The income tax decision is likely to
create wholesome boom of real estate
A considerable part of incomes comes
from real estate and the rebating of the
tax at this time will naturally give this
class of property new attractiveness
for investors. As TO the effect on the
income tax it is figured that the ex-
pected returns therefrom may be re-
duced as much as 80 per cent. by the
exemptions of incomes from this source.

GOLD PRODUCT OF 1904.

1t has been claimed time and again
that the production of gold was on
the decrease, but various statistics
which have appeared during the past
year do not sustain such assertions
The ST. Louis Globe Democrat in speak
ing of the worlds production says
The worlds production of gold in
1894 has broken the record. The to-
tai is placed by the United States
Mint Bureau at $175, 900, 900, gain of
nearly $40, 100000 over the figures of
1893, which surpassed the yield of any
previous year. The gain is chiefly in
the United States, South Africa, Aus
tralia and Russia. The gold mined
in this country in 1894 is not far from
S45, 100000 including an increase of
81, $780, 900 in Colorado, 100000 in
California, 81 ,OOO,O 900 in Montana and
SS00,000 in Idaho. Large gains are re-
ported in Oregon and Washington.
The gold yield in South Africa has
made bound from S26, 100000 in 1898
to S3S, 000.0 600 in 1891. Australia will
yield about $4,000, 900, gain of 49,
100000, and Russia $4,000, 900, against
$40, 600, 900 in 1898. China will probab-
ly show falling off as result of it's
disturbed condition. For the coming
year a gold yield of 100000, 900 is in
Dictated, but no one as yet has raised
the cry OF production.

1T is rumored that Mr.. Cleveland
would have more influence with con-
gress if he was not so poverty stricken
in the matter of patronage. And
right here is trouble of Mr.. Ceve-
lands own building. From the first
he has assumed the position as boss
over congress. If he could not get
his wishes carried out in one way he
tried another, but at all times the
bride of public patronage was held
up before the members, to help bring
them over to his way of thinking.
The "fodder" has run low, and now
he is held in contempt by many who
were fawning around him few
months ago. 1t is the natural result
of such course, and the helpless con-
dition into which Democracy has fall
len therefrom is not at all inspiring.

THE LAWMAKERS.

In the legislature yesterday Senator
Barr introduced bills,one for "the plac-
ing of division of property lines" and
one to repeal section 9, Chap. 222 of
the special laws fixing the salary of
the superintendent of the poor of
Blue Earth county. This latter was
given it's first, second and third read
ings and was passed.
Senator Ozmund, of Ramsey county,
introduced corrupt practice bill,
which provides that no person shall
lend or give any valuable considera-
tion to any voter to procure the cleo
tion of any person to public office.
Senator Kellar introduced a bill
providing that the salary of the presi-
dent of the senate and speaker of the
house shall not exceed 5000, and that
of members shall not exceed $500
whether the session is longer or short
er than sixty days.
Representative FosS introduced a
bill to carry out the amendment to the
constitution to tax inheritances. 1t
provides for graded tax on inheri-
tanceS Of $500 and over on property of
both residents and nOn-residents in
certain cases in the following ratio:
On property in value from $500 to
$4,000 per cent; property over $780,
600 but not exceeding $4,000, 2 per
cent; on all property over S25, 900, but
under $50, GOO, 3 per cent; over $4,000
but not exceeding 100000, per cent,
and per cent on all values over $780,
600. Property bequeathed to educa-
tional and religious institutions escape
the tax, as does also property under
the value of $4,000 willed under GER
tain conditions. BY the bill the tax
until paid is made lien and discount,
on the other hand, is allowed for
prompt payment, and penalty i'm
posed for delayed payment. Admin
istratOrS and trustees are given au-
thority to sell property under their
charge, to meet the tax and they can
not be compelled to deliver property
until such tax is satisfied. The law
is put in effect through the probate
courts and the remaining provisions
define their duties, and those of the
guardians, executors, administrators
and trustees.
Senator Howard introduced his
municipal charter bill, designed prin-
cipally for the larger cities, but from
comments we have seen on the same

