Our Legislators.

may well be proud of its represen-
tation in the General Assembly. <
The II Representatives and
Senators are all dignified, earnest,
conservative men. -
They have been true to their par
ty and their principles, yet they
have never refused to vote for
good measures, regardless of party.
BY such course they have won
the esteem and confidence of the
majority of all factions and parties
associated with them in the Lcgis-
lature.
They have not pursued the
''smart-Aleck" course of firing in
a number of bills just to sec their
names in the journal, though seve-
raj excellent measures have been
introduced and passed by them,
but they have sought rather to Sc
lect good measures from among
the great number of bills of all
sorts introduced by the Democrats,
and support them, while they have
taken especial pains to kill num-
Der of pernicious measures.
Their caucus leader, Hon. &. l..
Gunby, assisted by Messrs. James,
Stewart, Bailey and Breithapt,
have done exceedingly well in the
House. and have the confidence of
their followers and the respect of
their opponents. :
The Populists have had a respon-
sible part to play, because they
have a majority of the Combine
caucus, the Republicans have con-
ceded them the leadership, and
right we'll have they handled it.
The 4th District will be proud Of
its Populist representation when
the Record is made up. 1t con-
sists of as good men and true, as
ever graced the halls of a legisla-
ture, and is made up of A. w.
Stewart. of Grant, D. f. James
and Senator ] P. Patton of Winn,
DR.. j. M. Brown of Natchitochcs,
j. E. Billiard of Sabine, and j.
", Williams of Vernon.
The 5th District also has M rx-
cellent delegation, as follows
A. L. Nelson and S. j. Mead
ows of Claiborne, IT. w. Pipes of
Lincoln, C. l.. Gunby of Union, l.
d. Hogan of Jackson, and Henry
Breithapt OF Catahoula.
The 9th follows with equally as
good, to-wit
Senator Nj. r. Wilson, and Rep
rescntatives Pat Donahay, w. l..
Truman, and j. w. Bailey Jr.,
of st. Landry. j. w. Young of
Arcadia, and Josiah Klicnpetcr of
East Baton Rouge /; while the 3rd
gives us only one, but equally as
good, in the person of X. P. Lee
Blanc of Vermillon.
The Republicans have been equal
ly true and conservative. They
have stood by us like brothers in
every emergency, and their 10 rep
resentatives and 4 senator's have al
ways been found in the thickest of
the fight, backing our Populist
legislators.
Their caucus leaders Senator
Howell of the Senate and Repre-
sentative O'Neile in the House, are
able men, the soul of honor and
the most earnest but careful work
ers.
Together the Populists and Re-
publicans, although placed at
great disadvantage by the thievcry
Of the Democrats, have been able
by honorable and straightforward
methods to worry the Democrats
no little, and if the said Democrats
will only continue their persecu-
tons and dishonest practices, this
combination is bound to win.

the Angel of Liberty took Grover
Cleveland from the White House
in the dead of night, and left him,
ragged and hungry, in Oklahoma
City, to tramp home. Growers
trials and tribulatiOns as tramp
are most ludicrOusly related, and
his conversations with farmers
and laboring men about the silver
question are very instructive.

Another Accident Sim
liar to the One at
TamaraCk.
Happens at Iron Mountain
VIZ. q. w. Robinson ON Teaching The
asIind-Arrested for stealing
Beans

The Evening Gazette OF Iron Mountain
states that an accident happened last
Monday evening ut ~, shaft at the
Pewabic mine very similar to that which
lately occurred at the North Tamarack.
Fortunately, however, the cage at the Pc
wabic was at the brace aud consequently
the only damage done was 10 the shaft
house. The engineer, who, also, in this
case is reported ~ being a very careful
man was sgnalled to lower the cage to
the bottom, where the mea we're waiting
70 be hoisted 20 surface, but instead of
doing go failed 10 reverse his engine and
hoisted the cage instead, thereby tearing
out the roof OF the shalt house. sheaves,
exc, the cage falling to the ground about
twenty-five or thirty feet from the shaft.
The Gazette says it would require two or
three days TO repair the damage.
Mr., Tuten in his paper refers to the
matter in the following few words
Shortly before o'clock last evening one
of the shaft houses at the Pewabc mine
was torn from its foundation, causing a
terrible racket in the vicinity and mild
sensation among the employees. No ser
ious damage resulted, however. and the
shaft house was quickly replaced"
The two articles evidently refer to the
same accident. The question is, which is
the correct one, but az the Gazette can
not well have been romancing altogether,
lt would look as il the engineer had made
a sad mistake; if the men had been in the
cage going TO their work there would no
doubt have been an.awful sacrifice of life. |
The NEWS does not profess to have any |
engine eriDg knowledge, but it does look |
that ii it is possible to have such an ar
rangement as the one Captain John
Daniel said was In existence some years
ago at one OF the North Tamarack shafts
by which such accidents as these could
be prevented, the mining inspector should
insist upon having them in use at all the
shafts, or, at any rate, where men are
hoisted or lowered; but whether such an
attachment would work We leave to
Others to decide. Perhaps some OF the
mining engineers in the neighborhood
would favor the readers OF the NEWS with
their views upon this subject, which IL
very m)mentuous one to all the miners
q the country.

Mr.. J. B. Taylor, proprietor of the Tay-
Tor House, had an experience yesterday
that came very near ending his days on
this terrestrial ball, and which he will re-
member for some time to come. Mr.. Tay-
lor was putting up storm windows on
the side OF his house next the building.
A ladder was up against the side of the
building and he was at the foot of the
ladder, when large icicle came down
and struck him squarely in the forehead,
A physician was summoned and several
stitches were required to bind up the
wound.

John Venner, of the Ishpeming and
Marquette steam laundries, has returned
to the iron country. William Williams
has been appointed the local agent in
stead OF the Western express company,
but packages can be left at the local ex-
press office and they will be handed over
to the agent. 1t would look as il there
are enough laundries in Houghton county
to do all the work requisite without send
ing our money, at any rate, outside of
the county. Surely, there Is not 30 much
loose cash around that we should send
what there is to another county.

went into the saloon and not being con-

got out a warrant for the arrest Of Gui-

and he pleaded guilty to the theft when
brought up. His honor imposed fine

county Jail. Guibord paid the fine last
evening and was discharged.

Resigns,

William Monroe. who has been succeeded
by Charles Schenk "a chief OF the Red
Jacket fire department, has resigned az
a member of the department, but the
company has not, az yet, accepted the
resignation. Mr.. Monroe feels that he is
now not perhaps quite young and active
enough to give proper attention to the
work OF the department and for this
reason he thinks it would be better to
nave some younger man in his place.
The fact that Mr.. Monroe has been chief
OF the department for the past six years,
during which time he has been the guiding
spirit OF it and to whom the credit 81
bringing it up to it's present standard OF
efficiency is due in no small degree, will
