HE WAY TO BUILD UP Town.
The following is said to be the way
to build up town, and we think it
well put:
Talk about it.
Write about it.
Help to improve it.
Beautify the streets.
Patronize the merchants.
Advertise in the newspapers.
Elect good men to all the offices.
Pay your taxes without grumbling.
Be courteous to strangers who
come among you.
Never let an opportunity to speak
a word about it pass.
If YOU think of nothing good to
say about it, say nothing bad.
Remember that every dollar you
invest as permanent Improvement,
is that much money at interest.
Never "kick" against any proposed
necessary improvement because it is
not near your own door, or for fear
your taxes will be raised fifteen
| cents

The WRONG BARR.-P. j. is cley-
er accommodating young fellow. He
is always ready to greet stranger or
to give him any desired information.
Last week the gentlemen composing
the M. p. Conference came down
upon our town and slowed them
selves away in various quarters.
Whether the Rev. Mr.. Barr was
domiciled with a private family at a
public hotel we did not learn, but
the Rev. Mr.. -, who desired to
see Mr.. Barr accosted z. j. as he
was quietly smoking his cigar in
front of one of our hotels, and in

friend replied promptly in the affirm

man further inquired if he would
kindly direct him how to find him
whereupon the good natured P. j.

Quoted him through divers under
ground ways and subterranean pas
sages to the room, where was found
not the Rev. Mr.. Barr but veritable
bar in a bar room, with glasses, bot
ties, &c No intoxicating beverages

The minister politely informed his
accommodating friend that he had
misunderstood him; that it was q
member of the Conference, Rev. Mr.
Barr, that he wished to see, and moi
the bar of the hotel. Whereupor
our friend and the preacher disap
peared in opposite directions, and
neither have since been seen in the
vicinity of that hotel.

THIS, from an exchange, needs no
comment: 1t is extremely difficult
for all editor to say good things about
the business interests of town whose
business men do not advertise. The
advertising columns of his paper fiat
" give the lie to any editorial COM
mendation he may invent. The bus
mess world consult the business end
of a newspaper for reliable informa.
ton as to the business interests. If
the advertising columns are I'M
healthy, they conclude that business
is sickly, and no amount of putting
and blowing from the editor can
counteract the negative testimony of
the absence of liberal advertising.
To undertake to puff town into res
pectable notoriety whose business
men have not enterprise and public
spirit enough to advertise, is an in
consistency as glazing as the effort
is fruitless. If business men expect
the newspaper man to give the town
an habtual send-off, they must give
him chance to do so without max
ing a laughing stock of himself.

YOUNG AMERICAS VICTORY.

The boys are on top in Wisconsin. 1t is
so seldom that the rights of the boys are
recognized by state that the juveniles of
the whole country will unite with the Wis
consin youngsters in celebrating their great
victory. 1t has been memorable contest,
and its history will fill the brightest page
of Badger annals. 1t has been GUS
tom of long standing in that state wher-
ever school was taught to compel the boys
to carry all the wood for the school-room
stove. This has been a hardship that
young Wisconsinites have long protested
against, and in some instances have even
gone so far as to rise in rebellion. There
are people living in Wisconsin to-day, old
people whose heads are whtened and
whose forms are bent with age
and Wisconsin rheumatism combined.
who can remember that some thirty
years ago schOol-boy's rebellion

of this same tyranny ON the part of the

they expressed the opinion that compulsory

the inherent rights of young Americans and

LAND GRABBING.

A correspondent writing from Blue Earth
City in to-day's GLOBE gives an interesting
account of the methods employed by rail-
road corporations in circumventing the de-
cisiOns of the courts in relation to railroad
grants and the assistance they received from
the land bureau under former administra-
tiOns in filching large slices of the public
domain to which they are not entitled.
While the wisdom of granting subsidies in
the nature of land grants to railway COM
panieS is denied by great many people, it
must be admitted that the railroad COM
panies have made some returns to the peo-
pie. 1t looked like an eXtravagant policy
for the government to induce the building
of railroads through the undeveloped sec
tons of the country by making grants of
the public lands to companies, and then
furnishing the corporations with money to
build the roads At the same time. if this
policy had not been adopted, all this region
of the great West would have remained un-
developed for years and years to
come. 1t was to the interest of
the railroad companies when their
lines were completed to have the territory
through which they passed settled up. They
wanted settlers to till the lands that the
rich soil might yield abundantly of products
that should increase the revenues of the
company. AS consequence they have set
tied up trackleSs wastes. The solitude of the

ABOUT GIRLS UNDER TWENTY

From the Boston courier.
My eyes are blue and my cheeks are pink
And I'm the belle Df the skating rink;
The young men plaise my graceful air
And say my face wondrOus fair,
But alack-a-day! Pm under twenty;
And though I've attentive beauX in plenty
1t seems that cannot go with them
To the rink to skate after 5 p. m.
1t appears that same horrid legislator,
With the soul of Florida alligator,
Proposes at onceby hook OF crook,
To place law on the statute book
That will cause awOrld of grief and tears
Concerning girls Under twenty years,
A law, in Short fbrbidding them
To go to the rink after 5 p. m.
Now.there's that horrid girl, Miss-ay-
She's rs if she's aday,
But says she's not quite 23-
How glad the envious thing will be!
Every night to the rink she'll go
And skate with Harry Jones, [ know;
While must knit or stitch, or hem,
In tears at home after p. IN.
How would these legislators feel,
Who are chosen to guard the common Wea
If we, the girls whose liberties
They seek to crush by laws like these
Against the harmless roller skate,
Possessed the power to legislate,
And passed a law forbidding them
To take drink after p. M?

