ROAD YORK MUST STOP.


Judges Ensign and Cant Tues
day afternoon decided the Spen-
Ger injunction suit against the
board of county commissioners,
and issued an order restraining
the board from spending any
more money on all of the county
roads, except the Swan lake and
Crane lake roads. This on the
grounds that the county never
roperly'established these roads.
The order restraining the board
from expanding and any money
under its resolutions recently
adopted, dividing $4,000 be
tween the different commission
ers' districts is on the ground
that the resolutions are illegal,
because they delegate to the su-
perintendent of roads the boards
Office of laying out money. The
resolutions should state for what
purpose, and ia what manner the
money is to be used. The court
also holds that the board has no
right to improve roads after it
has built them, but that the
townships must do it. The
board will probably institute | r }.
ceedings to legally establish the
roads.

A MYSTERY ACCOUNTEDFOR


The DtsappearaDceo of the Curbstone Ora
tor Of 1895.
One of the passing problems of the
present campaign is the question of the
whereabouts of the erstwhile curbstone
orator. From the extremes of Mime
sofa goes up the query as to his contin-
ued absence. In Albert Lea to the
south and Rainy Lake City on the
north the question alike awaits an an
swer. He is a featura of the campaign
because of his distinguished absence.
All remember his valiant and valuable
services in the national campaign of
1896. He was numerous and powerful
factor in every precinct in the Union;
then he stood on the street corner and
with a learning and knowledge of all
great questions far surprising that Of
the statesmen of renown told of the in
EQUITIES of the gold standard and of the
blessings to come under the benefcent
reign of 16 to 1. But where is
he in 1893? His voice is stilled
in this year of grace; his
physical being has given place to an
equal quantity of wholesome and pure
air; the space once held by him is de-
voted to the uses of business and he has
utterly and completely disappeared, but
he is not dead, nor even does he sleep.
Go into the workshop, the store, the
mill, the Office, the pine woods, the iron
mines and on the farms of the great
Sixth congressional district of this state
and one will have no difficulty in dis
covering and recognizing the curbstone
orator of 1895. It is true he has changed.
His face has not that drawn and hope
less look. In its stead he is now a con-
tented, prosperous and patriotic work
lngman. He goes home at eventide
with an appetite for his evening meal
and he has the wherewithal to satisfy
that appetite. He rises in the morning
and goes to work with will because he
knows he will be well recompensed for
his days labor, and that in the best dol
lars on the face Of the earth. Here,
you curious one, ia the secret Of the dis
appearance of the curbstone orator Of
1895, and the discovery Of the happy
workman Of 1s98.-St. Cloud Journal

WHAT IS 1T STAKE,

Theodore Roosevelt is of
different mind from certain Mimi
esota Democratic papers that
do not want anything mentioned
IN this falls campaigns except
state issues. He said in accept.
ing the nomination for governor
of New York:
National issues are para
mount this year. It is not more
possible to conduct a state elec-
ton now without regard to ma
tional issues than it was possible
to conduct one in 1860 or 1861.
AS it was then. so it is now. The
interests of the nation as a whole
are of vital and absorbing inter
est to each citizen, Then as now,
the Republican party was forced
to find new issues, to confront
new problems. Then, as now,
it was forced not to follow, but
to make presidents. In 1861 we
had to preserve the republic for
its great destiny. In 1898 we
have to take long strides toward
the accomplishments of that
destiny. The Republican party,
therefore, in It's state platform
does well to reiterate the
promises under which it was
possible to elect a Republican
president, pledges which made
it possible to restore prosperity
to our country and to put the
nation where it is possible to
work out the glorious future
which is now before a reunited
nation"
The issues for honest money
for protection to American in
dustry, for the upbuilding of a
merchant marine, adequate to
carry the commerce of the world
and to form a naval militia IN
times of war, are as vital this
year as they were in the great
contest which was so success
fully fought in 1895. We further
strengthen our navy and build
up our army so that they may be
equal to any demand made upon
them. as we work out our des-
tiny. Hawaii and Porto Rico
are ours, and in the East and
West Indies the interests of the
nation be safe guarded

STRIPPING NEARLY OFER.

There will be but little more
ore shipped over the Duluth.
Missabe & Northern road this
year. All of the mines on the
line have stopped shipping with
the exception of the Pillsbury,
from Which about 40 cars a day
are being forwarded and a little
from the Hull and Rust al Hib-
bing. There are now about 100,-
600 tons of ore IN the docks in
this city to which but little will
be added. All of this will be
shipped to lower lake ports this
season. It is expected that the
total shipments will reach 2, 500. =
900 tons, as against 1876, 1000
tons last year. The early stop
ping of shipments is due to the
fact that all contracts for the
season have been filled and the
Consolidated has decided not to
accumulate any ore on the Lake
Erie docks.
Quite a number of the ore
carrying fleet has gone into the
grain trade and the others will
do so as soon as the few cargoes
yet to be shipped have been
taken out.
The Penobscot mine at Hib-
bing IS still shipping little ore
to the docks on Allouez bay.
There are no signs of a let up
in shipping over the Duluth &
Iron Range and there will not
be as long as navigation remains
open.
Next week the work of filing
in bridge approaches on the Mis-
sabe road will begln.-Herald.

III. III. MARTIN.

Mr.. M. H. Martin, Fusion can
didate for county treasurer, is
the only Virgirian accorded a
place on either county ticket.
Mr.. Martin was born liz Prussia
in 1912, emigrating to this coun-
try in 1855, settling on farm in
Dodge county, Wis, Later he
entered the mercantile business
and in the early days of the Go
gebic moved to Bessemer, Mich,
where he conducted a large gen
eral store and was for several
years looked upon as one of the
most successful merchants, but
by the closing of the mines in
'93 he lost many accounts and
suffered greatly from the de-
probation of real estate values.
He came to this city nearly five
years ago, entering business,
but through fire and the signing
of paper which he paid for
others, he was forced to the
wall a year since. Since that
time he has been employed by a
Duluth firm as salesman and as
manager of the Franklin store
Nr: Martin has always been
known as an energetic and pub
lie spirited citizen, and the trust
imposed in him by the whole:
salers of Duluth, who vouch for
him regardless of party, is a
monument to his honor and in
tegrity, even under adverse cir
cumstances, Of which any man
may we'll be proud. =
