A WASHINGTON correspondent says
that in the little theological discussion
that arose in the Star Route case, the
other day, between MeSsrs. MERRICE
and INGERsoLL, the former gave express
sion to the very proper and correct SEN
timent that q man who did not obey
the laws of his country and respect the
religion ofthe people could not he a good
citizen. This remark of Mr.. MERRICE
was prompted by the dlatribe Of Mr..
INGERsOLL against the Christian relig-
ion, and bis bold enumeration of the idea
that q man was not obliged 20 obey laws
which he might consider to be bad or
unreasonable. There are, perhaps, many
men of equal ability with Mr.. NIGER
SOIL who may be possessed Of more or
less skepticism, but he is the only man
in this day and generation who, in sea-
son and out Of season, takes every OPP
portunity to set up moral and legal
code of his own, and TO assail Christian
ity-that great bulwark Of civilization
and peace.

WHY PASS WEST VIRGINIA:

The purchase Of grazing lands in
Virginia bya number Of gentlemen who
have recently come here from Europe
is referred to with approval by the New
York Times as departure from the
usual custom of "going half way across
the continent" to open new grazing
farms in the far West. agricultural
and mineral resources almost without
number" says the Times, "are neglect
ed in the older States that luck may be
courted in the extreme interior"
We have land as cheap, as produc-
tive, with more coal, more timber,
more minerals in West Virginia, and
with many more inviting opportunities
for the investment Of capital than any
of the extreme Western States can
offer.
Moreover we have less rigorous
climate, less of extremes of heat and
cold, less liability to destructive storms
and cyclones, no malaria, no grasshop-
pers, potato bugs, and like pests, and
there is less yigor of competition in any
lie of industry in West Virginia than
in almost any Western State that could
be selected.
With population not greater to the
square mile than some Of the new States
of the West, We have all the advantages
of admirable free school system; We
have churches in every settlement; We
have an enlightened, settled and exem-
plary population, and in fact nearly all
the home advantages Of the older States
with few drawbacks of the new.
A man can buy farm in West Vir-
pinia, stock it with sheep or cattle, take
his seat and get an adequate support
from the product, or if it be mineral,
coal, or timbered land, wait his time for
q fortune which in a few years railroads
Will bring to every owner Of resources Of
this character.
Yet mon go hurrying through WEST
Virginia to the West, leaving behind
better chances for fortune and good
homes for rough experience, hard
struggle and equal risk Of failure in q.
new country.
Why do they not stop and look at US?

AN ENrERPRraNG COMPANY.

The plucky and enterprising capital
lists who have recently organized the
Postal Telegraph Company, are show
ing more inventive genius and doing
more to improve our telegraph facilities
than any other company that has pre-
coded them.
They have now q line from New York
to Chicago and will soon have one to
Washington and the important sea coast
cities.
The wire used by this company shows
only one-tenth the insular resistance of
the average irou wire and one-fifth Of
the best iron wire. This compound
wire," as it is called, promises to make
a revolution in telegraphy. 1t consists
of q core Of steel wire, able to resist a
great tensible strain, and covered with
copper, which, next to silver, is the best
known conductor. This wire is one
third cheaper than an iron wire of
equal conductivity, and its low resist
ance admits of the use Of batteries Of
only few cells.
The Postal Telegraph Company has
already, according to the money arti-
cles of the New York papers, created
feeling of alarm among Western Union
stockholders. By the patents owned
by the Postal Company it is possible to
send messages both ways at the same
time and at the rate Of 1000 words a
minute.
A postal stamp system is also prom
ised such as is in use in the government
telegraph in England, with cheap and
uniform rates. Among other advant-
ages promised the public is method
by which private commercial and finan-
cial firms may communicate with their
correspondents without the knowledge
or Intervention of the employees of the

And AGAIN:

A few courageous men have undertaken
to build a railroad to MOrgsntown. Their
efforts should be heartily seconded, and

nous support, they are met in some sec
tons with jeers and curses, and predic-
tions OF their failure are openly made.
Suppose they do fail Failure is incident
TO all human enterprises, and II they
should fail, let US give them credit for their
Efforts. II seems to US that II would look
better on our part to resolve that they
should succeed and contribute good will
and more to them. The completion OF the

