Col. Bobleter's Regiment Receives Orders
to Leave for Ohickamauga.

J.
As Bobleter's regiment was the first to
be mustered in, the order practically
settles the ultimate destination Of his
command-it will be Cuba, .:and not the
Philippine Islands, as many expected.
It was expected that the troops would
all be loaded yesterday and that in a
few days they would be IN camp at the
national park.
The order is undoubtedly in compli-
ance with Col. Bobleter's wishes. The
field OF action is what he has been itch
ing for, and the troops at Chickamauga
will be the first to see it.
Congress Tawney came home from
Washington last week and in speaking
Of John Lind's enlistment said: ..While
no one will question the honesty Of Mr.
Lind's motive, or his patriotism, never
theless it may prove in the end to be one
of the shrewdest political moves that has
been made in our state politics for many
years. Should the populists and demo-
Gratis nominate him for governor while
he was serving as volunteer IN the war
with Spain he could not prevent it, and
lit would probably be unnecessary for
him to participate in the CAM. is.r. The
fact of his being engaged in the service
would perhaps do him more good than
all the speeches he could make in his
canvass for election"
Mr.. Gooding of Minneapolis Is in re-
ceipt of the following letter. from VIM.
J. Bryan:
II rendered my services tc the pres1-
dent on the day that war was declared,
but have not heard from him in regard
to the matter. My future therefore de-
pends on the action he takes. s.
"Am glad to know that the good work
is going on in Minnesota and that Lind
is gaming IN popularity"
The New York World points out that
while Great Britain and the United
States raise for the general government
about the same amount each year-all
our revenue comes from taxes upon arti-
cles of consumption. Nearly every dol
lar is punishment of somebody fol
using something necessary to life, health
and comfort. And by way Of contrast
the World calls attention to these items
in Great Britain's net income from tax
alton last year:
Inheritance taxes, $75, 200, 900 stamps,
$3s, 100000; and income tax, $50, ,000,-
900. In addition Great Britain raised
in taxes upon imports and in excuses
both levied wholly upon....luxury and
superfuity less than $27O,OOO, 900.
Almost none of her vast revenue came
from the consumption Of necessity and
comfort. s.That is, Great Britain takes
the most from the most able, the least
from the least able, while we take the
least from the most able, the most from
the least able. =
Chas. G. Peterson of Saltwater writes
the Minneapolis Times as follows:
ALLOW me, as citizen of the United
States and Minnesota, to protest against
shelving John Lind as quartermaster Of
], a regiment. There are hundreds Of men
IN Minnesota with two hands who can
serve their country in that capacity just
as we'll as John Lind can with his one
1 hand, and are willing to do Sc. But
there is another battle raging where
! John Lind is wanted to serve his coun.
q try and where there are feW,if any ,others
4 to fill his place. The country, in trou-
blesome times like these, needs soldiers,
4 captains, generals and quartermasters,
but it is as necessary to have q president

trying to free foreign people if we can
not free ourselves from the misrule o1
