We fail to see where the State
will be the gamer if Auditor Bier
mann is successful in his conten-
ton with the general land office
that the allotments of swamp lands
to the State should be governed by
the field notes of the United States
surveyors. If any of the lands so
designated are not swamp lands
and are suitable for cultivation
they will be occupied by settlers,
and new settlers is what Minnesota
wants. Right here IN Mile Laos
county several instances have oc.
Cured where homesteaders settled
upon what we're termed State
swamp lands, but which IN reality
we're not swamp lands. The set
tiers established their claims and
are residing on the lands to-day,
are contributing their share toward
the development of the resources
of the county and are good and
useful citizens. If the State had
established it's claims to the lands
lin question some railroad corpora
| ton would have owned them anC
in all probability would have hello
them at a high figure. The sooner
the tlllable lands of the State &c
into the hands of bona fde settler
the better.

The deficit for the fiscal year end

MINNEAPOLIS Penny Press: The
State legislature should enact a law
requiring all meetings of State
boards to be held public. There
are too many secret meetings be-

tanned of their meetings is from
the secretary, who is instructed
by the members.

Frank Stacy's Side Shots in Sat
urday Evening Spectator.

The much mooted Ohio sand
stone, which the University regents
decided to use for the University
library building, in preference to
the products of Minnesota quar-
ries, is rearing it's dun-colored
front. It was hauled from Ohio,
at freight cost exceeding the first
cost Of the stone, I am told, be-
cause of it's alleged classical and
Parthenon-like effects. I have a
brindle coat and snuff colored hat
whose Parthenon-like effects har-
NOME so elegantly with Ohio
sandstone hues, that I think OF
offering them to Architect Bufing-
ton for decorative purposes.
My saloon friends say with great
plausibility that, while it is all
right to enforce laws against ped
dlers, the enforcement of laws and
ordinances against Sunday and
midnight saloons is clearly Puri-
tanic. My gambler acquaintance
allow that, whereas the church
fairs and nickel-in-the-slot ma.
chimes must be religiously sup
pressed, it would be outrageously
Puritanic to enforce laws agains1
gentlemanly games like faro, rou
lette, baccarat and craps. A few
of my bosom friends who follow
burglary and murder have alse
brought to my attention the Puri
tanic tendency in some quarters t
enforce the laws regarding thei
profession, and in such a way as tt
interfere with the profits of thei
business and even drive them from
patronizing Minneapolis. I hav'
given all of them assurances tina
under the admirable bushes
policy which the city is now en-
Toying this Puritan1sm cannot b
allowed. While it may be neces
sary. to close front doors in orde
to insure the support of the churc]
|vote, the back doors should Away
be open to the patriotic seekers o
personal liberty.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
the Unions Special Correspondent.

From the Unions Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 28.-
The tariff bill is now scheduled to
60 through the senate within
week from the first of June. It is
no more like the Wilson bill than
the Mckinley bill. If it was not
such a protective measure for the
trusts and dealt a little better for
the farmers 1t would not be far
from the kind of bill which the
Republicans could have endorsed.
You will observe that there has not
been a word from the Democratic
side about the the 'Erobber barons"
that has been such campaign cry
for SO many years among the Dem
Ocrats.
Senator Don Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, is a candidate for the
presidency. He wants the Repub-
lican nomination on a platform for
protection and free silver.
Senator Washburn has already
made arrangements with his COM
mittee on commerce to fix up the
matter with the river and harbor
bill so that the lumbermen with
their RATS in Lake. Superior will
meet with 10 difficulties.
By the way, will Maj. Baldwin
oppose the duty of forty cents a
ton on iron ore placed there by the
senate? He made a fight for it in
the house. The Duluth people in.
terested told Senators Davis and
Washburn that they could gel
along with the duty and the Min
nesota senators made no effort t.
get it increased, and were glad il
was no worse.
Neither Knute Nelson or Joh1
Lind will be candidates for senator
Nelson will be reelected governor
and Lind is not after office at the
present time. When Lind is :
candidate there is no office to-
good for him that the people O.
the State can confer. It is no dis
paragement to any other man tt
say than Lind is one of the hes
men Minnesota ever had in tn,
house.

The patriotic and iberty-loving
people of Princeton and vicinity
have come to recognize the 30th of
May as the holiday of the year,
and never before was the day more
generally observed than yesterday.
Business was entirely suspended
in the afternoon. The procession
formed on Main street in front of
G. A. R. hall and promptly started
for the Fair grounds at 1 P. M. AL
though the old veterans are con-
stantly ''Dropping from the Ranks
One by One," there were more of
them in line yesterday than on any
Memorial day for several years
past. The Sons of Veterans, TWEEN
ty-fve strong, presented fine ap-
pearance in the handsome uniforms
and accouterments- one little
boy remarked, ''they looked like
real soldiers.' The KNIGHTS of
Pythias, Odd Fellows and Good
Templars turned out in force and
showed their good will and pat
riotism. The ladies of the W. R.
G.. and L. A. S. No. 1 were we'll
represented. But the prettiest
sight of all were the school chill
dren with flags and bouquets.
Hundreds of citizens on foot and
in carriages brought up the rear.
At the Fair grounds a substan-
tial platform had been erected in
front of the grand stand for the
speaker and the choir. Every seat
in the spacious grand stand was
OCCUPIED and hundreds stood
