Those Ashland Lands

Ex-Representative McCord of the
Ninth Wisconsin district, had long
conference with Commissioner Carter
over the lands ut Ashland, which have
been theEcause OF so much trouble to
people in that vicinity. 1t was first the
missioner's intention to sell the
pine to the highest bidder, but it seems
that these lands can not be sold out
right but must be homesteaded. There
is however, provision of law that will
allow the land office to sell to the
highest bidder the right of entry, but
each tract enterd must then be lived
upon for fourteen months. OF course,
the wealthy pine men would find men
to bid for them. Mr.. McCord says
that poor men would have no show
and that John III. knight and Colonel
Villas would gobble up the most
valuable lands. He is trying to assist
missioner Carter to reach solu-
ton of the difficulty.
Referring to the incident Of the
Green Boy school where four Catholic
sisters we're dismissed by Agent Kelsey,
whom Mr.. McCord recommended, he
said that Kelsey was all right, that the
secretary had sustained him in not re-
storing two of the teachers who We're
dismissed for cause and the other
two were restored.

Matters Political.

At present writing there is consider
able being said abont the actions of our
state legislature and, Judging from the
amount of scandal, there must be q
foundation for portion Of it. There
is more attention paid endeavoring to
discover whether some member was
dunk or received moaey to brighten
his Legislative faculties than is devoted
to the legitimate industries of the coun-
try. The term is now prolonged two
months farther than the party of "re-
form" was so profuse in promising, and
the time OF adjournment is still far In
the distant future. The granger element
will soon have to return home to assist
in harvesting, when n cessation of the
labors of the august body will be call
ed.
One point it might be we'll to give q
few lines to, and is this: It has been
charged of Representative Munthe, of
Ironwood. that he is not fit person to
act in such an important Office. To his
rescue has::come Representative Doyle,
of the $780," who in q letter to the
Marquette Mining Journal, has this;
HE is worthy and grand repres-
entative OF noble race that is daily
contributing to the development and
prosperity of our state and nation"
Mr.. Doyle has been spoken of as
bright and honorable, as credit to his
region. The above statement to the
Journal is indicative that he is deluied
or dishonest in his utterance. Munthe
is drunkard and disgrace to himself,
his people, his district, and to oil
interests connected with the Office he
holds. It was no later than two weeks
ago to-day that we saw him on thesD.,
s. s. & A. passenger train EN- route to
Bessmer, beastly drunk. He registered
at the G. d. r. hotel, left his satchel
there, then went out and remainded ont
all night. 1t was just ut this time when
charges were preferred against him by
the Detroit Tribune. Mr.. Doyle in
coming to the rescue Of such man and
in such manner makes himself ridicu-
lous. The great nation Of whose people
Munthe is q representative do not own
him as their champion. They look to
something higher than that. Repres-
entative Doyle goes too far in his
attempt to bolster up such disgrace
full wreck by such pretty words. It is
OF the usual campaign order. The
voters OF the Gogebic we're unfortunate
in casting their ballots for such man,
and probably now regret their choice.
We know not whether, he took money
for legislative work or not. but we do
know that he is o miserable person
whose habits of intemperance unfit him
for business Of any kind Iron Ore.

@To exempt from taxation, to reduce
taxation upon property below the
standard of equality, o, all political
enconomists are agr ed, is to apply the
principle and no other, OF ountles and

other words, if rndef tie law, you msy
collect less than his share from nny
citizen you may also go farther and lay
taxes upon fellow citizens, for the
purpose Of voting bounty o the favcr-
ed one. Exemption, reduction and
subsidy have one and the same ground
to rest upon--favoritifm
Experience has shown" says Mr..
Dickinson. shat the only proper
method OF assessment for taxation is
by standard Of relative value of visible
property.
"a radical incease of taxation is not
proposed. While it is competent for
the state to legally tax rolling stock
and the equipment, the legislation
contemplated provides only for the i'm
position of tax upon real estate hold
ings.
"No argument against railroad tax
alton can stand, even on the moral
ground that business is poor: The
greatest fortunes in this country la, Q
been made, and are being made, in
this business, and 1t is still, rs it has
been capitals favorite investment.
Capital does not build roads or
maintain them from motives OF benevo-
Ience or from desire to serve mankind.
Capital invariably seeks thatwhich gives
the best return, rnd it is the strongest
possible evidence that money is made
where money continues to invest.

