Judge William Mitchell is conceded to be
the aplest judge on the bench in Minnesota,
II not in the Northwest. Two or three times
ne mas been named by the Republicans and
supported BY all parties for the supreme
pehch' and the confidence thus reposed in him
has never been abused He is iurist and
not politician. There is an effort being
MADE by few men who do not like, and
possibly cannot use Judge Mitchell to pre-
vent his reelection. 1t would be disgrace
II they succeeded. 1t is a matter of history
that Judge James Gilillan, one of the purest
and ablest of Minnesota's judges, was driven
from the bench by a coterie of politicians who
never will be known in the future history
OF the state, and that the treatment thus I'M
justly meted out to him caused his premature
death. We do not imagine that failure to
receive denomination would have the same
effect upon Judge Mitchell, but it would be
disgrace to the state if the men who are
consplring to drive him from the supreme
bench should succeed

Speaking to the Question.

While the dictatorship of Speaker
Reed is something that no Democrat
can approve, there are certain features
of it that are worth remembering be-
cause they bring to the front those
things that make relationships possible
and even tolerable. For example, dur
ing the course of the debate on the
Loud postal reform bill, Mr.. Reed call
ed a member to order for ATTEMPTING
TO make a general political speech. and
announced that he would enforce
thereafter rigidly the rule requiring ey-
cry member to speak to the question
If this rule We're enforced in both
houses, we would have no need of a.
previous question, Of rules to limit de-
bates, and of measures to shut off a
factious obstruction by the minority. It
would end at one blow the attempt of
minority to rule and the correlative
determination of the majority to ride
roughshod over all opposition.
The practical denial of the right to
do business by keeping a legislative
body in perpetual deadlock and the
remedy of gag and force rules both
rise from the latitude of debate under
general codes Of parliamentary pro-
cedure. All that was needed to end
an abuse, and to remove the necessity
for substituting another in it's place
was to enforce the rule that q man

COLLINS STILL IN DOUBT
ABOUT MAKING AN ACTIVE HUSTLE,
THIS YEAR
Repeats the Assertion Originally
Made That He VIII Make the Race
If His Friends Secure the Nomi-
nation for Him-His Trip to Du-
Iuth Was Satisfactory

Loren w. Collins, judge of the su-
nreme court and prominent candidate
for governor, was asked yesterday by
reporter for The G o b e:
DO you intend to become an active
and open candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor"
Il cannot say yet whether 1 will be-
he responded, "but will say, as I have
said before, that L am willing to take
the nomination and make the race, if
the work of my friends will bring it
to me-
How about that conference at Du-
luth? Did your friends ask you to
come out squarely and make a hard
fig'ht?"
Yes, they did. However, that con-
ference has been overstated. There was
no conference in the sense that the
word Is generally used. l was in Du-
luth sounding sentiment up in that di-
rection, and all the talk I had with
the people up there was purely infor-
NAL, and not at all prearranged. 1 had
heard that the sentiment there was
against me, and 1 went there to ascer-
tain the truth of the matter. What l
learned was highly satisfactory. The
reports had been overrated. The pres
ence of Auditor Dunn was entirely I'M
expected, so far as 1 was concerned,
and the same may be said of others of
those who were there"
when will you make a statement
definitely stating your position in this
matter?"
THAT I can't say. I don't see that
it is necessary just at present, and 1
wish a little time in which to look over
the situation. I shall be guided by
what 1 may learn in the meanwhile"
What about the talk that, If you
come out as a candidate. Senator
Knute Nelson will be compelled to take
a hand in the fight?'
THAT is simple nonsense. Senator
Nelson has been my friend for thirty
years, and 1 do not believe he will do
anything to oppose me. 1t is Senator
Nelson's earnest desire to keep entirely
it, he will have none of it, whether 1
am a candidate or not Don't you be-
lieve word of that story. 1t is not
true"

sion appointed two years ago, with
Charles Francis Adams and Prof. Taus-
sig as members, who preface their sug-
gestions with the admission that ''the
taxation of personal property in the
form of securities and investments is
a failure" while admitting inequality
in the taxing of tangible personally.
Ohio also has had it's commission in
vestigating the conditions, especially
with a view to discover the efficacy of
the Draconian law enacted for the pur-
pose of compelling the disclosure of
concealable personal property. A COM
mission of 20 per cent on the taxes due
on all such property was provided for
the spy who should unearth it, The
in the cities, complete failure, and
denounces it as resulting sin debauch-
ing the l1oral sense, The moral sense
of the community is blunted; it's citi-
zens are made familiar with the man
ner of evasion; they are taught to lie"
New York is also investigating the
question. Its comptroller recommends
the release of all property from state
burdens, charging the latter upon in
direct sources of income, thus virtually
admitting the failure of efforts to as
sess personal estate. A tax reform
association in that state is trying to
get the present legislature to enact
law rcmitting to the counties the Sc
lection of the objects of taxation and
the methods of collection for all local
revenues, reserving to the state the
power to raise revenue in such coun-
ties as adopt the plan, by such means
as it may prescribe. If the suggestion
is adopted, county might center taxa
ton for it's purposes on land or land
values, while collecting taxes for state
use on property prescribed by the state.
In Wisconsin a commission is consider
ing the problem and is to report to the
next legislature. 1t is notable that the
question has reached a point in that
state where the governor felt it neces-
sary to make and publish a very eX-
haustive statement of the sources of
state revenue and the channels Of eX-
penditure.
All these signs indicate gen.
eral condition of unrest and dis
content with present methods, growing
out of a popular recognition not only
of their injustice in operation, but of
the decentralization resulting. It may
be possible that a man who will dodge
his share of the common load, commit.
ting either actual or tacit perjury in
the evasion, will continue to pre-
serve intact his integrity in
other relations, but it is hardly
probable. The law rejects the
proposition with it's motto of falsus
in uno falsus in omnibus, assuming that
the man who will deceive in one thing
will deceive in everything. The chase
after the elusive items of personally
having proved fruitless of good and
fruitful Oh evil, 1t WOulQ seem as IL 1t
might occur to legislators to abandon
the hunt, discard compleXity and seek
some object of universal and necessi-
tous use, incapable of concealment, the
source of all wealth. and lay the bur-
dens on, that, leaving them to be dis
tributed by the natural processes of
trade and exchange.

Nice Montana Politics Suggested.

From the Billings MONTY Gazette
To sum up this whole business, it appears
that the Anaconda Standard, speaking for
Marcus DAILY, is willing to entertain any
kind of fusion proposition; that the Butte
Miner and Helena Independent speaking for
w. A. Clark and the rank and file of De-
mocracy, are opposed to Days scheme; that
the Populists would sooner fuse with the
devil than with the Democrats, and that the
silver Republicans will not enter the Demo-
cratic camp.
Now, wouldn't is be nice for the silver
Republicans and the administration Republi-
cans to bury the Ratchet in the coming cleo
ton and march to victory together?

and will make a close investigation of the
bonds before awarding the contracts
