What the Editors Say

There is no Biblican assurance that
zBalaam's ass spoke authoritatively, but
We are told that he spoke. We are
also informed that Van SantS-pri-
vate secretary spoke, though whether
authoritatively or not we are not per-
mitted to know. He said Van SAINT
would be a candidate. One thing is
certain-if he is making Collins believe
he is out Of the race, while he is only
coquett1ng with the nomination, 1T will
hardly work. With both Eddy and
Collins in the field as avowed Van
SAINT men it looks as if the st. Paul
Tammany ring might soon get down
more hay than they will be able to
cock up.-Blue Earth Post.
A Philadelphia Judge has decided
against blushing maiden who was
suing former lover for breach of
promise, holding any contract made on
the Sabbath day Illegal. It appears
that the matter was not considered on
Monday morning, as the young man
departed for his home before mid
night. Any girl who will send her beau
away at such an hour after proposal
ought to be turned down.
Moral-Girls, don't send your beaus
home before Monday morning.-Pres-
ton Republican.
When Frank Eddy first announced
his pretty little platform there was
great hullabaloo Of applause, but 1t
seems to have died out as quickly as it
came. The fact is that the people of
Minnesota care little about what men
are promising; they want a man for
governor whose record makes it I'M
necessary to prate of promises and 1T
looks very much as though they will
wit hoIIf

For the sake of the credit Of the
state it is to be hoped that the Repub-
licans will refuse to renominate Ray
Jones for lieutenant governor. If there
are not enough decent men to make
fun ticket it would be better to leave
a place vacant than to take name
from the criminal calendar. We are
glad to note that some of the more in
dependent Republican papers are TAX
ing UP this matter.-Willmar Tribune.
The forty eighth congress Is In Ses-
sion at Washington. With the infusion
of new energy into the Democratic
party by their new leader, supported
by new congressman who are fighters
in the cause of Democracy, with we'll

mocracy will be better protected and
advanced in the house than it has for

Under Republican rule, as appears
from the Journal-Press, the price of
cows has dropped down to SO! Think
of it, we farmers! 1t sis sad state of
affairs" says Editor Eastman, but
suppressing the truth does not help the
matter" 1t will "help the matter" to
bounce the trust-creating party.-St.

There Is a man by the name of Mar
tin belonging to the governors official
colony who is getting it in the neck
from all sides, and it looks very much
as if he deserves what he Is getting.
Official duties appear to be more than
a. second consideration with him.

! 1T Is the general opinion that Collins
should withdraw from the supreme
bench if he is going to be an active
candidate for governor. Collins will no
doubt "play on the bench if he enters
the race for the governorship.-Nor

w. III. Eustis is said to have the
gubernatorial bee in his bonnet again.
1t is a wonder that the bee don't let
Mr. Eustis alone. 1t has got him into
enough trouble already. = Crookston
