Minpesota Editorial Fraternity Enjoy
Three Days Of Fessting and Pleasure ~
Guests Of the 500 Railroad Company.


ST. PAUL, Sept. 13.-The excursion Of
the Minnesota editors to Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich, Sept. Z, 8 and ., was the most
successful and pleasurahle one ever en-
joyed by the association. The train of
six sleepers, dining and baggage cars was
given the fraternity free Of any charge by
the 500 Railroad of which w.
d. Washburn is president, F. W. Under
wood, general manager, and John G.
Taylor, general passenger and ticket
agent. The last named gentleman &C
companied the editors and personally
saw that the trip was made all that it
ought to be. About 2U0 editors and
their wives went to the 500. On the way
out Senator Sabin was picked up and
was guest of the editors during the en-
tire trip. At Sault Ste. Marie the excur-
sioEists were well cared for by the citi-
zens, and the afternoon of the Sth was
passed in viewing the wonderful ship
canals, the beautiful city and in shoot
ing the rapids of ST. Mary river in canoes
guided by Indians. A ride across the
river was feature of the day, and in
the evening at the city hall the editors
were entertained with speeches, music
and dancing, On the return trip, Sun
day, a stop Of several hours was made at
Gladstone, Mich, where all hands were
given steamboat ride on Green bay.
At Rhinelander, Wis, a stop was made
about dark and the editors walked
around the city in body, headed by the
Rhinelander band and citizens. The
party reached Minneapolis early Monday
morning. All who enjoyed the hospital
ity of the 500 road on this occasion were
of the opinion that never would such an
other excursion be given the Minnesota
editors; it might be equaled, but could
not be excelled. The event proved con-
clusively that w. D. Washburn and the
managers of the 500 road, including
Genial John [Taylor], never do things by
halves. The editors were banqueted

Mr.. WooDMAN enlisted and received

the Courier has tried to create the
! impression that the WOODLANDS are
strongly tinctured with democracy,
perhaps it is worth the while that the

Hon. j. j. WooDMAN, eX-master of

lican JASON WooDMAN, lecturer of the
Michigan state grange, formerly dem
ocrat, is now thorough republican;
the late DR.. l.. G.. WooDMAN, who
served four years in the army, was
likewise an uncompromising republi-
can.
There was also another member of
llt ldhiilg III amy Ian NOOD-
MAN, who volunteered in the spring of
1861 in the ninety days service and
afterwards in the three years service,
and who was also most enthusiastic
republican.
Then there was the late j. III. WooD-
MAN, "A republican of republicans, and
his son FRED WooDMAN, who follows
in the political footsteps of his lament
ed father.
DAVID WoODMAN is member of the
prohibition party; JOHN WooDMAN, a
resident of Maine, is democrat, while
Epson WooDMAN is also democrat,
the only resident democrat i'm the entire

opinion that both Michigan and the
United States will go democratic; he
will change his opinion shortly after
the 9th of November. The family is a
large one, well scattered over the land,
and JOHN and Epson are its only dem
ocratic representatives SO far rs the

other families, seems to have been loyal

THAT the tariff fosters and promotes
trusts is good democratic doctrine; in
fact it is one of the stock arguments of
democratic writers and democratic or
ators. The sugar trust is the most gil
gantic and oppressive trust in the
country and yet the MILLS bill and the
democratic party propose to retain a
duty of siXty-eight per cent. on sugar,
every dollar of which is a tax that is
felt in every household in the country.
The republican tariff bill proposes to
reduce the sugar duty one-half. If a
protective tariff builds up trusts, which
party favors the great sugar trust?
And which party is in favor of reducing
the poor mans tax? Certainly not the
democratic party.
