Pending the deliberations Of the Com

ME- THoRSKLL,
OF Colby, told bow be lost money on a
orsp of cabbage and other vegetables
which he raised on farm that his sons
had hevn out of the forest, because the
Chinese vegetable vendors sspplied the
market and there vas no sale for bis
stun. His boys had 30 leave the farm
and 90 into the mills TO earn bread.
Nh COSTELLO
Was the next speaker. He divereed
from the subjsct slightly in order TO
call attention to the outrageous manner
In which railroad corporations and Eng
lish barons are getting hold of the pub
lie lands. He bore down pretty heavy
on the English, and one or two sons Of
britaia sprane to their feet and object
ed 10 the remarks. Mr.. Costello ex-
plained that it was not the people, bat
their practices that be condemned that
he meant nothing personal, and that he
did of an Irishman, an American, Q
Chinsman OF siwssh. This brought
down the house.
Nh. NCa14L,
Of Taosma, in referring to DIR. Tayler's
speech, said: Ii is easy TO talk of boy
cotting those who employ Chinese, bat

Congress won't take bold, the Legis-
lsture won't do anything; then let the
people act. l can remember when the
Abolitiouists we're hissed and when they
had TO meet in secret, but they advo-

pie said ]" Slavery must CO." and IL went.

JUDGE p. P. GOOD
Was invited 10 address the audience.
He said be vas Q carpet baaoer. The
people of the East know little or moth
