What of the State:
Duluth Commonwealth


So far as the campaign has progressed
and it is going quite well-we have heard a
great deal about the financial question and
not a little of the tariff, something concern
ing the power of corporations and not
much else.
The financial question is no affair of the
Minnesota legislature or executives whom
we are to elect this fall we'll sena-
ton and congressman; neither is the tariff
These state officers and lawmakers have
important matters to pass upon that may
vitally affect the prosperity and good gov
ernment of all
1t has been said that set of men inter
ested in pine lands have systematically
gouged the state out of its property. Have
any of the parties any preservative or cura-
tive measures to propose for that?
The railroads have got out of paying
taxes and assessments their valua BILE
land holdings on the ground that the gross
earnings tax covered everything. They are
sustained by an Interpretation of the clause
of the constitution which they rely Has
any party any program to offer in that
matter?
The machinery of city government is tc
be overhauled. 1t may be radically re-
constructed. Certainly it needs recon
struction. Does anybody propose any par
ticular plan in that Connection?
The tariff and silver are surely of some
moment. But all the combinations OF
greed and pillage could possibly ask is that
the people should give their entire atten-
ton to those subjects through the state
campaign while they got in their work r
the legislature. Let have some atten.
ton paid, if you please, to state issues.

MUST LOWER RATES.
Meeting of the State Railroad Com
miSSiOnerS.

mlSSlOnerS.
FARGO, N. D., Aug 23.-The conference
between the North Dakota railroad COM
missioners and representatives of railroads
traversing the state was held here today,
having been called for the purpose Of en-
deavoring to secure lower rates on wheat
from North Dakota points to St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth. The railroad
commissioners of Minnesota, Ward Ames,
representing the Duluth chamber of COM
merce, and farmers from all over the
state were also present and took part in
ers that with existing low prices of wheat
after deducting expenses for seeding, till
ing and harvesting, there was absolutely
nothing left to recOmpenSe them for their
labor. They urged that railroads should
share part of the loss which low prices
necessitated If freight rates were not re-
duced they would be forced to cease rails
ing wheat, except for home consumption
petition signed by 1000 extensive farm
ers of the state, praying FOR reduction in
rates, was presented. Representatives of
the railroads listened to the argument, but
declined to make any reduction, declaring
that rates were now as low as they could
possibly afford to have them. Mr. Grover,
of the Great Northern, admitted that if
wheat shipments from North Dakota
ceased it would bankrupt the road, but said
that was a risk roads ran which could not
be obviated. The conference adjourned with
the underSt landing that no voluntary re-
ductions would be made by the railroads.
After the conference number of grain
growers got together and resolved to initiate
movement having for it's object the re-
duction of wheat acreage. They think they
can secure pledges enough to reduce acre
age at least one-tnird, they see nothing
but bankruptcy in present rates and prices.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammatiOn can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dltiOn of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrM that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
cularS, free.
