WHAT IS YELLOW JOURNALISM

What is yellow journalism? If it is
criticism and ridicule of the policy of
the opposite political party, there are
few papers that are not tinted with
yellow
1t has always been recognized as le-
climate in this country to criticise the
official acts of public officers. This is
one of the boasted privileges of our free
institutions. Every president from
Washington down has been violently
assailed by the papers of the opposite
political faith, doubtless too violently
in many cases, but that is matter of
ethics and taste. Newspapers of what
ever political opinion will be slow to
surrender this right. When it becomes
less majestic in this country to criticise
the chief executive, we will indeed
have taken long trip towards imperial
ism.
The pith of il all is that this criticism
Is too frequently carried to unreasonable
extremes both during campaign and
after, There is hardly any bias so
strong as that of the political partisan.
Tins Is unfortunate in country where
every good citizen must be a partisan
Added to this are the elements of per-
sonal gain and the natural desire for
success, which are apt to outweigh the
broader patriotism which should enter
into the consideration of public ques-
tions. Newspapers might not serve
their party so well, but they might
serve their country better if political
discussions were conducted,upon high
er plane.

ABB Rec SPEECH.

Senator Deliver, of Iowa, in an ad-
dress delivered in Chicago a few days
ago. gave expression to this sentiment !:
1.-The Bill of Rights written in the En-
glish language stands for too many cen
turtles of sacrifice. too many battlefields
sanctified by blood, too many hopes of
mankind reaching toward the ages TO
come to be mutilated in the least IN or
der to meet the case of a handful of
mIscreants whose names nobody can
pronounce.
This sentiment is thoroughly sound,
thoroughly American The right of
free expression will not be abridged in
an effort to deliver a blow at anarchy,
blow which would not suppress, but
which would rather encourage the spir-
1t of anarchy. We already TO some ex-
tent have laws restricting or providing
for the abuse of free speech, and these
laws which have long existed. meet
with proper approval But there is no
demand for law depriving the people
of the right of liberty of speech beyond
those which already exist.

new ELECTION LAW.
WILL BE IN OPERATION AT THE
NOVEMBER ELECTION.

At the approaching November cleo
ton the new election law is to be test
ed. The result will be watched with
great interest throughout the State.
Under the Goebel election the State
legislature appointed three election
commissioners who should have charge
OF the elections in the State, tabulate
and certify the returns and appoint the
three county election commissioners in
each county in the State, they in turn
to act as a returning board for their
county. Under the working of this law
an election commission was appointed
consisting of three Democrats who APP
pointed county boards throughout the
State consisting of two Democrats and
one Republican. What a storm the
operation of the law created is known
to all who have taken even a passing
interest in the politics of the State.
The result was such that an amend
ment was made to the law, by which
the Clerk of the Court Of Appeals should
be the chairman of the state election
commission, while the members should
be selected by the ruling bodies of each
OF the two governing parties. This has
been done and the new board consist
ing Of S. j. Shackleford, Clerk of Court
of Appeals, as Chairman Charles b.
Poyntz, Democrat. and j. G. Wright
Republican, held its first meeting last
week In each Of the ll9 counties in
the State the Republican county com
mittee made a return OF list TO the
State board and commissioners were
appointed.
Satisfaction has been expressed by
the leaders of both parties at the list OF
commissioners which the state commits
sion had made up from the lists submit
ted to them. Whether this opinion will
be changed after the coming election Il
matter OF mere conjecture. On thu
State board the Democrats have ma
jority due to the fact that the Clerk o
the Court of Appeals Shackleford Is
Democrat. AS the new law takes GU
of the hands of the State Commission
the ability to make the returning boart
of the counties of whatever politica
complexion they might wish and max
the matter of Democratic or Republi
can county board depend entirely Oh
local conditions, it is thought that
much used and perhaps much abused
ground of complaint will be removed

WHAT CHICKENS COST.

