Cuban Anarchy to End.
From the London Spectator.

America has come to the meeting of the
ways, and must decide whether she will
allow Spain to do, what she will with her
own or whether she will resolve that the
reign of misery and wrong resting on in
eptitude and pride shall cease in Cuba. In
our belief, America will not allow Cuban
anarchy to continue. and in spite of the
very grave reasons which exist for non-in-
tervention, she will before long take naval
and military action.

Our chamber of commerce
has reverted to its pet hobby
of bonus giving. If the county
could be induced to support a
lot of manufactures that do
not support themselves, it
would somehow make us all
rich. It is an attractive propo-
sition but delusive. The pay
ing venture does not need a
bonus. The losing venture is
still losing under a bonus, and
can lose more money and lose
it more gracefully with that
stimulus than without. One
would think the experience of
Duluth in the matter of bon
uses were comprehensive
enough to be convincing. Any
way the proposition is utterly
unlawful and only serves as an
illustration of the fallacy that
riches may be increased by
taking money from the public
to distribute among a few.

This lad out in E1enning,
however, may learn. The
others are to old for that. He
may learn that the people in
their humble way are feeling
their course toward the
brighter day and that no one
man has the key to that path
He will be glad to help all he
can and he will find that he
can help most by learning of
the people. He will get many
valuable hints from books, but
real knowledge alone from the
people he proposes in his rash
ness to enlighten. He is young
and may learn. So far, he has
given us a delicious satire on

Preventablo Diseases.

Hear what great scientist writes
more than half million people
die every year from diseases that
are called preventable or filth or
germ diseases. They are SO called
because they could be prevented.
They are derived from filth and
they are caused by germs.
'The lax sanitation of the great
cities of America causes pollution OF
the water, soil and air of the land.
People drink polluted water, breathe
polluted air and live on polluted
soils. AS a consequence they are
poisoned. The instructive remedy
appears to be alcohol. Sewer gas
and the general products of the pu-
trefaction Of dead organic matter
poison the blood, depress the spirits,
weaken the appetite and digestion,
and the people drink alcohol.
II believe the great cause Of learn
ing to drink is sickness and poor
sanitation and that is what makes
prohibitory laws difficult or impos'
sible. The way to secure prohibition
is to Danish disease and disease in
feotion from the earth. The disease
poisons are the constituents Of King
Alcohol. If they are banished, he
will labdicate without waiting to be
prohibited"

THAT'S BUSINESS.

At it's first meeting the new
city council got right down to
business. A radical step was
taken in providing a public
committee to see about buying
or paralleling the electric light
plants in town and in West
Duluth and making over the
gas plant.
That's business.
The committee is to include
the mayor, the city engineer,
Mr.. Crowley of the council
and two citizens to be named
by the mayor. They are to
find what the Commercial
Light and Power company
would take for their plant,
and how much it would
cost to duplicate it; how much
the West Duluth Electric com
pany would take and how
much it would cost to dupli-
cate that, and to prepare plans
for making the gas plant good
for something. They are al
lowed to spend $4,000 in the in.

The fault with the Dingley

depression, but in general
tending in the same direction,
the enormous wealth of the

DOESN'T REMIND US.

In the antitrust cases against
the Standard Oil in Texas, the
federal court has decided that
the United States has no call to
interfere until the state laws
have been tried to their ut

able to the constitution. Local
administration belongs to the
states, of all matters not ex-
pressly confided to the general
government.
But how much that doesn't

Spain's fiery sensitiveness
about the national honor is a
good example of what to avoid.
Scandals in their army, cor

of horrible crueltry toward the
Cubans, the slaughter of their
youth-none of these things
touch the Spanish horror But
the suspicion that President
Mckinley has insulted them
moves their newspapers to
hysterical rage. Such things
seem very silly at distance

Duluth has probably the
best council in it's history to-
day. There is certainly more
intelligent conception of the
public interest than ever be-
fore. Some of the mistakes of
the past at least cannot be, re-

the aldermen are of uncommon
virtue? They are probably
about the same average as
their predecessors. But the
people know better what they
want.

that argument, saying "be-

ONLY BREAKING GROUND.

ONLY BREAKING GROUND.
Yet Horace Greeley Made Sir William
Russell Understand John Brown.
A tall, lean, careworn old man,
with wan face and unkempt gray
hair tumbled any way on his head,
keen eyes and mobile lips, dressed
in an i'll fitting seedy suit of black,
a twisted neckcloth with the ends
hanging anyhow over a crumpled
shirt, called on me early in the day
at the Clarendon and plunged in
medias res by asking me whether I
had ''grasped all the facts of the
great victory achieved in Mr.. Lin
coins election-that is, sir, if the
president knows how to use it.
There is the victory! What are the
fruits of it to be!" candidly con-
fessed that was like man cropping
his way through wood in the dark.
'There is no darkness, sir! 1t is all
light to those who open their eyes
and wish to see." Then and there
he bound me to come over and
breakfast with him next morning.
II will let you see the light and
know the truth! I shall have pa

kept my tryst, found my way to
his room by the aid of his "help."
Opening his door, I beheld piles of
newspapers, books and pamphlets
on the chairs, on the floor, on the
table at which he sat, with proofs
laid out, something like ship
wrecked mariner on a reef drying
his clothes in the sun, but the con-
fusion of the scene and the want of
comfort in the look of the place and
of the man were speedily forgotten.
After few words of courteous well
come Horace Greeley proceeded to
expound his doctrines concerning
"chattel slavery" which, he was
careful to remind me, had first been
introduced by Englishmen into
America. He spoke with earnest
ness which commanded attention,
now and then reading a passage
from a book or pamphlet, occa-
sionally DEPRESSING to heave rhetor-
ical bricks against Mr.. Buchanan
and southerners whose names was
not familiar with.
An hour passed, and still he went
on. I was hungry, and heard no
clink of cups and saucers. After
another hour looked at my watch.
''Bear with me a little longer! I
wish you to understand clearly the
villainous Vaccinations by which
these scoundrels mastered the peo-
pie, blinded them, destroyed their
moral sense, degraded the legislature
and corrupted the administration of
the law" etc: For another hour
and ten minutes I sat, and still the
food poured on. Mr.. Greeley had
forgotten all about breakfast. Ihad
