DULUTH. Minn., March 11.-Deputy
United States Marshal TOlman, of Min
neapolis, arrived this morning in Du-
luth from Fosston, where there is con-
siderable excitement among the Indl-
ans, arising from the recent prosecu-
tions for selling liquor to the Indians.
Last Monday the feeling against those
who had assisted in the prosecution
took definite shape, and resulted un-
fortunately for Big Bird and She Joe
Blue. two influential Indians from the
Red Lake reservation. A SaloonkeepeT
at FOSstOn was suspected of being the
man about whom complaint had been
made of selling liquor to the Indians.
Big Bird and She Joe Blue and some
other Indians were summoned to
CrOOkstOn as witnesses against him.
While the Indians were at the trial the
FOSston crowd enjoyed holiday with
Big Bird and She Joe Blue in magnifi-
eent coats of tar and feathers. Big
Bird is a big Indian and has consider
able influence. He threatens to wTeak
vengeance on the perpetrators of the
scheme. and it is expected that FOss-
ton will hear from him in the near
future. For that reason the two dep
uty marshals were sent up there last
night with Instructions to employ any
force necessary to stop the trouble.

Indian Affairs for Baldwin.

There is movement on foot to push
Mai. Baldwin, of the Sixth district, for
place on the committee on Indian af-
fairs. The Duluth member has 10 less
than eleven separate Indian reSerya-
tions in his district, and such an APP
pOintment would enable him to be of
great service to his district. In this
connection it is no secret that Messrs.
Baldwin, Hall and BOen will be we'll
taken care of when the committees of
the Fifty-third congress are made up.
The four Republican members are not
likely to get very much because they are
almost entirely unknown even among
the Republicans in Washington. The
INfact that there are only 12S Republicans
i'll the lower house of the tifty-third
congress, out of 356 members, will help
them to certain extent as far as the
number of committees upon which they
will get places, for the minority in con-
gress is always treated fairly in this
matter. No speaker OF the house has
ever appointed committee made up
of members of his own party, and the
example set by Speaker Lee, of the
Minnesota house of representatives, is
in no danger of being followed in Wash
Ington at any time.
Tawney Holding Two Jobs.
The term of a member of congress
elected last fall commenced on the fourth
of March and on the fourth day of April
each one of the 356 members will receive
a draft for the neat little sum of S416.66.
For the same time Senator Tawney, who
is now member of congress, will draw
about $50 from the state of Minnesota.
Four years ago it will be remembered
| that Hon. ID. S. Hall, then a member of
| congress and state senator, did exactly
the same thing. Then as now there was
no disposition to object to man draw
| ing the two salaries provided he earned
them. but the Republicans here in Wash
| ington feel that the failure of the mem
| bers of their party to come on ahead of
the adjournment and post themselves
on their work for the next session will
| cost the party votes. The fact that
Messrs. Tawney, McCleary, Kefer and
| Fletcher are all new men made it so
much more important for them to spend
| February in getting acquainted. MeSsrS.
| Baldwin and Boen, the new members of
| the opposition, saw the Importance of
this and were early on the ground, and
| during the last hours of congress sue
! ceeded in doing great deal, and will
| commence their labors with great ad-
vantage over the Republican members.
| Not only have they learned the methods
| of doing business in the house, but they
| have also visited all the departments,
| and already performed a great many
services for their constituents.

MA SSACHUSETTS POLITICS.

The republicans of the Bay State
propose to make strong fight to
capture the governorship this fall,
and there is every reason to believe
that they will succeed. Their state
convention will be held in Oct. 7 in

Cambridge, a young man of much
popularity, will preside. Several
candidates are already in the field,
including William Whiting of Hol-
yoke, LieutGov. Wolcott, Attorney

CONCERNING BANKS.

During the past few days there
have been several bank failures, most
ly in the cities of Denver and Kansas
City. In most instances the public
brought on the failures by causing
runs on the banking houses. In the
accounts of the runs it is noticeable
that the largest depositors left their
money in the banks, while the small
depositors were easily frightened, and
by withdrawing their savings simp-
ly killed the hen that laid the golden
eggs. If the people had not lost their
senses few banks would have had to
close their doors.
1t is noticeable fact that not a
single national bank in New Eng
land has failed in this present string
ency of the money market. Indeed,
bankers tell us that Vermont banks
and Vermont corporations are in a
much better condition than those in
New York state or especially in the
Western states. The statements oil
the st. Johnsbury banks, published
in the local papers this week, make
an excellent showing, and both our
savings banks have done splendid
business in 1898. Every one doing
business realizes that money is tight
but there is no reason to get fright
ened over newspaper scare-heads'
or failures of banks 1000 miles away
Better times are ahead and the only
way to do is to wait for them.

towns share in the re-apportlon-
ment to the extent of $8137. SO.
The total amount of the tax,
$87,5S7.26, distributed annually
among the towns of the state,
ought, it would seem, to have some
appreciable effect on the public high
ways-especially in the hand OF COM
petent road commissioners. A two
years trial of the new law will
doubtless prove convincing, one way
or the other. Certainly there is need
enough for plenty of money to use
in this direction, and need enough
for wise heads to plan for and over
see its use.

A SEA SON OF DEPRESSION.

The business situation has not
materially improved during the past
week, but officials OF the treasury de-
partment are said to have large
amount of faith that financial better
ment is not far distant.
An unpleasant feature of the de-
preston is the shortened time on
which many of the mills and other
large manufacturing establishments
are now run. Within the past few
days reports from various sources
announce a shutdown of from one
to three days in the week, and in
some cases quite number of men
have been discharged. Uncertainty
as to the future is still having its in
Auence along industrial lines, and
this reduction Of time will in not a
few instances work hardship. The
depression in business circles is Wi616s
spread and nearly every brand
industrial life is more or less affected
thereby.
1t is gratifying to know that al
yet the railroad companies have nd
felt the depressing influences whit
exist so generally, and that the crop
reports from Kansas and other parts
of the West show up finely, proWis-
ing immense harvests for the fam
of that section.
1t is time when individual r.
dence and economy will count
much and when these traits shoufd
be cheerfully exercised.
