ALMOST a PARADOX.

The longest way around is sometimes
the shortest way. Some years ago TWO
English ships were repairing a telegraph
cable near Bombay. The two ships We're
but half mile apart, one OF them hold
ing the shore end OF the cable in close
communication with Bombay. the other
having the sea end. which was connected
with Alden. 1t became necessary for the
two ships TO communicate with each
other. This was done by one of them
telegraphing TO Bombay and thence Il
Alden, and the other from Alden around
TO Bombay. Thus as a speedy means OF
sending messages a half mile they We're
sent around by route nearly 1000 miles
in length.

ShinsIlu Maru DEPARTS.

At G n. m, Saturday the Shinshu
Maru weighed her anchors and left for
Japan with her 449 rejected Japanese
laborers aboard. All along the whar-
YES were their friends saying good
bye and keeping UP a constant chat
ter. until the steamer got out beyond
the lighthouse. There was nothing at
all exciting in this return home of the
rejected japanese. Congregated
around the rail of the forecastle head,
they laughed and waived their adieus
as if nothing disagreeable had hap
pened.

winch WOrQ seems TO nave Do0il
eliminated from his conscience
dictionary the same evening he
lost the city attorneyship. 1t is
good business policy to have a
little of both. The excuse further
says:
eve want it distinctly under
stood that this is no sense an &C.
ton against the city of Ely. The
city's interests are really the same
as that of the plaintiff, and should
the plaintiff succeed in his action
he would gain nothing except
what he would gain in common
with every other tax payer, except
his costs expended therein. The
sole object Of this action is to pre-
vent the squandering of public
funds"
In the above we will differ with
his nibs. He will gain consider
able more than his modesty(D al
lows him to state. He will gain
reputation, even if it be one of
these shady ones. He will put
himself on record as being "the
tax payers' of Ely. No other per-
son in the city has said anything
about the enormous expense" in
cured by the Mrs. Schaefer con-
tract during the past year, neither
has anyone made q howl about the
clerks salary. In fact, many have
remarked that the clerkship was
the only underpaid Office in the
city. The first city council of the
city recognized this latter fact and
remedied it by allowing the clerk
$3.50 q year for the clerkship and
$3.50 a year for other work. Some
people may not believe it but it is
nevertheless q fact that some days
the clerk is required to do more
work in one day than Mr.. West
colt did during the whole year he
held the Office of city attorney.
This same amount was paid to
every clerk preceding us and Mr..
Westcott has resided here four or
more years. Strange he did not
see this before. He could have
earned the everlasting gratitude
of the citizens by cutting down the
salary of the already underpaid
clerk. Another gain he will make
and the one that will E'tickle" him
more than any will be the victory
he will gain over the Schaefers,
whom. in his mind, he already sees
trudging out of town, and here is
the whole key to the situation.
Let it go as it will. We are
still doing GOOD job work at re-
markably low prices and the
MINER continues to spread the
news at 50 per year. We must
work for our money, but are think
ing seriously of opening up q law
office and then making arrange
ments with an attorney in Duluth
to handle our cases. All we need
to start is a copy of the 1887 ses-
sion laws and we wish some one
would pay their subscription.

SOFT SOAP Is IT?


of the Times, makes q faint at
tempt to excuse himself for the
Injunction mess he put his foot
into last week, with the following
which savors much of a soft,
mushy commodity used for re-
moving dirt. He says:
''Our position in this matter is
simply that of tax payer and we
ask no relief except such as will
benefit all other taxpayers of the
city as we'll. 1t is now about four
months since the matters COM
planned of in this action occurred
and heretofore we have contended
ourselves with mildly roasting the
city fathers for their wrongful
actions, thinking it just possible
that conscience smitten, they
might undo the wrong. But our
gentle chidings" bore no fruit.
1t was vain hope. The seed fell
on barren ground, so we conclud-
ed, as kind of midsummer rec
reation, to submit the matter to
that eminently worthy man and
citizen, Judge j. D. Ensign, with
results as above recorded.
Right wrongs no man" and al
though the amount of money in
volved in this case, being wrong
fully diverted into wrongful chan
nels, is not large, still the prin-
cipal is just the same.''
Opinions in the Uranium of our
friend the Times are constantly on
the change. Last fall during the
political squabble, the Times
did not think much of Judge En-
sign. But it is different now. The
head on this article will give you
some idea why.
In the last paragraph of the
above quoted clipping lies the
whole secret of the proceedings
begun. The money ''being wrong
fully diverted into wrongful chan
nels" is where the hitch comes in.
Had the council listened to the
silvery jingle offered by some one
well known, and this some one had
secured what he could neither beg
nor buy, the money would have
been rightly diverted. The rec
ords Of the city are open for in
spection and anyone who wishes
can see how much money has been
'swrongfully diverted during the
four months since our neighbor
lost the city attorneyship' for it is
very evident that before that time
the money was rightly and legally
diverted. The channel spoken of
was the right channel up to the
time the MINER struck town and
year thereafter-it led to the
Times Office. When the council
dug a new channel and saved the
city considerable money thereby,
it became wrongful channel"
and according to his higness, ''the
taxpayers" should be stopped up
and the old channel re-opened.
s'Live and Let Live is q good
motto but our friend has advocated
the principles of the dog-in-th the
manger policy for such a length
of time until he is imbued with the
spirit of ''If | cannot get all my
self, no one shall have anything"
He also says something in the
last line about the principal. y
Of course, everyone who is &C
quainted with him knows it is the
principal he is after and not prin-
clple which he holds up as his
motive. There is no doubt in our
minds but what principal is a good
thing to have in any kind of bust
ness, especially the newspaper
business, it sort of helps to keep
up the interest you know-some-
times 10 per cent. But, in get
ting after the ''principal'' of the
affair, he evidently forgets that
there is such thing as principle,

AS DICkENS KNEW THEM.

Detectives and police were then under
separate administrations, and detectives
Were called upon only when the police
made n failure OF n case. Any one VINO
was willing tn pay the cost anywhere in
the United Kingdom had the right TO
call for detective from Scotland Yard,
howevr. and IL was by no means unusual
for members Of this famous group OF de-
tectives to be sent outside of the Queen s
domain. At present u Scotland Yard de-
teCtiye is not permitted TO leave London,
except on rare occasions.
IL was from this ola force that Dickens
gat atnered material for tho detective
sketches which first made him famous
Inspector Weld. "a man Of portly pres.
ence, with a ar9e. moist knowing eye, a
husky voice and habit Of emphasizing
his conversation by the aid of a corpulent
forefinge;. which was in constant juXtap-
ositiol with his eyes or nose, was in
reality, Inspector Fio!d, whose memory
is still green. Field was also the Crigi-
nal Of Inspector Bucket. in "Bleak
House" Inspector Stalker one of Dick
ems character was Inspector Walker in
real life.
There are many mon still on the fJrce
who remember Thornton, the man whom
Dickens changed 20 Dorrton, the ser
geunt famous for pursuing the induc-
tive process and, from small beginnings
working op from clue TO clue until he
bags his man. Sergt Mith. who told
the butchers story at tho detective party
in the office of tho Household Words, is
Sergt smith, still aiive and hearty. 10
this day he seems qualified TO play the
part of butchers bov in order to spy
upon receivers of stolen goods, ana one
can understand that 'even while he
spoke Pa became the greasy. sleepy. silly,
