In another column appears a
scathing arraignment Of Auditor
Biermann and the arrogant sspine
ring'' plunderers by the Rock
County Neavs, a Democratic news
paper. We could fill pages of the
UNION with like extracts from the
State papers. We did assert on
the floor of the house that we be-
lieved the auditors office was rot
ten and had been for years, and
nothing has occurred since that
would cause us to change the opin-
ion expressed then. We believe
the State has been robbed of mil
lions of dollars in the past25 years.

G. A. SMITH is credited in the
Minneapolis Journal with saying,
"The statement that we put crew
of men at work there is a bald lie
and doubtless was started by the
Bob Dunn faction to influence the
decision of the judges.'' This is
an uncalled for insult to Judges
Baxter and Searle. It was re-
ported in Princeton by several
parties that the timber in question
was being hauled, but we did not
credit the story. The rumor that
Smith e Co. we're hauling the tim
Der originated in St. Cloud, and
Bob Dunn had nothing to do with
it. Mr.. Smith should curb his
temper, and if he made the con-
temptuous remarks attributed to
him he certainly owes Judges Bax
ter and Searle an apology.

We offer a suggestion to the
pine investigating committee ap-
pointed during the closing hours
of the last session of the legisla-
ture: Ascertain how many sections
of pine timbered school and uni
versity lands have been sold within
the past 90 years, who the pur-
chasers were, the amount paid per
thousand feet, the amount realized
by the State, and the location of
each section. The data should be
easily obtained in the State Audi
tors office. Such table care
fully compiled would make mighty
interesting reading.

Gov. Nelson is poor man and he
cannot afford many expensive

SWEA RING AT THE COURT.

The Mississippi Valley Lumber
man, the representative organ of
the lumber interests in the North
west, and the Minneapolis Times,
do not take kindly to the decision
in the G.. A. Smith & Co. pine
case, and, like backwoods lawyers,
ale indulging in the pleasant pas
time of swearing at the court. The
article in the Zam16e7m1d7o bears the
ear marks of counsel for the de-
PENDANTS in the case. Anyhow,
the La1nobe,naa7o article is mislead-
ing and gross perversion of facts.
But there is no use of making two
bites of a cherry. Auditor Bier
mann also promises to give a full
explanation as soon as he has care
fully read the decision. After Mr..
Blermann makes his explanation
the UNION proposes to reply
briefly but pointedly to the Le17a-
herman, the Times and that igno-
rant, contemplate, lying shyster
who airs his damphool views in last

wish to be understood as accusing

jackson IS a lawyer and gentle
man, Come on with your explain
alton Mr.. Biermann. Right here
and now we predict that if the case
is appealed to the supreme court
Judges Baxter and Searle's de-
cision will be affirmed, but we do
not believe that the case will ever
be argued in the higher court.

THAT JOINT RESOLUTION.

Here is copy of the joint reso-
luton relative to the Mile Laos
settlers which has passed both
branches of congress without a
dissenting vote and now awaits the
presidents signature.
RESOLVED by the Senate and House of
Representatives. of the United States of
america IN Congress assembled, That all
bona fide presumption or homestead
filings or entries allowed for lands
within the Mile Laos Indian reserva-
tion in the State of Minnesota between
the ninth day of January, eighteen
hundred and ninety-one, the date of
the decision of the Secretary of the
Interior holding that the lands within
said reservation were subject to dis
posal as other public lands under the
general land laws, and the date of the
receipt at the district land Office at
Taylors Falls, in that State, of the
letter from the commissioner of the
general land office, communicating to
them the decision of the Secretary of
the Interior of April twenty-second,
eighteen hundred and ninety-two: in
which it was definitely determined
that said lands we're not so subject to
disposal, but could only be disposed of
according to the provisions of the
special act of January fourteenth,
eighteen hundred and eighty-nine
twenty-five statutes, six hundred and
forty-two), be and the same are hereby,
confirmed where regular in other re-
spects, and patents shall issue to the
claimants for the lands embraced
therein, as in other cases, on salts
factory showing of a bona fde COM
pliance on their part with the require
ments of the laws under which said
filings and entries were respectively
allowed.
The lions share Of the praise for
the passage of this resolution
should be awarded to Senator
Washburn. At the last regular
session a similar resolution was on
Mr.. Washburn's motion unani-
mous}y adopted by the senate, but
it died in the house. The settlers
at Mile Laos have reason to feel
grateful to Senator Washburn.
Hon. Loren Fletcher and Major
Baldwin are also deserving of
thanks-for a time the latter op-
posed the passage of the resolution
in the house, but upon being con.
WINGED that it was not pine grab
bling scheme he withdrew all op-
position and favored the passage
of the resolution. But this is not the
first time that MIR. Fletcher has as.

One Wrong Righted.

One Wrong Righted.
Our news columns this week
contain the gist of a decision,
rendered by Judges Baxter and
Searle, that will right at least one
fraud perpetrated upon the State
of Minnesota. The Neeos takes no
less joy out of the decision because
the only Democrat holding State
office allowed the brazenly false
transaction to be inaugurated. .
Auditor Biermann excuses him
self on the ground that he found
the rotten estimate in the office
when he assumed it's duties
which is no excuse at all. The
Democratic party of Minnesota
has always emphasized one prom
Use to the people, viz: That if
entrusted with the conduct of
State affairs, it would disrupt the
rings that have robbed the people
of their substance in every con-
ceivable direction under the op-
portunities afforded by uninter-
rupted Republican control. The
voters had right to expect, then,
that Biermann would live up to
the promise made by his party
year after year. He failed to do
this, and it remained for a few
honest, fearless Republicans to
uncover for the edifcation of the
citizens of the State one of myriad
instances of bold rascality.
The State Auditors office has
always been rotten institution
in the estimation of honest folks
of all political faiths. Hon. R.
c. Dunn and other Republicans
openly declared in the legislature
last winter their belief that the
Office had been dishonesty con-
Quoted for years. And the bitter
opposition to Mr.. Dunn's move in
the Mile Laos matter proved the
assertions we'll founded. It was
only at the last moment when fur
ther opposition meant open dis
grace, that the majority of the
legislature would allow the mem
Der from Mile Laos to get action
in a way that left the State officials
no alternative but to 60 ahead and
show up the scandalous deal by
which millionaire John S. Pills

last winter; and all honor to him,
honest Republican that he is. A
better result never was achieved
from such a discouraging begin

that will return to the State treas.

