JOHN LIND has been elected govss
ernor'o of Minnesota, and no Republican
will gain anything, either for himself
or his party, by any cheap attempt to
hamper the executive in the discharge
OF his duty in the light in which he
sees it. If Republicans want to be sue
cessful two years hence they must show
That they are capable of giving a bet
ter administration than any Democrat
can, and they can not do this by petty
persecution of the Democratic; gov
ernor--s simply because he is a Demo

LAST Saturday evening the Republi-
can member of the legislature from the
Fourth and Fifth congressional dis
tricts met in caucus and unanimously
endorse s5sE n. An. ,Dare=forspeaker.
Mr.. Dare previously secured the unan-
lmous endorsement of his own con-
gressional delegation. He has more
than enough members pledged to him
from the other four districts to insure
his nomination on the first ballot in
the Republican caucus. j AS we have
before remarked, Mr.. Dare will make
an excellent presiding officer, and he
will accord courteous and impartial
treatment to every member of the
house. At all times and under all Cir
cumstances Mr.. Dare is gentleman.

IT looks like very simple, honest
and intelligent proposition that man
who has. not sense enough to cast his
ballot intelligently under the present
plan has not sense enough to vote any
how, and had better go to school than
be kicking about the partially of the
law. And if a candidate has not done
enough to make the public acquainted
with him, even though his name ap.
pears we'll down on the ticket. he had
better get out and do something before
he goes before a State convention and
asks nomination.

that district will be accorded at least
two ofthe above offices in 1900 True,
the Sixth district has furnished sew

be remembered that the Sixth was the
first district in the State to declare for
Capt. Van SAINT in 1895, and it should
be borne in mind that some OF Can't,

PROF. CARLSON, of St. Peter, is be-
ing ''mentioned'' as a candidate for
congress to succeed McCleary in the
Second district. Before the Second
district makes up its mind to trade
horses it had better agree on some
man other than the. first to lose his
own county in d. contest in a great
many years. ''The man with the
clarion voice and Websterian brow" is
a good thing to look at, but he couldn't
carry Nicollet county, and the Second
district is not looking for that kind of
candidates, we are inclined to believe.

MINNESOTA is justly proud of the
fact that: she has a member. of the
peace commission, and that he is not a
lay member, either, but one who has
something to say about what the Span
iards shall do as a condition of peace.
Since the beginning of the war Sena-
tor Davis has forged to the front as one
of the first men of the nation, and he
will take his place in history along
with Henry Clay, Patrick Henry,

ENDORSES THE IDEA.

The idea advanced by State Auditor
Dunn for mock election during each
campaign in every school district in
the State has considerable merit The
suggestion is that the coming legisla-
ture pass law authorizing such pro-
cedure and that. sample official ballots
such as furnished by the State be used,
the ballots to be cast exclusively by
school children above the primary
grades, the teacher to have charge
and to outline a course of instruction
covering all matters with reference to
marking and depositing the ballot.
This would not only educate the com
ing generation but would interest
many ignorant fathers and thereby i'm
part information to be reached in no
other way.-Brainerd Dispatch.

IF the hospital scandal of 1897 is to
be repeated in 1899 it would be good
thing for the State to fumigate the
State capitol before the opening of the
session and keep it under police sur

the Indications now are that that will
be just what will happen.

Isn't it about time that Minnesota's

law that will undoubtedly be asked this
winter will be the imposition Of hunt
ing license upon nonresident sports
mon. Wisconsin:imposes d tax Of 1925
upon non-residents who wish to come
inta that statefto shoot deer. 1T was
stated yesterday by a Duluth gentle
man that the :, Omaha road alone
brought into Duluth no less than 200
n'o ION who came to Minnesota
for the purpose Of hunting deer: and
most OF them came right through Wis
consin. which they lodged on account
OF this license. If these figures are not
too high, it is safe to say that several
times as many deer hunters came into
the State from all directions. The re-
suit is that not only are the deer being
killed off in Minnesota much more rap
idly than they are in Wisconsin, but
the State is losing u considerable
amount Of revenue.-Pioneer Press.
