my house; put on a little paint, made
my lawn looka trifle more decent, Il
fact cleaned up generally. AS q re-
suit my valuation was raised $500.
Across the street are two vacant lots,
equally as good as mine, that pay no
taxes in comparison. Am becoming
a believer in the single tax theory.
Don't think. it is right to, tax a man
for making improvements"

Tyler Journal: A business man
came into our office last week and
asked for Tracy paper; we produced
one of each of the papers published
at that place. He examined them
and then said: II want to send to
Tracy for some goods I am out of
and as-has an advertisement in
the papers I'll deal with them"
This week another business man came
to this office for PipestOne paper
for a similar purpose; now dear read
er, these papers are no exceptions.
Every newspaper is the business
directory of the town in which it is
published.
Blue Earth City Post: Ambition
and defeat have unbalanced Don
nelly's judgment and destroyed his
usefulness. Whatever Mr.. Donnelly
may now say about his not being a
candidate for office, the coming elec-
tions will find him again and again a
candidate for office as long as he
shall live. He is too old in life to
change from condition into which
he has developed as into second
birth. Mr.. Donnelly is a chronic,
crippled incurable office seeker and
as such he will hobble through life
on the crutches of defeat.
Hokah Chief: The large number of
scissors grinders, fake agents, beg
gars, etc., seen much too often on our
streets, is not very encouraging sign
of the condition of the times. And
as to the fakirs who most frequently
ply their work in the farming COM
munities, we warn our patrons to be
cautious. This class is not safe to do
business with or harbor as they will
beat you every time if you do business
with them. Deal only with live busi-
ness men who advertise and invite
you to their place of business. They
have reputation to sustain and
would not dare to defraud you.
! Waterville Advance: Mr.. Knute-
son who organized branch of the
Citizens Fire Insurance Associa tion
in this place, is getting considera BILE
roasting from the newspapers where
he has operated. He has organized
extensively and collected considerable
money, but just what good he has,
or intends to accomplish, does not,
even at this late day, appear on the
surface. He has instituted criminal
proceedings against the Fairmont
Sentinel for intimating that he is a
fraud and humbug. At the trial Mr..
X. will be put on the stand and asked
some very pointed questions about
his mode of reducing the cost of fire
insurance. If Mr.. Day is right Mr..
Knuteson will be an object of pity
before he gets through with him.
St. Paul Globe: The sugar schedule
should have been disposed of in an
hour. All the issues involved have
been we'll understood for months, and
doubtless every senator upon the floor
has made up his mind how to cast his
vote. The discussion so long drawn
out is merely a blind designed with
, the hope of deceiving the people into
, a belief that there was something K
be gained by debate. But the people
are not fools. They can see through
; the gauzy mask clearly, and know, as
! well as the senators themselves know
that many of the votes have been pur.
chased and will be delivered accord
ing to the terms of sale whenever the
: trust shall require them. All pre-
tense to the contrary is the .sheerest
nonsense, and will hoodwink no one
