FORFEITED TAX MUUDTE

The county officers are beginning
to realize in what mix-uD the de-
Cisions of the supreme court have
left forfeited tax matters. With the
law Of 1897 declared void and the
law Of 1899 upheld with the addition
of a sixty days notice, it will take
some little time to straighten mat
ters out
County Auditor Halden left Tues
day for St. Paul, says the Herald, to
attend a meeting of the auditors
association of the state. While in
St. Paul he will consult with the
state auditor and other state officers
On the condition of ST. Louis county
tax matters and probably get some
advice as to the manner in which
he shall treat them.
In all probability the county, I'M
der the advice of County Attorney
Phelps, will simplify matters not a
little by it's treatment of the forfeit
ed tax sale of 1899, held under the
void 1897 law. This is to treat that
sale as not necessarily void, though
vOidablc. Under the decision of the
supreme court all sales under it are
probably void, but so long as no one
objects to them they are as good as
though they were not void. In cas-
es where owners bought in their
own property there is no one but
the county to raise complaint, and
| if the county does not do it the mat
ter will stand as it was. Where the
purchase was made by others than
the owners the latter have right
to object and undoubtedly will OBJ
jcct. SO the purchasers other thar,
the fee owners will call for thei,
money back, and when they get the
money back the original judgments
will go on the property, SO if any
body wants the property they viii
have to pay more than enough fol
it in taxes to repay the county for
what it has paid out.
There is a possibility that the
county may not be called upon fol
very much refunding. The law Of
1881 was declared void, and not {
single application was made to the
county to refund money paid fol
property at the sale.

SENAIOR TONNES EMOLUMENTS.

SENAIOE TONNES EMOLUMENTS
The recent senatorial appointment
rendered to Hon. Chas. A. Towne
carries with it a few erno1uments
aside from the honor of being thus
designated as the acknowledged
leader of the Minnesota democracy.
Although senator for possibly a
short time only the appointment of
Mr.. TOwne carries with it lifelong
honor as we'll as good compensa-
ton. For the remainder of his life
the distinguished Duluthian will
have the freedom of the floor of the
upper house, an honor accorded
only those who have Deen member
of the senate. Frequently distin-
guished persons are admitted to the
floor of the upper house, but the
practice is not SO prevalenta as in the
lower house, where the representa-
tives make it common practice to
have intimate friends as their guests
on the floor of the house while in
session.
In the way of compensation Mr..
Towne, though he may only serve
for month, will receive senator's
salary of 5000 year. This would
hold good if he served but a day
Besides the regular compensation
Mr.. Towne will be entitled to nearly
$4,000 additional for mileage, station.

A TEAPOT TEMPEST.

1t makes very little difference who IS

NOBODY VIII be able to strengthen the
ticket materially. 1t will be essentially
Mckinley ticket and 1t will stand for
MclNinleyism, and that whether Long.
Dolliver. Roosevelt, Fairbanks or Bliss
be the tail of the kite. There is no get
ting away from Mckinley: there is no
bracing Mckinley. His record Is writ
large and indelible. Roosevelt. nor
anybody else. can help Mckinley or i'm
prove the SAVIOR of McKinleylsm.
McKinleyism Is a curious compound
OF servility and turbulence; of contempt
for the people and of quaking fear of
them; of cheap politics and lofty pre-
tensions to virtue; of the gospel of
loot and the gospel OF philanthropy; of
moral maXims and most immoral deeds.
1T lays claim to the good that has be-
fallen by accident and disc,aims the
evil that has resulted from its own
weakness and laundering 1t has the
contempt Of millions. the confidence OF
none. Such is McKinleysm. 1t is a
new element in American politics-and
vicious and dangerous beyond all prece-
dent.
Let the Republican party write what
soever 1t choose in it's platform and
name whomsoever ii please along with
Mckinley. yet will McKineyism be the
issue. He is the man of whom his adj
mirers are wont to say, The means
we'll" because he does so i'll. 1t is an
acknowledgment that he is not a free
agent; that he does not direct the desti-
mics of the Republic. but that Influences
direct him. This has come to pass dur
ing first term. when Mckinley looked
forward to recollection. Men Will ask
themselves. ana may well ask them
selves. what will happen should he be
given second Germ? Can anybody
name any previous occupant of the
White House who was SO little master
OF himself as Mr. Mckinley?
The hullabaloo at Philadelphia over
second place on the ticket was the
mcrest tempteNt in a teapot. IIanna
and Plat were in dead earnest because
the personal prestige of each was at
stake. That was all there was in it.
The rest are the verieet pawns on the
board. The Republican party has final
ly arrived at is logical deStination-th
pocket of a boss. No wonder Roosevelt
did not want the nom,nation. No man
could accept 1T without some sacrifice
OF self-respect Roosevelt has kept
himself fairly clean. as cleanliness goes
in politics. No man can keep clean in
close relations with Mckinleyism. The
campaign. the ticker. the platform,
will all take their color from McKin-
ley and his four years OF subscrviency
to the men who bought his election in
1895. The American people can forgive

