The New York Issues,

4 Political prognosticators feel sure now
@hat Jerome will gallop into the district
Rattorneyship and they are not so certain
THAT the Indignation Of the people will
not make Hearst mayor also. The dual
1ty and the staying power of public
scorn of the machine was never quite
SO good as it is this year. The Jerome
candidacy gave it a rallying point, but
it appears now that the people are not
going to be satisfied with merely ex-
Z pressing their confidence in Jerome.
They are determined to smash the whole
machine, republican and democratic, in
New York city. While two weeks ago
Mcclellan seemed to have the situation
well in hand, today he is fighting for his
life. The betting public, which began
to give odds of ten to one on his
chances, has settled down to con-
servative two to one. This indicates
mighty change in public sentiment,
for the betting ring: in New York is
unusually shrewd and observing of the
political weather s3 s
The campaign has broadened into one
of education. 1t includes now not only
the fortunes of Mr.. Jerome, but the
whole issue Of representative, govern:
ment versus machine and corrupt domi
nation. The issue, says one of the New
York papers, is whether the people
are fit for selfgovernment' -
While the defeat of fair average
executive like Mcclellan by such a per,
son as Hearst would not in itself be an
evidence of capacity for, self-govern
ment, as a protest against the system
back of Mcclellan it is entirely justifa
bic and is an evidence of an intense and
vital interest in the real issue. McClel
Ian is backed and owned by Murphy, the
most rotten boss that Tammany has
produced since Tweed. He has beer
unable to carry out any real plans OF
reform, to make any except dubious ap
pointments or to carry out any except
Tammany policies. He has been per
mitted to play with public ownership
Of ferries to Staten island, but he was

compelled to. sign the Remsen gas steal.
Mr.. -McC lellan comes up for q second
term as the candidate of the New
York Trucking company, concern
which is virtually Murphy, and which
is prepared to make the building of the
next subway a d bit of loot on which
Murphy and all his tribe may retire in
affluence, not to the penitentiary, where
they belong, but to city palaces and
broad country seats.
There is tidal wave against corrupt
politics everywhere. New York happens
to be on the crest of it. The Fact that
Mr.. jerome is receiving campaign con-
tributions in letters from all parts of
the country is evidence not merely that
the people all over the country sympa-
thize with the gallant struggle OF a
brave man, but that they consider his
fight their fight. The people are tired
of rings and bosses and when they
hurrah for jerome they are merely
cheering themselves on for the tight
they know is coming in their own com
munity.

April. A great deal Of livestock per
ished because the farmers were Unable
to reach their sheds with feed.
The winter Of 188O-Sl did more to
give Minnesota a reputation for polar
weather than any other expefienca the
state ever had. While we still have q
winter occasionally that is not exactly
balmy, it seems beyond a question that
the normal climate Of the northwest IS
milder than it was in the early days.
Even in this wet, cool summer, corn
matured in Otter Tail county and
yielded forty-fve bushels to the acre,
Field corn was in the list of impossible
crops twenty years ago. Perhaps, if we
live lorg enough, we will see Minnesota

When They Had Weather.

Snow in October is a rare thing in
Minnesota during recent years, and the
fall Of last Sunday was a surprise: The
old settlers, however, have a story
about the winter of the big snow
that leads one to think we have fallen
ION degenerate days.
It was twenty-five years ago that a
great snowstorm swept the state, Oct.
Is, and Improved one of the most severe
ever seen. Snow began. to fall the eve
ming Of Oct. IA, and it fell for over
two days, with high winds and big
drop in the thermometer. Farmers were
showed in for weeks, roads were blocked
by huge drifts, and some Of the new
lines of railroad were unable to open
all winter, for the snow kept coming
and never left the ground till the next

Some Significant Figures.

The census bureau has done service
in calling attention to the relatively
small amount of immigration from. out
side Minnesota to our new northern
counties. It is information that will
call emphatic attention to the need OF
going after the homeseekers moving
westward from the eastern states and
! foreign countries.
sH Taking twenty-three northern coun;
4 ties, Director Wright finds that $4,000
people have moved into their respect
i've localities outside the cities and vii
lagos within five years. Yet OF this
number only 12,242 have come from
\ outside of Minnesota. The remaining
influx, over 10000, does not represent
!. gain for the state, but shift from
s one locality to another. We have beer

sections Of the state, has not been re

States and countries. The tide of home
seekers that has gone westward i
swarms from the states south of us an
east of the Mississippi has passed thr
Minnesota, leaving us but small cor

Investigate.

Some college boys tied an initiate on
the railroad track asa part of the cere-
1mony. An unexpected train came along
and crushed the life out Of the victim
Of the mummery. The father of the
boy, out Of consideration for the pa
rents of the other boys, is trying to
hush the matter up, realizing that a
public exposure will not bring his boy
back to life and will cause untold an
guish in other families. This Isl very
decent and Christian Of the father, but
it Is an avoidance Of a public duty to
pass the matter over in this way.
The blunder Of these boys is so start
ling in it's effects that it demands pub.
lie attention. People who have sent
of are about to send their boys to col.
leges should be advised in advance
about how far from civilization they
are sending them.

When meeting bells began to- TOLL 1900
And pious folk began to pass,
She deftly tied her bonnet on,
The little, sober, meeting lass,
All in her neat white-curtained room, before
her looking glass. .5
So square she tied the satin strings, So
And set the bows beneath her chini
Then smiled to see how sweet she looked;
Then thought her vanity sin,
And she must put such thoughts away before
the sermons should begin.
Yet sitting there with peaceful face,
The reflex OF her simple. soul,
She looked toa be very Nsaint
And maybe was one, on the whole :S Il
Only that her pretty bonnet kept away the
