MR.. PILLsBURYs IDEAS.

Charles A. Pillsbury of Minneapolis,
is not only one OF the wisest business
men in the state, but withal shrewd
observer in the field OF politics. He has
just returned from Washington, and has
this to say to Journal reporter:
''More than ANYTHING else, almost, I
was impressed with the amount OF in
fluence that length OF service gives to
members IN both houses. Take the state
of Maine. for example: They now have
speaker of the house, president pro tenn.
OF the senate, chairman of the ways and
means committee, and every one of their
members, both in the house and senate,
is chairman OF some important commit
tee. This is simply because they have
kept their old members IN service; and
have not replaced them at the end of
two or three terms.
"As to presidential possibilities. do
not know that can say anything new.
The foremost candidates. Reed and Nc
Kinley, are already hard at work, lay
ing their plans; and the favorite sons are
beginning to be trotted out. am salts :
fed that Senator Davis is earnest in his
candidature; that he IS in the fight, and
that his friends are in the fight to win,
if possible. He has good many friends
in the East, who were first attracted to
him by his famous telegram to Duluth
during the Pullman strike.
Mr.. Pillsburv was asked. what are
Senator Davis prospects for the nomi-
nation?" He replied:
THAT is a very hard question to an
swsr before single delegate is elected
from any state. But it would not be a
strange thing if the leading candidates
would be so evenly balanced that new
mai, would have to be taken OPP: and In
that case think it would very likely be
either Davis or Aiiison-probably one as
@eil as the other

CONGRESSMAN EDDY, of the Seventh
Minnesota district, made sound and
sensible speech on the silver bill i'll the
house on Saturday. He scored the free
silver faction in the senate for its 'stand
and deliver" method OF dong business,
and showed how impossible 1t would be
FOR the United States to undertake free
coinage policy single handed and alone.
He hit the nail on the head when he said
that the hard times were brought on by
the incapac,ty of the administration,
and of the party in power id the last
cosgress to legislate tor the interests OF
the nation. Minneapolis Tribune.

AS a revenge on the free exp ression of
opinion on The part OF the newspapers, in
the Northern Pacific deal, lin Hill has
withdrawn editorial mileage from the
press. May be he can get even in that
way, but we doubt it.-Echo Enterprise.
The HERALD is 10th to believe that
Mr.. Hill is actuated by 80 narrow con-
sideration in withdrawing his adverris-
ing patronage from the newspapers
along the line OF his roads in this state,
Notwithstanding he has been repeate lily
charged with such motive. He is too
large man to be governed by any such
petty spite, or else he is wholly out of
place IN the management of such great
interests as he sways, and furnishes
complete vindication of the course pur-
sued by many papers in combating, his
purpose to secure control of the two
great thoroughfares to the Pacific coast.
The HERALD does not believe he is SO
much smaller than it's conception of
him. He owes a greater debt to the
lOCdl Iudu C6tH CVCI repay
by such patronage as he has been accus-
toned to extend. Every mile of his road
has been fostered by the country press
in the several localities through which
it passes from the time it was first pro-
posed until the present moment. In all
his grand schemes for upbuilding the
country and his own fortune, the rural
press has been his best and most Efficient
friend. tits probable he has the same
mistaken idea which hundreds of busi-
ness men seem to entertain-adver
doesn't paw. There are men who have
prospered in defiance of the well settled
principle that advertising pays better
than any other investment they can
make, just as there are men who have
been struck by lightning or inherited
unexpected fortunes. But they prove
nothing, other than that all rules have
exceptions.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

In commenting upon an article in the
HERALD in a recent issue, which sug-
gested the abolition of the legal tender
clause IN the coinage laws, and admit
ting both metals into circulation unlim-
teddy by the free coinage OF both, the
Alexandria Post-News asks these very
pertinent neutrality-suspicious. which
every man would be at liberty to ans
wer for himself in concluding any tran
sactlon involving the receipt of money:
But which would the Herald editor
prefer to take for subscriptions? And
would he consider the wood ana chick
ems offered him as of equal value in both
gold and silver? How long before the
farmer would decline to take silver dol
lars for their wheat as equal to gold
dollars in value? Would it not be i'm
possible to maintain what Senator Mel
son calls the 'bimetalic circulation"
The HERALD is very free to say that it
would, in common with every one else de-
mand its pay in the metal which Was
most valuable in the markets OF the
world. But if the contention of the ad-
vocates of the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to be correct, that it is
the discrimination by law against silver
which has deprecated its value below
that of gold. then all discrepancy in
value would cease. and the HERALD, in
common with every one else, would be
wholly Indifferent as to which metal cur
rency it received. If, however, coined
silver fail to rise in value to an equality
with its yellow brother, then, of course,
gold would be demanded, and silver
would only be accepted at it's relative
value, expressed in terms OF gold, and
while the standard ofmeasure would be
gold, business transactions would be
conducted almost wholly in silver. or IN
paper based upon silver. Practically
the situation would not be novel in this
country-we had fifteen years experience
OF this kind, and it did not complicate
domestic transactions.

''There IS well-defned opinion" he
continued, .that the Republicans are
now able to nominate whomsoever they
want to. and they do not have to nom'-
nate man simply because he is avail
able, or could, perhaps, carry certain
states. On account ofthe present fnan-
cial position of the Republican party,
they are gong to be very solid in the
East; such states as Connecticut, New
York and New Jersey are not in the
least in doubt. The doubt is going. to
be more IN such states as Nebraska,
where there is a strong free.silver ele-
rnent in the Republican party. A great
manv people think that young and pro-
gressive men from the West would run
better in these particular states"
"Can you say ANYTHING as to the ma
turc OF the proposed reciprocity legisla-
tion?"
1.-THE ways and means committee are
going to appoint committee to inves-
tigate the whole matter, and the nature
OF the legislation will be determined up
on after the investigation. The. will
probably call upon several of the lead
Ing millers OF the country to appear be-
tore them in three or four weeks from
now, and will send out circulars very
generally, asking for suggestions from
all the millers. All can say is that
think the ways and means committee
are impressed with the necessity of re-
ciprocity legislation. They have not yet
considered as to what legislation is the
best to accomplish the desired results"

tory. The press is great civilizing
factor, and has done much to make
known to the world at large our re-

though much has been done and
good results accomplished, much
more remains to be done.

making known to the world our
climatic, agricultural. mineral and
horticultural advantages it has made
arrangements to issue
