THE CITIZEN AND PUBLIC AFFAllS.
Good citizenship requires that a
man should keep an interest in pub
lie affairs. His interest should be
backed by as much understanding
as he can obtain about these affairs.
He needs to cultivate a judicial
mind that he may decide reasona-
bly, on questions presented. When
one hears man say, II vote the
straight ticket every time" or II
never scratch my ticket" one is re-
'mint1ed of the game of Follow my
Leader" or of a flock of sheep 60
ing through gap. ..
While every man may think one
patty is more nearly right than an.
other; while the platform of zone
party appeals more strongly to his
best judgment than that of the 9TH
er, there are frequent questions of
the fitness of candidates for the
place, or question of good policy
in the management of some public
business, or on improvements or
some new idea which may lead
thinking man to judge differently
from his party" A man should
have the courage of his convictions.
He should not fear to express his
honest opinions. Among politicians
party fealty is often regarded az the
highest virtue. In this "foIlow nv
leader" method a man loses his in
dependence and ceases to act upon
his own sense and judgment. With
the good citizen, as with the states
man, principle comes before party.
All the wisdom and virtue ia not
found in any party. Mistakes occur
to all. False, scheming men push
to the front frequently in all par
ties. A man who values his citizen
ship should beware of being led by
them.

WEALTH o. ran 1aox sAxu1s.

The following interesting article
from the pen of c. D. Skillings. il
reproduced from the columns of the
News Tribune, on which paper he
holds a "sit" as staff correspondent:
The rugged iron ranges of Mime
sofa, and more particularly of st.
Louis county, added more than $780,
10000 to the wealth of the country
this year by putting forward to the
receiving ports of the lower lakes
the splendid total of 15,384, 194 gross
tons. .:
The ore was worth that much at
ports and it was worth
about $26,O00.OOO after it was produc.
ed at the mines.
The item of transportation from,
the mines to the lower lake receiv
ing ports crowded $24yO0oO00 pretty
close. About $1l.000,OO0 were paid
in vessel freights and the ore roads
earned a gross amount $12,3O ;355.
The all-rail business is not a large
item, though the Duluth & Iron
Range has shipped 1895 tons that
we're not delivered TO boats.
On arriving at the value of the
ore delivered at Lake Erie or Lake
Michigan ports, the Vermilion ore
is figured at s460. Five million five
hundred thousand tons of Mesaba
ore is 1eckoned at 1925 and the bal
ance at 90. A prominent ore man is
authority for the figures.
The value of the mines to St. Louis
county is in the mining and trans
porting of the product. 1t is the
main support of a score of towns
ranging in size from few score to
10000 people on the two ranges. In
fact, iron ore has attracted and now
supports population of over $1,000
people in St. Lou county. It has
made scores of people here and else
where wealthy through the owner
ship of fees or leases. As a result
of iron being added to the other
wealth in this division of the state,
St. Louis county pays more taxes
than any other county in Minnesota.
In past years, before the United
States Steel company came into ex-
istence. iron mining in all parts of
the Lake Superior region was sub
ject to great huctuation. A year of
great activity might be followed by
one or two of depression. All
branches of the business dependent
on the mining industry were appre-
hensive of every unfavorable factor
that appeared in the iron and steel
world. But the steel corporation
has thus far proven to be just what
was claimed for it at its inception.
It was declared that the corporation
would be in position to control
the situation to such an extent, that
the iron and steel business would
constantly be in a settled and haf.
monious condition, and as result
there would be a steady demand for.
ore, assuring continuous operation
of the mines.
The conservative policy of the
Steel corporation is described by
one Duluth business man az "the2
safety valve of the present prosper
ity in the entire country" Since
the Steel corporation has entered
the field there has been no com
plant about wages, and for the past
two years there has been : scarcity

LAND frauds in western states
have led to the introduction of bills
by Senator Quarles, of Wisconsin,
and Representative Powers, of Mass:
achusetts, repeating the timber and
stone act, the desert land act and
the communication clause of the
homestead act. The frauds are made
possible by violating these lave.
Seventy million acres of public
lands have passedlfrom government
into private control during the last
Eve years. Millions of acres have
been absorbed in the western states
where there has been no correspond.
ing increase in population. Okla
homa and the Dakotas are notable
exceptions, as the immigration of
home~seeters into these states has
been large.

IRON INDUSTRY IN. .Tas sOUTawEsr.

IRON INDUSTRY lN~Ta . SOUGAHEST.
The recent purchase bya Chicago
syndicate of the famous mountain
of iron ore at Llano, Texas is of in.
terest chiefly as the Inauguration
of a new industrial era in thesouth-
west. There is nothing startling in
this requirement of an iron deposit
by group of capitalists; such in
vestments are of 30 common occur
renee in this part of the country as
to excite but slight comment :; But
when capitalists take hold of iron
properties in a section where fuel
has heretofore been too scarce to
warrant any hope of their profitable
development, the fact is worthrnore
than ordinary attention. 1t is said
that the increased attractiveness:a az
an investment of the Texas iron de-
post is due to the discovery of a
way in which iron ore can be smelt-
ed with crude oil az fuel. IF this
can be done economically. the Tex
as oil producers will have another
source of demand near at hand, aud
their state will become the, seat of
an industry that ought to be able to
control the business of the south
west and large portion of the far
west.
There are large deposits OF iron
in California, but no deposits of
coal, and in consequence fuel has
been too costly to enable the own
ers of the iron deposits to work
them 1T q profit. When oil was die.
covered in southern California hope
sprang into existence that per haps
inventive genius might provide
means by which iron could be snelt.
ed with oil instead of coal. If this
has been accomplished, California,
and it's metropolis, San Francisco,
will be immensely benefited. The
smelling of iron near at hand will
increase San Francisco's advantages
az a manufacturing center, and put
her in position to maintain hef~lead
as the chief port of the Pacific coast.
Seattle has been catching up with
rapid strides, and her chances of
taking the lead have seemed good
from, the standpoint of those who
believe that manufacturing enter
prise conduces to greatness in cities.
