AN IDLE STORY.

1t is somewhat curious that the
Democrats are taking more interest
in the political fortunes of many of
the leading Republicans, than the Re
publicans are. themselves. Judging
the Republicans by the actions of
some of their own leaders, they i'm
agine the leaders are all jealous of one
another, and are anxious to kill each
other off. When it became known
that the Republicans would control
the lower house of congress, the first
thought of the great majority of the
American people was that Tom Reed
would be the next speaker of that
body. Among the Republicans no
other name has been thought of nor
mentioned. Now comes the story
from a Democratic source that Nc
Kinley and Harrison will combine
forces in an attempt to defeat Reed
for the speakerShip, because they fear
that his success there will make him
formidable presidential rival. A
more absurd story was never con-
cocted. 1t is doubtful if Mr. Nc
Kinley Or Mr.. Harrison have ever
given the subject minutes thought
from such a standpoint. In the first
place the speakership contest, should
there be one, which there will not, is
in no way connected with a presi-
Dental canvass. The selection of
Tom Reed will in no way enhance his
popularity with the Republicans, for
he is riding on the top wave of popu-
larity with them now. But if either
Mckinley or Harrison entertained the
thought that they would like to see
him defeated for fear it would add to
his strength as presidential rival,
they could do nothing which would
more certainly add to his strength in
that direction than to set up pins for
his defeat for the speakership. If Mr..
Reed has his eyes on the presidential
prize for 1896, he could desire nothing
better than just such a game. But it
will never be attempted. The great
Republican leaders whose names have
been used in connection Herewith,

In commenting upon the senator

IN commenting upon the senator
ial matter, and the way the various
gentlemen named by the opposition
as senatorial candidates against Sena-
tor Washburn, make haste to declare
they are not candidates and their
names are used without authority,
the Duluth Neacs- Tribune says there is
no doubt as to where the Duluth del
egation stands, as Duluth owes too
much to turn its back upon him, and
adds:
Senator Washburn is just the
type of senator we need to collaborate
with Senator Davis. He is as strong
in committee and department as Mr..
Davis is on the floor. 1t is rarely
that one finds a stronger or more
evenly balanced team in the senate
for one state. 1t is too strong re-
presentation to be even threatened by
the personal prejudices Of malefac-
tors The Minnesota senators take
rank as among the leading members
of that body, and combined they pos
sess every qualification that is needed
to keep Minnesota at the front, where
together they have placed her.

LET 1T BE GENERAL.

Yesterday was thanksgiving day.
There are many no doubt, who won
der why the day should be set aside
at this time, and yet there are few
who have not something to be thank
full for, though it may be but little.
Those who have their health, though
they may have little else, have really
more to be thankful for, than many
who are surrounded with more worldly
possessions, but are doomed to drag
through their days in pain and misery,
the result of disease which wealth
cannot remove. And many an unfor-
tunate has much to be thankful for.
that in his adversely he is remem-
bered by generous friends.
But the real delights of the week
will only be enjoyed by those so en-
abled by means and circumstances.
Upon them rests the responsibility as
to whether those delights shall be
restricted or whether they shall be
spread out quite generally. The pro-
CARNATIONS of the various executives
in recommending the observance of
the day, put forth the sentiment that
lin the midst of our plenty, let us not
forget the worthy poor"
There is no need, however, to ap-
peal to the good people of .Mankato
on this score. They have already
done and are still doing much to re-
lleve the suffering of the unfortunate,
and make them as comfortable as
possible through the cold weeks to
come.
But thanksgiving day is one of the
few OF the year when especial pains
should be taken, to carry some extra
CLEAN OF joy into the hearts of those
who are sorely tried. 1t often takes
but little to cause a feeling of thank
fitness, and if every family having
more than it's necessities requires.
would contribute even little, much
JOY and thankfulnesS would be spread
everywhere, and all would be the bet
ter for it.

A NEW ERA IN THE SOUTH.

