cord, for the time being, with the ma

spective states. New York has follow
ed the example of Kentucky, undeter
red by the scathing reply of Senator
Lindsay to the Frankfort lawmakers.
The action taken by the assembly at
! Albany is inspired, of course, not so
much by disapproval of anything that
| Senator Murphy has or has not done,
as by the desire to score a point for
! the party The Platt people are silly
enough to suppose that they can pro-
duce some effect upon New York vot-
ers by holding up a Democratic SEN
ator to condemnation and demanding
that he vacate his place in favor of
enc of their own kind. Their resolu-
ton will probably not be dignified by
attention Or reply.
| We hardly expected so speedy a vim
dication of the G | o b es position that,
if legislative majority could demand
! senator's resignation because he diff
fered from them on matter of federal
policy, it could with equal propriety
call for his retirement because he diff
fered in his party belief. It would
seem as if this old and foolish dodge
had been tried often enough to have
fallen into disrepute. Under pressure
of great excitement legislatures have,
| at various times in the past, asked that
senator should yield to some one in
! accord with their own opinion and in
sympathy with some issue that had
arisen to sudden and unexpected prom
that entire absence of respect to which
they are entitled.
A state legislature has no such con-
troll or supervision as is implied over
the action of a United States senator.
To admit for one moment, even in the
most extreme circumstances, it's right
to dictate would be to throw our whole
system into confusion, ard to make
the term of office of a senator conci-
dent merely with the fleeing chance
of party supremacy and personal pop
Ularity.
A man or body of men careful of it's
own dignity does not assert preroga-
tives that il does not possess and can
not acquire. To do this only exposes it
to ridicue, If this was true in Ken
lucky, where a majority of Senator
Lindsay's own party had changed its
position on an important question, af.
ter electing him by a unanimous vote,
how much more true must it be in
New York. where the censuring ma
jority is composed of representatives
of the opposite party and is acting
from purely partisan motives. The leg
islature of New York merely makes
itself additionally absurd when it de-
sends to such farcical work as the
passage of resolution not worth the
paper on which it is written.

han Scaimmerlfn, reached here yester-
day from Chicago, where they have
been having trouble with the Wabash
road over the value of their outfits,
which were burned up in one of that
company's cars near Niagara falls.
The men swore the value of their
outfits was between $500 and $4O0
head, and the road agreed to pay 800
a piece. Twenty eight of them agreed
to this, and came to st. Paul, while
the others tarried. The advance guard
left here on the Great Northern, and
will wait on the coast for the strag-
glers to follow.
There is a third contingent being or
gained in New York, and it is thought
that before the Queen sails on the 18th
there will be 100 members of the party.

PRESS COMMENT.
From the Fairmont News.

The St. Paul o b has changed hands.
and, to our mind its appearance has been
changed for the better. The glazing head
lines have been removed, and it eyinces a
disposition to print the news, rather than in
dulge IN sensationalism. 1t claims to be
Democratic, but we doubt if Bryan and his
followers will concede that claim, as it still
appears to be for sound money. In other
respects 1t IS surely Democratic, for it OPP
poses everything that Republicans propose
and that seems to be the great test of De-
mocracy. So far there is every promise that
the change of management will improve the
paper, and the News is glad of it.

The Shell or the Kernel.


DR.. Abbott stands at one extreme of the
Protestant church and DR.. Smith seems to
stand at the other. The tendency of Dr. Abbott
is in the direction of the views set forth by
Matthew Arnold between twenty and thirty
years ago. He seems to be laying stress on
the notion that religion is life and that it is
manifested in conduct In this respect he
does not differ with many other preachers 1t
is when he frankly declares that baptism and
attendance at the services of the church and
observance of the Sabbath are of no conse-
Quence if they do not help men to the higher
life that he departs from the practice Of most
other preachers.

Western Prosperity.

The change of the United States with
reference to the countries of the Old
World from a debtor to a creditor
nation is matched by the change of
this Western country in it's relation to
the East. No more significant ex-
preston Of this altered financial
and economic attitude has been
made than is found in the New
York dispatches, which relate
what they call a financial phe-
nomenon in the purchase by Western
bankers of bonds and other securities
on their own account. 1t strikes Wall
street with amazement that the West
should become a lender instead of
borrower. 1t is the same sort of
amazement that has overtaken the
capitalists of Europe, when they find
that America is no longer dependent
upon them for support and has ceased
applying to them for loans 1t is all
part of the same story of industry.
frugality and the accumulation of
wealth.
In no section of the country has this
process progressed more rapidly than
in the West and Northwest during the
last five years. Before that this new
country was developing by means of
borrowed capital, and borrowers were
as greedy and as sanguine as lenders
were liberal and rash The panic
came, and with its tremendous losses
it brought the great blessing of a re-
turn to the basis of sanity Men Quit
making fortunes out of soap bubbles
and went to work to retrieve their ruin
and to pay their debts.
The years since then, though full of
struggle, have been full of results.
We have heard from every state Of the
= rapidity with which farm mortgages
have been paid off. Statistics show
that, even during the depression. and
notably since then, there was plenty
or money in country banks The great
cities suffered most, while the bulk of
our people have been making and put
ting by wealth at a rate never ap-
preached in our history before.
AS a measure of this we have the de-
mand Of capital everywhere for some
safe and reasonably remunerative in
Vestment. The United States has all
sorhed all the securities that Europe
had to spare, and there is not a. civ
OF the East whose bonds, if open to
public subscription in case of a new
loan. would not be taken from three
to ten times over within a few weeks.
With the accumulation of capital in
financial centers of the East we have
already become familiar 1t is only
lesser portion OF the same great fact
that capital has accumulated in all the
centers, great and small, West as wei;
as East, and that it, too, is seeking
employment Wall street says that a
demand from the West, not for gilt
edged securities necessarily, but for
any kind that are reasonably safe and
pay moderate return, is heavy and
constant.
This reveals Western progress and
Western prosperity. It is a sentence
OF iv~th upon the calamity howlers.
1t makes it impossible for intelligent
people to believe as some of them
have done in times of distress, that
there is a scarcity of money" 1t
means that we have passed the point
of living by the sufferance of others,
and that prosperity, not wrung
from legislation, but gathered from
the broad surface of our fertile fields
has come, and will remain with us of
the Northwest

folks they know, these roosters

farm folks misconstrue much of their
