The actual debt of the United
States, adjusted and not adjusted, at
the close of the war, or rather at the
disbanding Of the Federal army, was
not less than s3,OOO,OOO,OOO. On the
LIST of March last, it was $2,137,315,
989, the reduction in nine-and-a-half
years having been $862,684,011, or
at the rate of over $90,0OO,000 per
annum. Nothing like this, and moth
ing at all comparable to it, illustrates
the financial history of any other ma
ton.

A correspondent writes from
Stockton, CAL, to the Fairbault Re-
publican rs follows: "Prospects for
the present year are not very encour-

Geo. H. Christian, returned
from his trip to California last Thurs
day evening. His reports from the
wheat crop in that State corroborate
former advices. From one half to
two-thirds Of the average crop is the
most that can be calculated on. He
reports that in Central and Southern
Nebraska large breadth of land is
sown in Spring wheat, with the best
of prospects for a good harvest

Mr.. w. H. Moore, for long

nently, but it did not take him long to
make up his mind that he had made
a mistake, and so he at once returned
to Minnesota, where the chances for

better than on the Pacific coast. Cal
ifornia, Mr.. Moore says, is a good
place to live in if a man has plenty of
money, but the last place in the coun-
try for people in poor or even moder-
ate circumstances. Everything is
enormously high, remunerative en-
ployment out of the question, every
thing is overdone and poverty and
distress everywhere prevalent, but
still carloads Of deluded emigrants
are daily pouring in to increase the
vast number of people who have no
means of earning a livelihood, and are
too poor to get away from the imminent
starvation which is destined to sweep
over that unhappy state.-St. Paul

have done was not tested, but I think
he would have studied out the inter-

Mr.. Egan did just what the man.
ayers and owners of the railroad from
St. Paul to Duluth have always
done-opposed the building of the
road from Sank Rapids to Brainerd,
and in this case opposed to the best
of his ability the Delano Bill. Mr..
Egan's arguments were varied and
took wide range. At one time, the
lands talked about were worthless sand
beds and the inhabitants beggars ;
an arid country; impenetrableswamps
nothing in that region to induce the
building of a road /; and Mr.. Gilman
and other members who opposed the
Delano Bill sat and heard the TRADE
delivered without uttering word in
defense. But when the necessity of
the case demanded it, presto change,
those lands and people were all 80
fine and well-to-do, and had been
so attractive to these railroad men
and bondholders
Mr.. Egan talked and worked just
like a lawyer Gas he is) for a client,
and was successful in doing what has
been done so long-stopping all work
on the extensions another season and
possibly for years. l believe a ma
jority of the people of Duluth and Of
