LITTLE FALlLS PAENlOIs tSE.f...
Mayor Richardson. of Little Falls,
in this state. has achieved a promi-
hence W hich ia uniqueinitself and bids
fair to cast into the shade the dou-
BILE bareback performance just now
going on in the Michigan state arena.
The worthy mayor gave New
Years dinner at the Oldest hotel in
his town, and the invited guests in
cluded all the voters in the county
who had resided there since 1856. Mr..
Richardson's deep interest in his
fellow citizens arises from the fact
that they voted him into office forty
years ago. and have kept him there
except at rare intervals ever since.
During the intervals he held a job
under the general government. SO
that for full two score ::-ears this
versatile patriot. staunch Repub-
lican in a rock-ribbed Democratic
county, has never known wat it ia
to he Il private citizen. And IL at the
eleventh hour President Mckinley
gets stuck for an available piece OF
cabinet timber, we haveno hesitancy
in saying that Mayor Richardson
can be relied on to help him. no mat
ter how badly his ad hiring and ever
constant constituents in Morrison
county may hate to give him up.

THE TROCHA.

St. Paul Dispatch: A cores
pondent of tie Dispatch wants to
know what is the correct pronun-
citation Of the word "trocha," as
used in referring to Spanish mill
tary operations in Cuba, and what
is the meaning of the word.
According to those more
thoroughly acquainted with the
word it is pronounced as If spelt
'''trotsha," with the accent upon
the first syllable. It is Spanish
word. and, by its frequent use by
the newspapers, it has really been
adopted into the English language.
The word originally denotes a
foot path, Or sometimes 'short
cut. f" As applied in describing a
military situation on the Spanish
side, IN the Cuban war, it means a
fortified high road. It begins near
the north coast Of Cuba, few
miles east of Havana, and runs al
most due south to the south coast
of the island. In approaching the
trocha from the eastern or insur-
gent side Of the island the first i'm
pedlment met is a tall barbed wire
fence. Immediately behind the
wire fence are the posts Of the
Spanish sentinels sheltered by pal.
metto leaves. Abouty fifty yards
in the rear of the wire tence is a
ditch about three feet deep and
four feet wide, from one side Of
the islands to the other at that
place. The ditch is protected by a
high rampant Of palmetto logs, IN
front of which is the ditch or
trench. The barracks or quarters
for the soldiers are at another fifty
yards in the rear sf the trench and
rampant of logs. The huts are of
logs and rooted with staw. These
walls of the huts are also perfor.
ated for the.use of the rife. There
is a roadway all along the rear of
the wall OF logs and earth to enable
the Spaniards to promptly move
troops from one point to another
that .may be threatened. Trees
have been left standing at intervals
along the road, which are ascended
by light siron and steel ladders for
lookout purposes, and the nature
Of the::country is such that a wide
extent:of it can be observed from
the lookouts. The military sta
tionsIarc separated by no greater

TROUBLE EXPECTED SOON.
Coal Miners Numbering 1900 De-
mand More Wages.

Denver, Dec. 29.-Trouble is brewing
in the northern coal fields. The oper-
ators have received notice from the
miners that unless their wages are ad-
vanced by Jan, 10, they viii close down
every coal mine in Lafayette, Louis
vile, Marshall, Erie and the smaller
camps. Thepoperators say that the
schedule demanded is an advance of
from 10 to 40 per cent. The present
scale runs from 10 to so cents per ton,
for manufacturing machines, and from
so to 80 cents per ton for pick work.
According to the way the operators
figure it, the scale demanded would be
So to 60 cents for machines and So cents
to 81 for pick work.
The operators say that the present
wages, together with the other ex-
penses of production, leaves them a
very small margin, and they declare
that if the miners insist on a higher
scale, the operators will be forced to
close down the mines. There are 1,500
men in the territory who would be
thrown out of work in the event of a
strike. A strike is threatened if con-
cessions are not made by Jan. 10.

TRADES UNIONIS7 IN POLITICS
CRITICISM OF PLAN FORMUL-
ATED AT NASHVILLE.
What Moves the American Politician
Labor Politics In England
Result of United Effort.

New York, Dec 29.-Edward Hartford,
who, with Havelock Wilson, consti-
tuted the British trades union delega-
ton to the Nashville convention of the
American Federation of Labor, sailed
for Southampton on the American
liner ST. Paul today. Before sailing,
Mr.. Hartford said:
THE policy of the American trades
union in engaging in politics, but not
as body is stupid. How can they
expect to obtain any lasting reforms
if they hold aloof? BY pursuing their
present method of ignoring the control
of political machinery as a means of
lettering their condition, they are not
only fatally injuring their chances, but
ticians, the very class from whom they
expect to get better laws for the
masses.
Your American politician, as rule,
is moved to legislation for the masses
only by a show of superior force. Elk
allied feeling he has none. Let the
trades unions force this style of pup
pet into retirement and send men to
boards of aldermen, legislatures and
congress who will not pretend to be
the friends of the people in their
speeches, and in secret sell out to the
corporations and money power.
Things in England used to be much
as they are in the United States, but
they have changed. We trades union
lists go right into politics. We have
succeeded in making the political par
ties defer to IDS, and why should we
not? We are the majority In every
country the workers are the major
ity.''

BOSTON WOOL MARKET.
Prices Wonderfully Maintained Fol
Territorial Woods.

Prices Wonderfully Maintained For
Territorial Woods.
Boston, Dec 2s.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of
the wool marEest
This has been one of the heaviest Christ
mas weeks on record. The sales were
7. 1896 O0O pounds, as compared with 1873, 900
for the same period last year, S,516 0l0 in
1895; 2SQ4 800 in 1894: 21G6 COO in $685. 3410 QUO
in 1892 and 2,290.400 in 1891.
Hasty conclusions should not be drawn
from the above showing. The market has
for the most part been very quiet, but
there has been q continuation of the
heavy buying movement noted a week
ago in territorial woods. Staple territories
have been in great demand, but sales
have not included large amount of
clothing stock.
Territorial wool has been sold by quite
a good number of houses, some of the
transactions being of great size. The
largest has exceeded anything witnessed
in this market for weeks. The feeling in
the market is one of Improvement. Prices
are wonderfully maintained.
The sales of the week amounted to g.
33S, coo pounds domestic and 900 pounds
foreign, making a total of 600 pounds
against total of $685. 600 pounds for the
previous week
