The Republican party, through long enjoyment*ot power in this state, has theroughly corrupt and demoralized. 1t has lost Lhe fine sense of political honor and.is fast losing that of politieal decency, Nothing better could happen for it as well us for the state than a compul- sory retirement, in which it. might meditate upon its sins and prepare rise in better thin s We certainly hope that the public examiner's report and the rejoinder of Mr. Dunn may be read by every voter in the state. Some will think that the balance of proof swings to one side and some to another, but we do not see bow any right minded man ean escape the conclusion that neither faction is fit to be trusted with yoverning authority in this state. Where official power loosely held and exe ed that scand- als of this magnitude can arise, and Where the same official power is so care ly regarded that it becomes an instrument to reward friend and to punish enenies, there is almost egual offense. In both cases the tights of the people are ccntemtuous- ly ignored or thrust into the back- ground, while brawling politicians belabor one another’s back and call for public endorsement in order that they may be enabled to deliver still more resouding blsws. What interest have the people of Minnesota in this disgraceful squab- ble, and the disgracefui facts on both sides that bave given rise to it, ex- cept to call a halt ? That can be done only by the election of the Democratic ticket and the administerjng of the rebuke which both Republican ma- chines have so thoroughly earned, Let the voters see to it that this is done in November, and we shall haye clean, honest goverment by the peo- ple end the retirement of a lot of politicians who will leave the state's service for the state’s good.

The conditions of the New York money market, after baving been for several yéars suffering frum ‘the ‘effects’ of great over-speculation, and to. some ex- tent having had to lean on the great financial centers of Europe, appears now to haye reached a far more uor- mal and satisfactory state. several matters which while pending had a disturbing inftiuence on the money market have been disposed of. In South Africa the expected reviyal has not yet made itself felt, but gradually the mines are increasing their output; during. the first six mouths of 1904 we have received eight tuillions of pounds in: gold from that country, compared with 6,3v0,000 in corresponding six moaths of 1903— yradually but surely these increased shipments, the increased production of gold all ‘over the world, cannot fail to make themselves felt in our money markets and through them in Uhe business world generally’? = What is-this if not a confession that in 1896 the world was suffering for more metallic money, and that an increasing quanity of it would have relieved the withering business depression of the time? ‘These were the contentions of the “‘silverites’’ then, and the way to obtain relief; they naturally and rationally believ- ed, was to add silver to gold, since they did not and could not know what the fates or providence was preparing to do to save ‘the people from the distaster those in authority were bringing upon them.

But at the bottom of it alla determination to place Geo.
