So AEE 71s really pathetic to hear Re- pBblicans preach about Hearst’s mil- iBps and the way he will use them cure the Democratic nomination ‘— | | | for president of the U1 S : Following so closely upon the two compaigns conducted by the late Mark Hanna one is tempted to doubt. their sincerity. The Republican pa- per or politican that stood for the Hanna compaigns must indeed be shocked at the thought of a million- aire president. es A. M. GREELEY, editor ofethe Big Fork Compass, a paper published somewhere up on the Big Fork riyer, has also been brought out as a candi- date for the legislature. The Little Fork Guardian editor nominates the Big Fork Comp*ss editor. Between the forks—big and _ little—there ought to be something wortb going after. But Greeley won’t ‘do. The Magnet has pronourced that no ap- plication for legislative or other state honors—except that of railroad and warehouse commissioner—shall be considered. D. M. Gunn does not pro- pose to injure his chances for the fat office of railroad and warehouse com- missioner by allowing any legislat- ve fight for the Republican nomin- ation in this district. Geeley, Sea- mans and King might as well retire forthwith. ee gt CoNGRESSMAN WADE of Iowa and the Herald-Rewiew are not likely to get through the campaign on friendly terms unless the Buckeye gentleman changes mightily. Head- vises Iowa Democrats to take their political key frum the eastern states in the matter of selecting a pres- idential candidate. Inasmuch as the Republican party is doing that very thing the Democrats should give sume consideration to the interests of the west. The east- ern Deniocrats must consult the west and the Herald-Review wishes to in- form the gentleman from Iowa that the western Democracy is not follow- ing in the footsteps of the western Republicaas. The Democrats have principles to guide their action in the selection of a candidate and hypuc- racy and expediency will find small comfort in the St. Louis convention. “RESOLVED, that this convention censures in unqualified terms the malicious and underhand methods employed by one A. G. Bernard." etc. The foregoing is taken from th2 reso- lutions adupted by the Cass county Republican conventicn assembled at Pillager last week for the purpose of sending delegates to the district and state cunventions. It is the official voice of the Republicans of Cass county and cannot be misunderstood. Bernard has evidently run bis course in Cass county as he did io Itasca. When a man is thus spoken of by the representatives of his party he should take the hint and move to new fields. Asa disturbing element Bernard is a positive detriment to any communi- ty and when the people come to know him his presence will not be tolerated. If Bob Dunn hopes to get the Cass county deiegation he will have tu bribe the old Moose to oppose him. ee IN THE excitement attendant up- on our late village election the Her- ald-Review neglected to notice the important political announcement of Dr. Geo. C. Gilbert, made through the columns of the Magnet, three or four wecks ago. Dr. Gilbert has gove Republican. Up to the close of the last campaign the doctor was an ardent free silver Democrat In fact be was fierce. He had beena radical of radicals. Now he has de- liberately jumped to the other ex- treme. He gulps down everything prescribed by the Republican radicals. Dr Gilbert offers no valid reason for his sudden change, but +t is hoped by his friends that, he -will be able tuo satisfy his own conscience in deliber- ately stepping from political virtue to political vice. The doctor may consule himself with the assurance that shuuid the Democracy of the state and nation meet with de- feat in the coming election it will not be charged to his desertion. of the party. The doctor’s desertion will have nothing Whatever to du with the result. Experts For Good Things. Grand Rapids certainly contains a sufficient number of candidates for the office or railroad and warehouse commissioner. The Brainerd Dis- patch says: Dan Gunn is being groomed fora place on the state railroad and warehouse commission, while his fellow townsman, H. R. King, is also mentioned in the same connection. Mr. Gunn lives at Grand Rapids and his Brain- erd friends would be glad to see him lan¢. This office must afford opportunity for one to live like a King, else there would not be so many out Gunn-ing for it. Those Grand Rapids politi- cians are quite expert at nosing outa good,thing.—Duluth Herald. Not Venemous, Brother. “Bre. Kiley. of Grand Rapids, has beeen laid up with a broken leg and enforced con- finement has put his teeth on edge, judging from the venemous way he lashes out at his bother scribes,”--Cloquet Pine Knot. No, not venemous, Mr. Fine Knot. The Herald-Review sometimes finds it necessary to speak out the truth in a forceful manner that is not pleasing to its contemporaries. But, as you will notice:-by the vote of the people of Grand Rapids, our truths prevail by a large and enthusiastic majority.. NEFECTIVE PAGE _ Simultaneous ' 1 nouncement of D. M. Guon’s candi- dacy, in the Grand Rapids Magnet, for office \of railroad and warehouse commissioner, there ‘also appeared an editoriz] in that paper deprecating the fact that there are to be Republi- can legislative ‘candidates from this county. The Magnet is a one-man organ, apparently, and respresents only the interests of Mr. Guno. All other aspirants for political honors from this county are told to go to the rear and be seated. A legislative contest in which Itasca County men are interested might jeopardize Mr. Guon’s interests. Ly thus early giv- ing it out through his persoval organ that Gunn is the only man that Guon favors from Itasca county he hojyes to be able to eliminate party strife and thus carry the other counties of this district. Seaman, King, and Greeley are to be driven out of the legislative contest before they getstarted. All other Republicans of the county must accommodate themselves to the convenience and advancement of Mr. Gunn. This edict was issued in the last Issue of the Magnet. As to Mr. Gunn’s_ qualitications for the important oftice that he would occupy the Her- ald-Review