pleased to see that my friend, Hon.
J Ohm Goodnow, still keeps himself
prominently before the public and will
not be suppressed. 1t is not every
statesman who can say he is the presi-
dentfof base ball aggregation. Good
now is that, but that is nothing to his
latest unique and original surprise, in
announcing to the public a quiet mar
rage which he says was contracted
two years ago. John is fertile in re-
sources and full of surprises, and he
stillholds a leading hand in that line.
!: So
The first prisoner before the bar in
the new municipal court room at the
new city hall was an ex-policeman.
Blixt, Hayward's tool and accomplice,
is said to have been an ex-policeman
also, having gradual ted to the police
department from the saloon bar. This
shows what kind of stuff policemen are
sometimes made Of, and in part ex-
plains why it is so difficult in the aver
age city to enforce the laws.

The genial Joseph, surnamed Man
nix, who erstwhile edited the Saloon
Journal" and managed the ''policy' for
William Henry Eustis when mayor
now devotes what. time he can spare
from his Hayward interviews and news
string in that specially to the guberna-
torial bureau of his ex-honor. I am
pleased to see that the genial Joseph
succeeds in getting into the press quite
a number of well-worded gubernatorial
advertisements. Joseph knows how to
'sexpress public sentiment,'' and can
do it by the column, when once he sits
down to business.

However much of chestnut and bore
the Mr.. Harry Hayward may have be-
come to the reading public, he has
been a great bonanza to the daily press
and the string tiends, and he has been
a mine Of hundred dollar bills to a
flock of buzzards who have worked
Hayward and his parents and then
given them all away and sold out to the
politicians who saw campaign thunder
for them in the Hayward case.

! The business organizations of Mime
apolis are going to have a railroad
through from the Black Hill to bring
here the cattle of the Missouri river
valley and the mineral ore of the
Black Hills, and they are going to turn
the grain and roots and mill feed and
oil cake OF the Northwest into beef to
build up I. livestock and packing indus
try which shall rival Kansas City and
Chicago. A little hustle, young men,
will d. the business-a little hustle,
and there, it's done.

The State supreme court sustains the
handful of citizens who we're recently
called ''cranks" because they protested
against taking money out of the city
sinking fund to buy bonds that nobody
else would buy. Chief Justice Start
in an elaborate opinion, said that such
use of the sinking fund would be tc
make it a debt-creating instead of g
debt-redeeming fund; and that is what
the ''cranks" said, and what the or
gans and politicians pooh-poohed.

| 1t was tough position in which
Governor Clough was placed when the
aged and weeping parents of Hayward
fell on their knees before him, and
clutching his hand and his clothing
begged him not to rob them in theil
old age of their son. Nobody blames
the governor for crying with the oio
people and expressing his Creates
sympathy; and no one will blame hin
for maintaining his station as governor
and insisting upon the fultillment o.
the law of the commonwealth.

Captain Van SAINT is >'waiting" fol
the people to speak. They say that the
Captain is the most rapid waiter in the
Northwest. He is in Minneapolis to
day, in Duluth tomorrow, in Moor
head and Luverne on the day follow
ing--all the time waiting. The Cap
tain believes in the scriptural adage
that Everything comes to him who
: waits provided he waits hard enough
\ And the Captain can waitlike thunder

IF we have free coinage of silver,

How under the moon can our gold ski