A FEMALE PAGAN.

Miss HELEN GARDNER is to the female
world what INGERsOLL is to the male Gre
alton. She is feminine infidel who is
going around lecturing to women, telling
them reasons why they should not believe
in COP. She is described as being very
pretty little woman, with dark hair and
eyes and very white beringed hands. There
is one serious defect in Miss GARDENERS
oratory which destroys the effect of her
rhetoric and will doubtless cripple her efforts
to destroy the Creator of the universe. She
talks through her nose. No woman with
nasal accent to her speech was ever known
to be favorite with her sex. When one
woman sets out to persuade another woman
that her belief in anything is wrong, she
must do her talking in clear, sweet voice,
free from hesitation and without
snoring accompaniment. Miss GARDNER
is also afflicted with another serious
hindrance to success as a lecturess. She is
exceedingly nervous and stops to complain
of every passing street car or growl at the
noise made by fast-drivipg vehicles. A
woman who expects to compete with the
clergy and relies upon her ability to tear
down the fabric of a religious system which
has stood the test of ages, ought to have
the nerves of a locomotive.
Miss GARDNER, however, is original in
her reasons for disbelieving the Bible. She
doesn't soar to the scientific ground of in
fidelity occupied by DARwIN and BEECHER
and base her opposition to the sacred word
upon evolution or any such theories. Nor
does she follow in the footsteps of NIGER
SOIL and reject the inspiration of Scripture
because MOSES is imagined to have made
some mistakes in the holy record. She
branches off into an entirely new field, and
it must be said to Miss GARDNER's credit
she presents the most practical
view of infdelity that has yet
been held by any of the great
leaders of the Liberal league. She doesn't
stop to higgle over the whale tradition, the
walking on the sea, the apple story, and many
others that are dwelt on by MI. INGERsoLL.
but she goes directly to principle that she
knows will reach every woman's heart.
The reason she diSbelieves in the Bible, as
she alleges, is because it belittleS women.
She thinks that book that will hold
woman responsible for Kansas graSShOp-
per plague ought to be rejected. In her at
tempt to convert her sex from the faith of
the Bible Miss GARDNER has shown some
skill in the selection of her argument, and
if she could succeed i'll allaying her nervous
ness, or could remove the impeachment from
her speech by drawing her palate UP so
that she wouldn't have to talk through her
nose, it is probable that she could succeed
in making considerable Roadway with her
infdel crusade. Until she is relieved of
these physical difficulties, the Liberal
league would do well to reUire Miss GARD
NER from the lecture platform. A veteran
Liberal Lacquer who heard her in Phiadel-
phia the other night remarked to Times
reporter as he left the hall: 1.-The cause is
getting pretty sick when it has to have
champions like her. She is most enough to
make me believe there is GOD"

n u
Special to the Globe
MADISON, Wis, June 3.-The decision
of majority OF the supreme court declaring
that law fixing a license fee ON the Pull
man palace car business refers only to bust
ness between points wholly within the state
and to buSipuSS from some point without
the state to some point within, or vice
versa, or to business carried across the state
between points without, created decided
sensation among state officers and lawyers
here In closing it's decision the court held
that it was doubtful if the legislature could
cOnstitutiOnally enact laws taxing transport
tation companies on any species of inter-
state business in any of it's stages of pro-
gress. This general principle, if
held in future test cases, would knock
in the head all railroad license
laws Of the state for taxes, and the tax
would be very slight indeed if levied only
Oh business conducted wholly within the
state. 1t is informally claimed by several
state officers that this opinion practically
kills the railway license system, and that
the legislature will have to be convened in
an extra session to devise some different
system OF taxation. Justice Cassaday'S
minority opinion was given to the press to-
day. 1t is brief and takes directly oppo-
site view to that of the majority. Judge
Cassaday considers that both the letter and
spirit of the statute permit taxation on he
entire amount of gross earnings made by
the Pullman company by the use of its cars
within the state, and not on mere fraction
originating and eliminating with borders of
the commonwealth. AS to the constitu-
tionality of the statute he reserves his de-

THE selfishness of Chicago and st. Louis re-
ceived a fitting rebuke from the convention
of general traffic managers at Denver yester-
day, when that body refused to abolish car
load rates. Jealous of the successful rivalry
of ST. Paul and Minneapolis jobbers, the
merchants of Chicago and St. Louis have for
some time been seeking to rope the railroads
into some sort of a scheme whereby the job
bling business of the Northwest could be dis
eliminated against. They thought they had
a fat thing in the proposition to have the rail-
roads abolish carload rates on all the princi-
pal commodities, a scheme which, if it had
been accomplished would have worked bene-
ficially to the interests of Chicago and ST..
Louis and injuriously to the wholesale trade of
the Northwest. The traffic managers had
wisdom enough to discern the selfishness of the
schemers and accordingly gave it a black
eye.
