Ola, How 1T HURTS.

1t hurts those fellows across the bay
terribly to see anything IN the way OF
improvements going on on this side of
the bay, even in South Duluth" as
they continue to call it. In the Trib-
unc of Thursday morning we find the
following doleful wall:
Today Williams and Upham will
start dredge at work for the town
site syndicate Of South Duluth, who
ever they are" as Maj. Upham re-
marked to Tribune reporter They
are Messrs. Hammond, Hamilton and
others who own the lots there that
they are trying TO in every way to
boom and dispose of for cash. Mai.
Upham further informed the Tribune
that it is only small job that he has
to do oyer there, that must be done
before work IS commenced on the
abutmcnts Of the great railroad bridge,
though he is not doing the work for
the bridge contractors. And now the
price Of lots at South Duluth will go
UP some more"
The syndicate, whoever they are
richly deserve the above vigorous kick,
both from Upham q Co., and the Tri-
bune editor, for hiring Upham y Co.,
to do their work.

At jollification meeting Of the
'rammanyites a few days ago, one Of
the speakers, Sam. J. Randall, said;
1--WE must not expect, altogether,
partisanship to come from the next
administration. The Democratic par
ty must redeem all its promises to the
conservative people of the United
States. They must abolish many un-
necessary offices. They must bring
the government down to economy and
they must at once reduce the extra
ordinarily great revenues Of the coun-
try. The great amount of public lands
that have been given away through
the proAigate legislation of the Re
publican party must be taken back to
the ownership of the people, to be held
for actual settlers, under the home
stead laws. Ofiice-holders must be
taught to perform their duties under
the restriction Of the laws"

CURED very suddenly on Sunday last
Her sickness was known to but few.
She had, we understand, been indisposed
for Il week or Two. but no fears of Il fatal
result were entertained until the Satur-
day night previous to her death. She
was in attendance at the graded school
at Middlebury during the fall and was
able to be pres mt at the closing eXercis-
es of the fall term. Those who knew her
best speak only in her praise and her
death brings sadness to a large number
of friends and associates. TO her family
circle it is a severe stroke, and especially
to her widowed mother, who is thus
called again to pass the faith-trying or
deal of laying away IA loved one forever
from her view. She and they have the
strong sympathy of all in this their hour
of deep atlliction The funeral was at
tended from the family residence on

sympathy of any one. The mass of
Republicans of the town and county do
not fall in with the st. John movement.
The communication printed in another
part of this paper gives the reasons
which most of them would put forward
for their belief. Nine-tenths of them are
prohibtionists many lifelong workers
in the Temperance cause: but they can
not see wherein the formation of a new
party on the basis of national prohibition
will aid that cause. And the great ma.
jority of Republicans. whatever may
have been their opinion of the policy of
placing Mr.. Blaine in nomination. thought
that the retention of their party in pow
er was of supreme Importance to the con-
tinued welfare and prosperity of the
country. 1t was not strange. therefore,
that they used strong language in express
sing their opinions of those who voted for
Mr.. st. John either because they believed
in him or did not believe in Mr.. Blaine.
when it seemed clear that Mr.. St. Johns
followers had lost the party the election.
Nor is it to be wondered at that few

him about half way. and he called for Il
shovel to dig himself free. but while do

The explosion was felt in many parts of
the village and made Il great noise.
Nearly the whole business part of West

originating in W. +. Lamson's furniture

statements of Messrs. Ormsbee and Bur-
nap in trying to establish the fact that
Mr.. Catlin did not die of typhoid fever.
Where death is the outcome of this dis
ease, Peyer's glands, so-called, in the
third intestine, or ileum, are found to be

Pruden of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons. New York city, for micro
SCOPE examination. AS he could not be
gotten here then to testify, the case was
continued till the present term. But now
it appears that instead of going direct to
DR.. Pruden. the jar containing the ileum
was sent by DR.. Woodward to his son.
then Il student in the Bellevue medical
school. who gave it to an Irish porter to
be carried to DR., Pruden. That gentle
man made the examination; and, not
finding the ulcers, threw the ilcum away.
The jar in which it reached him bore no
marks by which its identity could be es-
tabished. DIR. Pruden was not informed
that the examination had any special OBJ
irct, and supposed it was being made for
DR.. Woodward, ir.. to satisfy his curios-
