The Princeton editor did not read the
New York Fourth of July address, but
he learned that Altgeld made it and
concluded it was bad-that evil motives
were lodged in every sentence.
The battle of the standards was fought
to finish in 1895. The American peo-
pie will guard their monetary system
from debasement; no fear of that. In
1900 Bryan will hardly be captain of q
huckleberry Minneapolis Jour
nal. +"
Don't be so sure about it. It cost
the grand old party several millions of
dollars, contributed by trusts and mono
poles, and In addition thereto wealth
of falsehood and deceit, to guard the
precious gold standard last year, and it
is extremely doubtful if they will ever
again be able to marshal such effective
forces in behalf of the few and against
the many. The Journal, to be sure, still
harps upon the prosperity, that fingers,
we know not where, but, unlike the
Journal, there are not q few Republican
papers that have the frankness to admit
that Republican promises are IN no great
danger of being fulfilled. Bryan on the
other hand is, from day to day, gaining,
instead of losing, in strength among the
people, the Journal to the contrary not
withstanding. The people, who read
the Journal last fall and voted for Bry-
an in spite of its strenuous appeals, know
that it lied about the Ne5raskan then,
and they are ever more certain that it is
lying about him now. And they are not
the only ones.
The Minneapolis Times is authority
for the statement that Jim Hill, the
great Northern magnate, has made up a
slate for the Republicans to ratify. 1t
is as follows: For senator to succeed
Davis, Charles A. Pillsbury; for COVER
nor, A. E. Rice; for congress from the
Minneapolis district, D. M. Clough; for
mayor OF Minneapolis, T. B. Walker.
Pillsbury, Clough and Walker deny the
slate and say they are amused by the
publication. But the Times says it has
become so common for candidates for
office to persist in denying that they
have such aspirations until the last mo.
ment, as though it we're something dis
creditable which they preferred not to he
caught at, that it has become impossible
to attach much weight to such denials.
John Goodnow has been confirmed as
consul to Shanghai. For the Minnesota
Republicans, who opposed him and
failed, we have no sympathy. They have
toadied to Goodnow as a boss when in
fluence was his and when it would re-
dound to their own advantage, and they
should now take their medicine as meek
ly as they know how. As for Mckinley,
our respect for him is like the sins of the
young salvationist completely washed
away. e.. "
The Senate did good thing when it
reduced the House duty on lumber from
50 to 81 per thousand. This sentiment
of ours may not be strictly orthodox, but
the lumber kings have been so swinish
in their steals that they deserve no pro-
lection at all.-Preston times.
Judge Nelson of the federal berch, at
one time, when an unreasonable verdict
had been rendered by jury of twelve
mon, leaned over his desk and ordered
the clerk to set aside the verdict at once

and he meant what he said. We need
more judges like Nelson.
