D. L. Bigham does not like the
present winter for one reason alone.
He says that it has been his expert
ence whenever Minnesota enjoyed a
winter like the past drouth was sure
to be the cry the following summer
He cites the winter of 1872 as an IL
lustration in point. The summer was
exceedingly dry, and that was the first
year that grasshoppers made a raid
and destroyed SO many crops in this
section. He fears that next spring
and summer will be a repetition of
1872. The winter is very pleasant,
just the same, and if farmers think
Mr.. Bigham is correct in his predic-
ton, which time will tell, it will be
we'll to prop the seed an inch or two
farther into the ground next spring, in
order to give them all possible moist
ure.

the gubernatorial question. The admin
istration of Lind can scarcely be profit
able to the Democrats. for he will be u1-
able to do anything for the advancement
of Democratic politics. The governor
has power to nominate good many i'm
portant officials, but they must be con-
firmed by the Republican senate or they
cannot take the places Of the present in
cumbents. That a party in the state
can be benefited by having governor at
odds with all his associates in the exc
cutvc department and in both houses of
the legislature is doubtful proposition.
Still it was famous victory and a
splendid tribute to John Lind"
What the Washington Post says of Mr..
Lind's administration, as far as the
Democratic party is concerned, is very
true. 1t is evident that the citizens of
Minnesota do not desire reforms, or they
would have elected legislature and a
judiciary to cooperate with the COVER
nor-eect in carrying out remedial meas

apathy, but he will do the best he can

Ex-senator w. D. Washburn considers
the retention of the Philippine islands by
the United States a practical necessity.
In an interview he says: "The falling
of these islands into our possession is
nothing short of providential. I do not
think the United States would ever 90
to war for the purpose of extending her
trade facilities, but here we have gained
at comparatively no cost to ourselves,
Pacific possession that places us in the
foremost position among world powers
as bidders for Asiatic commerce. Of
course we cannot turn these islands back
to Spain. That would be both wrong and
foolish. We can, in fact, do nothing less
than admnister them ourselves, and,
knowing something of the Filipino. l
believe he will respond rs readily to civil
izng influences and fair and honest
government as have the natives in the
Gilbert group under English administra-
ton. For my part I should have had
nothing to say had the Philippines fallen
into England's possession through the
fortunes of war. The islands would have
been assured proper administration and
their trade would have been open to the
world. AS it is, America must show her
capacity for colonizing in the Philippines
and Americans will reap the benefit of
the enormous trade"

ues: Superstition is to make a guess
without demonstration" That would
be guessing. Again: Superstition is to
disregard the relation between facts"
That would be stupidity, not supersti-
tion. Again: Superstition is to be-
lieve in the supernatural" Here he begs
the question, for if the supernatural ex-
lists it is not superstitious to believe in
it; and he has not proved its non-exist-
ence. He has sinned against his own
definition of superstition by making
guess for a demonstration. He guesses
the non-existence of the supernatural and
then accuses of superstition those who
do not agree with his guess. In the last
analysis his definition of superstition
should be this: Superstition is to be-
lieve anything that Ingersoll does not be-
lieve. This would be Ineligible, If not
convincing.
