Nancy Hanks performance starts
anew the discussion as to the fastest at

two-minute gait will ever be reached.
When one recalls that, within the mem-

ting record has been lowered over thirty
seconds. it is altogether probable that a
two minute gait will eventually be
reached. Toledo Blade.

1T is FRAUDULENT.
The Old Scheme of Helping the
Railroads Out of Taxation Again
RohS Tn

II The people of Minnesota are inclined
Ito handle proposed amendments to the
constitution of the state with great con-
/ servatism. Hardly state election has
I been held in the past ten years without
/ one or more amendments have been on
lsthe ticket. several of which have been
discovered to cover some scaiy piece of
1obberY. Two years ago an amendment
! ithat would virtually have repealed the
gross-earniRgs tax OH railroads was de-
feated.
This ought to have settled that ques-
ton, but it seems that the same Old
trick has been set up again, and this
year the people of the state are con-
frOnted with the same proposition.
1t should again be voted down by an
overwhelming majority.
Col. John C. Wise. the veteran editor
of the Mankato Review, tells why in
tue last issue of his paper under the
heading "a Fraudulent Amendment"
The article follows:
In the Democratic platform special
reference is made to proposed consti-
/ tutlonal amendment known as Senate
File NJ. i24. and the people of the state
are advised to unite III defeating it.
There is an Interesting history con-
nected with this amendment, which
could not be given at length in the plat
form. but which is necessary to a proper
| understanding of the matter.
The bill was Introduced III the senat0
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-08-22

by Senator Leavitt, of Meeker county,
and as framed by him was intended to
provide for taxing sleeping car, tele-
phone, express and foreign and dOmeS-
tic insurance companies. and similar
organizations doing business In this
state; and also providing that mining
corporations might be taxed specific
sum upon their products. 1t was in
tended to reach class of corporations
the state, but which has so far contrib
uted comparatively little or nothing to
the revenues of the state.
In this form it passed the senate, but
during its tendency in the house and
before passing that body, the word
railroad was inserted in the title and
body of the act enumerating the corpo-
rations to which its provisions applied.
In the hurry OF the closing days of the
session this change was not noticed by
its author, aud it became law.
There is already a constitutional
amendment levying tax of per cent
upon the gross earnings of the railroads
III lieu of all other taxes, and the reve-
nue. 10 the state from this source last
year was about $725.000 and it is an
nually increasing. When it was
enacted the railroads were poor.
they held large quantities OF
lands granted by the general govern
ment exempt from taxation, and the
state received very slight return from
this exemption. The argument made in
Its behalf was that it would assist the
roads III their development and in set
ting up the country, and when their
business grew to degree Of prosperity
the state would receive lis reward in
revenue nearly or quite sufficient to nay
It's current expenses without resort to
other taxation. We are gradually reach
ing that condition of things, the roads
have parted with their surplus lands.an
in the present rate of taxation they are
bearing a reasonable share of the eA-
pense OF maintaining our state govern
Inent.
Now the ratif cation of this proposed
constitutional amendment would repeal
the constitutional amendment which is
working so satisfactorily, place the rail
road companies in the list with other
and minor corporations, and give to the
Legislature the power TO fix from time
TO time what this tax shall be. Every
voter knows what this means. Such
change would result to the disadvantage
OF the state, for with matter Of such
great Importance pending. money could
and would be spent without stint. and
In body where such frauds as this are
so readily committeeman at least one
third of the members of one branch
were actually bought to defeat certain
obnoxious measure-there could be no
doubt as to the result.
An inquiry into the matter shows that
the original bill as introduced in the
senate is not on file in the office of sec
rotary OF state, and there is nothing in
the Journal to indicate when and by
whom this change was made. the
Meeker county, and Senator McHalc.
Of Scott, the first who introduced, and
the latter who supported the bill, are
authority for what we say in the matter.

THE SAGE.

