such a conspicuous
figure in the last campaign. it seems
that there is room for SuSpiciOn.-DaW-
son Guard.
But Mr.. Rahilly did not write the let
ter for fun; neither was his sole object
to beat Wilson. He had Interior motives.
What those motives could be 10 one
was sharp enough to guess until it was
found that the aStute IriShman had cap
tured a plum which the most eminent
of the faithful were waiting to have
drop into their mouths. We congratu-
late the Republican party on its latest
acquisition. Perhaps he was worth his
price. HencefOrward, doubtless, he will
be a Republican of the Republicans,
