paper trust, type trust and an ink

old fashioned kind Of "trusting," are
evidences that the printer 'has

New York Sun: It isn't mere curl
osity that is bringing big crowds to
the railroad stations through which
the presidents train passes on the
Western trip. The enthusiasm of the
people is uDmistaka BILE, and it is
the enthusiasm Of approval.
Kasson Republican,: Prosperity
seems to have struck everyone but
the printers. Many papers are now
being sold for less than the cost Of the
white paper, and it is Still advancing
at rate that makes the publishers
profits look like microbe.

Anoka Union: The rear of the new
capitol at St. Paul is even worse than
the Wabasha front. The marble is
so badly streaked with blue, as to al.
most obliterate the white, and for
this nasty colored stone, Minnesota 8
magnificent granite was cast aside.
Oh, what folly.
Northfeld News: It has been
printed that the Republican State
fro1
the basis OF representa- tion in the next
Republican convention shall be made
on the vote cast for Eustis for Govern
or last year. This seems to be fair
decision and it is to be hoped that it
! will be adhered TO.
Preston Times: In speaking of
Judge n. Kingsley we desire to say
that he is making a mighty good
judge. He Is young and vi9olous,
courteous and an indomita ble worker.
! His decisions are fair and no one
questions his judicial learning. Fill

Albert Lea Standard: Print paper
is rapidly advancing in value and as
result New York City papers find
that it costs them $4,000 day more
than rly to issue their publica-
tions. 1t also affects country publish
ers, and as the Mapleton Enterprise
correctly says, those who are trying
to run dollar year papers will find
their profits on the wrong SHE of the
ledger.

has sued the owner for damages for
personal injuries and for time lost in
Caring for the wound. Here's hoping
that he gets all he asks. There are
some people who think their dogs
have infinitely more right on public
highways than have peaceable pedes.

even enter protest.
Brooklyn Eagle: At the cele brations
in honor of Admiral Dewey the people
everywhere showed their respect for
Sampson and their love for Schley.
The newspapers everywhere have
sufficiently argued the comparative
claims OF either man. Each sheet has
stoutly enough and often enough
maintained its ground. The fact re-
mained that the people prefer aud
have an affection for Schley, while
nowhere showing any disrespect for
Sampson.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican: It
is surprising what a reduction in pri.
ces monopoly finds possible when
its power is threatened. The Eng.
lish National Telephone Company,
which is now to have competition. has
cut down its rates from $50 to $50 in
provincial cities to $l6 a year, with a
charge OF penny call. which, it is
