building. Until the last year this county had
only fourteen miles Of hard surfaced road out

population Of $4,000 and contained over 1900
square miles Outside Of these fourteen miles,

pleased to note that many have re-
sponded with remittance, yet there

Nearly a year ago, President Roose-

congress, discussed the difficulties in a
very frank way. He speaks in mat

The governor might do great service
to the people and state, and by so do.
ing incidentally aid the party in this
county by disregarding all the applica.
tons for the positions and naming
some man who has not been an appli.
cant but who would be of the same
type as those already appointed for
other positions. There are no wiser
politics than to serve the people well,
and Governor johnson undoubtedly
realizes that fact. The bitter zeal with
which the announced applicants for
positions are striving, seems to make
it impossible for the governor to an
point either one without leaving a good
deal of soreness. Governor johnson
can strengthen the good feeling which
exists towards him in this county by
ignoring the whole outfit and appoint
ing some good, clean and capable man
who would perform the duties of the
position in credible manner.

public have SO far aided in keeping
the present ministry in power. Unfor-
tunately a great many Of the Catholic
religious bodies have been sympethiz-
ers with royalty as opposed to the re-
public. Leo XIII foresaw that this
attitude on the part of these bodies
would lead to trouble and he urged all
Catholics of France to support the re-
public. Had this policy been pursued,
Combes would not now be premier of
France. The French people are sup
porting him, not because of his anti
clerical crusade, but because they be-
lieve that he and his supporters are
elements which are struggling to put
the aspirations Of royalty forever at
rest.

The report that james Jeffrey
Roche of the Boston Pilot has been ap-
pointed consul for the United States
at Genoa, Italy, brings to mind we'll
defined habit which our presidents
have had of appointing literary men to
diplomatic and consulor positions.
washington Irving was appointed as
an attache at the Spanish legation by
John Quincy Adams" says the Even
ing Post, "and formerly at London by
Andrew Jackson. Polk made George
Bancroft minister to Great Britain,
and Lincoln, twenty years later, ap-
pointed him minister to Germany.
Nathaniel Hawthorne owed his ap-
pointment as consul to Liverpool to
President Pierce. Lincoln sent Mot
ley, the historian, as minister to Aus
tria, and later on Grant appointed him
ambassador to Great Britain. Lincoln
also appointed William Dean Howells
consul at Venice, and Hayes appointed
James Russell Lowell minister to
Spain, while Garfield promoted him to
st. James, where he served with much
distinction. John Hay, the present
secretary of state, was sent to the
same court by Mckinley more than
twenty years later"

Governor Johnson has met difficult
ties Of patronage with great prompt
ness and skill up to the present time.
The parties whom he has designated
as his appointees for the positions in
the state government are ample evil
dence Of the high standard of admin
istration that we may expect. Hen
nepin county, as usual, is causing
trouble. Unfortunately it is necessary
that surveyor general of logs should
be appointed in this district. There
are so many applicants for the position
and so many different factions in this
county that the governor will have diff
ficulty in satisfying the party. We
suggest that there are in this county
many loyal and able Democrats, per-
haps as deserving and more so than
any of the applicants for the position.

THREE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS.

