JANUARY 1, 1900!
And the Outlook for Victory, State and
National.
Reform Press Bureau,

ST Paul, Jan. 1, 1000.
Happy New Year to all! With a
hope for the dawn OF better things for
the republic than foreign conquest and
surrender to the money power, in the
opening OF another decade and anoth-
or century.
A good enough New Years gilt to
the state is peoples railway and ware
house commission, made SO by the APP
pointment OF Hon. T. ]. Knox OF Jack
son to succeed Judge Mills. Thus for
the first time since Gov. Lind's inaug-
uration the grain and warehouse man
agcment has majority in full sympa-
thy with the forces which called Gov.
Lind to power. During a whole year
Gov. Lind has been absolutely power
less to enforce reforms.
Now that it is conceded on all sides
that the new century does not begin
until Jan. I, 1901, how glad we are that
we have not mingled with the discus
sion, and that on the Oath day OF the
bran new century Bryan will be in
stalled in the White Housed
Decidedly the political event OF the
week has been the inspiring presence OF
our great head of the Democratic ma
tional committee, Senator James K.
Jones OF Arkansas. He, with cx-Vice
President Gen. Stevenson OF Illinois,
and the distinguished Gen. Watt Hardin
OF Kentucky, met with a goodly COM
pany OF Twin City Democrats and other
members of the reform forces at Demo
cratic headquarters, the Merchants ho-
tel, St. Paul, the day following Christ
mas, number from outside places
CHANGING to be present. The result
was large chunks OF inspiration for the
state forces OF reform, while the dis
tnguished visitors took with them to
their different fields good impression
OF the forward state OF organization in
the North Star state, and a high opin-
ion of the men charged with the peo
pies affairs under the administration OF
Gov. Lind and the future success pre-
saged at their hands.
1t was learned from Senator Jones
that all sections OF the country are as
nearly unanimous in sympathy with the
Beers as he finds them in the North
west. Also, that the quickened Ameri-
can conscience is rapidly seeing that
the same principles are involved i'll the
Mckinley war on the Filipinos as
Great Britain's war on the South Afri-
can republics.
And so we saIated the flag Of the Fill
ipino republic, did we, before we fired
upon it? So the record seems to Be.
What infamy! ....
! The annual meeting of the state edit
cators at St. Paul was under circum-
stances Of unusual interest and profit,
TIE sentiment abounsled that Supt.
Lewis is giving the people a mighty
coed administration OF dle educational
department. The numerous improve
mc,u 5 lie T1as accomplished and tito I'M
firing energy in the discharge OF duty,
as wea as the ability OF the corps by
which lie has surrounded himself, were
highly commended.
