Uncle Gam seeks to Revoke . Patent ON
Valuable Real Estate.
City Attorney Robt. B. Smith and A. @.
Botkin, master in chancery Of the United
States court, returned from Butte
yesterday, having been ON
business connected with the
Hesperus lode case. This is lode claim
situated in an important part of Butte city,
and the issuance Of patent to the owners
the government now wants to revoke. 1.-THE
claim in question" says the Miner, Ella sit
uated in the eastern part Of the city and
embraces about twenty acres Of land worth,
it is estimated, about 500. 900. The orig
inal patent was issued to King and Ducie
seven or eight years ago. In 1887 suit was
brought against the owners, and, upon .
hearing Of the case at Deer Lodge, Judge
Galbraith declared the patent cancelled for
the reason alleged BY plaintiff, that no lead
was known to exist upon the lode at the
time the patent was issued, and for the fur
ther reason that defendant had failed to do
PEELED to do. King and Duoie appealed the
case to the supreme court of the then terri
tory, and secured reversal of the lower
courts finding. The matter was then trans
ferTed to the federal courts on appeal, where
it has lain dormant until revived within
the past few days. Commissioned Botkin
has been busily engaged for several days in
taking the testimony which, on the part of
the government, is quite voluminous.
Both before and since the ground was
patented, many people have taken up their
residences on the disputed land. Those
who settled there originally have. of course,
acquired no legitimate title, while those
who purchased will find recourse against the
man from whom they bought it in the event
present holders of the patent.
1.-THE evidence taken by Commissioner
Botkin will be submitted to Judges Sawyer
and Knowles at the next term of the federal
district court"

New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-10-08

A Southwestern Minnesota neWspa-
per having referred to-Congressman
John Lind as an Ignorant Norwegian, y
Mr.. Lind, upon having his attention
called to the article, Immediately wrote
to Senator Frank A. Day Of Martin
county, in which the paper was pub.
lished, as follows:
You may say to the editor that che
ignorant Norwegian will meet him
before an audience in your county in
joint discussion, and if he feels '.indis.
posed,' himself, he can appear by sub
stitute; and in the selection of the lat
ter I shall not hamper him by any limi.
tations as to place of abode, race. or
previous condition of servitude. Ishall
be at liberty to meet him or his substi-
tute between the 10Th and Goth of Octo-
Der. Yours, JOHN LIND.
There is little danger, however, that
the editor referred to will accept the
challenge. a man who is so bigoted
and narrow minded as he gives evidence
of being, could hardly have the brains
to meet a man Of the calibre of Mr..
Lind.

MR.. ERWIN AND GEN. BAKER.
The Siamese Twins of Minnesota
Politics Address New Ulm
Voters.

Lawyers and farmers they tell US
make strange hedfellows, but Erwin
and Baker seem to get along pretty well
together. The reason is perhaps that
Baker is not so much of a farmer as he
would have US believe. However,
promptly upon the appointed hour on
Thursday evening, these two orators
sat together upon the stage in Turner
Hall, patiently waiting for the audience
to arrive. When about three hundred
people, mostly from town, had taken
their seats, the music began. Baker
was the first one to sing his song, and
did SO to the tune of low tariff and less
combines. Erwin followed in similar
strain, playing upon the sYmpathies of
his hearers with IL skill, which on the
right kind of an audience would surely
have had telling effect. Each of these
gentlemen is master in his way. Each
knows the wants and whims of his list
eners and is capable of touching now
this chord and now that, as best snits his
purpose. But the New Ulm audience
was not of the right kind for the ocas-
sions. There were too many hard
shelled Republicans and Democrats
present to be caught by any sort of elo-
quence, and their efforts had about as
much effect as a Republican speech
would have on a gathering of the 'sgreat
nnwashed.'' Baker commenced by in.
Producing himself as the Alliance can
didate for congress. He had not sought
the nomination, he said, but it had come
to him as the wish of the Alliance, and
he accepted because his political creed
was in harmony with their meaning

