DAVIS RENOMINATED.

The ac'i ion of the Republican legisla-
tive caucus at st Paul last evening in
unanimously renominating Senator
Cushman K. Davis to succeed himself,
was foregone conclusion, and is but
the carrying out of not only the desires
of the Republicans of the state, but
of thousands of others who have closely
watched his career and take pride in
che reputation he has earned for him
self and the state,
Senator Davis stands as one Of the
leaders in the senate today, and one of
the foremost statesmen of the nation.
And we do not use this word statesman
in the sense it is often used, as applied
to every pol tici who happens to get
into prominent place, but in it's true
sense of man who has made thor
ough and profound study of the science
of government. fully understanding its
principles and whose mind is gifted
with the faculty of looking ahead and
reading well the effect of mat ers per-
tanning to government upon the future.
Such a man is Cushman K. Davis. Dur
ing the nearly twelve years he has
served in the senate he has grown to be
a power there To discard his services
at this time would be not only mis-
fortune to the state, but to the nation
as well. At this critical period in the
nations history he is the kind of man
that is wanted in the nations councils.
This fact is emphasized by his work
during the last ten months. All of his

list having been sworn in, and is
the second governor other than a Re
publican that has occupied the execu-
tive chair of the state, the other in
stance being the first governor of the
state, Henry Il. Sibley. While Gov
Lind can make clean sweep as far as
the officials are concerned that come
within his appointive powers, he finds
himself confronted by a Republican
legislature with the largest majority
that party ever had in that body, and
the state will be treated to.the scene of
legislature and governor of different
political bearings working within the
same traces

SHOULD BE ADOPTED.

Senator Nelson has offered an amend
m ent to the postoffice appropriation bill
providing that the government in print
ing return cards and envelops to be
sold to the public, shall not print on
such envelopes the name of any indi
vidual, firm or corporation. This is an
amendment that ought to be adopted
The government has been engaged in
the work of doing this printing free for
a number of years back and it is timeit
ought to be stopped, There is no more
reason why the government should en-
gage in the work of furnishing this
printed matter free to the people who
use envelopes, than there is for it to en-
gage in the business of furnishing free
tea, coffee sugar or dress goods t. those
who buy postage stamps or money or
ders. And yet it would be just as sen
sible to do the latter as it is for the gov
eminent to engage in the former as it
is now doing at the expense of the
printers ali over the country. 1t is to
be hoped that Senator Nelson will press
this matter in his usual aggressive way
so that it will command the attention
of the senate, so that body may realize
the injustice of the present system and
abolish it entirely and put an end to an
unjust discrimination against the
printers.

The state legislature met last Tuesday
and organized ready for business. 1t is
well differed in both branches and all
indications point to a busy and i'm
portant session The disposition of
the leaders in both houses is to make it
a business session. There are a num-
Der of important matters to come up,
among which, from the action of the
house Republican caucus, is an investi-
cation of the charges against the grain
inspection department, and it is posi-
BILE that important legislation may fol-
low this. Doubtless legislation will
also be enacted abolishing the fee sys-
tenn and putting several important
offices, such as oil inspector, on the sal
aried list, though this may not be made
to go into effect until 1900

At the caucus of the Republicans of
the lower house of the legislature Mon
day night, Representative Jacobson in
PRODUCED resolution which was unani-
mo sly adopted, calling for thorough
investigation of the charges against the
grain inspection department, and the
state prison management, especially as
relates to the Irvine plant and the sale
of Irvine. This m,ve effectually 81
lences the charge of the opposition that
no move would be made by the Repub-
licans along this line, because they did
not dare to. Specific charges have been
made against these departments, and
the parties who made them should be
given the chance to lodge their testi-
mony where it will be effective in open
ing the way for correcting the evils
complained of, if they are found to
exist.

Among the bills introduced in the
legislature Thursday, was one for the
purpose of carrying out Gov Lind's
suggestion regarding a revision OF the
laws touching taxes and corporations.
AS it would be manifestly impossible
for a thorough and comprehensive re
vision of these laws during brief SEES
sion of the legislature, the bill provides
for a commission to make such revis-
ion. The bill does not provide for the
commission to report to this legislature,
though it is hoped it may be able to do
so, but it is questionable whether it
would be able to make report in time
to secure suitable legislation thereon
A bill has also been introduced in the
house providing for primary elections.
Also bill providing for the infection
of the death penalty at the state prison
at Saltwater by electrocution Another
important house bill is for the purpose
of regulating the sale of binding Irvine
at the prison Irvine plant. Among other
things it limits the sales of Irvine to
wholesalers and jobbers to %, OOOpounds

said party be allowed to charge profit

MAKE THEM ELECTIVE.

The Minneapolis Journal in a review
OF the questions that will come before
the legislature this winter, says an eff
Ior5 will be made to make the dairy
commissioner elective, instead of an APP
pointment of the governor. 1t might
make an improvement in that line, if
conventions would do as the governor
ought to do, pick out man well versed
iii dairy matters for the position. But
whatever is done in this matter, there
is one change that ought to be made by
the legislature this winter, and that is
elective by the people. This plan works
well in neighboring states where it is
in operation and is much more satisfac-
tory to the people. Under the appoint
ment plan there is always more or less
charge than certain elements enter into
the appointment which operate against
The administration of the affairs of the
office in the interest of the people And
at is true that as these appointments are
made by the governor and they being
accountable to him, they are more
likely to conduct the office to please ele-
ments that hold influence with the gov
ernor than they are to conduct t in the
interest of the people. This is no worse
under one administration than it is I'M
der another. When the matter was be-
fore the legislature two years ago, the
Free Press advocated the enactment of
the bill and held that while the change
would probably not secure any better
men for the place then has been the
case by appointment, the incumbents
would be responsible to the people, and
the conduct of the Office was likely to
be more satisfactory to all concerned
The Free Press also suggested at that
time that the scope of the bill be wild
ened so as to include the superintendent
of public instruction. insurance COM
missioner and dairy commissioner All
of these positions are of more import
ance than that of clerk of supreme

Advice to Patrons.

