TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE. Six Months........81 00 | Three Months.. 500 Entered in the Postoftice at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter. Official Paper of Itasca County and the Village of Grand Repids. Some freak has discovered that James J. Hill may be Senator Nelson’s fued man was hired by the Taylor ad- herents to fire the cowa rdly shot that killed Kentucky’s legelly elected ex- ecutive, and it 1s thought that this creature will soon be captured. There is hardly a doubt as to what His dopm will be, but what will be that of the this crime? It may be impossible for the law to deal with them as they de- serve, but they are murderers and as such should be objects of public exe- cration. oo WE sHOULD like to know how the Minnesota congressmen stand on the Loud bill now before the house. This measure was introduced to do away with the postoffice deficit, and may in some respects be a good thing. But there are features of it that should be entirely eliminated before 1t becomes alaw. For instance, its provisions would prevent the sending out of sample copies as second-class matter, and provides that a newspaper must have a known circulation before it is successor. We have seen so much of| entitled to the second-class rate, The this kind of talk lately that we feel called upon to inform our Republican friends of the fact that there is only one thing that can prevent Nelson from succeeding himself, and that is an anti-Republican legislature. Shae a Arrer having on several occasions put down the Phihppine rebellion, established peace, captured Aguinaldo, etc., the war department is still forced to the reluctant announcement that | the islands are still in a “disturbed condition,” and indications are that they will'soremain until tne inhabi- tants are given their rights. Ir 1s .a little early in the season as yet, but already the Morris-by-an-in- creased majority cry has been started by the Wadena Pioneer Journal. It wouldn’t make any difference with the P. J. if if every man ia the Sixth district would show his disapproval of the congressman so plainly that no one could mistake it, that paper would still insist that he would be elected by an increased majority. es THe charge that Minnesota and Dakota grain had lost its standing in the markets of the world and was sell- ing below the wheat of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri, because of the change of administration in Minne- sota, has been proven to be a republi- can newspaper lie. Minnesota and Dakota still holds the top-notch place in the world’s’ estima - tion, and if anything, grades higher than ever before. ECE edt Eas Wittiam L. Winpom of Duluth, has announced his intention of going before the Republican congressional convention as a candidate for Page Morris’ place. Like J. Adam Bede, Mr, Windom has several “reasons” why he thinks that he is peculiarly fitted to go to congress. His an- nouncement has not created any great amount of enthusiasm throughout the istrict, but its publication at this time proves that Windom’s friends consider Morns’ nomination as out of the question. peactit P Se Our good friend, the Magnet, says that it makes it tired to see every other item in a newspaper setting forth the virtues of some patent medicine. But that’s nothing. One can always get a little something out of these ads, even if he has to get sick and take it out in medicine, but what is to be thought of papers—and’good papers, too—who receive every week their editorial squibs from a patent house and in return have the privilege of running a two inch ad for said house? Those papers must be decidedly short on ideas, Ge Ba It seems that Wobbling Willie may again change his own and Page Morris’ mmd. The latest from Wash- ington is that on sober fifth or sixth thought the president may urge free trade for Puerto Riéo. Several promi nent senators have advised. him to do this setting forth that it might save the Republican party by so doing. He will think the matter over for a few days before announcing his deci- sion. In order to be with the major- ity of Americans he should reach the conclusion: that even if he can save the Republican party, the old thing isn’t worth the effort. one THE mystery surrounding the kill- ing of Governor Goeble of Kentucky, is fast being cleared up and is shown first of these provisions would operate against all classes of publications, while the latter would have the eftect of discouraging the starting of new ones. The Loud bill should be modi- fied or killed. SETA AES ilere the press of the Sixth district has been jumping onto Page Morris for his vote on the Puerto Rican bill, when as a matter of fact they should be writing poetry about his unselfish- ness. Page is a martyr. He con- sidered it