The r. r. Extension Question.

There was railroad meeting held
at Dodgeville or the 9th alt, and
the results are thus given IN the
Chronicle: "Some two hundred
voters were present, and the question
of aiding the extension of the Min
eral Point railroad was very fully
discussed by number of speakers,
in all its various bearings, each one
who spoke, we believe, expressing
himself in aiding the read, at least
to some extent. But so far as
throwing any definite light on the
question as to whether the people Of
Dodgeville would vote $40, 900 aid to
the road, the meeting cannot be set
down as q success Some of the
speakers were willing to vote 1884,
900 +; some 10000 no one spoke in
favor of more than 100000; while
one was willing to vote reasonable
amount, after the road should be
completed to this place. but thought
Mr.. Cobb ought to trust to our honor
sufficiently not to ask us to vote it
in advance. This proposition was
received with demonstrations Of
pleasure by almost the entire audi
ence, and il Mr.. Cobb will take that
view of the case there is no question
that the people of Dodgeville will
acquiesce unanimously.
Seriously we have no doubt that
the people of Dodgevile want the
Mineral Point railroad, and that
large majority of them will vote to
aid it to reasonable extent when
they have an opportunity. But we
would suggest that they have no
means of knowing what reasonable
amount of aid would be. If Mr..
Cobb wishes aid from Dodgeville,
let him complete his estimates OF the
cost Of the construction, submit his
definite proposition for fair amount
Of aid, considering the cost, and in
form the people of the amount of
money which will be spent in the
town in the construction of the road,
and our word for it he will find the
people of Dodgeville more than
ready to grant him the aid asked
The meeting on last Saturday dem
onstrated that while the people are
doubtless willing to aid the road,
they don't want TO pay cent more
than they ought to in fairness, aud
that the only way to get a satisfac-
tory expression of their views is by
vote upon the definite proposition.
A committe, consisting of the
town board and two members OF the
village board, to be selected by that
body, was appointed to confer furth-
or with Mr.. Cobb, and to report at
another meeting, to be held on the
10th inst We sincerely trust that
the committee and Mr.. Cobb may
come to terms, and that the next
meeting may be business one, with
something definite to talk about"

They made solid increase in their
products of Sil6,000,000. This is
handsome pocket money and besides,

have been distributed where its

know there is grave danger in a split,
and that with any nomination by them
such as that of Mr.. Tilden they would
lose half a. dozen southern states.
Party ties hang on more loosely in
many parts of the south to-day than
in the north and west, and that is say
ing.a great deal. Meantime the friend
" attitude ofthe ~ex-president toward
the south placed the republicans here
for a while in an embarrassing posi-
ton. The third termers had not got
their cue, but they are getting it.
They adroitly put upon Mr.. Edmunds
who is not a third termer at all, the
ugly duty of resisting the reform of
the elections marshals law; they
stirred UP friends of Blaine and Sher-
man to commit the stupidity in the
house of insisting on the troops at the
polls, and the same purblind set have
been moved to plead with the presi-
dent to veto both the election mar
shals bill and the prohibition of troops
at the polls.
BAD JOKE ON OTHER CANDIDATES.
1t would be a bad joke on Blaine,
Sherman and Edmunds if the third
termers should presently repudiate all
this folly and follow their leader in a
brand new republican programme Of
southern Cancellation aud letting by
cones be by cones, and having an era
of good feeling and encouragement in
the south. That is the way it looks
here just now, and there is not the
least doubt that such a programme,
under the leadership of the ex-presi-
dent, would make a revolution in
southern politics which would sweep
the southwest and carry for him at
least six of the southern states. That
.he ex-presidentcou accomplish this
has been for some time the principal
argument for his nomination among
the third termers here, and there are
democrats who begin to see that they
must nominate a ticket which will
carry northern states rather than
southern.
TROUBLE OF THE THIRD. TERRIERS.
The trouble with the third -termers
is not about the south, but about the
north. They do not feel quite GER
tain how the northern republicans
will take so sudden a somersault as
that which the ex- president is making
or whether they will trust the new
policy, which looks both ways and
teaches distrust and hatred Of the
south in the north, while it smiles
upon the south in the south. This is
the real problem which troubles their
minds-whether an open alliance be.
tween southern bourbons and north
ern third termers would not alarm
and disgust the north.

