Hates Sake Se We are told by the press that Uncle Joe Cannon, speaker-to-be of congress of the United States, will ary to restore to that branch of our government its old-time power. If Joe succeeds in his “try” he will have to form an aliance with the minority. The Republican party will not try. Pasa NotwitTHsTanpING the prompt jynchings of negro rape devils the un- speakable outrages upon white women and white children continues. Near- ly every daily paper that comes to hand contains one or more accounts giving details of the crimes of these monsters. And yet there are those who denounce the righteous wrath of the;people that hurries these wretches to hell. Prodaesee rasan, A ist of twenty injuris from the careless and criminal use fireworks in Duluth on the 4th, was reported in the papers ofthat city. Parties who were in Duluth on the 3rd and 4th say [that nearly everybody there seemed to act more like crazy men than sane human beings. Duluth may grow to bea city in time, and be regulated by modern municipal Jaws, but she hasn’t reached that stage yet. Tue passing of another national an- niversary—with its accompanying fatalities, sightless eyes, fingerless hands, bruises resulting 1n lockjaw, broken and bruised limbs, destroyed property, runaway teams, and the thousana and one other casualties that follow in the wake of the deadly ex- plosives that are in evidence on the ‘Fourth of July—all these again bring ‘to mind the thought that stringent ,laws should be enacted fdr the sum- _gmary suppression of about nine tenths ‘of the explosives now manufactured and sold for celebrating purposes. Fortunately there were no casualties in Grand Rapids, thanks to a heavy rainstorm and the more than ordinary good sense of our citizens and litle boys. It would be a_ wise act, however, to make such ordinance as will provide against the possibility of danger from the antics of fools of the future. The report from Chicago on the Fourth conveyed the interesting news that the day’s record surpassed all others for carnage throughout the country and piled up a total of maim- ed and injured that came fully up to the predictions of the most pessimistic. In Duluth alone there were more than twenty injuries, with one killng. ee opine Tue Midway News is responsible for tell..g the following facts: “The country editor holds a unique position in public affairs, If he amounts to anything he must speak out, If he speaks out he must speak out in black and white. He must ‘either be con- sistant or lose public respect. He comes in direct contact with profes- sional busy bodies who operate in secret. The only good work the coun- try editor can do is to help push back the secret schemers and speak iatel- ligently and honestly; speak early and late; and above all be consistent, The county editor has no more dangerous enemy than the crooked politician.” RARE Seset tea _ A. P. Stickney, president of the C. & G. W. railway and one of the ablest railroad men and commercial statisti- cians in the country, jarred the Herald- Review the other day with some of his figures. He was in Duluth, and in a newspaper interview he is quoted as saying that the iron ore pro- duct of Minnesota will this year, be the same in value as that of the hens of Iowa, or about $40,000. ~ lf this statement is true—and Suckney is certainly good authority—Minnesota iron magnates have some reason to feel a little jealous of those Iowa hens. see i ee J. Apam Bebe can’t even forego the temptation to “kid” himself when other material is not at hand. Here is what he is reported to have sad in Washington the other day: “Times are so prospercus out our way that it) is difficult to find capable men who are willing to come to congress, and I was sent here merely to avoid an entire vacancy in the Duluth district. The work, however, is very agreeable to me, and I have concluded to re- raain several terms.” Some fellows are always taking exceptions to what the newspapers have to say of them, observes an ob- serving editor, As a matter of fact the man who gets mad at what the newspapers say in the way of news and about him_ is generally just the man, who should return thanks three times a day. for the things the news- papers know about him and don’t print. There 1s not one man in ten that the newspaper could not pnnt something about that he does not want the world to know. The idea is to be’ thankful for what the news- paper man knows and does not tell, aot ae Sr Roy Brown, a fireman on the Northern Racific, did 4 heroic act the other day, near Big Lake. He cour- ageously saved the life of a little child at the imminent peril of his own, The child had wandered onto the track and it being impossible to stop the heavy train, Roy Brown quickly gained the pilot and throwing himself as far ahead as possible he snatched the hittle one from certain death and rolled off into the ditcr, neither being injured to any extent, The Magnet Apologizes. To judge from the gustfullness and bombastic wording of a comment contained in Wednesday’s Magnet anent a news item which appeared in the last issueof the Herald-Review, Mr. Elmer Brock evidently appeared in the Magnet office with blood in his eye and and with terrible invectives flying fast and furious from his tongue. And thereat, it would appear, did the Magnet reporter become tmuch frightened and profusely promised to make elaborate apologies for a mis- take of names made by the Herald- Reviewin the aforementioned news item. Indeed the Magnet did apolo- gize, forall of which this paper is duly thankful, inasmuch as we are not in the apology business. The Herald-Review will always hasten to correct an error, and especially when the error may work an injury toany man or woman. Mr. Elmer Brock met the Herald Review editor and stated that his name had been used instead of that of his uncle’s, Theo- dure Brock, and that he would like to have the proper cverection made. This, of course, we would gladly do. But the gentleman did not show any ill temper, apparently realizing that the mistake was unintentional. We are sure it was not Mr. Brock’s in- tention to so badly frighten the Mag- net reporter, and it is our hope that Hughie ‘will fully recover from the effects of the terrible shock to his nervous system. Speaking of apolo- gies, it would be highly proper for Elmer to make amends to the Magnet. ead AL: abi J. M.

Seelye in Grand Rapids every Saturday during the season, ITASCA’S PUBLIC PARK. Proceedings of Commissioners to Acquire Title Must be Gone Over Again. When everything was moving along smoothly and the county seemed in a fair way to soon be possessed of a public park to be used for agricultu- ral fairsand other purposes, it was suddenly discovered that the commis- sionerers had not proceeded accord- ingly to law and are now just where they were when the matter was first taken up—and a little moreso, An attempt has been made to lay the biame on Attorney Spear for ‘not hav- ing advised the commissiuners how to proceed in the premises On the contrary, Mr. Spear claims that his advise in the matter had not been sought. The trouble arose over the tact that a yote of the people must be had upon the proposition for the county to purchase lands for agricul - fair purposes. If the vote is favor- able the commissioners are then au- thorized to buy. of law has not been complied with. In reply to the claim that the com- missioners sought advise from the county attorney which was not given them unti: recently, Mr. Sj) ear says: “No deeds were placed in my hands in January last for examination, cr any other purpose. The fair grounds deal had been closed the September before, the consideration paid, and the transaction was not pending in January, in any sense, The purchase of the two twenty acre tracts was a finality as far as it could be made so, long before I was installed in office. In Jangary, it is true, the abstract was handed me, but it was the ab- stract only, and this was not done for the purpose of having the title of the country reviewed. An adverse ciaim had been made by J. J. McDonald of Swan River, as Lnow recall the name, and the abstract was consulted to find out what foundation the claim had. By. the abstract the claimant appeared to have no interest iu the land, and the investigation was pur- sued no further. The adverse claim so made, was the subject on which information was sought of me, and not the negotiations of the September previous. As a matter of fact, the) responsibility of the county attorney does not begin until he is applied to | is for information. Until that hour he is no more respensible for the voard | of county commissioners than he is! for the acts of the sheriff, the clerk of courts, or any other officer of the corporation.” House Moving. / | Chas.
