JOAu L. Will 1lhCly survive duu
amass another necessary roll in
the meantime.
THERE is an apparent discrep-
ancy in the strength of the local
Tammany and the New York
Tammany, the odds favoring the
former to marked degree.
OF course the range would have
been satisfied with one member of
the legislature, but the range voter
has evidently got the right curve
on the idea of getting plenty while
he's getting.
THE manner in which Honest
Bob Dunn "flails" the report of
Public Examiner Johnson demands
something stronger than mineral
water for wash with the man who
knows thing or two.
Coy. VAN SAINT, in an address at
Moline, ILL.,, on Saturday, stated that
mo party nomination should be so
strong that it will secure the cleo
ton of an unworthy candidate"
Was the governor thinking of Min
nesota politics at the time?
THAT report of the vote at Elba
as read in the First Ward polling
place Tuesday evening was the
blow that cut the main mast. 80 for
Bates to zephery cipher aor Mr..
Armstead was conclusive proof of
where the voters of the"precinct
stood. ,,.r
THE range vote showed John
Saari running like bay steer in
billowy field of green corn at all
range points. Mr.. Saari is gentle
man who will realize the trust i'm
posed upon him by the voters of
the district and will be faithful
thereto.
THE vote accorded DR.. Weirick at
this point was not what he was en-
titled to, but the handwriting of the
influences behind the deal was so
plain that the blame will be rightly
placed and doubtless remembered
at some future date should occa-
sion permit.
WHEN the sword is rusty, the
pillow bright, the prisons empty, the
granaries full, the steps of the tenn
pie worn down and those of the law
courts grass worn; when doctors
go a-foot, the bakers on horseback,
and the men of letters drive in their
own carriages, then the empire is
we'll governed.-Chinese Saving.
The ENTERPRISE acknowledges a
proffer of a patent medicine ad. on
Wednesday,, but the election re-
turns had put the elixir of life into
Virginians with such vigor that we
dissauded the gentleman from ad-
vertising his goods in the city for
another year; there will be no need
of rejuvenators in the city for that
period, at least.
THE reply of Public Examiner
johnson to Mr.: Dunn's alleged ex-
PLANTATION of the mineral land leases
elicits the following from Mr.. John
son: "The so-called explanation of
the mineral lands report is 80 ridi-
culous, and the absolute indiffer-
ence to the express provisions of
the law is 80 frankly admitted, that
it needs no comment whatever from
me-" Nor yet from anyone else.
IHE primaries are over, but Bob
Dunn and Public Examiner John
son are not yet through. And their
tete a-tete is quite interesting,
especially to many people who
have made applications for state
mineral leases on Mesaba lands,
only to find that the pieces of prop
erty desired chad just been taken
up" but that some deal could prob
ably be made with the lucky own

EDITOR ATKINSON. in a notice at
the top of his editorial column,
states that "foreign advertisers.
must pay the same rate as the home
merchant" This principle has ever
been adhered to by the Enterprise,
and the local advertiser, by glanc-..
