The state of Minnesota is about to lose
ex-senator Towne. We are sorry for this,
as Mr. Towne is a brilliant gentleman
and a good citizen Although we can not
always agree with mis- political PROPOSE
lions, we are sorry to have him pack his
grip and move out. We are inclined to
think, however, that in this contemplated
move to New York. Mr.. ToWne is show
ing the best Of judgment. His political
career has been exciting, but not profit
able in money sense. But while he has
not made fortune in the silver camp
he has accumulated a reputation and
name that he can coin into good gold
five-dollar pieces in the Eastern metrop-
oils. It is always better to become a
millionaire than to fight then-if you
can.
