THE MINERAL TAX.

Says the Democracy of Minnesota in
the Platform adopted at the Minneapolis
convention:
We call the attention of the people of the
stale TO the fact that the mineral wealth at
The northern part of this state is not bearing
its just share of the public burdens. The
nonresident milionaires who own lion
mines whose value is. at moderate est-
mate SO, COO CO. under our present law pay
less than $4,000 Der annum i'll taxes. -
We demand that this condition of things be
rectified
Says the Pioneer Press. commenting
on this:
There is long and confused plank about
the iron mines of the state. which means. if
it means anything at all. that the state should
abandon the splendid system of mineral
leases. and permit its school lands 10 be ap-
propriated by spectators.
1t, OF course, means nothing of the
kind, and it is difficult to see how any
thing short of Intentional mendacity
could put this Interpretation on it. The
plank in question has DO application
whatever to leased lands. 1t refers ex-
clusively to those the fee of which is
vested In individuals. AS the laws now
stand. the owner of the humblest home
stead pays the state an annual tax on his
holding. But by an unconstitutional
piece Of fav0ritism the Minnesota
Iron company, which has vast tracts of
the most valuable property, is exempted
from all taxation On its estate. LII lieu
OF it. it pays per cent on its income.
The pretended purpose here is to en-
courage the development Of our mineral
wealth. The Democracy claims that
this is all wrong. The iron industry de-
serves no more encouragement by the
state than any other craft, and if the
mine owner is to pay nothing on his
property except as measured by his
profits, no more ought the owner
of any other species of property.
Equity under the law is the Democra-
cy's watchword. No man should be
taXeu to benefit his neighbor.

That Amount or Gold Going East
From San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 5.-The
gold coin from the United States SUBJ
treasury in this city. which left here
for the East last night on a special
train OF five cars. was probably the
largest amount of money ever sent
across the continent. Early this morn
ing the train had crossed the SierraS and
was moving down the grade beyond
Truckee. Not long ago there was about
$40, 0OO,00 in the vaults of the subtreas-
ury aid mint in this city.
Precisely how much of this is
going overland is not known.
The supposition is that the amount
is at least S20.000.000. Que of the ears
which composed the train will be
dropped off at Ogden. The other cars
were sent out from the East. One is
from the Lake Shore, two from the
Union Pacific and one from the Burling-
ton. Fifty men. nearly all from the rail-
way mail service, are on the train as
guards. Capt. j. E. White, of Washing
ton is in charge. The men are we'll

In two Union Pacific cars constr ucted
of wrought steel and supposed to be bull

speculation has been INDUCED in
as to the governments motive
for making this large shipment of

that in consequence of heavy realiza-
tions on American securities held abroad
foreign holders have recently taken

any disturbance of the necessary tinan-
cial equilibrium.

ABIGAIL FICTION.

In one of the cases decided by our
supreme court during the past month,
the question of the validity of publish
ing legal notice Oh statutory holiday
is considered and decided. The appel
iants contended that the publication of
summons On Memorial day was as in
valid as would be its publication on
Sunday. 1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to
say that the point was overruled. But
the curious feature about the decision
is the reasoning by which the court
supports its view. 1t says that the
Sunday issue of newspapers does not
circulate among the same class of sub
scribers as do the issues of week days.
A large and respectable portion of the
community, it argues, do not take the
Sunday issue, and hence a publication
on Sunday would not be so apt to come
to the attention Of the parties for whom
it is intended. A similar objection can
not be urged against publication on a
secular holiday" like Memorial day,
because the papers then issued are
parts of the regular issue, and are dis
tributed among the same subscribers.
The GLOBE does not refer to all this
for the sake OF criticising it or dissent
ing from its intelligence or force at all.
But it is an admirable Illustration of a
contemporary legal fiction to which the
courts cling with undaunted persist
ence. Nothing could be more pre-
posterous in the light of the truth than
the idea that the publication of legal
notice according to the present statute
is designed to call the attention of the
parties interested to the matter which
it contains. A man foreclosing mort
gage on valuable property in the heart
of st. Paul can publish his notice with
perfect safety in newspaper of the
minutest circulation, printed in the
| remotest suburb Of the county. In
| point of fact, this is what he VIII be apt
to 10, because it is economical, and
there is only very slim possibility
that it will ever be learned about by
the mortgagor. This whole subject OF
the publication of legal notices is a
piece of humDug. One publication is as
good as six or seven, and even one
would not be any good under the pres
ent system. The state ought to have an
official paper. in watch all such matter
should appear Then there would be
some chance of its achieving its pur-