The political change in the south
this year, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat, is interesting and signif-
can't, but there is still more import
ance attached to the fact that for the
first time in her history she is ship
ping corn to the north. This explodes
the theory that the agricultural con-
ditions of the southern states are
such as to make them practically de-
pendent upon the cotton crop alone
for profit and prosperity. There never
was any justification for such view,
and itwas entertained simply because
no effort was made to disprove it..
The experience of the present year
has demonstrated that the south can
not only raise sufficient corn for her
own use, but a surplus for sale out
side of her limits. She has produced
good crop of that great cereal when
there has been comparative failure
in the north, which shows that in
some respects her soil and climate are
better adapted to that purpose than
those of the states heretofore Spe-
cially noted for their abundant out
put of corn. When Illinois, Iowa and
Kansas are buying corn from Ala
bama, Georgia and Tennessee, it is
time to quit talking about the inabil-
ity of the south to raise anything but
cotton. She can not only produce
corn, but other kinds of grain and
grasses, fruits and vegetables, if she
will but turn her attention to them,
and cultivate them according to intel
ligent and practical methods.
Having broken the ice in this direc-
ton, the Globe Democrat sees no reason
why the south should not follow up
this new line of enterprise with a
general diversitication of crops, and
so have surplus to sell, instead of
being obliged to buy. Much of this
would find a market in the north at a
time when the home producer, on &C
count of the climate, is unable to
supply the demand. There is no rea-
son why, if the south makes proper
use of the resources at its command,
it cannot become as prosperous as the
north, and if it needs the lessons of
practical experience it will be. The
northwest passed through the same
experience by adherlng to wheat, and
it did not find the full measure OF
prosperity until it learned the lesson
of Investigation of crops. When the
south needs the lesson that prosperity
comes with less cotton and more corn
and other products, the turn in the
long lane will have been reached.
The experience of the political
breakup which the south has just
gone through will prove most valu-
able, for not only will it prove a
change of men, but change of ideas
as well, and that is what that section
of the country is greatly in need of.

IS RAMALEY TO BE TURNED
DOWN?

From what may be considered 9
reliable source we have information
that David Ramaley is to be turned
down by the incoming officials at the
state house. We hope this informa
ton may not prove true, and the
newspaper men generally of the state
we believe, will take like ground
with ourself.
David Ramaley is prominently the
best man in the state, for the office
he occupies. As an expert in print
ing, he has no equal in the northwest,
and no superior anywhere. 1t wants
just such capable, conscientious and
firm man as he, to protect the state
against exaggerated measurements in
state work coming under the depart
ment of printing. Since his appoint
ment to this place-and he has been
the only man to occupy the position,
since the Office was created-he has
covered back into the state treasury,
several thousand dollars in over
charges, that were drawn out by diff
ferent printing concerns doing state
work, and no man can gain even an
sem" in measurement over Uncle
Ramaley, nor an extra sheet Of stock.
He is as much of an authority in
printing, as BlackStone'S work is
authority in law, and his retention is
demanded by all ethics of business
principles.
The appointment of this official is
vested in the secretary of state, state
auditor and state treasurer. Some of
these gentlemen at least know Mr..
Ramaley's qualifications land knowing,
it would seem that change could
not be seriously contemplated. But it
is, or our informant is entirely off his
reckoning.
And for what reason? Simply, as
it is rumored, that Mr.. Ramaley is no
good to the Republican party. In
deed, Then if the change is made
notice is served upon the people of
the state, that only the most useful IN
politics are needed in appOintive posi-
tions, requiring business talent and a
practical knowledge of the details of
the business to be administered. If
such a stand as this is taken, it will
not rebound to the credit of the ap-
pointing board. Mr.. Ramaley's poll
tics are not known to us, but we
do know that he is one of those
modest, quiet gentlemen who vote ac-
cording to the dictates of their own
consciences and allow other people to
do the same.
For the sake of the good name of
an honest Republican administration,
run in the interest of economy and
competency, and not for the payment
of political debts, the FREE PRESS
truely hopes, that it has been misin-
formed, as to the intended decapita-
tion of an old, tried, trusted and
thoroughly competent official in the
person Of David Ramaley.

THE RIFT IN THE SOUTH.

