WHAT THE MILLS BILL MEANS

I'VE have," Mr.. Mills said, "pass-
ed bill, the object of which is TO
reduce tho taxes on food, clothing
and the implements OF labor, and
which also proposes that the raw
materials used by our manufacturers
shall como i'll without tax of any
sort, and that goods, now made by
foreign labor which We import shall
be made by our own labor, instead
of your machinery being idle one
third of the time, it shall run all the
time, and that will mean 100000
moro lnborers and better wages for
all. We have now passed this bill
aud sent it to our friends in tho Sen
ate. AT last accounts they hadn't
decided what to do with it. If they
shall do nothing-if they shall sim
ply say This bill was sent over by
Queen Victoria. 1t is the work of

pie will say. Here is $9,O0O,O00 a

lation and being boarded in the

Tho speaker, in overhauling the
record of the Republican party, point
cd out the fact that it had taken
taxes off the railroads, the banks and
the insurance companies, but not off
the necessaries of life. They now

early day were called grub land

driven by a strong breaking team.
Where proper pains were taken by
settlers, what was only twigs and
brush wood now has trees of consider
able size. The larger portion of the
wood brought into market, not includ-
ing that by the lake, is of second
growth. The brick kiln near the city
has contracted for hundred cords
second growth wood. A farmer in the
country says that with proper care
there will be enough homegrown wood
in the county to supply the necessity
the next hundred years. The wisdom
of that national legislation which en-
abled settlers to secure homestead by
making tree planting claim will be
more fully appreciated in years to
come. If all that is here said does not
accord with the views of the reader, ii
is because differences Of opinion exist

CROOKED OR DOCTORED BEER.

CROOKED OR DOCTORED BEER.
Several weeks ago the fact was noted
in the TELEGRAPH that samples Of
beer from some of the principal brew.
ing establishments in different states
had been subjected to chemical analy-
sis by the Government at Washington,
and unhealthy impurities had been
found to more or less extent. Among
the thirty-three samples analysed were
two from Milwaukee. This matter
would not have been referred to again
but for a candid account of the result
of the examination of the chemists
of the Government by the Chicago
Stats Zeitung. That most respectable
German newspaper in the West says
it is proven by the Government that
there is crookedness in beer, and the
results "are astonishing to the beer
drinker" The Stats Zeitatng declares
that in view of its influence on health
crooked beer is much worse than crook.
ed butter" Tue same paper suggests
that Congressman Guenther, a German,
and representative in the House
from Wisconsin,, should introduce a
bill in Congress against authorizations
of this kind, such as are in effect in
Germany. These statements are made
for the information of users of beer,
as the fact of crooked or doctored beer,
as the Stats Zeita,ng calls it, is no
longer matter of doubt.

SENSIBLE PEOPLE.

A leading religious paper describes
the arrangement between two church.
es, Episcopal and Congregational, in
the city of Worcester, Mass, to meet
jointly together during the season of
Lent. The congregations will unite on
two evenings each week. On Sunday
evenings the pastors will preach alter
nately. These churches surrender none
of their distinctive principles, nor COM
promise any ceremonies which are of
Importance. Three distinguished Epis-
copal clergymen and three Congrega-
tional clergymen, from other cities,
have consented to preach once each for
the united congregations in the season
of Lent. This is sensible move, and
the marvel is, that such occurrences
are not frequent. If there be but one
acknowledged Leader, then why es-
arrangements.

RAPID GROWING OF TIMBER
ON THE PRAIRIES.

Persons who have given no attention
to the subject have no adequate idea
how rapidly timber grows on the
western prairies. The larger proper
ton of Kenosha county, with the ex-
ception of the eastern part of the town
of Somers. forty years ago, was mostly
denominated prairie. Much of the
original growth of timber found in the
county at its early settlement has been
cut away. Leaving out the heavy
timber originally in the eastern part
of Somers, the opinion is expressed by
old settlers that there is as much tim
Der in the county as forty years ago.
1t. is said that twenty-five cords Of
wood. called second growth, have been

The people of Dakota are much dis
turbed over the exaggerated reports of
the number of deaths in that territory
caused by the extreme cold weather ,
Measures will be taken to obtain the
exact number of deaths caused by the
cold weather. These statements will
be authenticated, showing the gross
perversion of the truth by the news
papers. 1t is stated the most eXtraor-
binary storm known in the northwest
came on sudden on Il warm, thawing
day, when the people were out on their
farms, and without heavy winter
clothing, They were thus enveloped
in terrific storm of sleet and icy
particles, with no immediate shelter
at hand.

