Duluth Evening Herald: The Kan

Duluth Evening Herald: The Kan
sas City Star, which is intensely anti
Boer and proEnglish in its sympathies,
says: IAN American who goes to Brit
ish Columbia to engage in mining or
trade finds himself on a plane OF abso-
lutte equality with the subjects of the
crown. He enjoys all the privileges
that are accorded to his English COM
petitors. He is not handicapped, in any
way, by unfair determinations. No such
advantages are found in the Transvaal
by the American Uitlanders. The Boer
government places heavy tax on for
eign capital and enterprise, and with
holds from aliens the rights to which
they are entitled as return for their
service in developing the country.
Granting that the Beers are justified in
running their government to suit them
selves and in resisting the introduction
Of influences which they regard with
hostility and suspicion, even then it is
not quite plain why any person in the
United States should take up the cause
OF so-called republic which is dis
tinctly inhospitable to Americans as
against liberal monarchy which is
friendly to the country and which well
comes Americans to all Of its domin-
friendly to this country and which well
son that is unfortunatc-for its side OF
the case. There is a law in British
Columbia that forbids the mine owners
Of that province to employ aliens in the
operation Of their mines, thus shutting
out Americans. There is no such re-
striction in the Transvaal republic. Men
of all nations are welcomed there and
permitted to work in the gold fields
The Canadian government imposes a
heavy royalty on the gold found in the
Klondike. There is no royalty charged
in the Transvaal. Canadians are per-
mitted to go into the gold fields OF the
United States and take out all the gold
they can find, and not one cent Of roy
atty is charged, but American miners
in the Klondikc must pay a heavy roy
atty to the Canadian government. The
taxes in the Transvaal apply equally to
the Beers and the Uitlanders. II the
total amount paid by the latter is great
err, it is because they have more taxable
property than is owned by the burgh-
crs. Neither have any rights to which
they are entitled been denied to aliens
in the Transvaal. The Uitlandcrs, or
aliens, were accorded the same rights
in the Transvaal that aliens are given in
the United States. But the English
aliens wanted more-they demanded the
right to vote and hold office i'll the
Transvaal without taking the oath Of
allegiance to the Transvaal republic and
assuming the responsibilities OF citizen
ship, including the obligation to take
up arms in defense OF the republic, and
without forswcaring their allegiance to
the British crown. Would the Star favor
granting to aliens the right to vote and
hold office in the United States on SINH
lar terms?

The following letter from Mr.. James
Donaghue to Ex-Gov. John S. Pillsbury
will explain itself:
Hon. John S. Pillsbury, Minneapolis,
Mimi:
Dear Sir-In your esteemed letter OF
Jams "a you declined to attend the pro-
Boer mass meeting of last Sunday for
the all-suf6cient reason that illness ex-
listed in your family. Had you stopped
right there, the committee on invitation
would have felt satisfied with your ex-
PLANTATION for being absent, and I would
not consider it incumbent on me to ad-
dress to you this open letter.
You say that you did not agree with
the committee as to the non-partisan-
ship of the meeting, because you were
informed that ex-Gov. Altgeld, of ILL
nois, zone of the most distinguished ad-
vocates of communism" was to be the
principal speaker. Mr.. Altgeld was not
one OF the speakers. 1t was said he was
to address meeting in South Minneap-
oils on another subject, but he failed to
turn up. Had he come to the city as
announced the committee would have
invited him, not as "a communist" but
as all American citizen of pre-eminent
ability. The committee is not to blame
for the non-appearance of Republicans
at the meeting in an oratorical capacity,
for it invited several leading Republic
ans to preside and speak word for lib
erty in South Africa, but, like yourself,
they all absolutely refused, though some
of them manifested sympathy for the
burghers and wished them success
against British aggression. ..

Notice to investor.

There is now rare chance in
Edmonds county, S. D., for homeseek-
ers and spectators who wish to invest
in cheap lands. Beautiful prairie,
with deep rich soil, handy to market,
can be bought for $500 per acre on
easy terms. Lands no better, only
one county east, are selling for $500
and upwards. And it is safe to predict
the price of the former will double
inside of one year, judging from the
tide in that direction at the present
time.
The increase in this country of two
millions per annum in population, will
soon occupy all the space to the
Missouri River, where wheat oats,
flax, barley and hay are raised in great
luxuriance, when in hands of skillful
farmers. Failures occur only through
ignorance and carelessness.
This season of reported drouth, the
crops are satisfactory where properly
managed. Some damage has been sus-
tanned by the fall rains through bad
stacking of headed grains. This will
be remcdied by substituting the bind
er hereafter, when by better system
of farming, thorough experience and
knowledge of the seasons, in time this
will be made a rich country.
] have list of these lands for sale
given me by the owner, and am pre-
pared to answer all inquiries. One
fare will be given for the round trip
plus $500, and free transportation to
go over the country on arrival. When
u party of two or more is formed, 1
will go along and assist in making
locations for those who wish to
purchase. Address II. Bishop, Cresco,

