VIEWS OF STATE EDITORS.

Bob IngersoIl speaking from the pull
pit of a church would seem to be an
impossible news item, yet, last Thurs
day he occupied the Peoples church in
st. Paul, but as he iectured on ''Shake-
speare," and he defended the great
commoner from the efforts being made
by toadyists TO give his laurels to dis
solute lord, the church will probably
not be ensured.-Alliance Advocate.
The leading editorial in yesterdays
Pioneer Press was entitled The De-
cline of the Farmers Alliance" The
decline may not be such but that it will
help to knock out the Republican party
in 1S92.-Winona Herald.
1t is settled question that Eva Nc
Donald, since she has assumed the role
of state lecturer for the Alliance, must
be placed on an equal footing with other
public women and men. She can no
longer take refuge behind pettieoatS,
but will have to stand the racket like
other poor mortals who fall into the
hands of the public press. Heretofore
the press has treated Miss Eva with con-
siderable charity, but it now finds her
WELDING double-edged sword, and in
stead OF the etiquette extended to her
heretofore in Difference to her sex she
must be met with the same kind of
weapOn.-Lake Crystal Union
Office-seeking and office-holding being
the life current of the managers of the
Republican party. this is but natural;
and the people of Minnesota may ex-
pect to see desperate struggle in the
Republican party in the next campaign
for the senatorial prize. 1t is just pos
ell % thnE
statesman may succeed Davls.-Le
Sueur Sentinel.
1t is claimed that the Prince of Wales
wears an anxious and worried look. Ii
he lived in Minnesota, Senator McHale
would insist on him wearing something
additional.-Duluth Post.
The Republican party, through its
press, has undertaken to guarantee good
weather and large crop to the wheat
producers Of the great Northwest if
they will only vote the Republican
ticket next year. The g. @. D. is pow
erful organization, but we never knew
before that it had the cinch on the AL
mighty.-Elbow Lake Alliance.
After the missendiug of two letters
the others were told about and Mr. Don
nelly had to say something to meet the
case. He simply owned up, and told
the story of the man whose wife blamed
him for promising twenty different
friends pointer pup apiece, when he
knew that the whole expected litter
wouldn't be one-third OF twenty, and
who replied: sit is a id mean man
that won't promise friend pup" Mr..
Donnelly was defeated for congress.
however, and beaten for the senate.
also. Since then politics is becoming
corrupt.-Red Wing Republican.
The character of a legislature is not
to be judged by the size of its appropri-
alton bill or its tax levy, unless the
items oFthe former or the necessity of
the latter can be shown to be in them
selves unworthy or unnecessarv.-Roc

1t is current rumor that Ignatius Don
nelly Is to throw the strength of the AL
lance to William r. Merriam for the
next United States senator from this
state, while that gentleman, i'll return,
is to assist Mr.. Donnelly into the gov
ernor's chair. This would be verv
neat piece of political work, but we are
willing to bet that there will be the
''derndest kick from the rooral dees-
tricts" that the political slate makers
have ever experienced if the deal is
ever attempted qui Parle Press.
