STAPLES, Business Manager. A. CASWELL, Editor. I is hard to give up the public teat after forty years of waiting1, talk of a contest. hence this OH, DO! Mille Lacs is not. growing. A little increase of 283 per cent, in ten years isn't worth noticing. HE Anoka Herald says the talk .of a recount by the Democratic officehold ers is a good deal like demanding a duplicate certificate of the death of the deceased. ha IN a little over a montb we will be celebrating the end of one century and the birth of a new. The boys will be excused if they use a little brighter carmine than usual when they go out Jan. 1. MINNEAPOLIS says it has no candi date for speaker of the house, but thinks some other part of the State should secure the honor. Watch the Flour city closelythere's something in the wind. THE fundamental principles of Democracy will never die us long as man is capable of self government.Brainerd Arena. No, but the Democratic party will be too dead to hear Gabriel's trump if it doesn't get back to its "fundamental principles"' pretty soon. DULUTH got after its undesirable population and a howl went up from the Twin Cities. Now Superior is at tempting to cleanse herself and Duluth is mad because the tin-horns and prom enaders have crossed the bay. THERE must be some mistake in the count which gave Ramsey county to Lind in the recent struggle. There are enough Republicans clamoring for places to have carried the State for Yan Sant. Let's have a recount. HE candidacy of Mrs. Franklyn W. Lee, of Rush City, for the position of postmaster of the house during the coming session of the legislature is be ing well received by the press of the State. May the bright little Jady se- cure the honor. BRYAN announces that he will here- after give no newspaper interviews un- less paid for it. As his interviews now will not be considered of much value, his political jawings will not bring in a very large income but the people will enjoy a rest. RUSSIA is a step ahead of the rest of the world in theatrical matters at least. Her policemen see to it that there are no tedious waits between acts and put a stop to much of the un- necessary applause. Now if our police would onlybut why go on? THERE is no escape for China, the powers having apparently decided on a partition. Uncle Sam is in a dilemma. He doesn't know whether to take a position beside the dissecting table or pass his claim up. If he doesn't grab he will stand little chance of collecting his bill. JOHN C. WIS E, SR., the veteran edi tor of the Mankato JBcwoo, has laid down his pen and passed beyond the curtain which hides the future from man's eyes. He had been engaged in the newspaper business in Mankato for forty-two years and his loss will be deeply felt by the fraternity. HE whole trouble over the recount of the votes on governor in Minnesota seems to go back to the sure-thing grafters who bet after the election was over on tips handed them by the Dem ocratic central committee. If they have any cause for action it mustli$ against the Lindocrats and not againstiffamily Capt. VanSant. CHARLEY MITCHELL'S ideas are us ually all right. Here is one we canthan endorse: "Much will be demanded of Capt. Van Sant, but all the people ask is a good, clean, honest, courageous administration. They want "hone&t, capable, business men in charge of af fairs, and merit, business merit and personal integrity must be th'e .re- quirements for office-holdin^^n&t* him, not political debts, t&jpl the man who will recommend for office any man on any ground but absolute fitness and capability, is neither a good citizen, a good Republican, a friend of Mr. Van Sant's nor a man worthy of any con-on consideration." ^3'Kfe T-^IJ&t'WW MINNESOTA Democracy has evi dently forgotten that old Democratic Here is his estimate of Bryan and it is proverb, "to the victors belong the so truthfully put, and from a Demo- spoils," hence the attempt to hang on cratic source too, that we quote it: to the offices. ^UUUU\%^V E TH HE national good roads meeting has decided that the tramps should build the roads. Now that this part is set tled will the members of the conven tion see to it that the tramps do U? ELECTION has been a matter of hist ory for at least two weeks, but neither of the Duluth dailies appear to realize it. Perhaps they are keeping in scrap ping'trim' for the municipal election. H. W. EE says that the true solu tion of the Indian problem is take away government aid and make the Aboriginees earn their own living. This might solve the problem, but its effect would not be half so conclusive as the recipe for making "good Indi ans" furnished by an old Indian fighter. WHENEVER Henri Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, has anything, to say he says it in forcible language. "He is bound to command a certain following. He is bound to speak with a certain authority. And there is in sight no counterbalancing force in case he should persist in regarding his own peculiar views as paramount to all other