A new school house, to be
called the Cleveland, is soon to
be erected on St. CrOix avenue.
A mandamus suit is soon to
be instituted against the st.
Paul & Duluth and other rail-
roads to compel the immediate
construction of the Garfield
avenue viaduct.
Quite number of men are
being put to work in the woods,
but they are being shipped from
the Twin cities. Although Du-
luth is full of idle men 30 and
60 day are being brought up
from below and sent out over
the Duluth & Winnipeg to
Swan river and other places.
Why this discrimination against
Duluth workingmen?
Are these the Mckinley times
ourrepublican friends promised
us? The prevailing wages for
men i'm the lumber camps used
to be $12 and SIS per month.
This winter the figures are So
and $40, and if the local talent
don't jump at the chance
men are imported from else
where.

In this year of grace 1896 and
almost at the latter end, too
the census bureau informs us
that in 1890 there were :unem-
ployed. throughout the entire
census year, the equivalent OF
1892 persons, representing
a total of 5 per cent. Either
the figures are VIGOROUSLY un-
derestimated or the number of
unemployed, during the six
years of gold buggery that has
interviewed, has grown enor-
mously. The facts are, and every
one at all familiar with cOndi-
tons among workingnen will
recognize them at a glance,
that the United States census,
on this question at least, is "the
biggest fraud on earth.' Not
one man in twenty, interviewed
by the census taker, was even
questioned intelligently as to
what proportion of the time he
was unemployed during the
year preceding. The admins
tration was interested in max
ing the people seem as pros
perpous as possible, and, if any
data was collected at all, it was
under such circumstances as
would show result favorable
to the party in power.

A CERTAIN CONTINuENCy.

Gold Men May Withdraw from the Conven-
 tion and Have Ticket
 CHICAGO, July 2.-There is a contin. gency under which the gold minority in the democratic national convention may legally withdraw from that gath. ering without putting itself in the DO. sition of being chased as "bolters" and under which, moreover, any ticket t 1t may put into the field might be re garded as regular" or within the party definition of that word. This is the latest phase of the political situa- tion.
 In the event of the democratic bi- metallic committee refusing to accept the temporary organization named bv its opponents then the gold standard minority will withdraw in parliament ary order, taking with it the tempo. rary officers and hold regular" con- vention. This would complicate the situation even more than a bolt of the gold men. as a protest against the adoption of silver platform.

Missourians have been informed that they would secure more votes with Stone than with Bland, and this sort of talk is having its effect. but apparently does not in the least cripple the Bland boom, and his boom and his interests are being pushed with as much vigor as ever.

 CHICAGO, July a-If the free silver leaders have their way the convention will be in session but one day.

 CHICAGO, July 3-The silver men place their strength in the convention now at eos votes out of total of go, leaving 3l3 votes to the gold men. They also claim four of the six dele- gates from Delaware, five of the six from the District of Columbia, four of the eight from Florida, eight of the l3 from Maine, one of the 16 from Nary land and six of the IS from Minnesota. This is few votes below the two thirds necessary to nominate, but it is confidently believed that these will be secured. The silver men also believe that an investigation of the contests from Michigan and South Dakota will result in adding these two delegations to their side of the column.
 Headquarters of the gold standard men have been opened at the Palmer house. The gold standard men seem to be quite confident that Hill will be accepted by the silver men for tempo

rary chairman, the argument being that the many silver senators who will be so prominent in the convention and who are at the head of the silver move. ment, will not want to turn down a fellow senator. But so far it is only a surmise on the part of the gold men who are now on the ground.
 The executive committee of the na. tional democratic committee has de- cided to recommend to the full com lnittee that it proceed in the usual way to designate man for temporary chairman of the national convention. It is not yet determined whether the executive committee will assume the responsibility of naming the mar for this place, and that matter is still under consideration.
 Some of the silver men manifest a disposition to resent the coming to Chicago of gold advocates who are not delegates to the convention with the avowed intention of influencing the course of proceedings. Voice was given to this feeling by Senator.elect Money, of Mississippi. who said: Ut is an unheard of proceeding for men like MT. Whitney and Mir. Eckels, who have no creden tials to a national con- vention, to attend it with the view of influen cling the action of the delegates on a question of principle. It is of course usual for the friends of the candidates to exert their influence upon delegates who believe as they do; but for men to come here as these do to change the views of the delegates who are instructed on a line of policy is either a piece of arrogance or a piece of folly, just as you choose to re- gard it"

tion of the rule requiring presidential candidates to receive the votes of two thirds of the convention to insure a nomination. The proposition was sup. ported in an earnest speech by Gov. Altgeld. The governor declared that the two thirds rule had been a curse to the democratic party ever since it came into existence. He declared also that the abrogation of the rule at this time was the key to the situation. With the rule in existence the party might be at the mercy of the gold forces.

This has not been communicated in any formal way, but by declarations of populist national committeeman made to democratic leaders. Dr. Taylor, the populist com. mitteeman from Illinois, conveyed the information to Gov. Altgeld.
 We will keep in the middle of the road in naming candidate for presi. dent" Dr. Taylor said. Any man the democrats may name who has always belonged to that party will not be sup. ported by us. Teller is a member of no party at present. as he has left the republicans and burned the bridges behind him. In the western states there is no democratic party now.
