Uncle Loren Fletcher, after his coming
tussle with Judge CAVITY.
To encourage such promise of success
in Ohio, there is wide open bolt of
several prominent Republican leaders
from the Hanna-Cox bossism. When
such men as General John Beatty, life
long Republican, are out against the
Mckinley administration, there is hope
for the Democracy in Ohio.
The Republicans now say that an in
come tax will destroy the trusts and
that they will favor it, but in 1896 they
declared that supporters of the Chicago
platform were anarchists because it de-
Glazed for income taxation.
And the same as to government by in
junction. Now they condemn the
courts for upholding trusts in their de-
cisions. Republican consistency is not
of the "jewe" variety.
Merriam, Powers and Kenyon are at
the front to do the 'me and Mckinley"
work for Hanna in Minnesota next
year. This is rough on "Lieutenant
Commander" Tim Byrnes.
When Republican papers leave State
Printer Expert Colonel Whitney out of
the count of candidates for Secretary Of
State it simply proves that Republics
are ungrateful."
Of course when the ink trust begins
operations in Minnesota the Republican
Attorney General will but need to wave
a copy of the Tawney antitrust law
and say ''Out damned spot" and the
trust will "out.''
Judging from past generations of
state Republican blunders, the Grand
Rapids Magnet (Rep.) declares that the
late legislature should have created the
office of official explainer.
The Honorable Chauncey Despew.
United States Senator and LII. D., from
his Lunnun view of American politics
sees German the Democratic candidate
and Bryan shelved. Depfew!
Ex-Commander Paul Vandervoort of
the G. A. R. has offered to raise a colony
of old soldiers to settle in our foreign
possessions" if the government will
distribute the $3,OOO,O00 of Cuban
money among the colonists instead Of
the Cuban soldiers. A similar idea is
offered by Major Hotchkiss of the Pres
ton Republican, that the $50, 0O0, 900 of
Philippine purchase money had better
been distributed among the Filipinos.
The national bank statement shows
that from Feb. to April 5 loans in
creased but $l04, 1868, 600, while deposits
increased 500, 1000 600. Since May, 1898,
loans have increased 1906, 100000 and
deposits increased $43S, 600, 900.
The aggregate of the deposits piled
up in banks, given by the report men,
toned, is $500, 100000, bringing little
or no interest. If this enormous sum is
tout Of business" how much money is
actually in "circulation?''
Oh, yes, there is "plenty of money"
No need OF more, and especially no
need of free coinage. And yet the Nc
plan is to authorize the
national banks to issue 10 per cent
more-the full value of their bonds
held for circulation.
The gold market has again reached
the export mark, and the anticipated
exports have commenced. Of course,
this is independent of the millions
taken over by American nabobs like
Chauncey Despew.
Suppress the state dairy and food de-
partment! Now it has jumped on the
big packers, Swift. Armor and Cudahy,
for selling adulterated lard under I'M
lawful labels. All are being prose-
cuted. Also, the department prosecuted
the American Biscuit company for the
same offense, causing fine of $25 to be
paid, and securing the assurance of the
company that the law would not again
be violated. That's what comes of hav-
ing department differed by men Of
the right kind of stamina.
Adjutant General Lambert has not
completed the organization of the gov
ernor's staff as yet. Nearly a dozen ap-
pointments remain to be made. The
annual encampment opens next week at
Lake City.
The candid statement of the Twin
City business situation is that the
"bulge'' in April and May, caused by
the sudden bursting of delayed winter,
is over. Collections are "hard," and
margins closer than ever.
In all office situations there are many
more applicants for places than men
wanted. The scarcity of men for ordi-
nary labor is over. The latter demand
has In some part been filled by men in
higher employment forced out of places.
Up to this time Mayor Gray of Min
neapolis has been engaged in cleaning
out the old 'stiffs" in the municipal
back yard and they lay several deep.
But Mayor Jim will get there.
There is no longer doubt but that
Senator Knute Nelson has arrayed
against him the whole power of Henne-
pin county. The combination which by
the appointment of Steve Lovejoy as
postmaster would keep Fletcher and his
friends in line for Nelson has appar-
emily failed.
Charley Pillsbury, the Minneapolis
flour king, is to be the anti-Nelson cam
didate, provided present plans do not
miscarry. It is the outlook now that
Nelson must face solid opposition from
