NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
ia SATURDAY. DECEMBER IS. 1882.

If this weather continues the AlgO.
mains troubles will soon begin.
The prevailing weather this week has
been a kind of second cousin to a Man
itOba blizzard.
Since the close Of navigation the ship
ment of iron ore by rail is becoming
quite an item of traffic.
A gentleman remarked the other day,
that he knew this would be hard win
ter from the fact that so many young
couples were getting married.
That cold wave of last week seems to
have struck pretty generally all over
the country, and farther south, much
more severe than in this section.
A. p. Newton has received advices that
the Lawrence threw overheard 200
packages of large lot of fish that the
firm of Newton Brothers shipped on her
from st. Helena on her last trip. The
Chicago papers spoke of her having a
rough trip, but did not mention the loss
of any of her cargo.
The papers are filled with long inter-
views by the different correspondents
with Senator Ferry and j. A. Hubbell
on the Senatorial contest in this state.
Hubbell seems to be making the fight
on the principle of anything to beat
Ferry, and while not, apparently, hav-
ing hopes of securing the position him
self, is in hopes that the prize may be
carried off by dark horse. Senator
Ferry Is confident of being elected, and
claims nomination by the Republican
legislative caucus by large majority.
In view of the prospect of new man
being elected, it is wonderful the amount
of Senatorial timber that is coming to
the front.
Some of the Democratic papers are ex
pressing fears that the Republicans
in Congress will follow the example set
by the Democrats when they last had
majority; that is to cut down all appro-
priation bills below the estimates so as
to leave large deficiencies to be provided
for by the next Congress. This is the
plan the Democrats took to make pOliti-
cal capital, and it was by this means
they were enabled to make their claim
to encOnomy in appropriations. We
venture the assertion that they need not
worry over the matter, as the Republi-
can party has always been in favor of
paying all honest obligations and of
making necessary appropriations there
for. n
The remains of the tug Uncle Sam,
which fell a victim to the ice last March,
on Light House point, while attempting
to make an early passage Of the straits,
were sold at U. s. Marshals sale Thurs
day noon to II. A. Blake for 1915. The
engine was about all that was worth
anything, the boiler having seen its
best days and had received numerous
patches. She was sold upon the suit of
Chas. j. Kitchen. We understand Sagi-
nav parties hold mortgage against
her of several hundred dollars. There
are other claims against her, among
them the estate of the late Henry AmiOt
has considerable bill for raising her
and bringing the wreck into this port.
As 1915 was all she sold for it is quite
evident somebody will be out cOnsidera-
bly,. rs
The latest nag trotted out for the Sem
atorial race is granger candidate in
the person of j. j. WOodman. The De-
croft Evening News says the movement
is championed by Col. F. M. Hollaway, of
Hillsdale, who was the Democratic can
didate for governor two years ago. 1t
seems rather singular to see leading
Democrats support man, who, Col.
Hollaway says has always been Repub-
lican, and is to-day moderate tariff
man of that party. They, the Democrats,
know there is no hope of electing man
of their own parry. and so their project
Is to bring forward man whom they
hope will secure enough votes from Re-
publicans that, when added to the Demo-
cratic vote, will elect him, and thus beat
the regular Republican candidate. In
other words, they desire to repeat the
programme which elected Christiancy.