Enlarging the Work-Indastrial Statistics
to be Compiled.
meeting of the state board Of immi-
grafton was held yesterday afternoon al
the Office of the secretary. After the usual
formal business was transacted the board
passed a resolution authorizing the secre-
tary to collect industrial statistics of the
state, to be used in future publications of
the board and in imparting information
through letters, circulars, newspapers, etc.
The secretary was further
instructed to prepare con-
else description of the state for printing
on the reverse side of a new edition of the
state map, and also descriptions more in
detail of parts of the state, for printing in
circular form. The plan of this work is to
divide the state into six divisions and de-
vote one circular to each division. By
this means special features of the several
sections can be noticed at greater length
and more particularly than in a work of
limited size embracing the entire state:
and moreover public-spirited citizens of
each of the six divisions raay thus use the
publication of the board for the especial
benefit of their own respective localities.
The arrangement will no doubt largely in
crease the usefulness of the board throus h
out the entire state.
The divisions proposed are as follows:
First, south of the Minnesota river
aud extending from the Mississippi
to the west lines of Blue Earth and Fari-
bault counties. Second, west of the above
named counties, and south of the Mime
sofa river. Third, west of the Mississippi
and north of the Minnesota river, and south
of Cass, Wadena, Becker and Clay coun-
ties. Fourth, west of Csss and Beltrami
counties, and north of the third division.
Fifth, Beltrami, Cass, Itasca, st. Louis,
Lake and Cook counties. Sixth, south of
the counties last named, and east of the
Mississippi river.
The consideration of some other matters
was postponed until next Friday afternoon,
until which time the board adjourned.

with her pleasant voice and ways will
charm the audience with vocal solo, while
Mr.. Muehlenbruch and Mr.. Steffanin will
give violin duet. The rest of the pro-
gramme will be filed up with choice selec-
tons, of which one will probably be the
beautiful overture TO the Merry Wives of
Windsor performed at the Choral society
concert last Tuesday night with such strik-
ing effect.

The Riser,

The event Of yesterday was the arrival
of the Keokuk of the Saints line. She
reached port al o'clock in the morning
under the command of Captain d. R.
Asbury, with dozen passengers and 15O
tons of freight, less than six days out, from
st. Louis. Within five hours after her ar
rival she had discharged her cargo, washed
down the decks, taken on some return pro-
duce, and backed out for the Future
Great' flying light, but with engagements
below sufficient to load the boat to her full
capacity. The Mary Morton followed in
the wake of the Keokuk soon after the
latter swung out into the channel
and both vessels were watched by crowd
of interested spectators, until the last
Vestige of their smoke stacks disappeared
round the bend. The .Libbie Conger. of
the Diamond 10 line will be here Sunday.

Pacific Railroad company, to the state of
Minnesota, to the public in general, and
to the cause of forestry in particular, is
simply irreparable.
This strong expression is used advised
ly. Perhaps no man living had studied
the subject of forestry as adapted to Min
nesota and Dakota more thoroughly, had
devoted to it more years of patient expert
mental investigation, or had become more
of an enthusiast in seeking to demonstrate
by practical results the soundness of his
theoretical opinions.
The successful completion of his five
years. contract with the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, to protect the exposed
divisions of the line against the possibility
of snow blockades, and at the same time to
establish trae plantations, encourage set
tiers to do the same, and thereby ameIio-
rate unfavorable climatic conditions, had
become the great object of his life, upon
completion of which he had declared his
willingness to die, feeling that his work
had been successfully performed and a
legacy of inestimable value given to pos
terity.
But it has pleased him whose DEGREES no
mortal has a right to question to disap-
point these hopes and expectations, Ieav-
ing the railroad work organized and com
mencsd, but unfinished.
With Leonard B. Hodges conscientious
ness and fidelity to trusts we're distinguish
ing characteristics. The claims of duty
were superior even TO the ties of consan-
guinity. His last thoughts were upon his
tree plantations, and the last words ut
tered expressed s0licitude in reference to
a successor who would be qualified to carry
his work to successful completion, and
named Mr.. VIM. O. Buttles, of Orinoco,
Olmsted county, Mimi, as in his opinion
best qualified 10 perform the duties.
As the season for active operations has
arrived, Mr. Buttles las kindly consented
to superintend the work, if not perma
nently, at least for the present season, and
until other arrangements, if found neces-
sary or desirable, can be made.
William G. Buttlss is therefore appoint
ed acting superintendent of tree planta-
tions on the Northern Pacific railroad, and
will enter upon duty April 20.

ed. They were incIted and aggravated by

hands made somewhat of a novel request
of the company, namely: That the com
pany should add twenty-five cents per day
to the wages of all shop
hands, irrespective of the amount
paid them. When they referred the petit
ton to General Manager Ch9ppell of
Chicago, he replied, referring the whole
subject to Mr.. Wilson, superintendent of
machinery at Bloomington. He spoke of
the demand of the shopmen as simply
outrageous, and that those who were dis
satisfied mightresign. A meeting of the
