the national Democracy as an organ
ization has been freed from the flnan-
cial delusions that have made it
weak artl has entered upon strength.
This is too apparent for denial. No
action of Democracy's representa-
tives assembled in the late cmven-
ton can be construed in any other
way than as an acknowledgment OF
the establishment of the gold stand
ard and willing pledge to it's main
tenance This condition should, Of
itself, be sufficient to so fill our
measure of satisfaction as to cause
us to forget any fears Or trepidation
that may have yexed us during the
days just passed.
Il do not overlook the fact that
two clean and unimpeached verdicts
of the people stand recorded in favor
of the gold standard, and that it's per-
pertuity has been secured by federal
enactment; but l insist that, in re-
fusng to indulge any further free
silver or double standard vagaries,
the convention did not, on account OF
eyisting conditions, merely make a
virtue of necessity, but that it voiced,
instead, an actual and wholesome
ohanee in sentiment among the rank
ond file of Democracy. Herein is
found abundantly sufficient cause for
eratitude and congratnation to the
psrt of all those who love true Dem
ncracN.
y want 10 20 further than this and
20 ovrrees a reverent belief that GER
tain convention occurrences, appar-
natlv untoward, have worked to-
rather for Democracy's good, and
rhat happy outcome has been reach
cd through a leading wiser and more
certain than the Wit of man could
have DEVISED.

SUES THE CITY
JanitOr Of City Hall at East Grand
Forks Tells Strange and
Startling Story,

Robert Mitchell, one time jan
itor Of the city hall in East Grand
Forks, is now suing the city for
1888 for three months service as
janitor. He says he was not dis.
|charged by the mayor, but by
the village recorder and the chief
OF police, the former threatening
to throw him down stairs and the
latter throwing his mop and pail
Into the street and him after
them and locking the door. He
says in an interview published
in the Herald:
The source Of all this trouble
was that I was keeper Of the Jail
and fed the prisoners. The
night police allowed people to
bring in beer and whisky and
kept the prisoners drunk in
their cells. / objected to this
and notified the mayor and some
Of the aldermen how things we're
going, but they paid no attention
to it.

Coal and Iron Will Be Mined

county is a subject yet to be sue
cessfully exploited, but # the.
story Of an old time woodsman.
who was at the Markham hotel
astnightand who has cruised the
big woods in this vicinity from
the angle to Lake Itasca for the
past eighteen years is correct
the time will come when the
mineral wealth Of Beltrami
county so far as coal and iron is
concerned will be one of it's most.
important resources.
aYou talk to people in this VI
cinity now about coal and iron in
this country and they will tell
you that you don't know what
You are talking about. If | We're
to tell you that within ten miles
of Bemidji there is an excellent
coal pro spect you would laugh at
me outfits a fact nevertheless. L
believe that in time some of the
richest coal and iron deposits in
I the4country will be found right
here in Beltrami county.
81 don't believe there is a foot
Of this country from the angle to
it's southern boundry that ]
haven t cruised in the last eigh-
teen years since | came to this
country. If you will read the.
geology of the county as pro
pounded by State Geologist
Wlnchell and are familiar with
the geological conditions that
prevail in the vicinity of coal,
iron and copper deposits you will
perhaps be surprised to find that
the topograp y of the country in
this vicinity is very similar to
that of the sections Of the United
States where some of the richest
mineral deposits in the world are
located. Coal deposits are always
found in a rugged and heavily
tim bered country. / know a
stretch of country in Beltrami
county extending for about nine
miles that is almost identical in
general appearance with stretch
of country that ] remember near
the coal fields at my old home in
Pennsylvania, where a very rich
coal mine has since been located
CHOW perhaps you think this
is all talk, but | would call your
attention to the fact the mineral
clause is reserved in every deed
that is recorded in this section
where the land isowned by some
of the big timber companies.
OF course the reservation clause
does not stand up before the SUI
prem court and it may not be par
ticularly significant, but at the
same time it shows that these
same companies whodo not chase
after phantom propositions are
willing to believe that perhaps
there may be mineral deposits in
this section. Their experience
on the iron range has taught
them this very forcibly during
the past few years.
Not very long ago you had a
story in your paper OF hunter
picking up some substance that
looked like coal, yslnelled like coal
and burned like a furnace. I
didn t see the sample myself but
/ have no doubt it was the real
article. Of course the extent Of
the deposit is the important
thing. Perhaps it is not large
enough to warrant development
at present, but changed market
conditions may some day make it
worth millions. I believe there
is lots of iron and coal in this
