charge of flags ordered that it be hauled
down. Barrett superintendent of elic-

QUICKLY would the clouds roll by,
were this country sure that existing
tariff laws would not be interfered
with.-A1,oko Union.
The tariff was the only issue
that divided the two old parties in
the last campaign. A majority of
the American people pronounced
in unmistakable terms against the
policy of protection and in favor
of free trade-or a tariff for
revenue only-and it is unreason-
able to expect that existing tariff
laws will not undergo radical
changes. The majority should
rule and the Democrats should
formulate tariff law in accord
ance with their platform.

Congressman Bal Win and File tcher
are interesting themselves in the
settlers behalf mainly at the ur-
gent request Of the writer.
The joint resolution referred to
is simply and solely for the pro
lection Of bona tide settlers to
give them titles to the lands they
occupy. The settlers are poor and
friendless and have no lobby at
Washington to urge their cause.
They rely altogether upon their
representatives in congress. Talk
ing about rings, there are several
rings opposed to the settlers the
corrupt Indian ring composed Of
men who have plundered the gov
eminent and the Indians alternately
for years, the railroad ring and the
real pine land ring. This Mile
Laos matter has hung fire long
enough; the settlers and all con
cerned want to see it disposed Of
one way or another as soon as con.
gress convenes in regular session
In the meantime, in behalf of the
settlers, the UNION desires K
thank Senator w ashburn, and Con
gressmen Fletcher and Baldwin
especially Mr.. w., for thei1
active efforts in behalf of the 601al
.&de Mile Laos settlers, and w
hope the entire Minnesota delega
ton will heartily second the effort
of the gentlemen above named il
securing the speedy passage Of tn
joint resolution in question.

Special Telegram to the Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. D., Nov. 3.-The
bill for the relief of the settlers on the
Mile Laos reservation stands good
chance Of being delayed for some time.
Congressman Baldwin has been warned
that there is a job in the bill and that
the pine land ring is behind it.
The keen scented Washington
correspondents must be hard up
for news when they telegraph such
stuff as the above to the papers
they represent. We have been
battling for these Mile Laos set
tiers for more than ten years past
and we are not identified with any
spine land ring" There is no
''pine land ring'' or any other ring
behind the settlers. Right and
justice is behind them. The $50
odd settlers went upon the So
called reservation in good faith;
they have built homes, cleared
land and are trying to make an
honest living for themselves and
their families. Many of the SET
tiers have been there for ten and
more years, hardly any less than
five years. Of course, there are
a few black sheep among the set
tiers. 1t would be passing strange,
indeed, if in $50 male adults there
were not some dishonest individ-
uals. But the great majority of
the settlers are there in good faith
to remain and develop the re-
sources of northern Mile Laos
county. They have regular town
ship organizations; regularly Or
ganized school districts; they levy,
assess and collect taxes for town,
road and school purposes. More.
over, during the past six months
four school houses have been
erected at cost of $4,000, and &c
miles of new roads have beer
opened at a cost of So, 1000. Ir
view of these facts why should the
Mile Laos settlers be classed AZ
pine land squatters? Furthermore
the aggregate amount Of standing
pine upon all the settlers claim,
will not exceed 100000 feet

authority, for, under the statute, the
court may in its discretion, grant or
refuse the motion whether made by the
county attorney or the attorney gen
:eral, and decide the case as it deems
proper, nsidering all the facts and
1circumsta before the court. 9
In deciding this motion therefore, I
take into consideration the Testimony
given upon the former trial and the
fact, as stated by the county attorney
and attorney general, that no further
or additional proof can be obtained at
this time or which would in the
opinion of the court change the re-.
suit. [ am satisfied that it would be
impossible to obtain a conviction upon
that testimony, either in this or any
other county, and that should trial
of this case be had at this time it would
result either IN an acquittal of the
defendant or a disagreement, never a
conviction, which would entail large
and useless expense upon the county.
OF course know nothing about the
case except by way of evidence given
at the time of the last trial, and in my
judgement that evidence is not suf-
fcient to warrant a conviction, and
would deem it my duty to set aside the
verdict should the case be retired and
a verdict rendered against the defend
ant upon that testimony. Entertaining
this opinion, as do, as to the insult
ficency OF the proof to Justify a con-
viction, in the exercise of that discre-
ton which is vested in the court by
statute, I feel that this motion should
be and the same hereby is granted.
| Keenly feeling and approaching the
responsibility resting upon me, and the
Importance of the case, have given
the matter a thorough, careful, and
conscientious consideration, and I have
come to the conclusion that further
| prosecution of this case would be use
less, and the ends of justice will be
subserved by the action I have here
taken.
! I will here say that Judge Baxter,
the senior Judge of this district, has
been fully advised as to the facts in
this case, and he concurs with me ir
the opinion have here expressed.
In making this motion to dismiss, ]
deem it proper to say that the county
! attorney has acted conscientiously ani
in the utmost good faith and is moved
solely by what seems to him to be hi
duty in the premises and from desire
to promote justice and the interests O
the county he represents. The as
sistant attorney general, I have NJ
, doubt, has also acted from high-mindet
motives and the interests of what h,
deems to be the right.
Now these questions and difference

