Railroad Giatters in Stevens Co.

From tho Stevens County Tribune, Jan. 23.
A meeting Of the business of Morris
was called last Monday evening-the
object being to consider the advisabil~
ity of sending delegates to the mass
railroad convention to be held in Sauk
Centre to-day. On motion Hon. H.
W. Stone was elected chairman and
". J. Munro Secretary. After stat
ing the purpose of the meeting and its
object, communication from E. E.
West corresponding Secretary of the
K. R. Committee was read. A gener-
al discussion followed, the majority of
those present expressing themselves in
favor of the proposed road. It seemed
to be generally conceded that it was
simply question Of time before line
Of road running from the head of Big
Stone Lake via Toqua, Morris, Glen~
wood and Sauk Ccptre to Little Falls
would be built, and such being the
case, the majority of those present
deemed it advisable to have the village
represented, accordingly motion was
made that two delegates be appointed,
this was amended to three; and so car
ried-on motion Messrs G. L. Brown,
II. w. Stone and A. B. Steadman were
appointed such committee. From the
large attendance, nearly every firm in
town being represented, we judge that
our citizens are fully alive to the many
advantages offered by the proposed
route, and from the remarks offered
are also of the opinion that this
village and county will do all that
is required of US in this matter.

Hayes Custom House appointments
within the party ranks let him do it,
though that will not restore his friends
Arthur and Cornell to their positions.
But it is really amusing to hear the
Senator hurl his keen sarcasm at the
occupant of the Presidential Mansio n.
"Mr. Hayes" said he the other day in
executive session, "has shown this
committee no consideration and is en-
titled to none." Whereupon Mr..
Wheeler, the legislative half of the
fraud, promptly called the New York
Senator to order for emitting to use
the title Of "President." Il am not out
of order,'' responded the New York
Senator, "because when I speak of
Mr.. Hayes I am not speaking of the
President" This coming from the
Democratic side would be right and
proper, but from Senator Conkling, who
helped to place Mr.. Hayes in a
position that didn't belong to him,
when it was in his power to have pre-
vented it, the point of the utterances.
like a two edge sword, cuts both ways.
A joint committee Of both houses of
Congress is tlnkering away at some
provisions for taking the next census
The bill recently introduced by Mr..
Cox, of New York, has been adopted,
except the section relative to the ap-
pointment of Supervisors. Mr.. Cox
proposed to have this doEe by the
Governors Of the different States, but
as part of the States have Democratic
Governors the Republicans object to
this, and want to fix it so that only
Republicans can be appointed. AS
the work is to be done during the
year of the Presidential campaign, it
would seom entirely proper to have it
as far removed from federal patronage
as possible, and Mr.. Cox's plan is cer>
tainly as near noppartisan as can be.
The special agents and experts being
under the control of the Superintend-
ent, who is to be a federal appointee,
that is enough. The federal patron
age is already enormous, and politics
enter too much into every department
Of public business. Notable society
events have not been numerous so far.
Receptions at the White House are
more slimly attended than ever before.
