conclusive reasons. The .unncl.r
does not declare that bis opponent Is
bloated mass Of corruption, nor
does his adversary insist coutemp,u.
ouely that the tunueler has been
bribed to support an immeasarablo

probably put tho other out Of tho
house, and certainly they would not
be likely to be very cordial friends
thereafter.
What, then, is tho reascn that the
tunneler, parting from his triepd. pro-
ceeds to a public meet.ag called to
consider the subject OF a railroad to

platform, vehemently declares ttas

and common sense-not only are ba-
bies of eighteen months competent u

vast swindle, aud its advocates are
knavish rascals
Meanwhile the friend Of the ice track
goes to his meeting, and sneers at
the inexpressible absurdity OF tun-
neling the ocean. They'd better

BIT NOSES coIT TYLER.

In his recent visit to this country,
Thomas Hughes repeatedly said that
the most discouraging fact he noticed
among US was the reluctance OF our
cultivated men to take IN active part
in politics. That such . reluctance
on the part of such men in America
does exist to very large extent no
one can deny; and the report OF this
state Of things has long since travelled
into foreign parts, where it has crys-
tallixed into the blunt formula that
only the roughs become politicians
here.
Il is not strange that our recent
and much-trusted English guest
should have been panied and evcn
alarmed BY such phenomenon. In
England the case is quite the reverse.
The most attractive sphere there to
all men, and especially to the best
men, is the spere of politics. Not
even a foreignsr can stay iu that hap.
py island very long without feeling
the fascination Of political lite, and
without coming to tho conclusion that
politics are worthy Of the highest tai
ents and Of the choicest culture
When Cheval,er Bunsen visited tor
the fret time the House OF Commons
he gave utterancs to this feeling by
the remark: sIf l were an English
man, I would rather die than not be
member Of this house," While with

Fair Flora's afiuent fingers crown thy crest
With al her seasons glories in cluster;
And thou, at once, canst boast of being drest
In oil that March or June can show of best,
Or May can muster.
But how shall man prevail to manifest
The marvsls Of thy nature and thine his

His utter ignorance shall stand confessed.
His strictest search shall miss the master

What most aerial architect might hope
So fairy,like fabric e'er to fashion?

Might look to end his days upon rope,
And in . passion.

In another column we give place
to a report OF Rail Road Meeting
held in this place on Friday evening
last, 18th INST.
We were not able 10 be present;
nevertheless We take q deep interest
in the mater.
The projected road is of the high
est Importance to us.
1t would put US in direct commu-
nication with the best coal fields IN
tins State, on the south; and in direct
communication with one OF the best
lumber markets in Minnesota, on the
north.
We shall ultimately be largely en-.
gagged m grazing, and this would en-
able us to send our beet, butter, and
cheese, either east, west. north, or
south as our interests should dictate.
It would give us competing lines
of road tor our grain, and thus add
several cents to the value Of every
bxshel Of grain we have for sale.
1t would give all parts of the coun-
ty ready access to the County Seat.
And this road is to be built. It is
no moonshine project. Tho Iowa

taken this work, built and equipped

and unquestionable pluck and enter.
prise.
The committee selected on the part
OF New Hampton could not have been
better chosen. 1t represents the in
telligence, business enterprise, and
wealth OF the central portion OF the
county. It is composed Of men who
are foremost IN every project calcu-
lated to advance the material pros.
pcrity Of the county; and whose bus
mess sagacity is sufiic ent guaranty
to our people that their interests will
be safe in their hands.
Altogether the prospect seems fiat
tering that we shall soon have a .li

the South and the lumber regions Of
the North, by means Of the Grinnell.

Rhetorical yitnpcration.

Here arc two gentleman sitting
quietly at table. and discussing the
route of q railroad to the North Pole.
Shall the ocean be tunneled, or shall
the track be laid on ice ? It is = tair
question. There are good arguments,
drawn from. great natural laws, and
from the actual situation. What is
abstractly better, and what is actually
expedient, are points that may be
carefully and intelligently discussed.
And so they are. And the two gen
tlemen take different sidee, and urge
the proper arguments. The advocate
OF the tunnel shows why that is the
better plan, AMI the friend Of the sur.

And, il attitudes a test,
Why, I reckon, it's confessed

of an organization entitled the Victoria League,
the object of which il ~ secure the election Of

which high Office we arc informed she has already
ben nominated. We have also been served, a
Lsy OF two later, with batch OF formidable
documents, which we have not time to wade
through, but which, We conclude from a hasty
glance, are intended TO show the importance of
Carrying out this programme. The platform of
this party. understand il, is " Progress !!
Free Thought Untrammeled Lives THE last
plank being, as is usual with party declarations.
the main-keel of the v hole concern.
Now, we are not in the reforming business, and
are therefore. perhaps, not qualified to judge or
the internal needs of Organizations devoted to
the purpose of ameliOraIing the condition of the
vOrldin general and of womankind in particular;
but if the champions of the cause of female
elevation and female suffrage hope to gain any
converts from the outside world We can tell
them that the sooner they cast off such offensive
nddiSreputsble biatherskites as the woodhulls.
and Claflins, and Trains, and others of that ilk
the better for their Undertaking. OF course no
body will for moment treat seriously the nomi-
nation of woman like Mrs. Woodruff to any
Office; but the prominence with which such per-
sons are allowed to identify themselves with ques
tons of real moment tends to create in the minds
of respectable thinking people only a feeling of
disgust and contempt for some Of the progressive
movements of the day, where they would
otherwise secure, If not favorable attention, at
least fair hearing.

departure if they intend to accomplish anything
