Duluth News Tribune: CITY Clerk
Cheadle has rec eived letter from
Kpute Nelson in which the senator
expresses the belief that an amend
ment to the act of congress cf 1866
permitting telegraph companies
which, it ia construed, means te}e-
phone companies, to maintain ana
operate lines along the post roads OF
the United States, cannot pass. The
council some time ago passed reso-
luton asking the state representative
at Washington to endeavor to have
the law repealed or amended 80 that
telephone companies will not be
Included This move was caused by
rumor that the present telephone
company here intends to maintain
its existence when it's franchise ex-

The city election will come of
March 21st. If the people endorst
the action of the council in the i'm.
portant questions which concern the
welfare OF the city, it is their duty to
see that the men who have done
good work are returned. The worn
of Alderman Martin, Lane and Moe
glein has been of such value to the
city that they should be triumph
antly elected. They will .un again
and deserve the support of all be-
lievers in good and economical city
government. City Clerk Frank Hall
has conducted his Office in a way &c
creditable to himself that it is going
to be very difficult job to defeat
him. He has been of great assis.
tance TO the aldermen in their pro-
jects for the city's good, and ear.
nestly co-operated with them. In
the campaign the line OF demar a.
ton between those who believe in 8
certain policy, and those opposed
will be sharply drawn, and the vot.
ers will have to get on one side OF
the other.

S. So Sc. Paul Letter.s 81
At the state capitol, during
Eanother week, there have been
numerous events political hear
ing for the encouragement 81
those having the care and
Ekeeping Of the peoples reform
cause. Thesprouts can be seen
here and there ON numerous
EG. O. P. coffin nails for 1900,
like the defeat Of the anti.
pass bill, while the oppcr
tunities of those who would
find fault with theadministra-
ton of Governor Lind grow
more and more beautiful less.
As time goes on, fewer and
fewer holding republican fat
jobs think they may *'stay,
though there will doubtles be,
to the very last, some who
will study Coin Harvey and
make other ostentatious signs
of REFORM hoping to be
kept. - Though ever so 10th
to do so, allwi11 finally concede
that a democrat, populist or
other reform ally is just as
capable of performing the
public service as a member Of
the G. O. p, and knows just
as well where to use the &C
companying salary.
Legislative summary for
the week is Of some interest.
Commencing with 1nvestIga-
ton, the Jacobson-Wi1son
committee on binder Irvine and
grain inspection devoted one
Sc ssion to Warden Wof1er,
and obtained little more than
ad missions he made during
the campaign, through this
bureau; in substance, that not
enough Irvine was reserved
for sale to farmers, but went
to the dealers. Cases of al
legged ''pull'' were admitted,
and that some to whom large
S ales were madewerere1atives
of prison managers. Letters
from farmers were presented
showing that none case Irvine
was refused, with the state
ment that it was all. gone,
whereas dealers obtained itat
the same time and later, the
farmer being Oscar Torson,
Castle Rock. Farmer S. P.
Roach of GAINESVILLE wrote the
committee that he was re-
fused, while others specified
OBJ tanned Irvine afterwards.
Mr.. Roach said that the only
reason he could give for
being Disseminated against
was that he had :'for several
years refused to bow the knee
to the republican Baal, while
the favored ones worshipped
at the G. 0. P. shrine. War
den Wolfer denied the truth
OF the one letter, and said he
did not remember the other.
The campaign allegationstha
twine purchased at or cents
by dealers was sold tothe far
mers at IS cents, was also adj
mitted; it was by concerns
than broke their contracts.
And the same way as, to
grain inspection. Scores of
well authenticated cases were
developed y last fall Of unjust
grading, false weight and e.
cessise dockage. The cases
were, however, brought to
Identification with great diff
hculty, the sufferers apparen.
