Correspondents.

Some Of our old correspondents have
from some cause ceased writing. We
hope they will renew their fayOrs. We
assure them they will be appreciated.
We want a correspondent in every
township in the county, and hope they
will not omit longer than one week to
write. Those townships not repre-
sented in our columns should write us
for ter rs. 1t is a profitable and mex
penSlve practice for anyone. We ex-
pect to put the name Of every CORE
Spondent at the bottom Of his items,
so that he Or she may feel the same
responsibility as the editor. There
should be no timidity about this.
With his identity disclosed, he would
learn to exercise the same dignity, dis
erection and activity as the editor, his
services to the paper would be i'm
proved, and his own abilities in that
direction cultivated. Let US hear
from every tOwr ship.

In reading the Review of Reviews
we learned that the next United
States senate will be composed of
43 Republicans, 80 Democrats, and
six Populists. On a full test OF
strength it will require As votes to
carry measure. The Republicans
will need two Popultsts to have their
way, and the Democrats will need
them all to carry any Of their meas
ures through. 1t can be seen by
this that the Populists hold the bal
ance of power in the United States
senate. Just think oft, "BrO. Pop"

Obituary.

1t has fallen to our lot to mourn the
loss OF one dear to all who knew him.
Charles Ingram, whose life has been
crowned with the experience of
twenty-five years, and who had lust
arrived at that point in his life to be
an example and a pleasure to all with
whom he CHANGED to come in contact,
has been, called from mother, sisters.
brothers, and friends and has taken a
step further than all who remain upon
this earth of sin, sorrow and woe, to
strive against the many temptations
OF tals life. Those who have enjoyed
his association have naught but
praise for him. We hear them in
solid chorus without a dissenting
voice say; Integrity, sincerity and
manLneSS were the leaders of his ac-
lions. The thought seemed to be
thoroughly implanted upon his mind
That ones life should not be only for
self, but that higher aims and mob.
Ter actions should direct its course
Inc people of the vicinity can but
offer their heartfelt sympathies to the
"a
GRIEF stricken family and comfort
them with words of encouragement.
There is a place in that home which
can never be filed, but we have left
with us, a remembrance never to be
erased from out thoughts which
should cheer US all in our grief
Charley's pleasant face and upright
and manly actions. His comrades Of
this life fully realize the existence Of
vacancy and this can but bring sor-
row to their minds. But to the minds
OF all mOurners we desire to recall the
following lines of Bryant:
U, deem not they are blest alone
Whose lives peaceful tenor keep;
The Power who pities man has shown
A blessing for the eyes that weep.
The light OF smiles shall fill again
The lids that overflow with tears,
And weary eyes Of woe and pain
Are promised happier years"

STATE OF SUPERIOR.
Slices From Three States to Make
Another Sister.

CHICAGO, April IA special from
West Superior, Wis, says that 1t is seri-
ously proposed here TO create new State
by taking q part OF the three States of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
which will be known as the State
OF Superior. What is aimed at
is to place the three great
ranges, the vermilion, the Mesaba, and
and the Gogebic in Que State so that the
interests OF none of them could be in
jured by conflicting legislation, and all
might bc treated from the same basis.
The new State would be one OF the
richest in the Union; 1t would have
more than 500 miles OF water
front, and contain the "Head of Lakes"
hsrbor, which is the gateway for the trade
aud commerce of the entire Northwestern
country. Agitation OF the subject will
begin immed lately throughout the three
commonwealths involved.
