The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1895-02-06
NOTES FROM EXCHANGES.

uc NOFGIWcSU: Every TOpullSG VOUc
in the legislature went to Donnelly in
the senatorial contest. Every vote OF
the ID is written with the love Of the
of the age.
Chicago Times: John Jacob Astor's
new house in New York, which is now
approaching completion, will cost ST.
100000. The privilege of residing in
this palace is Mr.. Astor's reward for
the thrift, industry and intelligence
with which he chose his parents.
Since making that momentous choice
he has never done anything except
live.
Duluth Commonwealth: The Pops
feel indicated again. They said all
the time it was the financial question
and they said all the time the repeal
Of the purchasing clause wouldn't do
any good. Since they located the
trouble they claim they alone can
name the remedy.
Waseca Radical (Rep): We think
more of the Populists than ever be-
fore. They voted solid on the sena-
tOrial question for their man Donnel-
ly. Not split or weaver in the en-
tire 13. That was better than the
democrats dld.
Duluth Commonwealth: The ma
tiOnal banks think the presidents ad-
vice is about right. They are some
what prejudiced For one thing they
are better satisfied with the present
national banking system than anybody
else and they see that ii we issue half
a billion more bonds the national
banking system will be secured with
out change for good while. But that
doesn't make the Presidents advice
any more popular among the people
generally.
Albert Lea Standards: The People,
party members of the legislature stood
by their colors and voted solidly for
Mr.. Donnelly, their nominee. Their
record is thus clear and being based on
sound principles they have honOred
the trust imposed in them.
Mazeppa Tribune: Senator D. F.
Morgan will hereafter occupy the pO-
sition of senatorial possibility. If
Hennepin county had presented his
name instead of w. d. Washburn's it
is quite probable that Minneapolis
would still have representative in
the United States senate. There is
nothing like experience.
Albert Lea Standards: Those who
prefer Dave Clough to S. M. owen for
governor are certainly too ignorant,
| bigotted or demoraliZed politically to
sleep well at night, and some day when
| they come to enjoy the privileges of
| good sense and independent Judgment
| they will be ashamed of themselves
and swear forever after to be free and
| support only decent men for office,
party or no party.
! Moorhead News (Rep): The Mime
apolis Journal says the term "coin" as
used in Senator Sherman's new bond
issue bill means "gold." If so why
was not the word used? We know
that is the way the bill will be con
strued if it becomes law, but where
| fore the cOncealment?
Litchfield Ledger: The St. Paul
Globe says that "bond issues are get
ting to be as fashionable as pink
teas' Yes, and the party that is
backing the fashion is liable to receive
| the same fate that a certain lot Of tea
once did in Boston harbor.
Moorhead News (Rep.): Some people
seem to think that the test of the
credit of the United States as nation
depends upon the amount of gold the
government has stored away in its
vaults. We have an idea, it may be a
cranky one, that the credit of nation
depends more upon the amount of its
production of those things that are
necessary to supply the demands of
civilized life at home and abroad, the
sale of which will command gold or
commodities that are needed.
ST. Cloud Journal Press (Rep.): The
last senatorial election has empha-
sized the necessity for election OF
United States senator direct by the
people. Patronage and Doodle is not
the proper means to decide the cleo
ton. The people can lie trusted to
elect their own servants.
Fertile Journal: A bill offered by
Senator Ringdahl, land which he sought
to have passed under suspension OF
the rules, called several senators tC
their feet with amaZement on their
faces. The bill proposes to authorize
district judges to appoint assistants
to the county attorney at salary not
to exceed $40 per day. If passed the
law would doubtless give great powers
to district judges all over the state, as
there was no restriction as to circum
stances.
Moorhead News (Rep.): Are we tc
infer by the fact that twO-thirdS OF
the Democratic senators and represen
tativeS in the legislature voted for Mel
son, that the Democratic party has been
swallowed up in this state? The popu
lar vote last fall suggested it and this
later act almost confirms it. In the
campaign of 1896 it is quite probable
that only two parties will have fight
ing existence, namely, the Republican
and the Populist.
Duluth Commonwealth: Except
from the advocates of special interests
we fail to hear the echo of the wall OF
Washburn's defeat. Washington seems
to have forgotten that the value Of his
services are hencefOrth lost to the
country. When you put your finger in
the water and pull it out again yor
are sometimes surprised to see how
small a hole it leaves.
Dassell Anchor: The Todd County
Argus advises the State University
students to take gymnastic exercises
with bucksaw instead Of clamorine
for an appropriation of 100000 for a
state gymnasium. We agree with Bro
Sheets. If any Of the students are toe
good to saw wood they can visit the
Y. NJ. G. A. gymnasium, 70 which they
can be properly admitted upon appli
cation. If 1000 students were to stanC
