A GOOD WORK.
S2,3OO,OOO Added to the Taxable
Wealth of the State.

1t will be remembered that las1
winter there was inaugurated in the
Senate a movement to enquire int
the frauds committed on the schoo
and other public lands of the state
A committee was appointed, o1
which Senator Keller was chairman
and Senators John Day Smith, De
don. Leavitt and Donnelly were
members. In the course of the in
vestigation it was developed that in
Itasca county there had been great
frauds committed in the assessment
of pine land owned by the great lum.
bermen of Minneapolis; and a bill
was introduced to provide for re.
assessment Of that county. The re-
suit is just announced:
Senator Dedon yesterday filed
with State Auditor Biermann his re-
port Of the re-aSSeSSment of Itasca
county. With the exception of a
small tract in the northern end of
the county, the county was covered
by the cruisers. The re-assessment
covers the entire county. 1t is stated
that it has been the practice to make
a uniform assessment of the forty
acre tracts through the timber coun-
try without inspecting the timber.
Here and there man through this
means paid taxes on a worthless
forty; but in the majority of cases
the owners paid taxes far below the
real value of their property. The re-
port Of DedOn raises the assessment
$1,000, 900, making total of 81, 700, 900
as against $2,5OOOOO, the assessment
of last year. This will help out
Itasca county materially"
This is pretty good:-$2, 300, 900 add
ed to the taxable property of the
state, decreasing in like proportion
the taxes of all other citizens, at a
cost of $4,000; and upon the demand
of few earnest and patriotic sena-
tors. Senator Kellar's part in this
work must not be forgotten.
At the same time Bob. Dunn, of
the House, secured the passage of a
resolution to rip up a certain sale of
pine stumpage; the court set it aside
and the state is several thousand dol
lars richer, and Bob is on the top
wave of popularity. And now our
joint committee, to prosecute pine
thieves, has commenced two suits
and has a number more nearly ready.
Fifty million feet of timber have
been stolen, that we know Of!-per-
haps a hundred times that much
that we have not got on the track of.
Don't we need a complete overturn-
ing of the politics of the state?

The Results of a Wise Action.

AH~ N@SultS VI d WISE Action.
1t is with some pride that we point
our readers to the improved condi-
tion Of the peoples party and the
farmers alliance to-day, as compared
with the state of affairs which exist
ed when this paper was esta ablished.
Now there is unity, harmony and
good will in our ranks;-all factions
are working together as bretheren;
and the foundation is laid for victory
in 1894 and 1896. Then vicious crea-
ture, with infinite brass and demoni-
cal cunning, with republican money
In his pocket, had sailed in, with
club in one hand and a bowie-knife
in the other, and cut and slashed
and pounded until he had our whole
organization fighting each other like
lot of infuriated kilkenny cats. BY
these means, and false cry of fu-
slon," he managed to SO demoralize
us that our vote fell off thirty per
cent. BY his interference in the con-
gressional districts, and m st Of
fensive system of ''bossism," and an
utter lack of all generosity and fair
ness, he lost us two congressional
districts which we ought to have car
rled, and came perilously near
swamping us in the one we did carry.
Now one has only to read the letters
in our columns, from all parts of the
state, and from all factions, to see
that the course of this paper has dis
sipated the heart-burnings, and has
lifted us all onto a higher plane of
brotherly feeling and devotion to the
welfare of humanity.
AS to myself, l would add, that am
not candidate for any Office and
nerer aCiU be. l am growing old and
the grave is not many years ahead;
and l propose to work for the ad-
vancement of the human race, DUR
ing the remainder of the period of
health and strength which may be
given me; believing that the best
religion in the world is that of doing
good to our fellow creatures. If any
ambitious man thinks | stand in his
way, in any respect, | am ready to
''step down and out" If any man
thinks he can do more for the cause
of reform than l, let him advance to
the front and l will follow him.
In the presence of the awful
calamities that now oppress the
world, and the terrible dangers
which threten the future, personal
ambition is almost crime. Let
every leader of reform have the feel
ing Of religious martys,-hoping for
- individual advantage, but ready
70 die, if needs be, for the general
good. Only by unselfshness can we
overturn the utter and awful selfish
ness which is at the base of all our
troubles. When our leaders begin to
plot and lurch and hedge and trick
to get places; or secure plunder: their
usefulness is at an end and the cause
is ruined.
Is there salt enough left of unself-
| iShneSS to save society? Id.

Catholic Church at Paterson Takes Issue
with SatolIl

PATERSON, N. j., oct, 21.-The insult
offered Mgr. Satolli by some Of the parish
toner's Of st. Joseph parish In this city
came in for a good deal of discussion here
today. This evening the st. Joseph parish
met and approved the conduct OF the COM
mittee appointed to see Mgr. Satolli last
night. The matter was freely discussed at
the meeting and Senator Hinchclife, James
Gibson, Edward +. Leonard, Richard Sal
mon and Chris Kelly were appointed a com
mittee to lay the grievances Of the COM
mittee before the metropolitan court of
Archbishop Corrigan. Speeches were made
by a number of those present condemning
Mgr. Satoli's action and reviewing the eff
forts Of the parish to have Dr. Smith re-
moved, which efforts, the speakers declared,
were in every way peaceful and honorable.
At the meeting tonight very strong eXcep-
tions were taken to the treatment received
by the committee which waited on the able
gate to hear the grievances against DR..
Smith. The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That we, the members Of St.
Joseph Parish association, do hereby tender
a vote of thanks to the committee of fifteen
who yesterday waited upon Mgr. Satolli at
the residence Of Rev. DR.. Smith,
Resolved, That we approve OF every action
taken and every word uttered by the COM
mittee. and that we admire their manly in
trepidlty, and we do this, not to complimen mt
the committee on their acts as individuals,
but to show that the acts are sustained.
Resolved, That in deferehce to the feel
ing of outside, conscientious Catholics who
are Interested in the matter, who have no
congnizanCe Of the entire depth of our griev-
ances and to refute the declarations of the
American Protective association, that We
have no redress but must submit like cring
ing slaves, we appoint a committee to re-
tain DIR. Burtsell to bring our case before
the Metropolitan court of Archbishop Cor
rigan. ignoring Mgr satolli and Bishop
Wigger.
Resolved, That pending this we use every
honorable effort ourselves and ask our
! friends in the city Of Paterson to bring
pressure to bear on the few who still con-
sist from doing so, since 1t is evident that
DR. Smith and the people of St Joseph's
parish can never harmonize-ether one or
the other has got to go to the wall.
