NOTES FROM EXCHANGES

Duluth Commonwealth: A Duluth
railroad man has figured out profit
of 12A per cent for the past season on
the Mesaba roads Investment, both
bonds and stock.
Ashland Commonwealth: Since the
first of September there has been de-
cline of about 800, COO, 900 in the three
great staples of this country, cotton,
wheat and corn. Yet we are told that
prosperity is returning.
Nonconformist: The gold reserve is
being reduced at the rate of 81 200, coo
per day. Part of this amount, say the
dispatches, is being taken out for ex-
port. What is being done with the
balance? Is Wall street taking care
of it, holding it preparatory for an
other bond call?
Chicago Times: Just by way of
warning we would suggest to Demo
Gratis at Washington who are anxious
to pay $4,000, 900 or more year to the
banks and to give to the banks con-
troll of the peoples money that they
are in danger of making more Popu-
list votes in the next two months
than can be overcome between now
and 1896.
Progressive Age. The editor of the
Lake Benton News made very un-
kind allusiOn to the Hon. Ignatius
Donnelly, in his paper, whereupon the
Sage of Nininger blew a blast about
the editors ears which he will RENE M
Der beyond this vale of tears. There
is only one Donnelly.
Clarkfeld Advocates: The greatest
question of the Nineteenth century,
and the only one which is to decide the
future form of our governments this:
Snail the people in their organized ca
paclty government issue their own
money, or shall they permit their SER
wants IN congress to delegate that
power to private individuals and cor
poratiOns.
Farmers Outlook: Cotton and
wheat cannot be raised profitably at
present prices. All admit that this is
true. But it will be disastrous to
adopt the remedies proposed by some
"a great reduction in acreage. Di-
versify and vote right. You may re-
duce the cotton yield to one million
bale annually, and if the same gang
of goldbugs and monopolists continue
in the saddle, prices will be low.
Waseca Herald: The remedy for
corporation-rule is in the government
ownership and operation Of the roads.
In the nature of man, there can be no
other satisfactory solution of this
problem. The people of this country
can not afford to live at the mercy OF
corporation managers,'or of labor or

enormous profit, and taking gold out
of the treasury with the other hand,

The results Of the st. Louis confer

success in most particulars. Its dec
laration of principles, while they have
no binding force on the next national
convention, Is, in the main, a good one.
1t would have probably been better to
have eliminated some features of the

columns last week, deserves we'll of the

the methods resorted to in defrauding
the state and are certain to have an
excellent effect.
Magnolia Advance: The report Of
the pine land committee that has been
presented to Gov. Nelson, is a red hot
arraignment of Auditor Rierman and
eX-Auditor Braden. The report shows
that large stealings have been made
from the state with official sanction
for the past 20 years.
Duluth Commonwealth: -Four hun

away? 1t would abolish taxation for

Clarkville Advocates: The renowned
pine land investigation committee
filed its report with the governor on
the 2lst. The document reveals some
startling facts, and proves that fraud,
corruption and venalty have prevailed
in our state government during the
past three decades. 1t proves that
state officers have been in direct
league with some of the most extern
sive lumber dealers and have defraud-
ed the people of Minnesota to the ex-
tent of several millions of dollars. The
committee found from the testimony
of Auditor Bierman that one Mr. Clark,
who has an office in the Pioneer Press
building, and who makes a business of
specializing in swamp lands, had been
engaged as clerk in the state auditor S
office, at a salary of 81 800 year, that
he had hired man for 5000 year to
do the work and that he used the in
formation obtained in the auditor S
office to aid him in his speculation.

the state before and never renders an
other in the future, he would be en-
| titled to the eternal gratitude of the
people of Minnesota for the report that
he evidently drafted in the pine land

rarely ever find out who their best

In addition to these tables there are
seventeen suits under way, in which
the evidence is we'll worked up and
the amount involved in these are in
the aggregate $2O5,O76.44. This will
bring the grand total of money recov-
cred to the state by virtue of the in
vestigations to the figure of $393, ,095. .95.
AS result of the committees work
many who have been notorious timber
thieves all their lives have commenced
to make true reports. In stopping the
sale of hardwood timber the commit
tee has rendered the state service
which will amply compensate it for all
the money paid out in the work of
prosecuting the Investigations. The
committee further finds that the rob-
berry has extended into every nook and
corner of the state, not barring terri
tory where townships are supposedly
still untouched.
And all this was accomplished at an
outlay of about s. 800; and there will
probably be no deficiency for the leg
islature to make up.
While all the committee deserve
credit. Messrs. Leavitt and Staples es-
pecially so, it must not be forgotten
that the original resolution was drawn
and introduced by a Populist (Mr. Don
nelly): and when Republican men,

WHAT WE MIGHT Do.

Confederation of the Latin Re
publics Of Central and South
America for mutual protection
agalns European aggression is a
step in the rioht direction. At
first glance it seems a reproach
to the United States that such an
alliance should be necessary, but
it is not so. It is contrary to the
policy of this Government to en-
broil itself in the difficulties of
foreign Powers in which no prin
ciple for which it is bound to con-
tend is involved.
There are many evidences that
such an alliance among the Latin
Republics is needed. There are
many signs that efforts are now
being made or will soon be made
in Europe looking toward terri
torial or commercial aggrandize-
ment or both in Central and South
America, which all through the
coming century are to be deve-
Looping and widening fields of
commercial enterprise.
IT would seem to be eminently
juc;cious, as well as proper, for
the United States to maintain
the most cordial relations with
all these countries, and, though
we need no alliance to defend US
against European aggressions,
it might not be a bad stroke of
policy, in a commercial way, to
become one Of the contracting
Republics leagued against the
effete despotismso of the oldWorld.

THO Sc HAWAIIAN PATRIOTS.

The sugar bounty jumpers who
propose 10 annex Hawaii, peace
ably if they can, but forcibly if
they must, are now insisting that
Japan is the enemy most to be
dreaded in that quarter. We are
informed, with much eloquent
IN essiveness, that the Japs
are extending thei: trade rela-
tions with the Islands and that
their naval demonstrations in
Hawaiian waters are of a char
acter to excite suspicion and dis
trust.
Doubtless Mr.. Claus Spreckels
would as soon have his sugar
plantations annexed to Japan as
to this country, if there were a
Republican party in Japan ready,
on its next accession to power,
to pay a heavy bounty or every
pound of sugar produced in its
territory. But that condition is
not likely Of any realization in
Japan, a nation which is making
continual and rapid progress in
civilization, so that Claus finds
hiaself compelled to force an
nexation to the United States.
AS far as national sentiment or
patriotism goes, Claus is as much
a Jap as he is an American.
The Eastern holders of Haw-
allan bonds, and particularly
those connected by blood ties
with the missionary children, are
enthusiastic in protest against
allowing the Mikado to unfurl
his flag in the Pacific. Their
slumbers are disturbed by night
ly visions of the Lord High Exc
cutioner in the act of decapita-
ting Uncle Samuel or of another
Poo-Bah holding and exercising
all the titular dignities and off
cial powers in Honolulu. They
are in sore case.