hold over Mr. Paradis' own signature.
It contains cold, blunt charge, and if
it is false why doesn't Mr.. Wilson prove
it to be such? The difficulty is with
the records. They are too strong
against him. Like somebody's ghost
that you read about, they will not down.
But this is not the only case where
Mr.. Wilson has given evidence of being
an attachment of the railroads, pnre
and simple. We have cases nearer at
home, cases which are known bet
ter by the people If this vicinity
than are those of the Plainview and
Elgin folks. The building of the Red
wood Branch IS an instance. The ST..
Paul Dispatch in speaking of this said:
Mr.. Wilson, if he goes up into Redwood
county, may possibly explain and de-
fend, his course in the organization of
the scheme to build a railroad from
Sleepy Eye to Redwood Falls. This is
what a prominent man from Redwood
county had to say concerning that
transactions:
"Wilson and some of the other off
GERS OF the Winona & st. Peter road or.
ganized kind of side-show company
to build a branch road from Sleepy Eye
to Redwood Falls. Wilson was the
leader and director of the concern, and
he obtained 100000 in bonds from our
county as a bonus for building about
twenty-five miles Of road over a level
prairie. The bonus more than built
and equipped the road, but neverthe-
less, this company issued stock for
100000, which the main line assumed,
together with the stub branch, as we
call it, and to-day we are paying taxes
on the bonds and dividends on this wa
tered stock. You tell Wilson to come
up and explain this to our people. The
name of the company was the Mime
sofa Valley Railroad company, and its
articles of incorporation are recorded
in the Office of the secretary of state,
with Thomas Wilson as one of the di-
rectors. When the Chicago & North
western Railway Company or its Off
GERS have put any schemes on the people
in our section of the country, Wilson has
bossed the job
All these things carefully considered,
we are candidly of the opinion that
by the time Mr.. Wilson gets through
vindlcating himself, as he tried to do in
his Fergus speech, Mr.. Merriam
WiHhave been elected by a rousing ma
jority.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-10-08

OF course that it was such ever since he
failed to get what he wanted from the
Republicans. He then went on to de-
nounce trusts and to wipe the floor with
options, which allowed capital to take
the products OF the farm and gamble in
them at pleasure, putting them up ard
putting them down at will, but forgot
to say that a Republican Congress was
hurrying to passage bills intended to
knock out these towering combir ations.
From this eloquent plea against mono
poly he jumped onto the tariff. and in his
treatment of that much abused subject,
he rehashed all the old arguments that
were ever used by Democratic speakers.
He picked out small items that would
catch best with the farmers, ga1bled
them into falsehood and all out of pro-
portion and then termed them the truth.
In short it was catch speech all the
way through, full Of incorrect sayings
and Inconsistencies. To illustrate, he
would talk first about this glorious
country of ours, enlarge upon and eu.
logize its wonderful development, and
then all of sudden he, would flop over
and contradict all that he had said be-
fore by claiming that we were going to
ruin and terrible disaster unless some
new party arose and gathered in
strength until all these trusts and COM
bines had been swept away. 1t was
skilled hand working an audience for
all there was in it.
His arrangement of the Mckinley bill
was ridiculous. All the good features
of the bill he left untouched. Those
that could be twisted out OF shape were
treated with ridicule and jest,and he tried
to make the farmers believe that it was
the most outrageous measure that had
eyer gone on record in the history of
political economy. This of course was
greeted with applause by his Democra-
tic friends, but anyone who has studied
the bill knows that he was not telling the
truth.
When he had finished, Mr.. Erwin,
the Tall Pine. stepped forward, and
after waiting awhile, as if he ex-
pected someone to say ''Hello Bill,
fired forth his invective against mono.
poly and the protective tariff. The
speech was disappointing one. The
majority who went to the hall, went pre-.
pared tollsten to a display of eloquence,
such as Erwin alone is capable of Civ
ing, but they were sadly disappointed.
1t was only once or twice during his
hours talk that he rose to the impas-
stoned oratory for which he is famous,
and then only for few short sentences.
The bulk of his song was in figures and
statistics and of these the people soon
got tired. He said one thing however
that should find a place in print, and
that was that he was not candidate for
Office and never would be. In regard
to the report, which appeared in the
Review tnat he was aspiring to the seat
of Senator G. X. Davis, .his friend" as
he termed him, he labeled it as s.witty
lie" This may and may not be so, but
we are not prepared to accept of it
without allowance. Erwin is smooth;
smooth as silk. A mere statement from
him, that he is not candidate for Office
and never will be goes for little It
does not mean that he would not ac-
cept of Davis seat if it was rendered
to him by Alliance and Democratic
votes.

The night was dark and stormy,
Yet gaiiantly they s,rode,
A country lad and lassie,
Along the heavy road.
The way was dark and dreary,
Yet biithe OF heart were they
For, shifting in the distance,
The lights OF London lay.
Oh cleaning hghts of London,
Gem of the city's crown,
What fortunes lie beneath You.
Oh, lights of London towni
With faces worn and weary,
Which told of sorrows load.
One night man and woman
Crept down q country road.
They sought their native village,
Hearebroken from the fray,
While shining still behind them
The lights OF London lag.
Oh. cleaning lamps OF London.

Yonr victims eyes won d weep them.
