We've been in the civilizimg business over tour hundred years, and some of our pupils ought certainly be able to go it alone by this time. pie es ee THE Minneapolis Times credits a clipping from this paper to the Grand Rapids (S. D.) Herald-Review. The Times exchange editor should post himself on the prominent cities of his own siate. Tue Republican party 1s laying claim to the votes of the peoples of all nationalities, and ail for different reasons. About the only thing that hasn’t been sprung is a cinch on the frish vote on the strength of a pos- sible English alliance, a InpicaTions are that England has taken a larger contract than she bar- gained for in the invasion of South Africa. ‘There is not much doubt as to the ultimate outcome of the boer war, but much money will be spent and many widows made before’ it is all over. THe excruciatingly witty Minne- apolis Journal says: “Charlie ‘Towne of Minnesota is down in Nebraska jumping on the Sultan of Zulu.” Yes, and when Towne gets through you will find the people of Nebraska jump- ing on the political party that made a disgraceful and disgusting treaty with a polygamous savage. ——_+0+—__ Tue Phillipine commission has, after due and mature deliberation, reported to the admnnistration its findings. of the retention of the islands. The administration, after due and mature dehberation, knew that the commis-|s sioners would so find before they ever lef the country for the east. > Some Washington correspondenty has discovered that there 1s a political deal on between Hanna, McKunley and Roosevelt. The country has sus- pected for some time that the first- named two were in league, and it is quite probable that Roosevelt has been made the jumor partner. If such is the case, it must have been done for the purpose of imparting an air of respectibility to the combination. ———+e+—___ TuaT much-married man, Roberts of Utah, 1s going to prove an interest- ing proposition for the next congress to tackle. Polygamy is against law, it is true, but so is highway robbery and perjury, yet we doubt very much if congress would or could throw a legally elected man out of office be- cause he had robbed someone or sworn falsely. If the people of Rob- erts’ district want him to represent them the rest of the congressmen may have to “stand for him.” aeR pn re Tue polished New England critic who jumbles pollysylables for the fourth page of the Duluth News-Trib- une, has discovered that a “more principleless, issueless, nerveless and sightless aggregation than the Demo- crats, never arrogated itself the desig- nation of party.” It might strike some folks that the genius of the “only morning” is devoting a great deal of energy and space to an aggregation so utterly contemptible. He should reserve his brain force for something about his size—if such things there be. Percedertien Ir 1s evidently the intention of the administration. not to wind up the Philippine war until after the presi- dential campaiga. The Hannaites are apparently of the opinion that if they can keep the country in enough foreign mnix-ups the people will be ad- verse to changing things at Washing- ton until after matters have been set- tled. Then again, the administration may be afraid to let the true inward- ness of affaizs in the Onent become known, as’we believe that a condition of mismanagement will be brought to hght that will make the Cuban inva. sion look like a well-conducted cam- paign. The people may tre of this kind of thing after awhile. er) ‘ Dare’s. paper, -has been giving the The members are in” favor |‘ River Star-News, Speaker Republican- press of the state some very distasteful advice. The Star- News claims that this thing of making charges against Gov. Lind that they are unable to in any way substantiate; calling attention to inadvertant and trifling errors that neither effect his policy as a governor nor character as a man; printing his name as “jack Ind” and hurling foul terms at him will not carry Minnesota for the g.o.p. and says that a different policy must be putsued. This is good advice, and we hope the Republican press will not follow it. eS Joaquin Miller to the Boers. The Sword of Gideon, Sword of God Be with ye, Boers, brave men of peace.
