The Railroads and the Farmers.

Col. W. f. Villas, the famous Wisconsin
orator, delivered the annual address before
the Minnesota State Fair, and chose for his
theme the Railroads and the Farmers,
and tried to point out their reciprocity of
interest. A few extracts frem his admira-
BILE speech will interest the reader:
Before railroads were devised, there
was no extensive freight communication
but by water. And that vas valueless an
less conveniently accessible. From
this the agriculture of past ages
gathered around the seas and lakes, or
lined the rivers margin. Ii girt the Med
iterranean, and made famouslhe valley Of
the Nile. The unwatered world of the in
terror was left to the wandering nomad or
the forest barbarian. 1t was the unknown
great Hercynian wood was the home of
beasts, brute and human, the latter the
ever impending peril, and finally the des-
troyer of the civilization of the world. The
reserve corps of barbarism lay back on the
plains of Russia and Tartary, which
nourished the fierce savages
who could live on equine
flesh and carouse on the milk of
mares. So, too, water communication was
slow and tedious, even when accessible.
That is trpe, especially of inland naviga-
ton. It is weeks by water from St Paul
to New York, though the aid of steam be
invoked; and northern climes of navigation
is available for but half the year. Your
magnificent wheat fields would mostly be
unbroken, farmers of Minnesota, had not
the invention and enterprise of other men,
stimulated by your demands, laid the dou-
le-ined highway by which the freight
car bears your precious berry to the sea.
II l. -. "a 4 L.,
Territories of the West.
Your lands derive their value, your in
dustry its reward, your homes the luxuries
and many of the comforts they exhibit, from
the well-abused railroads of the CONT
nent.
But while we do them justice, let us not
forget there are doubtless many faults to be
corrected and abuses to be reformed in the
administration of these highways. Cor
porate powers and corporate values have
advanced with more rapid step than the
invention of our statesmen and law w-makers.
The agency of the corporation is compare
lively modern, and, like the agency Of
steam, is q mighty power. Unless subdued
by the proper appliances Of law sufficient to
control it, we are liable to disasters as ru-
inous to our welfare as the accidents which
sometimes befall the train are destructive
of life.
But must not protract this weary hour
to discuss this problem foreign to my sub
jecs. Important as it is, we need not fear
it. The railroad. rightly used, is the friend
of the farmer and the whole people. 1t is
the paramount interest Of its owners that it
should 80 remain. They dare not make it
an enemy, and when We reflect that single
invention-the steel rail-has reduced the
freight tariff forty per centum, We may
trust somewhat to time and genius to re-
lieve the inconvenience, and continue to
enjoy its blessings with composure."

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
The king of Hawaii in the course 0f his
homeward return after a journey around the
world. has lately visited this country While
our relations with that kingdom are friendly,
this government has viewed with concern the
efforts to seek replenishment Of the diminish
ing population of the islands from outward
sources to degree which may impair the ma
tive sovereignty and independence in which
the United States was among the first to testify
q lively interest
UNINIPAIRED AMNESTY.
Relations of unimpaired amnesty have been
maintained throughout the year with the re-
spective governments of Austria, Hungary,
Belgium, Denmark, Hayti, Paraguay and Uru-
quay, Portugal, and Sweden and Norway, and
this may also be said of Greece and Ecuador
although our relations with those states have
for some years been severed by the with
drawal of appropriations for diplomatic rep
resentatlves at Athens and Quito. 1t seems ex-
gedient to restore those missions, even on re-
auced scale, and decidedly recommend sucl
likely within the near future to play an i'm
portant part among the nations of the south
ern Pacific.
INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS WORK.
At its last extra session the senate called fol

of the wounded in war; | trust that this actor
foreshadows such interest in the subject al
will result in the admission to that humane anC
eommendable engagement
INTERNATIONAL RULES OF THE ROAD.
invite your attention to the propriety o
adopting the new code of International rules
for the prevention of collisions in the higl
seas, and of conforming the domestic
legislation OF the United States thereto
application of conflicting rules in the case o
vessels of different nationalities meeting its
tidal waters. These international rules differ
but slightly from our own. They have beer
adopted by the navy department for the gov
ernance of the war ships Of the United States
on the high seas and in foreign waters, ant
in disseminating the rules and in acquaintinE
the shipmasters with the option of conforming
to them within the jurisdictional waters of th
United States, they are now very general,
known and obeyed.

A Rather Geld Day for Magic.

From the SaR Francisco Post.
Everybody has read the marvellous
stories of travelling magicians. mystifying
the people by exhibiting their skill in pub
he places. Yesterday Baron Seeman was
riding on California street dummy, and
taking in his fellow. passengers with the
usual blandly unconscious eye of the pres
tidigitateur, when he suddenly turned and
said to a rough-looking young man on the
same side: Pardon, my friend, bat you
will lose your watch-the chain is hang
ing" "Haint got no watch, growled the
youth. Excuse me, but you are mistaken.
Look therel" The hoodlum, who unfor-
.tunately had been at the the theatre the
evening before and who had just recognized
the magician's face, took hold of the chain
pulled the watch out Of his pocket, stared
at it moment, and then said: why. to

'Bliged to you, baron" and stepping briskly
from the dummy ran up neighboring al
ley, leaving the baron staring after his
stem -winder with paralyzed expression.