Washington Special to the N. Y. Herald
WASHINGTON, July 16.-General
Tom 0chiltree, of Texas, who accom-
panied the ex.president on his south
ern tour, until within two or three
days, has arrived here and reports
that the enthusiasm for the e%x-presi-
dent all through the southwestern
states is very great. His brief and
conciliatory speeches have every
where, he says, been received with
shouts of applause, and he has virtual
Iy captured the southwest. lie be-
lieves that the ex-president enjoys
unbOunded popularity in that section
to. day, aud hat the southwest will
ardently support him for the third
term and give him an overwhelming
vote. His reception since he landed
in Galveston, General 0chiltree says,
has been a continued ovation. There
has been nothing like it in this coun
try for years; the northern press re-
ports have entirely failed to do Justice
to it.
1t is probable that some of the other
republican candidates will regret, now
that it is too late, that they have so
persistently refused to show them
selves to the southern people. Several
of them have been at different times
urged and invited to make a tour Of
the south or to take a part in the can
vass in that section, but they have
always refused. Mr.. Blaine has been
as far south as Richmond. Nj. Sher-
man has been in New Orleans, but il
was on the disgraceful business OF
whitewashing the Louisiana returning
board, whom, with curious hardihood,
he reported to be as honest men as
himself. No other republican Of sufi
Gent prominence to make him a IN
didate has dared to see the south
since the wal except on returning
board business.

How They Churn in Texas.

ing butter that will, l think, make
New England folks open their eyes.
Commonly, they do not make much
butter in this country, and the set
tiers here come to get along without
it; but by the time [ had been at the
poesta two or three days, l began to
want some butter on my bread.
NJ had a herd of % or 30 cattle,
which he kept for beef, and among
them a number of milch COWS. Ea
was hidden to set the milk for "A
hours; and then the next morning
NJ told Lizardo, or Liz" as we
called him, to churn. They had done
such a thing as to churh before it ap-
pears. Liz went out and brought a
bag Of raw hide, about as large as a
common meal bag. How clean it was
inside, | am sure | do not know; but
he turned the cream into it, and pour
ed in new milk enough to fill it two
thirds full; and then he tied it up
with a strong strip Of hide.
M stood with a broad grin on
his face. l was already too much as
tonished to make any remarks. Liz
now carried the bag out of doors, and
then got on his horse. Taking his
lasso off the saddle, he made n end
Of it fast to the cream bag, the other
end, as usual, being attached to the
ring in the saddle. This done. he
jumped on the horse and tucked
spurs to him. Away he went,
and at the FIRST jerk that bap
went 10 feet in the air, and fell
with a squach, close up at the horses
heels. AT the next jerkit went higher
still. He soon went out 0 sight, with
the bag dancing after him. Sometimes
it hit down alongside the horse, anC
sometimes it struck slap on the ami
mails rump. M was convulseC
with la~ughter-at me, | suppose; for ]

must confess that this unset all my
previous ideas Of butter making. In
the course Of twenty or thirty min
utes, Liz came back, the horse look
ing pretty hot, and the bag very dusty.
"Es manticap Cutters Gomez, said
he. Ed. united the churn, and sure
enough, there was a good homely
chunk of butter in it, and it proved
to be very decent butter too. l asked
if that was the way they always
churned. They said it was, and Ed.
declared it was "a dale asier than
turning a crank" So | respectfully
submit the method" to all our good
people up north. Everything needed
for it is a sole leather bag, a clothes
line, and a horse.
