THE refusal of congress to admit the
territories of Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma to statehood was sensi-
bic and we'll taken. There is abso-
lutely no reason for the admission of
the barren deserts of the two first
named, and as for the last, it is time
enough for it to apply for statehood
when it has demonstrated that it can
behave itself as a territory. Up to
date it's principal record has been that
of train robbery, syndicated resistance
to United States marshals and private
vendettas that have not yet reduced
the territorial population to its proper
elements. A few we'll chosen killing
will help things, but there is time
enough yet.

TO be consistent Mr.. Donnelly should
have chosen the anniversary of Baco1, S
birth as his wedding day. Mr.. Don
nelly has never done anything special
for Washington, and there is nothing
in particular about the event to argue
for the selection of Washington s
birthday for the wedding; but with
Bacon it is different. If it were not
for Mr.. Donnelly not one person out of
hundred in this country would know
who Bacon was. If it is not too late
we suggest that the date be changed.
True there may be some difficulty
about fixing the date, but Mr.. Don
nelly can undoubtedly ascertain it by
a good reliable cryptogram.

Gov. TANNER, of Illinois, is proba-
bly, the only executive of any State
who fears to take part in the ordinary
public functions appertaining to his
office because of the public insults that
are invariably heaped upon him when
he does so appear. And yet Gov. Tan
ner is said to be an aspirant for further
honors at the hands of Illinois Repub-
licans. The two statements seem ut
terly irreconcilable, and yet they are
true. For his part in the passage of
the Allen bills. which gave Chicago to
the street railway companies, the gov
ernor lost the respect of the public, but
gained the support of the corporations.
Now let US see whether the corpora
lions, or the people of the State OF
Illinois, are the sovereigns.

WHEN the Democratic party sets
out on a mission Of economist reform
there are only two points at which it
ever occurs to that choice aggrega-
tion to begin neutrality-suspicious. and
public buildings. It never seems to
occur to the Democrats that the money
paid out by the government for these
two classes OF appropriations comes
back, almost to the last dollar, to the
people who are taxed to pay it, and
that therefore it can be viewed only as
a relative burden. The pensioner pays
out most of his money to his neighbors
for the necessaries of life, while the
greater part of the appropriations for
public buildings is paid to laborers.
What two classes need the money
more, or will make a better use of it
than these?

NO BETTER TIMBER
Inc name OF L. w. Collins is still
mentioned in connection with the nom
lnatlon for governor though he is not
saying anything ABOUT it himself.
There is no better timber in the State
for the head of the State ticket than
M. Collins and it is needless to saw
that if he consents to become candi-
date he can depend on this section of
the State to stand by him. No other
candidate yet mentioned would bring
as much strength to the ticket here as
Mr.. Collins. 1t would be quite a sacri-
flee on the part of Mr.. Collins to sur
render seat on the supreme bench to
become candidate for governor, but
he might be induced to do so.-Todd

THAT bottomless pit story from Kan
sas has been investigated and found to
be canard. Of course, Kansas never
did have any luck. Just as they think
they have found a suitable place to be-
stow a job lot of Populist statesmen
luck turns against them again, and
they find themselves at the same old
disadvantage. In the future, as in the
past, when they find conspicuously
incompetent, irrelevant and inmate
rial damphool they will send him to
Washington.

The fear that Tom Watson would
burst with pent-up enthusiasm and
suppressed language is now relieved,
and we can rest easy. Tom says he is
going to run for governor of Georgia.
That's better than having him ripping

country. We congratulate Tom; we
congratulate that part of the United
States outside of Georgia: we extend
to Georgia our most profound sympa-
thy and condolences.

