Clippings and Comment
The Independent Press Of Mad
ison, Lac Qui Parle. County, is an
I excellent newspaper and an able
advocate of. the RECOMMENDATION
of silver Some of our wise-acres
pretend that the silver question
is of small Importance, and that
it is not big enough to make an
issue on. But it is really the
only issue now up for solution,
and Bro; sFarnham understands
it. We thank God and take
courage when ever we see a man
with sand enough to stand up
for principle in spite of boss die
tation.,-. Shake, Bro. Farnham.
True independent journalism is
the crying need of the hour.
We notice by the Spokane
Times that Chinese lettuce" is a
weed pest in that region. The
paper calls on the authorities to
wage on it a war or eradication
inside the city limits. What new
foreign pest is the people next to
be harrassed with? We have the
English sparrow, the Canada
thistle, the Russian cactus, and
now the Chinese lettuce. Give
us a rest.-Litchtield Indepen-

view advises it's brethren not to
say anything in regard to Con-
gresham Towne and his views
on silver. That is sensible. The
Oddities dare not meet Towne in
open BATTLE, so the only alterna-

they not send that valiant San
cho Panza, ex-drum major of the
Horr menagerie, Labor Commits
sioner Powers, down to knock
out Towne. 4 :

And still they say the silver
sentiment is waning.
a brother editor has come to
grief. He wrote a puff for a mil
liner congratulating her ON her
success, and said he was glad to
see her stocking up. When his
paper came out, instead of appre-
ciating the puff. Mrs. Milliner
cracked him over the head with
an umbrella.-Ex.
The leading topics of the day
are gold. silver and the new
women. Gold or silver is all
right. but the new women as illus.
trated by some of the city pap
ers, causes us to feel as if we
had been eating raw rutabagas
and washing them with salt
water.-Paynesville Press.
Shall I advertise with space
or locals?" asked a business man
to the editor of established pa
per. The editor answered: IL
you are going to advertise a shote
for sale a few lines of locals lis
enough. If you have a $4,000
