Found Dead.

Jack McCloud, an Indian, who in
company with his people went to
Tower Monday for the purpose of
drawing his annuity. returned that
evening having on board an immense
jag. The city officers kept him on
the move and he finally landed near
the Zenith mine where he laid
down and went to sleep. When his
comrades attempted to awake him in
the morning it was found the man
was dead. Deputy Coroner Vail de-
cided an inquest not necessary and
the remains were shipped to Tower
for interment. Deceased was a
brother-in-law Of Vicent DeFoe and
was about 80 years of age.

Again Section 80.

A Washington dispatch of Oct. 16.
says: Attorney W. w. Billson, of
Duluth, is in Washington to argue
before the supreme court a contest
growing out of the famous section 80
case. A patent was issued by the
United States to Thonas B. Reed in
1889. 1t is alleged that this patent
was issued by mistake. through
inadvertant disregard of certain pend
ing appeals and motions for review
by which Reeds competitors for land
were seeking to reverse decisions
which had been made in his favor.
Action was then brought by the
United States to cancel the patent.
1t is an appeal from the decree of the
lower court cancelling the patent that
will be heard by the supreme court.
Attorney Billson represents the ap-
pellants.

A Novel Banner.

The Hibbing Mckinley and Morris
club has banner which would incOn-
venience other clubs to duplicate. IL
consists of live American eagle and
round piece of canvass over which is
painted I'm God We Trust 80 to L."
The banner represents the American
silver dollar. The eagle seems to
enjoy the sport and every time three
cheers for Mckinley or Morris are
given, he flops his wings and looks
happy. The Hibbing boys are proud
of their banner and take it with them
wherever they go as a body.

Another document Of equal value
in coming to conclusion on this
question is from Richard Powers, a
prominent and influential worker in
the labor organizations of the country
and ex-president of the Seamen's
union. He writes as follows, under
date of Chicago, September %, 1896:
knowing the history of the Lake Seamens
union from it's organization to the present.
and participating in it's struggles when to do
so involved danger and sacrifice, can truth
fully assert that never in all this time, nor
at any other, has that organization ever had
any trouble with Mark A, Hanna. All asser-
tions to the contrary are falsehoods. manu-
featured for political effect and with desire
to mfslead working people, and denounce
them as SUCH
Yours truly,
RICHARD POWERS,
Ex-President Seamen's Union.
These letters are from representa-
tive men in these important trades
unions. 1t is pertinent to say that
the president of the Amalgamated
Association is making speeches for
Mckinley because he believes in the
principles of republicanism, and that
the iron and steel workers will thrive
better under him than Bryan.
And. having shown that Mr.. Hanna
is not unfriendly to the working peo-
pie, let us see who the business man.
ager of Mr.. Bryan is: He is a man
whose hands are dyed in human
blood. who was slave trader before
the war in which William Mckinley
fought for the freedom of the slave.
That is Mr.. Jones, for whose candi-
date the workingmen are asked to
vote by these men who want to work
the workingman. Mark Hanna start
ed in business poor boy, and worked
his way upward by his individual
effort and bright business capacity.
He was not left fortune that he add
ed to by trafficing in human beings.
If it is question as to who deserves
consideration as between Mark
Hanna, the employer of labor, and
Jones, the barterer in slaves, the pub
lie will not hesitate long in deciding
which is the better for this country.
In the. speech made by fellow in
Ishpeming on Saturday evening, he
called Mark Hanna a "slave-driver. :"
1t was Jones who drove the slaves,
who bought and sold them, who
auctioned them upon the block, and
who made money that he now is
putting into the campaign in the
futile effort to elect Bryan. 1t was
his lash that drove the poor wretches
through the streets and scourged
them in the cotton fields, not Mark
Hanna's. History is clear upon that
point, and the "Cyclone" would do
we'll to read the story of Mr.. Jones
before charging Others with being the
driver of slaves.

which were necessary to secure the
passage or defeat of certain measures
of great Importance to your constit-
uents, you would be obliged to vote
for this bill, but that you had already
spoken against it in committee, and
was not obliged to, and would not
otherwise give it support, which the
managers of the bill we'll knew. And
you did not further support the bill.
In fact, to my own knowledge, you
secured for us several votes against
the bill, and in many ways offset your
own vote by assistance rendered us in
the matter.
"In connection with the foregoing,
and in justice to you, / deem it my
duty, without hesitation or qualitica-
tion, to say that throughout said
session you were one of the stanchest
members in the support of legitimate
and reasonable measures, favOring the
interests of labor. You were one of
our firm friends. upon whom we al
ways relied to favor what was just
and right.

Such is nay record upon this bill.
The truth in reference thereto is,
and always has been, easily ascertain
able. Everyone who knows anything
about the matter, knows the forego-

made contrary to the truth, have
been given currency without malice,

new schedule of trips was put in effect last
week by the Riverside and Fort Lee Ferry COM
pany, about which the hundreds of wheelmen
who use its boats will wish 10 know. In the
first place it will be a misnomer to speak OF IL
as the Fort Lee Ferry at all, Inc landing place
has been changed. Two trips day, one at ll;3o
a. m. and the other at 1890 p. m. are still maze
to Fort Lee but the rest are made to Under
cliff, about mile below. This, place has also
been known as Pleasant Valley. Here a new
slip and ferryhouse have beeni built AS the
distance Is thus shortened the BOAT Is run at
more frequent intervals than before AT pres
ent half hourly trips are. made The plan oi
Superintendent Lawson is TO have twenty
minute service and he hopes soonfo establish IT,
Even the present timetable is a great improve
ment over the old one under which the boat
made trip every forty. minutes Al present
and half hour and the New-York- shore on the
quarter and three-quarter hour. r>.-t,. ..-.
1t is also to be noted that the fare has been
reduced from 10 cents to 5. Unlike some other
ferries, this one makes no charge for bicycles.
The reason for the change is that the company
could get no encouragement from the residents
OF Fort Lee for the trolley-line which 1t wanted
to build up the HILL Some Of the tracks had
been laid. From the new landing, trolley
car service already in operation as far as Fort
Lee, and an extension of five miles Is soon to be
laid. From Underciff the new Hudson County
Boulevard can be reached more easily than
from Fort Lee. A good road. with two hills that
are not especially long or steep runs between
the old and new ferry landings Soa the net
benefits to the wheelmen of all these changes
are a lowered fare quicker service, and a. shorter
trip across the river. 8.
A ferry which is also used by many New-York
wheelmen is that between Nyack and Tarrytown.
The tour by way Of Fort Lee or Underclf, En-
