law. The talk Of there being money
behind the bill is nonsensical.. The
only thing Z blame Gov. Clongh for
was his failure to pardon the. Younger
brothers when he had the opportunity.
Gov. Clough has. repeatedly told me-
that he was sorry he did not temper
justice with mercy before the board Of
pardons came into existence. Senator
Wilson, the author of the bill. is a.
gentleman above and beyond reproach.
The Younger brothers have amply
atoned for their misdeeds. Let. them
spend their few remaining days on
earth with the friends OF. their boy

Jermane in Minneapolis Jour-
nal: A good deal of speculation is be-
ing INDUCED in regarding the political
future OF j. f. jacobson, mem Der Of
the house from Lac tqui Parle county,
1t is conceded that he can b ave place
on the State ticket in 1900 should he
say the word;;: but what place2 Some
would run him for governor some for
secretary ef state, some for member of
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion, in the event of the passage of the
Torsen bill. But there is a suspicion
that Mr.. j Jacobson wants none ofthese.
1t is whispered that he would like 10
succeed r. G. Dunn. as state auditor.
and intends therefore to wait until
1902. Such an am bition would in
.terfere to some extent with the plan
to hand the audit0rship,d down to S. G.
lversOn, at present head deputy, and it
would be interesting to know Just
what Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Iverson think
about it. 1T is matter Of common
knowledge that Mr.. Dunn has been
busy for several months working up a
boom for Jacobson for secretary of
state. s r> .,"-. ,@.r-
Mr.. Jermane is an able newspaper
man and royal good fellow, but there
are several inaccuracies in the above
paragraph. In the first place 1902 is
too far remote for even such an astute
gentleman as Mr.. Jermahe to make po-
litical representations with any de-
gree of correctness. Many things
that the political seers do not dream of
may happen between now and then.
In the second place there is no plan to.
hand down the authorship to Mr.. S.
G. Iverson. And in the third place
Mr.. Iverson and Mr.. Dunn think there.
is no office within the gift Of the,
people of the State too good. for
Mr.. Jacobson. Mr.. Dunn has not
devoted a moment of his time to boom
ing Mr.. Jacobson or anyone else for any
Office. As far as the secretaryship Of
state is. concerned Sam Langum claims
Ito have lead ,ine,siineh on that. Office:

some trouble, hence it is absolutely
necessary to switch Jake onto another
track. Sam and his boomers are cute.

young men employed on the staff of the
