Circuit Court.

The December term of the Circuit
Court convened according to law at
the court house in this city last Mon
day. But little was done that day,
further than to read the calendar and
get ready for business. The usual
delays and motions to put oyer, set
time for hearing, etc, came along in
their order, and not very many cases
had been disposed of up to this, Fri
day morning.
The case of NJ Harvey US. l.. w.
Stafford and w. j. Conan, was con-
tinued.
In the case of Louis ID. Newton VS..
Nj. Harvey, the plaintiff got verdict
for the relief asked.
In the case of Ole Nelson VS.. l.. r.
Bondy and Josiah Bond Jr., the YER
diet was for the plaintiff.
The Court seems inclined to get
things along as fast as it reasonably
can, and the probabilities are that the
session will be an unusually short one.

What Is the Matter!

From the Duluth Tribune.
Some contractors and builders are
complaining that there are too many
in that line of business here, and some
say that they will have to engage in
other lines if the prospects do not i'm
prove greatly before spring.
Labor in Duluth this winter is not
paid very good prices. There is much
more offered than there is any de-
mand for. OF the men at work on the
new grain she'd we understand the car
penters are getting twenty cents an
hour, or 81 60 day, and the laborers
fifteen cents an hour or S120 a day.
Two years ago at this time Duluth
carpenters commanded from $3.50 to
$500 day.

Mr. Nick Welter met with an ac-
cident last Monday morning which
came near putting him under the dais-
les. He was handling Il revolver rath-
er carelessly, and though admonished
by Mr.. keaough to be more careful,
the thing finally went off, the ball
striking Mr.. Welter just above the
eye, glancing on the skull and came
out in the forehead. A slight fracture
of the skull and bad flesh wound
and the possible loss of an eye, are
the results. DR.. Gauvreau dressed the
wound and then turned the case oyer
to the family physician, Mr.. Murdoch,
who has the case in hand, and Mr..

stances. Certainly some action
must be taken to secure unity
among the elements most anxious to
insure growth and prosperity to our
city, and a call signed by our most
influential citizens should bring to-
gether all voters opposed to contin-
ued pursuit of old abuses. If the
republicans will give US good men,
we may acquiesce; if not, we must
try square issue, and decide once
for all which is more powerful, love
for our best interests or fear of the
party lash.
1t is not yet decided that we shall
lose so plain a case when commu-
nifty intelligent as ours shall sit in
the judgment seat. At any rate, it
is better to try and be defeated than
tamely submit A brave fight will
give us strength for the next con-
test; tame submission emboldens
enemies and demoralizes friends.

TO OUR, MEMBERS.

Each member of the Florida del

Of this paper. 1t is supposed
when gentlemen are chosen to rep
resentative places that the glare and
pomp of official position does not
blind their eyes and senses to the
wants of the people at home, and
the medium through which these
wants are made manifest is the
press. With this preface, and with
out a further waste of space, we
beg to call the attention of our
members to the condition of our
river. 1t needs cleaning out and
Strengthening, in many places. 1t is

which widely scattered and rapid
ly increasing population draws its

squandered each year to the north
and west in fruitless endeavors to
convert brooks into navigable streams
while this magnificent natural wa
terway is being allowed to fill in
and become impracticable as a road
for traffic and travel. Above this
city, few miles only, a shoal is
forming to-day and every day which
threatens III time to sheer off the
heavy vessels which now visit our
port, A few hundred thousands
wisely and economically expended
would Danish these sand-chokes and
straighten the st. Johns from its
mouth to Lake Monroe. Will our
members bear this in mind when
the river and harbor bill comes up
for consideration We hope so.
Florida asks much because the de-
serves much.

THE CITY ELECTION.

1t seems to be foregone conclu-
sion that the majority will insist on
making strictly party nominations
for the positions in our city govern
ment shortly to be vacated. The
minority have done all in their pow
er to provide more efficient and
economical administration for city
just feeling the impetus of new life
and the spur applied by the realiza-
tion of a grand future not far dis
tant.
The effort to divorce partizan feel
ing from our city affairs, has been
utterly fruitless. In vain was a
mass meeting of the citizens called,
and every effort made by all reason
able concessions to secure co-opera-
ton absolutely necessary for t, !
present security and future welfa,s
of the city. The individual mem
bers of both parties are willing Y
acknowledge the urgency of our
need, and some of the most infuen-
tian colored voters even consented
to sit on committee appointed to
consult as to the ways and means
necessary to secure unity of purpose
and concert of action in local affairs.
Messrs. Purcell, Jones and Hill were
willing to admit the bad state of af-
fairs at present, but assured the 9TH
er members Of the committee that
no action could possibly be taken to
strengthen any citizens ticket.
In these circumstances, the mass
Of those anxious for a new and bet
ter government will wait until the
majority has taken action and make
what fight they may, either to bring
in power the best material on the
other ticket, or what other course
may be forced upon us by circum-
