PERSIAN Carpet weavers' Secret.

A native of Finland named Runen was
sent about two years ago to the east, at
the expense Of the government, with the
object Of endeavoring to discover the art
Of Persian carpet weaving, the secret Of
which is strictly guarded by those en-.
gagged in the trade. He made the journey
disguised as a simple workman, but 1t was
only after long and fruitless efforts to OBJ
tain admission into a Turkish carpet man.

One Too Many.

Our attention has, on several
occasions, been called to the con-
dition Of the Leech Lake Govt
boarding School, not as regards
its moral or social standing, but
in the fact Of surplus in the
corps Of employees.
The school now has, and has
had for the past three years or
more, two teachers, a principal
and an assistant. The stress Of
objection has been that this was
one teacher too many and that
the "assistent teacher alone, does
all the work, while the principal
has a soft snap of it, pitching
quoits, fishing and exchanging
'chestnuts' with the town boys,
ETC. Now in regard to a surplus
| D. ii
of teachers, any one conversant
with the Leech Lake school affairs
will not hesitate in placing credit
to this part Of the report. To our
knowledge, there has been but few
occasions in the history Of the
school where the attendance ne
cessitated the duties of two teach
ers, and we feel Justified in saying
that one capable and energetic
teacher could, with more percepti-
BILE good effect, dispense with the
duties. As in the instance Of the
employment Of two person to per-
form certain duties, and where
such duty properly demanded the
services Of but one, it is natural to
suppose that considerable soldier
ing Of duties and dissatisfaction
among those employed will be
manifested, thus tending to demon
alize rather than elevate the stand
ard Of those directly interested.
We trust that this matter may re-
ceive early attention for the good
of the school and all others inter
ested.

IL Take Notice /!

In last week s issue we called at.
tention to the fact that "a salts
factory settlement and accounting
OF the funds received and expend-
ed BY the finance committee and
the manager Of the refreshment
booth Of the Peoples Pic Mic
Committee, 2 was necessary to
legally justify all interests con.
cerned, and as no heed has been
taken to the call and no DISPOSE
ton manifested to properly and
honorably meet such demand.
we have been instructed to give
this further notice, viz: sThat an
accounting Of all funds, as hereto
fore stated, must be rendered, vol
unfairly, if possible, and if this
will not suit the case then a more
rigid course will be pursued"
And let it be understood that ''the
with olding or appropriating Of
funds, not legally belonging to the
person or persons useing the
same" comes under the head Of
'embezzlement, a crime akin to
robbery and subject to extreme
penalties. Also that privileges
assumed and acquired under false
pretense is likewise punishable by
fine and imprisonment. We are
not prepared to say that there has
been duplicity practiced, but it
does seem reasonable to believe
that entious-honorable-
motives would have evinced a
willingness to respectfully fulfill
obligations and justify public
courtesy ere this. We propose to

marked the two parties Of this
country, having in the main ceas-
ed to exist, there must needs be
new created.
Financial and economic condi-
tions have made the tariff question
the one upon which public atten.
ton is now rivited, and that party
which can best succeed in meeting
the demands Of the country is the
one upon whose banners victory
shall perch.
We do not claim to be posted as
to the best methods for inaugural
ting the reform which seems to be
demanded, reform which finds
it's advocates in the ranksof both
parties, but it seems to us, that
the action Of the late Democratic
convention in nominating Mr..
Cleveland and in indorsing his late
message, was move in the right
direction.
Looking at political controver-
sizes, party pledges, and party en-
thusiasm from an independent
stand point, we cannot throw our
selves into the excitements Of the
day with that enthusiasm which,
in the campaign season, marks the
average citizen Of the country.
The most we can say is, we wish
the country well; we desire to see
its administration q success,
whichever party assumes the reins
Of government. As matters now
stand the Democratic party has
cast aside the shilly .shally policy
touching tariff reform and which
in the past years so characterized
legislation. The fear with which
the question had been approached
re annre dn1ois Demoeratl
ic party, thanks TO the bold stroke
Of the President in giving to The
country message full Of wisdom
and courageous utterance. It re-
mains now for the few protection
lists either to fall into line, and to
cast their votes without fear for
the result; to labor for the party
in its cause or else to step outside
and into the ranks Of the opposi-
tion, a thing they can do without
charge Of disloyalty as long as they
conscientiously hold views not in
accordance with the thought Of
the party.
We should like to see the Chica-
go convention put into nomina-
ton some
Avowed Tariff Reformer,
but we must confess it looks like
wishing for the impossible.
We believe that the nomination
Of Mr.. Gresham would be accepta-
BILE to the independent vote, and
to the large portion Of that Re
publican element which is not po-
llt1cal IN the sense OF politics in
its lowest meaning. But we must
admit to a feeling that the Repub-
lican party, as such, is not yet
ready, for reform. It's best expo.
nents still hug the delusion 81
protection, and they must be blind
not to foresee the inevitable re-
suit. In this great question we
have an interest, such as any pur.
chaser Of commodities may have,
but beyond this, we can have
none, such for instance as the citi.
zen Of the country may have in
wishing for the success Of this Of
that party.

which should arrest the attention
OF parties. They are questions,
perhaps, now formless and only
vaguely floating in the minds Of a
few, but they should be made to
crystalize and assume form, and
become an element in the consti-
tuition Of one party or another.
The main question Of interest
to us IS
The Indian az q Political Factor.
We have not the moral question
OF slavery or non-slavery which
agitated ante-bellum days, and
which the Republicans were wise
enough to recognize and to range
themselves upon the right side,
and thus to ride into power, but
We claim to have the right to rec.
ognition on the ground Of ours
and the white peoples public well
fare. We think it right to de-
mand clearly defined policy on
the part Of one party or the other
with reference to our status.
The question for statesmen in
either party to ask, is this, now
that the interests Of the west are
demanding adjustment Of the land
question with reference to reser-
vations, how can these interests
be best answered to the satirfac-
tion Of the west and to the Indian

PoRT-AU-PRINCE IN DANGER.-The De-

minister of the United States at Port-su-
Prince that on the 4th Instant some unknown
person set fire to the upper floor Of the
Chamber Of Deputies while that body was

every endeayor to ascertain the perpetrators
of the outrages, VINO, when convicted, will

consignments of goods being returned by
the vessels which brought them. Many pso-
ple have left the city for other parts of the
