DESTROYING THE FORESTS.
Ravages of the Lumber BnrOns on the
Timber of the North.

SlcNti"lh iehh'I'
1t is sef-evident that there will come a
time when a check must be placed upon the
destruction OF the American forests The
earlier the government takes the matter in
hand and imposes the proper restrictions
the easier The task will be.
The district about the head of Lake Su-
perior is probably the greatest lumber
producing section Of the country at present,
but only few years will elapse before It
is cleared OF its woods If the present ac-
tivity there Is maintained. This winter
the sawmills about Duluth will all be in
operation, the logs being brought in by
rail and the frost thawed out of them by
means of hot water. 1t Is estimated that
before next spring 100000 OOO feet Of
standing lumber will be cut down in tn 5
territory and cent to the mills. During

DISBAND THE DISORGA MIXERS.

The persistent attempt to perpetuate
the so-called Patriotic league should he
discountenanced by all republicans
who desire the future success of the
party. The league was organized under
false pretenses on the same despicable,
cowardly plan of campaign that was
waged by Broatch and his Twenty
Fighters against the republican city
ticket years ago. Broatch had been de-
feated in square and honorable politi-
cal contest by an unquestioned and un-
purchasable majority of the conven-
ton. The Twenty-eighters, after ac-
cepting George w. Lininger's hospital
ity and pledging him their loyal sup
port, sold out and betrayed him under
the most tlimsy pretext.
The same tactics were pursued by
most of the Patriotic leaguers against
Reese and the republican county ticket
this fall. Not a single member of this
band of political cutthroats dares to
publicly admit his dastardly betrayal
of the party, but privately they boast
and glorify over it. Having achieved
the object for which they were banded
together, the leaguers now want to per-
petuate themselves with the sole aim
and object of forcing upon the party
candidates committed in advance to
promote the personal ends of party
wreckers and republicans for revenue
only.

zation should receive any encOur-
agement at the hands of decent or self
respecting republicans passes compre-
hension. What can republicans expect
when they follow the leadership of men
who have disgraced the party in public
office by jobbery and steals? Is it not
manifest that the disruption of the
party in this county is inevitable un-
less the decent men who have been
inveigled into this organization with
draw from it and place themselves in
line to fight out their factional prefer
ences at the primaries and in the con-
ventions instead of holding secret con-
claves to plot against the large major
ity of the party which will never coun-
tenance the underhand methods by
which these scheming soreheads are
trying to get control of the party and
dominate it's conventions?
p 1t is high time for the sheep
to separate from the goats. 1t is
high time for men who look for
preferment at the hands of the
rank and file of the republican party
to divorce themselves from all relati
with the Cadet Taylors, the w. A.
Saunders and that ilk Double-ender pol
iticans who want to curry favor with
notorious boodlers and political crooks
while at the same time seeking to re-
tain the respect and confidence of the
better element of the party will soon
discover that they cannot play ostrich.
There is no place in reputable poll
tics for the mole. The man who fights
his battles in the open is the man
whom manly people respect, and a man
who fights from behind the ambush is
the coward whom the people despise
and detest.