The Land of Flowers.


Three hundred and eighty-one years
ago, the romantic Ponce de Leon,
searching for the tabled fountain of
youth, set foot on land so adorned
with blossoms of every kind and hue
that he named it Florida-Land of
Flowers. To most Northerners,
Florida suggests only refuge for
invalids and consumptives, or a place
whence come oranges and other semi
tropic fruits. The State, however,
has something of a history. Where
Ponce de Leon landed, was founded
St. Augustine, the oldest settled town
in the United States, and now a famous
winter resort. In 1853 Florida was
ceded by Spain to Great Britain, in ex-
change or as a ransom for Cuba, on
which the British lion had laid his
paw. In 1888, at the close of our
Revolutionary war, England coded the
territory back to Spain, probably not
desiring a possession surrounded by
the rebellious colonies. In 1919 Spain
ceded Florida to the United States,
and she Was admitted to the Union in
1916. Since the war of the Rebellion,
marterial development has been rapid
in Observation-Disclosures have been built,
much Northern capital invested
and great improvement manifested.

and now is the time to be planning

ABSENT TWELVE YEARS.
And Returns to Find HIS Wife Mar.
rid Again.

This story comes from Railway, N.
j.: The domestic tranquility of
Frank IIerme's home, was unexpect-
eddy disturbed last Friday evening
by the appearance Of David Hoff-
man, who was supposed to be dead,
and who was the former husband of
Hermes' wife. Hoffman deserted his
wife twelve years ago.
Nothing was heard from him until
about five years ago, when his
mother received a telegram announc-
ing his death in railway wreck in
the far West. Mrs. Hoffman wore
mourning for q year and then mar
ried her present husband.
Hoffman arrived in Railway on
Thursday evening, and, keeping his
identity concealed, found out what
had happened during his absence
He then went to Hermes' home
and demanded that his wife and her
eleven year old boy should return to
him. She refused to do so, and
scored him most bitterly for his de-
sertion of her. The stormy inter-
view was interrupted by the arrival
of Mr.. Hermes, who elected Hoffman
from. the house. Hoffman declined
to give an explanation of his long
absence, saying that he had been out
West mining and had come home
wealthy to claim his wife and child.
Mrs Hermes declares that she will
have nothing to do with her first
husband. Hoffman has engaged
lawyers and will test the legality of
his wife's marriage to Hermes.

The Magazine ofthe Future.

The July Cosmopolitan will mark
the most radical step ever taken in
periodical literature. With that
issue the magazine, unchanged in
form, in fact, one of the best numbers
of the Cosmopolitan ever issued, will
be put Oh sale at twelve and one
halt cents per copy-$1 90 year.
The cutting in half of price already
deemed low tor an illustrated maya
zine is the result of an intention long
since formed. to give to the public an
illustrated monthly of the very high
est class at such a price as must
bring it within the reach ofaii per
sons of intellectual tastes, however
limited their incomes. There are
more than ten million readers in the
United States and less than eight
hundred thousand magazines are
printed to supply their demands.
More than four years have been spent
in reaching the organization neces-
sary for the production of the Cos
mopolitan at this price, a figure hith-
ertO undreamed of by the reading
world. Each department of the
work has been slowly perfected, until
with the January number of this
year one hundred and fifty thousand
copies of the magazines were prepar-
ed upon presses and machinery ofthe
most improved form, built with a
view to producing the finest results
at the very minimum ofexpense-the
only establishment in the world, it is
believed, devoted exclusively to the
printing of an illustrated monthly
| magazine To establish q magazine
upon such a basis at the outset was
impossible. Only the rapid growth
OF the Cosmopolitan's editions, al
most unprecedented in magazine re-
| cords, has produced the conditions
which make this departure from es
tablished prices possible. The Cos
mopOlitan promises to make the
year 1898 the most brilliant in its
history. No other years has seen
such an array ofdistinguished names
as will appear on it's title page dur
ing 1898. De Maupassant, Mark
Twain, George Ebers, Valdez, Spiel
hagen, Francois Coppee, Flamma-
rion, and Paul Heyes, are some OF
the authors whose work will appear
for the first time during the year
in the pages of the Cosmopolitan
| Among the artists whose work will
decorate its pages for the first time
during 1898 are Laurens, Toussaint

lar contributor during 1S93-94 A
feature of the July number will be

decrease OF II per cent, in new indus
trial enterprises organized orstarted
IN the South, as compared with the
number organized or started in the
first three months of the year. Com

figures for the first quarter of 1898
are 71S; tor the second quarter, 637.
Business, as a rule, is reported to be
in good condition and sound. The
failures are comparatively few. The
stringency i'll the South, after the
great cotton crop of 1S9l92, re-
stricted credit and caused business
to go on cash basis. 1t has pre-
pared the South for the present crisis
