YOU BET!

Our friend D'Unger, Of the Duluth Her

that the Northern Pacific Railroad viii not

and a half He says he "knows betting is
considered fools argument" and as we
agree with him or that point, and do not
wish to add cold blooded cruelty to such
foolishness, we decline to take D'Unger's

The Breakwater, Mr.. Herald, was des-
troyed by a great storm last November. 1t
will never rise again. The ''Nation'' feels
able to do without it. And the whole
scheme of organized plundering of the Uni
ted States Treasury, by yearly half million
and two million appropriations for that
wonderful Duluth of the rosy past, has all
gone glimmering.
Wake up, wake up, friend You are
living in the days after the flood Duluth
and Superior will have joint and equal adj
yantages from the Northern Pacific rad
road. Duluth and Superior will have just
800, 900 from g the n:.tion, to dnsdge oct
their harbors with. And as to allowing
your papers to be governed by these FACTS
we say in your own language, "The sooner
the matter is attended to, the better"

When will the Duluth Herald awaken
from the happy dreams which Duluth-as-it-
was used to indulge in? Read the follow
ing Bourbon production which appeared
last Saturday:
St Paul, a city of % 900 people, and with Gus

has sent over S20O, 900 in gold received for
duties here and that she is destined to be the CONNER
cal depot of the State let the nation be asked to
build her a suitable structure for a customhouse post
office, etc. The sooner the matter is attended to- the
better"
Look here, Mr.. Herald, didn't you know
that you now live in the practical age when
the old Duluth built on the Breakwater,
and vaunting its ''supremacy'' over all ere
alton, was a thing of the past, and when a
neac Duluth only is possible; a Duluth of
moderate pretensions built on Rice's Point,
and recognizing Superior as on "equal

the only place at the head Of Lake Supe-
rior? Can no railway, or harbor, or village
of + 900 inhabitants be located in this re-
gion elsewhere, than over the bay?
But to argue the case is foolish The
ease is already decided against ancient Du-

The latest news we have been able to
obtain in reference to the St. Croix grant,
is found in the two following dispatches to
the St. Paul Press of Thursday last.
The reporting back without recommend
ations, throws the entire responsibility of
decision upon the Legislature as a whole.
This responsibility the Assembly at least
seems willing to meet, as its Committee
reported back, under instructions'
Our readers can guess at the result as
well as we, when told that the Assembly is
said to favor the Milwaukee and st. Paul
Co., while the Senate leans to the North
Wisconsin. Read the dispatches:
MADISON, Feb 25.-The result of several weeks con-
sideraton Of bills for the disposal of the land grant,
and hearing elaborate arguments the subject is
that the assembly committee besides the action here
toore reported, will under instructions report to-mor-
the assembly the bills giving the land
grant to the Milwaukee & St Paul and to the North
Wisconsin railroad companies without any recommen-
dation the committee being evenly divided with one
member for the North Wisconsin absent
MADISON Feb 26.-The three weeks consideration
of the bills for the disposal of the land grant by the
legislative railroad committee resulted in a lame and
mpotent discussion this morning of the report from

RELIGIOUS ODDS AND ENDS.

Not TO fall behind the New York Herald
Duluth Tribune and other great papers OF
the day in enterprise, we propose to give
our readers some of the latest items of the
illogical intelligence occasionally.
We notice terrific controversy going on
in the Madison Democrat, between Ii. W.
Spalding, an Episcopal clergyman, and J.
w. Valley, Roman Catholic priest.
Spalding says be will have the last
word, and depute some one to keep it
up, if he dies before his opponent. Vahey
is of course equally determined. SO the
musty tones Of Church History will be well
aired at Madison if it takes all summer.
The Milwaukee Neecs is down on "chris-
tian statesmen" and also down on the Gra-
ham liquor law. Well, well, when it comes
to choice between Credit Mobilier and
cocktails, couldn't both take a back seat
and let some of our plain Johns legislate
awhile.
We think we have fat thing on Jones
of the Hudson Democrat. Dudley, pulpit
star of the "wide-church' persuasion at
Milwaukee, electrified Jones' soul recently.
After rushing home and announcing the
fact under the appropriate caption "The
World Moves" the first act Of the new
convert was to compare the Sioux City r.
r. Company to the Savior Of the wesId
Singular, considering that corporations
have no souls Try again, friend Jones.

ton man, which somehow remind lis ol

FoE long time it has been the custom
of postmasters, under Instructions from the
Postmaster General, to charge double rates
on any portion of letter postage which was
unpaid Thus q letter which was legally
chargeable with six cents postage, and
which bore but three cent stamp, was
withheld from the person to whom it was
addressed unless double the amount of
unpaid postage, or six cents, was paid.
Some pertinaceous individual has succeeded
in bringing this matter to the attention Of
the Attorney General, and he yesterday de-
cided that the collection Of the double rate
was illegal. This will probably end the
petty abuse.-iI PaW Press.

WISCONSIN vs.. MINNEsoTA.-There has
been very live y strife for the past two
years between these two States, over their
two pet cities Duluth and Superior.
Superior is beautifully located on the Wis
consin shore Of the Bay Of Superior, and
protected from the terrible storms which
occasionally prevail on the Lake, by two
promontories between which is natural
channel for the ingress and egress ofvesses.
The site Of Superior was selected some
years ago with the expectation that as the
country filled W with settlers, the great
grain producing northwest would find an
ontiet at this point.
Duluth lies across the Bay about FIVE
miles fvr. S"re.io.7 cd - ete .--.~;----- = =
the Lake Superior and Miss. Il. r., built
! and operated by Jay Cooke 81 Co., in con-
junction with the Northern Pacific. Du-
luth was to be made a second Chicago, and
large sums of money were expended in the
construction of dykes, canals &c, which
have lately proved failures Spectators
and settlers were all duped by this railroad
monopoly, and Duluth is In a fair way of
becoming a refuge for owls and bats, wolves
and half breeds In the meantime Superior
Ipursues the even tenor of her way, and the
latest dispatches confirm the intelligence
that a compromise has been effected be-
tween the two States, by which the North
ern Pacific is extended from the Junction
to the city Of Superior, and the prospects
now are, that after a struggle Of twenty
! years, Wisconsin will secure the coveted
prize and her principal Lake port in the
northwest will rapidly advance in wealth
and Importance.
