Hon. W. D. Washburn Very Much In
Love With Duluth.
LOCAL POLITICS WARMING UP
Several People Have Their lightning
Rods Up---In the City's
Social Swim.

long While ago, but Still Duluth is not
ungrateful, and is willing to give Mr..
Washburn all the credit therefor.
However, it must be insisted that con-
ditions have somewhat changed during
the past six or eight years. Mr.. Wash
burn didn't then have his 800 line" in
operation. and 1t is even limited that at
that time he had deal on foot to alb
sorb the head of the lake so far as its
railway system was concerned, but find
interest of Minneapolis. the scheme
was abandoned, and eventually the 500
line evolved itself. Mr.. Washburn is
ingenious, truly, and has a long
memory, but his latest ELUSIVE declara-
ton of love for us is taken for just what
it is worth.
THE LOCAL BUDGET.
Another election is only about three
weeks distant, and the slate-maker
again finds himself in demand. The
Republican who is afraid to run for Of
flee on his individual merits is clamoring
loudly for party lines" He must
have something to tow him safely into
camp. Of this tribe is Asa Daily. who
would give his two eyes to be called
aid. DAILY, of the First ward" John
II. La VAGUE, who, having succeeded
in getting his brother into Office on the
same plea, now wants to represent the
Second ward in the council. George
Ash, who lives in the Third ward when
in the city. thinks he could hold down
j. j. Costello's chair. Ed Patterson,
who has never succeeded in having
himself elected on his merits, but
thinks if party lines were drawn tight
enough he could ''get there from the
Fourth in place of Zeke Kendall. In
the Fifth ward the matter does not APP
pear to have been settled yet. and in
ably have little opposition in any event.
For the other offices little interest has
been manifested outside the candidates
themselves. Just how tar party lines
will be drawn it is difficult to forecast.
If the "bOsses" insist upon DAILY, La
vague and Patterson there will be
bolt by the progressive element of the
party. 1t is not the intention of Duluth
to stop Improvements at this stage of
her development at the beck and call
CT an old fOgy elem mt, no matter how
vigorously the party lash may be
applied. Of this the GLOBE has
been assured by representative
Republicans. In the meantime
the war goes meIrlly on. and each
move is watched with increasing inter-
est. 1t is probable that a Republican
convention will be held in the interest
of the candidates enumerated, in which
event there will quite as likely be an
other convention of citizens generally
interested in the welfare of the city,
and another ticket placed in the field.
For places on this Aid. Howard has been
suggested from the First ward, Giles
Gilbert from the Second, j. j. Costello
dali from the Fourth, with the Fifth not
heard from; and Aid. Kennedy for an
other term IN the Sixth. Democrats are
looking on, but saying never word.
ANOTHER INDUSTRY.
Another industry which the untiring
efforts of Mr.. M. B. Harrison has Sc
cured for Duluth, is a stove manufacture
ing concern of considerable magnitude.
Definite plans have not yet been
decided upon, but wealthy and practical
manufacturers from the East are behind
the institution with 100000 ready to
put into the pl Mt, which will give en-
plOvment to an additional 100 Or so
W0rkmen.
LITTLE BITS.
Advices were received here to-day
from the highest civil engineering law
yer in America, stating that the gov
ernment's objections to bridging the
canal on Minnesota point were without
foundation, and could be easily over
thrown: that the canal was out of gov
eminent jurisdiction; that it had never
been properly transferred to the gov
eminent, and was built by public
money. 1t is believed the bridge will
be built without the governments con-
sent, as the legal authority spoken of
says the case is good deal clearer than
the one which he defeated the govern
ment in concerning the Rock Island
injunction. which he caused to be dis
solved.

White is natural to the well-launched
debutante, which she wears with as
much grace this season as ever. Little
Directoire gowns of white lace, with a
broad silk sash tied high under the arms,
are very popular. Some few of these
are of white silk brocaded in delicate
colors. with sashes of the same. These
are short in front, with small trains
that spread wide, but scarcely touching
the floor.
