The Minnesota senate did an un.
usual act Tuesday in passing
resolution requesting the president
to name the judiciary committee
in alphabetical order, and allow
the committee to select its own
chairman. Political. pressure had
been exerted to have a change
made in the craftsmanship of that
The senate evidently
believed it would relieve Lieut..
Gov. Gibbs if the matter was taken
from his hands, and left to the
committee. While he made no
statement regarding his desires in
the matter, It was motto able that
some of the warmest friends of the
presiding officer voted for the reso'
ilution. The committee promptly
reelected Senator II. f. Stevens.
He will be remembered by the peo.
pie of Little Falls, as he and Adam
Bede spoke at the Gross ope a
house during the late campaign in
the interests of the Republican
ticket.

A Washington telegram says
The Minnesota delegation took
the first step today in reference tt
cabinet position for the state
A letter signed by every member
of the house and by Senator Mel
son and Congressman.elect Morris
was sent to Maj. Mckinley setting
forth that any report in reference
to opposition to the appointment
of Senator Davis to a cabinet posi-.
ton, so far as the delegation is
concerned, Is entirely unfounded.
The letter adds that Davis ap.
pointment would give gene raj
satisfaction to the Republicans OF
Minnesota and also to the gold
standard Democrats who voted
the state and national ticket last
November. It is understood that
the letter was sent to counteract
the report current at Canton that
there was serious opposition to
Davis.

How Grow Wing County Retrenches

Several weeks ago the Crow Wing
county commissioner rebated the
back taxes against q business man of
Brainerd aggregating about $1,1OO.
after a judgment had been secured
for the amount. which of course
would take preference oyer any other
claim against the property, which is
valued at many times the amount Of
the taxes. This week the new board
was in session three days, and the
five members will each receive for
their services $500 per day and mile
age, and during these three days the
expenses OF the county were reduced
$11O per annum by taking $50 per
year. off the salary of the county
superintendent of schools and $500
per month from the wages paid the
ianitor of the court house. Retrencl,-
ment is the watchword of the hour!

who Is engaged in building air ships.
tie says the air ships make regular
daily trims between San Francisco
and Minnea polls, and when asked
how he Gu me here, he said that the
air ship came around this way and
let him out at the fair grounds.
he refers to men named Rogers,
Ntzhugh,. McAllister and Browney.
tie says Rogers and McHugl1 robbed
him III 800, and that he had killed
McHugh and anchored his body near
some bridge. McAllister il his friend ,
whom he is continually inquiringfor.
One OF his imaginings is that he is

The unfortuna te man is apparently

is OF stout bnild, medium height, and
wears Il. dark grey chin beard. He
is neatly dressed and has the appear

claims that he is not, but says he

THE POPS TO CUT LOOSE.

THE POPS TO CUT LOOSE.
St. Paul Dispatch: George F.
Washburn of the Peoples party
national executive committee, has
had enough of the Bryan alliance,
and wants the Popu]ists to cut
loose and run their own party
machine separ .tely and independ.
emit y hereafter.
Mr.. Wash burn is frank and open
In his statements of reasons for
advocating this course. He says
that the Populists united with the
silver forces in the late campaign,
not because they believed free
coinage of silver to b. the solution
of the financial problem, but
because it would be the entering
wedge for a fiat paper money
system. Now he believes they
should return to their main and
broader issue instead of remaining
with the Bryanites Oh the narrow
silver platform and submit to be
swallowed up in the Popocratic
organization.
Mr.. Wash burns reasoning is
good from his point of view. In
the recent campaign the Populists
were used as mere tools and cats
paws by the silver Democrats.
They were not accorded place on
the national ticket nor permitted
to have any voice in shaping the
campaign. In spite of the re.
peated snubs to which they and
their vice-presidental candidate
were subjected, they proved faith.
full to the Chicago ticket IN the
main. Having kept faith until
the fight was over and having
tasted the bitterness Of defeat
through the mistakes and the
essential weakness Of the Bryan
managers and the Bryan cause, the
Popul1sts are now justified in flock.
ing by themselves.
1t is evident that if they remain
a portion Of the Chicago organiza.
ton they must continue to be the
hewers of wood and dra Wers of
water, while at the same time
submitting to have their vital
principle-''full legal tender paper
money issued and regulated by the
government alone oversloughed
by bogus and make.shift issue.
Now is the time for them to
assert their freedom, for, as Mr..
Washburn tells them, two parties
cannot exist on the same issue
without the greater sorbing the
smaller, and if they submit to be
mere. camp-followers of another.
ty'disintegration Will result.
1t would be interesting to in.

numerically inferior to the Popo.

the real backbone of the orgapiza.
ton. With the brains and
character of the old Democratic
party absorbed by the gold
standard wing, and with whatever
honesty and sincerity there was in
the Chicago movement eliminated
by the Withdrawal! of the Populists,
what is left of the Bryan outfit
could hardly be reckoned as very
important force in the coming
campaigns.

The Spaniards seem to know as lit
tie as to the intentions of the admins
tration at Washington in Cuban affairs
as do the American people. All sorts
of rumors are abroad, and all sorts of
opinions expressed, but there is really
nothing positive known, probably for
the very good reason that nothing pos
tive has been arrived at. The situa-
ton is full of possibilities that may
become embarrassing, and the govern
ment is going slow. Altogether
too slow to suit the impa-
thence of the people, but per-
haps not too slow for the proper and
wiser adjustment of affairs without
unnecessary blood shed. We must all
wait for the wagon and there is no use
in getting fidgety before the horses
are hitched on.
