ONE MORE EFFORT.

The G 10 e sincerely hopes that it's
contemporary the Pioneer Press, viii not
be discouraged in the effectuation of it's
darling purpose Of throwing OFT the pres
ent city officials of Democratic faith and
making room for purely non-partisan
successors in the persons of the former
officials. The project was at Least a
daring one. 1t is true it has fizzled out
pretty bad; but it has not yet wholly
fzzled. The claimant to the alderman
ship of the Sixth ward may not be as
important a parsonage either public or
private in the estimation of the supreme
court as he thinks himself to be; but he
is important enough to be entitled to a
hearing of his claims before the district
court.
The Pioneer Press has stood sponsor
for the great undertaking. 1t has shown
its splendid equipment in the domain of
Jurisprudence. Its discussions of the
questions of law involved will long live
as monuments to the all-embracing
knowledge of a really well-eqGipped edi-
toral staff. It's influence on the opinions
of the members of the supreme court has
not been one whit affected by the out
come thus far, since the refusal of the
body to which they belong to seriously
consider the application brought before it
WAS not really due to any considera ton
which bore in the slightest measure on
the soundness of its views on municipal
law, but rather on the failure of the
party associates to extend to our con-
temporary that encouragement and moral
sustainment which its great Tearing and
zeal entitled il to receive.
matter of such great public weight
should not be left wholly to even as in
genious Il statesman as ex-Ald. Bell The
most enlightened public sentiment of the
community, of which our contemporary
constituted itself the mouthpiece, finds
no adequate representation through Mr.
Bell and his counsel. Nothing short Of
a thorough awakening of the non-partf-
san forces Of the city to the grave danger
which is threatened will be sufficient TO
avert the calamity. The undertaking can
be assumed with more advantage of sue
cess Icy our contemporary than by any
other public agency. Let cur contempo-
rary not be discouraged. It's silence on
the subject creates a void 1t should
speak out once more. In it's time it has
been an inspiration to it's political friends
and a scourge to it's enemies on the
great theme.
The G @ e feels abandoned. The
district court is even within more meas
urable distance than its superior tribunal.
The bugle call of our contemporary can
not fail to reach IT'S judicial ear. The
people of the entire community, and more
particularly those of our fellow citizens
who live on the other side of the river.
are ciamorous in their desire that the
great undertaking, begun under such
splendid auspices and conducted with
such striking energy by our contempt
fary, shall lot be allowed to end in a
mere dribhle Of ineffective litigation

Labor Needs a Trust.

Eveleth Leader.
The recent marked reduction In wages
offered by lumbermen Gomez as a light
ming bolt from a clear sky. A drop from
$50 to $l7 per month seems rather more
than the existing conditions would war
rant. 1t is stated that the log cut will
be greatly curtailed this season. but the
reasons therefor are difficult to find The
price of lumber is high, as is also the
price Of stumpage, and just why lum-
bermen are not anxious to cut large
amounts seems exceedingly strange. La
borers seem much dissatisfied with the
reduction of wages, and are making a
stand for a higher scale. Whether or
not they will be able to hold out long
enough, however, to have any material
effect in that direction is doubtful. and
the probabilities are lumbermen will
be able TO procure all the hep they
need at the prce offered
