time of-calling the convention, the gen.
eral opinion, 80 far as We can learn, ia
that it should not be called until after
the 4th OF July and not later than the
18th of August.
1t has seemed little odd to us that 80
distinguish. an Irish gentleman as En-
met O'Lund, of West Duluth, should be
claimed as Scandinavian and abused az
! Swede under the alias of Emil Olund,
because he chances to be candidate for
| collector # the port OF Duluth, says
Bede's Budget. Some have gone 40 far
Us to call him Chinaman with tale of !,
woe, under the alias of Oolong, and it ia
said Secretary Carlisle has asked for his
photo under the Geary act. Our hearts
reach out therefore in sympathy to our
Hibernian friend, for as matter OF hiss
tory the O'Lunds are an old and aristo-
cratic Irish family, and the blood Of o
race of kings flows in Emnaet's veins, but
|renouncing the throne of his forefathera
he came to this land OF the free and en-
listed early ;as an armor bearer in the
rank of Am erican sovereigns. Since 1872
he has been An avant courier of Minneso-
ia democracy, having lived q years IN the
state. Anyway he ought to be excepted
from the kodak clause Of the Geary act.

this one item alone the railroad company
will spend ON this hundred miles OF track
about seventeen thousand dollars. This
