Well, who's your choice? Owen, Ca
ton, Winston or Smith?

The salary of the secretary of the state
board of health has been reduced 81 900
at his own request Paul Globe.
Good. Evidently, it would pay to
have more veterinarians on the board.
They are not used to the high fees that
the regular physicians receive.
We have regarded Senator Davis as a
big, brainy man and thorough Ameri-
can in every fibre of his being.-St.
Cloud Times.
But he didn't have the courage and
independence to oppose the confirma-
tior of the presidents nomination to an
important public trust of moral scape-
goat and political disgrace.
Gov. Clough is making record of
which he may be proud and will step
from Office to business with the good
opinion of the whole state and the recog-
n:tion that his own abilities have, won
it for him.-Alexandria Post News.
Mark Twain has acquired remarkable
reputation for imaginative qualities and
exaggeratlon, but, much as we admire
him, we must confess that he isn't in It
with Charley Mitchell of the News.
In the preliminary skirmish for the
nomination for governor next year Weav-
er of Mankato appears to be the choice
of a good many Republicans in the
southern part of the state.-Slayton Ca
zette.
Perhaps that's true, but it is equally
true that the southern part of the state
has but very little to say in Republic
can convention. The machine that con-
controls is located nearer the capital,
The mayor of New Hampshire town
had the proprietor of a confectionery
store arrested for keeping open Sunday.
The soda water man retaliated by having
the mayor, who happens to be interested
in a livery, arrested for letting rigs on
Sunday, aud lawyer has threatened to
have the church sexton arrested unless
he stops ringing the bell on Sunday. No
one has yet announced his intention of
having the preacher arrested for preach
Ing on Sunday, but the fun is young yet.

No doubt our laws are Puritanlcal
aud foolish enough to bring things to
the extreme suggested. The people al
low themselves to be cramped in the ex-
ercise of inoffensive liberties by mock
and hypocritical piety and never seem
to think that the Pharisees who enact the
laws are narrow enough to uphold them
Patriotism bears little weight with
such men as Altgeld and it is not sur.
prising that he should give utterance tc
advice which, if followed, would destroy
the country of Washington and Jefferson

The foregoing is IN comment upon
Altgeld's speech at New York on the
Fourth of July, and is characteristic Of
the narrowness with which Republican
journals treat everything that comes
from Altgeld's brain. Let us see if i,
is just or warranted. What Altgeld SAID
was ludt IL - 1OlC W tdlh dUOuC DuTl
flying the government so long as men Of
influence and position offer vast sums tt
corrupt it." There has never been -,
great statesman who hasn't given voice
to similar sentiment, and, besides, it /.
absolutely true. Expressed by Altgeld
it is ''socialistic." "Cut off the banl
that offers bribe," he says, ssand 70,
will end corruption" Gospel truth, blu
terribly anarchistic! Gas power neve
limits itself, we must find method o
curbing it." Altgeld said this and it i
consid cred advice that threatens the per
petuity of the government. When Chic
Justice Fuller said it in his address Of
Washington, it was looked upon as
healthy warning. ''Compromlsers, trad
ers and neutral men never fight for hui
man rights Awful, isn't it! .sOnl
