Game Preserve,

So Two Harbors-There are now no
less than 1000 deer on Grand island,
the Cleveland Cliffs Iron company's
big game preserve in the northeastern
end of Lake Superior. The island
contains about $4,000 acres and pos
sesses many bays. 1t is a natural
breeding and feeding ground for deer
and moose, as we'll as for grouse and
other birds, while the bays and inland
lakes are natural water for many
kinds of fish.
There are eight full-grown moose
and several calves. The elk, of which
few were brought to the island some
years ago, are increasing rapidly.
There are also some caribou, but
these are rarely seen. A 24-strand
wire fence encl0ses the northwestern
portion of the island and prevents the
animals escaping to the mainland.
However, deer are occasionally seen
swimming to and from the island, and
it is probable that more come in than
go out, as In the game preserve hunt
ers do not worry them.

intention was of course to compel the
imperial family by means of a ship
wreck to land in rebellious Finland

the revolutionary association, had al

The paper further says: The treach-
erous Finnish pilot should be hung
at once in the tallest gallows-but that
cannot be done under the present
laws which were written or dictated
by Jews" To the honor of the Rus
sian authorities it must be stated that
they regard the grounding of the ship
as purely accidental.

WEALTH AND HONESTY.

Mfr. Simon Guggenheim--the to be Son. . ator from Colorado, is one of the rich est men in the Northwest, and he de- clares very positively that he is not going to Congress in the interests of any company or individual An hon. orable ambition" he declares. is per mitted to every man, even the wealth fest, and it's my ambition to serve my country" That is certainly an honor able ambition, and if he adheres faith fully to it he will be entitled to the credit of doing his duty in an import ant position.
 While it is true that some of ONT wealthiest men are not really a credit to the country or to humanity, there is too much prejudice against wealth. As a contemporary expresses 1t, this country having had bad and demor- alizing attack of moneymania, seems to us on the verge of an equally de- moralizing attack of moneyphobia. The disposition to hold wealth wholly re- sponsible for half the evils which af- fiict society and partly responsible for half the rest, breeds a dangerous fal- lacy--that is that men are not respon- sibIe. The Great Teacher of Men. who saw into men a good deal better than most of the little teachers of the pres ent day, uttered a profoundly philo- sophical truth when he said that a mans life consistent not in the abund- ance of the things which he possess eth." It has more sides than one. Usually quoted to convey the idea that happiness does not depend on large aeter does not depend on large wealth or small wealth either, and that ex- traneous means of producing character by giving or withholding wealth are poor reliances."
 Beginning with MT. Roosevelt there are many who seem to go on the idea that no man of great wealth can be honest, and that the only honest men are the poor ones. The truth Is that a poor man who is naturally dishonest will carry out his proclivities as far as he can. The rich one has the means to go further and does it. That is about the only difference between them. If MT. Guggenheim is honest his wealth need not prevent his serv- ing the country with credit to himself man his wealth will enable him to do more harm than he otherwise would, aud that's all there is to it.

ABOUT THE LIMIT.

As a general thing The Chicago Jour nal is not so bitterly sectional as some of the other papers in the North are. but in a recent Issue 1t discounted most of, them. Discussing the recent troubles at scooba, Miss, 1t says:
 This throws a light upon the state of society in that part of the South. What can be done with men no more civilized than these? A white man dis putes with a negro and instantly the passions of every white man who hears of the dispute are aroused and he sets out to kill. This Is not race war; it Is merely blood lust.
 It is useless for NorthSrners to try to find a remedy for such state of affairs as this incident reveals. Noth- ing can be done until the white man to regard the negro as brother. at least to grant that he is a human be- ing. Some parts of the South are as far sunk in. savagery as Central Ar rica. Men there may seem to be liv- ing rationally, but once let their blood get heated and they become brutes.
 We spend millions of dollars every year in foreign missions. trying to con. o Christianity. Does 1t not seem that first we had better try to bring our own people to sense of Christian feeling. to civilize the savages who
 The race problem in the South is not race problem at all. It Is the prob lem of bringing under the control of reason a set of men who have degen- erated into the depths of barbarism.
 This comes very near to being the limit, we should say. While the com ments and abusive criticisms are di- rected primarily against Mississippi and Mississippians. it refers in fact to the entire South and to all the Southern people, and we suppose there is noth- ing to be gained by arguing with one of this sort We might use the let tu. Brute" style of augmentation, it Is true. and point out to The Journal va- rious evidences of barbarity under it's own nose but what would be the good of it? It would pay no attention to evidences of savagery at home. and would libel the South again at the first opportunity We merely reprinted the article to show our readers what Ia Chicago man can say.

CARE OF THE INSANE.

The report of the trustees of the In- sane Hospital is very interesting and instructive. It deals very largely with the question of how to properly care for the increasing number of insane. It is shown that the increase of in- sanity is greater than the regular rate of increase of population. Dr. Searcy, Superintendent of the Hospital, says;
 Certainly very much can be done to- wards helping the matter by improv- ing the county care of the mentally dencient paupers. To do this, l know no better plan that will gradually lead to it than the appointment of a State inspector of county almshouses, who shall be q man instructed as to how such houses should be built and man aged. He should be authorized system atically to visit every county aims house. give such information, advice sioners as they will receive; make each board a written statement as to the comparative condition of their aims houses. which statement should also be nor This would attract attention to such work In the State. and eventual ly by reason of enlightened public opinion lead to an improvement that would relieve the State institutions Of much of the care of tho dcficients. state prominent and open to widest inspec-- ton and criticism. Still county and municipal care, I think, in this way can be improved If the State wishrs to take up the care of all the menta iy impaired persons, white and black within her borders she will have 10 make provision for at least 5000 steadily increasing.
