oAKHURsT AND PALErTo.


Oakhurst pursued his search for Agnes
with all the ardor of his nature. One glimpse
only ne had Of ber-at a clothing store, where
he inquired; the clerk seemed to recognize
the description given, and was quite sure
that such a girl had taken out work, but he
believed she was now employed by another
establishment. It was something TO know
that she was in the city, and, probably, not
destitute; still better TO know what path Of
life she had chosen, 50 that his time need not
be wasted in fruitless inquiries. On his re-
turn, after the second days search. he sought
his friend Palette, whose counsel and sym
patty he particularly desired.

TIE APPOINTED TIME.

Knute Nelson, a republican member
of congress from Minnesota, gave the
house some very sensible talk on the
tariff question one day last week. He
said:
1.-The question of protection or free
trade was not fairly involved in the
problem congress- had to solve. The
question was, whether the surplus
should be got rid of by extravagant
expenditures, or whether the taxes
should be reduced. The great body of
the people were agreed that the sur
plus should be reduced by a reduction
of taxation. The next question pre-
scented was whether that reduction
should be applied To the tariff or in
ternal revenue taxes. He sent to the
clerks desk and had read q letter re-
ccived by him from Charles A. Pills
bury, of Minnesota, who, he stated,
was prominent republican, warmly
commanding his course in congress
upon the tariff question, and declaring
that 90 per cent. of the democrats and
rs per cent Of the republicans of Min
nesota agreed with him in his views
The reading of the letter was ap-
plauded on the democratic side. He
also sent to the clerks desk and had
read extracts from Minnesota news
papers and private letters to himself
favoring tariff revision. The reading
was also received with great applause.
Mr. Nelson then quoted western re-
publican platforms declaring in favor
of reduction i'll the tariff at an early
date, and added amidst the laughter
and applause OF the democrats: 1" And
now, my friends, is the appointed
time" Continuing, he said that even
as stiff protectionist as Senator Sher-
man had been forced at the meeting
of the Home Market club To admit
the necessity of tariff revision and to
declare in favor of the admission free
of duty of such raw material and ar
tcles as did not compete with domestic
products In the face of these plat
form pledges and these admissions,
i'll the face of the great and growing
surplus taken from the people and
used by certain banks, without con
sideration therefor, it made him sick
ut heart to think there were leading
men on his side of the chamber who,
Mt this juncture, could not think of
any other field for tax reduction than
on whisky and tobacco. Surely these
were not the things on which the poor
laboring man kept his family. Would
it not be better to give them cheaper
clothes and food and shelter? He
would put free sugar, free salt and
free lumber against free whisky and
tobacco, and SO would the great mass
of the American people.

Villas is Leyel-headed.


Mr. Villas is making better record
for himself, if possible, in the interior
department than he did in the post
office department. He is running
things on the common sense plan, and
giving little attcntion to the minute
technicalities of law. His recent de-
cisiOn in the case Of William Thomp.
son, involving the question of res.
idence upon homestead entries prior
to making final proofs, sets up a
precedent, which, if followed by his
successor will be the means of saving
the land of many poor but honest
settler The fact was clearly estab-
lished that Thompson had acted in
! good faith in making the entry, but
had technically violated the law by
not being on his land during the last
six months preceding the completion
of his entry, when he was absent
working to secure sufficient money
to build house upon the land. Sec
/ rotary Villas considered the case upon
its merits, and justly decided that
Thompson was entitled to a patent
The small technicalitieS of the law
should not be allowed to cut such q
prominent figure in governmental
affairs

In 1867, when the high-wool tariff
went in to operation, there were hogs
in the state of Iowa valued at $1,4S3,.

After 20 years experience with pro.

$277,489, and of hogs s2,S52,530 Ii
1870 there were eighty-tive WOODEN

New Railroad Project.
Knbourn Gazette.

hluOuIu IdLctle
While people generally smoker and
veil "chestnuts" when new railroad
rumors are repeated, there is, never
theleSs, method in the madness" of
those who talk of the road from
Prairie du Sac to Kilbourn This is
not merely few miles between two
points, but would be the starting link
of an important chain which would
open up valuable tract of country
now without a road, and bring much
valuable land to market and occupa-
ton. From Prairie du Sac, a line could
be carried down to the st. Paul road at
Mineral Point, traverSing new
country, and tapping the Northwest
ern at Dodgeville. 1t could also be eX-
tended across the long way of Adams
county, passing through large tract
of country, only waiting road to
become a rich agricultural region, and
then connect with another division of
the st. Paul at Grand Rapids. This is
not visionary project. There is an
imperative demand for just such a
road, and a few more years will make
this fact SO clear that there will be
competition for precedence. The st.
Paul company could not enter into a
real estate boom that would be more
profitable than just such line. 1t
would forestall the certain competition
of other roads TO the Dells, and though
some may affect to sneer at the idea,
the Dells will yet be one of the resorts
of the state. If that company would
spend any part of the money and in
fluence on the Dells that they do on
their new railroad towns, they would
receive two dollars TO one over any OF
the others
