Hundreds OF Homesteaders Homeless By Order
OF Hoke Smith.
Democratic papers and orators told
the homestcndcrs two years ago that
all their wrongs would be rightcd nssoon
M Cleveland took his seat. Like other
Democratic promises this one was made
only TO break. as will be seen 10y the fol-
lowing decision rendered by Clcvcland's
ex-rebel secretary OF the interior:
WASHINGTON, Sept. S-IIokc Smith
has decided the long-awatcd homestead
case of Amassa Daily against the giant
Michigan Land X Iron corporation.
Fifteen thousand acres of land with
some of the most valuable pine timber,
either standing or cut under bond, de
pended upon the outcome OF this pro-
tracted departmental litigation. Over
81 600, 900 was the value OF the property
involved. Land experts have estimated
the land as averaging nearly 500 per
acre.
lloke Smith decrccs that several hum
dred homcstcadcrs shall be turned out of
doors and the title 10 the property at
issue shall as u matter OF law and justice
be confirmed 60 Lord Brasscy, oi Eng
land, and other millionaire stockholders
oi the Michigan Land 4 Iron company.
The $1,000 acres ut issue in the suit are
located west of L'Anse, on the line 81 the
old NJ, III. 4 q. rnilroad. The attorneys
for the company during the argument OF
the case contendcd that their clients
should be confirmed in their title as
"innocent purchasers of the old railroad
land grant, Notwithstanding that the
existence OF statutes known and read of
men seemed TO mitigate against the
nnoccnt-purchnser theory. This point
seems 60 have been the pivotal one on
which the decision hinged.
Smith holds that the corporation
actually were innocent purchasers.

Iron ore shippers have encountered n
movement among vesselmen the past

other charters have been at eighty-fivo

latter will rule for the coming week or

Senatorial Dist. Name Pascoe
At Ishpemlng Today.

At the Republican senatorial conven-

city OF Ishpcming at one o'clock this
afternoon, Hon. Peter Pascoe, OF Mar
quette county, was renominatcd by n
standing vote.
w. Il. Carpenter was chosen chairman
and Chas. II. Watson, secretary.
The denomination OF Senator Pascoe,
while fully expected, is still matter
OF great qualification 10 the Republi-
cans OF the Thirty-first district, as a
Uan OF more sterling worth and stolid
principles IL would have been hard
to find. In the two years he has
served his district Mr.. Pascoe has
proven himself an indoinitable cham
pion OF Republicanism, true and
conscientious partisan and gentle
man who did honor to his constitu-
ency In the state senate. BY his un-
tiring labors and mnsteriul representa-
tation OF the Thirty-hrst senatorial
district Mr.. Pascoe has more than
earned the honor OF denomination
bestowed upon him by the Republicans
OF this district in convention assembled
today.

How the Democratic Tariff Has Increased the

How the Democratic Tariff Has Increased the
Cost Of Sugar.
The price OF refined sugar has advanced
TO the consumer as the direct result OF
Democratic taxation. The good old
Mckinley days when twenty pounds OF
granulated sugar could be bought Tor one
dollar has passed into obscurity. twill
be hard on many n inmily, especially
when wages are 40 low and work not so
plenty as two years ago, 20 receive six
teen per cent. lei,a sugar for their dollar,
but this liz Democratic "Obiect lesson"
that will hasten the return ofRepublican
good times and low prices. Following
we quote from the price list OF hclargest
retail grocery house on the Mcnomince
range giving the quality and quantity Of
sugar sold for dollar before and after
the Democratic tariff bill became law;

Prices on Pullman Coaches.

Late events. as 10 which our readers
do not need 10 be reminded. have brought
Mr.. Pullman ana the Pullman Company's
cars under close scrutiny. Nearly every
newspaper one sees nowadays has some
observation or obiurgation TO utter with
respect to the Pullman service.
Generally speaking. it is admitted to
be good service. though 1t is thought that
a nigh price is charged for It. That IS
our opinion.
The worst thing that we know about
the Pullman service is that II leads some
railroad companies to pay less attention
to their own cars than they should pay
And at this season OF the year, particu-
larly. there is complaint from many
travellers that they are frequently forced
70 patronize Pullman whether they wish
to or not, because the railroad companies
do not provide other ears in sufficient num-
beers 10 meet the public demand.
We realize the fact that the public
having been educated up to using the
Pullman or Wagner ears will never con-
sent to be without them hereafter. 1t is
all right, therefore. 10 provide them for
those persons who want 10 Use them. but
It is all wrong for the railroad companies
10 neglect any part Of their duty IN pro-
vidmg sufficient number Of reg liar
coaches Of their own.
However. Pullman has such a great
swing" in this country We cannot but
believe that he often compels railroad
companies to DO things that they would
much prefer not to DO.

The Race for the Pole.

1t now appears that there Is no founea-
tion for the report that the Wellman
arctic expedition had been lost. Well
mans vessel the Ragnyald Jarl. Was
recently spoken In latitude 81 north. was
free Of the ice-pack, and the party were
hopeful OF carrying out successfully their
leaders plan. which is To reach the Pole
by sedge dash from the ice frontier.
Had the report OF disaster TO the Well
man expedition not been corrected fears
as to the fate OF hansen ard his party
would have naturally been excited. The
latter are IN a small vessel called the
Fran. and the theory CT hansen is that
by drifting with the currents she will
finally be carried across the Pole.
The loss of the expeditions OF Wellman
and Nansen. or either Of them. would Of
course revive as 10 polar research the
question cui bono and excite vast
amount OF opposition 10 further attempts
10 solve the mystery OF the "desolation
Of Ice" Neverthclese. IL may be accepted
as fixed that man Will never relnquish
the idea OF reaching the Pole until II has
been demonstrated that the attainment Of
that point is an irnpossibil;y
Should both the Wellman and the Nan
sen expeditions escape disaster and Peary
return In safety. we may look not only
for the most vigorous prosecution Of arctic
research that has been known for many
years. but for revival Of interest in
antarctic explorations as well.

The Explanation.

Thu Kanawha Gazette. published In Mr..
Wilson'S own State. undertakes In the
following paragraph to explain why IL
WAS that Mr.. Cleveland did not let Con-
.ress know months ago that he intended
TO stand by the Wilson bill. and eonse-
ouently that all attempts to supersede
that bill By the Senate bill must neces-
sarily fail. We quote:
but there may be one explanation OF
a satisfactory character. When the FL
nance Committee was considering the
House bill and comforting with Mr.. cleve-
land as to the amendments, Mr.. wilson
was absent In the South. Mr.. CLEVELAND
probably honestly believed this the best Dill
that could be obtained and so gave his as
sent. When Mr.. Wilson returned, now
ever, and the President consulted win
him, IL is likely that the Ways ana Means
chairman led him to believe that there
was yet a possibility Of securing the
passage OF a bill conforming TO the pet
ideas of both OF them, and the President.
in his eagerness TO obtain a tariff law
framed on lines which he thought more
nearly Democratic, forgot how far he
had committed himself to the Senate bill.
and wrote the letter that now seems To
have made IT'S adoption an impOssibillty.
This explanation implies that the Presi-
dent is not a man of his own head. 1t
IS unjust 10 him, we think.

ferred 70 by u, appears in fun GA page
