On the contrary, from the very outset
of the controversy Secretary Bayard Is
seen to have taken bold and patriotic
position, strenuously insisting upon the
rights of the United States and the
observance by England of her treaty
obligations. lie has not only done
this, but has notified the Government

/. Railroad Boom fer Wisconsin,.


For wears past the great railroad cor
porations have been busily advertising
and praising up the natural advantages
Of several western states and terrific
ries. where they had built many lines
Of road All this time, without any
outside aid. Wisconsin. the richest and
best Of all western states, has pursued
the even tenor of her way and has in
creased in wealth and population with
surprising rapidity, That the railroad
corporations have come to re@lize that
there is no better place than Badgerdom
"a secure a foothold in order to obtain
and hold permanent paying business,
plainly appears from the following ar
ticle recently published in The Madt-
son Democrat;
at is time some of these big railway
corporations should wake up and look
about them little. They have for ten
years been building railroads all over
the Great American Desert This is
quoted from the old school atlaSl in
the west, while the countless millions
Of wealth in Wisconsin received no
attention. The Chicago, Burlington,
4 Northern, which built during the
last wear all the way up the east bank
Of the Mississippi to It. Paul, has been
making an effort to gobble the old
Green Bay and Minnesota road across
the state from Winona to Green Bay.
The Illinois Central is throwing dirt
pretty lively all along its line from
Freeport to this city, and it will not
stop here over night, because it can
afford to 70 on to Lake Superior. The
G. Il. 4 q. is also sticking stakes along
the Sugar river valley, seeklHga way
into northern Wisconsin. The c. VI
4 ST Paul has its surveyors wading in
two feet of snow up above Wasau
searching for a route up IN TO the lum-
Der and iron regions. The Wisconsin
Central is building all the time, and st
are the Milwaukee. Lake Shore \ West
ern. and Milwaukee \ Northern. Al
this simply means that the sources o
wealth in Wisconsin have scarcely al
equal and not a superior in Nortl
America. Its iron mines laugh at al
others in the world. its lumber eacl

In recent article on railroad build
ing during 1886 The st. Paul Pioneer
Press says:
In many WAYS the record of the past
seasons work is full Of significance.
but particularly as indicating the great
activity in the Northwest as compared
with the rest of the country. The
new mileage for 1886 aggregates 2,462
miles, or more than in any previous
year The greatest previous record
was that of 1882 when 2,400 miles of
new road were built in the Northwest
and $3.50 in the whole country. For
1886 the total new mileage of the
country is 6,719. In other words,
while the whole country's record is
nearly one-third less this year than in
the 90 boom year of 1882, that Of the
Northwest shows a positive increase.
These figures indicate very clearly the
rapidity with which the Northwest is
being opened up and developed; and
it also shows the eagerness which po-
ssesses the great railway corporations
to get their iron fingers into the North
western pie: As regards the amount
expended for construction, it is i'm
possible to get at the exact figures, but
| it is estimated at something less
than So, 100000, or more than $751;
| 100000 in excess of last year, and the
total of all expenditures exceeds $780,
| 100000 on conservative estimate.

OLD AGE.
How Mans Lease of Life may be
Heightened.

The possibility of prolongiug life has
commanded the serious attention OF emil
nent scientists, aud the discovery OF
some compound or elixir capable of pre-
venting or suspending physical decay. has
been, more than once, confidently pre-
dicted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation of life by
proper care of the health, one of the
best means OF maintaining which Is the
occasional use of Ayers Pills. S. C.
Bradburn. Worthington, Mass, says:
ayers Pills are

During the first session of the pres
ent congress protectionists refused to
even discuss the question of tariff re
form, thus proving themselves cow
ards. During the campaign just
passed they quietly, stealthily and by
means of enormous corruption funds,
attempted the political slaughter of
the men they dared not meet in debate.
