A TRAITOR TO HIS OWN.

Gov. Van SAINT has become practical
ly insane on the subject Of notoriety.
He devotes his entire time to skipping
around the country, being interviewed
and begging invitations to public func-
lions where he may make himself heard.
1t is a sad affliction when a man of real
ability thus acquires the appetite for
publicity. 1t is still sadder when one
who has only an empty noddle and
pulled up opinion of himself to carry
about forces himself constantly into
form.
Invariably such a one betrays him
self at every turn. To use the old ex-
preston, he cannot open his mouth
without putting his foot in it. Gov.
Van SAINT has been interviewed for the
thousand and fourth time by a Chi
cagO newspaper, and he said: 81 did not
think whether San Francisco would be
benefited at the expense of Puget
sound, or whether the Northwest would
no longer assume the land passage to
the Orient when I Instituted suit"
This is exactly the size of the man.
In the first place, as the country knows,
every move that he made against the
Northern Securities was worse than
useless. His campaign succeeded in
spending $4,000 of money contributed
by the taxpayers of Minnesota for the
benefit Of corporation lawyers and po-
litical bosses. For this sum total and
for three years of hurtful agitation the
state succeeded in serving a summons
and complaint. If any private inter-
est were conducted in this way, the
party responsible would soon feel the
weight Of a heavy boot.
More interesting is the laundering
and unintentional but honest admis-
sion of Gov. Van SAINT that he thought
nothing at all about the interests of
the Northwest. He was playing poll
tics pure and simple--that is, such pol
itics as alone could commend itself to
his low order of intelligence. What
was the Northwest to him? What did
he care whether the development Of
the country centered along the south
ern line or the northern? Why should
he mourn if the Twin Cities lost their
business to Omaha and Chicago and
the great commonwealth between this
and Puget sound lost their immigrants
to the southern section? How could he
even understand the value to Mime
sofa, to the Northwest, to the United
States and to the entire world of the
great contemplated world movement OF
traffic westward across this continent
and about the globe?
We cannot particularly blame him
when he says Il did not think" be-
cause nature omitted to provide him
with facilities for thinking about any
thing. But it is a humiliation to this
proud commonwealth that such a talk
ing machine run by wind power should
be permitted to affect its most vital
interests, or to speak in it's name in
distant communities where the ac-
crediting of such a human product to
Minnesota can be only a cause of
wonder and reproach.

that they need not vote for Mayor
sure to do, in order to maintain the
present admirable police system, be-
cause it would be retained in any event.
1t pointed out that the complexion Of
the police board would not be changed
during a single administration, and
gave a virtual guarantee that Col.
Wright, if elected mayor, would not
disturb the present chief of police. All
this we believe was mere pretense,
voters; for if Col. Wright were mayor
he would demoralize the police force
exactly as he did before. But what are
we to think of a newspaper which in
one breath assures the people that the
city's police system is so admirable
that even a change of party power
would not be allowed to disturb it, and
in the next breath accuses all those
connected with it of the lowest conduct
and the vilest crime?
All the denunciation that we have
referred to is mere campaign hysteria;
but it is expressed in language of such
violence and descends to so foul
level that it can only provoke a reac-
ton. The people Of st. Paul know
Robert A. Smith, and their faith in his
governing ability can no more be
shaken than their knowledge of his
excellent judgment and his kindness
of heart. They know that no city in
the United States is today more admir-
ably policed than st. Paul and in none
are law and order better preserved.
They know what kind of mayor F.
P. Wright made ten years ago. They
know that he is a queer compound of
vanity and obstinacy; that where he
knows least he is most cocksure of
himself; that the only advisers to
whom he ever listens are weak or vi
cious ones; that this is not because he
is personally depraved, but because
he is so constituted that only those
who will condescend to f1atter his CO.
1ossal self-conceit for purposes of their
own can have the least influence over
him. Life and property became unsafe
under him, and public order was over
turned. The public is asked to believe
that this was due to the Vaccinations
Of disappointed Democrats; but the
public is not composed of madmen, and
passes that by with a smile.
Were there no other argument, how
ever, on which to appeal to the voter
a week from Tuesday next, it should be
sufficient to call his attention to the
methods and the language of the ex-
ponents Of Republicanism in this cam
paign. Whenever a party's representa-
uVes, otherwise reputable and clean
minded, sink to such depths of mis-
representation and such shrilIness Of
sIangWanging, one may be very GER
tain that they are fully conscious of
the Worthlessness and the weakness Of
their own cause.

out his second term in the

the Sixth ward, and his chances Of
serving a third term are excellent.
He is personally very popular with
the people of the West side, but is
making his campaign for reelection
on his record in the aldermanic
body. His friends point to an ap-
preparation Of $4,000 for the build
ing of the Stryker street sewer svs-

for paving and matchmaking Con-
cord and South Robert streets. while
the extension and Improvement Of

What the Editors Say

Whlle the governor is not the most
important officer in the state, owing to
the fact that his influence permeates
every branch and department of the
state government, his selection becomes
a matter of the greatest importance 1t

candidate who he believes will give the
state the best administration. It is
hardly necessary to state that as the
governor is, so will the administration
