Pioneer Press: G. For the benefit
Of suffering humanity please let us
know through the columns of the
Pioneer Press the meaning of the
word "Pan'' used in conjunction with
American in speaking Of our South
American visitors? A. The term
"Pan-American Congress" applied to
the gathering Of the representatives OF
the nineteen American nations who
are making a tour of the country,
puzzles many well informed people,
who only think Of Pam as the name
of the old Greek god, usually re
presented with the horns, hoofs and
legs Of q goat, and playing on the
musical instrument known as PAN 5
pipes" Pan" is a Greek word,
meaning "all," and ne have it rs a
prefix in asnumber Of words, such as
"panacea,'' all-hea1ing; "pandect,'
sall-containing;; panorama - a view Of
all; 'pantheist," a believes in all the
gods, and SO on. The word. has come
into common use of late years in con-
nection with great movements toward
consolidation. Thus we have "Pan:
anglican to describe the effort to
unite all the Episcopal churches;
"Pan-Slay,stic,'' the movement to
unite all the slav peoples; PAN Teu-
tonic, !" " Pan-Latinic, '''all the French,
Italian, Portuguese, Spaniards, etc.

The results of the fall elections
afford the Democrats lots q
enjoyment, but neither party gains 81
loses any thing in national politics.
The Democrats carry the state elec-
tons in the old Democratic states 81
Maryland, Mississippi, Virginia, New
jersey, the Republican carry Nebraska
aud Massachuetts, and III Ohio the
Democrats have the governor and
legislature and they have the gov
ernor in Iowa. Tie Republicans
will re-elect their senators, and SC
will the Democrats. Ohio has never
had two Republican senator's, and
the old condition will continue. The
election ola Democratic governor il,
Iowa is on account Of the same anti
prohibition sentiment that elected a
Democrat as governor Of Kansas a
few years ago. That either state is
anything but Republican on national
issues no one is 50 foolish as to claim.
Its well that Democrats should ex-
tract all the comfort they can from
the results. #-.

DAKOTA MONEY SHARKS

A St., Paul paper publishes the
following statement in regard to the
way the chattel mortgage sharks are
robbing the farmers Of Dakota:
Secretary Tallmadge of the Cham.
Der Of Commerce related yesterday
the condition of affairs in the Devils
Lake region, as found by Mr.. Brack'
EFT of Minneapolis, who drove all over
that country few days ago. His
experience confirms the stories that
distress does exist. not with al
families, of course, rs some will be
able to pull through the winter with
out outside assistance, but fully q
per cent will have to be helped on
account of losing crops by the
drouth. Small crops were raised by
Il number Of settlers on new breaking
but where the earth had been broken
in previous years and the remains Of
the old crop plowed into the earth
the crops were complete failure
The greatest difficulty which Mr.
Bracket encountered is the money
sharks. They are sapping the life
blood of the country and impoverish'
ing the poor farmers, who have given
them chattel mortgages on thei1
horses and stock on. ruinou;
terms. For instance, one farmer
had given a shark mortgage
on fine team Of horses for $50, and
it has already cost him over $3(
in payments Of interest to enable him
to float for a year, while he still owe:
the principal. The poor farmers are
completely in the hands Of these
sharks, and this will eventually de.
populate the country. Mr.. Brackett's
iaea, which is a good one, is that after
supplying The needs Of the people ii
the way Of food and clothing, the
next thing to be done is for the
business men and capitalists. Of St
Paul and Minneapolis to form trus,
company which will loan the poor
farmers money on their chattels at {
legal rate Of interest and secure then
from the clutches Of the sharks"

SECRETARY BLAINE.
From The Minnea polls Times. IL. 3

from ne lh1uHcaPOllS AAhices8 So ~
James G. Blaine IS the greatest
secretary Of state that this \ country
has ever had. He is less Of a diplomat
than some of his prede ors, and he
lacks the wise solemnity Of others.
But for keen appreciation Of the real
functions Of the state department., for
comprehensive knowledge Of the
relationships existing between the
United States and all other nations
with which the contract Of this country
Is important, and for resolutec
industry in planning and executing
policies for the advantage Of American
interests in every corner Of civilization,
Mr.. Blaine is peerless. His career as
statesman could have had no filter
conclusion Of the presidency than his
incumbency of the secretaryship Of
state at q time like the present when
commercial conquestisnearly the sole
attention Of our people. !
An illustration Of the splendid
sweep of Mr., Blaine's mind is the
mastery manner in which heis bring.
ing together the naturally allied
countries Of this continent and plan
ming for their mutual commercial al
vantage. Every preparation for the
Pan American congress is perfect,
and we look for its work to prove Of
iuestimable value to all Of the
countries interested, including the
United States, whose interests at stake
are larger than those Of any other
nation taking part in the congress.
III the selection of ministers and
consuls abroad and in the business Of
instructing them for the proper per-
formance of their duties Mr.. Blaine's
far-seeing craftsmanship earns still
further ecomium, and his uniform
courtesy und diynety ofbearing unde,
all circumstances is making his ad
ministration OF the department Of
the department Of state more con
spicaous than anybody had expected
it to be in these times when We are al
peace with all the world. If the dis
tinguished secretary lives to complete
his term he will leave a record Of
achievement unmatched BY that O.
any predecessor in that field.

