AS the city election APP
proaches, the candidates for
aldermanship in the different
wards seem to accumulate. 1t
will be a good thing if some OF
the corporation tools who are
holding down chairs i'll the
council are relegated to private
life, and citizens who have the
welfare OF the city elected in
their places. It is not neces-
sary to mention names, for a
glance at the retiring list of al
dermen will make it easy to
tell who those are that are unde-
sirable. What Duluth needs
more than any other one thing
is council that will work for
the welfare Of the city. There
are a number of thoroughly
good men in the present coun-
Gil, and few mighty poor spe-
cimens. Keep the good ones
and dispense with the others.

Diseases of Memory.

Writing Of diseases of the memory, a
Russian doctor gives an interesting &C.
count of some Of the eccentricities of
his patients. In the case of literary
man, some time previous to his seeking
advice he had been troubled with an
absolute failure of memory.
He could remember exactly every
thing he bad done more than a year
ago, but occurrences of later date he
had entirely forgotten. When attacked
by the disease, he was engaged in writ
ing a novel, which he had half finished.
He remembered the first half, but could
not tell how he had intended to finish
it. He was at last unable to remember
whether he had dined.
In another case the patient tells Of
his travels, but repeats the tales a dozen
times an hour, with the same phrases.
He would play game Of cards care
fully and we'll; FIVE minutes afterward
he would mention that he had not play
ed for weeks. Ho would say Good
morning!" when the doctor made bis
first visit of the day, but did not re,
member the visit three minutes later if
the doctor again looked in.-London

dation that a commission be
appointed to consider meas

system of taxing rsonalty;
that foreign corporations doing
businessin the state be charged
license fees; that an annual
franchise tax be levied on cor
porations; that the rate of taxes
of express, telegraph, telephone
and sleeping car companies be
increased, and the method of
computing it be changed, and
that the gross earnings tax
on railroad corporations be
increased to about 4 per cent.
The recommendation that
state fee offices be put on a
salaried basis viii receive gen
erai approval. This applies to
the clerk Of the supreme court,
the oil inspector and the sur
veyors general Of logs. He also
urges Legislation against the
granting of railroad passes in
this state; that proceedings be
instituted to recover state
swamp lands certified to GER
tain railroads; that in all sales
of state lands the mineral
rights be reserved, and that
the constitution be amended
so as to provide for direct legis-
lation by means of the initia-

one will applaud his recon-
mendation that steps be taken

lobby, with the idea of driving
out the corrupt gang of lobby

Big Men and Big Noses.

Cyrano de Rergerac is remembered
because Of his large nose. Few know
that he was poet, and fewer still
know his poetry. The nose is; conspio-
uous feature Of history. The length of
Cleopatra's is said to have figured in
Roman politics, and a scandal grew out
Of it which ended in the ruin and death
of Antony and the establishment Of an
empire which lasted a thousand years.
Napoleon would not. promote man
who had not large nose. He himself
was we'll favored in this respect. Caesar
was ''the hook nosed Roman
All American statesmen have been
noted for this feature Old men tell of
our own Benton, who used to shake his
nose like an elephants probosois when
he got excited. It seems to be the law
that all great men have great noses,
but let no one think that the converse
of this is true, that all men who have
great noses are great men. Such con-
clusion would lead to confusion and
needless pain and disappointment.-St
Louis Post-Dispatch.

about when some kind of people

year can probably be accounted
for along these lines~
The Label League is prepar-
ing to make an elaborate dis
play at the labor bazaar. East
ern firms have been asked to
put on exhibition their union
labelled goods and it is thought
many will take advantage OF
this opportunity to advertise
their wares in Duluth and at
the same time show their kind
mess toward union labor.

Evening Dress In Kansas City.

&AN CAAA6 DASSo III AAsS"SAo OAkJs
The dress suit is the most democratic
raiment in the world. 1t meets the re-
quirements Of good form, whether it
was made six years ago or last month.
Attired in evening costume, whether
the swallowtails are long or short. mar.
row or wide, all men look, practically
speaking, alike, whether they are wage
earners or millionaires. The dress suit
levels all distinctions and illustrates the
poten TALLY of a correct style. The
young man who has made g0od se!ec-
ton in his rented broadcloth serenely
greets his wealthy rival who has paid
for his London clothesa price like $3.50.
How the fame Of this world grows
small when wrapped in swallowtail
coat among many others of the same
cut When the dress suit becomes the
regular evening calling and theater
dress for Kansas City men, as it should
be, the poor chaps will profit by it a
full cubit Of serenity and self respect.

he will be instrumental in re-
