ed and operated until December last
when Gen. Alger and Mr.. Newberry
bought the road, taking equal inter

building the road, and subsequently
extended il 10 Oscoda and Alger
The larger share of this work has
been done within the past two months,
Neither Mr.. Newberry or Gen. Alger
own any pine on the line Of the road,
their interests being farther north.
No bonds have been issued or shares
sold, neither has it been built to soil
or for speculation in stocks. They
have taken pride in putting in finc-
ly equipped road, and will operate itas
an independent road, but connecting
with the Michigan Central% The
Western Union will Immediately put

Probably new road was never bet
ter finished or smoother chan this.
The ties are standard size. 1t is laid
with my-pound rails, and the rolling
stock, with the exception of the loco
motives, of standard size, SO that 10
event of a change to standard gauge
cars could all be placed on broad
trucks, and new locomotives would be
the only required change in the.quip-
ment. The road will be fopsh s'f6r
traffic Monday, and trains will, con
meet both ways with the north Ind
south bound trains on the Michigan
Central which pass each other at Wells
at about 3 p. NJ.
: In regard to an extension, nothing
is yet decided, though route will be
looked over along the west side of
Hubbard Lake, tapping the 55O,OOO,-
900 feet of pine owned by Alger,
Smith IL Co., in Altoona County, and
looking to Alpena ASIA terminus.
This would enable Alger, Smith & Co.
to make up their RATS forty miles
nearer Detroit than Black liver their
present rafting point, and 81 Il safe

amount of aid Alpena people are
willing to furnish.
Another possibility in the way of
is that the line will be built
along the shore to Black river, utiliz-

This also will depend upon the citizens

The accession of Mr.. Carlisle will
make very great change in the pol
itics of the country. The political
trimmers who have so long ruled the
Democratic party, and dragged it
from one defeat to another, have at
last been overthrow. For the first
time in many years-no, for the Sec
ond time-the party stands for some
thing of its own, for reform of abuses,
and for the rights of the people against
monopolists of all kinds.-N. Y. Her.

John &, Carlisle Elected Sneaker,

The election of John G. Carlisle to
be speaker of the Congressional House
of Representatives, is victory for
the revenue reformers in the Demo-
cratic party.
Three Democrats were candidates
for the office-Samuel j. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, who favors a protec-
tive tariff; Samuel S. Cox, of New
York, who believes in tariff reform,
and John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
who is also an advocate of tariff re-
form.
Mr. Randall's views on the tariff
question were the real cause of his de-
feat.
AT the Democratic caucus, at
Washington, 1888 votes were cast, and
of these votes, 106 were for Carlisle /;
80 for Cox, and 80 for Randall. This
shows that as far rs concerned the
Democratic Congressman, there were
1856 in favor of revenue reform, and
only so in favor of some sort of pro-
tective tariff.
A very large majority of the Dem
ocratic Congressman are therefore in
favor of tariff reform, and in this
policy we believe that they represent
the vast majority of the Democratic
party.
A large portion of the people of
this country arc asking that they be
granted some relief from taxation,
and this is what revenue reform means.
Under the present outrageous pro-
tective tax system, 1898, 2S7,7S1 was
collected by taxation by the U. S.
government during the year ending
June 30th, 1883, and the expenses of
the government, as conducted by the
Republicans, during the same period,
we 1865, 40S,137 thus leaving bal
lance, after paying all expenses, of
S132,879,441. The people do not be-
lieve in being taxed for the purpose of
heaping up money in the treasury to
breed corruption and extravaganza,
or for too rapid reduction of the
national debt. What the people now
demand is some relief from the bur-
dens of heavy taxation, and the
financial statement of the govern
ment shows that the time has come
when the taxes OH the necessaries Of
life can be safely reduced.
The Democratic party is now COM
mitted to tariff reform, and proposes
to fight the Presidential battle next
year on the issue of reduction of
taxation.
If the State of Michigan can be
carried for the Democrats, it will be
on real revenue reform platform
and no other.
Politicians are afraid of the tariff
question, but the masses of people
are to-day better posted on the work
ings of the protective tariff, than are
politicians. They know from bitter
experience that it does not benefit
them.

A Coincidence Worth Bearing in Mind.

The five years of Americas great
est industrial depression-from 1873
to 1S7S-coincided with the five years
of our very highest tariff. In 1877
there were more strikes, riots, more
men out of employment, more COM
munistic murders, more militia calls,
than in all the fifteen years covered
by the low tariff of 1S46.-Chicago

non, if possible, and to do 80 he had to
take it up the side of the ditch in front of
the confederates for half mile. The
ditch was four feet wide and as many
deep, and could not be crossed with the
cannon.
How he got his horses hitched, or
whether they had really ever been taken
from the piece, have never known, for
the first saw of him he was coming up
our front in a sweeping gallop from the
cloud OF smoke, and Hoods men were
| trlng at him. As soon as he escaped
from that volley he came in front of our
brigade and under range Of our muskets
on the left, and as he swept on up the left.
a file fire was opened upon him. Our line
was approaching the ditch rapidly at
double-quick, and the lane between us
and the ditch was getting narrower each
second, but the artillery-man seemed de-
termined to save his gun from capture, and
he flew along his course at tremendous
rate OF speed. He had four large gray or
white horses to the cannon, and they came
up the valley in splendid style. The man
sat erect and kept his team we'll in hand,
| while his whip seemed to play upon the

appeared to leap together in regular time.
The ground was very dry, and cloud of
dust rolled out from under the horses feet
and from the wheels of the cannon as
they came laundering along.
Three regiments of our brigade had
| already fired at him as he rushed along
their front, and as he approached the left
OF another, l ran down the rear rank
shouting to the man: "Shoot at the
horses Let the man alone and shoot at
the horses You are firing too high t"
AT this l saw noted marksman in
Company f drop upon one knee and
sight along the barrel of his musket and

OF his team was unbroken. Ramming in
another cartridge, the marksman was
ready again in minute, and Just as the
cannonier swept across his front within a
hundred yards he kneeled down, and TAX
| ing deliberate aim at the foremost horse,
fired again, but on went the team un-
harmed as before.
thus he passed along the whole front
OF our regiment and then along another
on our right, and escaped around the head
OF the ditch and across the field and up
the hill beyond. AS far off as we could
see him, his team was still going in a
gallop, but when out of range on the hill
beyond the ditch, he turned in his saddle
and, taking off his hat, he waved it
around his head several times, and some
OF the confederates cheered him.

THE BAGPIpEs IN THE CITY.

My heart sprang up, with quicker beat,
AT the Highland strain In the dusty street.
And the drone of the bagpipes, shrilly sweet.
Scarcely man was the piper-chiel-
A strip of a lad from the land o. the leal,
Whose chanter spoke what his heart would feel.
And the mothers danced their babies there,
At the squaid foot Of the common stair
To the tenement lodgings, poor and bare.
And the pper-lad played up aspiring
That gave the youngsters feet a sting,
And they capered about him wondering
And he too lifted lightsome toe,
Merrily pacing to and fro,
Like the piper-laddies Of long ago.
All, music, sister to gods and men,
Better thy spirit, there and then,
Than the sullen voice Of the noisy den
And better the exile, playing high
The chant of past that cannot die,
Than harp, or organ or fife, or cry
For the notes went skrling up and out,
To the listening angels, grouped about
Our sorrow and sin and pain and doubt.
