The St. Paul Globe has a great deal
of gall to expect us to compliment its

the best one—Mitchell.
The rumor has started the rounds
again that Mr. Blaine is about to make

The Alexandria Journal will give up
its semi-weekly edition and enlarge to a
six column weekly quarto. Just what
advantage there is to a publisher in
running a semi-weekly we have never
been able to understand, and the Jour

a plan which caused added expense
without any extra returns.
John Ingalls says the following, at
tributed to Lincoln by the calamityites,
is a malignant and,clumsy forgery:
As the result of the war corporations
have been enthroned and an era of cor
ruption in high places will follow and
the money power of the country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by work
ing upon the prejudices of the people,
until all the wealth is aggregated in a
few hands and the republic is destroyed.
The admirerB of Doane Robinson,
whose literary star both in prose and
poetic effort has risen very rapidly of
late, have arranged a "Recognition" to
be tendered him in Watertown on the
8th inst. Mr. Robinson's rising fame is
certainly cause not only for his own
gratification but for congratulation to
the town and the state in which he has
done his first work Verily in hi3 case

The fact that the Republicans have,

I hear-with pleasure that the Ohio leg

Host Gorgeous Banqnet Lamps Ever Shorn in Mitchell,
matched, in votes but where, the' Demo
crats have eleven congressman to two
Republican. Politics is the only game
in which underhanded and, dishonest
methods are considered legitimate and
smart, to the shame of both parties be
it said, and until a higher plane is
reached and adhered to there is little
hope for permanent reform. A case im
mediately in point is the existing situa
tion in New York state where the Dem
ocrats are doing their best—or .worst—
to steal the legislature after the Repub
licans have elected a majority of its
members. Another instance nearer at
home was the summary theft of the
seats of several duly elected Repulicans
by the combination in the last South
Dakota legislature while the arbitrary
unseating of southern Democrats by the
last house of representatives, while it
gave the Republicans a temporary ad'
vantage, has worked in the end1 to their
detriment. It were far better to re
verse results and correct abuses at the
polls in a subsequent election than to at
tempt to overturn the judgment of what
appears to be a majority on the face of
the returns.
Isn't it remarkable that the rabid In
dependent organs feel impelled to at
tack every enterprise of a public na
ture? According to the Aberdeen
News:
The national organ of the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, published
at Washington and called the National
Economist, has a furious onslaught on
the government irrigation inquiry, and
denounces irrigation as a scheme of
plunder and speculation.
While the Knights of Labor, Father
Haire's paper, attacks the World's Fair
commission in the following savage
fashion:

A newly elected Democratic congress
man from Indiana expresses himself as
opposed to partisan gerrymandering of
a state, no matter by which party it is
done. He says:

money, to build a plute loafing place at
the Columbian World's Fair at Chicago
next year. Don't give them a cent is
our voice on the subject. Why? First
on general principles. Second, we are
trying to get a beet, sugar factory here
in Aberdeen that will use up 75,000 tons
of- beets and leave at leabt $«i00.000 with
our farmers each and every year.
Sugar factory before a plute loafing

The wonder is that the sugar boot
enterprise receives any consideration,
either.
The Pierre Free Press protests
against the continued discrimination
against tne capital city in favor of
Sioux Falls in the matter of holding
terms of the United States court. The
Free Press says.
In one matter at least the patience
of'Pierre is ceasing to be a virtue. This
is the
semi-occaaional
farce we see ex­
hibited of holding a term of the United
States court in this city.
