The report contains the following of
interest on a topic much discussed during
the past year:
"The Calumet and Heca mining COM
pany have one shaft sunk to the depth OF
1900 feet, which is timbered from top to
bottom with southern pine. This is the
deepest shaft in thecounty. Below A, 500
feet the temperature has increased consid-
erably. Above this point the increase
was about one degree in 900 feet. Below
this the increase has been very much
greater. The rock temperature at 1900
feet IA so Fahrenheit, the air temperature
about 81 degrees above this. The differ
ence between rock and air temperature is
caused by blasting, heat from miners
lamps, etc. This company also has the
deepest shalt on the vein in the county,
viz No. shaft in the Calumet branch,
which has been sunk to the seth level on
an angle OF 30 degrees, making it fully
mile from surface to bottom.
This mine has paid SAC, 100000 in
dividends up to the present time"
The report also contains cuts of the
timbering OF the Red Jacket shaft, OF the
Calumet and Hecla, and No. shaft,
Tamarack, the two largest shafts in the
county.

MCKINLEY LGuIs.

The republican state conventions
have now all been held and the dele
gates to st. Louis convention are elect
ed, and the result shows that the Ohio
man has been Saving wood" right
along and landing delegates for him
self Notwithstanding the efforts that
have been made to down him. The
New York Herald gives Mckinley $40
delegates, Reed 100, Morton 60, Allison
80, Quay SO, Cullom 9. Bradley Is,
doubtful 63, necessary to choice, 459.
In its comments regarding the con-
tests in the different states the Herald
says: "Including the contest over the
seating of twelve delegates from New
York, the title to the seats of Is dele
gates is disputed. There are twenty
contests in Alabama, eight in Florida,
ten in Georgia, two in Kentucky, two in
Pennsylvania, ten in South Carolina,
four in Tennessee, six in Virginia, six
Arizona, and thirty in Texas. OF these
siXty-eight are against Mckinley men,
but in some instances Mckinley men
are fighting Mckinley men, So that the
result will not be affected, no matter
how the contests are decided. If, how
ever, Mckinley should lose the entire
sixty eight votes it would reduce his
vote to AS, or nineteen more than a
majority of all the delegates in the con-
VentiOn."

An ordinance was introduced BY Aid.
Dahl, which changes the street dis
trIcts somewhat, making nine districts

inspection of the sidewalks at least twice

many damage suits against the city, and
makes the board of public works re-
sponsible to the council for the carrying
out Of the provisions. The resolution
passed unanimously.
Another matter brought up was the
the necessity of providing Jail for
Itasca, where prisoners could be kept
over night, as it is very inconvenient and
dangerous for an officer to bring anyone
tothe East End after dark. The police
committee will investigate the matter
and see what can be done.

Let Superior Follow This EX-
ample.

In New York a crusade has been in
habit by number of associations of
women, and an effort is being made to
awaken public sentiment on the sub
ject. AS one result, the board OF health
has passed the following ordinance and
caused it to be conspicuously posted in
public places:
Splitting on the floor of public conYeyances
is nuisance, is frequently a means of com
municating disease, and is hereby forbid
den"
The Philadelphia board of health has
taken up the subject and the streetrail-
way company have posted up notices
forbidding splitting in the cars, but ac-
cording to the Press of this city not
much has been accomplished in dimin-
fishing the nauseating practice.
The Boston board of health has also
undertaken to break up the splitting
habit, and the st. Louis board of health
has recommended that the common
council adopt an ordinance forbidding
splitting in public halls, theatres, Hobbies
of hotels, street cars and churches. In
Brooklyn some women are making a
personal effort by approaching any
man they may see splitting in public and
asking him politely to abandon the
habit.
1t is time for women, the board of
health, the council, or somebody in
Minneapolis to undertake an anti-ex-
pectoration crusade here. The filth
ness of the habit is not the only objec-
ton to it. 1t is a positive detriment to
public health. Some men claim that
the spit soon dries up and becomes
harmless, but this is contrary to the
teaching of bacteriologists. The breath
ing of the vile effluva arising from it
when in its liquid state cannot fail to be
deleteriOus, and when it is dry it is
caught up by the wind and the disease
germs it may contain more widely dis
seminated and breathed into human
lungs.
On crowded business streets, if the
habit cannot be stopped, gigantic recep-
tacles or spitoons ought to be placed at
the edge of the sidewalk and every per-
son who expectorates on the sidewalk
instead of in such receptacles should
be arrested and fined. In this way one OF
the most conspicuous nuisances growing
out of the habit might be abated.-Min-
neapolis Tribune.

Democratic EinancierIng.

Secretary Carlisle's annual report,
submitted to Congress on the 10th of
last December said "the situation does
not require any legislation FOR raising
additional revenue at this time" With
in a month of the submission of this re-
port the administration was negotiating
a new 500, 900 loan. though its pre-
yious borrowing upon interest bearing
securities had aggregated Sl62, 3l5 400.
With characteristic faulty the Demo
Gratis in Congress stood by the Demo-
cratic administration and refused to vote
for the Republican emergency measure
to increase the revenue. But each sue
cessive report of the condition of the
national finance bears new testimony to
the unreliability of the official forecast
of Secretary Carlisle.
In this report of December, 1894, Sec
rotary Carlisle estimated that the Gus
toms receipts for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1896, would be SlS5, 900, 900.
At the present moment they are $780,
100000 short of that amount, and the
prospect is that the shortage under this
head at the close of the fiscal year will
be $25 100000. He estimated that the
internal revenue receipts would be
$4,000 900. They at present amount
to $l27 100000, and will fall short not
less than 81 100000 for the year. Sec
rotary Carlisle predicted that the net
result of the fiscal operations of the
year would be surplus of SIS, 100000
Not only will there be no surplus, but
there will be a deficit of $50, 000, 900
So much for the sagacious foresight OF
the Democratic secretary of the treas.
ury.
The deplorable state of things is the
natural outcome of the repeal of Repub.
lican legislation and the passage of the
Wilson law. a Washington dispatch
is authority for the statement that the
total deficiency since the Wilson law
went into operation twenty months and
eighteen days ago is over SS5, 900 600
| and the total expenditure in excess o.
receipts since the Cleveland administra
! ton came into office is in round mum

Jefferson and Lincoln.

On the occasion of banquet given in
honor of Mr.. Joseph Jefferson at
Chicago Friday May i, the eminent
comedian related an incident in the
life of Abraham Lincoln which has for
some reason escaped mention among
the many good things that have been
told OF the martyr president The in
cident is 4 particularly characteristic act
of Mr.. Lincoln and illustrates the real
character of the man who performed
the act without any prospects whatever
of reward. The story is briefly told
in Mr.. Jetterson'S own words as quoted
by the Chicago Sunday Inter Ocean as
follows:
My father was an itinerant manager
and not only does Chicago but the state
of Illinois interest me, as had many Of
mp hard struggles here. l remember

We arrived in Springfield a religious re-

no telegraph to send messages to your
friends, you can imagine what it must
have been, very painful situation, and
when we were in that situation we were
denied the privilege of acting in the
city. When we were in this condition
a young lawyer came forward ana said

council and see if l cannot get your
