DuLurH To THE FRONT.

The alleged discovery of sbnormslly rich
gold fields in the immediate vicinity of Du-
luth has started boom which promises to
greatly inure to the benefit Of that much
abused city. Founded with grand -four
ish Of trumpets as the future metropolis of
the Northwest-the town which was des-
tined to outstrip Chicago, Milwaukee, De-
troit, and all the other lake cities in the race
for recognition as the leading grain store
house of the world, Duluth early fell by the
wsyside, and from the day Of the delivery Of
PGoCTOR KSorT's celebrated speech down
to the present time it has been the subject
of uncsasing ridicule. Chicsgoans have
Wsgged their hgads as they passed BY it,
Milwaukeeaus have bit their thumbs at it,
Detroi,ians have Knocked at it, and all the
pennya.line wits and punsters Of the land
have reyiled it and laughed it to scorn as
the one colossal failure Of the nineteenth
century.
But Duluth has bided her time, and her
time has come. The old saying that every
dog has its day has failed not in the case of
Duluth, and her successful rivals for the
handling Of the golden grain of Dakota and
the pork products Of Michigan and Wiscon-
sin may yet clothe themselves in sackcloth
and cast ashes on their heads and weep.
The city is reported to be in 9 fever Of ex.
element. The land Office is doing land
Office business in the way Of mining claims,
and strangers are aocking in from all sides.
From present indications the excitement is
stin in its infancy, and if it continues
Duluth, before spring, will be swsrming with
capitalists and prospectOrs drawn hither BY
he reports of the rich mineral discoveries.
Already real estate has jumped to fancy
figures, and the holders thereof are cores.
, rondingly happy.
I Verify, it is the unexpected which always
( comes to pass. Duluth, founded as grain
port. becomes a mining centre; the elevator
makes way for the quartzcrusher, and in
stead of threshing machines and gunuy
bags. rockers and reyOlvers and picks and
blasting powder win become the stables o.

unanimous in the belief that At least twenty
Eve per cent. more goods viii be handled
during 1855 than was shipped in 1884, and
this increased demand for manufactured
articles must carry with it an inevitable in
creased demand for labor, with the conse-

classes.
That the present period Of stagnstion in
business circles has entailed heavy losaes
both to employer and emPloye is painfully
apparent, but the crisis cnuld not have been
avoided. A readjustment Of the relations
Of labor and capital was inevitable, and the
only thing to be done by both parties is to
move from the old order Of things to the
new with as little friction as possible. That
tue cloud has silver lining none can doubt,
and that the new gear now so close at hand
will bring with it renewewed prosperity and
happiness We firmly believe. At all events,
let US hope for the best.