considerations and should con tinue to adopt the attitude and to claim the prerogatives of a law-giver to his political associates. Some of those views have been exploded by events. Others of them are of doubtful tenure upon the party faith. All of them will bear revision and whether Mr. Bryan be a sagacious party leader, or merely an attractive talking machino, will be disclosed by the sense and judgment or the pragmatism and egotism of hisa future proceeding. Thus it is that his power for harm, in the latter event, will be incalculable, and there is noish way to guard against it, the party can not escape it. Yet still the world moves, and now, as ever, politics is largely a business hinged upon con crete interests, requiring of party lead ers breadth and foresight and self repression, the accurate measurement of facts, and, above all, the wisdom, the genius, of common sense.1' Paragraphs Collected at Our Exchange Table. OLD ALLEN HOPES. Times under the Republican admin istration are lots better than under the Democratic. Under the latter the only kind of bills we saw were board bills and wash bills while now we occasion ally see a dollar bill fluttering in the breeze of prosperity and although they always belong to some other fel low, the sight of them starts a kernel of hope to sprout in the vicinity of our bosom, and makes the sting of the bed bug seem easier to bear as we live in the hope that, some day in the future we may be sole proprietor of a dollar bill. We expeet 'most any day that a delinquent subscriber will wander in, point a dollar bill at us and knock us dock with a feather.Battle Lake i?c- viev $- COUNTRY PAPER'S INFLUENCE. If the country papers are all right it makes very little difference what the city papers think. It is the weekly and not the daily newspapers that form public opinion in this country. We will take Nebraska as an illustration. We have only three dailies in general circulation in Nebraska. Their com bined issues amount to i0,000 copies. We have 600 weeklies with a combined circulation of 600,000 copies. The dailies go to the cities and towns, while the weeklies go to every home in the State. The dailies are scanned while the weeklies are read from the leading editorial to the last advertise ment. The busy merchant takes up hik daily paper, reads the scare heads and then throws it down to sell a cus tomer a pound of nails or a plug of tobacco. The farmer, or, m^e^n^ takes x^^M^/^?l*vu^\Er^^K^SaSlESir"*'Sao e|p$gv lamp is lighted the whole study the paper as if it were a school book. The result is that the country boy of 18 knows more about politics, science, history and literature the ayer*^ellctty man of middle age, andi&Jre country girl has more general, useful information than her city sister will ever have if sheplives to the age of Methuselah-Omo/i 'Nonconformist. ...4i#"r i **4* MISSOURI HOSPITALITY. Ex-Governor Stone, of Missouri, ,so W. E. Curtis tells us, was badly worked in New York. He had the Missouri idea of hospitality, which. Was to Wel come and speed the coming and part ing guest with wet groceries. Hence nearly the whole of Tammany called him with various kinds of informa tion.

Men with unproductive realty hold ings labor to get values for taxation reduced. They work the assessors more or less successfully. They get the State board of equalization to cut off eight or ten million dollars, and they congratulate themselves on their adroitness in escaping taxes. Then the budget come in with its list of es sential expenditures, and the con ference committee meet and add to it for matters indispensible, and the i*ealty holders find that all they have accomplished is to get the. percentage of taxation on valuations increased. They have just as much to pay ^s ever, and have not only advertised the lessened prosperity of their city, with the resultant decrease of its reputation for investments, but they have in creased that factor in taxation, the rate per cent., by which men gauge the size of tax burden. We trust that they are satisfied with what they have accomplished.St-. Paul DispatcJi. THAT PAN-SPANISH CONGRESS. Commerce is not governed by senti ment. The rule that governs com merce is the rule of the best goods at the lowest price. The nation that sells under this rule will never lack customers. Sentiment may enter into commerce in so far that, where a man can buy at an equal advantage from two or more different sources, he may let his sentiment decide the choice but that is about all. It would take an exceedingly strong sentiment to make merchant buy at a disadvantage. And so, in spite of all the fine talk and lofty enthusiasm, the great pan-Span congress is a very^ doubtful quan tity. If Spanish commerce can meet the competition of other countries good and wellthis congress, may have a limited effect. If not, why then it will turn out as a mere flash in the pan, a sort of ssy rocket performance and nothing more.St. Paul Globe. LET'S GO BACK TO MUTTON. tinction Herald.