chicago Herald.
The Minnesota Democrats cordially indorse
the bold and explicit declaration OF the Chi
cago platform that Republican protection
is fraud and for proof of its verify they
point to Homestead, where the militia of
the state is keeping peace in a quarrel over
the spoils between the real and supposed
benenciaries of protection
There has been no more eloquent, truthful
and epigrammatic description written of the
Homestead affair than is contained in the
foregoing sentence, which is quoted from
the resolutions adopted by the Minnesota
Democrats at their state convention on
"Wednesday. II tells the whole story in the
fewest possible words. 1t states the entire
case in nutshell.
The violence and bloodshed at Homestead
resulted from quarrel between the mill
owners and their employees over the boun:ies
levied by congress Oh the products OF the
mills, which were ostensibly designed to
benefit the workingmen. The latter charged
that the owners were seeking to divert these
bountes into their own pockets. That the
charge was true would appear to be estab-
lished by the refusal of Manager Frick to tell
the congressional committee the labor cost in
the manufacture of a ton of steel. If the
mill owners were not 1efrauding their en-
ployes by ordering reduction of wages.
why should Manager Frick hesitate to give
all the facts in the case9

"
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5.-rhe Post-Dis-
patch today prints story about the re.
fusal of Archbishop Ireland, of St,
Paul, to attend banquet at New York
as follows:
When Archbishop Ireland arrived in
New York July Is, OH board the City of
Paris, he was received at the wharf by
large body of distinguished ecclesi-
astics. In the midst of the congratuIa.
tons and exchange of courtesies, the
provincial of the Christian Brothers OF
the District of New York approached
the archbishop of st. Paul and said:
"a banquet has been arranged to be
given in JIouf honor at Manhattan col.
lege tomorrow evening. Archbishop
Corrlgan has consented to preside, and
the effect OF this early meeting between
your grace and Archbishop Corrigan
will go far to alleviate all hard feelings
which the late controversy may have
left.''
10 the surprise OF the provincial,
Archbishop Ireland refused the prof.
fered invitation. The provincial then
said:
Your grace, such meeting between
you and Archbishop Corrigan Will be
very edifying to the faithful Throughout,
the country. People Will say: How
quickly these distinguished prelates for.
get past differences. see how they
greeted each other at the banquet in
New York; ~
The archbishop of st. Paul then
turned toward the brother and said:
mo. but the people will say, What ac-
compllshed hypocrites those prelates
are.'"
Archbishop Ireland ordered his car
rage at once and drove to Jersey CITY.
where he took the train to Baltimore to

DEADLY PARALLELS.

There is glow of professional pride
tempered with giimmer of delightful
humor about the deadly parallels"
which the Dispatch springs, contrasting
the war records of the vice-presidential
candidates. STEVENSON, it says, has no
war record whatever, while WHITELAw
REID was a soldier of rare renown. He
was "a war correspondent, at the
front, risklng his life in the discharge
of his duty"
This ia the right way of looking at
things, and deserves to be encouraged.
Inc GLOBE has always felt confident
that sooner or later newspaper men
would get their proper share OF credit.
In point of justice, PINDAE. who sang
the praises of the victors in the Pythian
games, really deserved the laurel
crowns which were placed on their
brows; and young stenographers VIII O
report Mr.. GLADsToNE's speeches are
actually the orators instead Of the
grand old man himself In the same
way, WHITELAw REID is the hero of all
the great battles the details of which
he so brilliantly described in the
Va ei'S uuily WHICH
paid him salary as long as the Union
army could be persuaded to endure his
supercilious presence.
The Dispatch shows the proper ap-
probation of the newspaper craft when
it advances this view. and the GLOBE
wishes it were more widely prevalent.
But the world is so prejudiced and so
inaccessible to great ideas. 1t is prob
ably the sad truth that a great many
people are beDighted enough to believe
that ADLAI E. STEVENSON has had i'll
hnltely more experience with the sword
than has the Republican vice-presiden-
tai candidate. To be sure. he was not
"a war correspondent at the front, risk
Ing his life in the discharge of his
duty" But he was the official heads
man of the CLEVELAND administration,
and lived amid scenes of gore for nearly
four years. Leave it to the average
man, and he will say that the practical
familiarity with carnage and bloodshed
thus acquired is much more brilliant
war record than WHITELAw REDS
literary contact with gunpowder could
by any stretch of Imagination be made
to appear. But STILL as friend of the
newspaper craft, the GLOBE agrees
with the Dispatch. 1t is too bad that
the world is so prejudiced and so mac
cessible to great ideas.
