NOTES FROM EXCHANGES.

StaplesWorld: Ifwhat the Washburn
advocates say about the split in the
| party is true there will be no need for
Republicans to worry their heads over
the next senatOr-elect-he will be eth
er Donnelly or Democrat.
AnOlla Union: The Union very much
| mistakes public opinion in Minnesota,
| II in 1896. some of the big uns in the
republican party are not turned down.
st. Peter Herald: The indications
are not in favor of a new state capitol.
The feeling exists that there is no
| need for new state house during the
present hard times. Perhaps this is a
fact which will appear to Hennepin
| county solonS with unusual force.
Aitkin Republican: Senator Ring
dial objects to the legislature paying

wants the office abolished. The sena-
tor mayhaps thinks that it is fruit
less task to invoke divine blessing and
guiding on Minnesota legislature.
Dakota Ruralist: Last Saturday
over 81 100000 of gold was exported
and on Monday wheat fell two cents a
bushel. This is one of the effects of a
gold standard on farm products. You

gold parties voted at the same time

How do you like it?
Litchfield Ledger: A bill has been
| introduced to repeal the new capitol
bill. Readers, take look at your sup
ply of flour, meat, potatoes and coal,
and then repair 10 your closet and offer
up your most fervent prayer for the
success of the repeal measure. 1t is
all right to put on airs in flush times,
but when the cry of want is heard
| from all quarters, it behooves the
| Minnesota legislature to leave off all
unnecessary frills.
Waseca Herald: There isn't law.

United States that doesn't know

every bond and every greenback and
every treasury note of the government
of the United States is payable IN silre1
com Gas we'll as gold coin) and yet the
President of the United State, backed
by the gold conspiracy of Europe and
America, publishes to the world the
statement that the secretary of the
| treasury is compelled to pay out gold
| for greenbackS whenever demanded by
the gold bugs. Grover Cleveland states
| that which is not true, and he knows
| it to be untrue.
St.Charles Times: On Sunday even

reached this city, having come all the
way from Dodge Center on foot. They
| had no money and applied to Marshal
| Parr for shelter for the night, which
was given them. Their home is in
Minneapolis, but they had been work

ern road near Dodge Center. They
| said they could not earn money enough
at their jobs-loading dump cars at
cents a car-to pay their board, the
| ground being frozen too hard, SO they
concluded to go to Chicago in search
| of employment, for which city they
started on Monday morning, via Wi
mona.
Mazeppa Tribune: Ignatius Don

Donnelly knows from experience what
it is to be beat by foul means, and
Washburn had hand in putting him

sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander," and though Donnelly was
turned down years ago, Washburn's
fall has just been encompasSed, and
great was the fall of the aristocratic
ex-senator. The latter says "the great
est upheaval ever known" will be the
result of that fall, but Donnelly seems
to think that the upheaval will be
only the spasmOdic tWitchings of
Washburn's lifeless political carcass.
Chicago Express, Labor produces
five pairs of shoes, five yards of cloth,
five bushels of wheat, five feet of lum-
Der, five pounds of iron and five tons of
coal and gets money enough out of it
to purchase only one pair of shoes, one

foot of lumber, one pound Of iron, one

Clarkfield Advocate: Articles have
appeared in the daily papers recently
suggesting that the Irvine industry at
Saltwater be abolished on the ground
that it is not paying investment for
the state. We hope every friend of
the farmers in the legislature will do
his best to defend any measure that
may be introduced to accomplish such
a purpose.
| Waseca Herald: Those disinterest-
ed friends (?) of labor, the Pioneer
Press and the Morning Call of ST. Paul,
are advising railroad employees not to
join in one organization, but to main
tain separate orders and never Join the
American Railway Union. We have
