THAT ASSIGNMENT LAW

The decision of Judge Sullivan
last week wherein he held that thu
law of 1895 in relation to assign
ments did not apply to indebted
ness contracted prior to the pas
sage of that law, so far as releasing
persons making assignments fol
the benefit of creditors, was great
disappointment to many who cal
see no other way out of their fnan
cial difficulties, yet it seems to be
good law supported by the highest
authorities, and the decision may
be accepted as final. Before a per
son can be released from his in
debtedness his estate must pay
fifty cents on the dollar of that in
debtedness, making the law prac-
ticallv worthless for the insolvent
debtor. No one Is benefited by
this law, anu the state, as a rule, is
injured by if. The debtor, who can
see no ray of hope for the future OF
being able to pay large indebted
ness contracted in good times when
values were inflated, increased by
an excessive interest rate, becomes
respondent, loses hope and cOur-
age, and is inclined to move to an
other field of operation where he
may escape from his persistent
creditors; or, he takes another road,
and by means tainted with fraud
places his property beyond the
reach Of creditors, and in either
case the creditor gains nothing, and
the state loses either the person, or
his worth as "a honest citizen, and
also the benefit Of his industry and
accumulations, whereas, If by law
he could clear the state, " and start
anew, his experience, hope and am
bition would make him a valuable
citizen as a wealth maker, while
his sense of honor would be unim-
paired.
1t new remains with creditors
whether the honesty of this com
munity be maintained at the high
mark for which the people have
heretofore been noted, and the pres
ent settlers be encouraged to remain
and work out their salvation in q
country rich almost beyond concep-
ton, and possessing the greatest
possibilities, or whether they will
force men to leave the homes fol-
which they have toiled so hard, Oh
cause them to seer the conscience
by dishonest acts of concealing anC
covering up their property.
BY the manifestation of proper
spirit Oh behalf Of creditors every
one in this vicinity can come out o
this panic, not only unhurt, but
better qualified to make and save
money on account of experience
The interests of creditors and debt
ors are mutual, therefore let there
be mutual exhange of confidence
in each others honesty. Let thc
creditor start this feeling by show
ing to the debtor that he appreciates
his condition, rather by deeds thar
words. First, let him cancel al
past usurous interest. and com
mence now with the principal draw

GRASS SEED.

Representative Ferris, Of this
district, from Brainerd, has shown
himself in direct touch with the
people who lost SO heavily during
the fierce fires that devastated
large areas of this State last
autumn. The provisions Of the
law that Mr.. Ferris framed and
worked through the legislature,
are highly commendable, and
should be carefully read by every
farmer. Every man who suffered
in the loss of meadows, has an
easy opportunity opened up to
him through which he can, without
any expense, procure grass seed to
SOW on the denuded lands. The
full text of Representative Ferris
law is given this week in this pa
per. Read it carefully, farmers,
and take advantage Of it's humane.
provisions, and do not forget the
man who had sympathy with you
in your time of need. The GOV
ernor has not yet attached his sig
nature to the measure, but know
him as we do in this section of the
State, not the slightest misgiv1ng
need be felt on that line. You
will note that it tai es Immediate
effect, insuring ample time for the
distribution of the seed to the
needy ones in all parts of the fire
swept districts.

FROM every country paper SO
far received, since the passage of
the railroad land tax bill, comes
the hearty approval of its meas
ures. Some objections are heard,
from the fact it will be some time
before taxes can be collected on
these lands, which is of course
true, but it will have an effect in
the early disposal of these lands to
settlers, who will improve the
same and pay the taxes as thew
fall due. As it now is the com
panies hold the lands and receive
the benefit of rise in value without
contributing one cent to build up
the country in the way of roads,
bridges, schools, etc. Whatever
else may be said in relation to the
present Legislature, that body has
the everlasting gratitude of the
mass of the people in passing the
railroad land tax bill. .

THE late Fred Douglass wrote,
some time ago, an article showing
the manner in which he obtained
his last name. AS a slave he bore
the lengthy catalogue of names,
Frederick Augustus Washington
Bailey. To escape slave-hunters
while in Maryland, he assumed
the name Of johnson. After get
ting through to Connecticut he
found the johnson name a very
common one and he set about the
task of finding new one. Mr..
johnson who kept him had been
reading 'Lady of the Lake." and
from that poem was obtained the
name Douglass that the distin.
guished colored man bore fol
forty three years of his life, AND
by which he will always be remem
bered.
