Call for them. Manufacturer of Fine Cigars %9 Have achieved an excellent reputation all over Northern Minnesota. They are made Tue troubles of the present admin- istration seem to multiply. Besides ali the other grave questions now con- fronting it, news comes that John D. Rockefeller can’t fiiid a pastor to suit him, and Mark Hanna 1s suffering from a swollen knee. WE notice by the daily papers that there are a number of islands lying around somewhere that have no owners, As they are unmhabited, however, we hope that the adminis- tration will have sense enough not to take charge of them, ‘There wouldn’t be any “armed resistence” nor any- body to tax. ao ban eat Says the Denver News: “President McKinley having considerably shoved the whole question of Philippine’ gov- ernment onto the shoulders of con- gress, congress will now reciprocate by shoving the question back onto the shoulders of President McKinley.” And thus they will keep a-shoving and a-pushing, and a-pusiing and a-shov- ing until after election, and think that they are deceiving somebody as to their true motives. poner nog Semen Tue Iowa house of representatives have spoken in a manner that must have set the congressional delegation from that state to thinking. Following is the text of a resolution passed by that body: “Be it resolved, by the house, the senate concurring, that the people of Iowa are unalterably oppos- ed to.the establishment of any tariff duties between the United States and any territory acquired as a result of the American-Spanish war, the peo- ple of which accepted the sovereignty of this government without resistance and voluntarily passed under the jur- isdiction of its constitution and laws.” F —— Boss Dunn and his Princeton Union doesn’t think that Page Mor- ris is the greatest man in the world. Following is the comment that staunch Republican paper makes on_ his speech in Duluth: ‘We have read Mr. Mormis’ speech carefully and have been unable to discover any- thing new in it. Itis nothing but a rehas’: of the stereotyped explanations offered by Mr. Tawney and Eddyand other ‘explainers.”” And again: “Mr. Morris does not seem to possess a high opinion of his Republican col- leagues n the house who voted for free trade with Puerto Rico. He gave his audience to understand that they were no-account democrats masque- rading as republicans. We presume he includes Senators Davis and Nel- son, ex-Senator Washburn, and ex- President Harrison in that category?” Oxp Pease of the Anoka Union, who generally writes as he thinks and doesn’t always think as some folks would have him, sizes the situation up thus: ‘Things ain’t just right yet in Minnesota, and I don’t know but what it will apply tothe nation. Every blamed thing that enters into the con- struction of a building, has gone sky- ward in price, and yet you can buy store buildings and houses in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Anoka, Mankato, Win- ona and many other towns for less than the raw material is worth, In a St. Faul daily ‘recently I saw resi- dences offered in gcod localities for several hundred dollars less than they could be built for today, and the lot was thrown in the bargain. There’s something wrong when such a state of affairs exist. and I’d just like to know what’s the matter? That’s not prosperity by a jong shot.” en ee os The Wallace cottage on Houghton avenue is for rent or sale at a bargain. Talk to George W. Prescot about it. He is at the water works power house.