Mr. s.. Thomas Fortune, Of New

this call to members Of the Afro

To the Colored Citizens Of the Re-
public: Being convinced that the

proposed BY me two, years ago, to sue
cessfillly combat the denial Of our
constitutional and inherent rights, 50
generally denied or abridged threugh-
out the republic, and, being urged to
do so by members Of branch leagues
all over the country, |, with much re-
luctance, issue a call to all the
branches Of the Afro American league
and invite all clubs and societies or
ganized to secure the rights denied
the race to meet their representatives
in national convention at Nashville,
Tenn, Wednesday, Jan. Is, 1890, for
the purpose Of organizing 4 national
Afro-American league, the basis of
representation to be three delegates
for every 100 members constituting
the branch league club, or society de-
string to cooperate in the movement
for national organization. Core
spondence from all organizations de.
string to join in the movement is in.
vited. 81 4. r.
"The idea Of national organiza-
ton Of the colored people, said Mr..
Fortune Monday, occurred to me
two years ago when l was editor Of
the Freeman. It should be built
somewhat after the method Of. the
Irish league. What the colored PEG,
|ple desire is organization for their
best material advancement, and to Sc.
cure for themselves, as far as agitation
through organized efforts can do it
the possession OF these rights which
are inherent in all citizenship by con-
stitutional conference"
In an editorial article on the sub.
ject, which will appear in the Age on
Nov. s, Mr., Fortune will say: "Goad:

SETTLERS MUST SUFFER-.

Z $50 @
WASHINGTON. Nov. Aug. Is,
1887 Secretary Lamar decided that
there was no legal authority for estab.
fishing a forty-mile Or second in
|demnity belt for the Northern Pacific
railroan grantin Minnesota, and as
the company had been allowed to
select quantities Of land in such belt,
the commissioners Of the general land
Office submitted to the secretary tile
list OF such selections, with the that
they should be cancelled. It seems
that the secretary hesitated about
taking such action, although his
August decision had been reiterated
by him and submitted to the attorney
general the question whether the law
does provide second indemnity limit
for the grant mentioned. On Jan. II,
1888, the attorney general rendered
an opinion adverse to the decision Of
Secretary Lamar, holding that such
limit is authorized by law, which is
in accordance with decisions by the
district court of Minnesota and the
circuit court Of the United States.
Secretary Villas held the attorney
generals opinion until January 4,
1SS9-thirteen days less than one
year--when he adopted and
promulgated it and directed the COM
missioner to adjust the grant in &C.
cordance Herewith. In the meantime
the local land officers at St. Cloud
had been directed by the general land
Office to disregard selections and
applications by the company for lands
in such belt, and had admitted a large
number, nearly 800 in homestead
presumption entries, for lands embrac.
ed in said belt and covered by North.
ern Pacific selections made in 1888.
By letter of March Is, 1889, the com.
missioner advised the St. Cloud
officers substantially that in view Of
the attorney generals opinion and the
instructions of the secretary there
under the entries were illegal, ano
would sooner or latter be Cancelled
but that any ofthe parties who desire
to undertake to prove that the lands
were illegal or improperly selected
for the railroad purposes might b.
afforded an opportunity to do so
while those who did not wish to engage
in controversy with the railroad
company might relinquish their entire!
without prejudice to their right te
apply for moneys paid thereon, and
subsequently, make new entries
Many of the entrymen embraced thi:
opportunity their claims. By de
cisions of to-day Commissioner Grof
has held for cancellation 1852 of tn,
entries described, being all except {
a few having other complications still
remaining upon the records. Th'
trouble, annoyance and expense Incl
dent to these claims was principitatet
upon the settlers primarily by Lamar
blunder, but principally by the delay
by Villas in promulgating the attorne.
generals opinion, which delay it i
claimed was made purely for politica
purposes, it being feared that promp
PRONUNCIATION of it would prove
stumbling block in Cleveland's way t.
reelection.
