toothacbe, and no dentist within

the Rainy Lake Journal. This in
connection with the mail service to
the gold fields should be enough to
entitle Editor Bowman to the bald

In the Michigan pineries this win
ter bouncer is the latest acquisition
to we'll regulated lumber camp.
Tramps are so numerous that when
the crews leave for work in the morn
ing they take possession of the camps
and help themselves to all they can
find. So virulent has the nuisance
become that the lumbermen have
been forced to hire "bouncers, whose
sole duty is to 'fire" the tramp as
he reaches the camp. The camps in
this vicinity are not troubled with
this nuisance.
In suit in the district court, en-
titled W. g. LaRue ct al. against
Thomas Hogan ct al, the plaintiffs
allege that all the parties to the
action are interested in different
amounts in the net of the nw1 of Sec
15-59-l9. and ask for partition or a
sale of the land and division of the
proceeds The defendants in their
answer allege that the property is
worth sl50.000. They make no oppo-
sition to PARTITION or sale that shall
protect the rights of all interested in
the land.
Subscribers of country newspapers
often allow their subscription to be-
come delinquent through carelessness,
and yet feel insulted if their paper is
stopped, or statement OF their delin-
quency IS sent to them. They do not
expect any courtesy from metropolitan
papers, but the country papers are ex-
pected to come on whether they are
paid for or not. This is an unjust ex.
action. Because he is editor of a
country newspaper is no reason why
a man should carry you year after
year. The income from subscription
to newspaper is an important item.
Like snowfiakes, they are individually
small, but when aggregated they pile

A WORD TO SOME CITY OFFICIALS.

Mr.. A. H. Forgey, City Receiver, has
published another card" 1t comes on
top of columns upon columns of similar
publications from his pen, and he adds
that he may say more in the future"
Speaking of the parties interested in
the late refunding ordinance, Mr.. For
gey says, if they "are of the mettle
think they are they will not abandon
the field
After a heated campaign lasting
nearly two months, and by the
heaviest vote ever cast at a bond cleo
ton in the history of the city, in which
the advocates Of the ordinance, through
their official influence, had very great
advantage, the refunding scheme was
overwhelmingly defeated. But Mr.. For
gey, servant of the people, refuses to
abide by, or to acquiesce in, the peo-
pies emphatic verdict-although we
have always known Mr.. Forgey as a
courteous official Who aimed to fulfill
his public duties to the best Of his
ability.
Evidently, our City Receiver does
not appreciate the scope of his Office.
or, rather. he fails to see that there is
a limit to it. In palmer words, Mr..
Forgey. In his ardent advocacy Of the
refnrding scheme. forgets that h uaa

The outbreak of the revolutionary
mobs az ainst the Austrian government
is confined chiefly to Prague, and the
army had the uprising well in hand in
short order. They have way of hand
ling these things in Europe that is very
different from the American plan. Over
there they simply line up the army
and shoot the mob into submission.
The Austrian throne is lettering, but
it's downfall will not be accomplished

LABOR EXPERIMENT FAILURE.

The attempt to introduce negro labor
into the cotton factories of the South
has proven lamentable failure. 1t
has been argued that colored laborers
could be had in such numbers and at
such cheap rates that there would be
no danger of strikes and that mills with
such operatives would become very
profitable. To certain extent, it was
also believed, the employment Of
negroes in the mills would be of the
greatest assistance to the race, giving
them an opportunity to develop me-
chanical skill and accumulate prop
erty
The result, so far, has been very dis
couraging. According to correspond
ents of the American Wool and Cotton
Reporter, it has so far been impossible
to get the negroes to stick to the work
long enough to become skilled opera
tives. A mill at Charleston, N. c., owned
chiefly by Northern stockholders, be-
gan the experiment nearly year ago,
but few are now employed who began
work them A similar attempt was
made at Hopkins, S. c., but the factory
had to be moved to another point,
where white labor could be secured
An Alabama plant was to be started for
the purpose of employing negroes, but
the scheme has died. At Concord, n.
c., a well-to-do colored man named
been engaged in the attempt to build a
mill with capital supplied by his own
race and to be operated solely by col
ored workers. Subscriptions were lib
eral enough, but collectlons have been
very slow. Only half the main build
ing has been constructed, and while it
can probably be completed with the
funds in sight, the machinery has yet
to be provided for. The prospects are
that the enterprise will fall through
or else that outside capital will have
to be enlisted.
1t has been reported that a strong
sentiment was springing up for the en-
ployment of negroes in Southern mills.
The failure of the Charleston ard Hop
kins experiment would effectually dis
courage this if the reports were true,
which is to be doubted. 1t is a matter
| of great regret, but it is evident that
| the Southern negro is not cut out for
confning or skilled labor. Those in
| the 'black belt DO not seem to have
progressed one whit in the past gener-
| alton.

