CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting on New York's loss of
export trade. which is being taken by
Southern ports, the Washington Post
Qnd) says: That lost trade will never
come back. and other trade will be lost
in the same way, for nature, art and
business sagacity are all conspiring to
increase the business of other ports at the
expense of the metropolis. Still, it will be
a long time before New York begins to
dry up aud blow away. She can live
without heavy export business, and that
is fortunate, for her export trade is going
to stay
The investigation into the bribery
charges at Harrisburg, Pa, has disclosed
a great deal of political rottenness and cor
ruption; but the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd)
is not hopeful that anybody will be pun
ished 1t says: THAT the bribers should
be punished is more than Is to be expect
ed in a state governed by Quay and infect
ed by Quayism, but II will be worth while
to go through the forms OF prosecution,
even though the rascals should escape
conviction, or, being convicted, should be
promptly pardoned."
1t must be a very bad case in favor
Of which no argument can be made. The
Montgomery Advertiser (Dem.) says:
when We have annexed the islands and
other outlying territory the United States
will have one advantage, anyhow. The
climate of the diverse sections will bal
ance each other, and give us fair aver
age"
The Richmond Dispatch Dem) says:
There is nothing In common between Mr..
Jefferson and the imperialists. Their ex-
pansion policies do not touch at any point
on the contrary. they recoil from each
other at every point. The imperialist who
appeals TO Mr.. Jefferson's record plays
with edged TOOLS"

The funny fool-the sense!ess practical
joker-in short is an unmitigated nuisance.
He is as dangerous as a confirmed crimi-
nal, and not less despisable. II is very diff
ficult to make the laws against malicious
mischief reach him. because it is fun
and not malice which instigates his insane
pranks. Funny fools Of Farrow's kind
are known in every community. The only
safeguard against them is not to come
near than; to ostracise them; to refuse TO
be friendly with them. In Farrow's case
he would deserve very little sympathy II
he should be mulcted for the fun damages
claimed, and sent TO the penitentiary IN
default of payment of the judgment.

A Novel Beat.

A novel manner of beating your way
has come to light. The party who
gave the snap away was working his
way east and had already come quite
a distance, having arrived in Sup
erior the day before from the Twin
Cities. The way he worked it is this.
He goes to an employment agency.
pays his dollar for job in a town or
on railroad some distance away and
is given free transportation to that
point. When he arrives at his des-
tination, he flies his job, pays another
dollar to an agency and is given trans
portation further on towards his des-
tination and so on. 1t is a very neat
scheme and is easily worked in these
days when labor is in such great de-
mand.

AT Two Harbors they are hav-

become so imbued with their pom
derousness that they arrest people
on sight who show up money
enough to pay their fines. Last
week the policeman's wife threw
a lighted lamp at him and burned
up So, 900 worth of property and
the lamp basted spouse fell from
a window and broke his leg. This
week he was spirited away from
the hospital in boat to Knife
river and thence to Duluth, be-
cause some of the Two Harbors
sports attempted to have a neck
tie party with the broken-legged
policeman as principal.

The inconsistent articles being
written by George Skinner of this
city and published in the Duluth
Herald, on the price of commodit-
les, especially meats, are becom-
ing altogether too extended. After
answering Mr.. Skinner with stat
istics compiled by the government
showing the decrease of cattle in
the United States and the higher
prices paid to the farmers, he is
still skeptical as to why he should
pay four cents a pound more for
beef now than last year. He can
not see how beef which has raised
$1.35 and 50. SO hundred on the
hoof should make a difference in
what he pays, and does not stop
to consider that the wages of the
butchers, meat cutters, sales
agents and everyone connected
with the handling of the beef have
been raised as much again and
more. Besides, if Mr.. Skinner
will examine into prices at the
local markets he will readily see
that he is not paying any more
for meat than he was two years
ago before he was getting the
wages he is today. His familiar
ity with the meat situation IS prob
ably due to the fact that he is
now employed building meat
cooler in this city. If he has any
substantial arguments to offer
why these times are not prosper
Gus for everyone, we would be
pleased to hear them.
