AN INDEPENDENT PRESS.

We do not know where the fol-
lowing came from. It was taken
from the Boulder Age and credited
to an exchange. There is so
much truth in it that it is repro
duced. Is there any big paper
that isn't owned and controlled by
corporations? When it comes to
a show down the best Of them ele-
vate their tails. This man who
ever he is, in talking about the
independent press knows a thing
or two. He says what is the
truth and what is known to be
the truth by every man who has
worked on big paper. There is
some honesty in the country press,
but what this man says about
the big dailies is true. Read

"At dinner recently given the

to reply to the toast. An Indepen-
dent Press Knowing we had no
independent press among the
powerful papers OF the nation, he
for q long time refused to reply,
but being insisted on to do SO,
said:
There is no such thing in
America as an independent press,
unless it is out in the country
towns. You are all slaves. You
know it and I know it. There is
not one of you who dare express

Of leading journalist is to dis
tort the truth, to lie outright, to
pervert. to vilify, TO fawn at the

the tools Of vassals of rich men
behind the scenes. We are jump
ing jacks. They pull the string

talent, our possibilities are all the
property OF other men. We are

The explanation OF the course
persued by the press is simple.
The corporations support the
paper that works for their inter
ests. The people who are anxious
to fight the corporations will not
subscribe to the anti-corporatioa
paper il they can borrow it from

THE PARABLE UPSET.
Federal Jurors Who Pronounce
Uncle Sam Stingy.

Ouclc Saus otEnEys
Men who serve OH iuries are but NOR
tai. but they are supposed to love JUS
tiee and fair dealing. A number of
them who have been in attendance upon
the district court during the past two
weeks decided a ease yesterday which
they were not impanneled or sworn In
the regular way to decide. Yet they
tried it first and swore afterWards-each
man in his own peculiar way. Some OF
the oaths were of more azure hue
than others, yet they were neverthe
less all highly colored and en-
phatlc. The jurors were assisted at the
hearing by the court, and were COM
PEELED finally to submit, to-a decision
adverse to their ideas of right and JUS
tice. At this they sWore more-not
loud, it is true, but deep-and reargued
the cause before the court. The facts
in the case are that about 100 jurors have
been in attendance upon court for the
past two weeks. They received their
pay yesterday, but unlike the parable
related by the greatest of teachers. they
did not at all receive the same sum of
money, but, like the laborers in the VINE
yard alluded to, they received the same
daily compensation. They each received
pay for the number OF days actually in
service as jurors ranging from 50 to $40
for as many days service. Those who
received less than $40, argued that they
ought to receive dollar day for each
ten days, as it was a loss of time and
money to them to serve as jurors at all.
1t was claimed by some that that time
was worth from $3.50 to So day, and
that the law ought not to require them
to do jury service for so small consld-

tor Donnelly. The whole trouble
between the two seems to have
arisen out of Fishs failure to
be elected state lecturer at its late an
nual meeting-at least the last issue OF
the Great West is the first that ever
ventured to criticise the Sage.
At yesterdays meeting Of the eXecu-
tive committee the whole matter was
brought up by several of the members
Directing to the official organ venturing
to abuse member of the executive
committee. The last issue of Fish's
paper was filled with abuse of
Miss Mcdonald, and the members
of the committee objected to this,
Mr.. Donnelly with the rest. At the lat
ter's suggestion Fish was summoned
before the board and asked to tone
down his paper. This he declined to do,
saying that he didn't care whether his
paper remained the official organ OF not.
The cause of the doctors independence
may be traced to the fact that Thomas
Clark, of Minneapolis, was awarded the
contract for printing the $1,000 constitu-
tions. An attempt was made to pass a
resolution in the interest of Fish's hail
insurance cempany.but this failed, and
a referee will be appointed to examine
both the Fish and the Austin company'S
and report to the committee.

FIGHTING TO A FINISH.
To Prevent the Extradition {
White to New JERSEY,

To Prevent the EXtPadition Of
White to New Jersey.
Joseph White was yesterday re-
manded by Judge Thomas of the United
States district court to the custody OF
the sheriff of Ramsey county upon
final hearing of the habeas corpus case.
White was wanted at Eau Claire to an
swer to charge of stealing about $1,000
worth of silks and valuableS from
store. He was arrested in this city and
discharged upon a writ of habeaS cor
puS by Judge Kelly because no warrant
had been issued. He was then arrested
upon warrant. His attorney, Judge
j. McCafferty, again applied to the dis
trict court of Ramsey county for writ
of habeas corpus. In the meantime
made upon the authorities here for
the person of White, and another writ
of habeas corpus was granted, which
was set for hearing before Judge Brill
next Monday. An application was also
made to the United States district court
for the writ of hapeaS corpus, which was
decided yesterday. The question was
raised as to the right of the federal
court to jurisdiction while the state au-
thorities had proceedings pending, aud
the consequent right of appeal from the
United States circuit court. Judge
Thomas stated that new question in
practice to him had been raised. but he
would decide to remand the prisoner to
the state authorities pending proceed
lngS by them, but would reserve the
right to review the case again. He set
Tuesday for that purpose.
