Da2uiii-s Population.

Figures are somtimes odious, at
least to some people. This time it is
Duluth that suffers. All of the pa
pers and most of the people of that
city claim a population $4,000. Last
Tuesday one of the hottest political
fights ever had there was fought.
Every honest voter and probably q
good many "repeaters" recorded their
vote or votes, and the very best that
could be done was to get 39f5 votes.
Now we want to be liberal with our
friends across the bay, so we will give
them as basis of representation FIVE
persons for every vote cast, and this
will give them population of 1888.
The News claims there was 902
names registered that were not out to
vote, but no one supposes that that
number of honest voters were allow
ed to stay at home last Tuesday, to do
so would be to insult the political
managers of both factions, bat for ar
guments sake let us give them the
benefit of that list also, which would
add 1910 to the former number max
ing total of %, S9S, or about 1900
more population than, what is claimed.
But as everybody knows that to allow
FIVE people for each voter in Duluth
is simply absurd, in fact the people of
the city, including It's papers do not
claim anything like it. At least one
third of her voters represent nobody
but themselves. To allow four per-
sons for each voter, (full enr3llment),
is a very liberal allowance for town
like Duluth, and ON this basis she has
population Of 1855 which is prob
ably not far from the correct number
of her inhabitants.

~ est superior Realty

Within the past two or three weeks
values haye risen on realty in West
Superior with remarkable rapidity.
There has not been much activity
otherwise, few sales haying been re-
corded. The change in values to a
higher level without buyers is said to be
the fact that property owners believe
that the Land and River Improve
ment company will begin extensive
operations IN one way or another
during the spring. Everybody is
looking forward to a prosperous era
in building Of all kinds. The Land
and River Improvement company
haYe reserved considerable property
for those "ho VIII build at once and
will sell TO them only, and this pro-
baby has some effect on values.
There Is every indication that the
busy little place of three years
growth will do herself more proud
than ever in the near future.

the condensation of fetid matter is
taking place, but is rendered invisible
by absorption by the pourous paper

Inters;aIiag Biography.

Senator Spooner has introduced a
bill to regulate telegraph companies.
II virtually treats them as common
carriers and us such brings them under
the operations Of the interstate com
mcrce law, and gives the interstate
commerce commission the same iuris-
dictlon over telegraph service that it
now has over the railroads. Senator
Spooner believes that the supreme
court, by its decision in the
Pensacola case, affirmed the right of
congress to regulate telegraph mat
tiers. Mr., Spooner says his object is
to get an authoritative expression Of
opinion and official information from
the companies through the interstate
commerce commission, which shall be
an Intelligent basis for legislation
upon the subject for postal tcle. graphs.
A Washington correspondent, speak
ing of it says: senator Spoouerer's
proposition To put telegraph compan-
les under the jurisdiction Of the Inter
State Commerce commission is receiv-
ing commentator on all sides. 1t
seems to iorestall any action Senator
Lawyers committee on postoffices
may make. Senator Cullom, vino
was largely instrumental in passing
the interstate law, said to-day:
"Spooner has hit the nail on the head.
There is nothing in telegraphin5 50
radically different from railroads that
the two cannot be dealt with by the
same controlling power. The only
difficult is that the commission may
already be too heavily burdenel with
work, and larger commission or
separate may be deemed necessary.

A proposed amendment to the
Rhode Island constitution, which has
passed the senate, extends the right
10 vote at all general elections to
every male citizen, but requires Il pro-
perry qualification for voters for city
officers, and upon all questions in
volving the raising or spending of
money. Such a law ought to pre-
vail in every state.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The

out one fact of decided interest and
Importance, to wit: That the litter
acy of the country is increasing in
stead of diminishing in spite of all
our present educational facilities.
Admitting the above statement to
be correct, where must we look for
the cause? Plainly to the great in
flux of the ignorant pauper element
that is daily empted upon our land
from all the foreign nations of the
world. About so per cent of all the
foreigners who have emigrated to this
county the past few years haye been
unable to read or write and without

The prohibitionists are moving
all along the line; and if there is one
thing more than another that tends
to increase their strength it is the
contempt the liquor men manifest for
all laws in relation to their business
The Press believes the prohibitionists
have no stronger ally than the local
liquor dealers throughout the land,
and that if prohibition ever prevails
the liquor dealers will be the ones to
blame. \ constant violation of all
reasonable laws can have but one
tendency, and that is to disgust all
law abiding citizens with the bust
ness. The day has gone by in almost
all communities when wide-open
policy can prevail for any great
length of time. The Press is aot :.
"crank" on temperance. 1t does not
believe in prohibition. 1t doSS be-
lieve that all laws ought to be obeyed
until such time as public sentiment
demand their repeal. -BnUfeId Press.

They made an attempt to gain entrance at
