TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE, Six Months..,.....$1 00| Three Months.......50e Entered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, Mmnesota, as Second-Class Matter. Official Paper of Itasca County and the Village of Grand Rapids. Tue war in South Africa has only cost England, up to date, a little over six million pounds sterling. 1t takes a lot of men and money to subdue about seventy-five thousand fighting Boers— and they are not yet conquered. Tue Democratic national committee says in its call: ‘All who favor the Republic and oppose the Empire, are cordially invited: to join us in sending delegates.” There is sounded in that sentence the key-note of the coming campaign. ———_-e- Doers anyone believe that if this were a solid Democratic judicial dis- trict W.S. McClenahan would have announced his conversion to the prin- ciples of the Imperialistic party? We hardly think so, Is a partisan judi- ciary desirable? We hardly think so. Gee aa OP tat Tue Buffalo Journal, formerly own- ed and edited by the late Senator A, Y. Eaton, has passed into the hands of H. S. Saylor, and comes out in support cf the Imperialistic party, Under the editorial management of Eaton the Journal was an able and influential paper, but Mr. Saylor starts out like a rather tame brother and perhaps he may not do much harm, clic Ra ee MciIntyre’s big flour mill trust has fallen to pieces of its own weight, it will be but a short time, however, when the move to again consolidate will be revived and the next effort will no doubt result more favorably to the interests of the more exclusive money kings. You can’t down the trusts. Occassionally they may retire to get a fresh hold, but they are never de- feated. pee Se Kansas City 1s evidently proud of the distinction conferred upon her by the Democratic national committee in making that town the meeting place where Bryaua will be renominated on the 4th day of next July. Kansas City has one of the finest convention buildings in the country, ard the city will be prepared to accommodate the vast throngs of visitors that will be present. PAE AE Pe ea AN OLD-TIME politician dies hard. It is reported that sixteen thousand names have been attached to a peti- tion asking Dr. A. A. Ames to again become a candidate for the mayorality of Minneapolis. The doctor has joined the Imperialists in his doting days, and his unsavory record of the fused to receive him. The only means left to” Macrum by which the facts could be made known to the American people was through the medium of the press, and, patriotic citizen that he 1s, he employed it most effectually. ‘Three cheers for Macrum. ae ee A WaASHINATON wire to the Duluth Herald under date of March 5, says that the Minnesota members of con- gress who voted for the Puerto Rican tariff bill in the house are still receiv- ing vigorous “kicks” from their con- stituents. It is understood that Rep- resentative Morris is receiving fully as many of these as other men iu the delegation. Some of Morris’ ac- quaintances seem to think his vote means his defeat for renomination. They at least seem to be satisfied that he will be defeated at the polls, ° ee One of our little 2-fer exchanges makes note of Towne’s presence in the New England states these days where he has made several addresses, and thus it enquires; ‘Can’t these statesmen find a live ‘issue upon which fhey ‘can oppose the steady progress of the great Republican party?” In your elephantine opinion, Mr. 2-fer, tell us what a live issue is, Perhaps Mr. Towne is not a sub- scriber to your intellectuality and therefore is not apace with the issues of the hour. He should be com- municated with. ——__— TueRE 1s little doubt but that the Puerto Rican tariff bill will be finally bulldozed through the senate as it was through the house, notwithstanding 2 majority of the senators regard it as criminal legislation. But the Republi- cans are between the people and the sugar and tobacco trusts, and it is easy to see that they will be controlled by the latter, just as the house was. Nelson and Davis have been advised of the sentiment in Minnesota and will oppose the measure, provided, of course, that they are not needed to sustain the administration. pt es A aa Epiror Arxinson of the Hibbing News, will certainly not be disappoint- ed in one of his ardent desires. He says: ‘We sincerely hope that Bryan will receive the Democratic nomina- tion.” That isn’t all he says, but on this point we will issue our written guarantee that the Nebraska states- man will lead the reform forces through the next campaign. We will further agree to present Bro. Atkin- son with a braud new five dollar hat if Bryan isn’t elected president; pro- vided, as in such cases usually stp- ulated, that Bro. Atkinson will agree to present us with a similar sky-piece if Bryan is elected. Bas eg Ct Presipent McKin ey said in his speech at the banquet of the Ohio society in New York: “There can be no imperialism. Those who fear are past would lead one to the conclusion | against 1t. Those who have faith in that there are sixteen thousand jokers | the republic are against it. So that out of more profitable employment in | there is universal abhorance for it and the Flour City. 5 unanimous opposition to it.” He also said in his message to congress, April department and Seeretary Hay re-|tion there will be some throat-cutting on election day.” That’s encourag- ing. The,administration is advancing and soon, no doubt, will have