RIGHTING A WRONG.

The Democratic fractional fight In Buff
falo woull have very little interest for
people outside that city but for the fact
that I.ieut.-Gov. Shechan, the leader OF
one of the factions, has assumed a die
tatorship over the state Democracy and
has used his official position to promote
his perUnal ends against the public in
terests.
When Mr.. Shechan sneaked through
the Legislature bills which reversed the
decision of the voters of Buffalo in their
municipal election. violated the Demo-
cratic principle OF home rule and seized
control of the police directly denied him
by the electors. he made not only the
citizens Of Erie County but the people
of the whole State his opponents.
Rctributlon came upon him from his
own city and county last November
when every candidate OF his faction run
! ming for office Was defeated AT the ballot
BOX. His punishment by the people of
the state was commenced last week by
the passage in the Assembly Of bills
! repeating all thu shameless partisan laws
he secured by undue means a year ago.
These bill should not meet any OBJ
struction III the Senate. The more
prompt the rcbuke the safer the State
will be agains; ShcehaniSm In the future.

WEST SCPERlOR, Wis. Feb. 5.-The
annual meeting of the Lake Superior

held here on Tuesday and "Wednesday.
FRANKLIN Rockefeller and James Corri-
gan Of Cleveland, and a trusted iron man
from the Gogeblc range are already at
the head of the lakes, and other directors
are expected to-day. \ complete change
or Officers and directors will probably be
made at the meeting. and full control of
the company will pass into the hands of
me rockefeller syndicate.
Dispatches from New York so state.
and iron men here VINO are posted say
that in their opinion the mines will pass
TO the Rockefeller people. This will let
out the Merritts, formerly the strongest
stockholders and the pioneer iron men of
the Mesaba range and builders of the
Mesaba and Northern road. which car
RES the Mesaba ore to the docks here.
Lon Merritt was in New York about
ten days ago. and a Superior iron man
Whlle there at the same time was in
formed that Merritt had made arrange
ments to secure 81, 800. 900, which would
put them In position to retain their in
t~erests. 1t has been reported that the
Merritts were pushed for ready cash, and
me money Lon Merritt arranged for in
New York has not arrived.
1t is probable that they have sold to

the Mesaba range, and it's original cap
ital was SlT, 900, 600.
