DEMOCRATIC demagogues are loud in their
denunciaton of the PROPOSITION to divide
Texas. The sentiment of unity must live on
sentiment of patriotism. 1t does not exist.
We propose to embalm our heroic memories

let the old Alamo be restored to its original
shape, let it be covered with ivy and remain
a green monument to the unsel6sh men who
died for human liberty.

The few states which have not adopted
biennial sessions of the legislature are
agitating the question of the advisability
OF 80 doing. There is great deal to be
said on both sides of the:questioa though
the preponderance of argument is in ia
vor of biennial elections. Thirty-one of
the states have adopted the biennial sys.
tenn. The states where annual sessions
are held are Connecticut, Massachusetts.
New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island,
South Carolina and WISCONSIN. Thirty
one OF the states have adopted the bien-
NAL system, and twenty-one have further
restricted excessive legislation by limit
ing the length of the sessions. The PEG.
pie OF Connecticut are so we'll satisfied
with their trial of biennial sessions of
the legislature that they are beginning to
talk about triennial sessions. Tie pres
ent session is pointed to as an illustra-
ton of how little real work there is for
the legislature to do. The opposition to
biennial sessions does not appear in all
cases to proceed 50 much from any spe-
cial desire on the part Of the politicians
or people to have an annuals1 pessiQn for
the purpose Of voting, holding Office or
lobbying, but from q strong feeling that
too much business would accumulate be-
tween sessions to allow of the biennial
SSStem becoming q success.

Gov. POUND on Wisconsin Rail.
WAYS.


Gov. Pound of Wisconsin, now in New
York, in an interview, has the following
to say in regard to railroads in northern
Wisconsin, and their outlook for busi-
ness:
This section embraces the forestry OF
Wisconsin, and in facta large majority of
the forestry of the northwest. The early
winter was unfavorabie to logging, but the
season extended into the spring, so that
a very large percentage of logs has been
secured. The aggregate of white pine
in Wisconsin and in the peninsula Of
Michigan amounts to about 1000, OOO, 900
feet. Of course there j corresponding
increase in other forest products. This
alone insures very large profits for our
railroads. There has within few years
eeen a radical change in the handling of
forest products. Formerly we were In
the habit of rafting lumber down the
streams. Lnmbermen in the No1th-
western part Of the state went by river
and lake to Milwaukee and Chicago,
thence was distributed by rail. The CEN
trail and northwestern sections f1oated
lumber down the river into tn Missis-
sippi and to points on the Mississippi,
thence distributed by rail to consume rs.
Now that railroad connections have
been secured lumber is uniformly taken
from the mills to points west Of the Mis-
sissippi by rail. The construction of the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba and 9TH
er northern lines has drawn a majority
of trade to the northwest. thus bringing
consumers as neat to the mills as ave
Chicago, St. Louis and other distributing
points. The St. Paul road is increasing
its business, and believe is finding its
short lines are not weighing down the
other portions of the road. The Omaha
is doing large forest business this year.
The d)rmer president, Mr. Porter, .gas
the first to establish an exclusive lum-
Der line Lumber CARRYING has proved
so profitable, however, that all the roads
are making specially of rolling stock
adapted to carry lumber.

last be credited with prospects. The d.
vision between Thunder Bay, on the
northwest shore Of Lake Superior, and
Winnipeg, ls nearly or quite ready for
business. while beyond Winnipe. the
rails stretch away several hundred miles
toward the Rocky Mountains. To the
east. in Ontario, the line has been push
ed from Ottawa up toward Georgian
Bay, so that, with steamship service to
supply the missing link, the Dominion
has transportation service on it's own

to his acQuaintances there many remini-
SCIENCES of his experiences when, forty
FIVE years ago. he tramped through that
state carrying one end of surveyors
chain, ''The first solid satisfaction ever
got out of Michigan" he said, "came
about in this way: I was taken sick
with bilious fever at Tecumseh, and q
doctor whose name l don't remember
came to visit me in little hut where
lay, with bark for a roof, and which
leaked terribly during a storm. The fell
low poured calomel into me until was
nearly dead. Finally DR.. Spaulding of
Sylvania, came and cured me. Well,
the fellow whose name can't recall pre-
scented a bill of $63 for nine visits. I
paid him money on the wildcat bank of
Clinton, and the day after l paid him
the bank busted. That's the only real
satisfaction l ever experienced in Mich.

Over 24O doctors in New York City
protested againstthe retention of the old
code of ethics and favor the more liber-
eral code, permitting consultations with
physicians of other than the allopathic
school. The medical journals of the lat
ter medical sect in New York City gen.
orally favor the liberal code, and the
probability is that the non.intercourse
code of the American Medical associa-
ton, which was repudiated by the New
York State Medical society last year,
will not be re'enacted, as the liberals
are too strongly combined. The matter,
however, promises to be hope of con-
tention at the approaching meeting Of
the National Medical association, as il
was last year ut St. Paul.

There have been many instances of
the promptnoss of "Jersey justice"
The latest is the case of Ellis, burglar
who had been looting number of houses
at Ashbury Park. He was arrested on
Saturday and on Tuesday was beginning
an eight years term in the State Prison.
Jersey justice would have made short
work of the Guiteau and the Star route
cases. She moves so swiftly that she
might be said almost to telegra III a
criminal to his place Of punishment, and
yet no one suffers uniustly.

A singular fact is noticed In regard to.
the large number of divorces in New
England. In New Hampshire more
than one-fourth of the divorces granted
last year, were on the ground of adultery
proved in court, and out of eighty cases
proved, only two were published. It if
possible that such charges are sometimes
trumped up and proved, as the most
obvious basis for matrimonial separa-
ton, but the certainty Of punishment
would put an end to this. It locks as if
we ought to 20 back to first principles
and enforce the seventh commandment
before we can make any great progress
In divorce reform. As divorces have in.
creased prosecutions for adultery have
decreased. and in a corresponding ratio
