that source.-Litehtield News-Ledger.
What did the legislature meet for last
year? So far nearly every important
law which it passed has been declared
unconstitutional. Something must be
decidedly wrong with the lawmakers of
last year.-Creoksten Times.
Another act of the last legislature.

naught. Another legislature of blath-
erskite TaWneys would put all laws into
chaos.-Hutchinson Democrat.
Congressman Baldwin was publicly
insulted in Duluth Friday. He was
hung in effigy because he favored free
iron. Such an outrage reflects more dis
honor on the perpetrators of it than on
Mr. Baldwin.-Eden Valley Journal.

Argus.
Wonder what fault the Popullsts will
find with the recent supreme court de-
ciSion on the insanity law? They have
registered kick on every ruling TO

Democrat.
That little burning in efigv deal at
Duluth is proving about the worst
boomerang the Republicans and those
shyster Democrats who aided them
could have hurled. The people admire
man who has the manhood TO stand by
the platform on which he was elected
Rochester Record and Union.
However much handful of Duluth
Democrats may condemn Maj. Baldwin,
nine tenths of the Democrats of the
Sixth congressional district approve of
his vote in favor of free iron ore. Mai.
Baldwin would have been recreant 10
the trust imposed on him by plurality

The whole rotten system has been
overthrown by the farmers. the laborers.
the mechanics and the professional men
of about two-thirds of the states of the
Union. Now it has devolved on the
Democracy to cure the fearful condition
in which the country is plunged by Re-

and do it right, the party will suffer, as
it ought.-Rocll County News.

the future to be brought about by legal
enactments, rid yourselves Of the delu-

not temperate now. Over speculation,
doing s1.0O0.000 business on $1,000 is
what has knocked the bottom out of
things.-Slayton Gazette
