Dumas: at this particular time is at least strange. He is about to be tried by the state on a serious offense. Jt has been generally understood that whatever action:the government was to take would be delayed until after a fair jury at an impartial trial had weighed the evidence. This impression was-not gained in a day. It has been nearly three months since Dr. Dumas was arrest- ed. He has been permitted to go his way under the protection to the state of a $10,000 bail bond. Has. the government suddenly de- cided that the corpulent mayor of Cass Lake is about to follow Mike Davis’ example of taking to the tall timber? Or. have the United States officials just discovered that they have a case against the doctor? If either is true, it seems a bit peculiar that action should have been delayed to the exact moment when a Tearrest, will again arouse. the public, || molding public opinion, some may | think, gainst the accused man. 1 may. even appear. to, some to be morg, than a coincidence that the at- torney seneral of the state and his asgistant, should come to Bemidji, take 8 look at the landscape, return 1o, St. Paul ang then, following close cn, their visit awaken to find that Ur. Dumas hag been rgarrested. It may be that it just happened {hat way but if the people look at it for what it appears to be worth, Judge Spooner will share his indig- aation alone. The time has come when Beltrami’s best blood must as- sert itself and in the face of all the littler things, with no thought of justice see to it that Dr. Dumas is given that which he is entitled to, a fair trial, an impartial jury and a gquare deal all the way through. SENDING HEAVY MAIL BY FREIGHT. An old statute permits the postal authorities to forward a certain kind of second-class mail matter by freight, and the postmaster-general has decided to take advantage of it. Arrangements have been made where- by magazines and periodicals, hereto- fore transported in the mail cars-at- tached to passenger trains, will be carried by fast freight trains from and-after Sept. 1. It is understood that this will be generally satisfac- tory to publishers. They are to. be permitted to print on the wrapper of each copy or bundle of their publi- cations, as a part of the address, in- structions as to the date on which delivery is to be made, and post- masters have been instructed to co- operate in efforts to make this deliv- ery on time. As a common sense arrangement this would seem to commend itself not only to the parties immediately concerned but to the public. Getting .| periodicals to press a little earlier in the month, so that ample time for their transportation by fast freight may be allowed, will relieve the rail- way mail service of congestion that 5 had come well nigh impairing its val- 0 ue seriously, while at the same time eliminating great and unnecessary expense. The railway mail clerks have had good cause for complaint with regard to the manner in which periodicals have been dumped {xpon them on cer- tain days of the month. Matters had reached a point where it was next: to impossible to carry on distribution during ordinary runs. Mail that should have dropped at certain sta- tions was necessarily carried by these stations, to be transferred and drop- ped on a return trip, or by another car. Regular mail matter, letters and newspapers, has been increasing gt a tremendous rate, demanding of itgelf nearly all the space and energy at the command of the railway ser- vice; northing short of thé doubling of the time of the clerks has served on occasion to keep the mails mov- ing regularly. Postmaster-General Hitchecock is entitled to praise for the many econ- omies he has introduced in the pos- tal service, and for this one in par- ticular. It means not only a saving to the government in actual cash, but it means also the conservation of the labor and comfort and happiness of thousands of unknown but faithful public servants.

There are now 106 unions in the Hebrew trades of New York. ‘Within the last forty years the numbper of women workers in France has almost doubled. Organized railway men in Glasgow, Scotland and vicinity have gone on strike for shorter hours and higher wages. An order of the secretary of the interior of Denmark prescribes sani- tary and other conditions in bakeries and confectioneries, A branch of the Anti-Japanese Laundry Leageu has been organized in Oakland, Calif., among the laun- dry workers, owners and drivers. Ninety-five per cent of the drug clerks at San Jose, Calif., are organ- ized, with a prospect of a 100 per cent organization in the near future. The unemployed ration of the As- sociated Blacksmiths and Iron Work~ ers of Great Britain was recently less than three-quarters of one per cent. The Kansas State Federation of Labor has started a campaign for a law forbidding women in Kansas to work more than nine hours out of twenty-four. The organized hakers off Minneapo- lis, Minn., have decided to establish a co-operative bakery in that city and the preliminary steps have al- ready been taken. After twenty years of service all postmasters and clerks in Germany -company and the representatives of ment, and after forty years a full pension, in addition to the regular salary. Al available statistics of wages in- dicate that considerably more than | one-half, probably two-thirds,.of the adult male wage-earners in America receive less than $700 annually. For the fifth time in a year an ef- fort is being made to organize the freight handlers ‘in Ontario, and es- Dpeclally those in Toronto. There are about one thousand two hundred in the Toronto terminals. The secretary-treasurer of the In- ternational Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers and Firemen reports that the disbursements for sick and funeral benefits during the month of July amounted to $77,250. More than two-fifths of the 1,000,- 000 factory hands in Japan are wom- en and children. 70,000 children un- der the age of fourteen are employed in mills. In the match and tobacco factories many children under ten years are employed. Negotiations between the officials of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway the various organizations employed i nthe shops on the System, looking toward an increase in pay have been broken off. The company practically refused to make any advances and a strike vote has been ordered to be taken. . New Map of Orleans. The National Tribune of Washing- ton, D. C., the great weekly pub- lished in the National Capital and the organ of the old soldiers and the G. A. R., has just had prepared a new map of Florida, the State which is now the center of interest among all who are tired of the sudden changes from torrid heat in summer to arcti® cold in winter, and who want a home where the climate is healthful and opportunities are of- fered to earn a livelihood or acquire wealth under the most favorable con- ditions. The population of Florida has in- creased nearly 50 per cent in the last census decade, and will double in the next. This map The National Tribune has had compiled from the latest sur- veys of the Government engineers and from the most recent data of the postoffice department and litho- graphed in three colors on a fine qual- ity of plate paper, 28 by 30 inches. This map will be sent free to any one who will write to The National Tribune and enclose 7 cents in stamps for postage. ‘Whether you own property in any part of Florida, or are merely inter-| ested in the rapid development that is going on in the Peninsula State, this map will be of both interest and val- ue to you, and all you have to do to get it, is to send 7 cents in stamps; merely to defray the cost of mailing, and the map will be sent to you at once, securely rolled in a stiff tube.
