TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Six Months ..... $1.00 | Three Months....,...! 500 ree — SS Entered in the postofice at Grand Rapids Minnesota. a8 second-class matter. rn Mr. SEORETARY OLNEY and Sir Julian Pauncefote, representing the United States and «Great. Britain, respectively, have signed on agree- ment whereby the ~people of both countries are now at liberity to ex- change courtesies: and play in-each other's back yard in a very pleasant manner. THE St.Paul Dispatch has long been laboring to establish for itself the reputation of heing the most con- temptible and characterless paper in the state, and its efforts have placed it beyond the reach of any rival in that direction. It long since s:rpassed the proscribed Pioneer Press and to- day the Dispatch stands out alone as the mos* abandorved. political strum- pet in Minnesota. THarT the house of representatives indulged.in a wordy scrap the other day over the promulgation of an order to the sergeant-at-arms t@ arrest absent members and bring them be- fore the bar of the» house, need not cause any general alarm. If the matter threatens to continue in- terminably the senate might pass a resolution recognizing the belliger- ency of the house. SENATOR HANSBOROUGH, who openly defied the single gold standard Torces during the late campaign and preached free silver, was re-elected by the North Dakota legislature last week. He not only encountered the opposition of the: Dakota gold bugs, but the influence of the national Republican. committee was leveled agaiust him. -O,~yes, free silver is dead!—like the old woman kept hotel out west. ‘““Don’r expect prosperity to come back with a jump,” says the Chicago ‘Times-Herald. .‘**We won't,” says the Kansas City Times... ‘‘If she enters with a glide; if shé-moseys in on one leg; nay, if she even sashays forward on her surcingle, or- waltzes gently forward on her. ears, we'll. welcome herand brush the dust off the best seat in house for her to sit in. It don’t make one bit of, differance how she comes, but the whenness, of her coming: is a matter of much interest.” }. Morris the small, recently elected to congress from this un- fortunate district, has evidently had his egotistical imagination punctured. He was billed for a response to the toast, “Our Nation,” at the Hamil- ton club anniversary in Chicago last Monday. There were present some famous orators, and P. Morris the small found it convenient to be sick in Washington that day and “unable to be present.’ Morris compares h Towne about as the louse would compare with the lion. GOVERNOR STEPHENS ¢f Missouri sizes up the.real situation very cor- rectly. In his inaugural address the other day hesaid: “It is my opinion that under the prevailing gold stand- ard and financial policies of the fed- eral government, general business conditions will not materally or per- moanently improve, but on the con- trary, we Can reasonably anticipate a continuance of the experience wkich has so distressed the country in recent years. I see nothing in the immeadi- ate future to warrant a substantial prospect for better times.” "Dar gentlemen chosen in the several states to elect a_president. and vice president to serve the country during the next four years, beginning March 4, met at the several state capitols last. Monday .and cast their votes. Mr._MeKinley-of Ohio, and one Mr, Hobart ‘of New. Jersey, were the persens decided upon for president and vice presitlent,. respectively. On the 10th of Feburary one representa- tive from each ‘state will meet at Washington and perform the final actin this election farce. March 4, 1897, Grover will retire to private life and Mr. MeKinjey, will take charge. There will be no changes of policy follow the change. of adminis- tration. ‘Tue tarriff tinkers’. at Washington may and may not be able to fool the farmers of the west, The latest gag sprung is ove fer which Warden Wolfer of the Stillwater penitenti- ary will furnish testimony. An im- port duty is to be imposed on sisal and manilla—binding twine manu- factured from flax. The Stillwater plant, conducted by the, state and wvperated in the penitentiary ‘by con: victs, is one of the largest in the country. The warden will undertake to show that the institution of which he is the head must have protection | of five. or - elose ‘its doors, thus throwing several hundred deserving crimin nals out of employment. In some myster- lors manner, known only to a few journeyman tarriff makers, this pen- itintiary protiction is to be a-splendid thing for the farmers of the state. « Tue Hinckley Enterprise has the following sensible objection to. offer on a proposed amendment, which is calculated to>advnce “political cor- ruption in Minnesota! ‘An effort is being made to amend the Australian ballot law, so that an X at the *head of the ticket will-vote~a straight ticket. We hope this amendment will not pass. It is ‘but a stepping stone for the corrupt and unworthy to get office on the strength of their party ticket. 1t wilt make a nomi- nation by the dominant party equiv- alent to an election, no matter how unfitted. the candidate may be. Instead of throwing open the bars to wholesale uninformed voting, better place further restrictions around the ballot, so that no one can vote on any question :in ignorance. Bossism flourishes best where there is the least.education. The political steer- ers of the largest cities are no doubt in favor of an amendment like the above for it will enable them more fully to deliver their votes in ‘blocks SENATOR DAY'S CASE. The St. Paul Dispatch is demand- ing that the senate shall declare that Senator Frank Day, of Martin county, is not entitled to a seat in that body because he left the Republican party last summer on the silver question and supported Mr. Bryan for presi- dent. This isa novel reason for un- | seating a man who was elected by the people of the Sixth district to repre- sent them in the senate. Mr. Day was elected two years ago to serve a term of four years. The Dispatch would have him ejected from office because he refused to swallow his convictions and obey the party whip. Some people thought that Mr. Day dad vacated his seat as senator when he became acting lieutenant-governor as successor to Dave Clough, who was promoted to the governorship when Governor Nelson became United Seates senator, but this is not the reason. that the Dispatch advances for demanding his retirement. It probab!y is satisfied that this ground is not tenable and therefore appeals to political passion to attain its un- worthy object. Why is the Dispatch so bitterly at- tacking Day and urging that the Re- publican senators unseat him? There is but one answer: The Dispatch is carrying out the wishes of its friends, the railroad corporations, who want the senate to unseat Mr. Day, because he cast the decisive vote when the Anderson bill for the taxation of railroad lands was before the senate. If senator Day should now be unseat- ed, it would be a.declaration by the senate that he was nota senator when he voted for the Anderson bill and as his vote was needed to pass that meas- ure, it never received a majority of votes in the senate and its submission toa vote of the people was illegal. The ra‘lroad corporations which ob- ject to paying taxes on their lands, would be delighted with such an out- come of the bitter fight that has been waged for years, and as their obed- ient servand the Dispatch is appeal- ing to the Republican senators to to throw Senator Day for political reasons. It is hardly probable that the majorty of the Republican senators have lost all their ordinary good sense. It is improbable at least. that | any senator from the northern port- ion of the state wil! aid the Dispatch and the railroad corporations ‘in this scheme to. deprive. the northern counties of the benefits derived from the Anderson law. .It means a les- sening of the rate of taxation in all these counties. containing. raiirord lands, andthe ‘people. of St. Louis county will-bé-eunsiderably benefitted in this way.” For this reason the people here look to Senator Spencer tw refuse to be a purty.to this at- tempt to nullify the action. taken by the legislature two% years ago and approved by the people by a majority of over 200,000 on Nov. 3.—Duluth Herald.
