fully accord credit to those to whom it
is due-the statesmen of the Republican
party.
"Man first, property afterward."
That was one of the principles upon
which the Republicanism of Lincoln
was grounded. property first, man
afterward" threatens to be the rock
upon which the party of Hanna will 90
to pieces.
Very great interest is felt, especially
among old soldier Republicans, in the
Hanna fight on Foraker in Ohio. The
pension administration of Mckinley has
completely sickened the said old SOL
diers, and this onslaught on Foraker
adds to their disgust. The Hannaites
will marshall mighty few of them, in
Minnesota, next year on the present
outlook Captain Van SAINT should
make a note of this,
And speaking of pension matters
Congressman Fletcher of Hennepin,
who has always prided himself on his
pension pull" is said to have given up
the fight, admitting that he is able to
get no consideration at all from Nc
Kinley's pension Mikado, one Henry
Clay Emptin's.
Kentucky leads off for Bryan, free
coinage, anti-imperialism and anti
trusts, and with Goebel-er as the can
didate for Governor. This programme
will undoubtedly Goebel the persim-

The shot that Governor Lind fred on
Republican criticism of his veto OF the
railroad and warehouse bill has been al
most sensational in it's effects. There
has been more g. O. p. mouthing over
that veto than any Of Mr.. Lind's acts
since he was installed as Governor.
Senator Miller of the Luverne Herald,
author OF the vetoed bill, led the way,
and what he did not originally suggest
by way of charges and inuendo was
rapidly supplied by his exchanges.
Time after time this Bureau was iabbed
at as to why it did not explain the veto,
etc. This had been done in substance
at the time and after, but in the mean
time Governor Lind was simply giving
his assailants more rope" Then when
time and opportunity presented he
responded with the broadside which
has been so widely published. Senator
Miller retracted, and with the retrac-
tion which the governor orsoperemptorily so
demanded, makes the statement that
he, the senator, was not the author of
the bill, but that it was drawn b. tie
Republican member of the grain and
warehouse commission, Judge Mills.
AS Governor Lind shows that the meas.
ure is directly in the interests of the
railroad companies themselves, and
clearly a "woodchuck," it is in order
for Judge Mills and Senator Mi Ter, as
Governor Lind demands of the latter,
to explain where the thing came from
anyhow. At any rate it is good place
to leave the bill, Senate File "A, be-
tween these two Republican state Off
cials. And we will see them all later.
After all the Mcintyre -four trust
is go In Minneapolis, Mcintyre hav-
ing secured several of the mills, enough
for a neuclus, and the rest will come
duly. Now watch Attorney General
Douglass ''go for 'em," under the Taw-
ney law.
The retirement of Executive Clerk
Hon. w. H. Angel from the state CAPT.
tol is a change under Governor Lind
concerning which only the most pleas
ant things are to be said. Mr.. Angel
has faithfully served through several
administrations, and Governor Lind had
no desire for any change, but Mr.. An
gell resigned to accept Federal posi-
tion in the Cherokee Nation with Com
missioner Tams Bixby. All who know
him, and the number in this state is le-
gion, follow him with good wishes.
1t is believed that Governor Lind has
made an equally valuable selection in
Mr.. Angells successor, Hon. Eugene
Rice Of Owatonna, but who has for
some time resided in St. Paul.
From the moment of his return
Menage held receptions to his friends in
Mr.. Lowrys Guaranty Loan building.
which Menage built with other peoples
money, Joe Mannix, former private
secretary to Director Eustis when the
latter was Mayor of Minneapolis, writes
in the Pioneer Press that Menage is
back on account Of representations of
friends that there was little danger of
prosecution, and Mr. Mannix says that
there seems to be very little sentiment
against the man; that to go into the
case now would be unpleasant to prom
inent men formerly associated with
Menage. In fact, it is dollars to dough
nuts that he will never be tried at all,
much less tried and given merited pun.

The names of those attending the
Menage receptions at Minneapolis do
not seem to include such Guaranty
Loan victims as Bank of Zumbrota de-
positors, Banker Scanlon of Lanesboro,
Editor Wall of Ortonville, nor the Ver-
mont colony? What's the matter. Were
