is in the hands of the governor, but in

to the constitution and the governor

seems to be rapidly neari ng an end
despite the encouragement of the
American Tagals.
FUNSTON captured Aggy after a
hard hike through Luzon and the reg-
ular army officers enjoying soft snaps
in Washington immediately took up
the cudgels to belittle the affair. The
pink tea hero, Gen. Corbin, even went
so far as to say it was beneath a gener-
al's dignity, being simply the work of
a scout. A few more scouts in the reg-
ular army and a few less dudes would
be a change which the people would
welcome.
ARMY frauds are said to have been
discovered in the Philippines, the com-
missary department being charged
with crookedness. A full examination
of the affairs of this department should
be made at and the chages are

charges are fdund to be true no punish-
ment is too severe. Any man who
will steal the rations of the rank and
file, is too mean to associate with his
fellow man.

time by passing up their conventions.
However it is several days yet before
the nominations will be made and we
will wait Remembering the fall of
several of the popular idols the people
will not hurry in making their choice.

GEN. LEE KNOWS.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee says "The Phil-
ippines are ours by treaty and their
future, so far as the United States is
concerned, should be fully determined
by congress after, and not before, the
armed resistance to the authority of
the United States has ceased." The
United States, it will be remembered,
secured the consent -of Gen Lee and
some millions of other Americans to its
government by the vigorous use of a
club and he doesn't seem to think the
Tagals are any better than he is.

SHOULD BE ADOPTED.
The bill now before the legislature
providing for the adoption of the "Tor-
rens" system of land titles is one which
should become a law. Under this sys-
tem a person owning real property
could secure a State certificate showing
that its title is vested- absolutely in
him, and the whole system of compli-
cated abstracts and examinatio ns of
abstracts would be avoided. All that
a land owner has to do in order to se-
cure this certificate is to make applica-
tion to a court to be established for
the purpo'se of registering.titles, and
that court will declare wh at his title is
and "what are the liens, incumbrances
or otb^qualifications which may ex-
ist as against an Absolute unincum
bered title in fee simple. The court is
also authoiized to remove all clouds on
the title." The State would then bet jn jdfence.Buffalo Gazette
a position to guarantee the title, and
subsequent transfers would rest on this
guarantee. The system is one whieh
in Canada, Australia and elsewhere is
found to work admirably.Owatonna

HERO WORSHIP.
General Funston has done very well,
indeed, but candor compels the admis-
sion that after Hobson, the Dewey
house, the Sampson-Schley contro-
versy, and the Roosevelt bears and
lions, the country is cloyed with the
hero business.Pittsburg Press.
AGUINALDO'S AMERICAN FRIENDS.
What shall be the punishment of his
American sympathizers and abettors
who constructed for him a "cause"
built upon falsehood and fraud? Noth-
ing except the lasting contempt of
their fellow countrymen but that will
suffice.New York Comma eial-Adver-
tiser.

A TAX CHANGE.
A bill is before the Minnesota legisla-
ture that provides for the assessing of
coal companies in November instead of
in May. The reason for this is obvi-
ous In May there is a comparatively
small amount of coal 'in the hands of
the coal companies in Minnesota,
while in Novembei nearly the full
stock is at the head of the lakes
be sure the bulk of tius coal has prob-
ably been contracted for. and it is
likely that mu ch of it has already been
assessed at the mines or on the eastern
shipping docks, but if this bill becomes
a law, Minnesota will make the coal
companies pay larger taxes even if
they in turn take it out of the pockets
of the citizens of the State by adding
that much to the price of coal,Lum-
berman.

PLATT HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD.
Mr. Piatt secured the removal of Mr.
Roosevelt from Sta te politics by mak-
ing him vice-president, because Teddy
was not plastic enough to suit the boss.
It looks now as if he will have to find
some other place for Governor Odell

SEVERAL "IFS."
If the Democrat ic party ever suc-
ceeds in persuading the business man
that free silver will help business, and
persuades the laboring man that free-
trade \#}ll .help wjges, and persis^flej^
the colored man that is betted off
without the ballot than with it, and
convinces the soldiers that their blood
and bravery have been spent vain,
then that party may have some chance
of winning an election. Bat it will
take something more than Editor Wil.

A CURIOUS COMMITTEE.
They have a curious investigating
committee in the legislature. The
chairman, instead of investigating,
wanted to wait until somebody came to
him with charges. W had always
supposed that an investigating com-
mittee was one which went out and in-
vestigated, called in witnesses, exam-
ined them and went to the bottom of
things. The way to investigate is to

WOULD DISCOVER A DIFFERENCE.
W were amused at reading a para-
graph recently in one of the metropol-
itan dailies to the effect that it is the
duty of a newspaper, as well as to its
interest to publish all the news without
regard to what the editor or publisher
might fancy to be its probable eftect.
In other words, he has nothing to do
with the consequences. This is a
most excellent theory for the editor of
a city daily, who sits perched up in a
little room thirte en stories above the
busy world but let our distinguished
city friend try a country weekly, put
is theory into practice, and if h^e does
not have something to do with the con-
sequences it will be because he is a
better sprinter than most of his breth-
ren of the country press.Dickinson
Recorder.
GIVING LFGAL, ADVICE.
Somebody has proposed a law that
a ny person, not a lawyer, volunteer-
ing advice on leg al matters, be pun-
ished. This might be a good^ law.
And if it made punishable the giving
gratis of leg al advice by lawyers,
especially where unasked, and made
it a crime punishable by a long
term in the penitentiary for lawyers
who give wrong advice, or cite laws
out of date, or that are misleadin g, and
who purposely seek to breed discord
among people, or mislead justices,
juries, village councils and others, it
would in some cases be a blessing to
communities, And up to date, reliable,