There are three men who will, in a
couple of weeks from this time, be-
come governors Of different,states un-
der peculiar circumstances. We refer
to Joseph w. Folk of Missouri, Will
liam l.. Douglas of Massachusetts and
John A. Johnson of Minnesota. These
three men We're elected last November
on Democratic tickets when all the
rest Of the ticket elected was Republi-
can. Considered from the standpoint
Of the difference in vote between him
self and the head Of his ticket Mr..
Johnson occupies the most remarkable
position. He carried this state for
governor while Roosevelt had, approx
imately, 10000 majority. Mr.. Doug
las was elected in Massachusetts by
$4,000 majority, while Roosevelt car
ried the state by $1,000. In Missouri
which has always heretofore been
reliably Democratic, the general Re-
publican landslide, President Roose-
velt's popularity and the scandal con-
nected with the old Democratic State
House Gang, were sufficient to turn
the state over to the Republicans by
a majority of $4,000. Notwithstanding
this Mr.. Folk was elected by major
ity of more than 10000 votes
These three men are sure to occupy
important places in the Democratic
party in the future. or the three it is
probable that Mr.. Folk, because Of his
national reputation already gained,
and because of the fact that he lives
in populous Democratic state, will
assume the most important position.
1t is probably very fortunate for his
political future that he was the only
Democrat elected in Missouri, and that
the Republicans gained the legislature.
AS is well known, Mr.. Folk was not
the choice of the Democratic gang
which has so long ruled in Missouri.
Had representatives of this gang been
elected to the different offices they
would have undoubtedly used their
positions to thwart Mr.. Folk and his
policies. If he is opposed by the Re,
publican officials elected it will result
greatly to his benefit because no one
doubts that large majority Of the
voters of Missouri are Democrats.
The remarkable campaign made by
Mr.. Johnson in Minnesota has already
caused his name to be spoken and
written about throughout the whole
country. There is every reason to be-
lieve that Governor johnson will give
this state one of the best administra
tons that it has ever had. In fact we
confidently expect that Mr.. johnson
will do just that thing. If he does
and the Republicans continue to fight
each other, the newly elected governor
will not be single term governor, YET
so far as national politics are con
cerned, he will be under the great dis

Governor-elect johnson announced
two more excellent appointments dur
ing the past week. On Monday John
p. King, of Red Lake Falls, was
named for state librarian and on the
following day John A. McDermott, of
Candy, was chosen for state oil in
spector. Mr.. King is popular news
paper publisher and was the Demo-
cratic nominee for secretary Of state
at the recent election. He is we'll quail
flied. Mr.. McDermott is one Of the
best known travelling statesmen and is
well known and we'll liked in the Twin
Cities. He was former resident of
Saltwater. His appointment gives
much satisfaction to the commercial
travellers, by whom he was endorsed
for the place.

have been able to perpetuate them
selves and their friends in Office for 10,
these many years. This council will
be called upon in couple of weeks
to elect heads of departments for the
ensuing year. Will they proceed to
put through their slate without regard
to the public welfare as they have
done in the past, or will these fright
full mistakes coming so near the time
of election compel them to yield to a
public demand for more rigid enforce
rent of the ordinances of the city?
How much longer must the reputation
of the City of Minneapolis suffer be-
cause of the peanut politics that we
are cursed with? How much must we
lose in property and how many more
lives must be sacrificed because of
the non-enforcement of the law?

We venture to express the belief
that Senator Clapp will be elected. If
any assurance of the fact was neces-
sary it is to be found in the fact that
the Hennepin delegation is opposed to
him. There appears to be no reason
why, from a Republican standpoint,
Senator Clapp should not be reelected.
Certainly the names of those most
prominently mentioned in opposition
will not inspire any great amount Of
enthusiasm.

President Eliot on Religion.

President Eliot, of Harvard, adj
dressed a large audience in Cooper
Union Saturday night, Dec. 10, on the
Characteristic American Faith in
Education" The lecture was one Of
the course carried on by the board Of
education. In answer to a question;
after his formal remarks the lecturer
made the statement that the majority
of the present population of the state
of Massachusetts is supposed to be
Roman Catholic.
IF it is not now" he added, at soon'
will be. For the first time in the his.
tory of the commonwealth a Roman
Catholic, an American, born of Irisla
parents, was recently elected superin-
tendent of the public schools in Bos-
tom"
The question which drew forth this
statement was asked by a man in the
audience: what part shall the public
schools take in the religious education
of children?" DIR. Eliot did not make
direct reply. He said that it was q
grave question and one vitality in need
of solution in this country.
"In Germany" he continued, "they
have solved it by allowing religious i'll.
structions in the schools to the three
great divisions of the population, the
Protestants-that is, the Lutherans-
| the Roman Catholics and the Jews
The solution commonest in this
country is to allow no religious instruc--
