is the amount paid out in 1898 and 1896
for services Of pro TEN. district attor-

on this account in 1895. In 1896 the

The presents sent to Queen Victoria
on her eighteth birthday almost equal
those of the last jubilee. The most
magnificent came from Indian princes,
who have of late sought every oppor-
tuuity of exhibiting their loyalty.
Those include many rich specimens of
Oriental and lacquer work-so many,
indeed, as to he almost embarrassing
to the officials at Windsor. The latter
have had hard work in arranging the
gifts, which may be put on public exhi-
biuon later on.

without making any devise of his es-
tate, which was sold by the "escheator
general of the State, and the pro-

Among the ancient records so care
fully preserved in the Office of the

Will Uhange Their Tune

| - < =
The republican papers have often ac-
cused the populist and democratic pa
pers Of the state of going too far in their
criticisms of the public acts of republic
can officials in the past. But when was
there anything like the present torrent
of abuse directed against Gov. Lind by
the republican press, from the big dali
les down to the smallest backWoods
sheet. If this criticism was confined to
official acts which in any way have any
bearing upon the government of the
state it might be excused; but as it is,
everything he does, be it Of a public Or
private nature, is misconstrued and
strained into an unfayorable light. And
yet there are but few persons in the sta
that do not know that Gov. Lind is put
ting up G clean and strong administra-
ton; that he is in close touch with the
common people of the state, and is fight
ing their battles against organized greed
and corruption in the face Of the great
est kind of odds. Standing entirely a.
lone he has accomplished much in the
way of reform, thanks to his splendid
ability, his unimpeachable honesty, and
,ndomitable will power. A year ago the
republican press were agreed that Gov.
Lind could accomplish nothing, as he
had hostile legislature to contend with,
and all the other state officials were re-
publicans; but now they are running for
cover, and are even trying to unload the
mistakes of the Legislature and the re-
publican boards onto the governor.
These things all of the reading public
know, and no amount of blank fire noise
will fool them. When Gov. Lind pre-
sents his case at the close of his term,
showing the condition of affairs as he
found them, no amount of tommy-rot
and abuse wall avail to hide the issue.
1t ssill be as clear as sunlight. We have
had some inkling of what tie governor
has had to contend with and what he has
found. When the time comes for choice
to be made again there will not be the
slightest chance for honest. and fair vot-
er to MAKE a mistake. He will then
know what he heretofore has only been
able to surmise. He will have to choose
between going forward or backwards;
and on such ali issue the people of Min
nesota will not turn about when thew
once have placed their hands to the
plow.-Willmar Tribune.

THE CoMPANIoN's New CALENDAR.

The Yonth's Companion Calendar for

design. The oval centerpiece, in high
scolors and enclosed in a border Of How-
ers, represents "a Dream Of Summer
and is supported on either side BY an
admlrably executed fgur, piece in deli
cate tints. The whole is delightful in
sentiment and in general effect. Larger
than any 81 the Companions previous
Calendars, it IS equally acceptable as a
work of art. AS an ornament to the
home il will take q preeminent place.
The Calendar IS published exclusively

Hawaiian "Americans."

The expected has happened. A native
Hawaiian has been permitted to land in
New York, arriving by way of London
on the ground that he is an American
citizen. =
This is exactly what we have long as
serted would be the result of annexing
Hawaii. .
There are $4,000 cinnamon in Hawaii,
and as soon as they understand that the
island is part of this country they will
begin to swarm over to the Pacific coast.
Pauper labor will be imported to the
states to compete with the workingmen
who are now employed at starvation
wages and the results are too distressing
to contemplate. ~.
But that is not the worst of it. With
the Philippines part of this nation, the
lowest priced laborers in the world will
be brought here. -
Of this there can be no doubt, for cap
ltal is ever anxious to reduce the expen-
penses of production and the starvation
wages paid foreign coal miners in the
east prove this assertion. 5.
If the imperialists could get their Wis
ions of glory out of their heads and
come down to serious consideration OF
the results which must follow their ruin.
Gus policy some hope might be had Of
the republican party.
But such thing is out of the ques.
ton and the only salvation for the PEG.
pie lies in the democratic party. Chica.

Speaking thus far in advance of the
nominating convention, when al! politi-
cal prophecies are as unstable as dew in
summer heat, it would seem that the
coming gubernatorial campaign would
be more personal than political, so far at
at least as our friends, the enemy, are
concerned. Had it not been for Col.
Pope and his alleged 8 Misrepresentation
of $500 of the funds of the Mankato
public library it is hard to say what the
Republican Press would have nomina-
ted as the head and front of Gov. Lind's
offending. The hysterical attack upon
the grain inspection department has
gone a-glimmeling for the reason that
it had no foundation in fact. The gov
crnor's socalled slight or disrepect shown
President Mckinley upon the occasion
of his visit to this state has lost it poten-
CIV as a war cry. In point of fact the
present administration will 90 down into
history as being fully as business like
and conservative as any the state has ever
had and 1T is perhaps fortunate for the
Republican politician that the Pope
matter was unearthed, thereby giving
them al least one argument that may be
available in the free for all fight against
John Lind but 1t is possibly equally un:
fortunate for said r.zd's. that John Lind
will be the candidate Tor governor Instead
Of Col. Pope. q

From figures covering 81 towns and
ID counties of this state recently gath
cred by the labor bureau in the second
inspection district the returns deal with
1862 workers in S43 shops, 1850 being
men, ia women, eight boys and no
girls. The majority of the workers in
the district covered were getting wages
at about $3.50 per day. OF the male
employees SIX per cent get less than S.
week, 80 per cent from IS to so a
week, 25.6 per cent SO to $40 per week,
or 63.5 per cent working for less So per
day.
The St. Louis Globe Democrat, which
by the way is one of the strongest Re
publican Administration newspapers in
the country, maintains that the march
Of events in the Philippines has fully
indicated Gen. Otis and that his en-
emies have been rebuked and their
charges reduced to absurdities. 1t also
claims that the attack upon him has
been largely partisan for the express
purpose of weaking the administration.
The Globe Democrat has evidently not
acquired the habit of reading the editor
lal columns of the Minneapolis Tribune.
The definite announcement made by
Gov. Lind that he proposes to adhere to
the socalled merit system in the states
civil service to reasonable degree, but
not absolutely, has more tie semblance
of honesty than have the professions of
his predecessors in office. "It should be
treated" Says the governor" as bust
ness proposition. In places that require
special qualifications, long training,yea1s
of experience, no changes will he made
but for cause. But in places that can be
filled by one man of average intelligence
and skill as was another, seeing that the
places heretofore have all been filled by
appointment from one party-thsre have
changer, and from time to time there
will be changes, having consideration for
the circumstances of individuals.
ssThat is not only at Saltwater, but in
every branch of the state service. 1t will
be carried to such an extent that at the
end Of my term there will not be such
a disproportion in the complexion of the
Office holders as there was at the begin
ming. -.