The cost of raising chicken to two
pounds weight will, under favorable
conditions amount to about Is cents.
This of course does not apply to farm
raised chickens, since the actual cost
of these is scarcely more than the cost
Of labor required.
We refer to chickens raised where all
food is purchased, or has fixed market
ket value. Chickens under such condi-
tons can be Matched and fed to two
months of age for l5c, but, of course
mishaps may happen to increase this
amount. Nice broilers will always find
. ready market at from 10 to 15cents a
pound, thus leaving handsome margin
above cost. Farmers who raise all the
food required can make more money on
chickens, considering the investment
than any other one thing, and it is sur
prising that 30 few give the matter any
attention.

GHOULISn WORK.

Colonel Robert T. Lincoln, the only
living child of the late President Lin
eoln, entered his personal objection to
the opening OF the casket when his
Thursday IN what is to be hoped will
be their final resting place, says the
st. Louis Republic,
His objection was 0verruled, however
by the officious persons in charge of
the work, and the face of the dead pres
ident was exposed to the gaze of the
morbidly curious.
1t is said to have been in such con-
dition that under no circumstance
should the view have been permitted.
When the grewsome inspection was
finished the body of Abraham Lincoln
was once more consigned to earth.

heart disease at his rooms, 800 Tacoma

A Serious Charge.

Under date of May IL. the Mime
apolis Tribune has the following item
from Grovelake:
George Rossman of Groyelake town
ship Was arrested and brought before
Justice Reed yesterday on the charge
ofattempting to poison his son-in- law,
DR.. Quincy Warren. DIR. Quincy
Warren alleges that he saw Rossman
enter his room and put into bottle of
whiskey belonging to him what was
afterwards found to be white arsenic.
The case was set for May II, the al
legged poisoner being CO mmitted to jail
without bail.
DR.. " arreu was in the city on Sat-
urday, and says that his father-in-law
accompanied him to Brooten recently.
While there the doctor bought small
flask of whiskey, and about half of it
was drunk ON the way home. The
flask was left in the pocket of the doc
tors coat which he hung in his sleep
ing room. He says that during the
night Rossman entered the room and
he saw him take the flask from the
pocket and put something into it. He
suspected something wrong and sent
the flask and contents to Minneapolis
for analysis, and sufficient arsenic
was found in it to make even a small
drink surely fatal. He therefore had
Rossman arrested.
Mr.. Warren further said that there
had been some trouble over property
matters-Rossman insisting upon the
Doctor deciding certain property to his
Warren's) wife who is daughter of
Rossman, which the doctor refused to
do.

A Little Wreck.

The train westbound on the Little
Falls and Dakota road, met with a
serious mishap in the cut mile west
of the city, on Saturday last. 1t is a
mixed train-freight and passenger.
Three freight cars, about midway of
the train, jumped the track, and were
badly broken-one so seriously that
it was burned as the cheapest way OF
disposing of the wreckage. No dam
age occurred to the passenger aud mail
ears in the rear, and several cars at
the front of the train escaped injury.
No one was hurt. A wrecker from
Little Falls arrived in the afternoon,
and after an all-night's work the wreck
was cleared and the train preceded
westbound.

A small Pox Scare.

On Sunday morning w. 81. Dreves-
kracht, travelling for the Plano Har-
yesting company, was upon the street
suffering from small pox. His face
showed unmistakeable evidences OF it.
He had arrived in town the afternoon
before by the Little Falls and Dakota
train which was wrecked. He spent
the night in the depot-which by the
wa, has been thoroughly cleaned and
fumigated since. DIR. McMasters,
the city physician, was notified, and
he at once looked after the case. After
consulting with Mayor Hogan, small
house on the Fairy Lake road was
leased and temporary quarters pro-
vided for him, and he was made as
comfortable as may be. His brother
from Morris was notified, and came
over on Monday to look after him.
The man was on his way to Morris,
out reaching here, and the case being
pronounced small pox the conductor
declined to carry him farther. The
man is a member of the Knights of
Phythias, and the local lodge will
leave nothing undone to make his
forced Imprisonment AS pleasant as
possible under the circumstances.
A young man named Christlsw. who
lives on the north side of the river
with A. M. Mallory was found to have
small pox contracted On visit with
friends at Glenwood, and he and NAL
Tory are under quarantine restrictions.
The prompt action taken in both these
cases, which are mild, will doubtless
prevent the spread of the disease.
There is not the slightest occasion for
alarm