In the Farmers Institutes, which
have been held in the state, the profits
of sheep aud wool growing have re-
ceived much attention, especially as
the wool tariff is connected with the
question of profit. The following state
ment was given by Mr.. Scofield, of
Adams county: "A few years ago he
purchased fifteen sheep for $32, and in
three years sold $500 worth of wool,
and the increase from the flock. The
cost of the food he believes did not ex-
coed $50, If this corresponds with
the experience of farmers in other
parts of the state, sheep husbandry
must be reasonably profitable.

Notes preliminary to the general
election to be held in this state, as
well as most other states. next fall,
are becoming common quite early. 1t
is yet over eight months before the
elections will occur. Candidates were
never more plenty thus early, and will
no doubt lie increased in coming
months. In this state three candi-
dates are prominently spoken of for
Governor, besides others whose names
have been suggested, with but slight
following. For Lieutenant Governor
4 still greater number of possible can
didates are named. For Secretary of
State, besides the pres; mt incumbent,
two others are prominently mentioned
For members of Congress one or more
candidates have been suggested in
each of the nine districts in the state.
In this district there has Teen but
little more than hints who will ask a
nomination for the position. 1t is
hoped that when the proper time
comes the right candidate will be
selected, so that there shall be no ey-
cuse for a portion of the party to fly
off in a tangent. as in some past years,
and support the opposition.
Where public officers discharge their
duties faithfully and honestly, the plea
for change to give new men chance
may have some force, but is not of
great weight.

and do not deteriorate in consequence
of this close confinement. They tlo not
spare the use of the curry comb on
their COWS. The Danes keep their
stables clean and comfortable, treat their
COWS kindly, and milk them at the
proper time of the day; they keep
their cows fo1 pay. He said the Danes
are voracious readers, and warned the
farmers of the United States and Canada
that Denmark is one OF their most
dangerous competitors in farming and
dairying.
Mr.. Hoard was then called upon
again. He entertained the audience
with several amusing stories, which had
no especial application to farming, un-
less they were to apply as temperance
lecture.
After another piece of instrumental
music, the large audience was dismissed,
to meet again in the same place at $50
the next morning. evidently much
pleased with the evenings work.
Owing to the too small capacity of the
Court rooms, it was decided to hold the
remainder of the sessions in Kimball
Opera House.

RAPID GROWTH OF TOWNS.

1t is certainly remarkable how rapid
ly towns and cities spring up in the
heavy timbered region in the northern
part of this state. Cold weather, frost
and deep snow do not deter settle
ment in the country bordering on Lake
Superior. Less than two years ago
the city of Ashland had population
of between 1000 and 5000. 1t has
been recently ascertained the city has
now a population of $4,000, with the
prospect of the same rapid increase the
present year.

MAJOR CHAUNCEY DAVIS
DEAD.

There was no better known citizen
here from 1886 to 1S4S than Major
Chauncey Davis. He was man of
more than ordinary ability and highly
esteemed by all who knew him. He
went from this place to Muskegon,
Mich. and engaged in the lumber
business for Judge Newell. His stand
ing in Muskegon may be learned from
an obituary notice of him. published in
the Chicago Inter Ocean:
MUSHROOM, MICH, Feb. 9.-Major
Chauncey Davis, one of Muskegon's
Oldest and best known citizens, died
here this morning. Major Davis came
to Muskegon in 1S48 and engaged in
the lumber business. He was one of
first directors of the Booming Com
pany, and its first President. He was
elected to the state legislature in 1850.
and reelected in 1862, serving through
the years of the rebellion. In 1870 he
was elected Mayor Of Muskegon and
reelected in 1872. At it's Inauguration
in 1878 he was made President of the
Lumberman's National Bank, which
position he has held ever since. He
was one of Muskegon's most active and
public.spirited citizens.

BLAINE DECLINES.

The chairman of the Republican
National Committee has received a
letter from James G. Blaine, dated at
Florence, Italy, in which he declines
being a candidate for the Presidency.
This will be welcome news to few
Republican journals that have for
months been laboring to prove Blaine
an unpopular candidate, while other
newspapers believe Blaine to be the
strongest and best qualified man for
the position. To the question whether
Blaine would refuse the nomination, if
rendered to him by q decided vote in
the convention, his most ardent friends
still believe he might accept it. Mr..
Blaine has written a letter to the
National Committee, reviewing the
situation, and declaring the prospect
for the success of the party full of
promise. 1T Blaine is not to be the
candidate, what has been said of him
may be repeated, without successful
contradiction. He possesses more of
the varied talents of craftsmanship
than any of the suggested candidates.
This is not mere defamation; his pub
lie record is proof of the statement. He
has been called the Gladstone of the
United States; he comes nearest to a
comparison with that eminen. British
statesman. Notwithstanding all of
these qualities, Mr.. Blaine might not
be the strongest candidate for the
Presidency in the coming campaign.
That essential quality called "avail-
ability" must be consulted in order to
succeed.
