AT the last session of the
legislature a bill was presented
by Representative Connors
which allowed the township TO
deed back TO the state any land
that had remained delinquent
for three years. This land was
then TO be put upon t'lc market
at uniform price ofSl, % per acre
If, NJ the closeof the first year
any remained unsold the price
Of such remainder was reduced
to one dollar If any remained
the next year the price of such
remainder was again reduced
twenty-five cents and so on each
year until il reached the price

SLOWLY but surely those who
were mislead by the free silver
fallicy are coming TO see the
error of their ways and are
returning TO the fold. The last
prodigal TO return is the Repub
lican state central committee OF
Wyoming. AT meeting held
this week the committee decided
by an overwhelming vote to drop
the free silver plank which has
been incorporated into the plat
form OF the party in that state
for the past three years and to
endorse the St. Louis platform.

4 RELIEF NECESSARY.


a number of the large non
resident land holders Of this and
other counties of the state are
refusing TO pay taxes upon por
tions Of their lands with the in.
tention of allowing them TO 90
back to the state. This is the case,
principally, with the pine slash
ings from which the timber has
been taken and, the soil being
unfit for cultivation, the lands
are undesirable for any purpose.
The supervisor must carry
this land upon the tax roll year
after year although there is no
possibility of the tax ever being
paid either TO the township or
county treasurer. The land
being worthless no one wants it
and SO when returned delinquent
il is not purchased and remains
a burden upon the books in the
auditor generals office. An
advertising fee Of forty cents
must be paid each year upon il
to no purpose. The law of 1893
allows township boards TO have
all barren. swamp and worthless
lands looked over by the state
authorities aud if they are found
TO come under the heads cited
they may be decided TO the state
Us state homestead lands. Two
years ago our township board at.
tempted TO get some of this worth
less land off the tax roll of this
township and a state agent was
in this vicinity for two months
looking the land over. The
result was that but.a few unim.
portant descriptions of swamp
land were taken off the hands of
the roll, The agents refused To
take any Of the pine slashings
claiming that they did not come
under the classes named i'm the
law. Ii is obvious that a section
of this slashing may be utterly un-
TIT for any purpose and yet have
a few hemlock or jack pine trees
upon it this preventing its
being taken by the state
The test Of its utility should
be the ability Of the state
to get rid OF it at any price for if
it cannot be sold it surely has no
value and ought not TO be upon
the tax roll.
AS long as this land is carried
upon the roll there will be a
proportion of the taxes that will
not be paid and the funds for
which these taxes are raised will
be short 1t is this fact that is
responsible for q great deal of
the floating debt that is now
current in this county as we'll

ual in q reference which il made
TO our mention Of the costly
attorney fees in the mandamus

II the litigation started by the COVER.
probable, in establishing that the Michi-
gan Central railway company Is not
beyond the reach OF legislative enact
ments designed TO protect the people Of
. the state against It's Arrogance and
lnpacity, the money spent To accom-
plsh this through the courts is well
applied.
If the money has been spent, as
the Journal says it has. in the
protection Of the peoples inter
ests, we agree with that organ.
If, however, it has been spent as
it seeems probable, Judging from
the past history Of Gov. Pin
gree's agitationS, in furnishing a
bill board for a political Pingree
circus, then we can't see where
the application has been well
applied as regards the peoples
interests.
That "he must be a poor souled
wretch indeed who is willing to
submit to injustice rather than
make the effort required TO OBJ
tain relief from il, no matter
what the cost may be. we
also say yes to, but pitiable
indeed is the plight of that
individual who, after having the
scales removed from his eyes and
seeing the deception which is
being practiced upon him in the
full light of reason, still contin-
ues to bunt his head against the
post of demagoguism and en-
deavors TO pursuade his neigh
bors into believing that he is
rational in his actions.
1t is not the bare expense in
CURED that we complain of, but
the fact that the movement has
for its end the selfish motive of
a personal advertisement for its
instigator instead of a genuine
interest i'm the common veal. No
one knows that fact better than
the Mining Journal itself for we
believe its editor TO be Of sound
mind and able TO discern between
the ring of sincerity and the
gratings Of the professional
demagogue. Was that journal
as true to the peoples welfare in
practice as il would have MS
believe it is by profession, it.
would endeayor TO unmask the
deception rather than TO hide it,
In this connection it occurs to
us to remark that the Mining
Journal seems TO be very much
interested in the Republican
gubernatorial campaign just at
present Is il force of habit or
design that loads our worthy
contemporary TO continually
