be the most attractive division in the
parade, all the members being attired
in natty uniforms of white coats and

the Fusion denomination two years
hence. There is developing a
general discomfort among the var

The House passed the bill in
creasing the tax upon the gross
earnings af railroads from three
to four per cent. The opponents to
the measurer lacked leadership
and did not get an oppostunIty to
side-track the bill as had been
planned. The only argument adj
vanced against the increased tax
was that it was unconstitutional,
but not even the railroads claimed
il was unfair. When compared
with the tax levied in other states
on railroad earnings it is very
reasonable, and when compared
with other taxes in this state four
per cent is exceedingly low. The
railroads have under this bill the
option to be assessed the same as
other property, but they prefer
any reasonable gross earnings tax
to u valuation tax. The Senate
will undoubtley pass the bill and
in that event the revenues from
the railroads ATTAINED by the state
will be increased by nearly S4OO,
600 year.

Representative Foss, of Grant
County, has been laboring as
siduously in the interest of a bill
to avoid double taxation on mortg-
rged property. His plan is to
divide the the tax in a fixed pro
portion between the mortgagor
and MORTGAGE. Mortgages own
ed by non-residents will be taxed
as will mortgages owned by resi-
dents. While the measure is
meritorious in theory it is a quest
ion whether it can be made practi-
cal and operative in our degenerate
ed system of taxation. At all
events the Legislature will make
an honest attempt to perfect this
bill but it is probably a hopeless
undertaking under present con-
ditions. Much good may, how
ever, come from a thorough con-
sideration of such Questions and
lead to better laws in the future.

THE bill now before the Legis-

fifty cents per ton on pig iron
manufactured in Minnesota for a
period Of ten years is attracting
considerable attention. 1t is
claimed by the advocates of this
bill that it will build up an iron in
dustry here at home second to none
in the United States. It's admit
ted by all that a bounty would
tend to establish the manufacture
of iron, but many are reticent in
declaring themselves in favor of
the measure until they have heard

her suffer a terrible attack of pain.
About year ago Mrs. Cushman X Da-
Wis of Minnesota went to Mrs. Mckinley
and begged to, be permitted to prescribe
for her. She had an Indian herb remedy
given to a member of her family by a
Sioux chief. She had seen the remedy used
upon many people with marvellous success.
Mrs. Mckinley began TO take the med
icine. 1t was a tea or decoction, and she
took it faithfully three times 4 day. 1t had
no effect at first, but when she had been
taking the medicine about six weeks she
began to notice a wonderful improvement
in her health
The story went on to say that Mrs. Nc
Kinley was new almost entirely cured.
Besides the iudeicacy of referring 10 TIE
matter in such way, it turns out that
the story is false from beginning to end.
Mrs. Davis gave Mrs. Mckinley no Indian
remedy, and she has taken none. Mrs
Davis last night emphaticaIly denied the
whole story, as far as she was concerned,
to Times reporter.
At the White House no one will dignity
the story with a denial, further than to say
that Mrs. McKinley's health has been i'm
proving steadily for nearly two years past,
ever since President Mckinley was inaug-
urated.
1t is expected that the celebrated In
