JUDGE KNAPP, In his speech al
Council Bluff wanted 10 know II
anybody could tell him why the
Legislature OF last winter refused
to pass . law compelling railroad
companies TO pay their just propor-
tion Of the State and county taxi
We answer, that the reason was,
In part, at least. because such meas-
ure was opposed by such leading
Democrats N Mr.. Fellows, Of the
Senate, and Mr.. Mills, Of the House;
and because Mr.. Ham, editor Of the
Dubuque Herald, and now Demo-
cratic candidate for Lieut.. Governor,
was then ridiculing the idea OF tax
alton % measure Of relief. Being
now properly informed, will Jupge
Knapp tell his hearers that full
share OF the responsibility for not
passing such . law as he suggests,
rests upon the Democratic party p
burlington HdsDkeye.

Gentleman, writing from Hamilton

good hog raisers In that region is 70
pasture their hogs on clover during
the summer. He presents ~ the ad-
vantage Of his plan the statement
that an acre Of ground In clover will
pasture five hogs four months, and
that II will take the corn from half
an acre to feed them at the same
time. The cultivation Of the corn hs
counts equal TO the rent Of the other
half acre He further claims that
hogs pastured on clover are In . far
better condition than n fed on corn,
- they are larger framed. healthier.
and eat better. and also states that

RUNNING A COMPARISON.

Many persons apt to comparison between
the Union Pacific and North Pacific Railways as to
the Government aid received by them, arguing that
the former is in with its bond creditors the
latter may fall into the same condition This idea
manfesty of thoughtlessness of ignorance.
Leaving out of sight the local advantages of wood,
water, arabic land, future way travel etc, which the
one possesses the other, it must be remember
ed that the Government aid extended the North Pac
c is far beyond that given its less favored and less
fortunate rival
The North Pacific land grant is twice as large as
that of the Union Pacific and confessedly, in the main
better land, The Union Pacific received it is true,
largess of bonds to the mile, but these bonds, it must
ever be borne in mind, were not gift, but loan
From the very start they load to earry-a deb

for the empire and the trade of continent the old

1851 TO 1862, there 2522 deaths caused by in
temperance, and from that period to the 3lst of De-
cember, 1868, they amounted to 2 10
In 1902, out of 1857 committed there were II )
391 women, aId 1920 men Reports of the City Pris
on show that women much more incorrigble than
men. The Commissioners of Charities and Corrections
in their report dated Januarv, 1861 in speaking of
the workhouse, remark: There the vagrant, the
slothtul, and the drunkard taught by forcbe les
