Mr. Bines is not a meddler. Brainerd may boast of her Bush, but in "Gunboat Smith" Milaca has a bigger man than Bush. We have forgotten the name of the ex-oil inspector who aspires to go to congress from the Tenth district. But he is not going, anyway.

Old Two-Strike, the veteran Sioux chief, is dead, and the baseball clubs of the country have ordered their charters draped in crepe for 30 days' Well, Miss Jessie Wilsen married the choice of her heart, Francis B. Sajre, and the Union extends its congratulations to the young people. "The currency bill is on its last lap," sa\s the Duluth Herald. I would be better, perhaps, for theisted country at large were it on its last legs. It is a safe bet that there will be a few political developers present at the meeting of the Northern Minne sota Development association at Be-impartially midji this week. A headline in a daily reads, "Con gressmen Stirred by Egg Prices More likely by the eggnog which they took into their systems on Thanksgiving day. Turkey, amounting in weight to 25,000 pounds, was condemned in Philadelphia as unfit for food. In Minneapolis it would probably have brought fancy prices. It is said that fi\e men at Glaston bury, Conn., died from "eating" squiriel The press dispatch prob ably erred in using the word eating instead of "drinking." State Auditor Iverson is now a full-fledged gubernatorial candidate for the republican nomination, as he paid his $50 tiling fee to the secretary of state on Monday. Startling news from Mexico Fed erals in flight constitutionalists in flight. Zapatistas in flight Mader lstas in flight Sons of guns appear to be afiaid of their own shadows.

They tell us there is a remittent form of deafness which baffles doctors. Probably the kind that at tacks father when mother requests him to "dig up" for the Christmas presents.

A Miss Louise Lind, recently ar rived in this country from Europe, is of the .opiniori that dogs have souls. She asserts "it Is just as reasonable to admit that animals have immortal souls as that we have Perhaps Miss Lind may beUnited right. Who knows? Captain Batson, U. S. A.f has deand vised and built a 12-winged aero plane with which, he says, he can cross the Atlantic in 18 hours. He stands just as much show of flying across the herring pond with this machine as the modern henrietta would by the aid of her 18-winged hat. Chief Troyex Duluth^ecom mends the establishment}-of a school for policemen. Were Mr. Troyer chief of the Minneapolis police force such a recommendation would not have surprised us. But Duluth Agents of the department of justice recently arrested General Zelaya, former president of Nicara gua, in New York upon the charge of murdering two of his countrymen. AH the presidents of South Ameri can republics appear to be tarred with the same stick. The Scranton, Pa., Times has beaten all the big papers of the country by installing a system of wireless telegraphy on the Lacka wanna railroad by which passengers may read news bulletins from all parts of the world as the train speeds on at the rate of 60 miles an hour. More power to the Times. A sweeping investigation of cold storage conditions throughout the United States has been begun by the federal department of justice. From the stuff which is marketed by some of the cold storage plants such an in vestigation is evidently necessary, but whether it will result in anytor benefit to the consumer is a ques tion. There may be defects in Senator Cashman's distance tariff law but it should have a fair trial. The lawBines aims to correct abuses that have ex for years and injuriously affected the interests of many of theposition towns and cities of the state. If there are flaws in the law they can be corrected. The spirit and intent of the law is just and, as far as practicable, its provisions should be enforced. Prof. Hansen has brought a lot of fat-tailed sheep to this country from Asia If the species is propagated it should have the effect of reducing the high cost of tallow. It is not, perhaps, generally known that in their natural habitat, north of Tur kestan, these sheep have small wagons attached to them upon which thev carry their tails. Give us the fat-tailed sheep in preference to the fat-headed man. Twenty-two nations were repre sented at the Pan-American services held in St. Patrick's church, Wash ington, on Thanksgiving day andschool Mr. Bryan thinks it is a good indica tion of universal peace. We take it as a mere indication of the desire of the representatives of the foreign governments to show their good will by observing an 'American custom. So far as an indication of uni\ersal peace is concerned Mr. Bryan is, as usual, at sea. A writer on conditions in Mexico tells us that the underlying cause of the revolution in that southern re public is the discontent existing among the peons To a person study ing the situation at this distance the prime cause for the disorders would seem to be the political ambi tions of the leaders of several fac tions of cutthroats, each vieing with the other to gain supremacy. The peons have either to do as they are bid or be garotted. Five Jewish scholars are now en gaged, at Cincinnati, in translating the bible from original manuscripts. A true translation of the bible would place it among "the best The good book has been revised so many times .that it is whether much of its origin ality remains. The learned Jewish rabbis of today are, in our opinion, fully competent to interpret the bible and give such interpretation in a strictly literal sense. Emmeline Pankhurst has gone back to "oP Lurinon" with $20,000 collected from ithe soft-heads of the States to assist her and her horde of she-devils in continuing' their diabolical crusade against law order. Holloway jail yawns for Emmeline,who has broken her parole,and may she be thrust back into a cell and prevented for ever more from preying upon the poor fools in the United -States whom she led to believe were, by their contri butions, helping the cause of woman suffrage. i *~4? %if"t Xi Hon. Henry Bines of Mora, speaker of the house of representa tives, filed for the republican nomi nation for state auditor Monday. That he will be nominated and HON. HENRY RINES elected is a foregone conclusion. That he is amply qualified for the position goes without saying. For ten years he served as county auditor of Kanabec county and he was a thoroughly competent county audi he has also had a large legisla tive experience and is conversant with state affairs. No one has ever questioned his integrity. He will make an ideal state auditor. It thas been intimated that Mr. has formed an alliance with A St Cloud boy secured a small game license from the auditor of Sherburne county together with a circular purporting to give, among other things, the date when musk rats could be legally trapped The circular was presumed to have been prepared by the game and fish com mission. The boy, pursuant to the information conveyed in the circular, trapped a few muskrats after Novem ber 15. A game warden arrested him and he was fined $20the musk rat season legally opens December 1. The boy acted in good faith on the^ misinformation contained in the cir cular and was morally guilty of no wrong. The fellow who sent out the misinformation should make good to the boy the amount of the fine. But he won't. Again the Union inquires of what ^benefit isjf^011*0' the game and fi'sh commission to the people of the state,of Minnesota as a whole? When Huerta, at a redeht recep tion, "fell upon O'Shanghnessy^s neck" the inference may be gathered that the dictator was either' drunk or that he was testing the latest hold in jiu jitsu taught him by his Japanese trainer. At any rate O'Shaughnessv felt much relieved when Huerta. fell off again. According to Senator Owen the delay in passing the currency bill is costing the country $5,000,000 a day. Even at that it would probably be better for the country Were the de lay continued indefinitely, or at least until Wilson is scrapheaped.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston has called a meeting in Washington on the 18thuntil mst. to discuss whether it is possible to import potatoes from European countries and at the same time guard against the powdery-scab. It does seem as if no chances should be taken. Potato-raisers have enough to contend against now without in curring any further risks. The im portation of potatoes from countries where it is known the tubers are disease-infected should not be per mitted. Such potatoes would be dear at any price. The congressmen of the northwestern states should lodge a vigorous protest with the secretary of agriculture. Colonel Boosevelt has been badly snubbed down in Colombia. His pictures in some instances have been beheaded and in others turned to the wall. Colombia consuls, minis ters and residents in other American countries have been instructed to take no part in any receptions given to the colonel and to absolutely ig nore him. And all this feeling has been stirred up by* reason of reports circulated by Colmobians in high places that Boosevelt's mission^ to is to annex the whole of the continent ^to the tfnited Statfes.
