The question again recurs upon the
passage Of local railroad tax bill by
the Dakota legislature. This bill
was before the last Legislature ana wes
defeated and the people generally were
satisfied with such disposition Of the
measure. They recognize the fact that
railroads have done more to settle Da-
kota than all other causes and that they
are not yet upona paying basis. Or
dinary gratitude andia desire to encour.
age their further development suggests
the impropriety of imposing burdens
upon them ut this early day.

. A Washington dispatch states that
many officers of the army are dissatisfied
with some Of the clauses of Senator Lo-
gan's bill recognizing the army, and
also with the amendments made to the
strong opposition will no doubt be stir
red up. Two of the amendments pro-
posed to the appropriation bill are to
reduce the army pay corps from fifty
four to forty, by stopping any additional
appointments until the minimum figure
is reached, and abolish the Office of as
sistant surgeon general. Gen. Logan,
in speaking about the matter, said if no
moro appointments to the pay corps
were made for year or two, it would be
the cause Of old officers going on the re-
tired list He also thought there were
entirely too many high grade officers in
the medical corps OF the army, and that
six colonels and ten lieutenant colonels
in this branch of the service were more
than were needed. As there was vacan
cy existing in the Office of the assistan
surgeon general it would be good tim
to begin making reductions. If th
Office were abolished no officer now i
the service would suffer, as the one Sc
lec.ed by the president to fill the assis
tant surgeon generalsbip had alread
tho rank of colonel. Another ament
ment proposed is one that requires of
GERS who have private soldiers detalle
to act as servants to pay the governmer
M amount equal to the pay Of such so
diers. This will, it is thought, break q
the practice of making private soldier
perform menial duties for officers, an
elevate the file Of the army.

The Huron Sheet Tunbles to Itsslf Once
more and Moralises on the Capital

Huron Tines, Feb. 2. ~
That in common tparlance there hes
been nigger in the wood pile all along
in the capital question, the Times has
thoroughly believed. But where the
dusky gentleman; ecreted himself and
how he appeared IN the light OF day,
have been questions too difficult to an
swer. An editor Wao sits in his room
hundred miles away from the scene OF
action, may indulge in . thousand and
one speculations, provided he has an
active brain. But Item chances to one he
will shoot wide of the mark. Happily
the Times needsto theorize no more.
1t has learned the motives at the bottom
of the project to move the capital. Lake

The Tallest Tree i'm the World
st. James Gazette.

It seems that America, after all, is un-
able to make good her claim to the pos
session of the tallest and largest trees
in the world. Everyone has read of the
marvels of the Yosemite Valley and of
Yellowstone Park, the huge national
sporting ground of the United States.
But what are the giants of California in
comparison with tree which has lately
been discovered in Australian 1t has
long been known that in Tasmania there
are Eucalipti measuring 200 feet from
the ground to the first branch, and more
than $50 feet in total height; and there
is, or lately was, ON Mount Wellington,
near Hobart Town, tree of this species
the trunk of which was 86 feet in cir
cumference. But still more gigantic
monarch of the woods has been recently
discovered in Victoria. 1t is well pro-
portioned specimen of the Eucalyptus
Amygdalina, and its top is nearer to the
sky than the cross of st. Paul's Cathe-
dral, for it is no less than 430 feet above
the ground.

Bill ArI. onstooks.
A tlanta Constitution.


There area good many troubles in
this life, but Il divine providence has
enabled us to fortify against them.
They are more imaginary than other
wise. We caDmake them big or we can
make them little. A good nabor told me
the other day he had received letter
from his father, who lived in Atlanta,
and his father wanted him to get him
cook. A cook Lord help us! Why
the man is worth hundred thousand
dollars and wants a cook. Darn cook.
Why, can cook everything want to
eat myself. like cook for the family
and for company, and all that, but /
can live and thrive and get fat without
a cook. That is all imaginary. Some
folks think they are just obliged TO
have cook-and that is what is the
matter with this generation. They had
| cooks before the war. and they had
roast beef. and roast turkey, and all
sorts of pies and pastry, and they think
they must have It now, but it is all
mistake. 1t lived in Atlanta would
ent give three ceuts for a cook. There
is bakers bread, and nice butter and
cheese, and cakes, aud it don't take
| five minutes TO cook oysters or broil a
| steak, and the cooks might go to thun-'
der for ne. All | want is somebody to
wash the dishes and clean nm after the
cooking, and can hire some little yal-
| Ter GAL to do than, We attach entirely
too much Importance to cooking. Why
! met IL lady iii Atlanta nice, sweet
| lady, who is sick, and she lives close to
me, and when asked her when she was
coming home she said she didn'o know,
but she thought she would come when
1 her husband cot her a cook. Is this the
1 problem that is to be solved. r. eyery-
| bod troubled about a ceok /? Well, /
reckon we had better eat less and wor-
nv less about vittals. Everybody can't
dine at Delmonico's. Mrs. Arp wants a
cook too. She was raised on cooks and
waitinymai,ls. T think she nsed TO have
1 a dozen running around after her. and
II was Miss Tayy this. and Miss Tayy
/ that. and they dressed her and uudress-
ed her and followed her around. and
were proud TO have such princely mis-
ltress. There were over.a hundred mig
I pers on the Mace. and they all wanted
10 belong to Miss Tavy aWay. and they
all wanted to follow her. and so took a
passeIl of 'em along and managed to
support 'em until Abe Lincoln come
along and kindly relieved ME from the
burden. Blessings ON Old Abe. He
didn't know what he was doing, but he
lifted a load off me sure. for the darned
i niggers wasent worth d darn cent to
i me. They were good forone thing and
that was to give off d child when she

WALSH AND SHERIDAN
CoHsuIt with Their Lawyer, who Goes 70
WRShInE;oz for Them.

NEW YoRK.-The World Of Thursday says
that conference was held at the Astor House
Wednesday afternoon between 2. J. Sheridan
and John Walsh and their counsel, Gen.
Duncan !. Walker and Renben Carroll, uith
reference TO the steps TO be taken in the event
Of the British government dem sndiDg the
extradition Of Sheridan. Walsh and lyman.
Later 10 the evening Gen. Walker left for
Washington. Last night Mr.. Carroll said
to reporter of the World: "Gsn. Walker
has been suddenly summoned to Washington
by unexpected Developments in this case. l
am unable at this time 10 explain Just what
these new developments are, but can say
this much, that we are anticipating move
ment which will result in the dem and for
the extrsdition OF our clients. We have
reason to believe that the British govern
ment is delaying action in the case OF Sheri-
dan and Walsh until they have obtained the
arrest OF Tynan, whose whereabouts they
have not yet learned, but against whom they
are prepared to present a stronger case thsn
against the other two men. II their plans
sgainst lyman succsed, they expect to make
him useful in some other way in contributing
10 the evidence sg ainst Sheridan and Walsh
on which they expect 10 obtain their extra
dillon"
do you know where lyman is?" asked
the reporter.
"He ID not 10 Englard-I may cay this
much without committing myself further
than 1 wish. He is on this side of the At
laptic, aud lyman is his real name. am
told that be will not seek to avoid arrest,
but at the same time he does not want it and
will not volunteer to the British government
any information as to his whereabouts. In
the event of demand for his extradition it
is probable that we shall act as his counsel
ALSO"
Mr.. Carroll said that Gen. Walker will
probably return to this city to-nigbfo2d will
meet Gen. Butler either here OF baton.
Mr.. Carroll will learn GEN. Buffers inten-
tons tomorrow, and telegraph Gen. Walker
where to meet him.
