Twin City Milk Prices.

Milk question: It will interest our
milk shippers to know that the Dairy
mems association of the twin cities
will keep the price of milk to consum-
ers at the winter rate. Usually the
price of milk is cut down by the Du-
luth and Superior dealers about May,
and the shippers around Rush City
have no remedy, because they fail to
unite for their mutual support. There
are not nearly as many COWS in this
county as there were a year ago, and
no reason exists why the price of milk
should be cut down during the coming
summer. We're our dairy farmers
wise they would hand separate their
milk and use the by-product in raising
beef cattle. hogs and COWS. This with
the value of the manure would put
more money in their pockets than the
shipping of the whole product. to Du-
luth at prices over which they have no
control. Rush City Post.

: The Chinese minister protests
against the manner in which the ofic-
ious customs inspectors of this coun-
try have treated some of the leading
citizens of that country who have come
to this country to attend the worlds
fair at st. Louis. He says that the
Chinese gentlemen have been treated
just about like coolies and common
laborers, and from all reports the
minister is quite justified in making
his protest, as it would seem that our
government officials ought to be able
to use some discretion in the matter.
We don't want any Unnecessary number
Of Chinese laborers in this country.
but we do want to remain on the best
of terms with that country and cannot
afford to incur the enmity of China
just because of acts of indiscretion
on the part of few cheap customs in
spectOrs. The Chinese minister is
all right and we like his style.

The recent vote in the city of Chi
cago on the question of municipal
ownership of the street railways of
that city shows that the people want
the public utilities of that city in the
hands of the municipality. On the
question of whether the city should
own and operate the street railways
the vote stood 120, 741 for and 1893
against. The sentiment shows sound
Judgment on the part of the people.
sbut in city like Chicago where the
municipal machinery is coated several
layers with the CRIME and moss OF
graft it is'a question whether munich

says that he will butcher twenty

many of the farmers Mr.. Prescott says
that all will start in for another sea-
son with hopes for better results. He
will put in clover field at once for
his hogs as he says that while pork
has been low in comparison with the
price OF feed, he will stick to hogs as
he always has done, and be in shape
to take advantage of the farmers mar
gin when it comes.

Collins Loyalty to St. Cloud.

It is not surprising to hear that the
people of St. Cloud are growing more
and more lukewarm in their support
Of Judge Collins. While for political
purposes he has posed as resident
Of St. Cloud for business and social
purposes he has lived for years in
Minneapolis. His investments are
in Minneapolis instead of St. Cloud.
He has done nothing in the way of i'm
provements for that city. What he has
been able to save from very hand
some salary has been devoted to build
ing up and developing Minneapolis.
The empty honor of having it said
that the home of the governor is in St.
Cloud does not fool the hard headed
business men of that city and it will
not be surprising if three-fourths of
the delegation from Stearns county at
the July convention should be in favor
of Honest Bob Dunn for GOVERNOR

will Never Excuse Collins

Collins claims that all lawyers of
the State are for him. If he thinks
the bar of Minnesota have no higher
regard for the lofty position of Judge
of the supreme court than he has
shown, he is mistaken. The lawyers
of Minnesota will never excuse nor
forgive Judge Collins for traficking
in the highest judicial office in the
State and dragging the ermine of his
office in the mud of politics. Crooks

cision of the State supreme court set
tiers gain title to about $4,000 acres
of land. Sage was assignee of the

sion of the land which was originally
set apart as a grant for the railroad
company but settlers took possession
before all of the formalities of the
grant had been completed. Justice

piled with all of the requirements of

fore settlers located on the land. that
