THE following from the Little Falls
Transcript Is evidence that the Journal.
Press, and not the Grand Rapids Herald
has been telling the truth about the
Republican sentiment in this district:
The Herald loses its bet again on
Morrison county. If he wagers that pub
lie sentiment is in favor OF free silver at
16 to /. OF course, the Journal-Press
never claimed that sentiment was
against the ''use of silver" Sentiment
here is against the free coinage of silver
16 to 1, independent CT other nations
now on god basis, and this CITY and
county gave large majority for a can.
didate for congress last fall who said
that such move would be financial
lunacy."
The HERALD thinks 1t understands the
sentiment OF the people who supported
Mr.. Towne for congress last year. and
certainly not ive-not two per cent. o
them endorse his views or the free coin
age OF silver. Those who opposed him
because of his position on the financial
question, are the only ones who are op
posing this later utterance. While the
HERALD does not for moment believe
that MIR. Towne was infuenced. to
change his opinions in the belief that he
would strengthen himself politically. but
is sincere in his action. vet it does be.
lieye he has made very grave. il NOT
fatal mistake.

"HoN. CHAs. A, TONNE, the brilliant
but misguided member of congress from
this district" is the way the Sank Gen.
tire Herald. which used to sing that gen.
tlemans praises, now puts it.-St. Cloud
Times.
The HERALD is just as willing to "sing'
Mr.. Towne's praises now as ever in any
matter in which he is entitled to it. The
one and only point to which it takes
exception is that he does not represent
his party in his advocacy of the free
coinage of silver by the United States
alone on the rates of sixteen to one.
Mr.. Towne processes to be bimetalist,
and justifes his present position by re-
ferr1ng t. several national republican
platforms which declare for bimetalism,
but nowhere does he find one which de-
clares tor the rates he advocates.

HARRY GRIMMER, the bright and 90.
serving city editor of the St. Cloud
Journal-Press, accompanied the editorial
excursion to Atlanta. Upon his return
he has this to say of one phase OF
southern political and social life which
involves question as intricate as it is
important:
The "nigger" problep in the South is a
serious one, but the white people take
most philosophical view OF it. The
negro, who by the way is an entirely dit.
ferent product than our Northern artl-
Gle, is calmly endured. That is, his SIM
pie presence On the street is endured.
But once let him become Extensively pres
ent. and the light of battle is in the eye
of the whiteman. The latter make no
secret of their determination to at all
hazards prevent negro domination.
They do not admit his equality before
his Creator or before the law. He must
must ride in a separate coach on a
| train, must go up a separate elevator
and must attend different church and
school than his white brother. From
this there is no deviation. and the mo-
ment a negro attemps to break down
the barriers existing there's trouble. and
especially so for the black man. The
better class of colored people, Southern
ers treat with condecentious consider
alton, but for the unruly class the
southern gentleman has gun, and the
law pretty nearly sustains him in using
it. While their exclusion from the
churches and schools has been bad for
them, their exclusion from the white
mans saloon and the white mans gam
bling house has been especially good
and drunkenness among the negroes in
the south is reduced to the minimum.

PRIZE fighting, so far as the State OF
Minnesota is concerned, will not be
countenanced during the administration
of Coy. Clough. He issued prociama-
ton to all peace officers of the state to
prevent proposed smuggling match, and
followed it up with the most vigorous
action to prevent the match from being
held just over the state lines by giving
notice of prosecution under the law of
railroads conveying the fighters to des-
tination. Ex-Gov. Merriam set the pace
during his administration-which, by
the way, was one OF the best OF record
and his successors must keep up, or
suffer.

THE free silver s:xtcen-to-one advocates
assume to be the only bimetalists, charg-
ing those opposed to their visionary
scheme with being gold monometalists
gold bugs, and what not. AS a mat
ter of fact the free coinage of silver at
the proposed ratio would inevitably re-
suit in silver monometalism. The proof
OF the assertion is history-and written
with every attempt to make two metals
OF unequal commercial value legal ten
der. The cheaper always has. and in
the nature of things, must drive the
dearer out of the channels of trade. So
long as men have the option of discrlmi-
mating they will exercise it for their
personal bene6t-they will use the least
valuable TO accomplish an equal purpose.
The so-calIed Gresham law enuncia ted
this principle four, hundred years ago
and that law has acted with unerring
precision ever since, and will to the end
of time

WHEAT is unaccountably low-as are
all other farm products, and the free
silver men improve every occasion to
charge it up to the demonstration OF
silver in 1878. 1t is conceded that the
price OF wheat is practically fixed in the
Liverpool market, where the surplus
product OF the world meets tor ultimate
disposition. The financial policy OF
England, so far as coinage of the metals
are concerned, has not been changed for
eighty years How then, can the none
tary laws of the United States in anv
way affect the price of wheat in England!
And the price in England determines the
price in Sank Centre.
