THE NELSON BILL.

I trs y Of .+E u o.
Senator Nelson's bill is criticised in
that it offers too easy a way out of in
solvency and will tend to encourage
fraudulent bankruptcies. We doubt
the validity of the latter claim. AS to
the former, it is surely better, under
present conditions, to be lenient to the
debtor. Credit has been too readily
given and is overstrained It will be
we'll to have applications for it scanned
more critically. There is a good pros
pect for the passage of the Nelson bill,
and it seems to come nearer to meeting
public opinion, as a whole, than any of
its rivals.--i&. Paul Globe.

Bryan will take part in the Ohio
campaign this autumn in pursuance of
his plan to keep himself before the
public and secure the presidential
nomination in 1900. Of course Bryan
doesn't care which party confers upon
him the nomination. What he wants
is to be nominated by something and
he will run, having faith in palmistry
which deciphers in the reticulated
lines of his hands the star of destiny.

CRIMINAL NEGLECT.

The last session of the legislature
has many sins to answer for, but per-
haps the most serious one will be its
deliberate and vicious failure to ade-
quately provide for the insane of this
State. The State board of hospitals
for the insane and the board OF Cor
rections and Charities haye repeatedly
pointed out the necessity for increased
buildings, and the legislature two years
ago appropriated money for the pur-
chase of a site for a fourth hospital.
Because the commission did not locate
the site to accommodate the jobbers of
ST. Paul, that organization precipi-
tated a fight that was disgrace to the
State. The blame rests wholly upon
the legislature. It refused to act, with
full knowledge Of the situation, and in
spite of the earnest recommendations
of the hospital board, the board Of Cor
rections and Charities, and the gov
ernor of the State. St. Cloud Journal

STILL GROWING

The growth that has come to the
Northwest in thirty-fve years is going
on, and in thirty-fve years more we
will look back and W onder how we could
have been so short sighted in the mat
ter OF predictions. We have a great
area running through to the coast, and
in the years to come it will be filled
with people. There is the great ad-
vantage here of an agricultural region
unsurpassed, and with it water-power,
great quarries of building stone, live
stock ranges, mines, lumber, etc. It
should take no one a long time to see
the future with that great area spread
out. And the transformation will come
rapidly minneapolis = Commercial Buz-

A SOCIALISTIC uTTERANCE.

Steadily but surely the business and
wealth Of the country is concentrating
in fewer hands. You can see evidences
OF it all about you. The great ssmid-
die class, 8 which used to constitute so
large portion of our people, is grad
ually disapp being pressed down
into the ranks Of the wage workers.
Political freedom cannot long co-exist
with the economic despotism that is
upon us. No civilization can endure
half slave and half free We are
bound to have the cooperative COM
monWealth or the empire, and it won't
take many years more to tell which,
