4 GRANITE FALLS Tribune: Quite a
number of our exchanges seem to have
lost sight of the fact that the cam
paign is over and the victors and the
vanquished are alike entitled to de-
cent consideration. For instance, it is
not good journalism nor good politics
for the Minneapolis Journal to continue
its abuse Of Coy. Clough, and neither
is it good politics or good journalism
for the party press to further indulge
in harsh and unjust criticisms Of the
silver leaders, for again we say, the
campaign is over, and the man or the
newspaper that is unable to lay down
arm ar s. the battle is ended is not
the worthy foe of a worthy enemy.

WADENA journal: "Jerry J.,'' the
political writer for. the Minneapolis
Journal, said recently that majority
of the present State officials lived
north of the center line drawn from
east to west through the State. But
he was mistaken, as many citizens of
the State are, when they speak of
northern Minnesota. The geograph-
ical center of the State is put IL miles
south of Wadena, and every State Of
fetal lives in the southern half. The
northern part Of the State is practically
a closed book to those who believe that
Minneapolis is the center of Minnesota.

\ LET'S HAVE II.


Some Minnesota statesmen ought to
have gumption enough at the coming
session of the legislature to introduce
e bill providing for the Torrens sys.
tenn OF real estate transfers il this
State. True, the supreme court Of iii:
nois declared a certain section Of the
Torrens law in that State unconstitu-
tional but such a defect can be easily
remedied and our State can have "a
much safer and cheaper means OF
transferring titles to real estate than
it has at present. There is splendid
opportunity for some aspiring young
statesman to confer a blessing 1.-THE
State and honor on himself by intro
ducing and champ ioning a bill to in
troduce the Torrens law in Minnesota.

CLEvELAND's attitude when the Gu

CLEvELAND's attitude when the Gu
ban matter is preached warns us Of a
dangerous approach to monarchy by
our executives. Through his secretary
Cleveland has announced that congress
might pass all the resolutions it saw
fit recognizing Cuban independence or
.belligerency, but it would be simply
going through the motions and the
resolutions would have no effect on
Grover II. Our forefathers crossed
the Atlantic to escape evils OF such a
rule and it is not likely that their de-
.scendants will tamely submit to this
Capitalization Of power. Cleveland's
term + e'll IS nearing an end and Nc inley
should heed the mutterings Of the
threatening storm.

THAT MARROW ESCAPE. !,

Considerable has been said BY the
silver press as to what a change Of
$4,000 votes would have accomplished.
Ii the silver men take any consolation
from the line of argument, we refer
them to the following from the Chi
cago Times Herald: The Times Herald
calls attention to the fact the change
of less than %, 900 votes in New, York
alone would have defeated Lincoln,
and changed the whole course Of
American history. In 1858 change OF
80, 900 votes in seven States would have
elected Seymour over Grant. In 1876
a change of 700 votes in Oregon would
have elected Tilden without dispute.
In 1880 a change of 1000 votes in In
diana or Connecticut, II ZOO in New
York would have elected Gen. Han
cock, and in 1884 a change of 600 votes
would have defeated Cleveland and
elected Blaine. And so there is
nothing very startling about what won
.ders the change in $4,000 votes would
have accomplished in this campaign if
properly distri buted. Hills Crescent j.

SAUK CENTRE Herald: Among the
things to bezrequested of the next leg
islature will be an appropriation for
the new State capitol. Now the State
has desired to erect a creditable State
house, one in every way commensurate
with the needs, as well as the dignity
OF the State, there is no good reason
why the work should not be pushed to
early completion. The State has
plenty of money on hand to be loaned
at a low rate OF Interest. Why not in
vest it in capitol bonds? The present
generation would be pleased to witness
the completion Of the proposed build
