1T PAYS TO GET THE BEST.

Some people think economy means
buying cheap things-articles that
cost the least money Of any Of their
kind. True economy is getting the
best you can for the amount of money
you have to spend. A really service
able, well made article, even at a good
price, is worth a houseful Of shoddy
manufactures, made only to sell.
There is no greater fallacy than to
suppose that Except in rare instances)
you can get a dollars worth Of any.
thing for less than dollar. Trades
men do not get rich by giving away
their goods, and it is safe to say that
a man is in his business for the profta
and not amusement. If you travel
it is economy of money, Of time, Of
comfort, to buy your ticket over such
a line as 1.-THE Burlington" where
speed, salty and equipment are all up
to the very highest standard and the
utmost care taken to keep them so,
For tickets. rates, maps etc., call on
your local ticket agent, or write to

Minneapolis Lumberman: Under
the law Of congress allowing the CON-
missioner Of the general land office to
issue permits to cut timber in the
mining states for purposes actually
needed, Commissioner Carter has re-
oeived more applications than there
is growing timber in the mountains,
and whenever an application is made
it IL followed by q protest. He de-
termined to refer both application
and protest to the special commission
or of the land office with instructions
to make thorough investigation and
report as to the merits Of the applica-
ton and the grounds upon which the
protests are made. In the same con-
nection the agent will be instructed
to observe if there are desirable par
ticular tracts of timber which for the
best interests Of the country should
be included in the timber reservations
by proclamation of the president,
where the lines Of timber reservations
should be drawn.

MINNESOTA LANDS,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7th.-As ye1
no action has been token by the land
Office officials looking toward the with.
drawal of lands in Minnesota, in the
Duluth district, under the law passed
last winter authorizing the president
to make such reservation.
1t was the general impression that
the law provided for Withdrawals only
in arid land states, but it now develops
that there is nothing to prevent the
president from proclaiming that
public land in any state or section
shall no longer be subject to sale and
settlement.
There was q rumor abroad that an
effort was being made to have a large
amount of timber land in Northern
Minnesota reserved. Commissioners
Carter says that nothing Of the kind
has been presented to him, but if it is
it will receive due consideration. All
the talk included in by congressman
when this bill was under consideration
indicated that in giving the president
the power to reserve timber lands it
would be in the interests Of dry land
states; but . recent examin 1tion Of the
section Of the law shows that the
power of the president is limited only
to lands still in possession of the gov
eminent. The section is as follows:
"That the president Of the United
States may from time to time set
apart and reserve in any state or
territory having public land bearing
forests in any: part Of the public lands,
wholly or in part coveredwith timber
or underground whether Of commercial
value or not, as public reservations,
and the president shall, by public
proclamation, declare the establish
ment ofuch reservations and limits
thereof.
j Any cot Of men who want to get
timber lind reserved from market
may under that: section. aaeeure spch
reservation if they can convincssth
president that it is the proper: thing
to do. It would be = surprise to those
who hope to secure some Of the
valuable pine lands in Northern
Minnesota to find that they have been
reserved from sale and. settlement. l.

, RIPARIAN RIGHTS.
A Case Which Practically Reverses
Previous Opinions.

Pioneer Press; One of the most i'm
portant decisions of the Minnesota
supreme court during this term Was
fled with Clerk Helm Yesterday prac-
tically reversing the opinion Of the
supreme court for some years ON tho
subject of Riparian rights" The
case is that of Giles Gilbert, appel
liant, vs.. William X. Eldridge and
others, respondents, and is brought to
determine the ownership of certain
land on Rices point in the Bay Of
Duluth. Mr.. Rice, the original own
er, plated the land named for him,
which was practically under water.
The city Of Duluth, by consent Of the
legislature, caused canal to be dug
between Minnesota point and the
Minnesota shore Of the bay. This
had the effect Of flooding the lot be-
longing to the defendant. In addi-
ton, it flooded the street between the
lots, and slowly encroached upon the
lot Of the plaintiff: Thereupon the
defendant attempted to reclaim his
property by reflling. The PLAINTIFF
claim by the action of the water the
riparian rights which appertain to
land on navigable water revert to them
and that the rights of the defendants
were extinguishable and brought suit
to restrain them from filling in the
lots. The court affirms the decision
Of the lower court. The following j,
the syllabus:
The riparian right Of the owner Of
lands on the shore of navigable water
as on our great lakes, to reclaim, i'm.
prove and occupy the land submerged
by shallow water beyond the shore
may be disassociated from the shore
land by act Of the owner so that a
conveyance by him Of the shore land
plated it together with the shadows
beyond the shore into town blocks and
streets. The owner after such plot
ting having conveyed an inland block
with reference to the plating and the
water having gradually encroached
upon the land until the shore line
reached that block. Held, that tho
riparian right to reclaim and use the
plated blocks and streets in the water
did not attach to the block thus con-
veyed an incident thereto. Judge
ment affirmed.

Tariff No Issue Now.

John Sherman made a speech
at the recent Ohio state fair. The
opening paragraph of that speech
is as follows:
propose, therefore, in a plain
way, to give you my views on the
tariff question, now on trial between
the two great political parties of
the United States. 1t is somewhat
unfortunate that this purely bust
ness question of public policy is
being discussed on party lines, but
it is made so by the state conven-
tons Of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties Of Ohio, and we must
accept it as such, though | greatly
prefer, and intend to treat it here,
as far as | can, as purely econom-
ical and not as party question
For the past quarter of a century
both the Old parties have been kick
ing dust in the eyes of the people
for the purpose of making them
believe that the tariff is q political
issue. Now what's the matter with
the tariff if it's not political issue2
Now then, it hasn't been one for all
these years past, and John Sherman
now admits that he and his CO.
demagogues have been lying to the
people all these past years. One of
the Republican league orators ad-
mTtted, In our presence, few days
ago, that the Republican party had
done nothing for the farmers and
laborers of the country for ten
years. How long will the voter
vote to keep such party in power?

A Cloyen Foot Behind 1t.

Wouldn't the Shylock bond-hold-
ers chuckle if those Republican
demagogues, ETC., could hitch onto
some scheme through which they
could nullify and repudiate the law
and contract Of the government,
and thereby stop the pensions of
the old, disabled ex-Union musket-
holders that are going into the Peo-
pies party You see the govern
ment is now paying out in pensions
from 100000, 900 to $3.50, 100000
per annum. This is about all the
money there is that goes direct
from the government into circula-
ton among the people, that some
body is not paying interest on.
Now the only way to contract the
circulation Of this money is by
stopping the pensions Of the old,
disabled broken-down ex-Union
musket-holder hence the howl Of
stopping pensions means unadulter-
ated cussedness and contraction of
the money circulation Don't say
there is not cloven foot behind
that howl of "stop his pension"