There would be some laughing on the
back seets If Ignatius Donnely should
be- elected governor this year--Anoka

Imagine the Prohibition party NOM
mating brewer to head its state ticket.
Yet had they done this it would have
been more consistent than for so-called
reform ticket to place Donnelly at its
head.-Alliance Advocate.
1t would be useless to attempt to
puncture all of MI. Donnelly's fictitious
reaSonings and absurd heresies. His
skill and tact and experience enable
him to argue as we'll from fallacious
standpoint as from basis of fact aid
logic.-Redwood Reveille,
1t is not our purpose TO follow Mr.. d.
in his remarks-too many have failed in
this attempt. His go0d-natured Irish
mug must be seen, his keen wit must
be heard to be appreciated. As an or
ator, he stands today without peer on
the American continent. AS classic
scholar-a literary genius, II you please,
Minnesota, his home, is proud of HIM,
but as politician and political philos-
opher, there are none too lowly to do
him reverence.-Wateryil Advance.
Hereafter whenever mother wants

surcharged. and let little of it escape.
and instantly ali tue imaginary actors

toric spooks will be materialized in the
mind Of the child.-Lake Benton News.
Donnelly tries to make out that he
isn't SO sick that he has to withdraw
from the campaign. Well, nobody was
really in earnest, we think. in believing
that he was. On the contrary, the ma
jority are willing to consider him as
lively enough to make the most of
political bargain and appreciate the
value to himself Of withdrawing if the
figures are high enough and followed by
a sufficient number of ciphers.-New

Do WE NEED A NAVY?

Whatever doubt existed as to the ne :
cessity for navy to adequately uphold
the dignity and credit of this country
against foreign aggressions has been re-
moved by the record OF our international
disputes under the present administra-
ton at Washington.
More than once we have been brought
to the very verge of war. At least once
we have been saved from war only by
the demonstration of the efficiency
of our new navy. The latter in
stance was the dispute with Chill.
But Tor the naval demonstration
which opened the eyes of that bellicose
little republic to the fact that our navy
no longer consists exclusively of all as
sortment of harmless old wooden hulks.
we would undoubtedly have been
forced into war at once absurd and
costly. The other international dis
puteS which have signaliZed President

Nor could such a confession be
wrung from Republican organ. But
the times have changed and the voters
of this Northwest region have changed
with them. The high-tax party no

gan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Ne

and here in Minnesota its hold has been
loosened to the very point Of giving

ALWAYS \ DODGER.

When the MORRISON bill was pend
ing i'll 1884, KNUTE NELSON was in
congress. A motion was made to strike
by tellers, and only WAsHBURN. of the
Minnesota members, went with the
ayes on the first call. NELSON, STRAIT
and WAKEFIELD lodged. They saw
the bill was killed, and on the second
call, when their votes could not save
the bill, they voted to save it. They
put on the mask of revenue reformerS
and gained little cheap notoriety by
it. The Pioneer Press patted them on
the back, while the Tribune-at the
head of avigation-rubbed the fur the
wrong way.
LII 1888 the MILLS bill was under way.
Mr.. NELSON did not speak to the bill.
but when the Indian appropriation bill
was on. he broke out in speech which
gave him great deal of notoriety and
some reputation. Outside the state it
is his only claim to recognition. 1t was
a good speech. No Democrat has made
a better one or one which went further
In its reasoning towards free trade. He
voted for the bill when it came up for
passage.
But he hadn't much more than done
it before he lodged back into the party
traces and declared that he proposed to
help ''down CLEVELAND" who was
the candidate of his speech. and then
he was 'going for the trusts and monop-
olies.' He has come out of his retire
ment now to Ego for" them. One OF the
GLOBES cartoons showed how he began
going for" them right after his nomi-
nation. He has been lodging that
speech ever since he made it. At Min
neapolis, two years ago, he made a
speech iii which he likened the meeting
to revival and himself to the hardened
old sinner from the back country who
had come forward on to the anxious
seat, and he proceeded to make plain
how repentant he was by declaring that
the MCKINLEY bill was, on the whole,
infinitely better than the MILLS bill. A
bill which made the average tax on i'm
ports 80 per cent was Infinitely better"
than one which proposed to make the
average about 40 per cent. Will some
expert please come forward and tell just
where Mr.. NELSON'S lodging really
leaves him on the tariff?
