How many Of us but see the ex-

have it stick in tho throat at least
half as often? 1t is coming to be

says, " that's all right
A customer returns a pair Of shoes

jured after a days wear, granting,
they are too small" and the mer.

a church member puts his name
down for $50 TO pay The preacher and

a loafer makes a regular practice
of coming into printing office, aud
begging copy Of the paper, stating
that " he wants 10 read it." and as

An oxtrayagant debtor tells "A pa

CHURCH DANCING AND EucImE.- -
The following we find in the Charlton
Leader of Last week. Is it joke, or
otherwise2:
Last week in the joyous innocence
OF our exhnbernnt feelings over the
ball and euchfe party. in MalloFy's
Hall, We ascrihed all the merit aud
success of the pleasant occasion, to the
energy and tact OF the members of the
Episcopal church Of this place. Since
Then We have been reliably informed
that we did great injustice To other
parties in overlooking their claims 20

aud that instead of being exclusively
an Episcopal affair, il WAS In fact sl-
perintonded hy members OF all the
churches. We cheerfully give al the
managers of the party the benefit Of
this correction.

CAPTAIN ROACH of the steamship,
West Indian, plying between Mexico,
Texas and Baltimore, lately did sharp
thing. The daughter Of wealthy
Mexican don was running away with
her husband, whom she had just mar
ried against her fathers will. They
were both young and she was beautiful.
They had come aboard ut Vera Cruz,
with two boxes of Mexican specie and
high hopes. When the West Indian
stopped at Brazos the irate father of
the bride and his duslly followers came
aboard and demanded his daughter
Captain Roach refused to give her up
without an order from tire city author
tiles. The old man went to interview
the authorities, and before he could
get back with the documents Captain
Roach and the West indian had moved
on. He hurried up his business and
hastened his departure, because he did
not want to lose any of his passengers.
So the old don lost his daughter and
ducats, and the vessel had II prosperous
passage to Baltimore.

TERMS
Senate consumed most

The Senate consumed most OF
Wednesday, discussing the bill con-
ferring the St. Croix land grant on
the North Wisconsin X. r. Compa-
ny; finally fixing the forfeiture at
$4,000 a mile. By telegram from
Madison, it seems that on Thursday
the bill was amended by giving a
portion of the grant to the Chicago
and North Pacific Air Line; we
suppose that portion Of the lands,
from Superior to the point of inter-
section with the line to Bayfield,.
Whether or not this is a good ar
rangement for Superior, we are not
at present prepared to say. The
Assembly has yet to consider the
disposition Of the grant, and as the
Wisconsin Railway Company is al
so an applicant, we must wait a
while longer before knowing the
final result.
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1874-02-14

enable it TO begin the work early in the
! spring. The interests Of Northwestern Wis
consin demand the proposed road and any
unnecessary delay or small spite-wOrk to de-
| feat the bestowment of the grant upon some
reliable company, will not be looked upun
with favor by the people.
In this connection we would respectfully
yet earnestly admonish the legislature against
any scheme to make a condition of bestowine
the grant that other extraneous. outside
roads should be constructed. In discussing
this question last winter, the Democrat inva-
rably held that there was no authority for
tacking on such conditions under the acts of
Congress making. the giant In the act of
Congress referred to we find the following
plain and unequivocal laoguage: Provided
further that the laads .ieaaby granted shall
be ecclesigely applied Ia lie construction Of he
road for aclich II 1ras granted and dee7eI. and
shall be disposed of only as the work pro
crosses, and shall be APPLIED TO NO OTHER
PURPOSE WHATSOEVER" And again it saws:
The said lands shall be subject to .he dis
posal of said state FOR THE PURPOSE AFoRE
SAID AND NO OTHER" It would SEEM that
these provisions were sufficiently explicit to
put any doubt at rest as to the authority of
the legislature TO load the bill confirming
this grant with conditions for the building of
other roads than the St Crox and Lake Su-
perlo- road.
As to the parties who shall obtain the
grant we have no especial preferences, ex-
cept that the lands shall be conferred upon
some company that honestly intends to build
the road and for that reason will give ample
security therefor Last winter the North
Wisconsin Company was an applicant for the
grant. We thought then that company had
the strongest claims for the lands-claims
founded in justice and equity We have
never been convinced that the last legisla-
ture acted wisely when it bestowed the grant
upon another company. But the lapse of
year has not lesscned or weakened the claims
Of the North Wisconsin Company. And
whatever company receives the grant, the
legislature firm yet reasonable in its require
ments should see to it that the State is pro-
perly secured and the road not unduiv ham,
pered.
The above fair and sensible arti-
Gle we copy from the Madison
Democrat of the 18th.

THE SAINT CROLI LAND GRANT
SPEEDY ACTION OF THE
LEGISLATURE NEEDED.

The present Legislature ought to take
prompt and decisive action in disposing of
the St. Croix Land Grant. We have no
sympathy with that class of persons who are
indifferent as TO whether the grant is saved
to the State or allowed to revert to the Gen
eral Government. Desiring the construction
of the land grant road, we hope TO see the
lands speedily bestowed upon some company
that will build the road. Prompt action is
demanded, because whatever company re-
ceiyes the title 10 the lands from the State
an extension of time or a renewal will need
be sought from Congress before the close of
the present session. Again, as a reason why
speedy action should be taken ny the Legis-
lature is, that the company accepting the
grant will want as much time as possible in
which to negotiate the sale of its bonds to

SUPERIOR Maroon CONTROVERSY

SUPERIOR HARBOR CONTROVERSI
THE F1SHBURN COMPROMISE.
We last week commented at some
length, upon the legaiity Of the com
promise or surrender of Gov. Wash
burn, concerning Superior Harbor.
in the course of which we think it
was made to appear that such com
promise was illegal. And we this
week proceed to consider the expe-
diency of that compromise.
Before entering upon this division
Of the subject however, we feel con
strained TO notice one Of the aSser-
tionS Of fact contained in the report
Of Gov. Washburn dated Jan'y 8,
1874. communicated to the Legisla-
ture by message of Gov. Taylor. In
this it is explicitly declared, that
1.-the obstruction formed by the dyke
mas been removed.
Gov. Washburn has been misin-
formed. or his attachment to his
compromise has beclouded his intel
lect. or he could never have pub
lished such a statement.
SO far is "the obstruction formed
by the dyke" from being removed,
that there is only an opening through
the dyke tor the passage OF boats,
perhaps 100 feet wide, and 50 flank
