A BUSINESS MAN.

Alderman in the Eighth
Ward.
The tendency of the American
people heretofore has been to
consider their governmental
affairs as something entirely
separate from matters of practi-
cal business, and as result they
have developed a class of pro-
fessional politicians whose only
qualification for official position
has been their ability to make
promises and then, when elect
ed. crawl out of them. Of late
there has appeared DISPOSE
ton to abandon the old policy
and inject into the adn1inistra-
ton of public business the
same kind of practical common
sense and business integrity
which has been found the
most necessary equipment for
the successful management of
private enterprises.
Mr.. Mosher, independent can
didate for alderman in the
Eighth ward, is one of the men
pushed into public prominence
by this common sense tend
ency. Mr.. Mosher is a native
born American, fl years of age,
and is the senior member of the
grocery firm of Mosher &
Knitted.
He has lived in the Eighth
ward four years and in West
Duluth seven. During all that
time he has attended strictly to
business, and has never before
in any capacity asked the peo-
pie for their suffrages. His
qualifications, for the duty of
an alderman, however, are well
understood by the the people of
his ward. He will make his
campaign on his merits, and it
is conceded that if elected he
will make a model public
official.

IN THE SIXTH WARD.
George e. Duren, Independent
Candidate For Alderman.


The subject of this sketch is
native born American, hav-
ing first seen the light of day
in the state of Maine. He was
born in the year 1858, and is
therefore about "A years of age.
He came to Duluth in 1882, and
ever since has divided his at
tentiOn between the saw mill
and numbering business, and
contracting.
In his younger days Mr..
Duren's parents undertook to
persuade him to fit himself for
a legal profession, but without
any success as he resisted the
Establishments held out of such
a career, and explained his re-
fusal by declaring that he
could not succeed as lawyer
and tell the truth-a c0nClu-
sion that will be agreed to by
very many in these later days,
and which is suggestively indi-
cative, not only of Mr.. Duren's
natural inclination towards
the strictest probity, but also
of the fact that even at an early
age he was equipped by nature
with a keen insight into human
character.
The Sixth ward will be en-
titled to congratulations if it
elects Mr.. Duren. His expert
ence in business affairs and
well-kn0wn excellence of char
acter make it certain that he
will exert an influence second
to none on the side of good
government and a practical ad-
ministration of public affairs.
Having the endorsement of
the reform league, not only
have the people some guarantee
of personal fitness and his SYM
pathy with enlightened meth
DDS of government, but that he
also stands much the best show |
to win.

SEVENTH WARD.
J. G. Himebaugh, Republican
Candidate for Alderman.

The subject of this sketch was
born in the old keystone State
of Pennsylvania about forty-two
years ago: He was raised
on a farm, and until his re-
moval and location at Duluth
in the year 1884, lived the life Of
the hustling agriculturist.
Mr.. Himebaugh's education
was acquired at that excellent
institution oflearning-the Penn
sylvania State Normal School at
Edinboro: He studied for the
profession of law at Erie, Pa,
and in May, 1880, was admitted
to the bar.
Mr.. Himebaugh has not been
one of those who have blindly
followed party leaders; has al
ways been a staunch advocate
OF principles, and has frequently
espoused the cause of the labor
ingmen. He has thus acquired a
reputation for fairness and inde-
pendence in dealing with public
matters that, though it some
times brings him into conflict
with party leaders, has given
him the strength with the masses
of the people that in the long
run is a tower of~strength in a
popular election. Coming also
from the west end. of the big
seventh ward, which, according
to the tacit agreement hitherto
recognized, is entitled to the add
erman this year to be elected,
gives Mr.: Himebaugh an addi-
tional element of strength that,
in spite Of the strength of the
opposition to his party, makes
his success practically certain.
Mr.. Himebaugh has been pro-
minent1y identified with public
affairs in the west end, and for
some years gave excellent salts
faction as Judge of the Municipal
Court of West Duluth, so that if
a. good record heretofore is any
guarantee, he will make in the
city council a capable and faith.
full representative.

Constitutional Amendments,

The chief result of the recent long SEES.
sion and extra session will be epecial cleo
ton next September ia which the people
will voteon threeunimportant constitutional
amendments The amendments perpetu-
ate all existing laws against gambling on
race tracks; give women the right of
suffrage at school elections, and forbid the
Governnr making ad-interim appoint
ments to Office of men not confirmed by the
Senate when submitted to it,
These amendments are the result OF seven
years work on the part of the State to
amend the Constitution, and over 500 600
has already been spent. During the term
Of Governor Werts constitutional conven-
tion was held. 1t was composed of some
OF the brightest lawyers and laYmen in
New Jersey. After several months OF hard
work series of amendments, relating par
ticularly to the judiciary, were adopted and
recommended to the following Legislature
The next Legislature failed TO act positive
ly, and succeeding Legislatures, up to that
OF 1896, either mutilated them or substitu-
ted new amendments In the three unin-
terestiDg and unimportant amendments
surviving the people have hardly shadow
of what was expected.

