CHARLEY TOWNE has again been
eating something that didn't agree
with him, and has had a horrible
nightmare. He dreamed that Presi-
dent Mckinley and Mark Hanna had
entered into a conspiracy to set up
monarchy in the ranks of this repub-
lican government, which they had just
about finally demolished. Now there
is nothing mean about Charley, and
thinking that this awful nightmare
was too good a thing to keep he
promptly went right out and put it in
the papers, and talked about it, ripped
and ranted and snorted around: until
he made himself believe that he had
not dreamed it, but in reality and
truth had seen it.. Really Charley
should be more careful about what he
eats; he has abused himself terribly
in the last few years, tearing around
at the pace that kills, making speeches
in favor of things that he doesn't be-
lieve, and against things that he doe!
believe in and all that sort of thing
and he can't stand it much longer. HI
should rest his stomach, his mouth ant
his brain and get back into his former
condition. e.. 49,, =. T.

TT is now being ''explained" on be-
half of the governor that when he rose
in that anti-imperialist meeting in
Minneapolis the other night and ex-
pressed his ''extreme pleasure" with
the "patriotic sentiments" there ex-
pressed, he did not know that the
opening prayer had been one of petit
ton to the great white throne that the
Filipino rebels might be successful,
and the American soldiers defeated in
the Philippine war. This is what
Gov. Lind gets for not being in at
prayers. A man who would indorse
speeches that he had not heard or
prayers to which he had not listened,
is the kind of fellow who would sign
a lightning rod agents notes without
looking at the foreclosure clause.
Hereafter the governor should get
around promptly at prayer time when
he attends an anti-imperialist meeting.

GEN. SIR REDVERS has repeated tn,

GEN. SIR REDvERs has repeated the
experience of another famous English
general who marched thousand men
up hill and marched them down again.
The titled commander of the English
army has made his boast that he would
eat his Christmas dinner in Pretoria.
Paul Kruger's friends met him on the
threshold of the Transvaal, and
showed him that it would be more by
good fortune than by fighting if he
failed to eat his Christmas dinner in a
warmer climate than South Africa.
The English commanders have found
that bluff and buster, nor even Brit.
ish bulldog fighting can make them
hold their own against the farmer
soldiers of the South African republic
and before the end shall come, Eng
land will spend in blood and money
more than the worth of the whole con
tinent of Africa.

THE next thing to experience pre-
cipitate boost in price will probably be
flour. We notice that a number of
mills belonging to the Mcintyre trust
have shut down, and the only explana-
ton that presents itself is the desire
to create shortage as an excuse for
advancing the price. A few of the
Minneapolis papers told us that when
the Mcintyre trust was formed it's OBJ
jects were>of the most philanthropic
and humanitarian character and that
the, good results, would soon pe expert
enced by the people of the northwest.
With every other line of manufactur-
ing employing all it's facilities and
with an increased demand for every
production, the only explanation we
can see of this shut down is that the
trust wants pretext for advancing
prices and purposes to furnish it by
diminishing the visible supply. When
you catch a trust doing anything out
OF desire to accommodate and benefit
the public, it is about time to rig ur
the belfry and ring the chimes for the
general resurrection. y. 81

IT is now claimed that Vice-Presi-

much indulgence of his stomach
fact that he died of over-eating. Well,
this is a Republican administration;
we are. having Republican times and.

the fashion Of over-eating. This is a
bad fashion and one which is particu-
larly prevalent in the Republican adj
ministrations. Now take it during
one of Grover Cleveland's administra-

anything of people dying of over-eat-
ing, at least not the common people.

SIMULTANEOUS DISCOVERIES.
Some years ago a young man named
Towne represented this district in con-
gress and the Duluth Evening Herald
hasn't gotten over it yet. Everything
beneficial to the district in the way of
national legislation the free silver

the Republican party's efforts in be-
half of the people are dwarfed beside
those of Chawles'., A peculiar thing
about it is that the Herald did not dis
} cover what an intelligent and influen
