PARKHURST DESPONDENT.
The Clergyman Disappointed, Yc
Hopes for Reform Sometime.


Rev. DIR. Parkhurst Is despondent
over the present municipal situation.
He says New York has waited nearly
Ave months for reforms that shoul'
have come long ago. He hopes the
Bipartisan Police bill will not pass, but
fears that the Albany legislators are
actuated by money or some other con-
sideration.
But the Doctor also says that while
the people of New York have made
mistakes. he still has faith In them. and
believes municipal home rule is bound
to come. Supt. Byrnes. he says. has
misrepresented the city reformers VINO
have exposed police iniquities, and "A
new head is needed for the Police De
nartment.
DIR. Parkhurst said in a recent inter
view.
MIR. Ainsworth's amendment provid-
ing for the right of appeal kills all good
which there may be in the bipartisan
bill.
with respect to the Mayor, do not
know just what to think of his ac-
tions. If he approves the non-partsan
bill l do not see how he can escape the
accusation OF having broken faith"
"1 have been incorrectly reported ms

anything that is said about me here

OUR EDITOR.

WHAT THE LEADING REPUBLICAN PA
PER OF THE STATE SAYS OF HIM.
The Minneapolis Tribune of July
10th, has this to say of the editor Of
THE REPRESENTATIVE:
"If you 20 away from Minnesota Ito
Europe, for instance.) and inquire
what citizen of this state is most
talked about by people of all classes
you would probably find that Ignatius
DOnnelly would head the list If Mr..
DoEnelly had remained in the Repub-
.lican party and curbed his tendency
to kick over the traces, he might we'll
have aspired to seat in the United
States senate, and ranked as one of
the leaders OF that party. This is my
individual opinion. l do not mean
that it was mine originally, butt have
heard it so often that / believe it to
be the consensus of most unprej-
udiced people who have watched the
career Of the Sage Of Nininger.
The last time Mr.. Donnelly was in
Minneapolis / asked him what he was
doing in literary way:
II am still working on my Baconian
cipher" he said: II have it almost
perfected. and have already worked
out long, connected historical SEN
fences by rule that is perfectly in
flexible and easily understood. l have
no definite idea when the book will be
ready for publication. That depends
somewhat upon the time / can spare
from my other work to complete it,"

LAND GRANT VALID.

decision of Attorney General Childs
today, took several kinks out of the many
land grants of the state, of swamp lands.
In the case of the Duluth & Iron Range,
he holds that it is the duty of the auditor
to certify that grant, Notwithstanding
the fact that the road was completed
after the expiration of the limit set by the
grant, in which the line was to have been
completed Some 100000 acres, mostly
in st. Louis county, and some of the
lands of immense value were involved in
the decision.
This decision may have bearing not
hitherto expected, on some Of the other
grants as the question arises of this COM
pany can claim lands when it has not
completed within the time Set why not
other companies, even although the time
be greatly extended.
This grant is one which has been con-
nected with many twists and turns. The
Duluth & Winnipeg railroad succeeded
to it, provided there was forfeiture, and
in turn the St. Paul. Brainerd & North
western company were to have the lands
If the D. & w. did not build within the
time set for it to do So which the D. &
w. did not do. The attorney generals
decision will revive hopes of others inter-
ested in these lapsed grants, but perhaps
on somewhat fimsy grounds owing to the
recently passed law which forfeits all
grants within the present year.

All labor and farm organizations are
urged to send delegates. 1t is believed
that separate political action will be

The call closed as follows: Recent de-
cisions Of the courts and recent action by
the authorities have put the very exist
ence Of labor organizations in great jeop-
ardy and If these decisions and actions
are allowed to pass unchallenged, the
right to organize is logically denied. It

The American people will never
pay their so-called "debts." 1t is an
impossibility. It was never intended
that they should. The thieves who
engineered the great bond deals were
very careful to make it so that the
bonds could never be paid, and now
the entire produce of the American
peopele will not even pay the interest
on their so-called debts. "-Grander

Can a man be too radically truthful?
