VIEWS OF STATE EDITORS.

Now don't give military titles to men
that didn't earn them. Mr.. Doran is not
a hotel keeper, and wasn't in the army.
That will do for the Republicans. espe-
cially for those of st. Paul and Mime
apoIis. In the above cities there are
probably more kernels and gnrals to
the square yard than any other place in
the country, not excepting the entire
state of Kentucky.-Shakopee Courier.

The Minneapolis newspapers and
prominent citizens are putting forth an
effort to secure the next Republican ma
tional convention. The way this city is
divided by an imaginary line. and given
two names, as if two cities existed in-
stead of one, is calculated TO weaken
every effort for national notoriety. If
they would consolidate and come out as
a city of 100000 their influence would
be felt in the nation, not only in the
matter of securing conventions, but as
distributing center, which is of far
more importance. Sun.
The wrangling that il going on among
the Republican newspapers over Sena-
tor Davis successor is a striking exam
pie of counting chickens before they
are Matched. The next state senate is
aDti-Republican by vote OF 20 to %,
and the next house is not elected yet.
and the Republicans may not be ''in it,
To the extent necessary to name the
next senator.-Rock County Review.

The 1900 Republican convention
scheme is only gotten up to leave few
nickels in the pockets of the Minneapo-
Lis crowd ThnCp xVhn intnr-
ested in the organization of the league
and had worked the party up to the last
grand victory, have been totally ignored
in their opinion as to the advisability of
the 1900 delegate convention, but the
ninny-pinnies, like the husband in the
Betsy and the bear story, are IN for any
thing where they can show their pol
ished shirt fronts and cheek.-Lake
Crystal Union.
Besides, it is noticeable in this con-
nectiOn that these newspaper friends of
Mr.. Davis, at least part of them, have
been most bitter, indecent and unrea-
sOnable in their attacks upon Gov. Mer-
riam.-OrtOnville Herald.
The country press" of Minnesota
is abundantly able TO take care of itself.
There is a good deal of unnecessary adj
vice floating around in regard to what
they ought to do regarding the appoint
ment of successor to Senator G. K
Davis and other political matters. Such
hints are as pOWerleSS as the note of a
wild goose. Our observation has been
that the newspapers of this state are
quite independent, and any premature
effortsstO dictate to them in any way i'll
favor of certain candidates or against
them is to awaken righteous indigna

many reputable republican journals
that the farmers of Minnesota would not
stand by the platform of the Peoples
party as promulgated at Cincinnati has
not been verified by the facts. Every
Alliance which has yet held any meet
ing in this section of the country has
passed resolutions endorsing the peo-
pies party. and pledging the support OF
the Alliance to the principles enunciat-
ed by the leaders of that party.-Grace-
vile Transcript.
Brother Heatwole, of the Mortified
News, is after Senator Cush k. Davis's
scalp. and if a square. honorable fight
will do it. the able young editor will
hang CuSh KS scalp-lOck'to his belt, ere
the smoke has cleared away.-Lamber-

Have you noticed that in the discus
sion of senatorial matters and the BOOM
ing senatorial candidates that is now
going on in the state press that the
Democrats and Farmers Alliance peo-
pie are not saying word. They con-
tinue to saw wood, however, and when
the actual battle comes on will be found
to be sin t'' with both feet.-Crookston
Times.
1t is frequently said that in two years
from now the Peoples party will not be
heard from, not only in Minnesota, but
all over the country. Let us take Min
nesota. for instance. and see whether
the new party is dying out. Before last
election there was membership in the
state of 81, 900. The election showed the
vote to number over $4,000. To-day
there are over $4,000 members in good
standing, to say nothing of the member
ship in the labor organizations in the
cities.-Sleepy Eye Herald.

TheMnnesota Republicans will never
quite forgive eX-Representative Pattee,
of Northfield, for bringing Joel Heat
wole into prominence. And we can
didIy believe that Pattee himself looks
not proudly on the day when he secured
Heatwole's election to the state central
committee. 1t was a bad move, BUT
Pattee. of course, at that time could not
foretell the result of his favor toward
the Indiana carpet bagger.-Carlton vi