Don NJ. Dickinson Talks PLAIN
ly on Railroad Taxation

ly on railroad laxatlOn
A brief, by Don M. Dickinson in the
railroad taxation question now before
the legislature, has been printed in
pamphlet form, and will be distributed
widely. 1t is an answer to the argu-
ment by the railroad attorneys.
Mr.. Dickinson applies himself princi-
pally to the two following points made
by the railroad people;
1. That the railroads are public
agencies and therefore their property
ought not, on principle, to be taxed at
all, any more than that of the people
in court houses, school houses and
other public holdings.
2. Their property should not be
taxed because Of the alleged meager-
ness Of diyidends to stockholders.
Mr.. Dickinson says that @if anything
is prefectly established in every state
in this union and by polity. enforced
and applied by the supreme court Of
the United States, it is the reverse Of
this theory Of the relation Of railroads
to tie public and to the government.
"Given the power Of taxation over
thi /, in common with all other private
property, then when he apulies any
other rule than that Of equality before
tie law I, th, matter, that governmental
agcni he'he he belongs TO the excu-
iiye. isgi atie or the judicial branch
ol the government, violates his oath oi
Office.

Forest Fires Are Still RaainR.

SAU1r STE. MARIE, July 1O.-Forest
fires are still raging all over Chippewa
County. Rain fell last night but not
enough to check the progress of the fire.
Bridges on the South Shore road mar.
rowly escaped destruction and are still
in danger. The country north of here
and on the Canadian side is on fire. A
dozen or more farm buildings near De-
tour have been consumed and most of
Detour's population had their house
hold effects packed up ready to take on
boats into Lake Huron. Drummond
Island is ablaze and Bay Mills, where
the Hall & Mason company have Just
built one of the largest mills in Mich.
gan, is threatened. Pickford, Superior,
Gainesville, Rober and Scammon are in
general danger. No rainfall of any &C.
count for three months and everything
is parched. Dense smoke fills the all
and steamboats, have been delayed on
account of their inability to navigate
the river which is a cloud of dense
smoke. Indications now are for rain
which is the only relief. Manitoba,
Rodes, Manska, Devereaux, Godfrey,
Spinner and Ruater, which ran aground
yesterday, have been released uninjured.
The wind now is south and light.
Should itincrease in velocity small towns
throughout the country could hardly
escape destruction. The fires would
not in all probability reach the 500 as
wooded land is some three miles back.
No cases of loss of life has yet been re-
ported.

Adventures of Shipyvrecked Crew,

PH1PPsBURe, Me-, July 11.-Capt.
Joseph Perry, of barkent!ne 1.-THE
Hustler" has just arrived home from a
long sea voyage. The Hustler was
launched in Bath last November, and
sailed for Philadelphia light, thence for
Seattle with cargo of iron pipe While
going around the horn bad weather en-
countered and the vessel wrecked on a
sunken rock in Nassau Bay, forty miles
west of Deceit Island. The crew left in
boats with nothing but what they stood
in. and rowed to the island, ninety
miles, on which was a missionary
station called Ushurvia. with several
English missionaries and a station for
the relief of shipwrecked crews kept by
the Argentine republic, which also sends
its prisoners there. The captain saws
the five men who started across the
country from Sandy Point, bound for
the missionary station, were captured
by savages, bound to trees and fires
built around them, when one of the
men managed to get his hands free, and
drawing revolver, shot one of the In
dams, which SO frightened the rest of
them that they ran, and the men
escaped. After having spent twenty-five
days in this locality they left for Bnenos
Ayres.
