A GOOD APPOINTMENT.

The more the public reflects on it the
more thoroughly satisfied it is that the
appointment of Rev. DR.. SAMUEL G..
SMITH to membership in the board of
education is altogether an admirable
one. DR.. SMITH is vigorous, capable
and experienced man-broad-minded,
skilled in affairs. tactful, popular and
full of local patriotism. In every posi-
ton which he has been called on to fill.
whether in the church or the state, he
has rendered valuable and satisfactory
service. 1t is good thing for the city
to have mayor who makes such Sc
lections for municipal Offices; and it is
also good thing for the city that as
distinguished a citizen as DR.. SMITH is
willing to give his time and energies to
the duties of so exacting a post.

THE COMING METAL.

There has been cOnspicuOusly of late
disparagemento of aluminium as the COM
ing metal that is to displace others in
use in many of the arts and mechanics.
1t is probable that too much has been
claimed for it in some quarters, and the
claims of pretended discoYerers of cheap
processes of production have been so
baseless and absurd as to throw some
discredit upon the attempts to utilize
the metal. The entirely pure article is
hardly produced at all i'll this country,
but the alloy generally passes for the
clear metal. In the form in which it is
chiefly used it is being produced in
rapidly increasing quantities and at
greatly reduced prices. The man at st.
Louis who is so slow in making his
ship sail through the air claims to
have used aluminium in its con-
struction. At Zurich, in Switzerland.
a steamer twenty feet long and five feet
wide has been constructed entirely of
aluminium, even to the engine Ond screw
propeller. The papers of that section
give an account of a recent trial trip
that seems to have met the claims made
for the boat. 1t is SO light and yet SO
strong that it is believed that. should
ships be built of it, they would have far
greater carrying capacity, and can at
tain increased speed. Some anticipate
that it will yet be cheapened SO that
ocean steamers can be made of Alumni
um, and the time of the fastest of the
present ones distanced. If the claims
made for it are verified, its use on the
water would be almost as great an adj
vance as was the Introduction of steam.
Its value in various constructions
is being understood in Germany.
An order has recently been given
for twenty tons of aluminium for
| the construction of kits for sol
diers in the army. The form of the
metal used is understood to be sold at
about 80 cents pound. 1t is expected
that the cups, knives and other utensils
will be made of this metal, which will
make a material saving in weight, al
lowing more ammunition to be carried
or relieving the burden of the soldier.
! 1t seems to be but a question of cheap
ness to cause the use of the metal in
most of the tableware and utensils in
| the house. Its lightness, strength, free
dom from rust, and the fact that it re-
tains a high polish, are the chief points
in its favor.

THE CoLLAPsE OLA BOOM.

Ex-Deputy Postmaster HENRY and
several letter carriers of Duluth have
been arrested during the current week
on the charge of appropriating moneys
belonging to the United States govern
ment. The offenSe has not yet been
proved, and the men may or may not
be guilty. The authorities, however,
claim that they have satisfactory evil
dence which may implicate still other
people than those already apprehended.
The facts as alleged are that the peeu-
lations extended over a long period of
time, and that the amount stolen aver
aged something in the neighborhood of
s. or "a week. If all this is true, and
aud if a score or more of residents OF
the Zenith City of the UnsaIted Sea
have really cOnspired to rob the nation
al treasury of the muniicent sum of 25
cents week apiece, it is an interest
ing revelation. The man who will not
accept this as conclusive evidence that
the boom is over for the present in Du-
luth is very eXacting in the sort of proof
he requires before he will be convinced.

TIN Production.

A Republican organ in this state af-
fects to believe that the GLoRE and 9TH
er Democratic papers ridicuIe the claims
that tin ore can be developed in any i'm
pGrtant quantities from mines in this
country, or would not have such to be
the fact, if they could defeat it. All
sorts of people 90 to make up the world,
and the puzzle with HORACE GREELEY,
how a very peculiar sort sometimes
edit newspapers, is still among the in
scrutables. If there is any Democrat
living who is not glad to see tin and all
other mines in this country developed
and made to bring good profit to their
owners, he should be taken to dime
museum. 1t is claimed that the tin
mines in California and South Dakota
are rich in ore, and can be
worked with great profit. The prod
uct is reported to be already
coming into market from some
Of them and soon TO follow from others.
and that it can compete at present
prices with that brought from
abroad with generous margins of
profit to the owners. Ease of ac-
cess and the greater per cent of
ore more than compensate for any
difference in the wages Of labor. 1t is
hoped this is the fact. There is no duty

TO PREVENT FROST.

There is difference of opinion among
the Dakota wheat growers as to the eff
cacy of the smudge ID preventing dam
aging frost. While the agricultural bu-
reau is experimenting with the rain
clouds, the weather and other incidents,
it might be we'll to try smoking out the
frost. 1t is not by any means recent
idea. Fruit growers have often tried it
to protect choice fruits in danger, and, it
is understood, with some measure of
success. If clouds prevent damage
from these untimely cold snaps, there
ought to be similar virtue in smoke
clouds. 1t is probable that considerable
density may be requisite, and that the
smoke shall hover closely about the
crops to be protected. However, if rain
clouds can be produced by explosives,
they may be more effective and extern

THAT GOLD CURE.

