low prices, and we know how TO
sympathize with those who broke and
fenced the prairies, who produced
the harvests which feed the world. -
We know the unceasing toll, the weary
limbs, the unrequited labor of those
days, when the tax gather required all
the cash the farm produced in twelve
months. But while we have a lively
memory of those times, it yet seems
to US that war upon railroads, aud
communities of men engaged in other
legitimate callings is not the remedy
for the evil alone. The railroad is an
absolute essential to the prosperity of
every community in the West, enhanc-
ing the value of lands, and their pro.
ducts, aiding locomotion, and they are
one of the worlds acknowledged great
agents of civilization and progress.
A community of agriculturalists to
the exclusion of all other classes would
never be prosperous one. A diverSi-
fed industry is the great want of the
West to day, plan which shall bring
to the door OF the farmer the spindle,
loom and forge of the skilled artisan,
and thus place the producer and con-
sumner in such close proximity to each
other that the market for each should
be at their own doors, and then if the
railroad cannot exist let it PERISH
The West now has enough of agricul
ture, and her need at this hour is that
the manufactures of New England be
transferred to her own towns and vii
lagos and it is a standing reproach to
her that this has not been done. In
| the upper Mississippi valley is unem-
ployed water power to run the machin.
cry of the world, and were the wares
imported into the West made at home
the millions of money now invested
in transportation might go into the
pockets of the people where it rightly
| belongs. ~. n.

Railway Legislation.

On Saturday last the Assembly
drove the last spike on the railway
tariff rates. What is commonly
known as the Potter bill, which orig
mated in the Senate, and which is
Republican measure, has become the
law of the State as regards the rates
to be charged by railway companies.
1t prevents unjust discrimination,
provides for q system of uniform
rates, and provides for a Board of
Railway Commissioners. 1t reduces
the rates of freights in the aggregate
throughout the State about twenty
FIVE per cent below the present rates.
In some localities it makes much
greater reduction, but on the whole
the decrease will reach at least %
ner cent. For instance, on wheat
from Prairie du CHEN to Milwaukee,
the rate now is 20 cents per hundred
weight; the new tariff makes it about
IL cents. 1t is q good bill in the
main. 1t is step, and q very i'm
portant one, in giving the people
what they have demanded, limit to
railway greed. If it has its faults,
that is not to be brought against the
bill, as the question of establishing
rates is a most difficult one to settle,
and if in the attempt to step between
an all powerful monopoly and the
people, an error is made, it can be
soon remedied at the next Legisla-
,ure and in the mean time the peo-
pie will have a little experience in
the practical operations of tariff laws.

Who curtly said he intended to con-

the ladies to dinner, some of them
accepting. Hadlick, the heaviest
lager beer seller in Dayton, who
sells only malt liquors and native
wines, was visited He was curt and
stern, and did not want his business
interfered with. He went outside
with pencil and paper to take
names to prosecute for damage to
his business. The Becher brothers
were visited with similar result,
and the ladies were permitted TO oc-
cupy the saloon. The bar was sur

who occupied the attention of five
bar keepers. The ladies sang, pray
ed and retired
Meantime tho column under Mrs.
Thomas marched to the little saloon
of Henry Smith, on Eighth street,
who had been advertising his place
for sale for 500 for a month past,
and after little he surrendered, the
women congratulating HIM with
feminine fervor. This was the only
success of the day. subsequently
they visited Ross and Theodore Hos
ker, out were denied admittapce by
all but Ross, who held private con-
ference with them in his back room.

In the afternoon the columns al
ternated over the grounds respect
lively traversed 10 the morning AT
Ross's, in the afternoon, there was
much loud, nasty and vulgar talk
that no lady should hear, but this
was an incident that will from day
to day become common. One man
put prayer among the ladies which
almost provoked the crowd into an
unpleasant demonstration. The feel
ing expressed was that men had bet
ter keep away from the women and
do their praying at churches. There
was considerable ribaldry and scott
ing among the outside crowd, and
the first days work was encouraging
only because it was beginning.
All day prayer meetings were held
The work will proceed to-morrow
and tomorrow aud tomorrow but
the enterprise the women's praying
league has assumed is appalling.
The foe they seek to conquer is or
ganized and determined, and it looks
as if nothing but the strong arm OF
law would make an impression upon
them. Most of them care no more
for prayers at their saloons than for
an empty pop-bottle.

The Right to Go to Hell.
From the Wright County (Is.) Monitor. ]

From the Wright County (Ia) Monitor.l
Recently, at revival meeting in
the north part of the county, the ex-
ercises of the evening were closed by
a general invitation to all who want
ed TO see heaven to rise. The entire
congregation, with a solitary excep-
ton in the shape of boy, rose to
their feet. The conductor then
varied the invitation by asking all
who wanted to go to hell to arise
The solitary exception arose to his
feet OF course the good people
were scandalized, and the result was
the arrest of the youth and his trial
for disturbing the meeting. But, to
the intense disgust of those liberal
souls, the Court held that if the boy
wanted to 60 to hell he had as good
a right to express his preference
when called upon to do so as the 9TH
ers had who expressed a preference
for going in q different direction.
So the case was dismissed, and the
boy went on his way rejoicing.

