Il. E. Snow read poem of his own COM

Recalls our early days: when we at school
Did turn and twist and vex our youthful
minds
With syntax, prosody and parts of speech
In Murrays grammar, twas our bette noir,
Those woes beset not children of our day.
For Murray, with forethought commendable,
Did leave his grammar when he came out
West.
The poem was lengthy composition,
and closed with the following verse:
Old settlers, friends! Long may your lives be
spared
To reach the harvest which your hands have
sown,
And when at last with years and honors full,
Your sands of life all in the mother glass,
And ye shall cross into the great unknown,
May yours the welcome be, reserved for
those
Who wisely used their talents upon earth
Ye have been faithfuI-Enter into rest

Anecdoie of s.onewalI Jackson.

Col. Henry .Kyd Douglas contri-
butes an illustrated paper on '''Stone-
wall Jackson in Maryland" to the
June Century from which we quote as
follows: "The next evening, Sunday,
he went into Friedrich for the first
time to attend church, and there being
no service in the Presbyterian church
he went to the German Reformed
As usual he fell asleep, but this time
more soundly than was his wont. His

prayed for the President of the United

Some Congressman proposes to
stop all railroad corporations as such,
or any official of any road privately
investing his money or in any way be-
coming interested in any town site
project, and the Duluth Daily News
makes this a text for a long editorial
in which it haul5 over the Goals the
Omaha, Northern Pacific and Mani
toba companies for attempting to
build up town at West Superior, be-
tween Duluth and Superior, two old
established places Under some cir
cumstances there might be excuse for
fault finding in this matter, but not so
much In this case as might be. These
railroad companies-except the n.
P.-could not get in Superior the ter
ritory they required of the old and
generally wealthy parties who owned
the land, and on the Minnesota side
there is not sufficient land there for
their wants. At West Superior they
could get what they wanted, hence de-
cided to 90 there But had all these
roads centered in and set about "boom-
ing" Duluth, do you think we should
have been given such an article? Not
at all. For more than two years the
Duluth papers have claimed that these
roads were going to do this very thing
for that town and were eyer loud in
their praise Of every railroad official of
the several roads until it became evil
dent that they intended to make head
quarters on the Wisconsin side of the
bay, then they change their tune and
roendly abuse them for not going to
Duluth and booming their town. An
other noticeable feature of the article
is that not one word is said about the
st. 2. d d. road, road that has
directly and openly made Duluth the
town it is, and the only thing that
ever did give it the breath of life.
Why not condemn this road along
with the rest? We do not now pro-
pose to discuss the practicability of
railroads becoming parties to building
up towns, at times perhaps to the
downfall of others, but we must say this
sniyel and crocodile tears from Duluth
parties comes with mighty poor grace,
and it will no doubt be amusing read
ing to all the railroad men who are so
familiar with the greed and jealousy
. of the average Duluthian. The Du-
luth editorial kick will neither kill
West Superior nor the great railroad
corporations.

what our Exchanges SAY About Hi,

Portage Register: His conduct will
immensely strengthen the confidence
the people of the state have so long
reposed in him.
Oshkosh Times: Gov. Rusk has
proven himself equal to the energen-
cy, and is deserving the hearty COM
mendation of the people.
Manitowoc Pilot: Old Jere Rusk
has the sense to act promptly. He
makes good enough mayor for Mil
waukee while governor of Wisconsin.
ST. Paul Pioneer Press: The state
of Wisconsin has governor in fact as
well as in name. He showed himself
an active man of affairs, and not d
tigure-head for votes.
Madison Democrat: 1t may some
times look squally for the republic in
the cities, but out in the country the
the course of Gov. Rusk in putting his
foot down on anarchy is most crafty
ing.
La Crosse Chronicle: Gov. Rusk is
entitled to a great deal of credit for
the stand he has taken in the Milwau-
kee riots. He talks right at the mark
and acts in accordance with his talk.
Eau Claire Free Press: Coy. Rusk
and the militia, both officers and men,
made record which will be remenl-
bered to their credit and to the dis
couragement of all the future out
breaks and lawlessness.
Whitewater Register: Coy. Rusk S
action is everywhere commended, and
our state militia is beginning to be
estimated at its true value by thous-
ands who have regarded it heretofore
as Of no practical benefit.
Marinette Eagle: Ali honor to brave,
level-headed ond sagacious Coy Rusk.
By his prompt and decisive action he
has averted bloodshed and a calamity
to the commercial metropolis of the
state, as well as to the state itself.
Milton Telephone: Coy. J. NJ. Rusk
has done his duty in calling out the
militia to suppress disturbances in Mil
waukee, and in acting promptly and
firmly in the matter, has secured to
himself the approval of all law-abid-
ing citszens.
Appleton Post: The action of Gov.
Rusk in promptly calling out the state
militia, as soon as danger threatened
in Milwaukee, is worthy of all praise
and will command to receive the I'M
qualified endorsement of loving
people throughout the state.
Chicago Herald: The governor of
Wisconsin, Gen. Jermiah NJ. Rusk,
is of the stuff that governors should be
made of. He has not parleyed with
the lawless nor has he deyitated in any
degree from his sworn duty. A less
vigorous policy would have been a
bloodier one in the long run.
