sUPPREssING THE FACTS.

The Republican organs are seriously
disturbed because at the timber sale
last Saturday Auditor Biermann did
not offer for sale that celebrated school
section in Mile Lacs county upon
which one Dunn bases his claims for
election to an important office.
OF course. these virtuous journals
know that this sale was ordered and adj
verlised solely fer the purpose of SELL
ing such timber as had been damaged
by the recent fires, it being a we'll
established fact that timber so damaged
becomes absolutely worthless unle ss
cut before it passes through the next
summer season and becomes bored by
worms. Bob Dunn's school section
had not only not been touched by fire,
but it has been shown by Bob's expert
witness, Pratt, land Others" that it
was III no danger from fire. These con-
sistent chroniclers Of fact and fiction
also knew that if the sale were per.
mitted 10 extend to sound timber very
little of the burned timber would he
sold, thus entailing heavy loss to the
state. They also knew that MIR. Dunn'S
friend from Anoka. who afterwards
sent an agonlzing telegtam telling how
anxious lie was to buy that section. sat
Immediately in front of the auditor
while the sale was in progress, and
never made up his mind until after the
adjournment that he was really painting
Tor that particular section. All these
things they knew, but it was too much
trouble, probably, to publish them.

''WHEN did free trade ever build up
any industry?" Mr.. Mckinley. Free
trade for thirty years hasn't had much
of any chance to do any building up;
not as much as 1t will have in the fpt-
ure. But it was given one little opporr
tunity when hides were put Oh the free
list, and an Industry engaged in con.
verting raw hides into sole leather has
been built up in the New England states
which not only supplies The great fac
tories of New England with their sole
leather, but exports from S5000.0OO to
$6,00O,000 year to foreign markets.

FIRE SUFFERERS GRATEFUL.

"A -.
The fund for the relief of the suffer-
ers by the forest fires has evidently
reached its limit of growth, and has
been for the most part used In succoring
the destitute. Like the contributions
that flowed in on Chicago in her distress,
and again on Memphis in hers, this
fund.-. though smaller than these, is
none the less monument to the quick
and cheerful charity of our people. The
appeal for help is one that rarely falls
on deaf ears. and each day the helping
hand is extended to the needy and the
suffering. 1t is only OH occasions like
that which gave rise to this great fund
that the diffused charities OF our every
day life become concentrated and swell
into monumental dimensions.
Not the least striking feature OF this
fund was the donations which came to
it from distant sources, showing that
distance and the absence of the tie of
proximity do not dull sthe sympathy of
men and women. 1t was the quick re-
Austin Corbin. of New York, and 9th
ers in the Eastern states in generous
checks, given twice because given
quickly, that shows that "this one
touch of nature" the suffering of our
fellows and its relief, 'makes the whole
world kin" The recipients of this
generous bounty can give nothing in
return but their thanks and gratitude,
but OF that they give in full measure
and running over.

sNEERING AT GEORGE.

1t is quite the fashion for penny-a.
liners to sneer at Henry George, and
even more sedate and serious minded
men regard him with distrust as a rank
destructionist. 1t is one of the striking
features of Mr.. Georges propaganda
that it so largely draws to him
the ethical element of the commu-
nifty. He links his doctrine of the
single taX-Or. more properly. the ap-
preparation of economic rent-with the
belief of the brotherhood of man and
the fatherhood of God. Rabbi Samuel
Saale introduced him to a crowded hall
IN st. Louis the other evening with the
following remarkable words: II have
the honor to present to you prophet of
God, the successor of Moses, Plato,
Jesus Christ and Gampanella. He has
taken up their work. He delivers their
message to humanity"
Rev. Mr.. Sample. In Minneapolis, Sum
day, compared MIR. George with fellow
minister who had sneered at labor, and
declared the religion Of Henry George
to be the better of the two. One who
had been induced to read Poverty and
Progress" and had come to the reading
with the conception of Mr.. George as one
of those uneasy cranks disturbing the
peace of man with a panacea for i'm.
aginary evils, after reading the work
twice in vain effort to find the point of
departure where he could say he could
go with Mr.. George no farther in his
deduction. wrote upon the fly leaf of
the book that thought of Emerson's:
"Beware when God lets loose great
thinker OH this planet. for then all
things are at risk" Neither Mr..
George nor his doctrine, supported as it
is by great ethical and moral idea, will
be in the least impeded by the hips and
quips of the penny-a-liners.

