DULUTH, March 10.-The officeseeker
OF Duluth never sleeps. No sooner is
the city council organized upon its new
basis than the hunter after plums hobs
up Serenely and declares himself Just
the person for this, that or the other
position. Next Monday night the mayor
is expected to send the names of new
chief of police and member of the board
of public works to the council; and, not
being able to dictate the appointment,
the place-hunter will endeavor to man
nipulate the matter after it gets into the
hands of the city fathers. He is an in
genious mortal, too, and the wires he
doesn't pull are hanging very high. The
police department is Just now his par
ticular object, and he thinks with Chief
DOran out of the way, he could manip-
ulate the force to his own good advan-
tage. Chief DOran occupies much the
same position to Duluth that Chief
Clark does to St. Pau: A terror to
''toughS," he isn't on terms of more
than ordinary intimacy with those whose
pathway leads them only to the church
or the prayer room. A strict disciple

the business the city pays him for. But
he is a Democrat-and there's the rub.
Scarcely sin or crime in the cata-
logue that is not laid at his door, but he
pays little attention to them. and is
confident of reappOintment and equally
confident of confirmation. f. 4. Ed
wards is the retiring member of
the board of public works, and the
place-hunter is mad because he minds
his own business and is in danger of
nomination and confirmation unani-
mously. All the vast Improvement to
streets and avenues offer a great field
for patronage" and with the board of
public works in the hands of the place
hunter, what a leverage he would have
for future use. 1t is really too bad that
he will be disappointed.
FOR FEDERAL APPOINTMENT
the spokesman is biding his time with
ill-concealed grace. He fought for the
office and now he wants it. |. p. Beck
is dancing first Oh one foot and then on
the other in front of the elevator lead
ing to Collector Moore's office; G. E.
Johnston haunts the signal office to
hear any indications" that may blow
his way, while M. A. Hays smokes
nervousness. Julius Howard PAGES the
street meditatively as if concoting some
scheme by which the 'pick up" in the
advertisement letter list could be re-
duced, and E. l.. Fisher notices crit
ically the fit of gray uniforms and the
grace with which the letter bag is worn
over the shoulder, while G. T. Cash
throws packages of money about as
though they were bundles of letters,
and ID. H. Morgan handles bales of hay
like so many mail pouches. Walter

suggests wonder as to the probable
result of the order throwing out cash
artists in the land Office. Doused in the
tussle so far as state appointments are
concerned, the grips are yet packed
and the march to Washington will be
begun as soon as the walking gets
little better.
THE SPALDING.
No city in this or any other country
has hotel of more substantial or ele-
CANT finish than has Duluth with the
completion of the Spalding. Arranged
to accommodate $50 guests, there is not
signed. This is the verdict of the thou
sands who have inspected it within the
past two weeks, and now that it has
been turned over by the contractors to
the owners, and in turn leased by them
to E. p. Emerson, the one drawback to
Duluth as summer resort is overcome.
Schooled in the highest class of
hotel work, Mr.. Emerson will at
once commence the furnishing
and internal arranging of the
house, and probably have it
ready for occupancy by May 10, GER
tainly not later than June 1. Duluth is
proud of the enterprising spirit which
produced the Spalding, and the public
will appreciate their endeavorS more
fully when brought i'll contact with
management as competent as the sur
roundingS are magnificent.
