1atten In the political pen, both the
people and the country newspapers
would fare better.-Midway News.
That might be true if the people
would only stop pouring swill into the
troughS for a minute. But they like fat
political hogs, and if the country news
papers want to subsist they must root
with the hogs or keep away from the
troughs. The newspaper that bucks
the hogs must live on short rations.--

Some papers are discussing in all
seriousness the probability of Tom
Lowry succeeding Moses E. Clapp as
united States senator. Lowry has as
much chance Of being elected senator
as an elephant of squeezing through the
eye or needle. Not that Lowry is such
bad fellow, but the ordinary legislator
would not dare to vote for him, unless
ne had at the same time concluded to
change his residence-to Canada, for
instance. Tome never can be even a
possibility, and this mention of his
name in connection with the senate
is all moonshihe.@ Times.
The state board of equalization is
starting an Investigation of the as
sessment of the st. Paul and Minneap-
oils street railway companies, but what
the people are interested in is to see
them assessed properly.-Windom Re

They did the same thing last year
and then voted in support of the COM
panies, and the chances are that they
will do the same thing this year. Since
the personnel of the board remains
practically unchanged there is but little
danger that Dom Lowry will be dis
turbed.-St. Peter. Free Press.
Booker T. Washington, the negro who
believes that the colored people ought
to be taught how to work and earn re-
spectacle livings for themselves, is on
the verge of great success. He has
aroused the colored people and they are
thinking, hence the opposition which is
showing itself. No reformer ever ac-
complished anything until after he had
aroused a good stiff opposition to his
plans. That is where Booker T. Wash
ington and his technical training school
are just now. Good results are sure
to follow.-Crystal Call.
If you will put your ear to the ground
you will hear the swelling echoes of
Bob Dunn" Bob Dun for governor
in the Republican currents and it is
doubtful if anybody is able to tap the
wires and switch the voltage off. And
hard man to beat at the polls.-Free-

With the adjustment of the Dawes
Indian commission, the, Republican
party of Minnesota would again have
Tams Bixby on it's hands, and also a

1t is said that the Canadian Reel
procity league is already figuring on a
favorable plank in the next state Re-

assertion that the league will be
doomed to isappointment-Bro

Recent developments in Indian terri
