The result of the election in Lin
coin district, in this county, was a
great surprise, both to the demo-
Gratis and republicans, for a good
many reasons. In tie first place.
more votes were cast in the munich.
pal election than were cast at this
election. The republicans made a
effort to stop the vote going from
Hughes and Weekly, and the indi-
cations were that Hill would run
way behind Mr.. Riggs, but the re.
suit of the election shows that they
ran very closely, and the vote OF
Mr.. Hill was surprise.
AS to the district officers no in
terest was taken whatever, and
none of the candidates on either
side for Board of Education or
President wanted to run and were
around the city yesterday morning
electioneering against themselves.
The vote Of D. H. Ley and S. D.
Wells for constable was quite a
surprise, showing that these gentle
men were quietly and successfully
at work.

DIVIDE THE DISTRICT.

The present county commits
sioner district embracing the
Vermilion and Mesaba ranges is
1O4 miles in length by 66 miles
in width, and the extent of the
populated area is far too great
for one man to properly attend
to the varied needs and interests,
no matter how conscientious he
may be in the attempt so to do.
The interests of the Mesaba

past, and while a sympathetic
sop has repeatedly been tender.
ed range citizens by the Duluth
politicians and board members,
their intention to continue using
us as a foot mat is throughly
shown in the action of the board
in turning down the proposition
for a division of the district.
The proposition is still open
for re argument, and favorable
action-which is advisable if the
Duluth powers desire to longer
exercise their paternal control
of this section.

ORE BUYING LS QUIET.

The Iron Trade Review says:
Iron ore buying. with the season
barely opened, is quiet and may
be so for weeks to come; when
compared with other years when
the uncertainties of the trade
and the prominence of it's vessel
features. were such as to keep
buyer and seller on the qui vive.
The iron ore business more and
more is cut and dried. and mid
season sensations will be fewer
and fewer. Barring some Mesa.
ba trades which have strings to
them, there is little activity for
the past week. i Interest will
center in the outcome of the Me
saba situation. A good tonnage
is we'll assured, but the price is
a matter on which the last word
has not yet been said. ~
The figures show that &c.,
600 tons of ore on Lake Erie
docks May L, taking no account
of 1898 cargoes which are car
ried into the May record. This:
is about 100, 900 tons less than
the total one year ago, and tai
lies with expectations. Statistics
show an enormous movement of
ore over Lake Erie docks in the
past year-more than 10, 600, 900
tons-the best record being quite
exceeded. April showed an un-
usual. amount of ore brought
down, yet vesselmen have been
hunting for cargoes, while a car
scarcity at lower lake docks has
been complained Of these con-

IS Ir Il NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

the News Tribune OF Tuesday
calls for the selection of Is dele
gates to the legislative conven
ton for the 10th district. 20 be
held in West Duluth on June 10,
by that body.
From a careful perusal Of the
cali, IT would appear that the
Duluth politicians had seen fit to
ignor or prohibit the right of the
people Of the respective legisla
tive districts to select their own
delegates to these conventions.

FOR COUNTY COMMLysIOHER.

The name of M. &. Palmer is
prominently mentioned by his
many friends for the nomination
as county commissioner from
this district. Mr.. Palmerszis: an
old resident OF the range, a
hearty worker for aught for the,
good of this section, and if nom;
mated would make a strong can
didate. He is eminentlY quail
fed and his constituency would
have an able representative.

This Interpretation is the only
one derivable from the call. but
It is strenuously denied In toe
News. Tribune Of Wednesday,
which alleges that the correct In.
depreciation of the call is that
the delegates to the county con.
vention from the various legis-
lative districts elect delegates
from such districts. Just how
this determination is deduced is
unknown, but it is likely through
the influence of the bosses who
saw their game was nailed at the
outset and desired TO counteract
the influence sure to follow.
But even accepting this fai-
fetched interpretation as correct,
does not the call still practically
deny the right of precinct rep.
resentation at such convention?
Does it not even yet SAVIOR of un-
called for paternalism, and dis =
close the arrogant skeleton of
the true feeling of the assumed
leaders of the republican party
of Duluth against the voters of
the range?
We contend it does, and we
further contend that the spirit
of the election law has been
ignored by such procedure, if
naught more, and we assure
those leaders who are at the bot.
tom of the deal that their trick
cry is liable to act as q boomer
ang, encompassing them and
their coterie of followers in a
chasm of ignorminous and de-
served defeat.