ARMY AND NAVY.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
The accompanying report of the secretary Of
war will make known the operations of that
department for the past year. He suggests
measures for promoting the efficiency Of the
army by adding to the number of officers, and
recommends tho legislation necessary to in
crease the number Of enlisted men
to 10000, to the maximum al
lowed by law This he deems necessary
to preserve the peace and suppress disorders
and marauding in new settlements, to protect
settlers and their property against Indians,
against the encroachments of intruders and to
enable immigrants to establish homes In the
most remote parts of our country. The army
is now necessarily scattered over such vast
extent of territory that whenever an outbreak
occurs reinforcements must be hurried
from many quarters over great
distance and at heavy cost for
transportation of men, horses, wagons and
supplies. 1 concur in the recommendations of
the secretary for increasing the army to the
strength of 1000 enlisted men. 1t appears
by the secretarys report that in the absence OF
disturbances on the frontier the troops have
been actively employed in collecting Indians
hitherto hostile and locating them on their
proper reservations; that Sitting Bull and his
adherents are now prisoners at Fort Randall;
that the Utes have been moved to their reser-

majority of the tribe are now on the reserVa-
,ion. There is need OF legislation to prevent
intrusion upon the lands set apart for the In
dians large military force at great expense
is now required to patrol the boundary line
between Kansas aud the Indian Territory. The
ONLY punishment that can at present be
inflicted Is the forcible removal of the intruder
and the imposition OF pecuniary tlne which
in most cases it is impossible to collect. There
should be penalty by Imprisonment IN such
cases The separate organization OF the sig
nal service Is urged By the secretary of war,
and full statement of the advantages Of such
permanent organization is presented in the re-
rort of the chief signal officer. A de-
tail of the usual work performed
by the signal corps and the weather
bureau is also given IN that
report l ask attention to the statement of the
secretary of war regarding the acquisitions
frequently made by the Indian bureau upon
the subsistence department Of the army, for
the casual support of bands or tribes of In
dians for which appropriations are exhausted
The war department should not be left by rea-
son of inadequate provisions for the Indian
bureau to contribute for the main

INTERNATIONAL.

FORE1GN CoMMEhClAL hEfohlS.
The state department still continues to pub
lish to the country the trade and manufactur-
ing reports received from its officers abroad
The success of this course warrants its con-
tinuance and such appropriation as may be re-
auired to meet the rapidly increasing demand
for these publications with special reference to
the Atlanta cotton exposition, the October
number of the reports was devoted to a collec-
ton of papers on the cotton goods trade Of the
world.
THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
for which, in 1878, congress made provision,
assembled in this city in July last and its
sessions were prolonged until March, although
it reached no specific conclusions affecting the
future action of the participant powers. The
interchange of views proved to be most valu-
able The full protocols of the sessions have
been already presented to the senate.
INTERNATIONAL SANITARY REGULATIONS.
AS pertinent to this general subject, will
call your attention to the operations of the
national board of health, established by act
of congress, approved March 3, 1879;
Its sphere OF duty was enlarged
the last named act the board was required to
investigate such measures as might be deemed
necessary for preventing the introduction of
contagious or infectious diseases from foreign
countries into the United States or from one
State into another. The execution of the rules
and regulations prepared by the board and ap-
proved by my predecessor has done much tc
arrest the progress OF epidemic disease, and
has thus rendered substantial service to the
nation
THE INTERNATIONAL SANITARY CONFERENCE,
to which have referred, adopted the form OF
bill of health to be used by all vessels seek
ing to enter the ports of the countries whose
representatives participated in its deliberations:
This form has been preserved by the national
board of health, and incorporated with its
rules and regulations, which have been ap-
proved by me in pursuance of law The health
of the people is one of supreme importance,
and all measures looking to their preservation,
against the spread of contagious diseases. and
to the increase of our sanitary knowledge for
such purposes, deserve the attention of con-
gress

FEELING TRIBUTE.
To the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States: An appalling calamity
has befallen the American people s:nce there
chosen representatives last met in the halls
where you are now assembled We might else
recall with uuallayed content the prosperity
with which throughout the year the nation has
been blessed. Its harvests have been plenteous,
its varied industries have thriven, the health
Of its people has been preserved It has
maintained with foreign governments the un-
disturbed relations of peace, For these
manifestations of his favor we owe
him who holds our destiny in his hands the
tribute Of our grateful devotion. To that
mysterious exercise of will which has taken
from us the loved and illustrious citizen who
was but lately the head of the nation, we bow
in sorrow and subm ission The memory Of
his exalted character, Of his noble achieve
ments and of his patriotic life will be treasured
forever as a sacred possession of the whole
people. The announcement of his death drew
from foreign governments and peoples tributes
of sympathy and sorrow which history will re-
cord as signal tokens of the friendship of ma
tons and the federation of mankind

intimation that some reduction may soon be
made without crippling the revenue.
TARIFF REVISION
The tariff laws also need revising, but that
a due regard may be paid to the conflicting in
terests of our citizens, important changes
should be made with caution. II q careful re-
vision cannot be made at this session commits
