NEWSPAPER MUTATIONS.

Sleepy Eye Dispatch: Boiled down
this is the story Clifton Holden's at
torneys haveinduced Governor Merri-
am to believe, and believing this Mr..
Merriam commutes Holden's death
sentence to life imprisonment; and
this is the latest regarding the Holden
matter and we would not be surprised
to hear that Mr.. Clifton Holden is par
doned, and he certainly deserved to be
if what Mr.. Merriam believes to be
true is true. Mr.. Attorney Wilson, of
Rochester, and Judge Baldwin, of Red
wood Falls, Holden's attorneys, are
workers and don't you forget it.
Northwestern Agriculturist: In some
states the farmers alliance have adopt
ed plans of arbitration to avoid law
suits. If disagreement arises be-
tween two farmers, they go into the
county alliance meeting and state their
cases and if the public statement of
their differences does not result in an
amicable settlement, they choose an
arbitration committee, and agree to
able by their decision. If this plan
was generally adopted, the business of
lawyers would grow beautifully less.
There are few expenditures of money
50 utterly Improbable, as that which
goes into the expense of law suit. In
SO cases out of 100, a little common
sense and fraternal forbearance would
accomplish in an hour what the law
yers and courts take months to decide.
- Grant County Herald: Taking ad
vantage of the prevailing discomfort
among the farmers and general de-
preston of agriculture, a number of
men with surplus of words tied
themselves to the Farmers Alliance.
They simply preached calamity shout
ed monopoly and oppression and took
up collections. Such men are long on
I destruction and short on construction.
Mortified News: Minnesota is not
! the only State in the Union that is be-
ing ridiculed for idiotic legislation.
| The Missouri Legislature has passed a
law prohibiting geese running at large,
and now the famous Gen. Hustled, Of
,, New York, has introduced a bill pro-
hibiting cats running at large at night.
The last bill will probably meet with
vigorous opposition from manufacture
ers of boot-jacks, and various other
useful bric-a -brac to be found in quiz
ct mans rooms. Reform seems to be
stalking abroad in the land, and there
is no telling what the people will be
subjected to during the next legisla-
tive period.
Two thirds of the cheese sold in
Minneapolis one year ago was imported
from Chicago and Wisconsin and
nearly all of it was adulterated, says
Assistant Dairy Commissioner H. G.
Howard. The cheese was made from
skimmilk and neutral oil was used in
place of cream. AS result the inves-
! LEGATION and analisis 5000 pounds of
cheese was confscated. This caused
dealers to be more particular in buying
cheese and they refused to handle the
filled" article. They have used Mimi
esota made cheese almost EXCLUSIVELY
since then and the same policy has
been pursued in other parts of the
State. The result is that the number
of cheese factories in the State has
doubled in the last 10 months and
dairymen reported good trade, while
the consumer gets good article and
has to pay no more for it than for the
adulterated article.
News Messenger: During the dis
cussion upon the question of temper
ance in the Methodist conference in
Massachusetts, DR.. Bates said he was
compelled to admit that very little had
been accomplished for this cause dur.
ing the past ten years, and the reason
was that 1--WE have been divided" He
said that they have found the only
way to do anything, and these attempt
to force all the rest into their way oil
thinking. The clerg yman hit the mai
squarely on the head; the ultra prohi
bitionists are unwilling to admit thai
anything can be done except in thei1
way, and they are quite as bitter II
their criticism upon any who venture
to dissent as upon the out and out ad
vocates of liquor. When the extrem,
prohibitionists show. a disposition t.
work with the less radical Temperance
advocates, just so far as the latter go
and then to strive to do more advanced
work by themselves, instead of abus
ing those who would be their allies il
part, the cause will bound forward a
it has not for years, But the create
part of the energies of the third part,
prohibitionists has for a long time beel
devoted to abuse of others, less radica
temperance men, rather than the com
mon foe.
