Editor Sank Centre Herald:-In an article
which appeared in a late number OF the Herald,
you urge me to became q candidate for re-elec-
ton to the judgeship, saying, among other
things, that it is rumored that intend to re-
tire at the end of present term. It is true that
did not intend to ask for reelection, but as
we'll as nearly all other newspapers in my dis

and the attorneys of this district have; unani-

for reelection to the office, do not feel at lib

honor done me by the notice the press of this
district has taken in the matter, and the action
of the bar of my district, in requesting me to
become a candidate for reelection And
should the voters of the Seventh Judicial dis
trict see fit to re-elect me, I shall endeayor to
prove worthy of the trust reposed in me.

ONCE there was a prosperous family
OF seven children who thrived upon the
milk of famous COW. They got along
very nicely for many years: the seven
children taking turns feeding the cow.
But finally there grew to be feeling
among the children that there was par
TALLY shown IN the matter OF the feed
ing of the COW. They all wanted to be
chief feeder. At last two or three of
them got together and said that if a
certain member of the family was to
have the place of chief feeder they
would not contribute their share to the
maintenance fund. And so the COW
died for want of feed. This is
only a fable, of course, but if
you will call the COW the Repu blican
party, the children the seven districts,
the feed votes, the milk offices and the
Mankato meeting the dissatisfied chill
dren, there will not be much difficulty
in getting good practical application
OF the fable to suit present conditions.

IT is conceded on all sides that Judge
Collins would make an ideal candidate
for governor. He is a good campaigner
and is popular in every section of the
State. There is not a blemish IN his
public career, and his private charac-
ter is spotless. While he has always
been an ardent Republican, he hastnot
been particularly identified with any
faction of the party. He would poll
the full strength of his party; and
besides he would draw heavily from
the opposition.

WARE DANGEROUS SURPLUS. ,;


It is a trife annoying to a certain
class of critics to have their attention
called to the fact that they made a
mistake in assuming that the men who
framed the Dingley bill did not know
what they were about. In spite of the
circumstance that the country was
forewarned that there would be several
months of scant revenue under the new
tariff these critics insisted when the
shortages occurred that they we're
proof indisputable that we would be
afflicted with regular deficit unless
the act was amended. Now that the
period of shrinkage has passed and the
revenues are augmenting month after

which will probably remain unbroken
until the old "chestnut of a danger

NAVAL officers and those who are
interested in the navy in a general way
are congratulating themselves that in
the event of war the sailors wounded
in battle would be safe in the am
bulance ships, which sail the ban
ner of the Red Gross society, and by
international agreement that banner
is safe on any sea- But what does
Spain care for that? There is nothing
in the world which calls out the fight
ing propensities Of a Spaniard like the
sight of a hospital or an orphan
asylum. Why that is right where
Spain shines, and she would no more
hesitate to attack an ambulance ship
than she would Cuban fever hospital.