SUCH GRANT Is ENTITLED TO MAKE
SELECTIONS OF SWAMP LANDS, Is here
by required to make such selections
within two years from the pas
sage Of this act"
The supreme court of this state, in a
decision reported in As MIMI. 1O4, held
that the terms of the grant under which
the Great Northern claims did not give
the grantee right to make the selections,
but that that rig ht remained in the state.
Whether or not the distinction is one
that will fathOm the depths OF Mr..
Dunn's feeble understanding. 1t Is one
the Great Northern company keenly
appreciates. Had it by the terms of the
grant the right to make selections, Mr..
Biermann would not have refused to
certify to its lists; and had he. the COM
pany would have been very quick to
compel him to by mandamus.
AS the Great Northern had not the
right Of selection under the terms of its
grant, 1t was not affected al all by the
act. and was not obligated by it to make
its selection in the two years. So that
company, at least, had no motive i'll 0p-
posing the passage of tho bill. So MIR.
Dunu's claim of merit for himself aud
the governor for aiding the bill, SO far
As 1t embraces hostility or opposition to
the Great Northern, goes out Of court.
1t hasn't leg to stand on.
But there is another phase of the case.
Suppose the bill was really beneficial to
the Great Northern. Suppose it to be
true. this story that its attorney drafted
the bill. Then the activity of Dunn and
the governor appears i'll quite different
light. This is not an unreasonable sup
position. Quite the contrary. Conced
edly the best of these lands lie in the
immense tracts in the north yet un-
ceded. After March "a, 1895, the Great
Northern will be the only company with
q grant not filled. unless the governor
should feel obliged to sign the deed pre-
pared by Mr.. Biermann. Then, if a
more plant man than now holds the
office should be auditor. it could take
its pick OF the lands at its leisure.
In this view of the case it will be
readily seen how really friendly and
helpful to tine Great Nprthern were the
services Of Gov. Nelson and Represent
alive Dunn. and what a wider held of
similar usefulness would be opened to
the latter in the event of his election to
the office of state auditor, where he
could not only construe, but administer,
the laws according to his own erratic
instincts.

BOB DUNN's "EXPi.ANATION."

Robert G. Dunn is still in the city.and
is still explaining. He takes space in
the Pioneer Press yesterday to explain
that he and the governor are not the
tools of, or friendly TO. the Great North
erp. and asserts with printable emphasis
that neither of them is, or has been. or
ever will De, the servant of tnat enter
prising corporation-s' s'help me Bob.
Mr., Dunn fortifies his denial by in-
stancing his vote and the governors
support Of the bill to limit the land
grant railway companies to two years
from its passage in which to select their
lauds. "lf we were SubServient to that
company,do you suppose we would have
aided in the passage of the bill and
fought the opponents Of it?" asks Rob-
ert, with well.simulated Indignation of
virtue.
That depends. If the Great Northern
would have been affected injuriously by
the passage Of the bill, and Gov. Nelson
and MIR. Dunn had aided in passing it.
it would have been pretty good evidence
that they were proof against the bland.
ishments commonly utilized by that
company in such cases. If, Oh the other
hand, that company would not have
been affected at all by the act; if, fur
ther, lis welfare would be promoted by
It's passage. and Gov. Nelson and Rep
resentative Dunn had assisted in its
passage, then, why then-well. at the
mildest, the assistance of these gentle~
men would have been one of those acts
which that company highly appreciates
and occasionally rewards.
Mr.. Dunn IS careless in des cribing
the purport and effect of this act which
he and the governor pulled out of the
angry teeth Of the opposition MIR.
Dunn says it requires that any railway
companies within the state to which
swamp lands have been granted by the
state of Minnesota shall make their Sc
lections within two years" But for
this bill," Mr. Dunn continues, 1.-The
Great Northern need not have been in
any hurry to make its selections of
swamp lands. and Mr.. Biermann would
not have had any preteXt 10 parade his
official virtue"
Mr.. Dunn shows himself very unfit
man to administer laws. If he reads
them as carelessly as he quotes them,
and he were auditor, neither the Great
Northern nor any other railway would
ever be troubled in getting what it
wants. There is very material differ.
ence between the law and Dunn's version
of it-a difference involving the whole
difficulty between the auditor and the
company. Section of chapter 62, which
was the S. F. AZ referred to by Dunn,
provides that any railroad companies
within the state TO which swamp lands
have been granted by the state of Min
nesota, and WHICH BY THE TERMS OF
