NOTES AND COMMENT.

NOTES AND COMMENT.
The editor of the Murdock Review
gives notice in his editorial column
that anyone furnishing him any liquor
in the future will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. The person
who will disregard this manly and
straight forward request ought to be
prosecuted. "Woe unto him by whom
offences come"
ECHO ANSWERS WHO.
Farmers Leader;
Who is ashamed to say ~ voted
for John Lind?"
The Lakeside Press of Glenwood
has been enlarged to six-column
quarto, and an increase of home print
ed matter is furnished. The Press has
a healthy as we'll as neat appear ance.

THE GLOBE IS MINNESOTA DEMoC-
RACY-NIT.
The St. Paul Globe, organ of the
Democracy in this state, says the vote
of the 'allied" forces was given to
Charlie Towne because some of the
populists asked it on the ground that
in case of the death of Senator Davis
Governor Lind would know that
Towne was the choice of the "united"
forces. After giving this as the rea-
son for voting for Towne, the Globe
exclaims, Long live G. K. Davis!"
which shows democracy's real feeling
| toward The Towne wing of the ''united"
forces.

TERRIBLE THREAT
Waverly Tribune:
An anonymous letter writer has
threatened to kill Mark Hanna. It is
hoped the wheels of our government
may never be blocked in that tragic
manner.

DEFENDED THE CORPORATION TOOL.
About four years since, Mr.. Davis
appeared as counsel for the Great
Northern in it's efforts to control and
operate the Northern Pacific, and was
severely censured by the state press.
In our paper the Atwater Republican,
We defended his position and resented
the ''corporation tool" slurs. and in
return were neatly roasted, and told
that "Davis could not be elected to
anything hereafter We now take
pleasure in saluting the false prophets

ct al. You've all got another guess
coming, boys, and we hope you'll ge,
nearer the truth next time.-Annan.
dale Advocate.
Bro. Satterlee is welcome to all the
glory he may receive for defending a
man in hiring out to do work in the
interests of monopoly while in the pay
Of the people as law-maker. We
were mistaken in our prophecy because
such newspapers as the Advocate mis-
lead the people to believe such actions
as above cited make great statesman.

A goldbug exchange suggests Davis
and Hanna as the proper persons to
head the National Republican ticket
two years hence. They forget that the
only well-defned policy of the present
administration is the desire to sue
ceed itself.

| THE REFERENDUM
Farmers Leader:
We fondly hope to see Minnesota
like our sister state, South Dakota,
adopt the initiative and referendum
and are glad to see it supported by
Gov. Lind.

"Johnson's breeches'' was the Span

officers nonplussed the Americans by
asking the reason for that shout every
time they charged.
