Coal.

It is well known that innumerable
samples of coal have been brought to
| Duluth during the past year for an
alysis and TO be used to interest capital
in developing the finds. Not many
people are aware of the location from
whence the samples came and although
a considerable amount of detective
work and spying has been done by ex-
plorers and Others in the vicinity OF
Tower and all the north part OF the
state, no one has been able to detect
The source of the packsack loads OF
specimens which have appeared.
The Little Forks country, lying about
40 miles west of Tower and north of
the Mesaba range, has been the scene
of considerable coal exploratory work
this spring, and with some very salts
factory results. Gardner, of Superior,
and others have invested considerable
money in explorations in townships go
and 22-the exact location having never
been divulged either by Mr.. Gardner or,
any of his crew. Thos. Burke, fore
man of the work, is the last man to APP
pear from the Little Fork country, with
testpit in which well defined vein was
encountered. Mr.. Burke makes the as
sertion that within year consider
able amount of coal will have been dis
covered and bases his statements on
the recent discoveries made by himself
and crew. He also says the greatest
care is exercised in keeping the loca-
ton of the finds a secret.
Further north also drift coal speci-
mems have frequently been displayed
by trappers and Indians, and although
1t was never doubted that beds of coal
existed there. no one has been wise
enough to locate them. Opinion gen
orally put them somewhere on the
southwest shore of the Lake of the
Woods, as the greatest share of the
numerous specimens obtained came
from that direction.

poIItIcs md the Farmers.

The February number OF the North
American Review contains an article un.
der tho above title, by the Hon. B. f.
Clayton. After showing that the farmn,
stock, implements, products, ETC., are
valued at SIS. iI2 375.o45 and one half OF
the population ls directly engaged In ag.
rlcultural pursuits, he says that out OF
the 444 representatives In Congress there
are only thlrty.iive farmers. The writer
attributes this small number to neglect
OF the farmers to attend the primaries
and 10 push members of their profession
for nomination. This may be partially
true, but u u greater number OF farmers
fitted themselves to become representa-.
tlves, greater number of them would
soon be elected to Congress. Lawyers
are selected for Congress merely becau SO
they make 1t point to cultivate their
talent for speech making, aud the people
nave an idea that q man who cannot make
a speech is not capable to act as Il repre-
sentative in the National Council. Whom
our young farmers learn TO talk as flu .
emily as lawyers, anu then press their
claims Tor recognition. a greater number
OIL them will be selected for Legislators.
The young farmers who wish to dis.
unRuish themselves should take the hint,
they should educate themselves, they
should fill their minds with useful
knowledge and leatn to impart tho same
TO others. Distinction cannot be obtained
without labor. You cannot get watsr out
OF an empty we'll, Or catch fish in u dry
pond. 1t is only through study and prac.
tice that young men can become orators
or statesmen and the man who ia not
Wiling to labor, need not blame his
