Towne are rusticating where the wicked
(polticians) cease from troubling, and
where the weary are at rest.

Indiana as all asylum for Republican
political murderers is a success. The
shielding Of Kentucky Taylor ought to
make the state certain for the Demo
Gratis, and such are our advices..
And speaking of the Phil ppines, how
different a situation we would be in had
we told the Filipinos to go ahead with
their independence, under our protec-
ton, we taking as they would have
been glad to have us do, whatever we
wanted for station. In the new Chinese
situation we would have had ships or
men. at hand, whereas few or no men
can safely be taken from the Philip
pines. But, best Of all, we should have
done right.
To date all that the goppite press has
the Republican secretary of state as to
foreign corporations not paying their
taxes is that some 60 companies have
been found in Governor Lind's list that
are not liable. Well, that leaves some
200 or more of the delinquents. What
is this Republican official going to do as
to those?
The repudiated St. Paul Republican
city administration died harder than
any one supposed. Comptroller Nc
Cardy has barely skinned in, by the
means of recount, often SO disrepu-
table, especially when>election machin-
cry is under careful guard Of the other
fellow, and the old chief of police, and
other heads of department., refuse to
surrender except as they are thrown
out Meanwhile Mayor Smith is par
suing the even tenor of his good old
Democratic ways greatly to the salts
faction Of the people.

Now that Mckinley ana Otis. have
snapped praises, let the Philippine war
20 on. But it is rather a dampener on
imperialism, that Otis praises the Fill
| pinos SO highly. That they learn Eng
fish with surprising rapidity, and are
eager for schools, lily agrees with the
estimates of Mckinley himself, of their
dense ignorance, their lacking in patri-
otto inspiration, and that they are not
qualified to be more than an abjeot peo-
pie. -.-s....ss. .z ..>
An important Development Of the
week is the attitude assumed BY the
heal Silver or Lincoln Republicans Of
Minneapolis, who through an author
lied committee announce that they join
the Democratic organization in fact, as
they have in reality acted during the
past four years. This will strengthen
the Democratic organization materially.
and It is well known that many Repub-
licans are leaving their party on other
issues than silver coinage, and viii g
to the Democrats. q. s. q.