TROOPS WANTED
Gov. Stone Asked to Send Soldiers
to Luzerne County.
REQUEST is MADE BY THE SHERIFF.
That Omcinl Fears His Ability to
Protect Persons and Property
During Night Marches
of Strikers

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 26.--Sheriff Har-
vey, of Luzerne county, has asked
Gov. Stone for troops because he
cannot guarantee the safety of per-
sons and property during the night
marching of the strikers. The gov
ernor, it is stated here, has the mat
ter under consideration. The sheriff's
request is said to be backed by tele-
grams from a number of private cit
liens of Hazleton.
1t is believed that The sheriff is of
the opinion that the presence of
troops will prevent any further
marching, thus lessening the posi-
bility of serious trouble. Monday
nights march of 300 men from Gran
berry, Tomhicken, Derringer and
Gowen probably FASTENED the action
OF Sheriff Harvey in asking for state
help.
It is learned that the governor,
after deliberation, concluded that
the situation at present in Luzerne
county did not justify the sending
of state troops there, and he will
not call out more troops until, in his
judgment, there is sufficient cause
therefor. He will to-day confer fur
Their with Sheriff Harvey on the sub
ject.
The strikers met after midnight at

Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 26.-Organ-
izer George Harris. of the United

and formed an organization of Eng
disappearing mine workers. He an
nounced that ESQ men had signed the
membership roll. Mr.. Harris made
the following statement:
OF the 5000 mine workers in the Ninth
district (SchuylkilD can safely say that
fully 1900 are now Idle, and by Thursday
evening we feel justified in saying the
tie-up in this district will be complete
We regret very much that the county
authorities were Influenced to call for the
state troops. However, 1t must be ad-
mitted, even by those who are responsible
for their being here, that their appearance
along the streets and on the hillsides has
had the opposite effect to that intended.
The sentiment of the majority of mine
workers who have a drop of Anglo-Saxon
blood In their veins is against being escort
ed to and from their work by soldiers or
deputy sheriffs."

Modern BIacksmithine.

Under the above title, Mr.. John G..
Holmstrom, publishes book of over
200 pages, which is illustrated with
over 30 practical Illustrations. The
paper OH which it is printed is of fine
quality, its typographical appearance
is excellent and it is well and sub
stantially bound and and has copi-
Gus index, as we'll as very correct
likeness of its author.
The first chapter occupies % pages
and is alone worth more than the cost
OF the book. The topics it treats up
on are as follows and the manner in
which they are handled will commend
each topic to thoughtful men. In
opening, tits but natural and proper
that he should speak of the Smith and
the many duties he was called upon to
perform. A contrast of the different
characters of the class are reviewed
under the sub head, "There are Smiths
and Smiths" Another sub division of
the chapter appears under the sub
head "Tntemperance." The manner
in which it is treated ought to appeal
to every one of the profession and its
observance would bring success where
now is failure with sorrow and shame
to his dependents and friends, instan-
ces of which may be found in our own
community. Religion is treated I'M
der another heading, and Incompe-
tency under still another. One subdi-
vision of this first chapter is devoted
to y Modern Guild, in which some of
the whims of the craft are pointcdly
presented. a most excellent subdi-
vision is under the heading "Taxa-
ton will never raise the standard of a
mechanic. /" This subdivision is as
well worthy of men who pride them
selves as statesmen, as Of the humble
mechanics for whom 1t was written.
Its concluding subdivision of this
first chapter is Literature, and an OBJ
servance Of its suggestions are of the
highest Importance not only to the
Smith but to all other trades and pro-
fessions.
The remaining portions of the book
are devoted to the practical part of
the trade, and contains numerous il
Illustrations, as we'll as instruction
about the operation and methods of
doing certain kinds of work and con-
tainS numerous tables and recipes
which to any person is worth far more
than the cost of the book, which is
published by the Alhambra Book Co.,
Chicago, and is sold at s1.OO and at
$1.5O, according to the style Of its
binding.
