In unquestloning faith that the
privileges and advantages would be
continued, subject only to change
by some convulSion of nature, we
fixed our homes at this point near
the mouth of the St, Louis, since
known as Superior in Wisconsin.
Located at the western extremity OF
a great chain OF lakes whose naviga-
ton was nearly uninterrupted from
Buffalo to point almost 400 miles
west of Chicago, on a barbOr unsur-
passed on the entire chain Of lakes,
in the direct line of thorouohfare
which our American faith establish
ed IN the near future between the
Atlantic and Pacific, surrounded by
a fertile but timbered belt Of coun-
try, and within easy reach Of the
boundless prairies of whose exhaust
less fertility the world was just be-
coming aware, approved by such
tar-seeing statesmen as Stephen 4.
Douglas, Isaac |. Stevens and that
Whitney who in advance Of his fel-
lows, at the imminent peril Of beng
charged Il lunatic, first advanced the
idea of connecting the two oceans
by the iron rail, Superior gave pro
mise to her citizens that might well
eXalt them to the pinnacle of self
gIorification.
And that promise did not deceive
us. ihe future which seemed so
near, was removed somewhat by
the panic Of 1857, and again by the
war of 1861, but the summer of
1869 saw the waters Of the Mssis-
sippi and St Louis-of the Gulf Of
Mexico and St. Lawrence-connect-
ed in theinterest of commerce by
the iron horse, and though not on
the exact line desired by her citi-
zens, yet touching on lhe Bay Of
Superior, and it was clear that Su-
perior and the State Of Wisconsin
were bound to reap the benefit it.
This was SO clear that the builders

CASE UP 70 THE TIME or THE
WASHBURN SETTLEMENT.
The situation and condition of the
Superior and Duluth controversy in
tie courts at The time Gov Wash
burn made a settlement with the
North Pacific Railroad Company.
are understood TO be rs follows:
In June, 1872, II. 5. Orton, OF
Madison, and II. n. Setter, Of Supe-
rior, were employGi to commence
proceedings to remove the dyke
from the bay Of Superior, and close
the canal across Minnesota point
In former suit, in the name Of
the United States, conducted by
Senator Carpenter, stipulation had
been entered, allowing the canal to
be made, on condition Of the build
ing Of a dyke across the bay Of Su-
perior in such way as to prevent
the St. Louis river from flowing ont
Of such canal Under that stipula-
Jon, the dyke had been constructed
across the bay, 50 as f. cut off Wis
consin from the navigation Of large
portion of said bay, and from access
to the Northern Pacific Railroad at
| Duluth
In this way, the dyke became to
Wisconsin the greater nuisance, and
before she could complain Of the
canal, as being q diversion Of the
st. Louis river, the dyke must be
removed. Accordingly, a bill was
fled for this purpose IN the circuit
court Of the United states Of Min-
nesota, believing that that court had
jurisdiction, and that it was most
proper to bring suit in that court in
stead OF the Supreme Court OF. the
United States, on account Of its be-
ing more convenient, cheaper and
more expeditions. That court, how
ever, and as it is believed by many
lawyers, wrongly, dsnied the iuris-
dlctlon and dismissed the suit
Suit was then brought in the SUI
preme Court Of the United States,
by bill in chancery, in which the re-
moyal of the dyke, and the abaIe-
ment Of the nuisance were prayed.
BY consent Of the Governor,
Enoch Totten, Esq, Of ashington
City, was employed as counsel in
the case, for the purpose of filing the
papers, entering necessary rules,
and receiving service, to save the
expense Of the others making so
many visits to Washington upon
the day of argument, or hearing.
The bill bears the name Of S. ).
Barlow, the Attorney General. and
H. S. Orton, as solicitors, and of
Enoch Totten and H. n. Setter, as
of counsel
The bill was printed and the re-
quisite number filed and served, and
subppnas in chancery issued against
the city of Duluth, the Northern Pa
citic Railroad Company, and Sidney
Luce, the Mayor Of Duluth, the de
PENDANTS, and were returnable and a
rule entered 10 answer by the lst
Monday of February, 1878
The subppnas had been served
but no demurrer or answer had been
filed M to the time Of the settle
ment of the matter by the Governor.
1t was expected by the attorneys
that the only defence that would be
made would be to the jurisdiction of
the court, as the defendants could
not deny under oath the allegations
of the bin, and that if the court en-
tertained Jurisdiction, the decree Of
abatement Of the nuisance was iaeu-
table.
To this end Mr.. Orion prepared a
brief upon the questions involved,

