SeSSion.-FerguS Falls Journal.
Another row is on among the Mime
sofa managers at the worlds fair. Hunt
seems TO be in it this time. Taking it
all in all, Minnesota'S connection with
the big show is anything but credit to
her.-Litchfield News Ledger.
The Litchfield Newsletter thinks

Railroad men point to the fact that
where there are vestibule cars in wrecks
the loss of life and property is small,
and an effort will be made to compel

1t begins to look as if the hoggishness
of St. Paul real estate owners may
cause the new state capitol to go else

The disasters are not all on the farm
er's plate this year. Spectators have
caught 1t pretty rough all round, the
last one being Cudahy, the great Chi
cago pork man, who fails for several
millions. The farmers can regard these
things complacently. - Polk County
journal.
Congress meets in special session
next Monday. The voice of the whole
people cries out for the immediate and
unconditional repeal of that silver pur-
chase act. Debate ads nauseum may be
mad over subsequent legislation, but
this one measure should permit of no

Wheat is down to 60 cents in Chicago,

Certainly such condition ought not to

The principal thing which leads the
public into general diStruSt of the sill
yer convention at Chicago is the fact
that tinanclers of the Donnelly stripe
are in command. When such kind of
men take charge of movement, the
people in general take TO the woods to
get out of the way of the crash.-Man-

1t is said that good deal of money
withdrawn from the banks has been
locked up in the safety vaults. 1t is
undoubtedly secure. but at the end of
the year it will not have earned any
thing, while if placed in the banks of
deposit it will be practically as secure,
have earned at least 5 per cent, and
better still have helped the business in
tereSts of the country. -MankatO Re

When by some great natural cause
famine comes to land there is unusual
SORROW and regret. When selfish men
corner the products of the soil and
bring distress upon people there is
aroused the btterest Indignation. When
men, through process of law, corner
the money of the country aid bring
distress and ruin they deserve the pun

As predicted last week the wholesale

toners in payment for goodS-at least
some of them have given it out that
they would not be refused. The loss of
trade at this. time, even if little. would
be serious blow to them, and they are
doing all they can to avert it.-SiDley
County Enterprise.
The revolving scenes enacted at the
Auburn, n. Y, prison last week, where
negro murderer was put to death, or
rather tortured, by electricity,is another
strong argument against the So-called
scientific method. Hanging may be a
vulgar means of inflIcting capital pun
iShment, but it is far more humane than
the Dungling manner in which the INA

Ill-lighted. ill-ventilated and ab0mia-
ably situated, the public library of st.
Paul is standing disgrace to that city.
1t seems that municipality so preten-
tiouS as st. Paul could afford something
infinitely bettpr-aS though its citizens
would demand something better. A
dark and muSty room on the top floor
of the city hall and county building
offers few inducements 10 any but the

We have been the recipient of not a
few names during our somewhat turbu-
lent newspaper and political career,
but it remained for the st. Peter Her
aid to cut short whatever future am

near the bottom Of our vest pocket, by
abiding to us as "Old Langum." And
this from a man whom we had always
looked upon as the best friend we had
in the world. Br'r johnson, DON'T

The cry comes from some of the
southern counties of Minnesota, now
that farmers are in the harvest fields,
that chinch bugs and in some instances
drouth have ruined much of the wheat
so as to make it scarcely worth cutting.
And the same reports come from some
localities in the Minnesota valley. as
also from northern counties. But we
believe that, with few exceptional small
localities, Mcleod county will show a
wheat crop above the average of the
state.-HutchinSon Democrat.
