Gen. Harrison's Speeches.

1t is admitted by all intelligent and
fair minded men that Gen. Harrison's
speeches to visiting delegations prior
to the election were really marvels of
their kind; but his speeches in the
u. s. Senate have never been COM
mented upon as of a brilliant or start
ling character. In fact, very little has
been said about them. But CORES
pondent of the New York Sun recently
took the occasion to examine the Con-
gressional Record and make extracts
from the Generals speeches in the
senate and publishes several columns
of them. These extracts show con-
clusively that he is a philosopher, a
man of deep thought, and possessing
"a fair share of humor. Here are a
few of the extracts published in the
Sun:
From his maiden speech in the sen.
ate, Jan. %, 1882: There are men, and
not few, who selfishly absorb the
lives and achievements of others, who
deck themselves with laurels they
have not won and strut in pilfered
greatness.
From his speech Feb. 20, 1882: I do
not like the idea of compelling a pen
sioner, when he comes to the govern
ment for a pension, to be put to the
necessity of exposing his poverty and
basing his claim upon his necessitous
condition.
From his speech of April is, 1882:
Competing lines do not always COM
pete. The price Of grain to the man
whose toll produces it, and to the con.
sumers in the east, has been and often
still is arbitrarily fixed by a conven-
tion Of a half dozen men representing
trunk lines of railroad.
From his speech April Is, 1882: The
free South has at last turned her face
toward the sun and will ere long
eclipse all Of her ante-bellum achieve
naents in production. This result viii
sooner and more surely be achieved by
self-reliant industries than BY rengres-
sional bounties.

The mild weather thus far this win
ter, especially in this section of the
Northwest, has affected the coal trade
very materially. A dispatch dated
Spring Valley, Illinois, Dec. II, says
lowing to the dullness Of trade
throughout the Northwest, two mines
in this city have been closed down,
throwing out of employment about
1900 men. Most Of the coal mines in
this mining district are either closed
down entirely. or running on one
half or three-quarters time"
Spring Valley is located on the
Illinois river, in Bureau county, about
120 miles southwest of Chicago, and
is the location of the most extensive

Knute Wins a Victory.


Our Knute Nelson wins another
feather for his cap. A Washington
dispatch of the Goth inst. says: Knute
Nelson won decided victory today
with his Chippewa Indian bill. which
was before the house on conference
report from the senate. Holman of
Indiana, and Payson of Illinois, were
strong in their objections to its pas
sage, and fought it with much deter
minstion. Their opposition was, as
they said, based on the belief that the
lumber from the lands would soon be
gobbled up by the lumber syndicates
and railroad corporations and that set
tiers would receive no benefit from
the law. The real secret, however,
was based upon the fact that the two
gentlemen named, as members of the
public laws committee. did not want
any legislation upon the subject with
out it being done by authority of their
committee. After about an hours
debate and slight filibustering, the
conference report was agreed to by a
vote of 131 to 80. and Nelson was the
happy winner.
Nelson's bill, which has passed both
houses of congress, provides that the
Chippewa Indians, some 1000 in num-
Der, shall be located in seven town.
ships, and that the remainder Of the
land shall be divided into agricultural
and pine lands. The agricultural
lands, it is provided, shall be taken
under the homestead law at 81 rs per
acre. The pine lands are to be ap-
praised and sold.

The district judge promptly ordered it

below we give the response of Col. Douglas
to that letter, which we commend as having
the true aud manly ring about II that char
acterze all of his actions The letter is as
follows:

that hy beginning the campaign US soon
thereafter Us practicable, we might have the
joint discussions at such places in different
parts of each county as would secure the
attention OF the largest number OF people.
Or course discussion can not amount to
much under the limitations made by your
letter, combining it to one week, near the
close OF the campaign, with one speech in
each county.
But must consider that in the continued
session of Congress your movements are
necessarily restricted, and il for that reason
you think you will not have the opportu.
nj y TO canvass the District and 10 give
more time to the proposed discussion must
recognize the embarrassment of your posi-
ton.
therefore accept your construction of
my proposal and If you will be good enough
to name gentleman to act for you, will
select one who can confer with him and fix
the time and place in each county of the
District. Very truly yours,

HAS MIR. McCOMAS READ THE
MILLS BILL?

lHlbLto mum!
Our present Representative in Congress
has made so many curious statements in his
speeches in regard to the contents and effect
of the Mills bill, that the question at the
head of this article is a natural one.
He first charged-according TO some of
his organs-:hat he and his Republican col
leagues prevented coal from being put on
the free list. This extraordinary statement
has been so effectively disposed of that he
is not likely to repeat it where 1t can be an
swered. He has twice asserted in Hagers-
town, according TO his organs, that the Mills
bill struck down the lime and cement inter-
ests OF Washington county. Now, if Mr..
McComas had read the bill or will read il
now, he will find that the bill does not touch
lime and cement, but leaves them just where
they were before the bill was reported-just
as they have been for years. In brief, not
an industrial interest of this District has
been affeaied by Democratic Committee
and Democratic House, and MIR. McComas
and his Republican colleagues had no OPP
portunity to defend these interests Of our
people even If they were SO inclined.
Surely our Congressman has not read the
Mills bill.-LiagerstoDm Maa
We cannot believe that Mr.. McComas is
so stupid as to go before the people igno-
rant of the Mills bills contents. We never
could guess before the reason why Mr.. Nc

misrepresentation. An adept, dexterous in
