Battle Of Giants

Cleveland dispatches early in the week
reported that the Oliver Mining com
pany had purchased the boats OF the
American Steel Barge Company and
that the thirty boats Of that fleet
together with the six Lake Superior
Iron Company boats purchased in the
middle OF the summer would be used in
carrying the bulk OF the Carnegie ores
next season. Later developments
proved this report false and that the
boats were purchased by Rockefeller
ana not Carnegie. The former is under
contract TO carry the ore OF the later at
n fixed rate established at the beginning
OF the season. By shrcwd move on
Carncgics past eurly in the spring the
rate was fixed at 60 cents and move
ments on the part OF the mining com
pany that are coming lead Rockefeller
TO believe that Carnegie was preparing
for another bear raid on rates next
spring and TO iorestal him Rockefeller
purchased and leased all the available
boats on the lake. The subsequent
chartering Of ten steamers to carry ore
through next season at rate OF Sl.26
settles the rate and places Rockeriellcr
on top in the fight. This means that
iron ore will sell at $500 per ton more
next year than this.

Immediately after taking their seats

SESSION.
Board of Supervisors met last
Monday to transact business
required by statute for annual
meetings.
WILL REASSESS TAXES.
Tax dodgers will no longer
escape paying their taxes.

Tho Board Of Supervisors for this
county met in the clerks Office Monday
morning and remained in session until
Tuesday evening when the meeting was
adjourned until the twcnty-liith to
allow the eommittee on charge-back
taxes To report.
When the roll was called all OF the
supervisors responded TO the call with
the exception OF Lawrence, OF lIematite
who put in an appearance later. An
order OF business was presented and
adopted after which committee was
appointed on each branch Of work to be
taken up. The county treasurer was on
hand with list OF the taxes which had
been charged back 10y the Auditor
General. The afternoon was taken up
with committee work and when the
session was resumed Tuesday morning
the reports were ready The report Oi
the committee on charge back-taxes
was rejected on the ground that the list
contained numerous errors which neces.
STATED the reconstruction OF the whole
list. Many OF the supervisors felt that
they could not stay here the length oi
time required 10 60 over the list aud Tor
that reason there was a sentiment de-
veloped To let the whole matter drop
when Prosecuting Attorney Byers took
the floor and made an address TO the
board in which he spoke right out from
the shoulder and demanCMi that the
board reassess the taxes. - was fol
lowed by Treasurer MorIarty who
counselled likewise and later in the day
the matter was settled by appointing a
committee To correct the list and make
report To the board on the 25th OF
October.
The next order OF business was the
tax levy and the committee advised the
raising Of the following taxes.

CALL FOR REWARD OF MERIT.

An Indiana correspondent of the Journal
writes an affecting letter asking If either
the national or state government pays a
prize or pension to the parents of triplet
children. He says that he is the father OF
triplets, two girls and a boy, ''all Of the
same age.' and that he needs help. Much
to Its regret the Journal is obliged to in
form him that a short-sighted government
has made no provision. either in the way OF
reward or relief. for parents who suddenly
fad themselves in the position, at once joy

children they don't know hat to do. 1t Is

grounds. Now. II Is well known that the

FRENCH JUDICIAL METHODS.

II the Dreyfus trial had in 1t no other in
terest for American readers than that of
showing "how some things are done" in
France 1t would still hold their closest at
tention. Witnesses, instead of being kept
to the subject in hand by the lawyers in the
case, are allowed to discourse at their own
free will, to indulge In rambling disquisi-
lions on matters having no bearing on the
problem sought to be elucidated and to ex-
press opinions as to the guilt or innocence
of the accused as If opinions rather than
facts were to settle the matter. The pres
ident of the court-martial addresses the wit
nesses in an absurdly stilted way. To the
widow of Henry he said: I'VE have thought,
madame. that from your daily intercourse
with your husband you were, perhaps, in a
position TO give interesting information
about this affair" Witnesses are cross-ex-
amined in a manner to suggest that the
last thing desired is to entangle them or
cause them to contradict themselves. The
judges are represented as being visibIy af-
fected by the hostility of witnesses, even
when there is no testimony to justify the
il-feeling, and to turn toward this or that
witness with dark looks. Even the methods
of Labori, who is described as being a pow
erful cross-examiner. did not. when he was
atkins an active part in the proceedings,

Congressman Often, Of Milwaukee. who is
of German birth and represents a district
in which German-American voters predom-
mate. has written a letter to the chairman
Of q mass meeting of COMMUNICATIONS at
Detroit which was called to protest against
an American alliance with England. Mr..
Often regards the movement as narrow and
iIl-advised. He thinks the United States
should establish closer relations with Eng
land. not indeed under a formal written
alliance. but under a friendly alliance. AS
to the protest against styling the people Of
the United States Anglo-Saxons, he says:
Technically. 1t is true the German-Amer-
leans are not Anglo-Saxons. but in reality
they are. Angio-Saxon simply means a per-
son Of English-Saxon blood. !, as an Amer
lean citizen Of German origin, am proud to
be called or classed with the Anglo-Saxons.
That German-American who is offended at
being called or classed with the Anglo
Saxons. 1t seems to me, denies himself a
large part OF the glory and honor due to
his ace-namely, that the basic blood Of
the three greatest nations of the earth
America. England and Germany-is of Ger
manic origin.

not a hyphenated American, but an Amer
lean.

Many people hope that the report that
General Miles will go to Manila to take
general direction Of military affairs in the
Philippines will prove to be correct. There
is no reason why he should not go and many
reasons why he should. Because he is nomi-
nally in command Of the army it is not
necessary that he should remain In Wash
ington. On the contrary he should be where
he can oversee and direct the most import
ant military movements. When General
Grant was put in command of all the armies
in March, 1864, he did not make Washington
his headquarters, but made them with the
Army of the Potomac, the largest army,
having the most important work to do.
He did not supersede General Meade as
commander of that army, but directed
movements through hat officer and the
commander of the army of the James. By
taking general direction of the military
movemen as the military head of the army
General Miles would in no manner interfere
with his subordinate. General Otis. Fur
thermore, when 10000 men are in the Phil
ippines, sufficient for three corps and the
larger part of the entire army, the officer
of the highest rank should direct their
