THE Ely Miner is "agin" county division, and contends that one taste of improvement inaugurated by the Mesaba—the building of the Miller trunk road—is a sufficient dose of improvements for Vermil ionites. That particular dose, such as it was, was also sufficient of the kind for Mesabaites, but had the honorable county board, of which the Vermilion furnishes one and Duluth the balance of members, gone right and followed the spirit of the movement by connecting the ranges with the Rainy Lake sec tion, there would have been a dif ferent feeling over the matter. A LEADING democratic newspaper of New York city dwells fondly and in double leads upon the fact that not since Grant has any president had a second continuous term—and wonders if history is about to re peat itself in the case of Mr. McKin ley. As a campaign output, this is almost as pertinent and impressive as would be a solemn warning from the republican side that the only Nebreskan who ever ran for the presidency was defeated. It is not necessary to sit up or to hew these chunks of political suggestiveness. J. B. DENSMORE, for some time past a member of the Eveleth 'Star force and formerly editor of the Hibbing Tribune, will act as local representative at Biwabik for a new paper to be started at that point, lhe name of D. E. Cuppernull will flaunt from the mast-head as editor of the new venture. The field is en titled to consideration as a promis ing one. M. A. NICHOLS, formerly of this city but now engaged in the lumber business at Buhl, on Tuesday re ceived the appointment of postmas ter at that point. Mr. Nichols is a deservedly popular republican and his appointment cannot fail of giv ing general satisfaction. THE man who kicks a skunk is foolish. The kick will not kill, nor will it change the habits of the skunk. Realizing this fact The En terprise passes up our esteemed contemporary of the Eveleth Star, leaving him to revel unmolested in the stench of his own creation. WM. J. BRYAN will be the drawing card at Duluth on October 1st. He will speak at both Duluth and Su perior during his visit to the head of the lakes. BRIEF PERSONAL POINTERS.
