The state of Minnesota. through
it's attorney general and governor,
has begun an equity suit in the
United States circuit court against
the Duluth & Iron Range Railroad
company, Walter F. Cobb, Minneap-
oils & St. Cloud Railroad company
and the Great Northern Railway
company.
In January, 1900, Judge Lochren
found that the Duluth & Iron Range
had title to POI, $50 and fraction
acres decided to it by the state under
the act of 1875, and other acts, and
dismissed the bill filed by the state.
The state now claims that by in
advertance and mistake, and by
misrepresentation of counsel on eth =.
err side, an error was committed by
which $4,000 acres of swamp land
selected previously by the state for
the benefit of it's charita bic institu-
tons, was included in the exhibits
of land in issue in the former liti-
cation. The state asks that the de-
cree Of Judge Lochren be held void
as to the lands so previously select
ed by the state for the benefit of
cert ain of its institutions.
HILDS en- FOH STATE AUDITOR
Should Bob Dunn be nominated
for governor two years hence, and
it appears his nomination will be
necessary to preserve the suprem-
acy of the republican party in state
politics, there'll re some one need
ed to fill the state auditors chair.
The Office requires a man who
knows every kink in the tax laws.
There is one man in the state who
does, and he is Odin Halden, the
present auditor of St. Louis county.
If there is one man in the state who
will administer the tax laws without
fear or favor, it's the same Odin,
and his record as auditor of St.Lou-
is county is all that is necessary to
convince any voter that he would
be the right man for the state aud
itor.-North Branch Review.

HAYS POLICY APPROVED.
President Satisfied With Action Thus
far in lsthmian Trouble.

Washington, Aug 23.-Secretary of
State Hay returned from Canton yester-
day with the satisfaction of knowing, as
/. result of his conference with the pres
ident, that Mr. Mckinley fully approves
every step that has been taken by the
state and navy departments In relation
to the unsettled condition of affairs in
Colombia and the surrounding countries.
The task of the administration is a
very difficult one, largely owing to the
disposition of the governments of South
and Central America to resent any ad-
vice from Washington. even when ten
dered in the most friendly spirit They
all want the United States to enforce
the Monroe doctrine, but any interfer-
ence by this government In their quar-
rels among themselves Is liable to lead
to jealousies and misconstruction unless
the matter is handled with the utmost
delicacy.
Mr.. Hay has thus far been able to
avoid arousing any resentment on ths
part of any one of the governments in
volved in the present difficulty. His
tactful policy is to be continued.
American warships are on their way
to preserve the freedom of communica-
ton across the isthmus, to protect
American interests and to serve as Il
standing notice to European govern
ments that they must keep hands off. AT
the same time the good offices of the
United States will be quietly exerted
thru the legations of those countries in
Washington and thru the American rep
resentatives at their capitals to prevent
open war and to bring about the cessa-
| ton Of the guerrilla warfare which Is
being waged on the frontiers of Colon
