DANIEL RIoRDAN's ESTATE.
Heirs Want Some Property Escheat-
ed to the State.

Among the committee reports was a
bill from the claims committee direct
ing the conveyance to his heirs Of land
formerly owned by Daniel Riordan and
escheated to the state.
Chairman Abbott sent up a com
pound recommendation that it pass
under a suspension of the rules. but
after Speaker Jones had divided it and
the house had acted faverably on the
first half, Mr.. Feig interposed objection
to the suspension on the ground that
it was not good policy to pass bills
along in that fashion, especially claim
bills. This bothered Judge Abbott,
who rose in his characteristic fashion
and explained to the house that if the
members understood the bill they
would make no protest From his ex-
PLANTATION. it appears that Daniel Rior-
dan died some twenty years ago in
this city possessed Of money to the
amount of $500 and a lot in Deans

Sheehan Bill Passes With a Material
Amendment

Senator Sheehan secured the passage Of S.
F. 52S, to legalize the acts of county boards
of equalization, acting under section 552
statutes Of 1894, whether the acts were per-
formed within the time limit specified by
that time or not The bill is intended to vail
date an assessment made on property in the
central retail district of st. Paul by the Ram
sey county board of equalization. The bill
was so amended to exempt the 20 per cent
raise in the assessment. The question as TO
the validity of that increase will have to be
determined in the courts. Without the pas
sage of this bill the entire assessment in that
district would have been invalid.

law respectively. Mr.. Gallagher wants
the custody of his child, and declares
that the Ludwigs refused to yield her

THE RIGHT OF EEEE sPEEcH

Governor Atkinson of West Virginia upholds the right of free speech. A local court in that State went so far as to prohibit striking miners from holding public meetings to discuss the benefits of organization. Governor At kinson declines to reflect upen the court or its action, stating that the Su- preme court of the State is the proper body to dispose of the matter, but he tells the miners that they have con- stitutional right to freedom of speech. The bill of rights of West Virginia also guarantees to the people ''the right to assemble in peaceable manner, to con- suit for the common good, to instruct their representatives or to apply for re- dress of grievances" Governor Atkin- son claims for himself the right to dis cuss politics, religion, science, labor or ganizations, or any other subject he chooses, in public halls or on public HlSHWdyS, so lOIlS as ne coHlIHeS al!H- self to moral suasion and does not in cite people to unlawful acts. The same liberty, he declares, belong to miners, so long as they conduct their cause in a lawful and peaceable manner He adds, however, that he will energetical- ly and speedily repress all lawlessness, protect all property and maintain the public peace at all hazards.
 This is a sound, sensible and entirely defensible position. If there were less intolerance of free speech in labor trou- bles and more and speedier intolerance of unlawful action things would be bet ter than they are.

OUR PR4IRIE STATEN.

M G, Mullhall has been studying our Prairie States and he gives some of the results of his study in the American Review He calls "the Prairie States" Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mich igan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska and the two Da- kotas. In comparing their condition in 1850 with that in 1890 he finds that, whereas from 1850 to 1890 the rate of increase in the whole Union was 165 per cent. for white Americans and 105 per cent. for colored people, the same elements of the population increased in the Prairie States 2S5 and PIT per cent respectively. On the other hand, the number of foreign settlers in the same section increased 563 per cent. In Min nesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas, foreign settlers form one-third of the popula tion; in Missouri and Indiana, they constitute less than 10 per cent. Of the immigrants from Europe to these states, 40 per cent have been Germans, going mostly to Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsn; IS per cent. Scandi- navians, mostly locating in Minnesota; Il per cent. Irish, going mostly to H. linois and Ohio. The ratio of the urban to the rural population is as one to three, whereas in the Middle states and New England it is as two to two.
 The improved area for farming pur- poses in 1890 exceeded eight acres per inha bitant, as compared with five acres in 1850 During the same period the grain crop was multiplied eight-fold
 and the production of meat was in- creased three and a half times In forty years the improved area under farms showed an advance of 157, ,000, ,00C acres, and the grain crop in 1890 was equal to three tons per inhabitant, ol ten times the European average. IT addition, these states produce more l than two-thirds of the grain, and pos
 sess nearly half of the live stock oi | the Union.

4 COMPLY .GRI1IE- -y,

The "crime of '73" doesn't seem as terrible as it did, but there is another 'crime" that begins to look pretty black and will probably look blacker yet. The value of our silver dollar is rapid ly decreasing. It is now about 43 cents and some good judges think 1t may finally get down to 30 cents. As it goes down it costs the country more and more for what was done to "help under the Bland act nearly three hun dred million ounces of silver at an av- craze of $1 05S3 an ounce, and under the sherman act there were purchased about one hundred and seventy million ounces at an average of $0.9244 an ounce. The total purchases by the gov- ernment aggregated $464 210, ,262. .96--a very little more than a dollar an ounce. All this silver may some day have to be sold for what it will bring in gold, and it is of interest to note that if the government were to retire now from the business of making and issu- ing fiat" silver dollars it could not do it without loss. of at least s250, ,o0o, 900. And the longer the silver is held the greater the loss seems likely to be.
 And yet there are silver mine owners and others who have the gall to say tha& the government hasn't yet done enough for silver.
