Notes From Exchanges.
ST. Cloud Journal Press: Gov. .CloughI
Is more inde ebted to the Minneapolis
Times and Journal for his nomination
than any half dozen other papers in
the state. IF r ..s ..... K HHs.a<
Jackson Repu bic: DR.. Tryon has
rented the vacant school house, oppo-
site Mr.. Bushnell's, and enlarged it
and will open a city hospital, some
thing this town has long needed. The
doctor has had wonderful success while
practicing his professions in jackson
and we predict success for him in his
new venture. = .r'.. ->I
Hayfield Herald: J. G. Giere has
sold his drug store to Fred Hall, Of
Austin, who will take possession Sept.
1. While it will be with innumera BILE
regrets that our people learn of Mr..
Giere's intended departure, it will be
gratifying to know that Mr.. Hall is a
thorough druggist and very popular
young man among all who know him.
Rochester Bulletin: An exchange
says the independent vote Of the coun-
try has been growing larger and larger
each year, until it may be said to hold
the balance of power. II this is true,
it is most hopeful and encouraging
sign of the times. When the voter
comes to consider the national good
and correct principles of government
Of more value than party supremacy,
the business of the machine politician
and the boss will end.
Winnebago City Press News: Far
mer" Gibbs got second place at ST.
Paul. When here a few weeks ago,
Senator Knatvold said Mr.. Gibbs was
out for governor, and if he couldn't
secure the nomination for that place
would accept no other. Mr.. Gibbs
will get an office, proverbial for bury
ing the ambitions of statesmen, but
it is questionable whether he will
! retain as high standing in the First
district as Capt. Van SAINT, to whom
the nomination was first offered and
which he refused to accept.
Northfeld News: Every town that
has rock pile, for the amusement of
it's visitors of the tramp class, is said
to be placed on the black list of the
tramp fraternity and they pass it by,
The employment of the great class of
men comprising the great army known
as tramps is the solution of the good
roads question Of this country. Per-
manent roads could be constructed by
their labor that would be a credit to
the Government and the unemployed
furnished with work that would great
ly improve their condition.
Halsted Reporter: The merchants
in the city are raising howl because
the farmers did not patronize them
instead of ordering car load of gro
ceries from au eastern firm. 1t is a
! fact the farmers have been twisted by
I their noses. But why do not the mer-
chants tell the farmers what they can
do at home? They expect their home
paper to bark for them and advocate
the interests of the town-all for
nothing. Show the farmers what
they can get at home for their money,
and grocery sharks would SION become
obsolete.
Slayton Gazette: That Mary E.
Lease knows but little about free sill
yer so far as the government is con-
cerned she demonstrated by her fail
ure here to answer very ordinary
questions asked her at the close of
her address. That she understands
the free coinage Of silver so far as it
affects Mrs. Lease is demonstrated by
the fact that she receives from $25 to
$50 per day for her work. 1t is also
stated that she receives $4,000 a year
from the national free silver associa.
tion. but we do not state this as fact
However, there are few farmers that
get $25 day off their farms.
/. Olivia Press: The recent outrages
and murders perpetrated by tramps
in this state show the necessity o1
the next legislature taking activt
steps toward making such laws that
will tend to abolish or at least miti
gate the tramp nuisance. Outside O.
the large cities there is no provision
or if there is. it is not enforced, fol
providing work for vagrants in tn
, county jails. II they are convicted
for committing some degradation, ;
, light sentence of thirty or sixty day
? is imposed and the criminal is confined
r in the county Jail, fed we'll and takel
excellent care of at the expense of tn
I taxpayers.
How IS This?
