Newspaper Comment.

The president will soon have his whole
cabinet on the stump ostensibly against
free silver. Carlisle, Hoke Smith and
Morton have gone afeld to work tor
Grover and thi1d term. There is a deal
OF "pernlcious political activity in the
scheme.-Minneapolis Journal
The state press continues to sound the
praises OF Senator G. K. Davis and his
fitness for the presidential chair, and
their desire to see him nominated for the
race, and the papels of other states are
beginning to take up the strain and his
Name IS now seldom left out of the pub
lished list Of possible nominees by any
editor or politician. The more the mans
record and abilities are looked up the
more available he appears and the more
! frequent his name is brought to the 'front.'
With Cush Davis at the head of affairs in
! Washington we would have an admins
tratlon more like what James G.. Blaine
would have given US, than anv other
name that has been mentioned Benson

| Some San Francisco women are show
ering flowers on Durant, charged with
the foul murder of two young women in
that city. If there are any "new WON en-
IN Frisco, they ought to stop these pull
ing sentimentalists in this silly business
and make stalwart women of them.-

Is party platform merely scheme
! to catch votes or Is it a bona tide prom
lse to work toward securing certain re-
suits, provided the representatives of the
party are elected to office? This is a
| question for the people to consider in
connection with the attack upon Con-
| gresham Towne, of this district. If the
bimetallic plank in the national, state
| and district platforms were inserted in
good Faith, then Mr.. Towne is justified
| in the stand he has taken, but if politi-
! cal methods are nothing but trickery,
| and this pledging of the party was mere
ly to secure votes, and the aforesaid
pledges were to be ignore1 and repudia-
ted as soon as the votes were secured
then the daily press and its trailers are
taking the proper stand.-AnoKa Herald.
There is a great deal of religion in this
world that is like life preserver, only

The treasury department decides not
to interfere with the proposed bull fights
at the Atlanta exposition. The Souther-
ners may proceed with their bovine COM
bats, but in 50 doing will prove that ci-
| vilization among them has deteriorated
in as remarkable degree as that in which
their material prosperity has advanced of
late years.-Pioneer Press.
An unprejudiced mind on reading the
first days debate between Harvey and
Horr will arrive at the conclusion that
Harvey got the best of it. The princi-
pal contention of the day was that the
silver dollar was the unit of value in the
coinage system OF this country from 1872
to 1873 and that gold was measured in
this silver unit and concurrent coinage
! given to gold, Horr opposing this pro-
position and Harvey supporting ie. Horr
quoted some resolutions of the colonial
| congress trying to show that 900 copper
| half-cents were made dollar and there
fore copper might as we'll be called the
unit of value as silver. Harvey replied
that the contention was irrelevant, as this
occurred before the adoption of the con-
stitution and permanent form of gov
ernment, and quoted the act OF 1892 as
the law governing in this matter, and in
the end compelled Horr to admit practi-
cally that silver was the unit. This de-
bate will produce good results. The
gold standard papers claim that it will
brush away the cobwebs of ignorance
and expose to the American people the
dishonesty of the silverites. But judg-
ing by the results of the first day it will
let in the light Of reason and truth and
sweep away the scphistries of the gold
standard advocates and expose to the
view of the American people how they
have been plundered by the gold gamb-
lers of the world, and if it does not make
100 converts for silver and gold to one
for gold alone, the indications are mis-
| leading.-Moorhead News.
