Jay cooke ard Edgar Thompson,

The following are the remarks
made BY Gov. w. /. Banning, Of ST.
Paul, At the recent lake and harbor
convention, in connection with the
resolution acknowledging the graft
tnde Of the country 70 Jay Cooke
and the late J. Edgar Thompson:
/, with you, gentlemen Of the
convention, have listened with pro
found attention to the proceedings
just coming to close-wijh you
have ielt the eloquent appeal made
by the arguments and statistics
presented, as some Of the means re-
quired to challenge the attention Of
the country, and to urge ihe action
OF congress to secure the results
asked by the convention. It must
be plain TO al that this is no local,
40 sectional, question. The open
ing Of the great lakes from Duluth
TO the Atlantic-the only means by
which TO reach the Lowest rate of
transportation from and to the
x est--is a work demanded by the
most vital interests Of the people Of
the country. The Northern Pacific
road-more than one-third com
p!oted, and pushing on to the Pa
ciic, with it's connections, viii soon
be ready 10 carry the productions
OF new empire as well IS It's share
Of iho trans-Paciic commerce
through this channel to tie mar
kets Of the world. Who shall esti-
mate, WHO shall limit this.
The most thoughtful, the most
enthusiastic, the most eloquent
member Of this convention, cannot
state, limit, OF describe, in any
language, the vastness Of its pro
portions its wide and f2r-reaching
benefits in increasing and distribut-
ing the necessities and luxurlea OF
life, but, further than this, who
does not recognize III the results

DECISION As 10 TAX CRaT1F,c-
ATEs.-A case relating TO the va
idity Of deeds acquired by fore
closure on tax certificates, and OF
the utmost Importance TO holders
and purchasers Of tax certificates,
wes decided By Judge Mann, Of the
Milwaukee county court, recently.
The suit was that of w. J. Dervin
KS. J. Y. Y. Plato: action brought
to toreclose on a tax certificate. OF
late it has ceen the practice Of pur-
chasers Of tax certificates TO fore
close upon the property ia the game
manner and by the same process
that . foreclosure would be made
on mortgage; it being the gen
orally conceived legal opinion that 3
deed thus procured was stronger
than q deed procured without he
regular sale a'cpding a successful
foreclosure. Judge Mann complete
" reversed the popular legal op.n-
ion BY declaring that a foreclosure
and sale Of property OIL tax GER
tiHcate was wholly unconstitutional

error is the biggest, longest and
most fatal Of al Of them. Stay at
home with your parents and books
Look for something to DO; there IS
plenty Of it everywhere if you will
bat take hold.
1t is youl. duty to be industrious
and energetic. Life was not given
you for idle pleasure; it was given
you that YOU might improve your
self, gIorify God, bless your fellow
men With good examples as well as
good deeds Remember that the
errors of to-day can never be cor
rectcd. The little fountain that
gushes out OF the mountain TOP and
hUrries on to the great ocean cannot
90 back TO its source and retrace
It's steps. Like that little fountain
yon are leaping down the hill of
Time TO the great ocean Of eternity.
All along the way OF life there
stands q sentinel OH either side,
above and below, who records your
every thought, word and deed.
That these reports may be good,
make haste to improve every mo
ment of life, make haste to be just,
honest, truthful and honorable in
all things. Go At it nov. This is
the time. This - The most import
ant moment Of them all, because it
will be lost il not used now.-E.r.

BY TELEGRAPH TO THR TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON. Sept 29.-The declarations OF MI.
Tlden in regard to the effect of Southern barbarsm
and the indiscretions of Southern politicians ut the
extra session. telegraphed last night has created
a general STIR among all classes of Democrats here
especially those from the South 1t is accepted as
q true representation OF what Mr. Tilden has re-
Gently said. BY Southern men it is mainly regarded
as a bid for Northern conservative support, when
Mr. Tilden may think is being driven away from
the Democratic party by the late events at the
South and by the work of the extra session. They
compare to his letter Southern claims, as being
exclusively for Northern eifcation.
The more conservative Democrats here treated IL
as startling notice TO the Democrats of the SOUTH
from the man situated as to give II most empha-
sis. that unless they stop their brutality and aban-
don the barbarisms which are rapidly ar0using the
spirit of the North they will so unite the Norh as
insure al overwhelming defeat at the next Natlonal
election. ,r.,
Southern men are indignant. and say that lilden
takes cOwardly advantage of them because ne
knows that Southern Democrats Will vote Tor any
candidate of the party whether he Is the free choice
of the convention or not.
