VERY UNFAIR.

There is now a scheme on foot to
run in G. F. Staples, railway and
warehouse commissioner, as a posi-
BILE dark horse for candidate for gov
ernor in the state convention. In
fact it's anything to beat Jacobson.
Mr.. Staples would be acceptable to
the "interests,' all right. He has
been posing as an enemy of the rail-
roads, but he has never hurt them
any, claiming always, that the two
other members of the commission are
opposed to him. Should Mr.. Staples
get the nomination and undertake to
be elected on his record he would fail,
for. he has no record Sherburne
County Times.
Mr.. Jacobson has not a better
friend in the state than Charles F,
Staples, and Mr.. Jacobson is Mr..
Staples first choice for governor.
Mr.. Staples is not even a receptive
candidate for gubernatorial honors,
and we do not believe he would accept
the nomination if it were rendered him.
in fact we know he would not.
Surely the editor of the Times does
not know Mr.. Staples. AS legis-
lator Mr.. Staples has splendid rec
ord. He was never known to oppose
a good measure or champion bad
one. AS railroad commissioner he has
always performed the duties devolv-
ing upon him ably, impartially and
fearlessly. The state of Minnesota
has no more honest, capable and
conscientious public servant than
Charles F. Staples. - 4.

Gov. johnson is credited with say
ing that he will be easily reelected to
his present position if Senator Nelson
does not "butt in.'' But how is Mr..
johnson going to hold the republican
traitors and hirelings in line if the
multi-millionaire pine baron and the
corporate interests and tax.dodgers
fail to ''butt in'' with another quar-
ter of million corruption fund? But
the corporate interests and the tax
dodgers consider Gov. johnson. a
"safe man," and they will "butt in
and butt hard, but their butting will
be in vain.

Vice President Whiting of the vest
ern paper trust tells newspaper pub
fishers that after the trust has gone
out of business they will find that it
has been saving them thousands of
dollars. He predicts a rise in prices
when the company dissolves, but pub
fishers, as a general thing, will prob
ably be willing to take chances
Boston Record.
And the chances are that, SO far as
an advance in prices is concerned,
Whiting's prediction will prove true.
Though the trust be to every appear
ance dissolved. it should not be ex-
pected that the many mills which
composed it will enter into antagonis-
tic competition. The dissolved rail-
road merger may, for instance, be
cited as criterion.

The agricultural appropriation bill,
which passed the senate last week,
carries with it in the form of an
amendment a measure providing for
the inspection of fresh meats intended
for domestic consumption. The bill,
which delegates the work to the
bureau of animal industry, requires
that all acceptable meats be labeled
and condemned products DESTROYED.
It also authorizes inspection of all
animals before they enter the packing
houses and sets forth that the expense
of such inspection be borne by the
owners. The penalty for violation
OF the provision is fixed at S1O,O fine
and two years Imprisonment. The
law is good one and it's strict en-
forcement will mean much benefit to
the consumer.

Notwithstanding the prevailing be-
lief that Rockefeller poured barrels of
influence into the United States senate.
that august and highly receptive body
passed the free alcohol bill. The
measure is virtually the same as that
carried through~the house, the senate
amendments improving, rather than
detracting from, it's efficacy. To the
country newspaper is particularly due
the passage of this bill. The country
newspaper knew that the farmer
wanted it; the country newspaper
knew that in order to bring successful
competition to bear against that king
of robbers, the Standard Oil trust. it
was necessary to enact it; the country
newspaper knew that if the bill failed
to pass the senate it would be strong
indication that Rockefeller money had
prevented it. Then the country news
paper went after the senator's. It told
them in no uncertain terms that the
general public demanded that the
measure be passed, and it told them
that their ''goose would be cooked''
should they pigeon-hole the bill.
Thus to thescountry newspaper is due
the largest share. of the credit for the
enactment which, permits, the manu-
facture of free-from-duty alcohol.

Some good people imagine that
Hon. J. F. Jacobson is an extremist,
fre-eating anarchist. In truth Mr..
jacobson is one of the most conserva-
tive of men. He is a man of pro-
nounced convictions. He is not al
ways right, but he means to be right.
In his home town of Madison he has
the confidence of the business men and
is a director of a national bank. Mr..
Jacobson should not be held respon-
sible for the utterances of some of his
alleged friends. He is and always
has been loyal and stalwart repub-
lican and is entitled to and will receive
a square deal in the Duluth conyen-
ton.

The editor of Minneapolis "Tcwn

paper published by the American
Press: 'Of course, I hardly need
say that recognize the difference of
a substantial kind between what is
meant by an endowed press and a
subsidized press" It would be diff
cult to discover anyone who would
dare dispute this assertion of the

perhaps more familiar than he with
the operation of subsidized press.

THE o,coNNoRs AND THE o,DAYs.

THE O'CONNORS and THE O,D4YS.
A St. Paul friend writes us that an
extraordinary meeting of the kitchen
cabinet was held on Friday last at
which the O'Connor was present for
the purpose of devising plans to
counterfeit the bad break of Governor
John wherein he publicly declared
Colonel Bill O'Bryan to be his choice
for president. While both the O'Con-
nor and the O'Day admitted that their
choice was also the O'Bryan, they
deprecated in very pronounced and
in1ammatory terms the action of Gov
ernor John. They called him before
them and asked how he could again
expect the vote of the myriad O. John
sons in the state-who are all repub-
licans, and without the support of
whom his defeat would have been GER
tain-after advocating the candidacy
of O'Bryan, the sixteen-to-o for
the presidency. "You know as we'll
as we d." said ono of the cabinet,
THAT not alone the horde of O. John
sons, but every other Ole in the state
is opposed to O'Bryan." The gov
ernor smiled sickly smile and meekly
remarked: "Mr. O'Day, I thought to
please you by declaring for O'Bryan.
It seems to me I read in your paper
in 1896 that any man who refused to
vote for O'Bryan should be shot be-
fore breakfast!' I am striving to win
the Irish; don't care what the Oles
think. I will get their votes anyhow.
But this trip I must have the Irish
with me. But, goodness knows, you
Irish are cantankerous lot" AS
the kitchen cabinet adjourned Mr..
O'Day was heard to mutter: IT
ought to have known better than to let
John go off to Washington with that
- Rosing.''

If State Fire Marshal Peterson's
figures are correct fire insurance costs
too much in the state of Minnesota.
In proportion to the average paid in
the United States Minnesota has paid
in ten years in round numbers &c.
900, 900 more than her just share of fire
insurance. Mr.. Peterson submits
statistical tables to prove his asser-
tions. The general public, at least
those who are obliged to carry fire in
surance on their property, will credit
the fire marshal's figures. In most
localities the rates are outrageouslv
high. Gov. johnson and his insurance
commissioner, T. D. O'Brien. want il
distinctly understood that they do not
indorse the fire marshal's statements,
and in an interview Mr.. O'Brien talks
as if he were afraid Mr.. Peterson had
done an injustice to the insurance
companies. The solicitude Of the
governor and his chief adviser for the
poor fire insurance companies is truly
pathetic. The present state admins

porate interests in return. we pre-
