lace shades rose at both ends from amid great

THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

Senator Stewart has prepared a bill
providing for adding the following
amendment to the constitution: No
person who has held the Office of Presi-
dent fer a term of four years or any part
thereof shall be eligible to that Office
within four years after the expiration of
such term.
The article shall take effect and be in
force on and after the 4th day of March,
1897.
In an interview the Senator claims
that the first half of the Presidential
term is swallowed up in making APP
poiniments to Office, and the remainder
in contriving for e.election = that is,
that this is the case with every body who
has been President except the current
executive, Mr.. Harrison, whom he adj
mits is entirely free from this charge.
There is strong feeling in both hou-
ses OF Congress in favor of making the
one-term principle constitutional, al
though some favor four years, as provi-
ded by Senator Stewart, with a posi-
bic reelection after four years have in
tervened, while others lean to six
years term and forever precluding any
one from more than a second term.

Amsng the many men who are being
mentioned for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor in this state is that
able and honest Republican editor, Joel
P. Heatwole of Mortified. The Re-
view has always had liking for the in
dependence and brains of this true re-
preventative of the country districts, and
no one could be nominated for whom
we would more gladly lend the influ-
ence of printers ink. Heatwole, in the
first place is honest, No clique or ring
controls his political actions and his
support Of candidates has always been
out of the nobiest party motives. He
has been misused and misrepresented
since the last campaign and no one
knows this better than the Twin CITY
leaders. Because he was independent.

The Donnelly.Hompe letters have
thus far developed very little of ele-
gance in diction and still less of reyela-
ton as relates to things political, Up
to date the principal topic of discussion
has been the matter of adjournment on
certain occasions, and over this there
cannot be much valuable dispute, for
everybody knows that the citizens of
the whole state would have been glad if
the legislators had drawn their salaries
for the whole session and adjourned the

Congressman John Lind has prepared
and will introduce bill to amend the
Interstate commerce law by repeating
that clause of the law rendering ship
pers liable to prosecution upon evidence
against railroads. Mr.. Lind says tina.
he does not propose this amendment
out OF sympathy with shippers, but in
order to make good witnesses of them
against corporations. His bill is the
result of many conferences with Judge
VeaseY and Col. Morrison, of the com
mission, and was called up by the SUI
preme court decision in the Counsel

4 GROWING REPUTATION.


1t is circumstance which has aroused
| much state pride and has afforded in.
finite pleasure to the personal and poll.
teal friends of Senator Davis that that
gentleman from his advent in the Uni
ted States senate to the present moment
has steadily enhanced the high reputa-
ton which he has already won as a
statesman and scholar. Recent events
have presented even in clearer light
SenatorDavis' standing and influence in
national councils and the esteem in
which he is held by his associates in the
senate.
The recent appointment of Sen. Davis
On the committee on foreign relations
afforded ample recognition of grow
ing power and Importance. His repeat
ted engagement IN consultation with
the head OF the state department and
the president on questions of great ma
tional and international gravity attest
the respect with which his knowledge
and attachments are regarded. At such
a juncture, and, indeed, ct any time it
must be pleasing reflection to Mime
sotians, wholly apart from party affilia-
tons, that the state is represented at
Washington by a man as able and in
fuential as he.
No one who has examined with any
measure of care the several speeches
and reports made by Mr.. Davis in the
senate can avoid the impressions which
they leave, not only of the scholarship
but of the Woodworking industry of their
author. They bring conviction with
them. They do not represent opinions
entertained at haphazard or influenced
by emotional considerations. A more
comprehensive survey Of great and in
volVed questions of national policy are
to be found in no state document of re-
cent times than are embodied in Sena-
tor Davis speeches on the Nicaragua
canal and on the improvement of the
$500" and in his report on the indebt-
edness of the Pacific railroads, which
latter document has succeeded in arous.
ing s. degree of hostility in certain di-
rections which it is easy to see is in in
crease ratio to the knowledge and COM
prehension of the document possessed
by it's critics,
With Senator Davis returned to his
seat in the senate for another term, and
with the republican party again success
ful in the nation, there is small limit
to the distinction which he may win for
him self and his state. Since the with
drawal from the senate of such men as
Edmunds, Blaine, Thurman, Conkling
and Ingalls, he takes rank with the few
leaders left to represent Western and
Northern states. He represents intel
lectual yigor and trained and conscien-
tious craftsmanship, as against either
the possession of money or skill in the
manipulation of political machinery.
The republican party of Minnesota
owes it to itself and to the state that he
be returned to the senate next January.
With such purpose fairly avowed, it
is safe to say that the contests IN the
several representative districts will be
rendered much easier and safer for the
party which proposes to send Senator
Davis back to Westinghouse, Paul
Dispatch.