Mr.. Mckinney, it is said, is going to do
something. The tariff as a promoter Of
prosperity is not a success. Currency re-
form is hopeless. The war with Spain
hangs fire The only thing left is to annex
Hawaii.
Hawaii consists of some distant islands
inhabited mainly by Asiatics The few
remaining natives are harmless. The
more numerous Chinese can be kept in

the largest element of the population.
won't be bullied and are already too much
for the other settlers to manage. The chief
thing we are asked to annex is row with
the japanese Government.
We are also to annex the debt the ad-
venturers now composing the Hawaiian
Government have run into for their own
salaries and other expenses and to lerve
them in charge at the expense and under
the protection of the United States. 1t is
a nice thing for them and for the Cali
fornians who own the sugar plantations, but

as are his father and brothers, referring to
the fact that the trust expects to save, in
customs duties, from 100000 to 6,000,'

tariff law, points out simple way in which
Congress can beat the trust, if it desires to-

goods by making the operation of the law
retroactive. He saws
"The question simply is how to compel
the sugar monopoly to pay to the Govern
ment the tax which it will collect from the
people. 1t is a very simple thing. Mr.
Dingley proposes to collect this tax by pro-
viding that all articles imported into the
country after April / should pay the in
creased tariff, or, rather, that rates fixed
by the new tariff measure. But there is
a simpler way TO reach the sugar trust
than that 1t is this Let the tariff meas.
ure prove that an internal revenue tax Of
SIC or $18 or $40 per ton be levied on all
sugars refined in this country for the next
six months. The enormous stock of raw
sugar which the trust has imported will
have 10 be refined within that period. The
deterioration storage and insurance and
interest will forbid the holding of it over
thattime. 10 that way the Government will
get the tax which the sugar trust hopes to
collect Tor its own treasury"

The Public Ledger on Tuesday made ex-
tended comment OIL the notorious Delaware
Dam bill Eow before the Pennsylvania leg
islature in which the character of the bill
was fully expressed. Here is the conclud-
lug paragraph =
:. The character of this bill is such that
no member of the Legislature can afford TO
vote for it. II any should, the public wi
be quite justified in assuming that he has
in his pocket the money of the promoters
of this INDUSTRIOUS scheme that his vote
was bought and paid for az surely as it was
cast for so nefarious a scheme of public and
private plumber"
This identical bill passed the New jersey
legislature, and after great deliberation was
signed by Governor Griggs and became a
law. d. the aboye forceful words of the
Ledger apply to anybody in New Jersey
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1897-06-17

Toe press of Pennsylvania, irrespective
of politics, are denouncing the New Jersey
Dam bill, and demanding that the legisla-
ture of that State shall defeat it. The true
character of the measure has become known
to the people as it was known to the inner
circles at Trenton when it was considered
and passed and signed by Governor Griggs-
The Jersey law will be of no avail TO the
syndicate of New Jersey and New York
capitalists unless the Penusy lvania legisla-
ture and Governor make it the law of that
State too. We shall see whether the peo-
pie are better represented in Pennsylvania
than Jerseymen were by the last legisla-
ture and Governor Griggs

The Senate has placed duty of twenty
per. cent. on cotton, which is as needless
and ineffective for proteci ion as duty on
wheat. More than two thirds of The cot
ton produced in this country is exported,
and an import duiy Of thousand per
cent. would not affect the market price in
the smallest degree. The little Egyptian
cation hat is used by our manufacturers
is imported because lis peculiar fibre is
desired for special purposes and not be-
cause it is cheap II will be needed just
the same, in spite OF any duty, which is
merely a tax on manufacturers that can be
of no benefit TO cotton growers at all. And
there is so little of this cotton imported
that the revenue to be derived from IT Is
insignificant. The cotton duty is just
such a sham and pretence as are the duties
ON wheat and corn and the like. The lat
Ter are iDterded TO fool the farmers. and it
il only because there have been no Repub-

The conventions of the Repu blican party
never fail 10 proclaim against foreign i'm
migration, yet the first act of the Mckinley
administration will probably be the annex
alton OF Hawai-, an island in the Pacific
$500 miles from the American continent.
The scheme is in direct opposition to the
American principle of avoidance of foreign
entangIemeDts. The island is Inhabited by
Asiatics and few Americans; sons of mis-
sionarie., and adventures who, by ques-
tionable methods. obtained control of its
government If the immigrant who comes

THERE are several sorts

that simply buy as best they can
in the home markets, take-ehance
stores that buy anything and keepat
it until they are found out, and one
store that doesn't take chances,
isn't confined to any one market,
and which is always willing to fore
90 profits on individual lots or lines
of goods, if necessary to protect its
public.
Wear thinking of Mattings. First
productions for this year were not
good. We wouldn't take the goods.
They were sold, though, far and

enough alone. Let US 6rst settle the tariff,
the currency question, the immigration
question, the reciprocity question, the

Hawaii is that the white men who robbed
