THE Democratic press has a queer
way of forming an estimate upon the
number of people who approve of the
Spanish war and it's sequel in the Phil
ippines. They take pencil and paper
and figure out the number of men who
enlisted in the army; then they take
another piece of paper and figure out
the total population of the United
States; then they subtract from the
total population the number who en-
listed, and all the rest they estimate
as anti-expansionists. ''If you believe
in expansion and the administration
foreign policy,' they say, ''of course
you will go and fight for it, This es-
innate does not take into consideration
the question of sympathy at all; it
does not enter into any considera,
tion of the merits of the case, and does
not take into account the millions who
have worked and voted in support o1
the administration and it's policy
But for a Democratic theory it an
swers every purpose for which it was
conceived

THE Alexandria Post Nears has Just
celebrated it's entry into new quarters
where it has introduced a new plant,
including cylinder press, and all the
appliances of a modern newspaper.
The Post-Neocs was always a good
newspaper and always will be as long

it. May it live forever, and may each
year of its existence be better and
more profitable to its proprietor than

The farmers of the Red River valley
are still disposed to enter a protest at
the manner in which they have been
treated by the legislature of the State.
When the farmers of the Red River
valley quit sending Populists to the
legislature and elect good men to rep
resent them, they will get all that is
their due. If they insist upon electing e
Populists just for the principle Of the
thing they should be content to accept
the result of the sacrifice out of prin.
ciple.

THERE is nothing very encouraging
to the Democrats of Minnesota in the
anxiety of the Globe to boom Dewey as
the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent. There can be but one explana-
tion of the Globes anxiety for the NOM
ination of Dewey, and that is, it's de-
sire to see some candidate other than
Bryan. The Globe did not support
Bryan last time and cannot support
him next time without so stultifying
itself that it will lose the respect of
those who have supported it in the
past. Dewey cannot be the Demo-
cratic candidate because he isu not a
Democrat; but he is about as near be-
ing a Bryan Democrat as the Globe is.
What there is of Democracy in Mime
sota-that is the voting Democracy
is for Bryan, and would not vote for
Dewey if he were nominated. There
are few old-time, genuine Democrats
who don't believe ineBryanism, and
they might support Dewey, but the
dominant faction ef Democracy in this
State now, composed as it is of Popu-
lists, free silver Republicans, and
statesmen out Of jobs, will stand up
and holler for Bryan and anti-every.

EDITOR STANTON, of the Appleton
Press, writes his paper from San Fran
cisco, Tho grace with which the staff
rode their horses in the reviews was
worthy of special mention, the report
that none fell off is true" But the re-
port isn't 'tthat none fell off. The re-
port is that the stately Gen. John Lud-
wig, of Winona, separated himself
from his prancing steed at a critical
moment, and Jared the superficial

The trust question is one which
must be settled by intellig gent consider
alton and non-partisan, impartial, busi-
ness treatment. 1t is one which inter-
ests and deals with commercial inter-
ests solely. 1t cannot be reached, reg
ulated or controlled by the perfervid
oratory of screeching partisans or
braying demogogues. 1t is something
that must be figured out exactly as one
would sit down to figure out the chance
of profit or loss in any business invest
ment. AS long as there are condi-
tions which promise money-making by
the syndicate plans of the trust, there
will be found organizations of capital
to control prices by checking produce
tion. The worst thing that could hap
pen in the interests of the people
would be a purely political crusade
against the trusts without some INTEL
ligent and systematic course or treat
ment in view. Denunciation and
defamation count for nothing; the in
terests of the people will be conserved
only when a few influential men who
know something about business meth
ods get together, representing con-
gress and the various legislatures, and
agree upon some Intelligent action
directed to the regulation of trusts and
applied with the same intelligence and
discretion that are displayed by the
trusts in their methods of attaining
their objects. The trusts are success
full only as they are operated by men
OF Intelligence and good business judg-
ment. When we fight the devil we
must fight him with fire; when we
fight intelligence and good business
judgment we must fight it with the
same weapons. The trusts would ask
nothing better than the class Of fam
boyant denunciation that is being
hurled at them by the political demo
gogues OF the times, and would be able
to stand for that kind of opposition
forever. What the trusts dread and
what will ultimately crush. the trusts
is the same kind Of intelligent; organ.
ization by which the trusts themselves
were organized and promoted.

NOTHING would please the UNION
better than to know that the proposed
railroad from Milaca to Mile Laos
lake would materialize within six
months or year. That such a rail
road will be constructed at some time
in the future is altogether probable,
but we are afraid that future is quite
remote; at least that is the opinion of
those who ought to know best.

Is 1t not ra ther absurdHeven for the
Globe, for that rabid anti-expansion or
gan of Minnesota Democracy, to insist
on making Admiral Dewey it's candi-
date for the presidency? Dewey is re-
sponsible for the present situation, he
is the embodiment OF expansions; he is
the man who bagged the Philippin mes.
He is hardly the man to back out, to
turn the stern of his flagship to, the
enemy, to haul down his colors, to run
away, and he is not apt to go back on