In his letter in the GLOBE yesterday
the Official who represents the original
JACOBS of the gold cure for inebriates
in the Illinois town mistoOk the refer
ence IN these columns to the reported
institution in st. Paul. 1t was intended
to be understood that the system, not
the particular parties, was to have local
diffusion. But even thathas diminished
Importance, if the professional opinions
given in the September North American
Review are accepted as true. Dir. WILL
IAN a. HAMMOND, DR.. CYRUS EDsoN
and two other physicians Of high au-
thOrity III their vocation discuss the
question, rs drunkenness cGrable ?'
Each presents an elaborate paper, and
all agree substantially in the cOnclu-
siOnS. They give an affirmative reply to
the question, but are positive that no
gold cure or other medicant can alone
do the work. DR.. HAMMOND asserts
that there is no medicine. or cOmbina-
ton of medicines, which viii destroy
the habit or appetite for alcoholic
drinks" That strikes at the essence of
the method in Illinois for which so
much has been claimed. 1t does rely
upon the injections continued a few
weeks to change the appetite and abOl
ish the craving for the wanted stimu-
Iant. If it will not do this it does not
meet the claims set up for it. The doc
tor credits the regimen and accessories
of the treatment with value, and in con-
nection with an earnest purpose on the
part of the patient, have contributed to
permanent reformation. In his prac-
tice he has cured individuals with
daily hypodermic injection Of few
drops of water, supported by strong
mental dominance and incidental meth
DDS. But he is positive that there never
has been a case in which the chloride of
gold as used has abolished the taste for
alcoholic liquor. There is no abatement
of this view by either of the writers.
Still the claim that great numbers of in
yeterate inebriates have by the gold
cure treatment and its accessories been
induced to permanently abandon the
use of liquor, is supported by many un-
impeachable witnesses, and the yener-
able editor of the Chicago Tribune has
accepted their evidence as conclusive.
If reformation is really effected, it is OF
minor Importance as to the specific
agencies.

FREAKS WANTED.

Some of the dime museums that have
usually prided themselves on being like
the modern daily newspaper, on duty
365 days in the year, have taken sum-
mer vacation. The reason, it appears,
is that there is dearth Of freaks. The
two-headed girl, Chicago-footed woman,
skeleton man and all that sort of thing
have lost their attractive potency. A
genuine monstrosity that will bring the
crowds is what is wanted now. The
scale of prices has been discouragingly
low since the combination Of the muse
ums. The trust business has its disad-
vantages in this line, as we'll as others.
1t discourages competition. People are
not inclined to become bearded women,
starved men, half-monkey, or deformed,
for small pay. The museum may be
driven to political freaks.

The Republican politician halls the

benefits the farmer, but because he says
it means votes for the Republican party.

community. Is the farmer as big fool
as all this comes to? Does he never
think for himself? 1t is base libel and

A SERIOUS gLUNDER.

Senator SHERMAN has taken the
stump in Ohio, and the burden of his
speech is the currency question, and
not the tariff. This. also, was the note
set by Maj. MCKINLEY, the high priest
of protection, when he opened the cam
paign the other day with a carefully
prepared address. Gov. CAMPBELL
predicted that two weeks after the nom-
nations were made, in spite of the Dem
ocratic platform, silver coinage would
be lost sight of and the public attention
would all be concentrated on the issue
which the MCKINLEY bill has put before
the country. The GLOBE has not agreed
with him. Its opinion has been that the
insertion of the silver plank and the
income tax plank in the party's platform
was a mistake even if its position on
both of these points was correct one.
The Republicans had offered to light
the battle on the tariff question,
and had challenged the Democracy
to meet it on this ground. 1t was
a rare opportunity, and it was
the DemOcracy's duty to take adyan-
tage of it. The present situation shows
that the course which it has chosen to
follow is an unfortunate one. If it wins
it will never be known to which issue
the victory is due. If it loses, the
enemy can attribute the result to the
popular affection for the errors of pro-
tectionism, while in reality the fear of
meddling with the currency, OF dis
taste for an untried scheme of taxation,
may have controlled the voters de-
cision. The plan of warfare which
Senator SHERMAN and Maj. MCKINLEY
have adopted is along this line. The
Republican leaders are clever enough
to miss no chances. 1t was really a
serious political blunder to give them

moment you close the
deal. For the price at
which you can purchase
the garment (moderate-

less than you can buy
later, and thus you get
your reward in advance.
Speaking seriously, we
don't know just what is
the matter with the Seal
Garments this summer.
We know that our whole
stock is marked at prices
(in plain figures) which
we could sell the whole
stock in one lot at wholesale.
WE know that in many
cases garments are
offered at far below pres

seem Indifferent on this

very much on all other
lines but Seal. Well, so