his duty to stand by the administration, and like the boy who stood on the burning deck until the flames consumed him, he would not leave his post even though his frends called to him to come off before he became blistered. We expect that some inquisitive chump will ask: “How about his duty to his constitu- ents?” but all such we would respect- fully ask to mind their own business— we are not talking about that. This modern Casabianca is entitled to much sympathy for the abuse hurled at him on account of his heroic disre- gard for his constituents’ wishes. Un- less the people are ungiateful they will see to it that what is left of him shall never more be saddled with such spend his days at home in peace, satis- fied with the esteem he does not pos- The wheat of|Sess and the laurels he had not the ability to gain. > this: That tens of thousands of human be- ings are starving to death in India but the civilized world is stirred only toa fraction of the interest and feeling that was brought about by the prosecution of a single man, Dreyfus. Why?—Duluth News-Tribune. Well, it may be because that in the Dreyfus case a powerful nation was arrayed against one man, while the starving people of India are under the rule and protection of the most power- ful nation on earth. Dreyfus had only his proof of innocense and the labors of devoted friends to aid him, while the people of India are wards of a nation that has hundreds of mil- hons of dollars to squander. Then, again, perhaps the American people think that any nation that is able to spend over a milhon dollars a day in an attempt to subjugate a peace-lov- ing, industrious race in South Africa, should also be able to take charge: of the starving people in lands of which she has already taken forceable pos- session. Over three hundred mil- lions of dollars expended in the Boer war; fifty millions of people starving in India—that is English civilization. fame A Farm Srock AND HomME says that in one number of a late daily paper these headlines were found: ‘Indus- trial stocks (trust stocks) booming agam.” ‘Railroad earnings unpre- cedented.” “American Steel & Wire Co,.’s net earnings $13,000,000 last year.” “Cattle prices sickingly low.” “Hogs off again.”’ “Wheat lower,” “Corn and oats down in sympathy with it.” If this is a “calimity howl,” says F, S, & H., “we can’t help it.” (ay AUR ne ARTY THE St. Paul Pioneer Press, in an able editorial on the forestry agitation now going onin the East and North- west, has the following to say of the ne- cessity of commencing practical work in this state: “Minnesota has millions of acres of lumbered or ‘cut-over’ lands now lying waste, unsalable, pil- ing up tax bills against their owners, waiting thé action which was antici- ; pated when our last legislature passed to have been just what the people of| the law establishing our state forestry the courtry always considered it—a| board and empowering that board to} - ai of which were approved and ordered Republican conspiracy. A mulatto'teceive donations of such lands for ai statement of the county attorney was x instigators—the real perpetrators—of ; | arduous duties, but will permit him toj H In connection with the Indian famine note forestry purposes—also any other lands better suited for forests than for agriculture. The settlement of these lands by agriculturists is very improb-! aple; their utilization for forestry pur- poses under private ownership is im- practicable, if for no other reason, from the simple fact that in such ownership the taxes will eat up all the probable revenue which might other- wise accrue after 70 or 100 years. The waste lands are now a detriment not only to their owners but to the growth of the state. Let them be turned over to the state, and the forestry board can so use them that future generations shall see in them the sources of large state revenues, les- sening taxation, increasing the means available for education and benevo- lence—a perpetual blessing. As an additional incentive to the giving of these lands to the state, the law pro- vides that two thirds of the net reve- nue derived therefrom may go to such public educational institution or sys- tem, within the state, as the grantor shall designate.” Ree A, Continue Judge Holland. W,. 8. McClenahan isan able and brilliqnt er; he is a thinking man, ané such we rejoice that he has seen the error of his political belief and come into the Republican old. A little more boasting on the sub, by the Republican press, however, will ma! people suspect that a desire to fill the di taict judgship had a whole lot to do with b political conversion. We have great respect for Mac but know no reason why Judge Holland shouldn’t continue to occupy the position he so loug has filled with credit.— s Lake Voice (Republican.) Of Course.
