ballot originated in New South Wales.
The Torrens land title act, just given
limited application here and not yet
appreciated, is also an Australian pro-
duct. The doctrine of a single land
tax has footing in New Zealand.
Most advanced of all, a movement
the old world is watching, is the COM
pulsory submission to arbitration of
all disputes arising between employ
er and employed and the prohibition
of strikes or lockouts during the ad-
justment. With striking disregard of
theories these latest experimenters
in the Anglo-Saxon problem of self
government adopt the individualistic
or the collectivist theory as the one
or the other seems best to serve the
common purpose. The in%dividualism
OF the voter is strictly guarded by the
secret ballot, while it is entirely IT,
nored in the case of labor disputes.
But then no government, whatever
it's nature, is ever consistent; the.
democracy is often autocratic and the
despotism frequently guards the
rights of individuals.

OLEO COMPLICATIONS.

st. Paul Dispatch: The oleomar.
garine act has been interpreted by
the commissioner of internal revenue.
After it's passage the ants flocked
down to Washington to aid him in
framing such construction of the act
as would make it more stringent.
But the commissioner draws a line
that is bound to make trouble. He
holds that the use Of any ingredient in
the making of oleo which contains an
artificial colloring resembling butter
will subject the product to a tax of
ten cents a pound. AS the makers
of oleo use butter as a large percent
age of the product, and as they buy
butter in the open market, it is diff
ficult to see how they can be held for
the larger tax. The addition of col
oring matter is none of their act. 1t
is probable that the act will be resist
ed, chiefly upon the ground that what
eyer it's %pretense, it is not a evenu
measure, but an oppressive use of
the taxing power to injure one in
dustry for the benefit of another.

the railroads at amounts somewhat
nearer the actual value of their
property than has been customary in
the past. The name of Rosewater
was mentioned merely incidentally as
a hint to the board that some individ-
ual of this state might undertake to
do what the Nebraskan is doing.
There was no intention or attempt to
mix up in the Nebraska fight, Mr..
Pollard's understanding to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
The Gazette feels that it has about
all it can do to attempt to induce the
Montana board to perform what it
considers that body's duty to the peo-
pie without seeking to take on an
other fight in Nebraska. Beside, it
is not familiar with the conditions
obtaining in the case of Nebraska and
the railroads there.
The circular accompanying Mr.. Pol

NO FIGHT,

The Gazette is in receipt of a let
ter, and also a printed circular,
from R. D. Pollard, tax agent of the
Burlington. In the letter Mr.. Pollard
makes mention of In editorial that ap-
peared in The Gazette sometime last
month and in which reference was
made to the fight which Edward Rose

state to pay what he considers a more
just and equitable portion of taxes
than they have been paying hereto.

1t was probably because the title
of doctor of laws has become SO com
mon and has been conferred supon
so many men of late that the Phil.
adelphia Augustinian college has con.
ferred the unusual one of doctor of
Jurisprudence on Grover Cleveland.
There is something more impressive
about the latter title than the former
and more common one and in select
ing the former president as the only
person in the country worthy of bear
ing it, for we are assured that this is
the first time the degree has been
conferred in the United States, the
faculty showed rare good sense and
judgment. Not that Mr.. Cleveland
may be said to be a lawyer of more
than ordinary, or ever of ordinary
ability, but his own fondness for pom
derous expressions and mouthfilling
words makes it peculiarly fitting that
he should enjoy the distinction which
the comforting of the degree gives
him. AS applied to a man of Cleve-
lands physical proportions the title
of simple doctor of law would appear
as a clear case of disregard for the
fitness of things, but when he is dub
bed a doctor of jurisprudence the pro-
portions are observed and due re-
spect is shown for artistic regard of
sybetry.

BIG STAMPEDE FOR GOLD
VALDES DESERTED FOR MIMI
RIVER COUNTRY. VS..
Says PIacers Will Yield From Twenty
Cents to Two Dollars to

Seattle, June 20.-The discovery OF
rich placer diggings on the Mimi
river, Alaska, has caused a stampede
from the Valdes country that sur.
passes anything Of the kind since the
Nome excitement. Valdes is depop.
ulated and stores and saloons are
closed. Horses are bringing exorbit.
ant prices. Many have started out on
foot with only their blankets, pan
and pick. News of the find was
brought to Valdes by M. T. Rowland
and 3. G. Van Brunt. Rowland is a
Montana mining man. He has had
considerable experience in the Yukon
valley and at Nome. He brought with
him a considerable quantity of coarse
gold. Many of the nuggets were as
large as beans. The placers are yield
ing from 20 cents to 81 a pan under
adverse circumstances, and bedrock
is only three feet down. Rowland
says he believes that the Mimi and
Kctzina country will prove to be one
of the richest mining camps in Alas
ka.

new discovery are the richest copper
properties in the world" said Mr..
Rowland, land we are certain that a
railroad will be built to this property.
believe that before the road is huilt

in Alaska will be opened up, and the
railroad will go through the center

CASE OF MISS TAYLOR.