A circular which the Cawker Cream
cry Company of Cawker, Kan sent to
it's patrons contained the following:
A good dairy cow properly fed and
cared for is a milk producing and
money making machine The farmer
needs constant income, and the cow,
with proper treatment, will furnish
that income. The bugs may destroy
the wheat and the hot winds may burn
up the corn, but there is probably no
year so unreasonable but that plenty
of feed can be procured for the COW.
From this time on it will pay the far
mer to have his cows fed more than
they can set from dry pasture. Much
of the corn this year will yield but
little if allowed to mature. but if cut
and fed to the cows as fodder it will
bring good returns to the owner. Try
this for ten days and note the increase
in the flow of milk. 1t will help to
keep up the milk during the fall and
winter This is the time to prepare for
winter milk. When butter is selling
for Csc per pound, some will wonder
why their cows are dry. Fresh, pure
water, grass, with fodder and a little
grain are what the COWS need now.

GOV. LIND.

John Lind took the oath of Office last
Wednesday and isnow governor OF Min
nesota. The Free Press opposed Mr.. Lind
for governor because the fusion ideas he
represented were not in accord with
the political principles that it believes
in. But that is neither here nor there.
Mr.. Lind is now governor by the will
of the people, and the Free Press wishes
him most successful and prosperous
Gministration, and hopes that during
the two years he occupies the executive
chair that the interests of the state will
be materially advanced. In his mes
sage which appears elsewhere this
evening he makes suggestions regard
ing taxation which merit the careful
consideration of the legislature. He
also touches upon railroad taxation and
Transportation. the former which he
thinks is too low and the latter too
high. In the treatment of the insane
he favors the Wisconsin plan, which
t he Free Press has favored for the past
two years. He also endorses Auditor
Dunn's recommendation for board of
control for state institutions, and also
recommends that the offices of clerk of
supreme court, oil inspector, surveyors
general of logs be placed upon the sal
aried list and the fees turned into the
state treasury. He further recon-
m ends that the acceptance of passes by
public officials be made illegal. AS a
matter of course he. favors the adop-
ton of the initiative and referendum.
These cover the important features
of the governors message and the legis-
lature will do well to give them care
full consideration. We believe it is
Gov. Lind's sincere desire to give the
people of the state clean, honest ad-
m inistration and the Republican major
ty in the legislature will gain nothing
by turning down practical suggestions
hemay make simply because they come
from one who represents the opposition
party of the state. Nearly all of the
leading recommendations which he
makes have been advocated by the
Republicans and it will be to the bene-
fit of the party to go ahead and enact
suitable measures regarding them.
Such position will greatly strengthen
3Ia party and make it invincible in
1900.

court, which is elective. On the whole
the filing of these places would be much
more satisfactory to the people if they
had the say-so in the matter, and we
believe that the conduct of them
would also be more satisfactory in
the end. The excuse that they should
not be made political is poor one.
They would be no more political by
election than by appointment. A gov
ernor fills them according to hispolitical
belief with hardly an exception. Where
in is it worse for the people?

THE PRESIDENTS PLAN.

Washington Correspondent Curtis, OF
the Chicago Record, who probably
stands in as good position to become
Informed as to President McKinleys
ideas upon any publ C question as any
writer at the capital city, gives what
he claims is the presidents plan for a
government in the Philippines, of
which the following is brief synopsis
as Curtis gives it:
ut resembles that which he is said to
have arranged for Cuba-a liberal al
1owance of home rule so far as he can
find competent natives to administer
affairs finance, the commerce, the
customs, the schools, public works and
the general direction of things to be in
the hands OF Americans of experience.
The tariff will be for revenue only, and
will be arranged to produce sufficient
amount to maintain the government
and the schools and provide for a gen
eral system of public works which will
aid in the development of the wealth
and commerce of the country,
The military forces are to be a mix
ture of Americans and natives under
the command of American officers I'M
til the natives can be properly educated
to fill their places. The postofices will
be under the direction of trained men
from the United States, but so far as
possible the subordinates will be Phil
ipinos, A good deal of money will be
spent in providing coaling and naval
repair stations, which will be fitted up
with the most approved machinery,
similar to the navy yard at San Fran
cisco.
In the customs duties no advantage
will be given to merchandise from the
United States at present-not until
congress shall act upon the subject;
nor will the president favor any change
in our tariff laws so far as they affect
the products of the Philippine islands
1t is expected that the immigration of
Filipinos to the United States will fol-
low the establishment of a colonial
government and will have to be regu-
lated, but he will not recommend any
immediate legislation on the subject.
He thinks it would be wise to postpone
action in all matters until we know
better what is needed and what is
practical In other words, the presi-
dent takes the ground that neither he
nor congress is competent at this time
to solve the Philippine problem, and he
is willing to await developments.
While he has reached no decision and
will make no recommendation on the
subject, it is believed that sooner or
later the president will recommend
that the $50, COO,OO indemnity which
has been paid to Spain shall ultimately
be charged against the Filipinos and
both tha interest and nrinciDa1 Daid
from their revenues. He does not
think it should be charge against the
people of the United States, although,
as in all other matters, he reserves the
right to change his mind on this one.
