Minnesota historical Society

The annual meeting of the Mime
sofa Historical Society will be held in
the Capitol building, St. Paul, on
Monday evening, Jan. 10, 1903. The
public addresses will be given in the

O'Clock. The program includes re-
marks by the president, Hon. Alex
ander Ramsey, and an address on the
History of Education in Minnesota bv

Previous to these addresses to which
the public is invited, the society will
meet at 7:15 O'Clock in it's rooms for
the trans action of business. which will
include the election OF the Executive
Council for the ensuing term of three
years.
The Minnesota Historical Society,
organized in 1849, the same year with
the beginning of Minnesota as q terri
tory, has accumulated library of

rary has l, 402 bound volumes and 675
pamphlets, besides many books in

"A Calamity howier."

elf halt is not called it will not
be ten years more before the ten larg-
est estates will own or control the
business and manufacturing Interests
of this country and the step will then
be but short one to an attempt at
serfdom and open rebellion on the
part OF the common masses. Then woe
betide the fate OF this great republic
Of ours.'
No, dear reader, the above was not
clipped from some crazy populistic
sheet, nor was it taken from an old
speech by Donnelly or Mary Ellen
Lease. 1t was clipped from an edi-
torial in the Litch6eld News Ledger
of this week. That paper is edited by
a republican postmaster, so it must
be good authority. To be sure it is
the kind of talk for which we populists
used to be denounced as anarchists.
But 1t is strictly in style now in the
best circles. The remedy proposed
by Bro. Joubert is perhaps even more
startling than his statement of con-
ditions. He would have a law limit
ing the amount that could be left by
will to any person, and thereby break
up the large estates. Just what dis
posal is to be made of the balance of
the estate is not made clear, but we
hope to see further particulars later
OF. However, the open acknowledge.
ment OF the existence of the danger is
worth more than any amount of pre-
scription for avoiding it. The rem
edy will be found when the people get
aroused sufficiently to demand it, and
these Acknowledgements from repub-
licans who have hitherto been accus-
toned to cry " all is well," will help
greatly to arouse the people.

The Minneapolis Journal is of the
opinion that the Jenkins resolution in
regard to the coal mines is little too
radical, but that it may be of value
anyway by showing the combines the
danger they will invite by disregard
ing the rights of the public.
