Frank e. Searle Chairman.

1t is expected that the Republican
Sixth district committee will be an
nounced this week. G. S. Benson, of
ST. Cloud, who was chairman of the
late Republican congressional conven-
tion, has the appointing of the COM
mittee. There has been more or less
gossip of late concerning the chair
manship, but it is expected that
Frank e. Searle will be the man. 1t
is known that Congressman Morris
has requested Mr.. Searle to take
charge of his campaign, but it re-
mains for him to accept. Mr.. Searle
has taken the matter under consider
alton for a few days. us it is some
thing involving much time and hard
work as we'll as business sacrifices. 1t
seemed to be the opinion in Republi-
can circles, however, that Mr.. Searle
will accept. William Getty is said to
have been selected as the st. Louis
county member of the congressional
committee.
Mr.. Searle is good man and will in
all probability conduct as successful a
campaign as did his predecessor, Lee
Wilcutts who is recognized as one of
the shrewdest and most effective cam
paigners in the northwest.

Important to Settlers.

A number of important and desir.
able amendments to the land laws OF
the congress, for the benefit of in
tending settlers. The most import
ant, perhaps, was the free homestead
act. allowing the entry of land on
Indian reservations that have been
opened for settlement, without the
payment of the S1.25 an acre formerly
required. Details of this act have
been published. Another very i'm
portant law, on which the Duluth
land office has but recently received
instructions, is that permitting Sec
ond homestead entries.
1t provides that where person has
made homestead entry and COM
muted, that is to say, paid the gov
eminent at the rate of S1.25 or $3.50
per acre, according to whether it is
minimum or double minimum land,
after fourteen months from the date
of filing he is entitled to the benefit
of the homestead laws again, as
though the former entry had not been
made, But on his second entry he
cannot commute, but must live the
entire five years on the land If he
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-08-10

wishes to acquire it. The law also
provides that where a person has
made homestead entry, but from
any cause has lost or forfeited the
same, he may make another entry.
The law doubtless will be of create
assistance to many that through mis-
fortune have forfeited their first en-
tries, but it would appear that it
gives an advantage to those who had !.
cash to commute, by allowing them
to make another entry, that it does
not confer on those who could or did
not commute, but lived on their
homestead the prescribed five years.
But no matter how framed nearly
all laws relating to property are taken
advantage of, and as long as a fair
proportion of the people are benefited
by them, the main end is served.
The Duluth land Office officials re-
port that some few applications have
been received by those wishing to get
the benefit of the amendment, but it
is probable that when the people be-
come generally familiar with its pro-
visions there will be a large increase /.
in the applications.

"Court on Wheels"

The peripatetic tours of the dis
trict court for the purpose of issuing
naturalization papers have been fin
ished for this year at least. There
have been 1,069 persons naturalized at
places otherthan the court house at
Duluth and with those naturalized at
the latter place, the total number Of
final papers granted during the past
two months cannot be much less than
1880. A very large proportion Of
these have been taken with Il view to-
exercising the elective franchise next
November and it is therefore fair to
assume that ST. Louis county win
show a large increase in votes to be,
cast this year at the general election.
There was only one trip in which
the result appeared to be inadequate
to the time expended and that was
Judge Cant's journey to Mesaba and
Mckinley. At the former place only
six were naturalized and being called
from there to Mckinley by a telegram
stating there were Is persons wishing
to be naturalized, Judge Cant on pre-
ceeding there found just seven. This
experience has about decided the
judges in future to lay out their timer
airy and not vary from it. disregarding
any requests like those received this
year from Mesaba and Mckinley.

Four years ago every street
corner was the stamping ground
for free silver orators, and every
such orator could command an
audience. The Democratic arty
was in power then and working
men had nothing else to do but
stand on the corners and listen to
the volunteer expounders of the
Democratic faith. This year,
after three years of Republican
rule, the working men are too
busy to turn out and listen to these
sidewalk missionaries. In 1898
Duluth street corners was crowded
every evening with unemployed
men listening to free silver argu-
ments, ard the only men in the
crowd on salary were those who
were paid by the Democratic COM
mittee to 90 there and talk free
silver. This year the crowd in
the park consists, for the greater
part, of servant girls out for an
airing, and working men taking
their evenings rest. 1t is the
difference between Democracy and
Republicanism; the difference be-
tween hard times and good times,
the difference between high wages
and no wages.

The northwestern farmer is
much more interested in the CUES
ton of free homes than he is in
that of free silver. The Republi-
can party has always led in the
matter of encouraging actual
settlement of the public domain
and securing homes for those
American citizens who desire to
cultivate the soil. Every free
homestead act that has been prac-
tical in its operation and of direct
BENEFIT to the actual settler has
had It's conception and operation
in Republican minds and hands.
Senator Nelson and Congressman
Eddy have been particularly &C
tive in pushing various free home
stead measures, and the whole
Republican delegation from Min
nesota has always stood as an ac-
tive champion Of such measures.

PRESIDENT McKINLEY's course
in the matter of the Chinese
trouble has been such as to COM
mand the approval and admiration
of the people of this country, and
of the statesmen of Europe as
well. He has not permitted HIM
self to be misled by sensational
rumors, and has held to the even
tenor of his way, taking nothing
for granted, and acting only with
a view to protecting American in
terests and American citizens.
The opposition press has been
completely disarmed by his course,
and is left without criticism. He
has been firm without being OBJ
stinate, and diplomatic without
being cowardly. In the Chinese
middle, as in the affair with Spain,
the president has shown that he
has clear conception of his duties
as an executive without ignoring
his instincts as a man. The tricky
Chinese have been given to under
stand that they cannot delude this
gov eminent with any false pre-
lenses, and that before any of
their propositions will be consider
ed they must be accompanied by
substantial evidences of good faith.
If great international war should
follow, it will be in spite, of, rath-
ier than because of the course
which the President has taken.
He has simply demanded that
American citizens and representa-
tfyes ofethe government be res
pected in their several positions,
and their lives and property made
safe. He could not have done
less without sacrificing the inter-
ests of the nation and lowering its
dignity; he has not done more be-
cause it was not necessary.

THE position of Mr.. Bryan and
his followers upon the question OF
expansion is certainly ludicrous
one. 1t has been repeatedly
pointed out that it was due to Mr.,
Bryan's personal intervention that,
the Democrats in congress con-
sented to the ratification of the
treaty which annexed the Philip
pines and Puerto Rico. Having
given his unqualified endorsement
to this treaty and accepted itspro-
visions in as public and official a
way as it was possible for him to
do, Mr.. Bryan now says, through
his spokesman, that if elected
president he would nullify the
treaty and abandon the territory
acquired by the act of annexation.
Throughout the states where the
spirit of expansion is most pro
nounced, Mr.. Bryan and his man
ayers seek to evade the question OF
expansion entirely land stick to the
question of free silver. In certain
portions of the East where, ifany-
where, there IS opposition to ex.
pansion, and where the opposition
to free silver is still more acute
and pronounced, the Democratic
plan is to evade the issue of free
silver and come out strong agains
