Several agricultural societies were organ

Hon. Harris Lewis-Called out, who
made some remarks on adaptation. Per-
feet adaptation reigns supreme. Fish OF
the ocean, and other waters are adapted
to their elements. Animals of the land
are adapted to their varied conditions.
Man is less adapted to his lot than the an
imal creation. Does instinct do more for
the animal than reason for the man
Adapt the means we have in hand to the
object we have in view. Nature, study
and practice are necessary to accomplish
Success depends on doing what we have
to do at the right time.
Finally adjourned.

Rebel Tactics.

rom the milwaukee Sentinel.
IT seems that the force in the machine
shops Of the Milwaukee & St. Paul
Road is to be cut down 40 per cent, and
there is also a rumor to the effect that
futher reduction in the force OF the
Chicago & Northwestern will soon take
place. Whenever a railroad official is
in terviewed on the subject lugubrious
shake Of the head is made, and the
mournful words "Potter Law uttered.
Whenever man sends for special
freight rates for large shipments. the
reply comes eve can make no contracts
until the illegality of the Potter law is
established" Now all this sort Of work
is simply humbug. The Potter law
did not force two-thirds Of the manu-
factories in the country to limit their
operations. It did not keep the wheat
and corn from growing. It did not
cause the financial panic of year ago,
nor put an end to uproductiye specula~
ton. The business in the country was
overdope. Manufacturers were laying
up stocks for which there was no de-
mand; railroads were being built for
which there was no use; emigration was
checked, and there was a decrease in
the railroad business as well as any
other. People don't travel as much
when they have no money as when they
have plenty; the quantity of freight is
lessened,not so many cars are needed;
there are fewer repairs to be made, and
naturally smaller force Of operatives
required. But the railroad companies
naturally want the Potter law made as
obnoxious as possible to the people of
Wisconsin, and it appears that they
make special effort to be as unaccom~
modatiug as possible, to reduce the
number of their employees, and their
wages as far as practicable, and when
asked for explanations, to saddle the
whole trouble On the sPotter Law.
1t is a curious sort of logic which
proves that the reduction of the price
Of commodity lessons its sale, or that
less people will travel at the rate of
three cents mile than at four cents.
It is time the companies were learning
that the people are not fools.
