tell our readers tho facts. This we

letter OF admOnitiOn and counsel to the
people of tLc State:

Of my fathers, and If she goes down I
will go with her. Let us all fight for
our rights in tho party.

II Senator Tillman's advice is followed
there will be a permanent division of
our white people and ultimately an ap-
peal to tho negro. 1t is Il crime to
bring about such Il condition.
Senator Tillman says "our one over
pOwcring and ovcrmastcring issue in

cy, and this under tho conditions cx-
listing before the now Constitution was
adopted made revolt against the white

The old method of teaching was the
teacher, the book, the pupil, or in
other words the book between tho
teacher and the pupil-a barrier which
separates the spark OF interest; but tho
new and correct method is the book,
the teacher, and the pupil. Books
should serve mcrcly as q guido, an out
line, in the search for knowledge, as
things OF reference and not tho residu-
um of all truth. That prince among
teachers, Guyot, said long ago, "the
pupils will not need to be instructed in
the words OF the book, but should be
sent out to observe for themselves, and
then questioned oy tho teacher as if he
was utterly ignorant of the subject"
This is particularly true of all studies
based on natural science.

of very great interest or importance, but
upon closer investigation it presents diff
ferent aspect. practical illustration
given by the committee above named dem
onstrates this fact very plainly. In conse-
quence of the inequalities of our present
postal rates one mercantile firm is obliged
to pay to the government $3S 900 per
year for postal service which costs the gov
ernment only $4,000, while another firm is
charged only $4,000 per year for postal
service which costs the government $500.
900, thereby entaiIng direct loss in this
one instance of S2S0.000.
The changes recommended to bring
about equality in the postal rates are as
follows:
First-Provide one cent letter postage for
each half ounce.
Second-Restrict second class matter, at
the present rate of postage, to strictly bona
fide daily, tri-weekly, semi-weekly and
weekly newspapers.
Third-Charge all other second class
matter, together with books, pamphlets
and all printed matter at cost rate, esti-
mated to be eight cents a pound. The new
rate on second class matter not to 60 into
effect until one year of the passage of the
bill.
Fourth-Merge the third and fourth
classes, exclusive of books, pamphlets,
and printed matter, into one class, to be
charged at cost rate, estimated to be ten
cents or twelve cents per pound.
Fifth--Charge to every department of
the government now using the franking
privilege, the actual cost OF said service.
thereby relieving the postal department of
many million dollars of fictitious expenses.
One of the greatest obstacles in the way of
securing l-cent letter postage has just been
removed by the action of the directors of
the American Trade Press association, and
also the American Newspaper Publishers
association, in endorsing the Loud bill Oh.
II. 1860, which excludes from second
class matter everything except bona fide
newspapers and periodicals., as contem-
plated by the spirit of the law, and also
requires the payment of rate of cents
per pound upon all sample copies. The
American Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton also endorsed Mr.. Loud's bill for the
correction of abuses in handling free mat
ter.
The committee asks. sis it in accord with
the American spirit of equity that every
letter writer should be forced to pay
profit of 375 per cent because of the ham
ding of certain products at loss of s7H
per cent?" and "Shoud picks, shovels,
camping outfits, trees and army supplies
be mailed and charged to the expense of
the postal department?'

AN ATTORNEY ARRESTED
NJ. v. Biscailuz Jailed on Charge Of Embez.

Attorney NJ. V. Biscailuz is again in
trouble-this time on an embezzlement
charge. 1t appears from the complaint
that poor Mexican woman, Mrs. T..
Agular, who makes her living by washing,
placed S25 in Bscaluz's hands on March
10, 1895, to be by him sent to her son, do
ing term in San Quentin for shooting
man named Richards in East Los Angeles
several years ago. Mrs. Aguilar wanted to
help her son to apply for his release on pa
role, and consulted the attorney. He
charged her $3.50 for his advice, and
she handed him $25 more to send to her
son. This, it is claimed, he did not send
and never since has.
Mrs. Aguilar has several times pressed
him for payment, but was put Off until
patience ceased to be virtue. Accord
ingly warrant was sworn to. charging
Biscailuz with embezzlement. He was ar
rested on Spring street by Deputy Con-
stable Mugnemi and brought before Judge
Rossiter. On his plea he was allowed until
2 o'clock in the afternoon to answer, and
was meanwhile released OH his own recog-
nizance. At the latter hour he was on
hand and asked for a further continuance.
This was allowed but a bail of $25 cash or
500 bonds was set. While the papers
were being prepared Biscailuz slipped out
of the court room and was off. His alb.
sence was soon discovered and Mugnemi
was again put on the trail He caught
sight of his man at Second and Broadway
just as Bscaluz saw him, and a lively
chase ensued. Mugnemi's blue pants made
a streak in the air as he rounded the Hol-
lenbeck corner and caught Biscailuz in the
crowd.
He was triumphantly hauled back to Jail
and thrown in. Later in the day j. Marion
Brooks came to the rescue with the neces-
sary bail and Biscailuz was released.

