AND STILL THEY FIGHT.
Another Legal Battle for the Renvlllt
County Seat.

On Friday, Clerk of Court Cook of
Renv1lle County appeared before Judge
Webber at Redwood Falls on a writ of
mandamus to show cause why he refu-
ses to obey the courts order to move
back TO the old county seat at Beaver
Falls. Cook is part of the district court
and had agreed after an alternative writ
was served upon him to move back yes
terday. Olivia citizens have urged him
to fight the mandamus and he has COM
Piled. At 8 o'clock Friday morning
several Morton citizeus drove into Red
wood Falls, routed the operator out of
bed and sent word to John Lind at New
Ulm to come to Redwood to fight the
case for Beaver Falls. Half dozen law
yers are here for Cook. Feeling is in
tensely bitter towards Olivia for pro-
longing the agony, and force is liable to
occur at any time. Sheriff Wickham is
the only county official vino has obeyed
the courts mandate and moved back 10
Beaver Falls.
Senator Iseishus of Lyon county is re-
ported to V candidate for the Popu-
list nomination for congress in this dis
trict. Il

"THE DECLARATION or DEPENDENTS"

Yesterday was the Nations festival of It's in
dependence, and the inspiring thoughts con.
nected with the day stirred every pulse. Pa
trotc speeches were made; bands played Ma
tiOnal melodies; fireworks Of all kinds were set
off Small boys and men who became boys
again for the time. found satisfying delight
In the mere noise and animal exuberance that
have come to mark the day; while a multitude
OF quiet folk all over the land, who were not
much In evidence, felt n patriotic ardor as they
recalled the birth and wonderful growth OF the
Nation. II was Independence Day and Its very
name was stimulus and an inspiration to
Americans In facing the pregnant future that
lies before them.
But we have yet among us, and will continue
to have, until the millennial age Of n perfect
social order Is realized vast number Of help
less people, men and women. boys and girls.
to whom the day we have just celebrated has
no meaning. For one reason or another they
have no part or lot In the glorious thought OF
independence; they are. rather, Dependents
upon the kindness. goodwill and brOtherly help
of their more favored fellow-citIzens 1t Is
well for us to observe with joyous zest our in
dependence Of foreign rule; but shall we not at
the same time remember these Dependents
among us. and the moral responsibility resting
upon us to make their lot more happy! And
may we not appeal especially to the readers Of
this journal to bear In mind the helpful charity
of The Tribune Fresh Air Fund? No, we take
that word back. 1t Is not n charity. except as
all obligations to the service OF man resting
upon us may be called charity 1t Is n duty
first. and then, II you please, n charity, duty
that we owe no less to the helpless waits Of the
tpncmcnts than TO ourselves: for In performing
1t we enrich our own lives far more than those
whom ut such slight expense to ourselves we
help to a glimpse OF Gods country and the
pure fresh mir Of heaven. Yesterday In many
places was read the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence, noble and stirring utterance, with the
warm life blood Of a newborn Nation coOring
Its every line. To-day, and every day In the
year. the Declaration OF Dependents Is rising to
our ears. Its tones are at once tragic and
pathetic, most Of all when they come In the
thin treble Of childrens voices. That cry of
the children was set to the rhythm Of noble
verse by Elizabeth Barrett Browning many
years ago But 1t IL no less calculated to touch
the most callous heart as II In uttered this
morning from the teeming tenements OF this
fair city In the unpoetic and oftentimcs In
articulate tones OF abortcd lives set In the midst
OF squalid misery

THE DAVNING OF A NEW AGE.

The death of Harriet Beecher Stowe was
something more than the passing away Of an
interesting personality: That personality had.
indeed, already passed from the ken Of living
mortals years before. 1t was more than the
last exit Of almost the last important actor in
the anti-slavery drama. Civil war a generation
ago rang down the final curtain upon that
stage, and either left the actors tagging super
fnous or sent them eisewhither TO play other
parts. In its more significant phase the incl
dent is one that marks the near approach II
not the actual advent Of new era in our Ma
tionnl history. 1t indicates more fOrcibly than
anything else could do how close we are com
ing to the time In which those old controversies
Will indeed be old and will remain cOntrO-
versies only upon the historic record. Harriet
Beecher Stoves was an epochnaking life
work Her death is the herald Of the dawn OF
n new age.
She had become n figure Of the past. But 1t
was of that proxImate past Of which the pres
ent Is least mindful. OF what is occurring to-
day the world is well Informed. That Is news.
or what occurred a hundred or thousand years
ago II has some knowledge. That IL history.
But of what occurred when men now growing
old were young II knows CT all the least The
last generation is always the one that stands
In the shadows Of the unknown borderland be-
tween news and history. SO 1t will come to pass

NEW-YORK'S OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

Nobody has done better work toward i'm
proving the condition Of the tenement house
dweller Of New York, and consequently toward
lettering the moral and physical condition Of
the city MS a whole. than Mr.. Richard Watson
Glider He and his colleagues Of the Tenc-
ment- House Commission made the invcstiga-
tons which resulted in the present building
laws. These, while by 10 means all that could
be desired, are a vast Improvement on any
thing we had before, and, though secured I'm
the face Of great opposition. are manifestly Of
so great public utility that even selfish interest
does not dare TO suggest return to the old
ways.
Mr. Glider has been studying the tenement
house problem as 1t Is presented by European
towns. and some Of the results Of his obscrva-
ton are presented in another column. We are
so accustomed In this country TO think OF our
land az the refuge Of the oppressed of the Old
World where there is room for all and a greater
chance for wealth, health and happiness. that
1t Will doubtless be n surprise to many TO learn
that the conditions surrounding our tenement
house population are in some respects the worst
in the world We have been paying the penalty
of being n new country. where cheap building
Is the rule and where the necessity for strict
construction Of the police power OF the State has
not yet been learned by experience. In the
small towns Of our earlier history there was no
need for strict regulations against crowding,
and only after the crowding had gone far was
the need discovered Consequently New-YOrk
has tenement-house district the most crowded
in the civilized world, with buildings fmsily
constructed. dark, unhealthy and liable to fires.
The Old World suffered less because OF its
slower habits and tendency to build houses
more substantially and OF less height But the
Old World discovered the necessity Of reform
Ing it's moderate evils before we did anything
effective to correct our greater ones. Mr..
Glider points out the direction that this work

has taken In cities Of England and the
Continent. New streets, parks and condemna'
tion of the worst rookeries to make places for
modern buildings are transforming the old
towns We who look on few small parks

the humanitarian impulse have much to learn
about municipal Improvement and the bestowal
of equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness on all men. We have, as Mr.. Glider
remarks made some good negative regulations.
The next step Is to see that they are enforced
and not left to be dead letters on the statute
books as too many Of our laws are. Then we
need some more positive measures From pre-
venting the erection Of bad houses we must go
forward to the erection Of good ones. Every
dollar spent by the city In this work Is nm In
vestment which will bring back interest In the
form Of more clearly and more orderly pop'i'
lation. capable Of better work. The expenditure
will bring its return even in dollars and cents,
and the moral benefit which Ia after all the
more important, Is not to be calculated
