Country papers please copy. Tue HeERALD-REVIEW notes in some of its exchanges the advent of Harry Hazlett to Park Rapids, where he will shortly establish a paper—The Clipper. If this is the same Harry Hazlett whom we knew in Iowa in our boyhood days, we have no hesi- tency is promising the people of Hub- bard county the best paper that has yet been published thereaway. It will make the dry bones of the Enter- prise rattle to keep apace with the Clipper. The HERALE-REVIEW notes with pleasure that Comptroller Eckles re- turned to Washington very much dis- appointed with the political con- ditions and sentiments which he found 1n Illinois among the Demuc- racy. His opinion is that Gov. Altgeld is in absolute control of the state machine and will be engineer- in-chief at the Peoria convention on June 23. He says that Altgeld may not desire a gubernrtorial nomina- tion, but the chances are that he will be able to dictate where it shall go. The Lllinvis Democracy is evidently up with the times and does not pro- pose to be dictated to by the Cleve- land-Carlisle company, limited. ‘THE editor of the Park Rapids En- terprise knows less and says more concerning the currency question than any uther manipulator of the shears and paste pot that we know of. He hashes and rehashes a few old stereotyped lies—produced from Shy- lock’s school—lies long since explod- ed—and produces and _ reproduces them on the editorial page of his paper with a flaunt and flourish that has no dobut led him to believe by this time that he is really a writer on economie subjects. The HERaLp- Review has a real sympathy for those puny little fellows who howl them- selyes hoarse in behalf of the few money kings of the world—kings who today rule to ruin all interests throughout the civilized world save that of gold. It sometimes looks as though ‘all the world’s a puppet” and the money-power will pull the string forever. THE esteemed Aitkin Republican acknowledges the corn. In other words it bears testimony to the well known fact ‘that if you see it in the HERALD-REVIEw it’s so,” ;,by ad- mitting the truth of the Herap- ReEviEw’s assertion that the Republi- can’s advice was regarded by its own party very much as the small boy re- gards castor oil—as something to be taken only on compulsion. The Re- publican goes on to inform us that it has no favorite among the Aitkin aspirants for legislative honors. That must bea fact, for the Republican must know. Anditis also a crown- ing mercy, for which the aspirants in question no doubt sent up fervent thanks to the giver of all good things, Jast Thursday night. They are all veryeworthy gentlemen, and deserv- ing of a better fate than having the sun of political fruition shut off from their sprouting hopes, by the upas- shade of the Republican’s support. WHERE DOES HE STAND? The action of the Democratic county con- vention last Saturday in instructing the Aitkin Sgn delegation to vote and work for Hon, T. K. Foley for delegate to the National Democratic convention from the Sixth district wasa graceful and deserved compliment to that gentlemen, who is a life- long Democrat and an active worker in the ranxs. His popularity is evidenced by the fact that he e only Democrat ever elect- ed to the legislature trom the 53d district, defeating so strong aman as W. R. Baum- bach, of Wadena, in 1890, The A ers to see vur neighboring counties fall int ine and give “Our Tom” a good cacy.—Aitkin age. What the HEerRaLp-Review wants to know—and must insist upon know- ing —is: where does Mr. Foley stand on Abe financial question? The Wemocracy proposes to send a_ free silver delegation to Chicago, and if Mr. Foley is in line for free silver he is otherwise well qualified and the Sixth district would make no mistake in giving hima unanimous endorse- ment. send off in his candi- OILED IT DOWN, JERRY J. Ovr worthy friend Jerimiah J., of the Minneapolis Journal, indulged in a two column evolution of a most fiendish-appearing bogie mana, last week, which creation he labeled Bill SMerriam, and then proceeded to lam- sbast the stuffing out of his own ‘Frankenstein, in a style to make the great Ignatius Donnelly turn green with envy.

The figures compiled from the U. S. census returns of 1890 by State Com- missioner of Labor Powers are about as good campaign ammunition as our OUR PREACHER. Hy. capa wenaiene nate PURPOSE.” 't has often amused the Preacher, who is of a somewhat cynical turn of mind, to hear men complain of the way municipal and county business is conducted; to hear them declare that taxation is outrageous; that it isa shame and a disgrace that such a state of affairs should be allowed to exist, and then to see them calmly assist in perpetuating it. ge ee Be it borne in mind that the Preacher’s remarks have no local ap- plication, but are of a general tenden- cy—present company is always ex- cepted in passing compliments. Yet it is a fact as well known as costly to the American peoplo, that the man- agement of city and county affairs is as a general thing, in hands which regard public office as a private snap and something to be sought after for what there is in it and not from any desire to serve the public honestly, and hands moreover well qualified to extaact ‘‘all there is in it,” and a little more besides. hort, cause, there must be some cause for Now, as every effect must havea ae Broeker _& Dallier THE FRANK PEOPKE, MERCHANT TAILOR.

American capital—under the “existing gold standard” — is avoiding American investments. It is seeking South America, Japan and Mexico. During the past two or three years American capital has been going into Mexico mines, railways and lands at a rate with which the publec is by this time thoroughly familiar. The latest notable movement of American capital to Mexico is that of the in- vestment of a large block of Chicago money in a probosed mammoth Mex- ican hotel. ‘The Chicago, men will put up a $700,000 hotel of 300 rooms and all moden conveniences and will place Americans in charge. ‘There is scarcely a field of Mexican investment into which American and European capital. has not entered during the past year orso. And yet the mainstay of the gold standard school is the argument that free eurer will drive away capital.—Penny Tess Wireless Telegraphy. Tesla, the inventor, claims that it is possible to telegraph without the use of wire, using what he calls the “sympathetic current.” In that event if he succeeds in unearthing the pro. cess, the whole institution of tele- graphy will be revolutionized Neither wires nor other agencies are needed to tell the people that the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad oflers the best and most popular rout ‘between St. Paul, Duluth, Minneapolis, West Superior Stillwater, Tayler’s Falls and. other points, as the sympathetic current of general favor has made the fact patent enough for everybody. For years it has had the lead, because of its fine equipment, its picturesque environ- ment, the beauty of the summer re- sorts along its right of way, and the yaines it takes to cater to the comfort of its thousands: of patrons. Its fast trains, comfortable and up to date, runs speedily at convenient hours through the most interesting portion of the Northwest, making close con- nections at handsome terminals with trains and boats running in all directions. Hence, it it is a line that appeals to the busness man, the tour- ist and the humeseeker, and the man who is once a patron is always a pat- ron.

Among the most noticeable, most Nyeish and most apropos is the following: A man may use a wart on the back of his neck for acollar button; ride on the backcoach of a train to save in- terest on his money until the con- ductor comes around; stop his watch at night to save the ware and tear; leave his ‘i? and “‘t” without a dot or cross to save his ink; pasture his mother’s grave to save corn; but a man of his kind is a gentleman and a scholar compared to a fellow who will take a newspaper, and when asked to pay for it puts it into the post-office and has it marked, ‘‘Refused.” News! news! news! It’s enough to give a_ man the “blues.” Nobody married and nobody dead; nobody broken an arm or head; nobody comes in to talk of the‘‘crap;’’ no one got boo- zy and started to scrap; no one got run in for taking a horn; nobody buried.and nobody born.