JAILER SIEWEKE RESIGNS

Failing Health Compeis Him to Abandon His
Position
Jailer Louis Sieweke yesterday rendered
his resignation to Chief Glass and turned
in his star. Louis has been special jailer at
the city prison since last June and has eff
ciently performed the duties appertaining
to his office. Only two men are detailed as
jailers, which compeIs them to take shifts
of twelve hours each, while the police
clerks, patrolmen, ETC., do but eight honrs
at stretch. Several former in.
cumbents have broken down in health
from the continuous close confinement in
the foul old building. and Sieweke is no
exception. He found himself failing so
rapidly that he must either break down or
resign, and he chose the latter course. 1t
is also hinted that Louis felt somewhat
disgruntled at the recent appointment of
Panl Flammer as permanent jailer over
his head, he thinking that as he had been
so long on special duty, he should have
been next in line of promotion.
Officer Richardson was detailed to take
Sieweke's place, and the latter departed

Building Trades Council

After several preliminary meetings, rep
resentatives of every building trade in the
city met at Painters hall last evening and
organized Building Trades council. The
fact that prosperous summer is looked
for, the different trades unions of the city
deem it for their interest as we'll as for the
interests of their employers that some such
action should be taken. The fact that
there are large number of irresponsible
contractors now doing business in this city,
has induced the different trades unions to
take this action for the purpose of assist
ing the legitimate contractors. Much on
thusiasm was shown and the council will
undoubtably do much good.

The Uuion Pacific railroad is a
bankrupt corporation unable or too
dishonest to pay it's just debts. In
return for certain obligations
which it assumed it received from
Uncle Sam millions of dollars with
which to build it's road, and mill
lions Of acres of land which it has
since sold to the people at an
enormous advance over the price it
agreed to pay. But when it's obi
cations became due it practically
repudiated them and, though pos
sessed of enormous wealth has
made no effort to pay the debt. The
we'll paid attorney of such corpo-
ration is Mr.. Thurston who spoke
the other evening for what he called
"honest money. The moral charac-
ter of the speech was in keeping with
the business methods of his en-
ployers. If truth told out of rela-
ton be no better than a falsehOod,
then there was hardly sentence

became members of the Laundry
Workers union.
A rousing meeting was held. The
ladies showed great interest in the
movement. The members of the
Laundry Workers union have been
untiring in their efforts for some
time to get the laundresses inter-
ested, and have worked early and
late to bring about the good results.
The girls are bright and intel1i-
gent and will be liable acquisi-
ton to the Laundry Workers union.
At another meeting to be held
soon it is expected fully fifty more
names will be added to the list.

were Organizer Nichols. George G.

Comedy at the Pavilion.

MONDAY, AUG. 18th COMMENCES
WEEK OF ROARING COMEDY.
New life has been awakened in
the breasts of the Duluth theatre
goers. THE Chinook" has been
playing to big houses at thePavilion
during the week which commenced
Monday Aug. 10th. The Jack Falls
taf Company. which commences
there Monday, Aug: 18th, will un-
questionably draw even larger
audiences than have yet been inside
the Pavilion.
This company was induced by
the Pavilion to stop over atDuluth
while on their way to New York,
where they will open the season.
The company has been playing on
the Pacific Coast, where the theatre
goers have gone wild over them.
All the Pacific Coast newspapers
speak in flattering terms of the ex-
cellence of their performances. It
is safe to say that there will not be
a company of comedians in Duluth
this winter that will compare with
them.
1t has been decided by the man
agement Of the Pavilion to change
the matinee days to Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday.