Congress will be called upon to send

THE DINGLEY FAILURE,

President Mckinley, in his message,
~ cording to the hest Republican au-
t!.C1ity, will continue 10 uphold the
Dingley bill, although all financial ex-
perts now agree that it is a failure in
producing revenue. The deficit con-
tinues month by month and is likely to
continue.
Of course, this was to have been
importations by system of heavy
duties must impair rather than in
crease the revenue. The plea that the
advance importations of wool and
other articles, to forestall the new
tariff, caused loss in receipts enough
to account for the deficit is ridiculous
as well as false. The loss of duties
from this source is only fractional
part of the amount of the monthly de-
felt.
But the government has sold rail
road and has others for sale. The
proceeds from this source will go into
the treasury as miscellaneous re-
ceipts." The money will be used to
pay the expenses of the government.
The sum of $1S,OOO,OOO realized from
the sale of the Union Pacific has been
already placed to the credit of the gov
eminent This swelled the receipts so
that, if the books are cunningly Jug
gled, it will appear that there is sur
plus instead of deficit in the regular
revenue.
AS one correspondent expresses it,
so long as the government has rail
roads to sell the receipts may come up
to the expenses. But when that source
of supply is exhausted the dimensions
of the deficit will loom up apparently
greater than before.
1t would be the part of wisdom for
Mckinley to look around now for
ether sources of revenue. In taking
time by the forelock and providing
for the future he may save himself
from the necessity Of selling bonds to
pay expenses after the railroad money
Is all used up.

AS TO ECONOMY.

Aproptss to the loud-mouthed claim
Of the newspaper advocates of the late
refunding- ordinance that there was no
possible room for economy up at the
City Hall, we find the following in one
of these same organs as the result of
interviews with several City Hall
people:
Some favor cutting off the board of pub
he works appropriations entirely; others
think all departments should Be scaled;
sa~aries reduced generally and all llnneces-
sary offices abolished. With this happy
view of the case it is little wonder that
city officials feel that they are in a diem
ma.
Last years Appropriation for the board
of public works for street cleaning and
repairs, ETC., hardy reached the sum of
$40, Geo. and out of this five thousand dol
lars worth of outstanding orders were
lifted While matters are chaotic as to
future developments, the city scioEls will
get together in a few days and decide on
some definite plan, to meet he eTlergen-
cies the first half of the new year is sure
to bring.
This is what these same solons
should have done three years ago. Had
they done so then and practiced reason
able economy they would not now be
in their present predicament.
So, it seems there is, after all, room
for economy.
Indeed, if Council will devote little
time and honest effort to the subject
it will find there is a very great lee
way for the municipal ship to be eco
nomically steered, without in any way
hampering the vessel, or impeding her
rapid progress. Indeed, proper econ
omy will be of great aid, and the Reg
lister is confident that there is common
sense and business judgment enough
among the members of Council to ap-
preciate this and to act accordingly.

A PECULIAR REMEDY.
Something About the New Discovery For
Curing Dyspepsia.

Curing Dyspepsia.
The Rev. F. l. Bell, q highly es-
teemed minister residing in Weeds
port, Cayuga county, N. Y, in re-
cent letter writes as follows: "There
has never been anything that have
taken that has relieved the dyspepsia
from which l have suffered for ten
years except the new remedy called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since tax
ing them l have had no distress at all
after eating and again after long years
can sleep we'll. Rev. F. l. Bell,
WeedspOrt, N. Y, formerly Idalla,
Colo"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ia q re-
markahle remedy, not only because it
is certain cure for all forms of indi-
gestion, but because it seems to act as
thoroughly In old chronic cases of
dyspepsia as we'll as in mild attacks of
indigestion or billousness. A person
has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach is oVerworked; all it wants is
a harmless vegetable remedy to digest
the food and thus give it the much
needed rest.
This Is the secret of the success of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much dls0rdered the di-
gestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
and energy is given, not only to the
stomach, but to every organ and
nerve In the body. A trial of this
splendid medicine will convince the
most skepticAl that dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles can be cured. The
tablets are prepared by the Stuart
Chemical company, of Marshall.
Mich, but so popular has the remedy
become that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets can now be obtained at any drug
store at 80 cents per package. Send
for book on stomach diseases free.