is thoroughly conversant. Since he was elected tu the legisla- ture he has always carried an annual pass over the Great Northern. With this extensive experience in railroad- ing and his favorable standing with the Great Nortnern, in asmall way, amply qualifies Mr. Gunn, in Mr. Gunn's opinion, to serve as a member of the railroad and warehouse com- mission. Perhaps the railroad com- >| panies would be satisfied with him, but under the circumstauces the peo- ple would do well to look abont a bit before committing such vital inter- ests to the keeping of D. M. Gunn and the railroad companies of the state. Sas THE COUNTRY PRESS. H. C. Richmond of the Omaba World-Herald, responded to the toast “journalism,” ata gathering of promi- nent people in that city recently. From his address the following tri- bute to the country press is taken: Someone has said that the beauty of the forest dues not consist wholly in the giaut oakes which rear their spreading branches majestically above all other trees; that the vast labyrinth of verdant foliage in- tertwining the smaller trees below forms an essential feature of the forest's indescribable grandeur. How true this is of journalism, my friends. Here and there are the great and powerful jourrals confessedly subsidized and controlled for politi+ cal or mercenary gain. But, thank heaven, throughout the great forest of journalism are the smaller papers— the undergrowth, so to speak—faith- fully recording and interperiing the hopes and fears and wants and joys and aspirations of the people whose feelings they represent. These papers are the really great diary of mankind. They record the personal events of interest to you and me. They stand as a battlement between tyranny and the people, They are tirst to erabark on a crusade against wickedness and first to defend a holy cause. _They note with pride your progress and prosperity, and gladly chronicle the advent of a new member to your household. They uphold good gover- ment, preach morasity and sustain the church. They are first to hasten the spirit of progress in your cum- munity, and first to head a move- mentin behalf of the public good. They narrate carefully the chief events of your entire life, and are the first to offer tender words of sym- pathy and solace, when crape, that silent symbol of death, flutters from your cottage door. My ideal press is. one whose might is right. I would have the press ad- here to so high a sense of justice as to compel the respect and contidence of the people in every walk of life; a press as eager to right the wrongs of the poor and humble as to flatter the vanity and fancies aud fuibles of the ricb; a press blind to the political prejudices of men not possessed of tbe better qualities of mind and heart; a press whose aim it is to en- lightev; and elevate rather than to entertain und confuse, a press com- mitted with unswerving fidelity to the great principles of life, untram- meled, all-powerful, going on and on adown the ages, exemplifying the teachings of the lowly Nazarine, for the uplifting of the human race. - AISNE SOE REPUBLICAN RECIPORCITY. The most remarkable public de- claration on any political question ever published sis that portion of the Minnesota Republican platforn relating to tariff and reciprocity, re- cently adopted at Minneapolis. The St. Paul Globe puts a correct es- timate on that pfank of the platform when it says: ‘As a matter of politi- cal interest, and also as a curiosity | in the study of the English language, we reproduce the extraordinary de- clartion in full: We believe that protection and. Dpli- i “¢ation of reciprocity is protection. — We demand enlarged markets for the products ofeur farms and factories. We demand admission of the of necessaries of life, which we do not produce, from other countries under reciprocal agree- ments of mutual interests which gain open toarkets for us with other nations, always keeping in view the fact that our home eee must not be impaired. e faver such modifications of tariff schedules as from time to time are required by changing conditions and insist that such changes shall be made in line with the fundamental principles of protection. Is there any living human being who can tell what~ this means, or does not mean,er means, to mean? “The correct application of reciproc- ity is protection.’ Might a mere ordinary man inquire which barrell of this gun is expected to go off first? Ought we to rely upon reciprocity ‘treaties in general as adequate mers- ure of protection and abviish our tariff laws, or ought we to depend upon the application of the tariff in some mysterious way to create re- ciprocity ?*> The whole thing is bald- erdash; so stupidly involved, selfcon- tradictury and meaningless that men Imust consider themselves in a very deep hole indeed politically befure they would consent to lay hands on such a rope tu pull them out. ‘The Republican party of Minnesota isin the sad plight of feeling that “it will be damned if it does and damned if it don’t.” More than 90 percent of its own membership iu this state is unqualitidely in favor of tariff refurm. ‘his more than 90 per cent does not demand some little tinkering with the tariff, but a real reduction that would break down the sacred priviteges of trusts.and turn over to the consumer some of the ar- bitrary profits now enjoyed under the law by monopoly. These live de- manded as the price of their.contin- ued support some party declartion favorable to tariff revision. The Re- publican leaders in the — state are absolutely under tbe thumb of the big bosses at the East. These men, the men who own the Republican party body, soul and breeches, are all beneficaries of: the preseut robber tariff. They are all men whose personal affairs and fortunes depend upon keeping it un- impaired. They have given it out flat that they will have no tariff re- vision; and however much Minnesota congressmen and senators and other politicass might desire it. they know thatif they so Mucky as-win'cay eye lash in.that direetion they will be put upon the federal blacklist. They have their orders and those orders are to stand pat. periss ser ERs Eee Holy Week.
