A Remarkable Man.

There is a real novelty in the Won
der line in Wisconsin. A carefully pre-
pared newspaper article is published
from Grantsburg, Burnett county,
which tells of an astonishing discov-
cry of copper veins in the county be-
tween Atlas postofTice, in Polk county,
and Niger Hill In Trade Lake town,
Burnet county, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. The mining company is re-
ported to have begun the sinking of
a shaft seventeen miles northeast Of
st. CroiX Falls and fifteen miles south
east Of Grantsburg, and ten miles from
the Minnesota state line" The desir-
ability Of this well-defined location for
copper mining purposes is admitted
to have been demonstrated in an en-
tirely original manner. 1t appears
from the story Of the correspondent
that the Rev. Mr.. Fredin Of Omaha is
unable to walk upon ground which con-
ceals mineral without feeling a ticklish
sensation in his right foot which
grows stronger-presumabl according
to the richness of the ore-passlng up
his body, through his shoulders, to
his left arm. If he has a wire in his
hand the force pulls him to the ground.
1t Is asserted, moreover, that those who
have tried to hold him declare that it
Is more than man muscle which strug-
giles with them, while those who have
witnessed the facial contortions credit
the claim that he undergoes great
agony when discovery Is made. The
remarkable powers Of this Omaha
clergyman were first noticed in Sweden
nearly twenty years ago, when he trac-
ed the workings of developed mine
simply by following his tickeled feet.
Some persons may not be satisfied with
the assurance that the Rev. Mr.. Fredin
located one vein twice on one mans
farm, offered him $4,000 for the prop
erty, and after his refusal to sell
company was organized to develop the
mine. 1t will, perhaps, be asked how
the man who utilities his ticklish feet
to discover minerals can tell whether
1t is copper or iron which is conceal
ed beneath Undoubtedly curious minds
will inquire what the Rev. Mr.. Fredin
has been doing with his feet during
the twenty years since he discovered
their peculiar value to the world. Such
persons simply have no appreciation
of a good thing when 1t Is brought to
them and are ignorant of the resources

Grantsburg, Burnett county, in parti-
cular.

sold for G10. Chiefly bred in the Tyrol,
round the Harz mountains and In

A man can send a telegram from

A Strike 10 on.

Against a cut of 10 per cent in their
wages, 1875, 900 opera lives in the cotton
mills of New England have struck.
Their cause is just one. They have
revolted against the greed of their EN-.
ployors and the conditions of the time.
Against the former they might sue.
coed, but for relief from the latter there
is but one help, and that is the ballot
box. As long as these men assist in
voting the gold standard of the coun.
try so long will they have to face de.
clining scale of wages. With the re-
duction in all prices which a gold
standard enforces comes reduction in
the cost of production, and the cost in
variably falls first on labor The en-
ployers and operators propose to stand
as little of the loss as possible and I'd
throw the bulk of it on the employees
and operators
The continuance of this strike de-
ponds on the amount which the opera.
tives have laid up to live on during the
enforced idleness. This is probably
not large sum. The effectiveness Of
their organization will also cut large
figure in preventing the mills from
running. Already there is talk of the
employers importing armed men to
overawe the operatives and protect
property. While there has been no
sign of lawlessness, yet the employers
are cognizant of the fact that they
have wronged their men, and fear UNI
pleasant consequences. Hence this
carly suggestion of Winchesters.
The sympathies of the wage earners
of the nation should go with these
striking New England operatives, and
4 practical support be extended to
them. While assisting them in their
contest against greed, it would also be
well to instruct them in the causes
which are forcing prices and wages
down the scale toward starvation and
open their eyes to the benificent re-
suits which would flow from return
to the bimetallic conditions which ex.

Direct Logislation tho Romody.

Direct legislation is no longer merely
desirab BILE; is has become essential To
the safety, If not to the continued ex-
istence, of the republic. A few years
ago the representative system was in
decay-now it is dead. Then we had
many bad representatives-now we
have substantially no representatives,
good or bad. This is literally true Of
state legislatures and city councils,
and it is becoming increasingly true Of
congress The former congresses Of
representatives, some honest and some
corrupt, each acting from his individual
motives, has given way to the boss,
who owns the Legislative power in
bulk, and takes contracts to jam
through" any measure whose sponsors
are willing to pay his price. The peo-
pie, enraged by successive betrayalsr
and realizing the hopeless folly Of
turning out one boss to make room for
another are in dangerous mood. The
only way of keeping their rising indig'
hation within the bounds of order is
to give them some peaceful method Of
controlling their own affairs. That is
what direct legislation would do

1t is no little difficulty that the re-
publican leaders have restrained the
House from giving vent to its pent up
feelings on the Cuban question. The
unrest in Havana. the Obvious failure
of the Spanish government to win back
the allegiance Of the Cubans by COM
promise, by the offer of autonomy, Of
home rule under Spanish supervision,
the apparent impotence of the armies
of Spain to make head against the Gu
bans, the deplorable condition of the
island which Spain is admittedly pow
erless TO remedy, yet DEGREES shall con-
tinue, DEGREES that if the Cubans in
arms cannot be subjugated, vengeance
shall be wreaked on the non-combat-
ants, on the women and children, the
old and the young, all combine to fan
the feeling in congress in favor of in
teryention to stop that which is not
war but systematic depopulation Of
the island. Every effort is made by
the House leaders to prevent questions
of recognition of belligerency, of indie
pendence, of Intervention from coming
before the House. The House shall
not be given the opportunity to vote
upon these questions if Mr.. Reed can
prevent, for it will not vote as desired
by the republican leaders. Yet the
feeling is so strong that the House
may break its bonds at any time. 1t
was on the verge of doing so last Tues
day when the Diplomatic and Consular
appropriation bill was under consider
alton and Mr. De Almond, democrat,
of Missouri, moved an amendment rec
ognizing Cuban belligerency, and when
this was ruled out of order, urged the
House to override its rules, For one
short moment there was wavering in
the ranks of the majority, a break that
would have swept all before it was inn
minent, but party discipline was ap-
pealed to, party discipline gained one
more victory. But party discipline
cannot stand many such strains, next
time when the question is raised upon
overriding the rules and recognizing
Cuban belligerency, party discipline
may be appealed to in vain.-The
