THE WILKINSON FUND.

The public wrong of which the family
of the late Maj. Wilkinson are the vic
Tins still remains without remedy. The
pension to which his widow is entitled Is
not Forthcoming, and the danger is still
impending that the lady will lose the
lifetime to leave to her.
The case is one which has called loud
ly for public intervention. The gallant
soldier who was so generally beloved
among our people must not be forgotten.
He died soldiers death, and even in his
death demonstrated the devotion and dis
regard Of self which characterized him
all through his life.
1t is not at all likely that the move
ment for the relief Of Maj WIlkinson's
family will assume. as 1t should, national
proportions. We. here in Minnesota, must
among ourselves raise the testimonial to
his worth which Is universally regarded
as demanded by every consideration Of
national gratitude and personal esteem
The movement had its origin as far from
orr borders as the city of San Francisco
but It's success must depend largely upon
the people of Minnesota, and especially on
the generosity OF the people of these two
cities. In which he was so generally
known and so highly esteemed

mtratlon on the part of those who knew

the man, and whose circumstances may

ANOTHER TAXATION PRoBLE,r

Not very long ago the county commits

victory for the tax dodger, and, in so far
as 1t discourages detective work Of this
character by private persons, it does helm
the tax dodger. But there is another as

looked. and that is-if the courts recog-

and the detection of non-taxed propertv
IN this manner became a regular pursuit
life would very soon become a misery NOT
only for the tax dodger, but for the honest

subjected to the prying investigation OF
some totally irresponsiD, individual

would continually be the victim of tbo
most distasteful prying and spying. True,
some tax dodgers would be caught and
made to pay their taxes, but the honest
taxpayer would be subjected to the same
espionage as the dishonest dodger
This system of Offering a bounty for
the discovery and disclosure of concealed
property IS not a new invention or oriei-
nal with Blue Earth county. The Iowa
legislature at it's present session has had
before it bill to authorize similar agree

commissioners in that state, and has mass

boards had agreed to give tax detectives

efforts. but the legislature has set Il ner
cent as the maximum reward.

for the purpose of avoiding taxation has
become so extensive and notorious that
the legislature is to be asked to enact

cause of the inability of tie assessors to
secure a return of such property for taxa

Drs. o. S. Pine and A. A. Ames held

married seven years, aged thirty-tive
years For years Eyles had been re-

Recently law was passed by congress
providing that the second wives of SOL
diers should not be entitled to pensions
unless the death Of the husband was due
to wounds received during the war The
death certificate Of Eyles states that he
died of pneumonia. and under the law
this would shut out Mrs. Eyles from
further receipt Of her husbands pension.
The autopsy was held at the request Of
Mrs. EyleS to ascertain whether her hus-

WRONG IN PRINCIPLE.

Mayor Gray, OF Minneapolis, has We
Gently passed by the council of that
city. 1t would be more pleasant II
the G o b found itself in fuller
agreement with the Minneapolis city
executive on the grounds which appear
to have dictated his action.
The Minneapolis ordinance Is radically
bad-bad in principle and bad from the
point of view OF public expediency,
Mayor Gray sends back the ordinance
because of certain defects and informali-
ties visible in 1t. We believe he should
have sent 1t back as unworthy Of his
approval because it is clearly In the ma
effect to exclude those among the resi-
dents Of the other city who ride bicycles
from the use of the public thoroughfares
unless they first pay a license fee
The proposed ordinance. as the G o b 9
understands it. originates with the asso-
citation OF Minneapolis wheelmen. 1t ex-
cludes riders of that city who have not
paid license from using the paths with
in the city limits. but it extends the priv
ilege to st. Paul wheelmen who have pur-
chased a cycle tag from our own local
organization, the privilege being recipro-
cal as between the riders of the two cit
les. If this be true, then there is plain
discrimination in favor of St Paul wheel
men, a circumstance of itself which
should have aroused so devoted a child
of Minneapolis as Mayor Gray to the
radically obnoxious character of the pro-
posed regulation.
The ST. Paul wheelmen very properly
refused at the opening of the season to
bind themselves to any such narrow I'M
derstanding OF the rights of bicycle
riders with reference to the use of the
cycle paths. The proposed ordinance will
exclude all creation. outside of St Paul,
from the use of the Minneapolis paths
unless they pay the necessary fee. The
deprivation Is of course not a particu-
larly grfevous one, when one considers
tie extent anu CHARACTER Oh those pains.
But it is none the less unjust. The pub
lie thoroughfares are public property,
and their use should be free and unre-
stricted. If it is proposed to tax the
owners of bicycles, that is another
proposition; but to exclude them from
the use of the cycle paths because they
have not paid fee is clearly unjust
discrimination and against all true pub
lie policy.
The G o b e does not think that any
self-respecting lady or gentleman ought
to be without his cycle tag in this town,
especially in view Of the splendid service
rendered to- the sport by our associa-
ton. But so long as our streets are not
private property, We hope never to see
any such principle sought to be asserted
among us as that which is embodied in
the proposed Minneapolis cycle ordi-
nance. and which Mayor Gray so
strangely ignores in his veto.

is that, while our measure taxes

There have been half a dozen
or more of the leading republi-
cans of Kentucky indicted for
completely in the assassination
of Governor Goebel, among the
number the usurping Governor,
Taylor. It is scarcely possible
that such foul conspiracy
could have been conceived and
carried out without the knowl-
edge and consent of the princi-
pal beneficiary. The fact that
some of those implicated had
pardons for the offence on their
persons when arrested, signed
by Governor Taylor and issued
before any charges were made,
goes to show that he was cog
infant of, if not an active agent
in the assassination.
