THE SUPERIOR TINES discusses
the Indian vote question at consid-
cradle length. 1t seems that at the
last election at Superior the new
law making it necessary 70, persons
of Indian descent to qualify by
severing their connections with all
triba! relations before the clerk of
the circuit court-bY taking an oath
that they have no claim upon the
United States for aid and assistance
from any appropriation made for
the benefit OF Indians, aud that
they thereby relnquish all tribal
relations and right to claim or re-
ceiye any aid from the United
Stotes which they may have-was
totally disregarded, and that the
Indian vote" so called, was polled
over the protest of several Of Su
perior's prominent citizens. The
result was the election Of the ticket
supported by this class of voters,
which naturally enough riles mp the
otherwise peaceful political waters
of Douglas county. 1t strikes Us,
however, that the TINES has the
best of the argument. If the law
means anything, it means that be
fore any person Of Indian descent
can vote he must qualify under Its
provisions. 1t was intended by It's
trainers TO cover just this point.
/ This is our opinion after carefully
reading ths law, the Attorney Gen
eral, District Attorney Ritchie and
our lawyer friend Geo. W. Perry

FINDING THE MERIDIAN, - Nr.
George w. Blunt, of this city, who
knows as much about nautical mat
ters as any gentleman we know,
gives the following simple mode for
running meridian line:
Take a piece Of board 81 any
similar material, and describe on it
a number Of conceutric circles.
Place this in the sun over the
center hang a plummet. Observe
the shortest shadow from the plum
met; The sun viii then be Oh the
meridian; draw a line to the center
OF the circle, and that will be the
true meridian line. This will do
to mark the apparent time or to cor
rect the compass for variation

THAT Duluth feels she is not vet
'out of the woods" by long wavs,
although the most of her debt has
been compromised after fashion,
and that she is still afraid that Supe-
rior, through the influence of Wis
cansin railroads and the n. p. road
meeting at the head of the lake,
will, after all, become, the city at
the head of the lake, is strongly ev-
idenced by FIVE column leader in
last weeks issue of the Duluth Tri-
Dune. The Tribune, taking the
view, no doubt, that it is best for
one to know the worst, shows up
the manifest illegality of much OF
the debt compromise proceedings,
and urges the Chamber Of Com
merce Of that city to give the mat
Il :.-rsvusaIe asfet serious at
tentIOn.
Well, Superior is all right now F.;
her debt Is out Of the way and she
Is ready for any business enterprise,
looking to the interest OF the place,
that comes along. The present is a
good time tc attend to these old
matters, and if anything ajIs Duluth
the people there had better take
hold OF the case and fix it up :; for
it is as sure as fate that q big city
will occupy the ground at the head
Of the lake before many years, and
the better shape both sides of the
bay are in the bigger will be the
city-tor it viii yet be one contin-
uous city around these shores. The
Tribune's warning is timely, but we
understand Is not rolished by good
many in Duluth. The truth il
always rank poison to some people.

Two weeks ago we published an
account of two white men having
stolen a skiff from Mr.. Mcknight,
OF this place. Since their release
both of these men have called on
us and made statement which we
publish in justice to them.
Mr.. Butler says he was drinking
at the time. and in taking the boat
be only desired to go on q spree
for day or two. The boat being
old and seldom required for use, he
thought it no harm to appropriate
it for a few days fun. The pants
found in his possession he says
were made for him by Mrs. Bull
lock. and he had worn them for
nearly two months. He is a fine
carpenter. has the tools. and could
make better boat than the one
taken in two days. so there was no
earthly reason for him to steal the
skiff found in his possession. He
feels confident Of clearly establish
ing his innocence from crime mt
next district court. to which he is
bound over in the sum of 500.
Mr.. johnson was also drinking
at the time, and under the in-
preston that his companion had a
right to the skiff. he being unac-
qnainted and stranger in this
region. Mr.. johnson has worked
at Satcher's mill for several months
and is well thought of by the peo-
pie of the neighborhosd. AT his
trial before the parish court Mon
day he was honorably acquitted
and discharged from custody.
That we may have done these
men an injustice is very true, but
they themselves were the original
canse Of whatever injury may re-
suit, and this escapade should be a
warning to them against the enemy
which men pnt into their bellies to
steal away their brains

