Miners in Danger of Dying OF Cold
and for Lack OF Food.


From the New York World (Democratic).
IRoNwooD, Mich, Nov. 25.-W lille
the suffering for the necessaries of
life is great throughout all the iron
mining towns Of Lake Superior, that
in Hurley, Wis, and Ironwood,
Mich, two neighboring cities, is in
more immediate need of relief
Governor Peck, of Wisconsin, will
personally SUI vic the distribution
of goods which were literally con-
tributed by the people Of his State
immediately after his appeal being
published.
In Ironwood over five hundred
families are receiving aid from the
county, but their resources are ex-
hausted, and within a week over
two thousand people viii be forced
to depend upon whatever aid may
be received from more prosperous
communities. The laws of Michi-
gan do not permit the bonding Of a
county for poor or general purposes,
80 that the Governor Of Michigan
had to be appealed to Tor call upon
the generosity of the people Of his
State.
Ironwood has heretofore been
prosperous iron mining town Of H.
600 inhabitants. The mines here
have been closed down for about
six months and the city has inst
passed through. an epidemic OF ty-
phoid fever, which claimed 1000
victims and caused over one hun
dred deaths. -Four thousand men
are out Of work.
1t was thought that Ironwood
could care for It's own poor until
recent improvement bonds to the
amount of $4,000 were sold to
Coffin "a Stanton, of New York, for

deferred payments. The city had
also agreed to purchase It's water
plant from Hyde 4 Jackson, brokers,
Of New York. Difficulties arose
during thu neeotiatiorss AID Ifvlae (
Jackson attached the money due
from Coffin & Stanton. This litiga-
ton has resulted in the city treasury
being empty, and the merchants are
unable to extend any further credit
to the city or county.
The snow here is, over three feet
in depth, and the suffering will be
great unless aid is Immediately forth
coming. Reports from Negaunee,
Ishpeming and Crystal Falls also
show great distress in these places,
and it appears certain that fully
twenty thousand people in the iron
district will be obliged to depend
upon private aid or die from the cold
and starvation.

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 20 The
annual tale of starvation and destitu-
ton among the Chippewas of the
Fond du Lac reservation, twenty
miles South. west Of this city, is re-
peated this season with greater stress
than usual. The reservation is close
to the military town Of Cloquet, and
the Indians have usually been able
to get work, if they wanted it, in the
camps of the G. n. Nelson and
Cloquet Lumber Companies. This
year, however, they are doing so
little that instead of 1000 men as
usual only about $50 are employed,
and the Indians have no resources.

Young man, go slow in the matter
of mourning debt. Many man has
incurred debtin his early life which
has been a milestone hung around his
neck for long years afterwards. He
thought at the time that he needed
something that he could not pay for
with ready money, or he desired to
engage in some enterprise or specula-
ton which promised large returns
he expected to be able to pay off the
debt very easily in due time. But the
flush days to which he looked forward
SO confidently never came, and the
mans whole life, perhaps, was cramp-
ed and fettered by that awful debt.
Go slow in taking risks, for risks are
very apt to breed debts. Keep your
self and affairs well in hand, trust il
God, and 'hustle' and you will com,
out all right.

We may have overlooked the
matter, but as yet we have seen no
move on the part of the legislature to
correct certain section of the
election law so to allow a man, who
Is so unfortunate, as to lose his eye
sight, to vote. We do not believe
the law ought to extend any sympathy
to the man who is 50 iliterate as to
be disqualified, as that is barrier
which any man who desires to vote
can easily over come. But there is a
man, with as fine an education and as
intellectual mind as the average
members of the present Legislature,
near Weiser who could not vote at the
last election on account of being
blind. This is wrong and should be
remedied.

THE WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1898.

The course of legislation in these
days is getting to be disgusting
farce and reproach on the age in
which we live. When one observes
the petty childishness of members of
SO important body as a state legis-
lature, sees grave lawmakers stoop
to ridiculous wrangling and snarling
over simple, trivial matters more
beftting school boys, beholds the
channels of legislation diverted into
1udicrous exhibitions of chin music
and the progress of needed laws
blocked by skulking, stubborn,
partisan simpletons, he is very likely
to ask what return people are to get
by sending salaried men to state
capitals to fight and quarrel over
political prestage. The people Of
Wyoming, Montana and Washington
are paying well for body of men to
get together and elect senators for
them, to the neglect of vital interests
of the state which require the enact
ment of new laws and the revision of
old ones. How are the interests of a
state to be advanced and the desires
Of the people to be subserved, when
a fight on some petty political
question takes place at every step of
even the most insignificant bill In
stead Of discussing the merit and de-
merits of proposed measures, the first
question to come up is GLOW big a
finger has my party IN the pie?"
Some democrat swears he'll see the
Columbian exhibit in hi before be
will have republican at the head of
it. A populist waves his tomahawk
on high and shouts that certain
community shall be before
they shall have county named after
such q -- man as
Cleveland. A republican says so
and so called his party IS
and he'll lose leg before he'll vote
for that mans bill. The Importance
OF the silver question and Idaho's re-
presentation sinks into insignificance
besides the burning question OF how
many republicans, populists and
democrats will compose the dele
cation, when it is well settled fact
that the silver issue has now devolved
into a sectional, not political one.
So it goes on, and forgetting the
interests of the people and state it
seems to be the sole object on some
occasions to see which party can
shout the loudest defiance, and what
member can apply the worst epithets
and hurl the most biting remarks at
his opponent
