For the Alpena Weekly Argus,
Autumn Rain.
DY ANNIE.

Dolefully, dolefully weeping
The glistening drops of rain,
In sorrowful tear drops falling,
Awake sad music again.
Steadily, steadily dropping
Dreary and dull is the knell
Who can tell us thy mission!
Can the golden leaflets tell!
The leaves on the trees are flying,
Adown to the darksome earth.
The leaves on the trees are dying
The trees Of verdure are dearth.
For the autumn rain is falling,
On the leaflets brown and sere--
On the leaflets in the forest
In the gloomy forest dreor.
And the clouds in heavy masses
Are sailing through the sky,
While the rain is mildly beating,
And the autumn winds do sigh.
Do yc raindrops weep so wildly,
For the flowers that are gonel
Summer beauties smile SO mildly,
But we cannot keep them long.

Gov. Hoadly on Cleveland.

PITTsBURO. Pa, Feb 13.-Goy. Hoadly, of
Ohio, who was on the list of speakers at the
Democratic banquet ut Electromagnetic house
last night, did not speak until nearly 3
O'Clock this morning.
During the course Of his remarks, In re-
sponse to the sentiment, "The Democracy of
the future" he said: ''Let US not be unduly
concerned with the question who are TO be
Mr. Cieveland's advisers, and who shall be
inducted into office under him and them.
The vital question is Of the counsel, not the
coun nsellor. The face Of the nation will be
fxedly set, and step resolutely taken, toward
tae Democratic future. What matter even
though the personal hopes and ambitions Of
many among Us be disappointed. We ask
OF Mr.. Cleveland two things only. First,
that those offices which directly or indirectly
affect the course Of public events shall be
filed With Democrats; and secondly, that the
administration of public affairs shall itself be
Democratic. In his difficult task Of leading
the party in its management Of public affairs
the Democratic party will extend to him q
generous and hopeful confidence, and not
waylay him With snappish aud suspicious
criticism, DO matter how rapidly or slowly
he may change the merely business Offices Of
the nation. -

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The house this af-
ternoon passed bill authorizing the con-
struction of railroad from Sioux City to
connect with the Union Pacific at point be-
yond the Tooth meridian. This will,
it is claimed by friends of the bill, shorten
the distance between Milwaukee and the
Pacific coast between 200 and 300 miles, and
open up important territory. A COM
pany stands ready to construct a
road at once. The following are the most i'm
portant features Of the bill: That such
railroad company now organized, or, that
may be organized, as the president of the
United States, by its request, may designate
or approve for that purpose, shall construct
and operate a line of railroad and telegraph
from Sioux City, Iowa, crossing the Missouri
Niobrara valley to such q point on
the Union Pacific railroad west Of the
Tooth meridian as such company may
select, not west of Granger, IN the territory
of Wyoming, and on the same terms and
conditions, and the same rights as are pro-
vided in the act for the construction of the
Union Pacific railroad and telegraph line and
branches, provided that the said company
shall receive neither bonds nor lands as pro-
vided in said acts, and provided further that
said company shall not be burdened by any
of the obligations imposed upon said Union
Pacific railroad company by reason
Of lands and bonds given that
company, nor entitled to any special ben nefks
conferred by said act growing out of said OBJ
legations, but shall be entitled to all the bene-
fits conferred by section Is of the act ap-
proved July l, 1864, amendatory of the act
approved Jnly l, 1862, and the said com mpany
and Union Pacific Railroad company shall
be regarded as continuous line, and each
company shall receive from and deliver to
each other freight and express matter,
passenger cars and all traffic, and each COM
pany shall charge and receive compensation
therefor pro rata according to distance, and
provided further that the road shall carry the
mails at such prices as congress may by law
provide, and until such price is fixed by law
the postmaster general may fix the rate of
ompersation, and provided further that said
road shall be completed within FIVE years
from the passage of this act.

NEW EMIGRANT RATES
as Announced bD fhe West Shore Roads,
Which the Other Lines Agree
10 Su1lpOrt.

WHtcit the CtheT- LfneS Agree
10 Support.
Special to the Globe.
New YoRK, Feb. 1S.-The West Shore an
nounces to-day that on and after date and
until further notice, in booking emigrant
passengers from New York, via the West
Shore company, agents will apply and be
governed by the following notes:
To Buffalo 81. So The came amount Of
reduction will apply to Canadian and Michi-
gan points beyond Buffalo.
To Cleveland $3.50; Toledo, Sc. so; De-
troit, $3.50; indianapolis, $40. Points be-
yond indianapolis and st. Louis will be sim
larry reduced until st. Louis is reached.
To Cincinnati, $3.50; Chicago. $500; st.
Louis, $l0.75; Kansas City, Sl7.75; st.Paul,
s17; Council Bluffs, SIS; Denver, s36.75.
Similar reduction, which is S5 less than pub
ished tariff of May 81, 1884, will be made tc
points west of St. Louis aud Chicago as are
made to those cities, except Texas points,
which remain unchanged. The usual rate OF
commission will be allowed on all orders
drawn. Orders must bear the name of pas
sengers TO be carried, and the advice slip
sent to the West Shore Office upon sale Of
orders.
1t is generally supposed here among steam
ship agents that the West Shore is working
on an understanding with other roads, as
they all name this their rate excepting the
Pennsylvania, which still keeps its 81 rate to
Chicago and other points on a like basis.
This may be taken as rate sufficient to
cover the cost of transporting the emigrants,
which all the trunk lines intend to keep up.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The action Of the
senate to-day in setting aside the bill to for
felt the land grant of the Texas Pacific rail
road and giving precedence to bill to pre-
vent the importation Of contract labor, eau
be accepted as an assurance that it is not
the intention of the senate TO pass any of the
bills fOrfeiting land grants which have
passed the house, and Of which there are
many. There is now little time for
the consideration of the appropriation bills,
which have to be passed that it viii be out Of
question to reach any Of these forfeitiDg land
grants This will of course apply to the
Northern Pacific and including the Oregon
and California, despite the fact neverthe-
less that the house to-day adopted a resoiu-
ton requesting the president to Withhold

president. One of these gentlemen said to-
day to your correspondent, 'Mr Cleveland,
if he only knew it, has more power over the
party now than he will have on the 1st of
April next, and he will have more power
over the party on April than on December

subject came up as an incident. Members Of
the appropriation committee gave assurances
that all of the appropriation bills could be
passed. 1t is true the house has yet several
of such bills to put through, but only one,
the naval bill, is liable to provoke contro-
versy. In the last six days of the session
the house can operate under the suspension
Of the rules, and by two-thirds vote can
dispatch more real business in a day than
under the cumbersome rules which ordinsr-