HAYEs's civil service reform is again
illustrated in the testimony of Gorham,
the National Republican Executive Com
mittee's Secretary, before the Wallace
Committee of the United States Senate.
Hayes had ordered that Government
employees be not assessed, yet Gorham
says that for last falls Congress canvass,
about one hundred and six thousand
dollars was collected of ofice.holders, all
of which, except six thousand dollars,
which unfortunately went up with the
broken German.American Bank, was
suspended. Clerks from the National
Committee made personal appeals for
most of it, although to the Interior De-
partment employees circular was sent,
that eminent civil service reformer, Mr..
Schurz, objecting to the personal button
holing of his assistants. The Intention
was, Mr.. Gorham said, to assess about
one per cent Of the salaries. He remem. i.
bered that Mr.. Waddell was discharg-
ed from the service after refusing to pay
an assessment.
Gorham's testimony shows that Office.
holders are squeezed as much as ever,
without protest from, Hayes, Sherman,
Evarts, and the rest of the fraud reform
ers. Wonder how much came into this,
the XVIth district, to help Mr.. McKin-

Hon. II. Ii. GRKaG, of our town, kind
ly thanks the newspapers OF this section
Of the State for their favorable notices
of him in connection with the Office OF
State Treasurer, but he cannot at tins
time think of asking for or accept
inc a nomination. and especially In view
of the fact that Hon. Anthony Howels,
present inCum bent, is entitled to sec,
ond term by custom. Mr.. Gregg would
make very competent and trustworthy
Treasurer, and our Democracy would
do we'll at some time in the inture TO
tender him the Office Ohio Patriot
We commend Mr.. Gregg's action to
the aspirants seeking the Democratic
nomination for Governor. Let them as
gracefully decline in favor of Governor
Bishop as Mr.. Gregg declined in favor OF
State Treasurer HowelIs. That will Sc
cure harmony and strength to the Dam
ocra,ic party in the ensuing State contest
II will do more: it will insure a Demo-
cratic yictoryl - Wayae Co. Democrat
Just so, and Democratic victory is
what true, unselhsh Democrats like Mr.
Gregg labor for. Mr. Gregg, we know, is
not Democrat for Office, and he readily
acouiegces in the decision of the major
ity, on the 4fersonian principle. He
is no schemer for office, but devoted
to the principles, the harmony and the
success of the party.

A FEW months ago Gen. Garfield made
an eloquent speech, in which he said
"The man who attempts to get up po'
litical excitement in this country on the
old sectional issues will find himself
without a party and without support
The man who wants to serve his country
must put himself in the lines Of it's lead
ing thought, and that is the restoration
of business, commerce, industry, sound
political economy, honest money, and
honest payment of all obligations"
Gen. Garfield forgot to act on his own
wholesome advice in the late discussion
upon the Army bill, for he did attempt
to get up political excitement on the
old sectional issues" But the bill had
the decided majority of 26, showing that
there is danger that Gen. Garfield twill
find himself without party and without
support"

American, Gen. Shields, in alluding to
the constant stirring up of strife by the
Republican speakers, says:
Is this unnatural, unuational and IN .
American conflict to 60 on forever Will

American people, as whole, are deeply
injured in this conflict. To them It is
productive of nothing else but unmitiga-
ted evil. No people on earth are better
fitted by nature to live together in ami.
ty. They are children Of the same soil,
citizens Of the same republic, and heirs
of the same destiny, and in spite OF their
divisions and dissensions, and even in
spite of themselves, they will have to
submit to the same destiny as long as a
republican form Of government lasts in
America. There are not two destinies
