The National Waterman has been
bought by Bryan and consolidated
With the Commoner. Bryan is extend
ing his ''sphere of influence'' and will
give the 're-organizers" q fight for
their money. Those who read the
Commoner attentively are likely to
become imbued with the same spirit
as Bryan, and feel that it will not pay
to sacrifice principle in order to land
a few politicians in fat Offices, They
will feel that if the democratic party
has any mission at all it is to oppose
the centralizing influence of the party
in power, and to do this it must have
a clear-cut policy that cannot be in
terpreted to suit both sides. A victory
for q name is nothing; it must be a
victory for a principle if it shall be
worth q struggle. 49, 49, l..

Editor Mitchell of the Alexandria
Post News announces that he is in
favor of Teddy Roosevelt as republi-
can candidate for president in 1904,
but has grave doubts as to the latter's
ability to capture the Minnesota dele
cation to the national convention. He
gives the following reasons for this
doubt:
The reasons are several and the first
is that while we believe he is the choice
of the people of this state to succeed
Mr.. Mckinley, there is not much doubt
that he is not the choice of Mr.. Hanna.
Mr.. Hanna is man of rare political
judgment and when he makes up his
mind he never hesitates to act. If he
acts against Mr.. Roosevelt, it will be
felt in Minnesota most decidedly.

After the hardest preliminary battles
ever fought in Iowa, A. B. Cummins
received the nomination for governor
by q union of the Cummins and
Herriott forces. The latter snapped
his rather slim chances for q guber-
Material nomination for an easy VIC
tory in a scramble for the lieutenant
governors place. This trade and the
bitter fight preceding it may somewhat
reduce the republican majority in
Iowa, but the state is so overwhelm-
ingly republican that there is little
chance of beating the ticket.

Principles, not men, are the issues
at stake in the political arena
Mcintosh Times.
That is rather bad doctrine, and is
responsible for q good deal of the
rottenness in American politics. What
we need is good principles and men to
execute them. The trouble is the people
have become welded to certain set
of principles and have voted for the
men nominated to represent those
principles without asking if the men
were trustworthy. The only way you
can get good principles successfully
carried out is by nominating and
electing good men to have charge of
the making and executing of the laws.

Wesenberg, of the Duluth Skandinav,
comes back at US last week in an ar
ticle headed "a Very Lame Defense. !"
The heading is eminently correct and
fits the article nicely. He wants US to
publish it, but it is too much on the
Gratiano order-three kernels OF grain
hid in two bushels of chatf. We shall
therefore try to pick out the kernels
and leave out the chaff.
/. Wesenberg explains that when
he adviced the people in states where
there is a primary election law to join
the dominant party he meant it only
for the readers of the Skandinav, and
as that paper has no circulation in
democratic states the advice was simply
a guarded way of telling them to vote
the republican ticket. Later on he
quotes approvingly the following state
ment by Duluth republican: "The
republican party is not all it should
be-, but it is the best we have got:" If
this is true why does not Wesenberg
advice his readers to join the "best"
party in all states, whether they have
primary election law or not? We
are glad to hear that Wesenberg fought
for the Union forty years ago, and we
honor him for it, but we fail to see
what that has to do with the issues of
the day. The men who fought against
each other in that struggle have since
fought side by side for freedom for
another people. The ''bloody shirt" is
buried, q new generation has grown up
and new issues confront them. On those
issues we musttake our stand and fight it
out. AS Wesenberg mas now espoused
the cause of the republicans we suggest
that the best thing he can do is to de-
fend the republican position on those
questions.
2. He tries to wiggle out of his error
on the homestead question by stating
that the homestead law as passed con-
tains more than was demanded by the
stree soilers." Did he ever see a
platform that gave all the details of a
proposed measure? We contend that
the most important part of it was the
free gift of lands to actual settlers, and
this was demanded by the "free
soilers.'' Then he states that the
Douglas democrats also demanded
"squatters' rights" Yea, verify,
they demanded the right of the settler
in territories to bring his slayes with
him, and that when the time came to
form state the people of the territory
should have the right to say whether
slavery should exist in the state or
not; but we fail to see what bearing
this has on the homestead law. In
conclusion, Bro. Wesenberg, if you
wish to discuss the issues of the day
we are willing to give you the hearing
you ask for. If you prefer to root
around in the graveyard of dead and
buried issues, we must part company.
We live in the twentieth century, and
find enough unsolved problems to dis
cuss without playing ghouls.

