What the Editors Say

Those who claim to be wise to the
situation figure it out like unto this:
Collins resigns, to run for governor;
Van SAINT appoints Douglas to the va
cancy on the supreme bench; he also
appoints Oscar Hallam to fill Douglas
place; and when the legislature meets
Van goes to the United States senate;
Clapp gets anything he can find that
no one else wants. However, it is not
claimed that either Heatwole, or Eddy,
or Dunn, or Clapp, or Tams Bixby is
irrevocably committed to this pro-
gramme.-Wabasha Herald.
Would it not be a good idea for this
man Johnson, by grace of Gov. Van
SAINT, public examiner, to make new
ruling" on state bank examinations,
definitely stating whether they are to
be examined before or after the alb
sconding of the cashier whose pecu-
lations tXtend back two or three years?
Johnson is a good hunter, only he
hunts elephants with popguns and
Earth City Post.
Speculation is rife as to who will
be appointed to the bench in case
Judge Collins resigns. 1t is waste of
time guessing. The thing is fixed. At
| torney General Douglas will get the
place, and Oscar Hallam will be ap
| pointed to succeed Mr.. Douglas 1t is
| part of the deal. The administration
| is perfectly willing to save the people
| the expense and trouble of holding
| state convention.-Sauk Center Her.

Martin County Sentinel.
| Some Hennepin county politicians
! are talking of disinterring the remains
| of William Hennery Eustis with the
view of using them in the coming cam

| to decide whether to use them in the
| gubernatOrial campaign, or enter them
| against John Lind in the Fifth district

| Hope is always singing a song
| Mortified News.
Indeed, yes! And Hope is not the
only fellow that sings songs. The oil
promoter does fine stunt in that line,
and the mine promoter is somewhat of
a singer, himself. But when Van SAINT
| gets keyed UP on the merger, he makes
| more noise than any of them-and he
! expects an encore.-St. James Journal.
| If the public examiner had spent q
| little more time in some of the de-
| funct banks instead of counting post
age stamps in the county offices, con-
| siderable loss to depositors and stock
holders might possibly have been
avoided. It's a case of saving at the
/ spigot to waste at the bunghole.-
Hastings Gazette
| When a bank failed during the last
Democratic administration it was the
common thing for Republican papers
| to- say that such bank had gone Dem
| ocratic. No reason is given by those
| papers why so many banks are being
| closed at this time. - Buffalo Lake
| News.
They are having a personal beauty