1t has been the traditional policy of
the United States to treat China as a
friendly and an independent nation. 1t
has regarded the preservation of Chi
nese autonomy as desirable and has re-
garded with disfavor the encroachment
of foreign powers. 1t excluded the Chi
ncse as immigrants. but beyond that
has treated the Celestial Empire with
more uniform consideration than has
any other Power. 1t will. apparently. be
compelled to depart from this policy by
the developments now in progress. 1t
is impossible to maintain relations with
any alleged government that does not
respect the sanctity of legati lions, and
that closes the avenues of communica-
ton between foreign representatives
and their respective countries. The

Dowager that a few days would settle
the fate of China, was a discerning

THE TOWNSEND DECISION.
Chicago Record.)

The issue presented to Judge Town
send was not the main one which the
courts will ultimately be called upon
to decide. An importer demanded free
entrance for tobacco brought to the
United States from Porto Rico on June
6. 1899. This was after the ratification
of the peace treaty. but before Con-
gress had iegislated for the island. The
Supreme Court in the California case
decided that the general tariff laws of
Congress applied at once to annexed
territory. even before the territory had
been created collection district by
Congress. The more important ques-
tion is, as to whether Congress. when it
leg!slates for Porto Rico, must make
the duties for that island uniform with
those in the United States proper. 1t
is to be hoped that this issue, which is
not involved in the Goetz case, will be
presented to the Supreme Court for q
decisive answer as speedily as possible.

FOWLS AS FARM HANDS.
Savannah NeMsl

In some parts of Tennessee the cotton
fields are said to be overrun with
grasshoppers. To meet the emergency
the farmers are buying all of the tur-
keys they can get and turning them
loose upon the farms. The turkey has
n ravenous appetite, and nothing seems
to tickle his palate better than a grass
hopper. One turkey. 1t is said, will eat
upwards of a pint of grasshoppers
every day. The turkey, however. Is
not the only fowl that farmers find
useful in their cotton fields. The goose
in some sections occupies the position
of a regular farm worker, pulling and
eating the grass from among the grow

TAXES AND CIVIC VIRTUES.

We find in the Washington Post,
q hand-saw. a most remarkable tribute
to the Louisiana sugar planter and
somewhat odd diagnosis of civic virtue.
Speaking of the seating OF the LILLY
white" delegation from Louisiana by
the philadelphia convention, the Post
says:
1T has long been known-apparently
to every one outside of the Republican
bosses-that Louisiana Is logically a
protection State, and that under q dis
pensation Of ordinary common sense
1t would move promptly into the Re-
publican column. The sugar growers
of the State represent nearly all of Its
substance and responsibility. They
pay four-fifths of its taxes. They
stand for its highest intelligence and
civic virtue"
In the absence of Lousiana's returns,
far be 1t from US to question the state
ment that the sugar planters pay
four-fifths of its taxes" We should
not do more than gently hint that
little actual proof in the premises
would be grateful. What most par
ticularly impresses and awes us is the
assertion that the sugar planters of
the State have a practical monopoly
Of its "civic virtue" responsibility"
"highest intelligence and other inesti-
mable boons. qualities which have
hitherto been barred from the service
of the Republican party through the
Grass stupidity of national Republican
bosses.
We have no purpose to run counter
to the current fashion-of which the
Post Is plainly n devotee-of consult
ing tax lists and assessors, returns as
indexes of the civic virtue of COM
munity; let the bland implication
that the virtue and the tax are always
in direct proportion pass for the time
being. 1t Is to the doctrine that the
man who supports political policy
because 1t benefits him at the expense
of his fellow citizens is a model of
civic virtue-it Is 10 this that we give
our meek and quavering dissent. The
Republican policy of protection puts
money in the pocket of the sugar
planter therefore the sugar planter is
Republican. That is perhaps natu-
ral' tnat 1T is n mark of tranScendent
civic virtue is far from apparent.
The Lilly whites" despite Mr..
Hanna, have been recognized by the
National Republican organization
We shall see whether they will be able
to swing Louisiana-as we'll as their
hitherto houted "civc virtue"-into
the Republican column. Likewise an
observant South will take occasion to
note whether the "Lilly-whites" live
up to their professions and their
avowed purpose not to cSter to the
negro vote. The attempt to capture
Louisiana with an army OF black
guards onicered by gentlemen" re-
Gently terminated in a most ludcrous
flasco. We shall see what the Lilly
whites with their monopoly of civic
virtue and high intelligence" will
be able to accomplish. The prediction
is free that they will court the negro

sors and that their discontinue will