adopted the code of government instituted by the bloody Weyler. Tue Brainerd Dispatch congratu- lates the Republican party upon the prospects of having a partisan candi- date for the office of district judge. The inference is that little Mac would look after the interests of his political friends. But that’s making 1t a little too strong. The Herald-Review 1s more charitable than to insinuate that the recently converted Republican as- pirant for Judge Holland’s position would entertain such base motives. By the way, the Republicans of this district must be about the most hide- bound that are manufactured. In the Seventh district, for mstance, Judge D. B. Searle has been chosen twice or three times by non-partisan conven- tions and elected by non-partisan votes, just as in the case of Judge Holland. Judge Searle is and al- ways has been a leading R€publican. It 1s a noticeable and commendable the most influential Democratic papers in the state, was the first to again bring that able jurist forward for. re- election next fall without any con- sideration of politics. Not so in the Fifteenth. Our Republican friends must have a partisan judge, even though they are forced to accept a made-over Democrat. ——-+0+ —____ IN RE M’CLENAHAN. “Expansion obtains among many of us who are old line Democrats, because we exalt patriotism above partisanship,” says W. S. McClenahan in a carefully prepared interview in mitigation of the injury he must know he does himself in swallowing Repub- hicanism with all its evils. Expansion 1s the entire burden ot his cry and battle and murder and to despoil a patriotism, it ceases to wonder when that kind of a patriot espouses the cause of Republicanism, which is notoriously engaged in the most gigantic system of robbery ever perpe- trated on a long suffering people. We have no hesitancy’ in’saying’ that we believe Mr. McClenahan is sincere and honest 1n his convictions but we also believe that he has signally fuled to disassociate patriotism and com- mercialism. passion that animates a man in the character of a citizen, while commer- cialism, when it reaches the stage of armed subjugation, 1s the basest. Patriotism is the rallying cry of every true-hearted citizen but when it is raised as a cloak for nothing more or less than financial greed, it is time to pause and question the motive of the ; man or party that raises it, Senator fact that the St, Cloud Times, one of Democracy’s answer is tuat if to do} whole race ot people for the sake of commercial gain is the sign manual of Reveridge’s speech in the United States senate is the recognized key- {note of the Republican idea of ex- pansion, and it was commercial gain and nothing but commercial gain from beginning to end. A mnghty howl has been raised that the American flag should never be pulied down where it has once been raised, but in the name of the humanity which caused it to be run up in the Philip- pines, would it not be more humane to take it down than to continue the slaughter of innocents that has been going on for nearly two years for commercial purposes. Mr. McClen- ahan does not doubt that there will be a strong anti-trust plank in the Republican platform, Evidently Mr. McClenahan is opposed to trusts, but with sublime innocence looks to the father of the iniquity to correct the evil, What would Mr. McClenahan, the lawyer, think of a law that turned a criminal oyer to his own father and mother with the delusive idea that they would deal with him as he des- erves? McClenahan is a man of too keen an insight into human nature to believe any such folly as that. But if he does, he strains mightilly at the gnat of anti-expansion and swallows smilingly the mountain of trust in- iquity.—Brainerd Arena. “Wants Explanation.” “Several have told us that ‘Perry Richley has decided to dwell henceforth off the boundry,’ that ‘our customs collector's horse has been duly sworn in by our justice as a special constable for the town of Kooch- iching, and that it is a mistake to suppose that the laws are not enforced in this com- munity.’ The Border Budget, Koochiching. Itasca county, Minnesota, U A., will please explain in the name of several million horse power whathehelbil? "—Herald-Review ‘‘Our Herald-Review friend waxes satirical and critical and wants to know. As we only, quoted from hear- say, we regret our inability to further explain, but if he will come down off his copje and make a visit to our laager, we can then put our foolish heads together and advise with the slanderers whose fertile brains con- ceived the annoying ideas. He can have a chance to utilize his optics on the largest water power proposition in the state, and can explain to us the meaning of the word-* whathehelbil.’ You won’t miss us, brother, for you have us correctly located, county ac- credited to proper country and all, and we would be mighty pleased to meet you.”—Border Budget. —_- Damning Our Wards. The Wine and Spirit Gazette states that the Anheuser-Busch Brewing association of St. Louis, recently closed contracts for a large exportation of American beer to the Philippines and South Africa. Under these contracts 150,009 bottles will be shipped weekly to Manilla, and 400,000,000 monthly to Cape Town. Adolphus Busch has been a Patriotism 1s the noblest | Democrat. but when in Washington lately he called upon President MeKinley, upon the latter’s invitation, the St. Louis papers said, and on his return put himself on record as in favor of McKinley’s expansion policy.
