The Opinions Of our Exchanges.

The question now before the legislature
is: Will Donnelly make an appropria-
tion to provide for Minnesota making a
show at the coming Worlds Fair, or
will Minnesota make an appropriation
to provide for Donnelly's making a
show of himself on that occasion?-Blue
Earth City Post.
The St. Paul newspaper reporters are
put out because the legislative chaplain,
Mr.. Wilkinson, does not include them
in his prayers. He prays exclusively
for members and employees, and that is
enough we think. He is not paid for
praying for such liars as the reporters,
and probably knows he needs to do his
very best for the members. One three
minute prayer per day, even at IS,
can't do everything.--Waseca Radical.
Senator Lienau, of St. Paul, has in
troduced resolution providing for the
purchase of a copy of the revised sta
tutes for each member of the senate.
This would involve an expenditure of
about $6, 900 and be a useless extrava-
gance. The committees should have
them, but copy of the command
ments to each member would be better
than a copy of the revised statutes
Farlbault Democrat.
The old Seymour Sabin gang are on
top again, and their tool, Garvin, is
placed over the institution. Mankato
Register.
We do not know whether the Sey-
mour-Sabin gang, or any other gang is
on top at the state prison, but this much
we do know. tnat so long as Albert Gar
vim is Warden he will be on top. He
was appointed rot to serve any interest,
but because of his admitted fitness to
serve the state and manage the prison
as it should be managed. He is nobody's
''tool.'- St. Cloud Journa]-Press.
Representative Gallagher of St. Paul
wanted a committee of three on ventiIa-
tion of the house. Seems as though a
janitor and assistant,a a doo:-keeper with
two assistants and some cloak handlers
and d lot of roustabouts, assisted by nu-
merous pages, should be able to turn
the cocks in two or three air-pipes. But
legislation is a very hard business and

A farmer writes: .'Please find money
express order for 5000 to apply on my
arrears to the Moorhead Weekly News.
Send the paper right along and if you
do not get your pay just when you
ought to have it, you Will have it all
right This is a sample of letters the
editor receives almost daily. 1t is evil
dent that the people appreciate honest
aud sincere efforts to give them read
able paper and if some do not agree en-
tirely with the opinion of the editor
(and they ought not to) they do not fall
out with him or think that he is not
concerned for their prosperity The fact
is we can't all think alike and it would
not be best if we did. 1t needs the clash
of opinions to bring out the truth.
However, no man, whose life shows him
to be honest, sincere and truthful, ought
to be charged with dishonest and cor
rupt motive or collusion with men or
interests that are expressing the people.
We differ in the means to effect the end
and mot in the desire to see all have q
fair chance in life. -Moorhead News.
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, conspicuously
befooled himself Yesterday in the house.
He wrapped the real or fancied griev.
ances of his party about his portly form
like garment, and, gyrating like a
teetotum down the aisles of the house,
let loose the walls of his profane wrath
upon the immobile and cast iron rigid
ity of Speaker Reed, who enjoys moth
ing better than to see his adversaries
wriggle under the compulsion of his
sovereignty. Mr.. Mills could not have
made a more beastly spectacle of him
self had he just arisen from deep and
lengthy potations and had surrendered
himself to the lashings Of the Unsuitable
furies.
And his party clustered about him
Like bees. cheering the every step in the
furious exhibition. Anarchy can hard
II give authority for law. Aristotle's
definition Of a true citizen holds good
to-day. he is one who IS able both TO
govern and to be governed. =
