CHAMBERLAINS RESIGNATION.
The resignation of Joseph
Chamberlain as colonial secretary
may help the Balfour adminis
tration, as the throwing out of
Jonah helped the ancient voyag
ers who -were proceeding from
Joppa to Tarshish, by lightening
the ship. Chamberlain has been
a very heavy load for the union
ists to carry, since -he broached
his remarkable plan for overturn
ing the policy of reat Britian
which has been maintained dur
ing the period of her great in
dustrial prosperitythe\ policy
which a vast majority of her
people, including all the recog
nized authorities on political
economy, recognize as- an essen
tial condition for her rise to the
position of "the workshop of the
world."
From one end of the island to
the other, there has been an ab
sence of popular indorsement of
the Chamberlain policy, while
trade unions and other organiza
tions with large memberships
have in many instances adopted
remonstrances against any mew37c
policy of taxation which would
raise the cost of living.
Chamberlain was regarded as
the central figure on the English
side in the costly war against
the Boers, but that did not de
tract from his popularity among
the taxpayers. His policy of an
imperial zollverein has suddenly
removed him from the confidence
of the masses.
Chamberlain is not the man to
be disheartened by a single re
verse. He will probably not con
sider his public career at an end.
But it is evident that he recog
nizes an imperial zollverein as a
thing impracticable in the pres
ent temper of the British public.
Evening Wisconsin.
WHILE walking through a patch
of woods in the city limits of
Duiuth one man shot at another,
thinking he was a bear. And
still some people wonder why it
is Minnesota farmers bar city
sportsmen from hunting on their
lands.
DULUTJH is to have a pants
factory. The plant should be a
paying one, for the gentle in
clines in the hilly city are said to
make everyone keep panting.
IF THE country press is to be
taken as a criterion, Robert C.
Dunn will be the next governor
of Minnesota.
BURNS TO DEATH IN BED.
Fatal Attempt of an Invalid to SmoKe
a Cigar.
Sioux City. Iowa, Sept. 22. Ma?
Rix, a well known citizen of Dakota
City, Neb., who has been an invalrd
for more than two years, was burned
to death while smoking a cigar in
bed. He had suffered from a cerebral
tumor and had been demented and
helpless for some time. His wife
gave him a cigar to smoke in bed
while she went to a neighbors. Th
bed clothing caught fire and the man'a
body was fearfully cliarred.
BULLET THROUGH HAT.
Duiuth Boy Nearly Killed by a Caro
less Hunter.
Duiuth, Minn.. Sept. 22. Arthur
Gorman, a seventeen-year-old boy of
5931 Oneida street, came near being
killed by a careless hunter yesterday.
The latter shot at Gorman and the
bullet pierced his hat. It is presumed
that the hunter mistook Gorman for
a bear, as he was stooping over ex
emining some tracks at the time. The
hunter was heard running through
the woods after the shot and he made
his escape.