Omaha Bee: Miss Rebecca ]. Tay
lor, who was dismissed about two
weeks ago from the Office of the ad
Jutant general Of the army for public
1y criticising the president and the
course of the army in the Philippines
has attained national .notoriety by
having the matter discussed in con.
gress. Representative Shallenberge1
of this state first called attention to
the dismissal of Miss Taylor by intro.
ducing a resolution in the house call
ing for a detailed report from the Sec
rotary Of war, the democrats claim
ing that the civil service rules had
been violated in the case. This reso-
luton was tabled by the house. Wed
nesday Senator Carmack Of Tennes-
see, who had offered a similar reso-
luton, addressed the senate on the
subject, %contending that the civil serv-
ice law had been f1agrantly violated
in this case, inasmuch as Miss Taylor
had had no charges preferred against
her, O had she been afforded oppor-
tunity to make answer to any charges.
The circumstance shows how ready
the democrats are to seize upon any
thing that seems to promise a little
political capital. The fact is that
there was no violation of the civil
service law or regulations in dismiss
ing Miss Taylor and the democrats
are quite Indifferent to this, except
as it furnishes them a pretext for
charging interference with free
speech. It appears that Miss Taylor
had been persistent in public criti-
cism of the Philippine policy Of the
government for two years and it be-
came a question whether this should
be longer tolerated. It was decided
that her course justified dismissal
and she was let out and will stay out,
at least during the present admins
tration. The civil service law took
a large part of the public service out
cf politics, but Miss Taylor imagined
that she could be in politics and hold
a place hat is out of politics. She
was mistaken and has incurred the
penalty. The democrats can get no
political capital out of the case.

THE ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS.

Standard: When Carter H. Harri.
son was reelected mayor of Chicago
more than a year ago., he was regard
ed as a possible Moses to lead the
democratic party out of the wilder
ness. AS a possibility of that char
acter he has not grown. In a bitter
contest for the craftsmanship of the
Illinois democratic state central com
mittee yesterday he was defeated by
John P. Hopkins, who has held the
office several years. The causes of
the Hopkins-Harriso fight are not a
matter of wide public interest. 1t is
enough to knox tina, Mayor Harri-
son however big a democrat he may
be in Chicago, is not a big enough
democrat to control the party of his
state.
Mr.. Bryan also comes out of yester-
days convention at Springfield with
a loss of prestige. His name was not
mentioned in the resolutions. The
committee on resolutions went out of
it's way to avoid a specific reafirma-
ton of the Kansas City platform. Mr..
Bryan fares no better at
the hands of the Illinois
democrats than he did the other day
in the Indiana democratic state con
vention. This is a decidedly off-year
for Mr.. Bryan.

A case decided at Butte a few days
ago establishes a precedent in a new
director ami shows it.at the giving 81
bonds by certain persons commits
stoned by the state with power and
authority to do certain things is not,
as many seem to think, a mere per-
functory compliance with the law. A
man sued a notary public for dam
ages because the notary had attested
in the usual manner that another
man who appeared before him to &C
knowledge a mortgage on some real
estate was known to him personally
as the person whom he purported to
be. Upon the strength of this ac-
acknowledgement the plaintiff in the
suit loaned a large sum of money.
Subsequently it developed that the
notary did not know the man who had
made the acknowledgment and that
the man was a fraud and had, at the
instance of another, represented him
self as the actual owner of the prop
erty in order that a swindIe might be
perpetrated. The plaintiff won his
suit and the notary. who, by the way,
is a lawyer, was mulcted in a goodly
sum. The bondsmen of the notary are
solvent and the plaintiff stands in a
fair way of securing the amount of
his judgment. .

Tobacco Grower. Pleased.

Tobacco growers are happy over the
prospect Of a vigorous competition with
the American Tobacco company. The
American company went to England to
compete with the Imperial company.
or. in fact, to try to monopolize the
tobacco trade in England, as it has
almost done in this country. Now the
Imperial company returns the compli-
ment and comes oyer here to build fac
tories and put buyers on the market in
competition with the trust. Two large
factories are to be built by the English
men in North Carolina and one in Vir-
ginia. The competition will benefit the
growers of the tobacco crop.-Practical

Children and the Poisonous Plants.
-Four Ohio boys recently ate wild
parsnip, thinking it to be sweet anise.
One died and the others are in q crit
ical condition. Every country child
should know the comparatively few
poisonous plants growing in his vicin-
ity. Boys especially have a disposition
to investigate and taste all sorts Of
plants and fruits. A little care on the
part of parents will often prevent the
making of such fatal mistakes. In
struction in these matters in country
schools would not be out of place.
Specimens obtained from a summer
Saturday in the field or woods would
furnish pupils an interesting and valu-
able object lesson.-Rural New Yorker.
