MAKE GOOD.

The man we like is the man who wins,
The man with a mighty will
Who plods away, through the heat of day.
And journeys up the hill.
His is the hand we like to grasp,
He is the man we would
clasp to our breast with friendly zest-
The man who is making good.
For whether it be on land or sea,
In peace or the bloody fray,
Tile men we cheer are the men who steer
A straight-away course each day.
Not the man who falters and drops aside,
But the man who has boldly stood
In the thick of the fight for the cause Of
right,
The man who is making good
Then here's to the man, to-day, say I,
Who strives with a heart of steel,
With his red blood warm in his manly
form,
Though envy's at his heel;
Yes, here's to the man who tolls right on,
Though he be misunderstood,
l make my bow to him right now,
The man who is making good.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.
To-Day another year begins it
365-day grind. The year just clos
ed was marked with much that wa
good and much that was bad. The
good will be forgotten long before
the last day of the year just begun
wanes, but the bad streaks go to
make history. Holocausts, acct
dents, panics, strikes, deaths, etc
are remembered and go to fill the
pages of the ANIMALS.
The year just begun holds in
store much for everyone, at least all
indications point to a bright and
prosperous year. The prospects
for Ely are certainly much bright
er than they were year ago. The
business atmosphere has a much
better tone and with the mines all
working full forces soon, which IS
promised; Section 80 opening up;
and varions other workings in view,
chances are there will be something
doing here, more than during the
year past.
The Ely Business Mems Associa-
ton has mapped out a vigorous
campaign for the coming year.
The hotel proposition will be up for
discussion at the next meeting with
fair prospects of a speedy settle
nent. DR.. Shipman stands ready
to improve the Exchange Hote
providing the agitation for a new
hotel is dropped. This IS the mat
ter up for discussion.
Another improvement in the
course of incubation is the free de
livery of express matter and com
mittees will begin work on this a
once.
The running of the passenger ane
mail trains will also be looked into
It is notorious fact that the Du
luth & Iron Range is giving thu:
CITY a most abominable service
The whole effort of the manage
ment seems to be to furnish every
thing for the Duluth end of the line
There is no possible excuse for TIT
evenings train running into Ely
at $50. There is also no excuse
for the soldering that is done along
the line neccessitating a FIVE hou
run for a distance of III miles
There is not another road in tn
country that can kill as much TIM
as this for the distance Travelled
The strange part of the who'll
proceeding is that heavily loadet
ore trains make almost double thu
time. The management may b.
putting forth the best efforts for tn
safety of its passengers but tn
larger part of the passengers ar
willing to run just a little risk.
While this may be perfectly sat
isfactory to the railroad officials
the people, here, in view of tn
large amount of business done b,
the line in Ely, think the compan,
is using too much discrimination
Duluth and Two Harbors can hav
anything they want and we feel as
sured that should some of the Du
luth department stores make a de
mand to hold the train over unit
their stores closed, the compan,
would at once do so. The after
noon train could be run out of Du
luth at 2::30 at the latest and &c
into Ely about supper time, if tn
company wanted to totefair. The
we would not feel out of the world
Beginning today the postoffic
closes at 1880 every evening. Thi

master aud the department. 7

move is meeting with the approba-
ton of nearly everyone III the city.
Those doing the larger part of the
business with the postoffiee are sat
isfied with the new order. Natur-
ally there will be a few kickers and
as usual, the ones doing the kick
ing have the least business to trans
act. All the most important bust
ness mail arrives on the noon train
during business hours. Two
thirds of the merchants and large
firms doing business here, don t
look over their evenings mail un-
til morning anyway. Several good
effects from the closing will be that
the usual grist of evening postoffce
loafers can stay at home; children
can get acquainted with their par
ents and put in the long evenings
at something besides 1oafing in the
postofice; lodges will be able to
open and close on time without
waiting for members who are at the
postoffice; the postmaster and his
assistants will also be able to do
their work without the annoyance
of gang of hoodlums and foul
scandal mongers.
Every citizen should put his
shoulder to the wheel this year and
go in for the purpose of keeping
Ely in the ranks of the foremost
towns in the state. A united effort
will bring forth many things at
present unthought of that will go
to benefit everybody. Let us all
dig in and boost for year and see
what can be accomplished.
Do you know there's lot of people
Sitting round in every town,
Growing like broody chicken,
Knocking every good thing down?
Dom be that kind of cattle
Cause they amt no use on earth,
Just be q booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you're
worth.
If your town needs a boosting
rooster,
Don hold back and wait to see
If some other feller's willing,
Sail right in-this country S free,
No ones got mortgage on it,
1t is yours just as much as his,
If your towns shy on boosters,
You get in the boosting biz.
If things don't seem to suit you,
And theworld seems kinder wrong
What's the matter with a boostin
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop agoing
We'd be in sorry plight,
You just keep your horn BLOWN
Boost her with all your might.
If you see some fellows trying
For to make some project go,
You can boost it up a trife,
That's your cue to let him know
That you are not going to knock it,
Just because it amt your shout
But you are going to boost a little
Cause he's got the best thing out,
If you know fellows failin's
Just forget .'em cause you know
That same fellows got some good
points
Them's the ones you want to
know,
Cast your loaves out on the waters
They'll come back" tbs a say
ing true,
Maybethey comeback "buttered"
When some fellow boosts for you.
Our columns are open for sug-
gestions and anyone wishing to air
his views can find place therein.
Get busy.

A couple of weeks ago the Agnew
orothers. the new publishers of the
Mitchell Gazette, took occasion to
make a caustic comment concerning
the publication in The Republican of
the application for saloon licenses,
saying that inasmuch as this paper
supported the anti-license PROPOSE
ton that it should not have accepted
the publication of them, and scorn-
ed a newspaper that was SO hot after
business as to make the first grab
after something of that sort. OF
course the Gazette knew, if it knew
anything about the situation at an,
that the city council by a unanimous
vote, rendered the publication to The
Republican and without the first iota
OF a suggestion from this office. That
hurt the Gazette, because having sup
ported the license cause under the
former managers, and then the Az
new brothers declared themselves in
favor of the support of the saloon,
when the occasion really did not de-
mand it. they expected to have the
plum fall to them. And when it
didn't there was a sore spot. After
placing The Republican far down the
scale of respectability for mixing
with tainted business the Gazette
people expressed the opinion thai the

Clarion would not lie so inconsistent
in trying 10 escure business nor that
it would print the application fol
license because of the expressed views
of the editor against the license pro
position. The Agnew brothers must
have had a terrible jolt last week
when the Clarion divided the busi-
ness of publishing the applications
for license with the Gazette, the form
er getting six and the Gazette seven.
1t is nothing to the discredit of the
Clarion that it published the license
applications, Notwithstanding the fact
the Gazette desired to make it APP
pear something pretty bad in the case
of The Republican. The judgment of
the Agnew brothers seems to be sad
