A Vain Hope.

Philadelphia Record.
Senator Don Cameron said yesterday that
he was glad that he would have an ocean be-
tween him and the politicians in a week. He
was tired of office-seekers. He hoped that by
the time he got back civil-servce reform
would have advanced so far that he would be
entirely relieved of them

Trial by Newspaper.

In cases of nature that must necessarily

of the newspaper should be confined to pre-

as the conclusions are left for the reader and
general public to draw for themselves.

A NEW YORK man has wife worth having.
During the past six months ne has brought four
damage suits for the alienation of her affections
each time Introducing a new man and claiming
from $4,000 to $4,000. This is a case like the
drowned fisherman, whose clothes, when the
body was found, were full of cells. Kind friends
broke the news TO the distressed widow, and
asked what should he done. Clearing her eyes
of tears, she murmured: Bring the cells to the
house and set him again" The New York man
will doubtless set his wife again.

WHAT has become of DR.. Dio Lewis, not so very
long ago the Boston apostle of plain living, no
cOrsets, big shoes, and several other disagreeable
hobbies? His disciples, once so numerous, seem
to be unknown even in his own home. After
having demonstrated with mathematical exact
ness that an able-bodied man might maintain
health, strength and general prosperity upon an
outlay for food Of ten cents per day, it would
seem that the lesson should not have been lost
Yet, in Boston paper is au appeal to the char
liable for aid to crippled young woman, who
has only fifty cents week with which to buy
food. According to the Lewis theory that is a
pampered young woman who must be waxing
fat. The charitable will doubtless hesitate be-

a man In middle age can remember when
Hoosier merchant did not care to write his
residence on a New York hotel register. In
diana stood, in the popular estimation, as
the concentration of ignorance. A Hooser
was supposed to be long and gawksh, green
and aguish. And while he might have been
expected to improve his material prospects
slightly in the intervals between his hunting
and fishing days and his shaking days, it was
impossible that he could improve much men,

Nowl look at Indiana She is a central
and pivotal State. What names stand more
IN the public eye than those of her sons?
Her consequence in the political industrial,
intellectual and literary world is recognized
everywhere, Who omits Indiana in presi-
Dental forecasts? In the field of literature
Indiana names are numerous. Indeed, we
doubt If any State outside of New York and
massachusetts, can furnish more and better
original literary work. In scientific and
philosophical directions she is not unknown.
Some of her professors have European rep
utation, and their share in current discus
eognized by the foremost publications.
In the lecture field she sends both
ladies and gentlemen all over the country,
and she has lawyers whose practice runs into
the great and famous cases of other States.
In material growth the statistics tell an
equally favorable story. Everywhere the
primitive buildings and appurtenances are
gone, and the modern results of wealth, cul-
tivation and good taste have replaced them.
Heaven is no longer somewhere else, but
here. The heart that yearned for the higher
and liner things in the more polished society
OF older communities finds them not supe-
rior to that which it finds at home Many an
inland city of Indiana, whose site was a for
est half century ago, is at this moment
mistress and possessor of all that can please
a cultivated family abreast with the best
thought of the times. Many farmhouse is

Sioux City journal: A. O. Squire,
superintendent of the land department
of the Tower City road, came in from
Tower City yesterday, accompanied by
j. 81. Dolliver, WHO is to have charge of
the right of way at the south end of the
llne. The reporter found Sir. Squire at
j. 8. Wheeler's Office, where a delegation
from Portlandville were explaining the
advantages OF route crossing the Big
Sioux at that town. Mr.. Squire inform.
ed the newspaper man that about 100
miles from Tower City south is located,
that thirty five miles has been cross
sectioned, that the graders are at work
on this much, aud that the conditions
of the contracts for grading the sixty
miles let, require the grading to be fin
ished tins season or no pay. One con-
tractor has twenty-six miles, another
twelve miles and third two and half
miles. The work is very light except at
the crossing at the Cheyenne river, and
is not particularly heavy there. Col.
Brittop, the manager OF the company,
proposed to have the entire road com
pleted next August. To do this it would
be necessary to push track laying from q
number of places where the company +
line crosses the tracks OF other compa
uies. Messrs. Squire and DolIiyer left
for Westtield yesterday afternoon, where
they will meet Col. Britton and receive
directions as to the right of way and
town sites from Westfela north.

1t is to be hoped that the appeal in

Heading for lie Beau

LIE Beau Leader: A gentleman who
arrived in Le Beau from Aberdeen last
week informs US that Hon Mr.. Kingston,
a Wisconsin state senator and a director
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad company, in g conversation with
some OF the leading citizens of fAberdeen,
informed those gentlemen that during
the season OF 1854 the St. Paul railway
company wouid adopt the most feasible
route its engineers could find running
to the valley of the Moreau river, and the
that road would be rapidly constructed
to point. He also exhibited letters from
Hon. Alex. Mitchell, president, and S. S.
Merrill. general manager OF the st. Paul
company, speaking of the proposed route
as something already decided upon. Mr..
Kingston has been looking about in this
section in the company's interest and has
invested considerable OF his own private
capital in town lots in LIE Beau. That
the ST. Paul extension will strike LIE
Beau there is no longer a doubt, and We
will doubtless have to wait bat few
short months before we have railroad
communication with the east. Now is
the time to invest in town lots. The
advent of the railroad viii allow you te
treble your money.