One of the healthy signs OF the
times is the call which the Atlanta
Constitution is making for honest cleo
tions. The fact is beginning to dawn
upon them that their dishonest cleo
ton methods are very demoralizing
upon the people at large, and a pre-
ventative of progress as well. Inc
result of the recent election Will fur-
ther impress upon their minds that
the dangers which they have hereto
fore Haunted before the people there
in order to preserve the solidity OF
that section for one party, have no
existence whatever. The conditions
which existed during the period fol-
lowing the war have passed away for
ever, and it is very doubtful if they
can ever be used again to help bring
the south back into that solid state
which it has been in so long.
Of course much depends in the way
the victorS use their new found
power. If they study closely the well
fare of the people and their wants in
the way of good legislation, and so far
as lies in their power, not only de-
mand, but insist upon an economical
administration of the peoples bust
ness, the question of solid south will
be solved for all time. and the strength
of the two parties more evenly dis
tributed throughout the whole coun-
try. The chance which is now pre-
sented to the Republicans is one they
have desired for years, and the final
political breakup of that section is a
matter which rests wholly in their
hands. The Republican party has al
ways been equal to the emergencies
which have confronted it, and we be-
lieye twill be in this case.

THE SPEAkERSHIP.

Hon. Daniel Shell, of Worthington,
has entered the field in the speaker
ship contest, and the ST. Paul Dis
patch says it looks as though he would
have the solid support of the second
congressional district. And why
should he not? He is thoroughly COM
petent for the position, clear headed
and capable of taking the situation in
at glance; he is just the person
needed to preside over the house, and
keep business moving as it should.
Besides this his location in the state
ought to give him more than ordi-
nary strength in the contest, and with
the second district solid behind him,
his chances for winning ought to be of
the best.
The disposition of the southwest
section of the state to center its
strength on one man is good omen,
and as it received nothing on the
state ticket ought to materially help
it in the contest for the speakership.
Mr.. Shell is pitted against some
good men for that position and which
ever gentleman wins the house is sure
to have good presiding officer, but
the FREE PRESS believes this position
of the state is clearly entitled to it.,
and having first-class candidate
with solid backing, it will command
a most important position in the con-
test, with the best of chances for sue
cess

ENLARGEMENT OF THE GOVERN
MENT BUILDING.

The board of trade, at it's meeting
this morning, appointed committee
of five business men to take charge
of the proposition to enlarge the new
government building, to the end that
something nearer commensurate with
the demands of the city may be
secured than the present plans pro-
vide.
There is rbut one idea pervading
this community on the subject, and
that is that the uneXpended balance
of $4,000 should be applied toward
the enlargement of the structure, or
at least so much thereof as may be
necessary to make the building such
as it should be for future demands.
The committee in it's work will have
the hearty cooperation Of every
business man in the city, and it is
believed it will be able to prove to the
satisfaction of Mr.. Carlisle that addi-
tional room is needed. and that in
turn he will gladly acquiesce in the
request for such. The committee will
go at it's work forthwith, and we
believe will be successful in securing
most needful enlargement. The
erection of the building has not so far
progressed as to involve any material
cost for making such Improvements
as are deemed necessary over what
the same would have been if provided
for in the original plans, and with
prompt action in the matter there
appears no good reason why success
may not crown our efforts.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST OUR
CATTLE INTERESTS.

Denmark has followed the example
OF Germany and prohibited the land
ing of cattle and fresh meat from the
| United States. The preteXt therefor
is the discovery of Texas fever among
cattle carried from this country.
Whether this is the real reason or not,
may be question. 1t is asserted by
those acquainted with the situation
and the facts in the case, that there
is really no danger to the livestock of
Denmark from Texas fever, but that
the real trouble is that the livestock
interests of Denmark demand the pro-
hibition Of American beef on the
ground that it can be sold in that
country for less than it costs the Dan
lSh farmer to raise it.
The honorable thing for Denmark
would be to say so plainly and not at
tempt to beat around the bush land had
the present administration pursued
the same course which the Harrison
administration did, the Danish gov
eminent would have to give the true
reason for it, for there would be no
chance for the present excuse. Upon
this discrimination the Chicago Inter
Ocean says:
If Jerry Rusk were in the place of
}. Sterling Morton, and Benjamin
Harrison in the place of Grover Cleve-
land, no foreign government would
discriminate against American beef
and beeves with impunity. They
would find some way to bring up the
offender with round turn. But this
administration seems fated to be the
common bane of agriculture and man
fractures the country over.

BLUE EARTH county will, through
Senator Barr, ask for the engrossing
clerk of the senate, and the gentle
man to be pushed for the place is Mr..

cause. He has never before ask
eel for political preferment and it
is not too much to hope that he will

Senator Barr will use his best endea-

Emilcan feel that he is in good hands.
