What the Editors Say

A Minnesota Republican state sena-
tor has achieved the hostility of the
New York Evening Post by remarking
that his state wants the tariff duty
lowered on lumber and steel and some
other articles of importation. The New
York paper settles the case of the pre-
sumptuous Minnesotan with the charge
that he ''is evidently an upstart and no
real Republican"
Having been made the first victim of
new political classification, attention
will be directed to the unfortunate
senator. There are now two kinds of
people = Republicans and upstairs -
and he is one of them.
1t is extremely probable that the
gentleman thus assaiIed finds an
abundance of company in the rebellious
state in which he resides, the crop of
upstairs having there grown with the
alaerity of most Western products

Shorter campaigns are being agitat
ed by the political workers of all par
ties. The average presidential CAM
paign, for instance, extends over a pc
Rod of from four to five months, while
half that time would be fully ample
to spread the various doctrines at issue
manner. AS it is now, the worry and
fatigue of the ordinary campaign is
shortening the lives of many of our
best and brainiest men. There is no
necessity for this, and the Morning In
dependent hopes that next year will
mark the beginning of a new custom
in this regard.-Winona independent
The sentiment of the Northwest is
decidedly in favor of conservative tar
if reform so as to give the people relief
from the unnecessary and burdensome
exactions of the trusts and also in ia
vor of reasonable reciprocity treaties
with Cuba, Canada and other nations
where we may profitably exchange
products. The congressman who think
they can keep making promises before
election to institute and support such
reforms and then deliberately forget
and neglect them will certainly find
that reckoning day is at hand

Senator Daniel, of Virginia, has
knocked a large sized hole in the
financial legislation programme. He
calls attention to the object of the Al
drich bill, roundabout method where
by the banks can secure the surplus
in the treasury to loan to the people
who need it in their business at a good
rate of interest. Mr.. Daniel points
out that the logical course would be
to so reduce taxation as to obViate any
unnecessary surplus and permit the
people to collect the interest on their
own money.-St. Cloud Daily Times
According to the stand patters if it
was not for the tariff, notwithstanding
it's enormous burdens, the industries of
the country would be ruined and the
people would be overwhelmed with
hard times. In other words, the situa-
ton would be like that of the people
in village of Ireland. who when ask =
ed by a visitor how they were getting
on one of them replied: "Arrah, sure
and if it wasn't for the famine we'd all
be Shtarving." Freedom County

The revolutionists over in Macedonia
are going some. They gave battle yes
terday to the sultan's forces within six
hours Of the royal palace. If Europe
don't soon come to the rescue the sick
man will be no longer; but actually
dead. Then talk about war and ru-
mors Of war. Europe would be one big
Spanish bull ring, with all the able
bodied males as helper to keep the
big time from becoming slow.-Austin

The Jud La Moures of Illinois are
advising the present governor of Illi-
nois not to be a candidate for gov
ernor next year, but the present gov
ernor has hankering to be the future
governor and announced this intention
Saturday. His intention is better than
his chances for being the future gov
ernor.-Grand Forks Plaindealer.
The "sick man" has thrown up" his
hands and cried enough. The bear
with it's squadron makes a slight i'm
preston upon the porte and he signi-
f1es his willingness to comply with it's
request. It's a cinch that he is of the
''show 'em" fraternity.-Austi Daily
Register.
The Republicans pretend to laugh at
fusion in politics, but they are mortally
afraid of a fusion of all the Democrats
and the tariff revision Republicans on
a platform which calls for moderate
tariff revision.-St. Cloud Times.
Politically, 1t has been a dull week
for the tin horn" newspapers, a new
candidate for governor not having been
named. Boys, you must do better than
that if you wish to keep up the fight
