GREELEY, editor ofathe 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 pronoucced that no ap- plication for legislative or other state honors—except that ef 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- ive fight for the Republican nomin- ation in this @istrict. Geeley, Sea- mans and King might as well retire forthwith. rE I URES 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 js doing that very thing the Democrats should give some 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 Lowa 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 hypoc- 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 convyenticn assembled at Pillager last week for the purpose of sending delegates to the district and state cunveations. 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 to bribe the old Moose to oppose him. ee SS eee 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 tierce. 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 to satisfy his own conscience in deliber- ately stepping from political virtue to political vice. The doctor may console 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. PERN I MOS Dilan: 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 wany out Gunn-ing for it. Those Grand Rapids politi- cians are quite expert at nosing outa good,thing.—Duluth Heraid. 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... DEFECTIVE PAGE office \of railroad and warehouse commissioner, there ‘also appeared an editorial 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 couuty are tuld 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 personal 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 get started. 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 qualifications 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 vhe Great Nortnern, in asmall way, amply qualifies Mr. Gunn, in Mr. Gunn's opivion, 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. Guan and the railroad companies of the state. 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 trt- 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 jourualism, my friends. Here and there are the great and powerful journals 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 interperting 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 mora}ity and sustain the church. They are first to hasten the spirit of progress in your com- 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 confidence of the people in every walk of life; a press as eager to right the wrougs 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 the better qualities of mind and heart; a press whose aim it is to en- lightev; and elevate rather than to entertain and 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. SG NCEE REPUBLICAN RECIPORCITY. aay 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- ‘elartion in full: E We believe that protection a nd ———— ; : products ofeur farms: and ~ tac ies.

The Republican party of Minnesota isin the sad plight of feeling that “it will be damned if it does and damned if it dovt.”? More than 90 percent of its own membership iu this state is unqualitidely in favor of tariffrefurm. ‘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 privileges of trusts and turn over to the consumer some of the ar- bitrary profits now enjoyed under the law by monopoly. These hive de- msanded 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 present 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 politicans might.desire it. they know thatif they so Muck as-win'cap eyes lash in.that direétion they will be put upon the federal blacklist.