TIME 70 STOP II

The spaniards and their yellow SYM
pathizers is this country raised great
hue and cry when a Spanish officer,
laden with money to buy traitors, was
caught within the insurgent lines and
promptly executed, just as Andree was
executed when he was found within
the American lines on the same mis-
sion in the American revolution. But
now comes the sequel of the story in
the recital of the cold blooded assas
.sination of Aranguren, the Cuban Of
icer who executed Ruiz. It is ten
times more murder than that of Ruiz.
and has the additional charm of the
incidental assassination of the PATRIOTS
wife and family as part of the Span
ish revenge for the execution of an ad-
mitted spy. With Spanish gold as an
inducement, and to escape the torture
that is a part OF the Spanish policy
now as it was in the days of the in
QUESTION, Cuban traitor was found to
guide the Spaniards to a spot where
the Cuban officer was in retirement
with his family, and the children in
arms, the parents and the agea grand
parents were shot down by a regiment
of Spanish soldiers-a fitting blood Of
fering on the altar of liberty. +:
O., brave and puissant Spain! O,
sympathetic and patriotic America!
To see thy neighbors thus shot down
and their families massacred by the
yellow cutthroats from across the sea!
How proud we should be of such a
spectacle! If the American CONGRESS
permits this sort of thing to be indeG-
nitely continued it ought to wipe the
stars and stripes from the American
flag and paint the whole rag yellow, as
being typical of the form of patriotism
that is popular at the close of the nine
teenth century.

The Ohio legislature has before it a
bill TO compel the railroad companies
of the State to furnish free transporta-
tion to the members of the legislature
OF that State for all time to come, or
until the act shall be repealed. There
are two sides to such a proposition. If
the law passes it. will simply compel
the companies to give that which they
always give any how, but the gift,
when performed under a statute, will
no longer be a sort of bride to the man
who accepts it.

jim HAMLIN, editor of the sterling
Blue Earth City Post himself a gallant
old soldier, gets back at the pension
haters in good shape. Jim remarks:
"We are aware that there is a new
sort of patriotism that is known as
anti-pension sentiment. This is a
patriotism that is invincible in time of
peace and invisible in time of war. It
is the worthy heir of the old stay-at-
home, substitute-purchasing party of IS
years ago. They are anxiously wait
ing for the last veteran to answer the
last summons. Now, we generally try
to accommodate our fellow-beings
while journeying through this world
of pension-haters and delinquent sub
scribers, but as an old soldier and pen
sioner, the editor of the Post blankly
refused to get off the earth just to &C
commodate pension-haters. The boys
are passing away now at the rate of
100 per day, and every year adds
largely to the mortality, but we pro-
pose to stay here just as long as we soc
anybody else breathe, and every three
months airt our pension money in the
face of these sham patriots, meaner
class of men than ever faced us in war.
OF course no country newspaper man
needs this beggarly stipend; he only
takes it to aggravate his enemies not
his enemies of 1865, but of 1897 49,

A DANGEROUS CUBAN POLICY.

DANGEROUS CUBAN POLICY.
Tom Reed may be able to drive the
cattle around at his pleasure in his
bull pen, but he cannot shut off the
manifestation of sym pathy felt through
out the country for Cuba. The people
are beginning to be indignant, not only
at the methods adopted by the Span
iards, but indignant at the postpone
ment of action in favor of Cuba in con-
gress. The Republican party leaders
at Washington are mistaken if they
think they can tride with public senti-
ment much longer. Sober-minded and
conservative people felt that the new
administration, when it came into
power, should not be EN- barrassed in
its efforts to secure an early termina-
tion of the war. There was DISPOSE
tion to give it time to work out its
policy. But public sentiment is not
going to wait indefinitely for results.
Six months was long enough. Public
opinion is a powerful thing in this
country, and those who try to dam up
the current of enlightened thought and
human sympathy in America are liable
to be swept away with a flood. The
Republican party is in more danger
to-day, from persistence in its COW
ardly Cuban policy, thanit is from the

not large enough to be the leader of

THE Herald does not propose to change the
mode of taxing railroad. The tax on the gross
earnings of the roads is probably the fairest
method, but when this tax has been collected it
should be divided by the State among the
various counties according to the valuation of
the railroad property within the respective
counties. This would be fair and just to all
the counties and would greatly reduce the bur-
den of taxation now borne by other property in
counties having large amounts of railroad prop
erty.-Duluth Herald.
The editor of the Duluth Herald has
a great head. For instance the neigh
boring county Of Isanti with a popula-
ton of over 10000 people, and not a
foot Of railroad within it's borders.
would not receive a dollar of the rail
road tax, and yet that county contrib
utes thousands of dollars annually to
the support of railroads. The asinine
proposition of the Herald, that the
terminal points should receive the
major share of all the taxes paid bv
the railroad companies, is too absurd
for any legislative body even to seri-
ously consider
