-ss WHYTHEY'RE UNPOPULAR. tzs:5
The officers OF the regular army are
growing unpopular with the people.
They: have displayed too much jeal-
ousy; jealousy between themselves and
jealousy towards the officers of the vol
unteer army. Gen. .Funston's brilliant
exploit in capturing guinaldo is be-
ing belittled by ! tie regular. a.my
officers who are afraid he viii be pro-
NOTED over their heads. Appleto,1

+ By the close of the present fiscal
year, the United States treasury will
have a surplus of 100000, 600 in round
numbers. It seems that industrious as
congress was, they could not entirely
dissipate the enormous revenues that
our present system gathers. The ques-:
ton now is, what to- do with the sur
plus. To hoard so vast sum and thus
cut down the body Of the. circulating
medium, is not altogether safe. To
| buy bonds is-the next best thing to do
only holders are loath to part with
them and hold them. at so great a
premium that the secretary hesitates
to purchase. There is no class of Sc
curities on the face of the world, so
eagerly sought after, or which are re-
garded as so safe and sure, as our gov
eminent bonds. Not only is it so here,
but. in Europe. It is the one thing
above all others, of which Americans
should be proud. -LeSueur Sentinel

Ex-SPEAKER DARE'S VIEWS.
Editor A. N.~Dare of Elk River, has
served several terms in the State legis-
lature, and two years ago when the
gross earnings bill passed the house he
was the speaker of that body. The
proposition to refer the bill this year
to the tax commission elected the fol-
lowing comm ent from him:
"The idea of referring the increase
of gross earnings bill to the new tax
commission, was happy thought Of
the railroad lobby, and if it goes, will
save the public from the many stale
arguments against this reasonable
measure. It will also save the rail-.
roads a nice big wad of, cash they
"ooAo Ae0T . W pay oAOA1O VIC Uti1, SSTS
a fair'chance to pass" >2 :.
Editor Dare also took a little rap at
the old members of the house, who two
years ago voted for the bill. and this
year voted to refer it to the tax COM
mission. He doesn't seem to think
that anyone who favored the bill then,
has any plausible excuse, for voting to
refer it to the tax commission now

PEASE NEEDED PAGE.
Page Morris has been legislated out
of the Sixth district and it so hap
-pened that his county was not attached
to any of the old numbered districts.
St. Louis county will hereafter have
the say so Of things in the new Eighth
district, when Old Pease, of Anoka,
don't object too hard, as the latter
county will be included in the new
Eighth>also. How nice tits, too, that
these two counties have been put into
