Slders. a return game 10 to be played
soon and the interest in the games Is be-
coming tense.
Cook county Is coming to the front,
the scarcity Of timber in other localities
is making the timber Of the county more
valuable and the demand for iron ore 10
making the development OF the deposits
OF valuable ore in the northern part OF
the county moro probable. Last week
we called attention to the difference in
the policies OF the railroads along their
lines, and Of the boat lines here. An
other drawback TO the county and par
ticularly to Grand Marais is the policy
Of the Grand Marais Real Estate aud
Improvement Co. which owns the town
site. It is customary for townsite COM
panies to assist the Town they own and
either give away or sell cheap q limited
number OF lots to those who will build
substan 5ial buildings on them, this plan

that the balance of the property 10 worth
more than the whole was before the
houses were built. Instead OF pursuing
this policy, this company holds all Of it's
lots at an almost prohibitive figure, 80
that only those who have to buy do so.
why 9 change is not made in this we do
not know. A town will be built up at
some place along the shore within few
years and it would seem to us to be q
good plan to have it here as the harbor

nIsFRANCHIsEMENT

With cold-bloOded deliberation the
Legislature OF Maryland, in extnS ses-
sion assembled, has passed laws which
will result in the d.sfranchisement OF
fully $4,000 voters. a large majority
Of whom are Republicans. The result
W.. be that the State will be made
solidly Democratic for many years and
until the colored population can be
educated TO meet the tests required by
this legislation against ill.terates.
It is not surprising that this action
by the Maryland Democrats should
awaken resentment among Republi-
cans. who have labored increasingly for
many years to redeem the State only
10 see the results of their partially
successful efforts nullihed by this ex-
ira session.
Neither is 1t surprising that this
bringing OF extreme Southern meas
ures to the very threshold of the North
should be viewed with alarm by the
national Republican leaders. They
fear an extension OF this system into
other States like Kentucky and West
Virginia, with the result that they will
be taken from the Republican and
doubtful columns and put in the col
umns OF States c6ncededly Democratic.
The result may be that the represen-
tation-in Congress OF such States as
resort to high-handed dsfranchise-
ment will be reduced cowespondingly
but, while that may meet the national
part of it, II will not relieve the Re
publicans OF the States from the evils
growing out OF such unjust Democratic
domination.
