Ever since tho pa1nze OF tho act Of

As the title Of the rzdlnad has been

act Of 1895. This cleared the way for
a settlement Of the Question. and Gov.

Strike Broken,

Hibbing-While no reports of trou
bic are sent to the governors office
from the iron range, and the con-
stantly increasing number of men re-
turning to work seems to indicate that
the strike is broken, its effect will be
seen in the next balance sheet of the
state, according to State Auditor s..
G.. Iverson. He expects that the re-
ceipts from royalties on the ore taken
from the state lands will be decreased
to some extent owing to the idleness
of the mines for several weeks during
the season, which is none too long at
best in the open pit mines. It is feared
that the mines will not be in full oper-
alton and turning out the average pro-
duct for few weeks. and as the roy
alties are on the tons of ore taken
from the mines the receipts from this
source undoubtedly will be somewhat
less than the amount anticipated.

Nevertheless, there are MANY
Southern people who steadily refuse
to believe that the negro has any
wholesome future before him, and
some Of them even write communi-

of the race; and there are mon of

and it the same communities without
inviting race war on the one hand
or amalgamation on the other, and
that one or the other Of these con-
tlngencies can only be averted by
deportation to some country or ter
ritory where the negro can have cv-
crything his own way. Moreover,
there are to be found individual in
stances where the assertion is made
that the negro is going backward in
stead Of forward; but individual in
stances of this kind are worth no
more than the individuals themselves.
In such eases you cannot argue from
the particular to the general without
doing wholesale injustice, for the
facts arc all the other way.

this remains to be seen. It has not
failed to respond thus far. He seems
to be getting along remarkably we'll,

which he has been surrounded. He
is acquiring property quite rapidly,
