SENATOR VAN WICK.
A PEN Picture of the Man who is
After the Land. Grabbing SYM

A Pen Picture of the Man who is
After the Land-Grabbing Syn
dicate.
From the California Alta.
Van Wyck of Nebraska is getting to be
looked on as bull in the senate china shop
He is a rugged, gray-haired, stubborn, log
cabin sort of old fellow, with propensity
for slashing promiscuously around.
When his long, nasal screech pierces
the senate chamber everybody
moves one side. Van Wyck is in the ring,
with horns lowered and tail high in the air,
and trouble begins. He charges mad1y at
some one believing out denunciatiOns no
one else dare make, with reckless disre-
gard of the amenities of debate and bold
indifference OF the consequences, that sends
cold chills down Mr. Edmunds'
back. When he sits down his Republi-
can fellows jump i'll an worry and taunt
and bait him and drive him in corner and
try to get him to turn tail, while the Demo-
Gratis throw in goad now and then and
enjoy the sport The old man shakes his
name and glares about him and talks saw
agely back and gets confused little,
and maybe contradicts himself and
gets madder all the time. But just
as he seems to have hopelessly muddled and
hobbled himself and knotted himself all up
in explanations and definitions and cor
rectiOns and amendments, and the Repub-
licans think he will crawl out and abjectly
apologize, he cuts through his tangle with
roar of defiance and comes back
to the charge with worse accusations
than before. There is no back down in
Van Wycl1, and though prone to go off at
half-cock and rave when he should only
ridicule, he is as honest as the day and al
most always right. The courtesy OF a
dozen senates couldn't shut him oil when
he had something to say.

WHAT WILL FRANCE Do:

There is some speculation as to what will
be the attitude of France in the event of
war between Russia and England. The
natural conclusion would be that the preiu-
dices growing out of the Crimean war would
arouse the sympathies of the French people
in favor of the English government and in
Spire a feeling of hostility toward Russia.
But from present indications there does not
seem to be warm cOrdiality existing be-
tween the French and English nations and
there is rumor in the European air that
France is to favor an alliance with Russia
against England. One cause for this rlimor
was the trouble growing out of the Bos-
phore-Egyptien affair and to which undue
prominence was given by the French gov
ernment and by the press of that country.
The facts i'll the ease appear to be that
Egypt had a right TO suppress the paper but
that NUBAR PASTA did it in violent and
illegal manner. Egypt has expressed
willingness to make amends for the
violence used, - France will probably

Lambermen's Board of Trade.

Yesterday afternoon the Lumberncns
board of trade met at the office of j. S.
Anderson & Co., when there was a fair
attendance. Mr.. j. S. .O'Brien was in the
chair.
On motion the following telegram was
sent to the Iumbermen assembled at the
West hotel, Minneapolis:
To the President of the Lumbermen's
Meeting at the West Hotel, Minneapolis
Important local matters prevent our mem
bers from attending your meeting this after
noon. We appreciate most fully the cir
cumstances which have called you together,
and trust that your deliberations may result
beneficially to us all. j. S. O'BRIEN,
President Lumbermen'S Board Of Trade
The first business discussed was in refer
ence to the board of trade drive, and it was
decided that as clean a one as possible
should be made from Taylor's Falls to the
booms. The following firms, who have the
greater number of the logs, agreed to pay
the board Of trade $500 to take their logs
down, viz: Schulenberg-BOeck Lum-
Der company. st. CroiX Lumber company,
G.. n. Nelson Lumber company, James
Aulvey Molloy Bros, Anderson 81 OBrien,
Isaac Staples and Sauntry d TOZer. The
president was instructed to have the drive
made at once.
Thomas Organ was appointed as the lake
policeman, at salary Of 81 per day, his
duties being the same as last year.
1t was decided to make three classes for
scattered logs. Logs that will scale less than
$50 feet, So; $50 to 250 feet ST; and all
over 250 feet, 50 per 1000 feet. These
were the prices established for May.
At this stage the appointment of lake
agent was taken up. The bylaws provided
that he should be appointed by the board Of
directors, bat it was found there was not
quorum Of them present to make the ap-
pointment.
a motion was passed as to the picking up
OF logs from Hudson bridge to Prescott,
and the president was instructed to make
the necessary arrangements and to see that
the logs were put in brails or RATS, ready
for shipment, but that all logs 50 picked.up
shall be entered in the books of the boom
company for record and called lake" logs.
Mr. James Lane was present and said
that this year he would deliver the logs to
the mills below Hudson bridge at 90 cents
1000, or he would brazil or raft them for
81. This was conced good offer by those
present, and as he has done the work for
some years it is probable he will be ell
gagged.

