Tne HERALD-REVIEW notes with satisfaction that a profound peace broods over the Clough and anti- Clough factions of the Republican party in Minneapolis. The peace, however, is not the peace of God, but rather of the Limerick variety. To get a good idea of a profound Irish peace, you should tie two Thomas Cats’ tails together and suspend them from a clothes line. Tur HeRALD- Review acknowl- edges the receipt of a copy of the First Annual Report of the Chief Fire Warden of Minnesota, and finds ita volume well worthy of perusal. The subject of forest preservation is one in which our people are deeply in- terested, and it would well repay them to uphold Warden Andrews’ hands in his work by every means in their power. Tue typos of the twin cities have been on a strike this week, and the great dailies of these cities have been presenting a most alarming appear- ance in consequence, ’Tis said they have been gotten out by the efforts of the scribes mostly, and they look that way certainly. It must have beena sight for gods and men to see Joe Wheelock manufacturing ‘‘pi;” Pyle “throwing in; McLain ‘sticking type;” Woodbridge in the ‘‘ad alley;” Pegler “making-up,” and Jerry J. “‘washing rollers.” The boys have our sympathy, but life is not all “beer and skittles,” and ‘through much tribulation we enter the king- dom of Heaven.” CONGRESSMAN TOWNE has returned to Duluth from Washington. He was enthusiastically received by his friends and a public demonstration ensued in which, it is reported, five thousand people participated. He delivered an address in which he used this language concerning the cur- rency question: ‘If any man thinks “TI will seek to secure a re-election to “congress or any other office by a re- “cantation of my opinions, let him “disabuse his mind of that idea at “once, I had rather be right than be “a member of congress from this dis- ‘trict.”” These be the brave words of of a brave man—a declaration that with him principle is paramount to office—and the people will honor him for hurling defiance full in the face of the time-serving politicians who have tried so hard to force him to an aban- donment of a free silver stand. OCCASIONALLY a Republican journa] will unblushingly state that the Me: Kinley high protective law furnished athe government ample means to run the Ship of State, when the facts are that the big surplus turned over to President Harrison by Cleveland at the end of his first term was made away with, and the treasury bankrupt before Harrison’s administration was over. Itis history that the McKin- ley law did not meet the expenses of the Harrison administration, and that Secretary of the Treasury Foster, started to do what President Cleve- land has had to do again and again during his present term of office— issue bonds in order to maintain the credit of the country. And, gentle reader, when some partisan - blind radical denies this, and with a show of indignation tells you it is a Demo- cratic yarn made out of whole cloth, call his attention to the following letter to the Chief of the Bureau of Engraving written by Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster only two weeks before Grover Cleveland last took possession of the White House. It is one of those bomb shells that goes hissing through the sanks of Re- publicans and scatters death and de- iction among them: sury Department, Office of the S Washington, D, . 20, 1893, Sir:— e hereby authorized and directed to » designs for the 3 per cent bonds pro- nate amendment to the sun- il now pending. ‘The denomina- 1 should first receive attention .and 1000s of thecupon bonds and and 10,000s of the registered bonds. authority is given in advance of the tment in view of the pressing -contin- d you are directed to “hasten the n of the designs and plates in ble manner. 2 se at snemorandum for your guidance in preparing the scrip. for the body of the nd. Respectfully yours, CHARLES FosfER, Secretary. The nation was financially bank- rupt when Cleyeland took the chair Lbree years ago last March. As the law stands at present there gan be no organization of the county of Beltrami, and unlegs the next legis- lature makes provision for the amend: ment of the present law it will be im- possible to organize it for four years to come, when there will be at least three good and enterprising candi- Aates for the county seat. Bemidji now has the whirl, but Bagley dam and Clearwater lake will be in the ring, as will also some point in the Black Duck country. Fosston will welcome them all.—Thirteen Towns. Tue Aitkin Republican has thrown open its columns for communications on legislative matters, and as candi- dates for the house the names of J. M. Markham, Dr. Graves and Commo- dore Lowell have been suggested. All three of them are good men, but what | is the matter with D.M.Gunn? He’s all right, too.—Wadena Pioneer. A New African Map. There must be a new map of Africa, and several of theEuropean pcwers are anxious to show how it should be done- England has made several attemps to change the line, and Germany is not averse to doing something of the same sort, while France would feel very. much insulted were she left out of it. However, as long as Minnesota and the Northwest remains as attractive as they are people don’t care much what happens to Africa. Africa is nota summer resort, while summer > resorts innumerable dot the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad, whichis the boonies popular route between St. Paul. Min- neapolis, Duluth, West Superior, Stillwater, Taylor's Falls and other Northwestern points of importance Its fast trains are always fitted with the latest and most approved equipment and run at conveniet times through a most picturesque and fruit- ful regions, makes close connection at handsome terminals with trains and boats running in all directions. Its facilities and its admirable service have for years made it the popular route between the points named, so that the beable always use the Duluth Short ine.
