country needs more industry aud
less legislation, more honesty and
less speculation, more letting alone
and less restriction. Not only
should there be state hi ennials, bit
national ones as well. When the
Politics of country get to be more
expensive than its bread it is high
time to choke off the parasites.
Thomas D. Loyett, prominent
engineer OF Cincinnati, has just
made a contract with French CAPT
tslists to build a railroad from Jer-
usalem to Jaffa, in the Hol, Land.
The road is to be a narrow gauge,

If Superior will have to wait as
long for a railroad as Jerusalem has,
we might as well shut up shop and
quit at once.
"A western editor thinking to
stock his depleted larder, advertised
Poultry taker in exchange for adj
vertlsing." The villainous compos-
tor, seeing his opportunity to pay
up long standing grudge, set it up
-'Poetry taken, &c. and since
that time the office boy has been
clearing fifty cents day from the
waste paper man.

Our old friend Col. E a. Nc
Nair, formerly of the firm of Sargent
& McNair, Duluth, is now located
in Leadville. Colorado. See the
card Of Price & McNair, Real Es-
tate and Nine Agents and Brokers

a man of great energy, thorough
going reliable business man and we
hope he has struck it rich in the
silver region of the Rockies.
Superior certainly stands with :
out rival in one thing, and that is
the complete absence of military
titled men, there being not single
General, Colonel, Major or Captain
in town. In Bayfield,, on the other
hand, nine out Of every ten men
you meet are ready to court-mar-
tial you if you fail to address them
by any army cognomen below that
of captain.