The New Temperance Bill.

The reform temperance bill, which
pnssei the assembly some time ago,
came no in the Senate the fore part
Of last week for consideration. The
republicans made every effort posi-
bio to improve the bill, but as one OF
their number, Senator Qnimby, OF
Sank county, steadfastedly voted
with the reformers, they were defeat
ed in all their efforts, except on one
amendment which restores the Sun
day law. Thus amended, the bill
was ordered to a third reading by
the following vote:
AYES. -Senators Black, Burchard,
Cotzbausen, r. e. Davis, Graham,
Greene, Herrick. KrOuskop, Moore,
O'Rourk, Quincy, Read, Rice,
Schantz, Schlicting, Schmidt and
Wagner IL.
Es.-Senators Barron, Bleek-
aau, Campbell, Fl. N. Davis, Field,
iiiner, Hixon, Holloway, Johnson,
Jones, Little, McCord, McCurdy, Pot
Ter, Scott and Weeks. -16.
All those voting in the affirmative
are reformers except Quimby, and all
those voting in the negative are Re
pnblicans.

McGregor Election.

One of the most decidedly Demo
cratic cities of Northern Iowa 10 Nc.
Gregor. The usual majority in that
s'pocket city" for the opposition has
been 200 to 800. This spring, the
various elem hts of Antimonopolists,
Liberals and Democrats, hoped and
declared that this majority would be
made 500. They went into the con-
test determined that the first gun of
the Spring election in Northern Iowa
should proclaim the increasing glory
of the new party. But alas for their
expectations! Instead of showing
that anti-monopolyism in Clayton coun-
ty is becoming deeper rooted and
more vigorous, and thus surely presag-
ing Republican defeat elsewhere, the
election in McGregor tells very differ
ent story. Anti-monopolism andLiber.
alism and Democracy together have
been proven weaker than Democracy
was alone. The elements would not
fuse into homogeneity, and simply de-
generated into inertness. Instead of
an Anti-Monopoly majority of 500, the
Republicans have carried their Mayor
by l07 majority, and elected Treasurer,
Assessor, and two out of the four
Councilmen. That is q good days
work, and the Republicans of the
"Pocket City" deserve the fullest
need of praise tor their faithfulness
and their energy. Dubuque Times

CHANGE OF ELECTION DAY.-A pee
tition was presented in the United
States Senate the other day propos~
ing sundry important changes in the
present order of things 1t asks that
the Inauguration day of the President
may be fixed hereafter on thesecond
Wednesday in May, and the "short
sessions" of Congress extended for
ward to that time, and that preAiderl-
tlal elections may take Place one
month earlier In support of the
first propositoin, it is urged that the
"short sessions" are now so brief that
but little business can be transacted
that while they were, perhaps.
long enough in the good old tim $.
when the government was small al
fair compared with it's present mag
nitude, they are entirely inadequate

pertinency in this reason 1t is held
to be well nigh Impossible 80 get

northern portions of the Country--in

Meeting band contained four pouches

proved fatal. The children of the

gambling, stock jobbing, ETC.:
"Whoever contracts TO have or give
to himself or another the option to
sell or buy, at future time, any grain
or other commodity, stock of any rail-
road or other company, or gold. or

BEEGHER ON THE TEMPERANCE
MovEMENT.-Henry Ward Beecher,
in the Christian Union, of which be
is the editor, expresses his doubts as
to the righteousness of the tactics
adopted by the ladies of Ohio in the
temperance crusade going forward
there He says
The history of human effort
abounds in examples of permanent
evil following close on the track of
apparent and temporary good and
we frankly confess our fear that,
when all these results, tem porary
and permanent, of this new move
rnent shall be summed up, the show
ing will be disappointment to the
friends of temperance We are very
sure that such result can be avert
ed only by the utmost efforts to
keep tho movement on the high
ground of religious principles, and
thus to save it from the dangers
that attend all such excitements.

"A meeting Of the citizens of Mon
tello was held on Saturday last at
which Governor Taylor was denounc-
cd for issuing the certificates to the
Wisconsin Central railroad Dr..
Pease expressed the opinion "that
Gov. Taylor was simply following o
preconoorted plta made before the
election with the railroad company
ia order to secure the election, /"
The DR.. is said to be very bitter in
his denunciations, declaring the ac-
tion of the governor to be a brazen
attempt to dofraud the people of
their only security OF the railroad
company's performing their duty.
The governor has evidently raised a