nor then just as sincerely as they do
not want him for United States Sena-
tor now.
1t would seem from Gov. Nelson's
attitude that he has little or no re-
gard for the favors extended him in
the late election. If one is to read
his mind through his acts, he has
arrived at the conclusion that his
name is as magic as a metallic wand,
his power as unlimited as space, and
the people as submissive to his will as
he himself is rapacious for official
power. Possessed of positive nature,
with gall overlooking with bitter
ness against any man who declines to
do his bidding, backed up by strong
combination of otfice-hOlderS who
want to go higher in the counsels of
the party, a campaign is being worked
that, to those who know the inside
workings of the Nelson camp, is
truly appalling. Men who are draw
ing their subsistence from the State
treasury have temporarily forsaken
their trusts and are now doing the
bidding of their master, and upon the
results of their labors will depend
their political heads. All expired ap-
pointments will remain untouched
until after Mr.. Nelson's fate in the
Senatorial contest shall be decided,
and favors thereafter will be distrib-
uted as per results. Promises OF
place are being made with boldness
that would do honor to a king, and
every method known to the art of
chicanery in politics is being resorted
pected to purify the politics of Min
nesota; if the elevation of citizen
to the position of Governor means
the prostitution of that office to the
most corrupt uses to crafty the ambi-
tion of a man twice hOnOred as the
chief executive of a great State, then
indeed is the boasted freedom of
American citizenship at an end. 1t
is worse than slavery and more despic-
able than rebellion.
The boldness of t.-Governor
Clough is truly characteristic Of that
highly honorable gentleman if we are
to believe a reputed interview in last
evenings Minneapolis Tribune, and
the slight acquaintance the FREE
PRESS has with him leads us to accept
the statement as genuine. He is
quoted as saying that "the Nelson
combination had the State patronage,
and if the State offices were not suffi-
cient, they had the money, if needed,
that would make Nelson the next
United States Senator" Is not such
an outspoken attitude as this highly
gratifying to the Republican party of
Minnesota, and coming, as it does,
from man who will reign as Cover
nor for two years if Nelson is elected
Senator, is not the outlook for clean
administrator of public affairs most
encouraging
The men who are now responsible
to the people are the Senators and
Representatives Upon them will de-
wolves the constitutional duty of
electing United States Senator. 1t
will be we'll that they look carefully
to the discharge of this duty so that
no faint shall rest upon their skirts.

IT is claimed that 300 cheese factor
les in Wisconsin are engaged in max
ing filled cheese. The milk used in
it is run through separator, which
removes nearly all of the butter fat.
SKINNED milk, and by the applica-
tion of heat the mixture is made into
a cheese which is far more deceptive
than the old imitation kinds. These
are said to be decidedly injurious to
the health of those who eat them, and
produce a most obstinate dyspepsia.
Wisconsin's good name as a dairy
state will rapidly deterivoate if this
kind of thing is kept up.

AND TO THIS HAVE WE COME.

The Senatorial contest now being
in interest anything that has been
witnessed in Minnesota politics tor a
good many years. AS the days sue
coed each other, it is plainly evident
that the battle is developing into one
where the people are arrayed upon
the one side, with the State House
condition of affairs already exists,
and to such an extent as to cause one
to wonder whether or not the people
have any rights that can be protected
against the devouring greed for official
power which permeates the very air
which the high officials of state
inhale.
Gov. Nelson has made good eXecu-
tive. He received the endorsement
of the people of Minnesota by an
overwhelming majority in recogni-
tion of his two years services as Gov
ernor. The people believed that his
official acts entitled him to a re-
election, and so believing, rallied to
his support with that loyalty which
is SO characteristic of the American
people when they become aroused to
the true situation, as they were last
fall. These same people believe as
firmly today as they did when they
cast their ballots on the 9th of No
vember that they voted for Mr.. Mel
son for Governor, and for no other
office. They wanted him for Cover

WHAT THEY WISH.

The Twin City papers of last eve
ming report Congressman McCleary as
saying:
81 think can say that if [ received
all the good things that the people of
Mankato wish me [ would have no
cause to ask for more"
The good thing which the Mankato
people want Mr. McCleary to have
just at present is the position to
which they helped elect him last No
vember, and they would much prefer
to see him in Washington than in ST..
Paul these days. For senator here the
sentiment is unanimous for Hon.
w. ID. Washburn.

Down in Tennessee the Democrats
are doing their level best to make the
state solid Republican in the future.
The Republicans carried it by a
small majority for governor and the
Democrats are taking steps to beat
them out of it and seem likely to sue
coed. Republicanism is on the
grow in the south, and the Ten
nessee incident will give it an impe-

The Tribune of yesterday published
fourteen columns of comments taken
from papers from all parts of the
state, endorsing Senator Washburn
for reelection. Public senti-
ment is rising everywhere in
this direction, and if the members
of the legislature do not choose him
they will simply fail to carry out the
will of the people.
