THERE is yet time for the county
commissioners to re-apportion the
commissioner districts in this county
and save the unnecessary delay in
carrying the matter to the Legislature
next winter. There is no excuse for
the acting Of some of the Duluth
commissioners on the subject. The
offices are created by the people and
for the people to facilitate peoples
business and when the people say
something, the officers should pay
some attention to them. Commits
sioner Morcom tried to do justice by
bringing the matter before the hon
cradle body, but his efforts were

The best too,hpicks made anywhere
10 the world come from Portugal, says
the Philadelphia Times. They are
whitfield by band from orange wood
spIints by peasant girls. the only tools
used being the ordinary jack knife
These picks are as smooth as ivory
and will not break into spiinters
They are expensive Ouly oDe
hotel 10 Philadelphia supplies them.
The girls who make the picks receive
less than 10 cents per day.
AS the duty on the foreign -mede
picks is only 35 per cent, they can be
sold here for less than picks of similar
quality could be manufactured 10 this
country, despite the improved American
machinery and skilled labor The
profit on American picks is almost ex-
clusively 90 the cheaper producta.
Some of the Portuguese picks are highly
ornamented with band carving. They
are too expensive for ordinary CON-
merce Small quantities have been i'm
ported ioto this country 90 rare occa-
sions for use at notable baDquets Or as
unique specimens of hsodlcraft.

Our Treaty With Spain.

Hon Harnis Taylor, who was
minister to Spain during President
Cleveland's administration, has con-
tributed the most instructive articles
relative to the Spanish situation that
were published before or after the
war. A year ago, in an article in
the North American Review, he lum
inously outlined the situations then
existing between this country and
Spain and predicted war as the in
evitable result. His predictions were
fulfilled almost to the letter, and he
has established himself as an authori-
ty upon Spanish affairs.
In the December Review, Mr..
Taylor publishes an interesting ar
ticle upon the work of our peace
commissioners in Paris. and upon the
terms of the treaty which it is pro
posed to make with Spain Mr..
Taylor does not approve of the de-
mands which we have made upon
Spain, and thinks the United States
are using their powers in tyranical
way and making demands on weak
and helpless nation which ought not
to be made. He approves of the
proposition to recognize the debt
against the Philippines which was
contracted by Spain for the better
ment of the islands, and contends
that every law of right and justice
will demand similar course on our
part with reference to Cuba. He
recites the fact that the Cubans,
themselves, offered to assume $780,
100000 of Indebtedness if granted
their independence by Spain. If so
much Of the Cuban debt was esteem
ed to be q just charge upon the
country by the Cpbans themselves,
Mr. Taylor declares that this govern
ment should have been equally just
in recognizing it. BE says that it is
simply an evasion for the United
States to say that we do not propose
to keep Cuba under our control.
While our sovereignty over that
island at present is qualified, be
considers it assured in few years it
will become entire and actual, and
that this SlOo.0o0,ooo is the charge
upon the land which ought 10 go
with it, whether we keep the island
or whether after few years we turn
it over to the Cubans.
Mr.. Taylor writes earnestly and
from the standpoint of patriotic
American who feels an interest in
preserving for the future the honor OF
our government. Persons who are
interested in keeping abreast of cur
rent history aud of keeping posted
on all sides of the Philippine ques
ton will be interested in reading the
contribution of Hon. Hannis Taylor
in the December number of the North
American Review.

JcrgensenS O.

Leader Of q brave hancful.J
ing up, Anderson and his little band
moved on around the blockhouse to get
within range of the retreating Spaniards.
AS they passed the blockhouse they saw
a Spaniard in the door. who quickly
vanished, and supposing there were 9th
ers also beating retreat, hoped to capture
them by going around the fort. At this
time some Of the Sixth cavalry came up,
and one of Anderson's men, Private
Agnew Of Company e, climbed upon
the roof and took che flag down. While
the Thirteenth men were showing the
flag to the cavalryclen two of Ander-
sons band were hit. Anderson says this
FIRE came from Spaniards who were un-
der the Red Cross flag in some building
on the outskirts Of Santiago. The Thir-
teenth men thought that the captured
flag was Jonah, tore it into bits and
distributed the pieces. The gallant Ma
jor Auman was wounded before he
reached the blockhouse, and the senior
officer on the hill, Captain Torrance,
was cut down at the blockhouse with a
wound which caused lis death next day.
The Twenty-fourth regiment was led
up the hill by Captain Weigant, who
took command after Liscum fell. The
charge of this regiment of negroes is
lauded by AL who witnessed it.

Liquors come under the provisions of
the new pure food law, according to the
decision of Dairy and Food Commission
or Adams. The statute forbids all adul-
terations in food and drink. Several
weeks ago a Milwaukee liquor dealer ap-
piled to the commissioner to prosecute q
rival dealer who, he said, was selling in
ferior goods under trade mark indicat-
ing them to be the best. Commissioner
Adams has decided what the law means
and will act accordingly. ''The tests
which the department will apply to all
cases." said the commissioner, "are:
Does the liquor contain any element in
furious to the public health, and are the
goods adulterated so that the public is
deceived into buying an inferior article
for a superior one?"
