about as fast as they arrived. The re-

as good an average sold under this fig

a good demand for hogs on this market
and for some time past buyers have been
unable to get hogs enough to fill their

with other markets and the shippers who
come here go home with more clear mon

minor issue, knowingly and in good
faith. 1t is because Bryan is known
to hold "free silver" as his para
mount issue-that he would rather
see bimetallic empire than a gold
standard republic-that he holds
his silver deity hove republican in
st1tutions, Democratic principles or
party success, that so many Demo-
Gratis decline to support him. He
forced the peril upon the party and
upon his head be the result.

SEE Us EXPAND.

The Enterprise editor this week
gives evidence of the fact that he is
an expansionist-in business way,
at least, and in a manner which we
trust may be enjoyed by our patrons
and which gives us much pleasure.
For long time we have recognize
ed the fact that The Enterprise was
"short" on space, a fact which was
ofttimes made the more apparent
by our being Mong" on news and
advertising matter with no place to
run it. But while deploring our
shortages a dearth of wealth and a
plethora of accounts "now due and
payable" as we'll as a few "now and
forever due and receivable" owing
the fire which wiped us off the map
in 93, we have been compelled to
bide our time and today we COM
mence the publication of The Enter
prise on an expanded scale, with a
new dress and appropriate TRIM
mings throughout; our old Wash
ington has given way to new A. B.
Taylor cylinder and the "strong-
arm" power has been supplanted by
a gasoline engine.
As the oldest newspaper on the
Mesaba it has ever been our endeav-
or to make of The Enterprise clean
and able exponentof local interests,
representative in every respect, and
with our increased facilities it will
be our pleasure to extend our scope
in keeping with the rapid industrial
advancement of the ranges, endeav-
oring to merit a continuance of past
favors and deserve proportionate-
ly increasing business as the wave
of republican prosperity assists and
ensures the continued commercial
advancement of the section.
