in Gillespie county. Pretty early for

Austria has recently taken action on
questions of forest and agricultural
economy which might with advantage
be followed in this land of broad, tree
less prairies. Our trees arerapidly fall
ing beneath the woodman's relentless
AK. We use great deal OF timber
every year, and waste more than we
use. Our forest supply is constantly
diminishing, and little if any efforts
are being made TO meet the demands
of the future. Trees could be success
fully planted and raised on large por-
tions of our prairies, and if this were
done the effect would be doubly bene-
fetal; first, by furnishing a supply OF
timber for future wants, and second, by
favorably acting on the climate in our
prairie regions.
The constantly increasing demand
for railway sleepers, as well as of
wood for fences, fuel and other uses,
makes this timber question a very i'm
portant one. Every man may not he
able to plant as many trees as heuses,
but some can plant much more, and all
who do so may set up fair claim to
being considered benefactors of their
race.-[New Orleans Times.

A Sad Coincidence.

Edward Parker, Of Saltwater, the
young man who was so badly scalded
by the bursting of the steam pipe on
tho tow beat Penn Wright, near Vino
ma, on Tuesday, died Of his injuries on
Friday afternoon. Tho remains were
taken to Saltwater last night i, charge
Of Captain Pevey and the mother Of
the unfortunate man. It is a singular
coincidence that his father, who was a
raft pilot, was fatally injured a few
miles above Winona several years ago
while snubbing raft. He was brought
to this city for surgical treatment, aud
his wifs was summoned to attend him.
An examination Of his injuries salts
fed the surgeons that his leg would
have to be amputated, and it was &C.
eotdingly done, but the man, We be-
lieve, subsequently, died from the
shock to his system. Years afterward
bis son, following similar business, is
fatally injured near the same spot, and
the afflicted mother. is once more sum-
moned to Winona, this time to sootho

out, and the horses became unmanage-

carriages, horses, men, women and
children were all thrown into mass,
the horses kicking nd'pluugihg. Il
was frightful scene, and it was 9

capped alive. A number Of persons
hurried to the rescue and the
injured parties released from Their
perilous position. Mr.. Joss had hi:
collar bone broken. Mrs. Joss had an
arm broken, and the Child was badly

POLITICAL.

But few years ago the Republican
party of Mower county was ovcrwhc.m-
ing]y strong. In every official position
it was thoroughly entrcnched, and SEEM
ingly inprcgnablc. Its officers, not fear
ing exposure from the opposition which
was weak, and numerically small, began
the practice Of fraud and pcculation,-
enriching themselves by plundcring the
public treasury. Indignant at such
treachery the people demanded that
these unfaithful servants should be ex.
PEELED from the positions Of trust, which
they had disgraced. Having grown
powerful through the emoluments of Of
fee, resistance was vigorous and pro
tractcd, and only after years of warfare,
was the management of public affairs,
wrenched from the hands of dishonest
men. In the struggle, personal feeling
became a principle element,-so strong
in fact, as to divide the party, and when
the old crowd was exercised, its exit was
attended by large number of abb erents
who preferred to follow the fortunes of
their old leaders, rather than to take part
in establishing an honest administration
ofpolitical affairs. Tie sloughing off
from tts ranks of this bad element, which
at encc allied itself with the democracy,
left the party with scarcely more than
working majority, which it held until
last fall, when disintegrated by an un-
healthy censorship, and-in some cases
unfortunate nominations, it met with a
temporary defeat, damaging the victors
however, more than the vanquished.
The disastrous consequences of last
falls expcriment-so far as the lcgisla-
tive ticket is conccrned-arc realized too
keenly by all republicans, to make their
repetition possible. We have never re-
garded the "change front" of the party
in this county, as an evidence of perma'
nent gain to the democracy. No one has
ever SO regarded it. Personal detection
and the cupidity Of the foreign born vo-
tiers concerning the Office Of county
<+easurer,--for which a large majority
desired tlls denomination Of Mr.. Irgcns
led to the temporary withdrawal Of near
~ the entire foreign element. In SO
doing, that class ayoxcd no change of
political vicws,-lndcrwen no change
but merely manifested disposition to
subordinate party, to what seemed to
them, the more important question OF
personal preference. This xas their
privilege, and they exercised it, but It
argues nothing concerning their ta,t,lre
course. AS to whom should have charge
Of the county treasury, politics was Con.
ccrned but very little indeed; nor yet
was it vastly important in any political
sense that one rather than an other should
have gained the asccndcncy last full
but when the election of a congressman
Is pending, and the importance of polit
1cal principles. as that Office is affected
by them. looms up before the masses,
they will maturciy consider the conse.
quenccs before they take the hazard OF
voting for democratic candidate, !.

In order to understand the changes
made, it must be borne in mind that
the maximum rate her etofore allowed by
law has been five cents per mile. On
nearly one half the roads it will be seen
no reduction has been made, the rate be.
ing left at the maximum Of five cents
per mile. The table of freight tariffs is
so extensive and minute in its details
that we omit it it entirely. The commit
tee say that a thorough examination has
convinced them that nearly all the lines
are running at rates scarcely sufficient to
meet running expenses, and that any
such reduction as has been anticipated
by the people would be runious to the
companies operating the roads.
