government blacksmith's shop were
formerly located. And many of the
Indians used to live there.
There is one great advantage of
having the school away from the re-
serration. upon which the bulk of the
Indians reside, because it then be-
comes much more easy task to keep
the children continuously at their
studies during the school terms. .
The Indians are content to let their
children go to school in mid-winter
but as soon as the lakes and rivers are
free from ice, and the weather be-
comes warm, the blood currents of the
aborignes begin TO stir. just as the
sap mounts up in the trunks and
spreads along the branches of the
trees. and Mr.. Indian has to go wan
dering around in his canoe from one
good fishing ground TO another. The
children, Of course, want to go along.
and as the Indians are over-indulgent
generally to their offspring. they
are missing from the school houses.
Then in quick succession come the
berry season. the wild rice harvest
and its accompanying carnival of
duck hunting. In all of these occu-
pations the children are of use to
their parents, and consequently, until
the cold weather comes around again.
young Master or Miss Indian is very
apt to play truant for six or seven
months out Of the year.
The institution of a regular govern
ment Indian school, on a seperate
reservation, it is believed, would
obyiate good deal of this truancy
and give the children a better chance
to acquire knowledge and the habits
and customs of civilization. 1t is
with clear understanding of this
phase of Indian existence that the
people Of Tower are bending their
energies in the hope Of securing a
good boarding school, capable of
accommodating about 200 children. and
of having it located on the Sucker
Point government reserve.

The Conditions.

Nothing definite has been learned
regarding the actions of the mines in
the vicinity. The Chandler is quiet
with only about 80 men putting the
surface in shape for the coming of
snow. The shaft houses are being
repaired and renovated and the skips,
ETC.. put in good condition. There is
no prospect OF another pound of ore
being shipped this season from the
large stockpiles Of the Chandler and
there is no prospect of resumption of
mining until after election at least.
At the Pioneer work is still pro-
crossing as usual and also shipments
are being made. Manager Sturteyant
says he is in hopes of a continuation
of work but does not as yet feel con-
fident Of this condition existing for
any length Of time.
The Zenith is not doing anything
although they have placed every thing
in first class condition for the coming
of winter and the possible resumption
of mining after the great political
battle has been fought.

DOMAIN the Winner.

The case of Richard bowman vs..
Carrie Moss, which has been fought
in the United States land Office for
six years. has been decided in favor of
bowman. Tie land is in Gunfiint
lake district. and is supposed TO be
valuable for mineral wealth. Miss
Moss fled on the land in 1885. She
was then 4 school teacher at Grand
Rapids. She found later that Dow
man was settler on the land. and
had made extensive Improvements.
Then began long litigation Dow
man was given the land by the Dull
nth officials The land commissioner
reversed this. ana was ina turn reversed
by the secretary of the interior. In
February. 1885. Miss Moss fled a
motion for review. which WAS denied.
Again. in March. she filed similar
motion. and it was granted. The
result of the review is that the secre-
tary adheres to bis former decision
and Bowman gets the land.

Indian School.

The matter of a school on the gov
eminent reservation at Sucker Point,
on Vermilion lake. is again receiving
the attention of the business men and
residents of Tower. The Bots Forte
tribe of the Chippewa Indians On the
Net lake and Deer lake Indian reserv-
ations numbers nearly SEQ members,
and some of the families are large.
The tribe is almost without education
facilities, except small school at
Net lake. The Sucker Point reserva-
ton is not an Indian reservation in
the strict sense OF the term, but is a
reservation set apart by the govern
ment for the use of the Indian depart
ment. Upon this reservation the
Indians were paid, and the school

More Republication.

Friday evening the Temperance
hall was filed TO everfiowing to listen
TO the Republican doctrines expound-
ed by W. n. Severance, of Appleton,
Mimi, and G. ]. Mallory, of Duluth
notwithstanding the condition of the
weather. which was very damp, the
hall was filed to standing room
only"
W. n. Severance opened the pro-
gramme with a very good expounding
OF Republican principles. He dwelt
largely on the tariff. which seems the
principal issue of the day and showed
the fallacy Of the free silver argument
in convincing manner. His words
met with abundant applause
G. ]. Mallory. the young West Dull
nth attorney next held the audience
with. what we term. one Of the best
arguments produced in this city in
the present campaign. Some one had
Informed the speaker that there were
"a number Of votes pledged to Hon.
Chas. 4. Towne in connection with
VIM. Mckinley. The speaker showed
plainly that a vote for Mckinley and
Towne was lost vote and prayed the
audience to either vote for Mckinley
and Morris or Bryan and Towne.
He showed with an apt illustration
where Mckinley and Morris would
help this country while the other side
would cut no figure" To vote for
Towne for friendship and for Nc
Kinley for principle would be TO slap
either one in the face. The point was
well taken and well received by the
large audience.
The Finn band RECALLED the assem-
blage with patriotic airs. The
addresses Of Messrs. Severance and
Mallory were by far the most easily
understood it has been our pleasure to
listen to In this city this campaign.

Gaining Every Day.

