A valet-de-chambre has recently
been introduced into James j. HILLS
Service. The railroad king had pre-
vious to the engagement of this valet,
a powerful Scotchman who insists
upon obedience to orders-been ac-
customed, upon rolling out of bed in
the morning, to don any old thing
within reach, ofttimes jumping into
pants which bagged at the knees and
we're frayed at the bottoms. Then,
again, he would rush off to banquet
with tangles in his whiskers and a
striped sack coat upon his back. Mr..
Hill is very partial to clothes of
striped pattern as they remind him of
parallel and competing lines. It is
presumed that Mrs. Hill took notice
of Mr.. Hills carelessness in dressing
and persuaded him to hire d valet
de-chambre. The result is that Mr..
Hills wardrobe is now filled with
raiment suited for every occasion and
the left-offs have been donated to
Russell Sage, an impecunious friend
of his.

DEM4GOGICLSENSIBLE.

While addressing the hardware
dealers convention in Minneapolis.
last Thursday Gov. Johnson is
quoted III the Tribune as saying: ~
The hardware men speak strongly
against the catalogue question. I
wish that 1 could propose solution
which would put stop to it. What
| right has a Chicago house Or New
York house to come into our state and
do business at the expense of those
who have invested their money and
experience in home industries? There
ought to be some remedy, and the
government could not greatly err if it
passed legislation putting an absolute
stop to the practice.
Gov. johnson knows full we'll that
legislation, either by the state or ma
tional government, to restrain or re-
strict the catalogue houses would be
unconstitutional. The catalogue
houses of New York and Chicago
have the same right to sell goods and
merchandise direct to the consumer
as the wholesalers of those cities
have to sell to merchants in st. Paul,
Minneapolis and the cities and vii
lagos of the state. Gov. johnson is
guilty of demagogism when he talks
of ''legislation putting an absolute
stop to the. practice. /" That part of
the governors talk devoted to taxa
ton was sensible, and we heartily agree
with him when he says of remedial tax
legislation: = "
"It will be fought by the corpora
tons and the larger financial centers
because it will hurt ,them,s See that
the member who represents your dis
trict is pledged to It's support

the large middle classes, are paying
an unjust proportion of the taxes,

classes sit in the background and en-

HOY PREVENT 1T:

The Great Northern railway is re-
ported to have sold to the steel, trust
it's mineral lands in the Messaba
range for the astounding sum of $500,
100000. That this land should have
been taken from the people could only
have been the result of a great: moral
crime. Nor is the crime any the less
because it has been committed under
cover of the law. It is an outra ge
upon the people of Minnesota that
these rapacious corporations should
be permitted to divide between them
selves the mineral wealth of the state.
People have been despoi1ed Of their
heritage in order that the power OF
great corporations to further Cypress
them may be increased. st. Paul Cor.
Mortified News.
Several years ago, as we under
stand it. Mr.. J. j. Hill bought a tract
of timber land and logging railroad
located in St. Louis county from a
Michigan firm. The land was bought
for its timber. The soil itself was not
considered valuable. The logging
railroad was improved and extended
until it has become valuable link in
the Great Northern system. Had the
Michigan parties ever dreamt that the
land contained mineral deposits OF
great value they certainly would moi
have parted with the fee to the same for
nominal consideration. The Great
Northern railroad never had a. land
grant n St. Louis county either from
the state or the nation. Mr.. Hill sim.
ply did what any other citizen had a
right to do if he had the price bought
the tract and7paid for it, The state
never owned Or claimed to own a foot
of the land in question. It is "'oc, only
very recently that the land was known
to contain immense deposits of valu.
able iron ore. The taxing officers oil
st. Louis county and the State Board
of Equalization should see to it thai
these valuable lands are assessed sc
as to bear a proportionate share Of
the burdens of taxation. -

JEALOUS OF DULUTH.
The Business Hogs of the Twin Cities Have
No Love for Duluth or North

ern Minnesota.
The fact that the Duluth, Virginia
& Winnipeg railroad is to build dur
ing the coming summer an extension
giving this city an air line to Winni-
peg has excited some anxiety in St.
Paul and Minneapolis.
It is pointed out and reiterated by
twin city papers that the new line will
give Duluth wholesale houses a great
advantage, and that twin city whole
salers, to reach the country opened
up, must ship through Duluth or
around by Winnipeg. It is proposed
that this calamity be averted by
building branches north from the
Great Northern or Northern Pacific
lines west of Duluth. and thus cut off
the business referred to from this
city. -. s..~.
It begins to be clear that St. Paul
and Minneapolis fear Duluth. For
this they have reaosn in business
way. No one can object 70 any fair
efforts put forth by any city to protect
or increase it's trade, and the business
men of Duluth will never find fault
with fair competition.
In the recent past, however, efforts
put forth by the commercial bodies of
the twin cities have been unfair.
They are aware that Duluth, fighting
on equal terms, will control the bust
ness of Northern Minnesota With
this in view they have lately ap-
proved of unjust and malicious at
tacks on the resources of the better
half of the state. They have sought
to check it's development by various
hampering schemes invented by St.
Paul and Washington bureaus. They
have done these things mainly to
check the progress of this city until
their own business position should be
invulnerable.
The present outlook is that these
efforts to decry and depreciate the
north may be abandoned and that bust
ness interests in the twin cities will
give aid in it's development.
By all means let the lines, sug-
gested for the purpose of cutting off
Duluth, be built. The city may we'll
take it's chances in open competition.
Let the north be gridironed with
railroads, and every mile of track laid
anywhere north of the falls of Mime
haha will be more potential in extend
ing business here at Duluth than at
any other place.--Duluth News-Trib-

The last time he got it back five years

He has never seen that dollar since, nor

That dollar bill will never pay any