A Practical Man,

Arkansaw Traveller.
A fat old man, who should have known
BETTER dragged himself up three long flights
of stairs and entered an editorial room.
''Whew! Coming up those stairs makes
me blow" he said.
Yes" the editor replied, "What canL
do for you?"
The old fellow laughed as he took a small
piece OF paper from tin spectacle case.
Heres something that 1 jotted down."
he said. You needn't put my laughed
heartily y-'my name to it,
The editor took the scrap of paper and
read the following:
If a war should occur between En-
gland and Russia it will be Wall street
affair: Between the Bull and the Bear
wall street will have nothing to do
with it" said the editor.
''Oh, don't you see? 1t is a pun that l
made up myself"
mo, don't see. Itappears to read all
right, though if there Were really anything
OF it the telegraph would have

snatehed his contribution and lugged him

THE Republican campaign managers are
preparing to climb down. 1t is easier than
falling. They are already beginning to ac-
count for the Democratic victory which is
coming next week. 1t is rather amusing to
see the variety of reasons presented. One
charges it up to the gamblers another says
the saloon men are doing it, still another lays
it to bungling management of the committee,
while a large host swear it is all due to the
incompetent newspaper organs which are
continually spilling the broth. You pay your
money. gentlemen, and you can take your
choice of reasons. But if you want to know
the real reason for the sweeping Democratic
victory next week we will give it to you. The
people are at the bottom of it. They are sat
isfied with the administration of our munich
pal affairs. They know that the Democratic
party represents the peoples cause, and they
will take care of their own.

MR.. RICE,s GOOD RECORD.

From the Pioneer Press, June 6, 1883.
Yesterday c. D. O'BRIEN took the oath of
Office as mayor of st. Paul. II he justifies
even the more moderate expectations OF
those whose intipate knowledge of him
qualities them to speak with confidence, the
city will have less reason to regret the eX-
ceedingly efficient administration which has
just closed. Mayor RICE has richly earned
the honorable retirement which probably
comes to him as a welcome relief from
arduOuS and often thankless duties. he
accepted the election two years ago by an
almost unprecedented majority as a
tribute of the affection and respect III
which he was held by his fellow citizens,
and has labored with zeal and earnestneSS
out of all proportion to position below his
deserts, capacity and reasonable aspirations
to deserve the confidence repOsed in nm.
The powers of Il mayor of st. Paul are
limited and he has not magniiied his Office
by iniudicious and misdirected zeal. But
he has performed those duties which were
plainly intrusted to him with Judgment,
discretion and great practical good sense.
The city has grown and prOspered greatly
during his term of Office and the details OF
municipal administration have been much
bettered. A generous and comprehensive
system of public improvements has been
begun, the police force has been improved,
the fire department has been reorganized,
and a new spirit of thrift and energy has
been introduced into the city affairs. Mayor
RICE has fully kept abreast of the throng-
ing needs of the city's rapid growth and
merits large share of credit for the
prOmptness and success with which they
have been met. The city council, which
is the real governing body in our municipal
government. owes much to his hearty CO.
operation and to that of his executive staff.
He has left an example of Jealous and jul
dicious municipal administration which
should be worth a good deal to his sue
ceSsor.

The Financial Condition of France.

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal.
In the last twenty years France has been
the worst governed nation in Europe. The
Napoleon regime, the war with Germany,
the extravaganza of the successive Republi-
can administrations have left the country
weighed with debt and taxation more heav-
lily than any other nation of the earth.
The public debt amounts to $4, $780,
O00 900, which is $4,000, 100000 in
round numbers greater than the debt of
Great Britain. The annual revenue for
1883 amounted to S713, 3,74S, $685. which is
$500, 600, 600 more than that of Great Brit.
ain, 1856, 600, 900 greater than that of Ger
many, and 1865, 900, 600 greater than that of
Russia. Such a colossal mass of debt rest
ing upon the industry and capital of the
people has been carried with singular spirit
and endurance, but when governmental
blunders are found to be still added to the
load, with no other result than to sacrifice
French armies it is not surprising that the
people are finally driven to turbulence and
violence. The French situation seems to

government were flooded over those Sec
tons of the country from which they feared
competition. And thus bidders from
abroad were induced to believe that if st.
Paufs financial condition was one-halt as
bad as these ringsters represented it, then
it would not be safe to bid on our bonds.
In this way foreign competition was kept
out. They had Shrewdness enough to know
that campaign slanders would have no effect
at home. Thus, while our bonds sold at
price which justities the wisdom OF the
people in committing the government TO
Democratic hands, yet they did not sell as
high as they should have done, and would
have done but for the false representations
made by the ring managers. Still the ring
syndicate got the bonds, and got them at
price leaving good margin for speculation.
There can scarcely be a doubt that the ring
has motive for all it is doing in the way
of giving our city a bad advertisement
abroad. The day of reckoning is close at
hand and the people will settle with them.

Interest on school Hands.

Those who have bought state school
lands and are now paying interest at the
rate of Z per cent, per annum, can, ac-
cording to the new law, have said interest
reducedby applying on OF before June 1.
When the reduction is made an agreement
will also have to be signed by the applicant
not to pay the principal for fifteen. years.
Should the buyer of the land desire to pay
before the time he can do SO by paying the
per cent, difference for the time since
the making of the reduction. This law is
made in order to secure safe investment
for the state school fund.
There is a good deal of excitement in the
militia companies in the North over the
rumors that they are likely to be called
upon to protect the Northern frontier
against the invasions of half-breeds and
Indians for supplies. Many of them think
it would be picnic and are glad to go, but
the larger number are not ambitious of fame
