STATE PRESS NOTES.

The St. Paul GLOBE shows some regard for country papers. The GLOBE knows which side its bread is buttered on.-West Duluth Sun.

There has been a policeman discharged at St. Paul for taking a nap on his beat. The officials over there are getting particular.-Stillwater Gazette.

Denver papers say they have no confidence in the present congress. On the other hand, congress says that it has no confidence in the Denver papers-Fisher Bulletin.

The entire state of Minnesota is proud of the St. Paul Boat ciub, that bore that proud name to such grand victories in the recent international rowing regetta at Detroit, Mich.-Lake Crystal Mirror.

Prof. J. T. McCleary has announced his intention to speak on the silver question. If he will stop when he has told what he knows about it, he will not take long.-St. Peter Herald.

It is folly for Republican papers to allege that the panic of the present is caused by anything the Democratic party has done since it came into power, because it has legislated not at all.-Hutchinson Leader.

The German-American Bank of St. Paul will resume business in a few days. If the depositors had possessed a little good, cool sense, the bank would not have suspended. St. Louis Journal-Press.

In the present time of need, it is pleasant to see Republicans and Democrats working together in the effort to restore confidence and revive business. As much cannot be said of the Populist cranks in congress. - Appleton Press.

One of the Denver banks that suspended business recently resumed yesterday. The German-American Bank of St. Paul will reopen its doors Sept. 6. These are good signs that the financial world is experiencing a decided improvement.-Duluth Herald.

Talk about calamity howlers. Why the Republicans are ar improving their short opportunity to attribute everything evil to the fact that there has been a change in the administration. If a change has this effect, we had better keep the Democrats in a good while, now that they are in.-Buffalo Gazette.

Nathan Myrick, of Si. Paul,one of the oldest pioneers of the Northwest, celebrated his golden wedding in the city on the 17th inst. The St. Paul GLOBE prints a list of the invited guests on that eventful occasion, which occupies names to the extent of two columns.-Winona Herald.

Just as soon as everybody reaches the conclusion, as they must sooner or later, that the financial stringency is but a bogy man of the imagination, it will go the way of the other bogy man. It is in the power of congress to greatly aid the people in reaching that conclusion.-West Duluth Sun.

Congress is "all at sea" on the financial question. There appears to be no end to the "theories" entertained, but when it comes down to facts that count on the side of "confidence restored," the present grist of national Sotons are "not in it," to any great extent.-Renville Times.

Less attention is being paid to the silver speeches than to the results of the ball games. The people don't want to read speeches; they are anxious for the vote which is promised on the 28th, and they want that vote to be sufficiently large to do away with the free silver question.-Stillwater Gazette.

As oarsmen, the Minnesota boys now are champions of America. What an inducement to establish colleges out here where the cyclone and chinook wind play tag with each other while they are imparting some of their strength to the muscles of Minnesota's brawny sons.-Litchfield News-Ledger.

The rumor that the elevator companies would be compelled to buy wheat this fall on thirty days' time was just a bit of harmless "joshing" by some financial wag. The ten millions necessary to remove the crop of the Northwest will be in the hands of elevator agents in the next ten days.-Ortonville Star-Herald.

We find it difficult to enthuse over the clearing-house plan of moving the crops. Perhaps it is because it brings the monetary difficulty so near home! For so staple a commodity as wheat it would seem as if current coin and notes might be obtained by good parties at a moderate brokerage.-Glyndon News.

Once in a while there is a dishonest bank, as there are dishonest individuals and firms in all the walks of life, but there are no more of them than have always existed. Money is plenty and deposits are safe, absolutely safe in the national banks, and the man who draws out his money, except to meet payments and do business, is only delaying the hour when full confidence shall be restored.-Faribault Democrat.