At meeting of the board, of
county commissioners on We'd
nesday, Commissioner Dinham
introduced a resolution to have
the county prisoners employed
on road work in future. The
resolution was passed unani-
mously after a short discussion,
the words IF practicable" beirg
added. The move is a proper
one, as heretofore these county
boarders have been q dead
weight on the county.

ROADRUUSES NEEDED.

Although the Miller trunk
road cost the county a good deal
of money, it is said that the
through line to Virginia, the
only part of it completed and
ready for use, is very little used.
On the ends of the road, about
Duluth and about Virginia, it is
used a great deal, but it is very
seldom that a team or a load of
goods for Virginia or any other
range town passes over it. The
railroads continue to handle
most of the stuff that goes to the
range towns, in spite of the fact
that the road was built so that
the excessive freight rates of the
roads could be avoided by the
residents Of the range.
The principal reason for this,
according to a man who knows
the county as thoroughly as any,
one can, is that there is no Stop
ping place on the road. In order
to get from one end of the road
to the other in one day it is. nec-
cessary to get up at an abnorm-
ally early hour in the morning,
and even then the voyager can
not get into Duluth until a late
hour at night. 1t is much more
comfortable to make a trip of
this length in two days, but as
there is no stopping place on the
road, about the only thing to do
is to camp out, and few people
care to take all this trouble for
the sake of saving the freight on
a wagon load of goods.
If there was a stopping place
there would be no difficulty about
it, as the trip could be made at
the convenience of the traveller.
and there would be a respecta-
BILE place to put up at when night
overlook him on the road. It is
believed that not only would
travel increase if such a stop
ping place we're started, but
that the place would pay the
man who started it well. He
might pick out a good place for
hunting and fishing and enter
tain hunting and fishing parties
in the summer.-Herald.

NOT 80 lNTENDED.

The Enterprise editor was
spoken to shortly after our last
issue relative to our mention of
3ated D. Taylor's candidacy for
the state senate, the remark be-
ing made that our notice of his
candidacy was "a sort of left
handed compliment" While
upon looking over our article,
we confess it might so appear,
we assure Mr.. Taylor and his
friends that nothing was more
remote from our mind at the
time of writing same. There are
several candidates for the NOM
nation, and OUR mention of the
fact that Mr. Taylor had for sew
eral years held q position as
deputy county attorney for the
ranges was intended to bring his
name into more prominence. in-
stead of as an affront. The En-
terprise is not run in the inter
ests of the candidacy of any man
for any position as against the
interests of the candidacy of
another; the field is open, and
newspaper comment counts but
little before the nomination as
for or against; the personality.
qualifications and ability to hus-
tie of the respective candidates
are what count, and lif we have
unintentionally offended we ex-
press our regrets and beg pard
on for unwilling criticism.

AGAIN IN THE FIELD.

Capt. E. Morcom. of Tower,
county commissioner for this
district, was in the city Wednes-
day, and to The Enterprise stat
ed that he was again in the field
for re election. Responsive to
an inquiry as to the possibility
or probability of dividing the
commissioner district, he stated
that there was no hope of doing
so, as Duluth was solidly against
such procedure. Regarding Mr.,
Morcom's candidacy, The Enter.
prise desires to state that it has
no personal quarrel with Mr..
Morcom, but that in justice to
the people of the Mesaba, it is
directly and vindictively oppos :
ed to his nomination. We would
further state that this opposi.
ton is not confined to The En-.
terprise sanctum only. but is
shared by scores of working re
publicans all over the range. and
that the statement is frequent II
heard that should a Vermilion
man be nominated the Mesaba
not only ought to
but will turn in to a man to as.
sist in his defeat.
The commissionership fight is
in no sense a political one, and
the people of the Mesaba will
but preserve their own interests
by such procedure.
