The Herald-Review: rather, enjoys the very evident discomfiture of our Republican friends in this congres- stonal district since the brilliant Budg- et Bede shied his castor into the ring and announced in no uncertain lan- guage that heis after Page Morris’ job. Bede may be quite a joker—in truth he is—but like Caesar's Cassius, he is lean and does much serious thinking. Bede is a shrewd politician-and un- like Page Morris, he is close ‘to the people whose political views harmon- ize with his own. Those who know the little editor are well aware that he has been strongly urged by many strong Republicans of the district to come out in opposition to Morris, else he would not have made the an- nouncement so boldly. He will cer- tainly develop a greater strength than many of the knowing. ones anticipate at this early date. There is no evad- ing the fact that Morns is regarded with contempt by the leaders of his party, excepting, perhaps, those who hold federal office by virtue of his re- commendation. Prominent Republi- cans of the district do not disguise their revulsion the raven- locked learned that his alleged. ability 1s con- toward representative. They have fined exclusively to an unwarranted presumption of self-importance, coupl- ed with the grossest ingratitude to those who lifted him out of an abyss of obscurity, step by step, to his pres- ent proud position, Many a cleaver is already sharpened for his congres- sional scalp, and this opposition 1s confined to no section of our big district. During the past two campaigns Bede has been a powerful aid to the g. 0. p. His ability as a stumper has been recognized all over the country. Mark Hanna, the master mechanic of monopoly, listed J. Adam among the most brilliant of his satellites. and his services were eagerly sought in every doubtful Our brethren are wise in their generation. state.

Our Senator C. C, McCarthy is not an unknown quanti- ty. Mac made a good record in the| last legislature, and he also makes position, Grand speeches to which the people listen and pronounce them good. In point of ability and statesmanship, Mc- Carthy is as far above Morris as Towne 1s above McCarthy. On a perpendicular scale ‘marked by the three, Towne would be found serenely. and sublimely at the top, Mac half way up with poor Page grinning ndicu- lously at the bottom, while J. Adam ‘could play about and have fun with allofthem., Morris is known to be If ‘the party-convention turns his grin to the wall he will draw the deadly dagger and use it against the nomunee to the best of his ability, “He ‘might be able tq induce some of his appointees to vindictive and. treacherous. the ‘might be ‘ambitious to build up a personal following among local lead- ers. This view of the situation would appeal to the reason of many nincom- poops favored by Morris. These are contingencies that must’be‘considered. In the meantime McCarthy and Bede are gathering strength and unless sentiment greatly changes, C. C. Mc- Carthy, of Grand Rapids, will be the next Republican nominee for congress inthe Sixth district. Chas. A. Towne will be the man of the masses and will lead the reform: forces to a mag- nificent victory. As stated at the start, however, the Herald-Review enjoys with genuine patnutic satisfaction the gathering of cyclonic forces in the plutocratic ranks that portends with unerring cer- tainty a finalclash of unsympathetic elements that will burst in distructive fury at the eleventh hour. And thereat will the people rejoice greatly. ——_—_—_—__—_ THE DIRTY DISPATCH. It is safe to assert that there is no dirtier, more malicious or more irre- sponsible partisan publication in the state of Minnesota than the St. Paul Dispatch, controlled by one Thomp- son. There is no slander relative tu Governor Lind’s administration that it will not print. In this respect it is insanely vicious. No matter if a hbel- ous falsehood must be retracted in the following issue to protect the Dispatch against criminal prosecution, the libel appears just the same, withthe hope that its publication may do more in- jury than the retraction will do good to the maligned department or official. ‘was the dirty Dispatch. Take, for example, the closing of the rotten St. Paul Savings bank by Ex- aminer E. M. Pope. At the time of the closing the pank had $33,667 in cash on hand with which to pay over $1,000,000. of money: deposited by patrons. Without regard to politics the press of the. state should have ap- plauded the prompt action of the bank examiner; and a majority of them: did so. A notable exception Unable to find any real reason to criticise Ex- aminer Pope it resorts to its common practice and deliberately lies in every word ard syllable of the following extract from its columns of the 11th inst: The people of Itasca county will be pleased to know the esteem in which they are held by the Lind administration, The Savings Bank of St. Paul held $20,000 of Itasca county bonds, which the public examiner marked down in his “estimate” of the assets ut $10,000- “But,.’ said President Prendergast, “those bonds are quoted in. New York gt $1.20," “I don't care what they are quoted at,” says Pope; “I knuw Itasca county better than New York does, and I know they are only worth 50 cents on the dollar.” Itasca county will appreciate this delicate ‘compli-° ment, we should say, in a very warm way,” The fact is, the St. Paul Savings bank held $30,000 of Itasca bonds— not $20,000,—and the public, éxami- ner valued them at par.-$30,000, We hardly think the people of Itasca county will feel very much distressed when they know the truth, There is some consolation’ in the fact that the dirty Dispatch has a very limited. cir- cutation in this county and © still less influence. —— 46 ———— INDEPENDENCE. On the anniversary of the declara- tion of Philipino independence, Agu- inaldo dared to address his soldiery. In part he said: Filipino, delicate flower of the East, scarce- ly eight months weaned from vhe breast of thy mother, thou hast dared to bravo a great and powerful nation such as isthe United States, after barely organizing and disci- plining thy little army. Yet we reply, we will be slaves to none, nor allow ourselves to be deceived by soft words, Let us continue to defend our fatheriand until independence is assured, for thisis justice. We shall seeat last that the great American nation will ac- knowledge the right which is on our side. That doctrine of the: great Monroe, that America {s for the Americans is not forgot- ten. Just as we affirm that the Philippines are for the Filipinos. How wonderfully like the inspired utterances of the founders of this re- do hkewlse on the theory that Mc Kinley will be re-elected and their positions more secure with a Demo- cratic congressman than with one! public ase the words of Aguinaldo, Old King George would heve put Washington to death for just such language if biden could hay v SST ES es SERA Sa RCE eae captired: Pea King will.

What say the farmers? ie SS Tue Hibbing Tribune: is a new journalistic venture just launched at the mining metropolis of St. Louis county. J, A. McIntyre is announced as editor, and Joe Tennis, as publish- er. The Herald-Review is not ac- quaiuted with the gentlemen, but it will make bold to predict the early demise of their publication unless vast improvements appear both in the mechanical and editorial depart- ments. Hibbing cannot support three papers, aud Will Thomas: and Claud Atkinson, of the Sentinel and News espectively, are old-timers and hard chaps to kill off. —t- AND speaking of gold trust pros- perity itseems that the Winona Sav- ings bank celebrates it by reducing interest on deposits to 2 per cent, pro- vided they stand for six months. This is an indication of the condition of banking business where it is con- ducted without special benefits such as the national banks receive. In fact, if there is a line of business not receiving special favors in some man- ner, due directly or indirectly to leg- islation or administration, that is profitable or more profitable than it has been, will some gold standard ad- vocate point it out? ae Tue Savings Bank of St. Paul, hay- iug basked in the same kind of pros- perity, has been closed by Examiner Pope. It appears that the bank has not earned a penny’s profit for a long time, although it bravely forced divi- dends to {keep up appearances. Ex- aminer Pope, having exercised his ut- most leniency for some months, final- ly refused. to let’ the depositors and the public be further jeopardized. With resources of over $1,600,000 and the bank had on hand at closing only $33,697 in cash and some $50,000 other- wise available, with which to pay $1,000,000 deposits. The bank's money is largely in mortgages and real estate whose values have been squeezed to death under the gold standard. Examiner Pope, painful as his duty may be, unflinchingly discharges it in protecting the people. ——— “T AM Now, as I always have been, aseparatist, and I still demand the separation that I asked before the war, not only separation from Spain, but from any and all other nations.