The Republican party is gaining
ground rapidly every day, being now
so far in the lead of the Demo-popo
crowd that the latter have given up
the fight in many states where they
have been claiming victories. Bryan's
eastern trip is now regretted by the
leaders of his party. While great
crowds went to get look at him. his
speeches fell fiat, and but convinced
the masses that they had no use for
his pet theories and free tradisms
Bets are being made in New York
that the state will give Mckinley
200. 900 over Bryan, and bets on the
general result cannot be obtained at
any less odds than three to one on
Mckinley. The bookmakers say it
will not be many days before they
will have TO raise the odds five to one
This shows the feeling of the betting
men OF the east. vino are keeping a
very close watch on all the talkeG-of
doubtful states, and who are bright
enough TO learn how public sentiment
is shaping
Mckinley will sweep the country as
mighty wave, and when it has
passed over there will not be veStige
left of the boy orator OF the Platte.
Indeed. it may be hard to find the

to free coinage Of silver. The same
remark applies to Towne. In addition
to the quotation above. here is another
from that same speech "Restora-
tion Of silver impossible without the
cooperation of Europe. / believe.
then. if Germany were to remonetize
silver and the Kingdoms and states of
the Latin Union were to reopen their
minis, silver would at once resume its
former relation with gold"
Mr.. Blaine advocated silver dollar
of As grains standard silver, not 4l24.
He wanted the silver in silver dol
lar to be worth gold dollar, We're
he alive today and advocating free
coinage of silver, his silver dollar
would have about 80 grains.
The Times quotations from Mr..
Blaine's speech are dishonest and
garbled as are the other quotations
it makes. The whole scheme of free
coinage of silver at l6 TO l is dishonest.
Ii they want more silver money in
circulation, why do they not advocate
the purchase of silver bullion by the
United States at the market price and
coin it? The q. S. government and
the Republican party are pledged TO
maintain the parity of all gold and
silver dollars. some coo, 900, coo of each
which have been coined under the
laws of the u. S. But we cannot
maintain that parity unless we can
control, the entire operation of the
coinage laws by limiting the coinage
of silver That ought to be plain to
any thinking. reasoning man.
Messrs. TowHe and Bryan say that
with free coinage Of silver, an ounce
of silver will be worth sl.29, of course
it viii if measured in silver dollars:
but at that time what will gold
dollar be worth? A gold dollar will
be worth 1874 as measured in silver
dollars, and they cannot dispute this
statement. Secretary Carlisle in a
recent circular bears out this opinion.
Towne, Bryan and the editor all fail
to show, except in giittering general
titles, how free coinage of silver at
I6 to l will help the laboring man.
1t will raise prices. so they claim, Of
necessities of living, but even Towne
forgot, when in Ely, to promise raise
of wages.
Remember. voters of Ely, vote
for free coinage is vote for tariff for
revenue only, which will never raise
your wages, as you know by experience.
Free coming Of silver at Is to / will,
precipitate panic and hard times,
which as compared with '93 will be a
tornado compared with a zephyr, as
has been said recently. How? In
this way. Everyone holding a note
or other paper, at home or abroad,
viii enforce payment, instantly for
fear he must soon take deprecated
money in payment. Then there will
be the biggest scramble for money
ever known, panic and industrial
paralysis will follow. from which we
cannot expect to rally for years.
Now, Mr.. Times, please confine
yourself TO correct figures, honest
quotations and reasonable arguments
and see where you land. Do not kill
the goose that lays the golden egg.
Yours,
II. B. STURTEvANT.

Pied Piper OF Bamelin STYLE.

Pied Piper OF Bameiin style.
New York, Jan. IA special to the
World from Havana, says: General
Campos is operating against Gomez's
flying column in Pinar Del Rio with
three heavy columns of infantry, num-
bering not less than 1900 men. Behind
these bodies, which proceeded west
ward over three routes, is a reserve of
about 5000 infantry, which is also ad-
vancing.
The deficiency of cavalry is a very Sc
rious drawback to the Spani2rds. They
are in pursuit of a mounted enemy,
and although the Spanish infantry are
wonderful marching men and their
willingness is astonishing, they cannot
when they reach the proximity of their
adversaries, maintain the rapidly o.
movement of the latter.
The peasantrv Of Havana and Pinar
Del Rio provinces are not warlike. They
are a gentle, pleasure-loving people,
and the presence of the marching col
umnS has caused terror throughout the
two provinces. The burning of Gabri-
ell and Guira completed the consterna-
ton. They would follow Gomez in
large numbers if he would permit them
to do so, not so much from any real
understanding OF the revolution, but
from the hypnotism his presence has
created. He is like the piper Of Ham,
elm to these ignorant, inOnenSive peo-
pie.
There is great deal of criticism of
some of the Spanish commanders. Ger
tain ones are picked out for unmerciful
comment 1t is charged that they are
not supporting General Campos, and
that they disapprove of his humane
policy.

here are to the effect that General Go

General tMaceo then countermarched 10

the fact that insurgents have decided to
remain in Matanzas will operate to the
disadvantage Of the troops and in favor

The plan of the Spaniards at the pres

centration and combination. but the
nature of the country in MatanZas Will
not apparently allow the movement Of
large forces in pursuit of quick, active
enemy with light flying columns like
those at the present time operated by
the Cubans.
General Aldecoa met General Gomez
on plantation in the MiroSa district in
the vicinity of Quivican. The insur-
gents instantly retreated TO the San Au-
gustin plantation. Colonel Galvis then
attacked the left flank and took the pO-
sition. The insurgents again effected
another retreat with a numerous loss.
The loss of the Spanish amounted to

The government has now decided to
make an extensive requiStion for horses
