SS TWI DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter oo THAT's getting to be a pretty scrap between Dunn and Collins, In the meantime what in thunder has be- come of Eddy? If we recal) correct- ly he made a pronouncement in favor of himself some time ago. Sir Tuomas Lipton will! please ac- cept our most sincere and heart-felt thanks for his successful appeal to Edward of England in behalf of that brave Irish soldier, Col. Arthur Lynch. The colonel was imprisoned in an English dungeon because he headed a regiment of Irish soldiers who fought against the British in the South African war. Wuat's getting the matter with our old friend R. C. Mitchell, of the Duluth Tribunal, again ? He’s saying strange Republican things in ‘his pa- per these days. Time was—and not so long ago—when we regarded him as a genuine reformer, tirmly fixed as one of the pillars of Minnesota Domocracy. It looks as though he had again taken “floppins.” ‘Tue Democratic national commit- tee haying met in the city of Wash- ington on Jan. 12, 1904, appointed Wednesday, July 6. 1904, as the time, and chose St. Louis as the place for holding the Democratic national con- vention. Each state is entitled to representation therein equal todouble the number of its senators and repre- sentatives in congress of the United States, and each territory, Alaska, Indian Territory and the District of Columbia shall have six delegates. ACCORDING to the Aitkin Age, C. P. De Laittre, of that village, will be a candidate as delegate to the national Republican conveution. Mr. DeLaittre is represented in the Age to be a Republican of life-long standing; a liberal contributor to the party’s suc: | anda Roosevelt supporter from Start tu finish. He has the unquali- fied endorsement of the Herald-Re- view, and he may use our name with- out reserve while raaking his cam- paign. C, P. will suit us just as well as any other old Republican. Ir wouldn’t be so bad, after all, if the Dunn-Collins-Eddy fight would become su disagreeably hot and howl- ing that the convention would stam- pede to Senator H. J. Miller of Lu- verne and make him the Republican nominee forgovernor. Senator Miller ideal and his nomination =——=j0f the political standard that has!and banquet alone, and when he has -tlong dominated the g. 0. p. of the| gone to his final reward the grand old state. Isn’r it about time for Frank Day’s Fairmont Sentinel, McDouald’s St. Cloud Times and the Herald-Re view to get tegether and do some Democratic gubernatorial talking ? There may be one or two other Dem- ocratic papers still in the state, but we cannot recall them just at this writing. If there are others they wi'l be admitted to the talkfest. But let’s quit talking Puen, Collins, Eddy et a). and attend strictly to our own political affairs. We'll have to havea candidate, and while we're at it we might as well make it so strong that he'll be eiected. Our friend ‘Doc’? Rutledge, of the Cass Lake Voice, 1s a first-rate “string fiend,”’ and he tells some mighty interesting stories in an in- teresting style. But that last one on Conductor Cardle relating to bis Da- kota homestead experience was a wonderful stretch of the imagination. When “‘Doc” puts Jim Cardle to cut- ting down pine saw logs on a Dakota homestead with which to build a claim shanty we are furced to ask the privilege of the floor for just a mo- ment while we pronounce the narra- tor to be ‘‘another.’? There are no pine saw logs in North Dakota—noth- ing but wheat, wind and weather. BRYAN has the courage of his con- victions. He knows the right ‘and knowing dare defend” He is no trimmer for expediency. Rather a thousand defeats and be right than victory and be wrong. If to succeed itis necessary to sacrifice the grand principles of the Demoeratic party as set forth in the Kansas City platform, then let it be defeat—we will not make the sacrifice. When the “sound money” coterie of the Democratic party succeeds in wiping out the car- dinal principles upon which Democra- cy rests aud substituting plutecracy and hypocracy, and agrees to turn the affairs of this nation over to the keeping of Wall street and the trusts of the country, as the Republican party has done, the usefulness of the organization will be at an end and it should be allowed te pass from among the institutions of men. But that time will not come, There are too many Bryans doing picket duty from Maine to Mexico, from Canada to the Gulf. ‘THe Herald-Review begins to feel like unto the old settlers’ association of Minnesota. This association was organized under the state laws and one of the provisions restricts the membership to persons who resided ia the state at a certain period of its early history—’way back in the forties or tifiies. Anannual meeting is held, is ap able, honest man—one of the| when the banquet board is spread. cleanest that ever held public office !'The membership 1s fast diminishing | ery and they will be promptly filled. e organization shall be no more. So it appears to be with the Herald-Re- }view. Our Democratic contempor- aries are growing less every year and there are no new ones to take their places. It looks as though the Her- ald-Review wonid eventually have to report alone as the only. original simon-pure Democratic paper pub- lished in all this vast region of North- eastern Mianesvta. We'll be there to report. BLAINE OR HANNA? The Detroit Tribune calls attention to the fact that Gov. Cummins of lowa and J. J. Hill were discussing at the same ‘time, each from his own point of view, reciprocity with Can- ada. While Gov. Cummins was making his ‘naugural address, Mr. Hill was speaking to the State Agricultural society of Minnesota. The governor discussed the question from a political standpoint, while Mr. Hill aimed his arguments along the line of commercial opportunity and necessity. Gov. Cummins said that standing pat on the tariff is losing some of the world’s markets to the United States. Why increase our surplus products, already large, if we cannot find broad- er markets? Reciprocity will give us new and larger markets. And Cana- dian reciprocity is nearest and affords the best chance. Mr. Hill viewed the question prac- tically. His railrord is bound up with the prosperity of the Northwest. He talked from a business standpoint. 'Mr. Hill predicted the success of Caamberlain’s tariff policy. He said the time would soon come when the Canadian farmer would be able to lay | his wheat down in Liverpool 12 cents a bushel cheaper than can the farm- ers of the United States. That means this country must find a new market for 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 vushels of wheat a year or the price will go down and the farmers will suffer. Mr. Hit! makes out a plain case. Gov. Cummins takes the case and | presents it to the jury. He says to his party: you stand pat? Will you adopt, the wider statesmanship of James G. Blaine or the ‘stay pat” of Mark Hanna? Will you keep the promises made in your national platforms or will you deceive the people?” Whatever your party affiliations, you cannot but admire the brilliant governor of Iowa and his “Iowa idea.” —St. Paul News.

Upon the report of the drill. test the lease was scld to the Cleve-~ land-Cliffs peorle, who entered into contract with the Drake & Stratton company to remove the over-burden! from the ore. The contracting com- pany installed its plant last spring, and had not carried the work along a great while before it was discovered ! that something was wrong.

It at once became apparent that it was useless to con- tinue the stripping operations, and by mutual agreement the Drake & Strat- ton company withdrew, and the min- ing company inaugurated a different systeio of mining, as stated. It is re- markable that 10 drilling the forty the drills could be set in such a man- ner as to miss entirely all the barren places, but that is what occurred. All of the drill holes, both in the testing and proving, showed a good depth of ore.
