HE great panic of a fortnight ago
on the stock exchange appears to have
had no bad effect on trade. Stock
activity continues acid the outlook is
splendid. There was a time not many
years ago when there would have been
a financial crash\which would have
'''staggered humanity-" had such a panic
occurred.
BRAINERD is making preparations to
entertain the Third regiment in a
splendid manner when it arrives at
that city next month. A fund is being
raised to defray the expenses of put
ting the camp ground in condition and
for reception besides. This enterpris
ing town never does things by halves
and the bovs naturally anticipate a
very enjoyable visit.
AFT ER discussing the proposed amal
gamation of the Democratic and Pop
ulist forces of the State, the Minne
apolis Journal says that the Democrats
have been kicking people out of their
party for the last five years in the
hope that at length a "harmonious
remainder" might be secured. It then
calls upon Editor Johnson, or any
other good political mathematician to
divulge just how large this remainder
will be.
^COL-JfAN HORNE says that the effect
of abolishing the canteen at his post
has been to transform Fort Sheridan
into a prison. A Chicago divine was
appointed by his brethren to investi
gate the conditions and when he stated
in introducing his report that he be
lieved that the canteen should be rein
stated, they would hear no more and
passed a resolution favoring the pres
ent conditions. The preachers and
the army officers are having a bad time
with the canteen question.
HIBBING had a little fire the other
day, a loss of $1,700 This is the bare
fact but behind it lies a tale of heroism
that would not have been surpassed
had the loss been multiplied a thou
sand times In the little building de
stroyed were stored fourteen cases of
dynamite and when this fact became
known all but four of the fire-fighters
and spectators fled. These four re
mained and while some of them fought
fire the otaers secured the dynamite
and carried it to a place of safety. But
for their heroic conduct a hole in the
ground would probably maris the spot
where Hibbing stands and hundreds
would ha\e been mourning for loved
ones.
BUFFALO extremists are endeavor
ing to close the exposition on Sundays
and will invoke the aid of the "blue
laws'" which have long been inoper
ative. The chances are that after
the} ha\e made monKeys of them
selves for a season they will come to
their senses and things will move along
as of yore. If these people really wish
to keep visitors from evil it is better
for them to allow the Sunday opening
instead of attempting to force them to
attend church. The visitors wont do
it unless they want to and the chances
are ten to one -that if the exposition is
closed a majority will go somewhere
where the influences run counter to
those of the church.

ADMITS THE DEAD ISSUE.
Mr. Bryan, in a recent edftorial Irf
his Commoner, says he still adheres to
the Omaha platform, which\must mean
,%hat he is still for the free coinage of
ilver at the ratio of 16 to 1. If this is
rue, the great- mass of his admirers
fand followers are not with him. They
are forced by the progress of events to
admit that free silver is a dead issue.
{The increasing output of gold is alone
enough to make it a dead issue. There
is plenty of money now and everybody
knows it. The reform forces must
drop free silver if they ever hope to
win.Hutchinson Independent.
"INDUCEMENT" SEEKERS.
It is cheap and easy to sneer at par
tisan newspapers, but you always know
where the honest partisan newspapers
are, while many of those professing
independence can only be located after
they have ascertained which side has
the most inducements to offer.Biexo

AN ASTONISHING COMFORT.
"A dispatch, colored for the benefit
of the administration, says that the ex
ports of Porto Rico have lahen off
since the hurricane. Why not tell the
truth and say that they have fallen off
since American rule" obtained in the
island?" Thus does the St. Paul Globe
reftlge to admit the great hurricane of
1899 into any partisanship of Porto
Rican sources of woe. It is astonish
ing what comfort some American
journals seem to take in representing
their country as an oppressor of man
kind.Duluth News-Tnbune

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
When the great nations of Europe
shall reduce their military and naval
establishments to the same size, in
proportion to population, a9 those of
the United States, and shall thus be
enabled to use in productive industry
the millions of men and oceans of
treasure now devoted to the mainte
nance of a worse tnan useless pageantry,
then, and not till then, will they, in
combination, be able to compete with
our country with any shadow of suc
cess then, and not till then, will
America listen with alarm to reports
of trade alliances against her.Pioiteei

CAPT. WHITNEY'S OPINION
The question of congressional candi
dates is too remote to permit of satis
factory discussion, but I am inclined to
take exception to the claim of a dis
tinguished political leader of the dis
trict that location or geography will
cut no figure, especially under the new
election law. If Mr. Eddy is a candi
date he will receive support from his
old counties where he is best kaown,
as against any man in the new counties
of his district. If Senator Young is a
candidate, he will have the votes from
the counties in his immediate vicinity,
and so with Lieutenant Governor
Smith. If Speaker Dowling is a can
didate, the people who best Know him,
in the old Second district counties, will
certainly vote for him. The primary
election law is likely to be an eye
opener to many an old politician.

THE DAY IS COMING.
Sooner or later the Southern men
who are Republicans in all essential
beliefs will break away from the Dem
ocratic organization. They will vote
as they think, not as ancient prejudice
compels them. It will be a grand good
thing for the country when there is a
strong Republican party with white
leaders in all the Southern states.

PATS THE GOVERNOR.
The Independent will not congratu1
late Governor Van Sant he does not
need it along witn the clear conscience
he must have. But the Independent
does congratulate Minnesota on having
such a governor. From the time that
Governor Van Sant was sworn in to
the present moment he has made a
spotless record of duty performed
without fear or favor. He has done
the right thing in the right place
every time, and some of the problems
which came before him would have
tested the wisdom of the best states
men. The Independent, knowing the
history of Minnesota, feels secure in
saying that the piesent record main
tained the rest of his term will easily
mark Mr Van Sant as the best gov
ernor the State ever had. Winona In
