ST. PAUL, Sept. ~. 1900.
The chairman Of the Republican
state committee has announced that the
Republican press bureau has received
instructions not to indulge in PERSONAL
ities or mud singing attacks on Gov.
ernor Lind. There is good reason for
j., too. After getting their guns ready
the Republican managers made the
discovery that they had no ammuni.
tion, and 80 they have wisely decided
that they will not shoot. They claim
to have other reasons, also, but the one
mentioned is entirely sufficient There
is story that the people Of certain
Swedish village failed to have royal
salute fired on one occasion when the
village was visited by the king. The
mayor offered an apology, saying that
there were fourteen reasons why the
salute had not been fired, the first of
which was that the village had no can.
non. ''Stop right there said the
king" that one reason IS sufficient;
you don't need thirteen more.'
The Goodhue County News thinks it
is pity that Governor Lind and Van
SAINT cannot both be elected. If they
could everything would be lovely.
Governor Lind could look after the
interests of the state as he has been
doing without interfering with his
colleague, who never bothered his
head about the interests of the state,
and invariably forgot to vote when
come interest of tho state was involved
while he was member of the house.
And Governor Van SAINT could con-
tinue to go up and down the state
shaking hands as he has done for the
last two years.
Butthe constitution and bylaws un-
fortunately provide for only one
governor.
And the people will prefer the one
who is carefully informed Of every
detail OF the states business, cordially
in sympathy with every purpose Of the
people, unwearyingly jealous for what
Is just and right.

everybody and be the genial, jolly good
fellow that everybody likes, whom
everybody wishes we'll.
1t seems that Congressman Eddy of
the Seventh Minnesota district is pin.

madam and English.born voters. He
thinks that they will, as matter of
course, vote the Republican ticket this
year. Maybe so. According to a re-
port from Mr.. Eddy to Chairman Bah.
cock of the Republican congressional
committee, as wired from Chicago to
the Minneapolis Tribune, there are
$4,000 Canadian voters in the state, and
many English-born citizens who have
heretofore voted the Democratic ticket
for the sake Of free trade, but who will
support the Republican party this year
because the Democrats sympathize with
the Beers Then, there is the further
reason, also, that Mckinley and his
secretary OF state, Hay, have in many
ways shown desire to "loaf around
the throne" So Mr.. Eddy hopes to
get the votes of those who by reason of
early training and traditions may be
supposed to look with fondness on
possible alliance between the United
States and England, don't you know.
1t is more than likely that even as re-
CARDS the Canadian and English-born
citizens MIR. Eddy reckons without his
host. But his open Irritation with them
will not b. relished by the other citl-
zens, who do not believe in s:i alliance
with England, but who want American
ideas to obtain in this land OF ours.

found it. In letter to the Willmar

which he regards as unanswerable:
''Not far from the shores of beautiful
Green lake, in section I, town of Har-
rison, lies the farm formerly owned by
N. P. Aspinwall, and comprising 234
acres. He offered it for sale for long
time owing to i'll health, but during the
Cleveland regime nary a buyer ap-
peared. Three years ago he sold it to a
party who, owing to reasons need not

sold it in the spring of 1898 to Hans
Dahl, one Of the most prosperous farm

Now, after possession of less than
two years and after taking two crops
off it, Mr.. Dahl has sold the farm for
$1,000, or $29.9l per acre. Here, Mr..