Final Disposition Made Of the
Case Of State of Minnesota
,
VS.. Norton.
Judge Searle Grants the Motion
of the County Attorney to
Dismiss.
There Was No Clash Between the
Attorney General and the
County AttOrney.

There Was No Clash Between the |
Attorney General and the
County Attorney.
The adjourned term of district court
convened on Tuesday morning with
Judge Searle on the bench, and court
stenographer Russell also in his place.
Assistant Attorney General Edgerton
was present in behalf of the State, and
Mayor D. w. Bruckart of St. Cloud
was on the alert in the interest of his
client County Attorney Ross chatted
with his friends in an unconcerned
manner as though he felt confident of
his ability to measure swords with the
Representative of the car" The
large crowd of interested spectators
expected to witness clash Of arms be-
tween Mr.. Ross and Mr.. Edgerton, but
in this. they were disappointed. When
the case of the State of Minnesota VS..
A. z. Norton was called Mr.. Ross arose
and said: "Your honor, believing that
it is i'm possible to secure conviction
in this case, I deem it my duty in the
interest of the taxpayers of the county
to move to dismiss. I do not propose
to argue the motion. No argument is
required. Your honor is fully con-
versant with all the facts in the case
and counsel could not enlighten you"
Assistant Attorney General Edger-
ton claimed that he, as the attorney
generals representative, represented
the State in this case; but he waived
| the point of authority and would not
combat the county attorneys motion.
He said, however, that there was new
and important evidence within his
knowledge that he thought would be
sufficient to procure a conviction be-
fore fair and impartial jury in this
county, provided the case could be con-
tinued until time when that evidence
could be obtained. What this evidence
was or who the witnesses were he did
not state. He did not know where the
witnesses were and stated that if the
trial was to take place at this time the
evidence would not be materially diff
ferent from what it was at the former
trial. He referred to an article pub
lished Sin that great family journal,
the Princeton UNION" that purports
to contain copy of a letter written by
the county attorney of this county
which was never received at the Office
OF the attorney general. He then read
the letter published in the UNION OF
last week from Mr.. Ross to Attorney
General Childs. This was written in
answer to letter from Mr.. Childs
stating that he had been asked by the
governor to prosecute the case and
directing the county attorney to take
no steps towards dismissal of the
same. Mr.. Childs had been fully
advised as to all the facts in the case
and concurred with him in the opinion
that the case ought not to be dismissed
and that it should be tried before
another jury. Referring to the letter
written by the attorney general, hi
said that when that officer has beer

requested by the governor OF the State
in writing to prosecute an action Of
this kind it is his duty to do it and the
county attorney has no legal jurisdic-]
ton to try or make any move whatever
in the action. The jurisdi lotion SO far
as the prosecution of that case is con-
cerned rests with the attorney general.
But, he said, I am willing that this
motion should be entertained BY the
court just the same as if the attorney
general had not been called upon by
the governor in this case.
Mr.. Ross in replying said that the
legal point as to who had jurisdiction
in the case being waived by Mr.. Edger-
ton there was nothing to reply to. He
would not retaliate by making counter
charges. They were too cheap. He
had done what he thought was right.
At the last trial there was fair and
impartial jury which stood 8 to in
favor of acquittal and he had no reason
to believe that a different result could
be obtained now. He did not want to
entail a large expense upon the county
when no possible good could accrue
thereby. #.
| D. W. Bruckart, representing the
defendant, insisted that the motion of
the county attorney should either be
granted or the case proceeded with at
once. He said the reasons given by
Mr.. Edgerton for continuance we're
altogether too t1imsy to be listened to
for moment.
The court took recess until 100 P.
M. at which time Judge Searle granted
the county attorneys motion in the
following language. ,<" =: "
