I MINNESOTA was the first State in
the. Union to muster its full compile
ment of men into the service Of the
United States under the presidents
cal, and the creditssfor this patriotic
prompt nessis due to GovernorG Tough.
AS soon as notice was received from
the departing nt that Minnesota
was calledsupon to furnish three thou
sand infan try for the war with. Spain,
the governor devoted his whole atten-
ton to the task Of placing thefmen at
the presidents disposalfa at the earliest
possible moment and III the Best com
dition that the means of the State per-
mitted. He has had the usual trou-
'bles and annoyances to contend against.
Hostile newspaper criticism, selfish
politicians, hysterical women, too ar
dent patriots and citizens who were
not ardent enough, but, it is pleasant
to: note that Governor Clough has
stood firmly and manfully to his.
task and has brought it to a fiat
teringly successful termination. OF
his appointments it can be said that
none have been made except on the
basis of fitness and ability, and this is
is especially shown in the officers com
handing the three Minnesota regi-
ments. mo feather-bed soldiers need
apply''' has been the motto and a
political pull however strong has
been sufficient to overcome physical or
mental disqualification. This is as it
should be and the governors
firm policy in this regard
has been productive of less
friction and dissatisfaction than in any
other State. From the time of the is
sue OF the Presidents call for troops
David M. Clough has exercised his full
powers and prerogatives as governor
with the single end in view, of worth
lily maintaining the reputation of Min
nesota as the first to respond to the
nations call in the hour of need. In
his staff and assistants he has been ex-
cellently supported and the selection
of his aides has simply shown that the
governor knows good man when he.

ALMOST any kind of cheap newspa-

discredit of Gov. Clough that some of
this caliber of gentry has been en-
gagged in their favorite occupation of
throwing mud at him for his conduct
OF the military affairs of the State for
the past two weeks. Gov. Clough is
not by any means a perfect man, and
has a generous sprinkling of faults,

been a difficult. one to fill, and we
should like to see some Of his critics
placed in his place and be given the

The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.

From the F'dirhavea N. Y. Register

states that for tw twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-

such pain that she was nearly crazy.

physician he went to the. store and Sc
cured a bottle of His wife did not
approve, of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at

He says that no medicine which she
had used ever did her as much, good.

reappointed, together with the rest
of the officials, excepting DR..

ct secured victory. F. p. Warner

While the balloting for officials
was secret, it was very open
secret that Lines and Frazier, the
holdovers OF. the Lewis admins
tration and Blunt and Bedwell,
composed the quartette who did
the appointing. Peil, the solitary
holdover of the opposition and
George Deibert, who took the
place of his brother Ira, were evil
IDENTIFY the two in the minority.
1t had beensupposed that Blunt,
who is said to have strong church
affiliations, would oppose Squyres'
reappointment and there was con-
siderable curiosity as to how the
new Mayor would vote on the tie
thus resulting. But the marshal
called Blunt aside before the meet
ing and talked earnestly to him
and in consequence Mayor Nc
Guire was not called upon to vote.
The complexion of the commit
tees gives the Union ticket con
troll of everything, save the public
buildings. The opposition has
one man ON each committee save
that on streets, bridges and alleys,
which is entirely made up of adj
ministration men. The new mayor
explained that in the composition
of the committees it had been the
endeavor to keep the same men
who had previously served on each
one so as to have the benefit of
their experience.
The old board was called to
order by Mayor Lewis, Ira Del
bert being the only absentee. A
recess was taken while the finance
committee audited bills. 1t sub
ssquently reported about two
thirds of the bills, which were al
lowed, and held over the other
third.
The report of the committee to
audit the town books was read and
accepted. Among other things
it showed an Indebtedness of over
$4,000.
The report of the canvassing
board was accepted, as well as the
reports of the various city officials.
Then the retiring mayor cleared
his throat, raised his voice and
read very fast statement that