The farmer who has hay to sell will
be fortunate this year. The hay crop
was almost q total failure in many
states. In Iowa hay is quoted at from
$12 to $14 ton already. Our farmers
should make it a point to cut all the
grass on their lands, and also take
good care of the corn stalks and oat
straw. It will pay them to buy q feed
cutter and cut up all the rough fodder,
leaving as much as possible of the
hay for sale.

Kitchener has issued notice that all
Boer commanders who have not sur
rendered before September Is will be
banished for life. 1t is safe to wager
that fighting the Beers by means of
proclamations will be no more effective
than the other means Kitchener has
resorted to. The Boer commanders
will probably remind him of the old

President Mckinley has pardoned
thirty-five bank robbers, most of whom
had served only small part of their
term in prison. Somebody ought to
put the bankers association on to this.
Or is it alright to pardon bank robbers
who do their work in a smooth, gentle
manly way from the inside of the bank
counter, and wrong when the robbery
has been committed by men from the
outside?

MOTION TO REOPEN CASE.

Tn the superior court yesterday after
noon Judge Subway accepted the
committees report in the case of Mer-
win vs. Merwin, of Woodmont. The
report favors the plaintiff. When the
matter came up early in the afternoon
Attorney William B. Stoddard, counsel
for the plaintiff, was present, while
counsel for the defense, Judge Blyden-
burgh and Charles s. Hamilton, were
not present, and Judge Stoddard asked
that the report be accepted. No oppo-
sition appearing, the report was ac-
cepted.
Later in the afternoon Judge Blyden-
burgh and Mr. Hamilton appeared in
court before Judge Shumway and re-
uuested that the case be reopened. They
said that it was through misunder-
standing that they had not been pres
ent when the case came up, they sup
posing that the Merwin case would go
over until some ether day.
Judge Stoddard opposed reopenlng
the case, and the motion to do so was
argued until nearly 6 o'clock, when
Judge Shumway stated that he would
consider the matter further before CIV
ing a decision.

Those who may feel inclined to criti-
else the surgical conduct OF president
McKinleys case should recall clearly
the fact that if any error was made IL
was simply one Of prognosis. such an
error is always on the right side of the
belance and is more to the credit imam
to the discredit of the human nature
I that is prone to show itself in medl-
cal man when he is brought suddenly
face to face with a great crisis. In
the case of the President the favorable
prognosis did not and could not affect
ne result unfavorably. The work OF
the surgeons had already been done.
We take 1t as a well established fact
An practice that hopeful prognosis Is
better than despair in any case and I'M
der any circumstances whatever
There is real and genuine asset to
sassssierived from hope, and the individ-
swfo comes In for the biggest share
This asset is the patient. The trust
or lugubrious doctor who cannot
some silver lining to the cloud in
Essentially doubtful case should re-
&. He is not in the psychological
bod to avail himself of all his oppor-
mites. One of Philadelphia's ablest

case presenting doubtful symptoms of
ANGER of the stomach, and told his stu
ants that if he were the patient in
lcl a case and his physician should
make the positive diagnosis Of gastric
cancer he would instantly discharge
him And this was said with reason;
for or what use can doctor be when
he has abandoned hope?

progress from the third to the fifth day |
fully justified a hopeful prognosis Any |
Ter would have recklessly thrown
H public into a panic, and this would |
