| L he electric lines between the cities
| have simplifed this unity, and in this
connection we would remind the two
| growing twins that they have little
sister over this way, soon to be con-
nected in like manner, who is worthy
of consideration. If such a move is
| thought practicable we will give SIT to
any of our readers who will send US a
name for the new city euphOnously
blending the names Saltwater, st. Paul
and Minneapolis, this to be paid when
such name is adopted-when 1t will
designate the greatest city i'll the West,
as well as one of the greatest on earth.
Saltwater Democrat.
The Princeton Union says that the
leaders of the alliance movement in
Minnesota, with the exception of Igna-
tluS Donnelly, are gang of unprinci-
pied boOdlers. According to this it
would appear that DOnnelly might be
''principled' boodler. Wadena Pioneer.
There is considerable senator-making
going on in the country press and from
the general tone of the comments on
the situation it looks as if Senator
Davis would be unseated. The chances
also seem to he against Gov. Merriam
as his successor. Senator Davis greatly
weakened his hold OH the affections of
the people of the northwest by his atti-
tude on the Pacific railway question,
followed by his Nicaragua canal
speech. His course during the last CAIN
paign also turned many of his friends
away from him.-Bach News.
What's the matter then with the Re-
publicans saying in their state conven-
ton whom they do want for United
States senator? 1t would not be Often
sive to any dark horse candidate. 1t
would strengthen the party in the cam
paign. Ii would lessen the chance for
a Doodle election of senator. 1t would
be blow at corruption and move in
the right direction. Instead of making
a resolution in favor of electing sena-
tors by the people, let us ''get action on
it," and elect one nominated by the peo-
pIe.-Red Wing Republican.
1t is amusing to notice how industri-
ously the old party organs are trying to
sow discOrd in the ranks of The Alliance
party. Here in Minnesota they are
bowling "Donnellyt' just because Br.
are stencil in the noStrilS of all earnest,
honest men. The Alliance is too strong
to be destroyed By the Great West nui-
sance.-Preston Republican.

Tuesdays Minneapolis Tribune con-
tanned the startling headline blaine Is
Sick" and then went on to say that
during his absence President Harrison
is looking after the affairs of the state
department and will let nothing suffer,
etc. This is cute attempt to create
popularity for the president at the ex-
penSe of the secretary of state, but it

The Cincinnati convention was in
tended by Donnelly and Doe Fish to
sit down on Eva MeDonald'S rights as
state lecturer, because Miss Mcdonald
approves the Owen platform, and has
little faith in Donnelly and Doc. The
Post is glad to say that the lecturers
Irish was too much for what she chooses
to call the "elegant I air of political
m0Cntebanks. '-Aiexandria Post.
State Oil Inspector Nichols has re-
signed because there was not enough
money in it. The governor should con-
vene the legislature at once to provide
place for Sam. Since he left the en-
ploy of the state, we get cut worms, ca
terpillars. drought and a new party,
and the people begin to appreciate him.
Hutchinson Leader.
The jackson Republic predicts that
Gov. Merriam will be the next United
States senator, because he has the flnan-
cial ability to get it. A good way to put
it Brother Allen; and, you might add, is
INSCRIPTIONS enough to use his finan-
cial ability to secure that or any other
Office he went after. We predict that
Merriam will get nothing next year.
See how near we come to list. Peter
Herald.
The tail-board of the Western league
band wagon has 'St. Paul" painted on
it, and the chances are it will not have
to be repalnted for several yearS.-Lake
Crystal Union.
1t is quite possible Senator c. K.
Davis is not an ideal peanut politician =
perhaps he gives more time to weight
er matters. If so, it is an unpardona-
bic political crime, and he should be
made to feel it. 1t is so rarely that this
state is served by anything but practi-
cal politician that it would be bad form
to break the precedent. And yet there
are lot of old fogy, back-number pur-
lists who really prefer man of integ-
rity, breadth and brains to fine-haired
modern schemer They ought to be
sat down upon.-Sauk Center Herhld
