Estimates Were Small.

I Tired OF waiting for an explanation
from Mr.. Dunn. some Of his newspa-
per apologists have undertaken to de-
fend him against the charge of fall
ing to recover the statutory settle
ments on trespass. The Crookston
Times says the compromise settle
ments secured more than the state
could have recovered by lawsuits. be-
cause complaints against trespassers
would contain estimates Of damage
rather in excess Of what might be
proved to be the actual damage"
Just the reverse is true, as the rec
ords show. The basis of those settle
ments was the estimate of the state
cruisers as to quantity and value Of
the timber taken. 1t is an acknoWl-
edged fact that cruisers estimates are
always much lower than the subse-
quent scale, and as to their appraisal
Of value, the land sale records show
that timber sold at public sales gen
orally brought twice the price pei
thousand fixed by the cruiser. When
settlements were made on this basis
the trespasser was getting his tim
Der cheaper than he could at public
sale, even If detected in the trespass
And he always ran the chance Of get
ting it for nothing.
If the law had always been en-.
forced as it reads, trespassing would
long ago have ceased to be popular
and profitable.

NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK
Grand Forks Herald.

Congressman Spalding was not afraid to
speak out in the Fargo convention and say
what he thought about the tariff question.
He stated that he believed the tariff
should be reduced. There has been too
much straddling done by republicans on
the tariff question. Speakers are fond Of
stating that they are in favor of revi-
sion Of the tariff when it appears that it
needs revision. So is everybody. At least,
no one could be found who would say that
he was not in favor Of revision If needed.
But Is revision needed now2 That is the
question. If we believe no revision Is
needed, let us say So There is nothing to
be ashamed of in this. That was the posi-
ton taken by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, and
the country would have respected him
more had he stood on that statement In
stead Of being frightened into an ex-
PLANTATION that he did not mean what he
said. Mr.. Spalding believes that in some
directions the tariff should be lowered
and he says so. He is to be commended
for his frankness. The position which he
takes Is that Of nine men out of ten In
western states. That was the sentiment
Of the country in 1892. and republican
leaders failed to heed it. The result was
the transfer of power to the democrats,
and we all know what they did to the
tariff. And some Of the republican leaders
are playing with fire to-day, just as they
did then.

The Cleveland Possibility.

1t may be that Tammany is only
using Cleveland's name to kill off
Parker, hoping afterward to squeeze
Mcclellan thru, but there is good
evidence that many eastern democrats
really hope to press their old leader
into the service. The east and south
would go to him without any protest
If their various favorite sons were
seen to be impossible.
A live question with the Cleveland
synpathizers is the ex-president's at
titude toward another nomination.
He has declined it with several de-
grees of emphasis, and in language
which Is usually taken as final. But
1t is pointed out that in 1892 he made
an even more emphatic announcement
that he would not be a candidate. II
is also noted that personal friends OF
Mr.. Cleveland, who would respect q
tip from him, are quietly but assidu-
ously fostering Cleveland sentiment

Pure Goods practicable. .

In the old days of homemade can
ned fruits and jams, which are some
times seen even. now upon the tables
Of farmers or, Of rich and aristocratic
city families, housewives never COM
planned because they had no glucose,
aniline dyes or artificial preservatives
to assist in their operations.
It remained for the modern manu-
facturer to resist pure food laws with
the argument that it is not practicable
to put up fruit without glucose or
some artificial preservative, and that
"the demands of commerce" require
an artificial color. The improved
methods Of great canning plants do
not seem to have found a way to pre-
serve the pure fruit with pure sugar.
However, the jellies and jams that
mother used to make have been in
dorsed by high authority. The COM
mission appointed by the secretary of
agriculture to fix national standards
of purity for preserved fruits, reports
that it is entirely practicable" to
make such articles out Of fruit and
sugar, without glucose, artificial col
oring or chemical preservatives. They
also report that there is a growing
demand for the pure preparations,
and favor a law requiring the names
Of all the ingredients to go on each
label.
Let us hope that the authorities
will teach their simple methods to
these ignorant manufacturers, and
that when they have all learned the
lesson congress will pass a label law
which will make them display their
| wares under true colors-still better
| with no colors at all.

Not a Business Disturbing Cam
paign.

In one very important respect the
will differ from those Of recent years
the currency question is not in
volved and Is not likely to be brought
up. This means that there is to be
no such disturbing effect upon bust
ness as was the case in the two Bryan
campaigns or in the Cleveland cam
paigns, when free trade was the scare.
The coming fight is, in fact, without
any issues that will in any way COM
pare in Importance with those fought
over not very long ago, and the cleo
ton should be carried thru without
any very serious disturbance to gen
eral business.
This is a good thing to remember,
now that talk OF hesitation on account
of the election is increasing.
The state platforms Of a presiden-
tial year are a pretty good guide
Already about one-half of the states
have put themselves on record, and
thru all the declarations there is q
tone of conservatism and an utter alb
sence Of radicalism. Of course it is
too early to theorize much about this
matter, when the candidates have MOI

President Roosevelt has had laborious
time deciding among eager competitors
upon four delegates to the convention to
second the speech of Governor Black
putting him in nomination. Among the
four is Joseph Cotton Of Duluth, Mimi,
described in Washington dispatch as
identified with the Standard Oil COM
pany and the United States Steel cor
poration.' Indeed, Attorney General
Knox was correct and this administra-
ton is not running amuck'' among the
Observation-Disclosures Record (dem.).

of friendship for Roosevelt it was which

MINNESOTA POLITICS
Hearst Men Have Nothing Against Lind,
5 Except That He Cannot Go to the Ma
tIonai Conventional. D. Gray Is Still
an Avowed Collins Man-cotton OFF,
cialy Announced for Speech.

j 8 2 .
The local Hearst supporters are the
first to declare that the victory in Henne-
pin county which they are claiming does
not mean any menace to Congressman
John Lind. 1t remains to be seen what
their attitude will be later on, but they do
not charge Mr.. Lind with any undue ac-
tivity against Hearst, and the anger
aroused by his first interview has been
dissipated. Victory has wonderful effect
in sweetening tempers, and no doubt the
Hearst men feel kind1ier toward Lind
than if they had been defeated. Of
course, they will not stand for him as a
delegate to the ST. Louis convention, and
if he is left off the delegation it will do
some damage to his prestige. That will
not do him any particular harm, however,
among the republican voters whose
suffrages Mr.. Lind will ask this fall
The Brainerd Dispatch rises to make a
correction, in the following:
The cry of she Collins followers that Jim Hill
is supporter of r. G. Dunn for governor is
false, Mrs. Hill is democrat and will support
the democratic nominee, whoever he is.
That is particularly good, in view OF
Mr.. Dunn's interview quoting Mr.. Hill as
anxious to do something to help Bob,
and giving him his best wishes Mr.
Hills acknowledged contributions to re.
leave him In very good standing as

ways an Erie man.

T. w. Lee, general passenger agent

line Of business. Still a young man,
for he was born in '58, his experience

road field and for a number of years
operated the electric key which COW

to train dispatches, he blossomed out
as ticket agent for the old historic
railroad at that station

seen most of the various kinds Of rail-
road service.
Mr.. Lee is considered one of the
