That is the quickest way to end a feud.

It is to be hoped that the people of Michigan will be satisfied to retain their favorite in a him on the general public. If the State of Michigan likes that kind of man, Gen Alger is just the kind of man that will suit them E\E RY time there is a gathering of Democrats for any purpose, there is a new platform on trusts enunciated. There isn't a Democrat in the United States who can offer, or who ha? of fered, any acceptable or practical solu tion of the trust question, and there isn't a Democrat in the United States who isn't ready, at a moment's notice, to load up his shot gun with glittering generalties and fire off a broadside into the woods. When the Republi can party meets in convention the pub lic will hear something intelligent and practical on the trust question and not until then. IT seems after all that Gen* Alger contributions from the campaign fund has a certain local following in the if William J. Bryan is the party's State of Michigan, judging from the presidential nominee next year. The Bryanites will find it up-hill business running a campaign without money, and plenty of it.

La., have lynched a small job lot of Italians, and the government is called upon to pay indemnity to the surviving relatives. Before the government acquiesces in this demand it should carefully peruse the communication addressed by James G. Blaine to the Italian government upon the occasion of a similar demand by the same government when the cit izens of New Orleans sent the devil a complimentary cargo of the same class of cattle a few years ago. If the Ital ian government places such a high value upon its thugs it should be in vited to keep them at home, and real ize upon their live bodies, instead of sending them over here with the ex pectation of getting something out of their dead carcasses. HE State administration is making the mistake of its life if it imagines No ONE has. pretended to say that vinced that the more the governor ex periments the further he will get him self into the mire. If there is a de partment in the State which should be Hogg had anything to do with 'Root" in the war department THK death of Col Tngersoll suggests conducted solely wfth reference to the xkmbcmt. several thoughts, but none more pain- fitness and qualifications of those in its ful than this If he was could not go to heaven, and if he was right he could not go to hell wrong he employ, that department is the grain nspection bureau. Anything short of an absolutely rigid system of inspec tion is wprse than no inspection at all, for it involves all the expense of a good inspection without offering any of its benefits. The value of an in spection certificate depends upon the confidence of the prospective buyer that the grain covered by the certifi cate is of the character stated in it. Under the system that has been in vogue for some years these certificates of inspection have been accepted un questioningly by buyers in Minnesota, and at the terminal points East. If the department is made a mere politi cal machine no such value will be placed upon its certificates, and the re sult will be that all grain will be bought by sample instead of, as at present, on certificates of inspection Such a change would involve an ex pense to the producer which would reach, perhaps, on an average, five cents a bushel, and such an expense would represent a direct loss to the farmers of hundreds of thousands of dollars. If Gov. Lind desires to sub stitute that kind of a commission for the one we have had it is his privilege to do so, but he cannot escape the con sequences. Nobody cares whether the chief of that department be A. C. Clausen or A. C. Somebody Else, or whether he is a Republican, a Demo crat, a Populist or a Methodist. No man can perform the duties of the of fice without a knowledge of the busi ness and the experience in handling gram HE Democratic leaders are looking around for a man with $2,000,000 to start a daily free silver paper in Chi cago. That recalls the letter of the Georgia lumberman who wrote to a Chicago firm inquiring what the fii\m could fui nish him a saw mill for. The firm wrote back that it could supply him an outfit for $2,000. His reply came quick and to the point "If I had $2,000 what in h1 would I want with a saw mill in Georgia'^" Paragraphs Collected at Our Exchange Table. t-w- BRYAN'S DIFFICULTIES. .tnctly local capacity, and not inflict see any use of contributing to a lost urn on the general public I the causebesides, most of them are now The wealthy eastern Democrats are already threatening to withhold their engaged in gold mining and making Minneapolis Tribune. that Republicans are specially inter- be higher this year than last an$ if the ested in the retention of any Republi- crops all ripen at once it is goiagT to be scan ^n the gra^n inspection depart- difficult, unless there is an influx of ment*.

ZEKE NEGLECTED TO STATE THIS. "Zeke" Austin, the Pop ranter, says under Republican rule the people are permitted to make a lot of "honey" and they think times are good but when they get the "honey" made the "money devil" shuts down on them and robs the Jive. Zeke could have added that the "shut down" always comes with the advent of the Democratic 4?arty.Menahga Messenger. SIGNS OF PROSPERITY. A scarcity of help is already noted in all lines of industry and especially of farm hands, and unless there are more laborers to be obtained the pros pects are that the farmers will be short handed during harvest.

ADAM'S ADDRESS TO THE BEHOYS. Say, you fellows of the press, IT you have said anything meair about us, don't go around feeling bad about it, for we don't And if you have said something good, we wish to thank you for it even though virtue is its own sufficient reward. And if we haven't reproduced what you said it isn't be cause of modesty or lack of apprecia tion on our part, but because our Christmas tree was already full. Be of good cheer, whatever betides you, for some day we shall all crawl out of earthly cocoon into the glory world, and when the crop of crowns gets ripe you shall each have one, and a throne ah to yourself, and wings too, and a fly time.

Wages have gone way up too high for the employer, no in dustry can find men enough, men are quitting all kinds of good jobs every day, for better ones, and the small producer of every kind of material don't have to take a small prioe for anything the market is too good. The administration, out of courtesy, should call off its prosperity for a little while anyhow, to give the Dems time and courage to get volunteers enough to make up a ticket, or there'll be no "play" on for 1900.Deer River News. $- $- $- i ALVAH GETS VIGOROUS.