of conversation with one of its subscrlb.

collected a funny occurrence of that char

family wero great borrowers, but seldom,
if ever, returning the exact amount ber-
rowcd. An old Quaker lady, another
neighbor, who had endured these ipvasoss
for long time patiently, hit upon very
philosophical mode Of eventually putting
stop to the nuisance. Keeping her own
counsel, the next time her good man went to
town he had separate and express order
to purchase pound Of the best tea, and
also new canister to put it in. AS he
knew she already had plenty Of tea, and
also canister, be was puzzled to deter.

tea and new canister, but his question

than a repetition Of the order.

And go along he did, and when be came
home at night, the tea and new canister
were his companions. The old lady took
them from him with an amused expression
on her usually placid features, and depos-

good old lady loaned generously, emptying
back in the canister any remittance OF

science inclined her TO make. Time went
on, and after something less than the one

The National Liquor Commission.

The bill, as passed by the Senate, is as
follows:
Be it enacted, ETC., That there shall be
appointed by the President, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate, a
commission of five persons, neither OF whom
shall be holder Of any Office Of profit or
trust in the general or State government.
The said commission shall be selected SOLE
" with reference to personal fitness and
capacity fer an honest, impartial and thor
ough Investigation, and shall hold office
until their duties shall be accomplished,
but not to exceed one year. 1t shall be
their duty to investigate the alcoholic and
fermented liquor traffic and manufacture
having special reference to revenue and
taxation; III distinguishing as far as pos
sible in the conclusion they arrive at be-
tween the effect produced by the use of
distilled or spirituous as distinguished from
the use of fermented or malt liquors, in
their economic, criminal, moral and scien-
tiic aspects, IN connection with pauper-
ism, crime, vice, the public health and
general welfare of the people; also to in
quire and take testimony as to the practi.
cal results of license and restrictive legis-
laticn for the prevention Of intemrsrapce
in The several States, and the effect pro-
duced by such legislation upon the con-
sumption Of distilled or spiritucus liquors
and of fermentcd or malt liquors, and also
ascertain whether the evil of drunkenness
has been increased or decreased thereby
whether the use of opium as a stimulant
and substitute fer alcoholic drink has be-
come more general in consequence of such
legislation, and whether the public morals
have been improved thereby. 1t shall
also be the duty of said commission to
gather information and take testimony as
to whether the evil of drunkenness exists
to the same extent or more so In other civ
ilized countries, and whether those nations
that are considered the most temperate in
the use of stimulants are SO through pro-
Military laws; also to what degree pro-
hibitory legislation has affected the con-
sumption and manufacture of malt and
spirituous liquors in this country.
Section 2. That the commissioners, all
of whom shall net be advocates for prohlb-
itory legislation or total abstinence in re-
lati0n to alcoholic or fermented liquors,
shall serve without salary and shall have
authority to employ secretary at rea.
sonal compensation not to exceed $4,000
per annum, which, with the necessary ex-
penses incidental to such investigation, not
exceeding $4,000, for both the secretary
and commissioners, shall be paid out Of
any money in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated, upon vouchers to be APP
proved by the secretary of the treasury,
and for this purpose the sum Of $4,000
is hereby appropriated. 1t shall be the
further duty of said commissioners to re-
port the result of their Investigation, and
the expenses attending the same, to the
President, to be by him transmitted to
Congress.
