The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1894-03-24
TIME FOR JUSTICE.

The last issue OF THE DIAMOND Dull
portrayed fearful condition of munich
pal matters in the young village of Crys-
tai Falls. That village Is scarcely four
years old and already has nm indebted
ness OF $40, 900 with coupon interest re-
manning unpaid Of $500. That is n
fearful debt for a young village like Crys-
tai Falls TO carry. with comparatively
nothing To show for il. There evidently
has been n screw loose somewhere, and
THE DIAMOND Dull, to n certain extent,
is responsible for the screw being loose.
In the past that paper has been n willing
tool in support OF everything that was
vicious and corrupt, not only in munich
pal but also in county affairs, and it's
doleful cry now is like unto the man who
locked his stables after his horse had
been stolen. Had The Dahl several
years ago come out fearlessly Tor what it
honestly believed was right in the con-
duct OF municipal affairs il is sale To say
that Crystal Falls today would not be
grooming under an indebtedness OF over
$40, 900. THE DRILL, however, is to be
complimented for it's fearless expose 81
tho mismanngment OF municipal affairs
although somewhat tardy, and IL Is
hoped that in tho future il will lend its
influence To- AN economical and honest
discharge ot duties, not only in munich
pal bss also ia county affairs. Let the
good work 90 ON Iron County Reporter.
1t is high time the Iron River
Reporter acquainted itself with a
proper sense OF justice. Ii THE
DIAMOND DRILL is Ito be com
plimented for its expose of mis-
management" the Reporter
should not enwrap its compli-
nentary remarks in the wet rag
Of, "had the DRILL several years
ago came out fearlessly for
right, etc"
Mr.. O'Brien knows that the
present editor OF THE DIAMOND
DRILL assumed his position on
May /, 1893 and that prior to
that time he was in no way re-
sponsible for the policy OF the
sheet, editorially or financially.
We crave no fulsome fattery for
performing our plain and simple
duty, but whom Mr.. O'Brien
elects TO compliment Us, he
should give us Justice, at all
hazards. The DIAMOND DRILL,
under its present management,
has never endorsed the methods
of the village government, but
withheld its exposure until the
opportune moment for correction
arrived. On the eve of an cleo
ton, the matter was thoroughly
aired and a general turn down
resulted. We believe we have
acted discreetly in the village
matter and should not be held
responsible for all the ills to
which the village was heir prior
TO our editorial birth. What say
you, Pat!

OUR news columns today con
tain an unenviable expose OF
official corruption in the township
of Iron River in which Superyis-
or Mincl1ler is tho leading figure.
Our contemporary in the west
side OF the county has long called
for reform i'm county affairs.
The Reporter is probably aware
that the county is managed by
the board Of supervisors and
that the board of supervisors Is
composed OF the supervisors
from the several townships Of
the county. Mr.. Minckler is a
candidate for reelection, we are
informed. He is n corrupt Off

Will the Reporter allow this
matter TO pass unnoticed and
thereby contribute TO the re-elec-

county board whom IL knows to
be corrupt We need not wait
for reply. The Reporter cannot
Afford to sacrifice its reputation
as a reform sheet by refusing 10

BLACK PLATES.


atoms were resumed at the South
Chicago rolling mill of the I'LL
nois Steel company. A manu-
featuring resumption in the face
of the infamous Wilson bill af-
forded the dishonest Chicago
Herald an opportunity to renew
with increased vigor it's oft-re-
peated and now hackneyed rot
about the Wilson bill and the
workingman's prosperity. The
sentiment was depicted in a car
toon. representing the capitalist
pointing with significance to a
sign placarded upon the South
Chicago rolling mill, and attract
ing the attention of n working
man thereto. The sign bore the
inscription: I'VE resume today.
The end of McKinleyism is
near" On the following morn
ing the Chicago Inter Ocean
took the wind from the Herald's
sails by reproducing the cartoon
and explaining that while the
resumption had taken place and
the end OF McKinleyism was near
at hand the workingman had no
reason for loud thanksgiving.
Wages in all departments have
been reduced forty per cent. and
adjusted on a sliding scale to be
further reduced 10 tho level of
foreigners after the tariff reduc-
tons proposed shall have become
operative. Our mammoth con-
temporary, however, neglected
10 mention very important
feature OF the South Chicago
resumption. Our Democratic
friends have wasted q deal of
wind in telling us since the en-
action OF the Mckinley law that
no such industry rs that OF tin
and terno plate making existed
in this country; that the tariffs
levied on tin and terne plates by
that law were method OF sys-
tematic robbery Of the consumers
and all the weird trade about
the poor mans dinner pail. Now
the South Chicago rolling mill
has been reopened, giving en-
ployment 10 q large force OF men.
The entire capacity of the works
Is being devoted and will be for
Some time TO come TO the manu-
facturo OF black plates for tin
ming purposes, the company
having received an order for
100000 tons OF this material.
Six hundred thousand tons means
q good many thin black plates,
reader, and places the stamp OF
falsity upon the Democratic
statement that not pound Of
black plates are manufactured
in this country; that few
pounds OF the black plates and
tin metal are imported and dipped
by man and a boy somewhere
down in Ohio and proclaimed an
industry by the awful Republi-
cans. Local readers who doubt
the veracity of this statement
need only to call upon Supt.
Frank Scadden, OF this city, who
visited the works this week and
received his information from
President Gardner. Of the Illinois
Steel Company. AS TO the re-
sumption under the tariff agita-
ton, il will be noted that wages
have been adjusted TO meet all
exigcncies. Should the Wilson
bill become law, the manufac-
ture OF black plates will continue,

Retrospective and Prospective.

For a season that nobody expect
ed good results, the one just closing
has not been 50 bad after all. Those
who really cared for employment
hereaboats have been engaged at
something, and there has not been,
nor is there in prospective, any |
actual suffering from want.
The various surrounding mines
have, in general, produced some
thing. Owners and lessees have
been enabled to stock up in good
shape for the winter, really better
than last season. Fully twenty
different corps have QUILTED and
are at work in the region directly
tributary to Ketchuin. All will
show up with some product in the
spring.
Our teamsters and packers have
been actually driven with work all
season, right up to the close. There
are few idle men around now, prob
ably less than ever before. o.
course our population has dimin-
ished, bot mainly in the line OF
non producers. A very few might
still be spared.
There has been upwards Of three
hundred tons Of ore marketed here
and shipped hence, and all pro
duced in this immediate vicinity
No Custer county product has been
brought in this season. This thres
hundred tons of ore, be 1t remem
