A Unique Chapter.

The Chicago Times in an article on
President Stickney, of the Chicago,
St. Paul & Kansas City, and the build
up of this system, has this to say:
1t is said that the capital behind the
Minnesota u Northwestern in furnish
ed by two of England's wealthiest
dukes and a number of the minor
nobility who are attracted by the large
investments OF these titled capitalists.
There is no doubt that President Stick
ney has so far had unlimited resources
to draw from, and his creation of a
big railroad system from a most in
significant beginning is an unique
chapter in railroad history. 1t is not
quite two years since all there was to
it was little piece of road from St.
Paul down to Mona, MINI.
There are other schemes of Mr.. Stick
neys at which he is working in dead
sober earnest. which are dazzling in
their magnitude. Among these is an
air line from St Paul to Superior, and
a line of big connecting steamers on
the lakes to Buffalo, freight clearing
house, belt line road, and stock yards
at Chicago, deep water terminals at
Staten Island. and a transatlantic
line of steamers to Europe. What
other magnificent possibilities the
future contains, remain to be seen, hut
the millions involved in all the above
mentioned are said to be assured, and
the money is ready as fast as wanted.
Ii they should all be realized and be-
come actualities, the growth and ex-
pansion OF the few miles of road upon
which this has all been and is being
built up will be creation without IA
parallel in railway history.

by law, good things which, in the
hands OF bad men are liable to abuse.
The law-making and law-enforcing
power may be properly invoked to re-
gulate transportation by rail or water,
the law may be called on to declare
what Is proper interest, and at what
point interest leayes off and usury be-
gins, and the law may also regulate
the sale of drugs, to prevent their mis-
use by careless, immoral or bad men.
But an evil, a known, marked, admit
ted evil, an evil which has no adj
mixture of good, an evil which the
sense of the entire civilized world has
branded as an evil can be no more re-
gulated than a barrel of powder can
be fired off by degrees.
Any evil that nee Is regulation

world regards it as an evil, killing is
the only remedy. What would be

A law regulating adultry.

A law regulating highway robbery.
A law regulating forgery.

Gen. Grant a" - Prophet

ST. LOUIS, Jan. IA we'll known
citizen and whilom editor of this city
recalls a quite notable and at the pre-
sent time very significant remark
made by Gen Grant in this city
twelve years ago. The general was
at the Lindell house in conversation
with several newspaper men and
other gentlemen regarding the prob
ability of Democratic control in all
departments Of the national govern
ment. After various opinions had
been expressed by those present, the
general who, as usual, had been an
attentive listener, quietly said:
whenever the Democratic party
comes near to complete control of the
country, it will break its back across
the Allegany mountains on the tariff
question"

A Grand Success.

The entertainment at the rink
Wednesday evening was a decided
success, and the rink was filled to
overhowing. The scenes were inter
esting and mirthprovoking, and the
orderly, intelligent audience which
the entertainment attracted, speak
more highly in its favor than any
comments of ours From the time
the doors were thrown open until the
entertainment commenced, contin-
uous crowd of people poured into the
spacious hall, and many could not
procure seats. CD From the com
mencement of the entertainment ever
and anon roars Of mlrthful laughter
AMI enthusiastic rounds of applause
rceted the different features of the
performance The scenes were from
various and interesting relics, ruins
and buildings in England, Scotland,
Ireland, Germany and France, repre-
senting the Barney Castle, which
contains the 'Blarney Stone" which
empowers any one who kisses it with
having al he wishes for; the Wlnsor
Castle the residence of the queen of
/ England; the Tower of London,
which was built by Julius Cscser;
Steering Castle, which looks on the
field where Bruce led on his hardy
highland patriots to battle against
the Norman Invaders, and where
Scottish arms won a mighty victory
over the foe and the stranger. But
their bravery and the conquest OF one
reeking field awaited them nothing
for ter fair fields and heatherv
mountains were in few years swept
away from their hands by the victor
ious arms of their coyetous foes, and
Under these ruins lies the bodies OF
James Douglas AMI Bruce, Scotland's
rightful king and grea est soldier. Al
together it was success and carried
the minds of the audience to the
days when sturdy heroism prevailed
through Europe, and when men with

-Mankato (Minn) Free Press:
Sam Randall now announces that he
now finds that the president and him
self are not at all at variance upon the
tariff question. This is the way it al
ways comes out. There is no question
which the great Democratic
leaders cannot successfully straddle
To read the Presidents recommend
alton in his message it appears plain
that he boldly attacks the protection
doctrine which has always been the
bulwark of Sam Randalls great
strength in Pennsylvania. But after
a week or two of deliberation, mixed
with an appreciation Of the fact that
such radical recommendation were
acting as boomerang, we are inform
that Mr. Cleveland really didn't mean
anything-probably did not know
what he was talking about-and now
comes Sam Randall and announces
that the President and himself are
fully agreed us to what changes III the
tariff are necessary. Great are the
Dem0cr ttic strad,lers.
