Adrian Democrat: We notice that
Eb. Huntington, of Window, was a
passenger to the Mecca of Republican
hopes, Mankato. Eb. deserves some
thing better than a postoftice. II we
had the doing of the thing we'd send
him to the court of St. James, and
make Col. Belden body guard to
keep the bloody Hinglishers from CIV
ing him too many banquets.
Bede's Budget: In spite of the cry
about latter-day plutocracy, six of the
seven men elected to congress from
this state are poor men, as the term
is used in these days OF larger fortunes,
and every one of them began at the
bottom. The same is true of the
governor and lieutenant governor,
and it is equally true in every respect
of Major Mckinley. The richest man
relatively, ever elected to the presi-
dency was George Washington.
Scientific American: At the first
indications of diphtheria in the thfpat
close the room, then take tin cup
and pour into it an equal quantity Of
tar and turpentine, then hold the cup
over the fire so as to fill the room with
fumes. The patient on inhaling the
fumes will cough out the membra-
nous matter and diphtheria will pass
off. The fumes of the tar and tur-
pentine loosen the throat and thus
afford the relief that has baffled the
skill Of physicians.
Waseca Radical: After all, Frank
Day is likely to hold his office Of state
senator. One would hardly expect
Frank to hang on to an office under
SO corrupt, desqotic and rotten party
as the Republican party, but office
appears to be office with most of the
boys, and since losing the higher Office
of congressman by 5000 votes, his grip
on the lesser tightens like the grip of
death, and ne will hang on with the
Republicans unless kicked out. Yer
lily office is greater than principle in
the politics of the present "Day."
Marshall News Messenger: Jim
Ruane of the Slayton Gazette was at
the capitol Wednesday to get his Sec
ond naturalization papers, and it was
a real pleasure to neglect business for
an hour and half and listen to the
proxy argumeDtin the Supreme Court
in order to be on deck to swear that We
had known Jim for fifteen years and
that he was as loyal citizen as ever
welded pen or enacted the part of a
gentleman. But it die seem funny
that Jim had to complete his natural
ization papers.
School Education: At the recent
meeting of the Southern Minnesota
Teachers Association, paper on
"History and Literature in the
Grades" prepared by Miss Giles, CT
Austin, was read by F. D. Budlong
1t was a we'll prepared paper and Prof.
Budlong read it in a manner that
could not have failed to please the
author less than he did the audience
G.. F. Kenaston in one of his eloquent
torrents of appropriate words com.
mended the paper and added his own
side lights upon the subject.
Pioneer Press: Public Examiner
Kenyon Friday sent out circular
letter to county auditors, treasurer!
and auditing boards, in which hi
calls attention to the requirements OF
the law in the accounting between
outgoing and incoming county treas
urers. He points out that the books
should be examined and that tn
boards of audit should oversee tn
transfer of moneys. The procedure il
the same when treasurers succeed
themselves. Bonds, he says, should b.
carefully examined.
Il Cannon Falls Beacon: Confidence i
fully restored at this office and we viii
now accept on subscription accoun
gold, silver and any kind Of pape
money. Cordwood will be received a
par, but grubs will be subject to th'
same discount as Mexican dollars
hay, oats and corn, legal tender tt
any amount. And now let prosperit.
