The Marinette Eagle speaks as
follows of the Ninth District
Congressman: Hon. Myron H.
McCord will soon take another
trip to Washington to look after
the material and business interests
of his vast district and constit-
uency. Those who predicted with
such owl-like wisdom, that Mr..
McCord would be found wanting
when put to the severe test of
efficiently representing SO large a
district, will find that they "reck-
oned without their host" Mr..
McCord already fills the full meas
ure of responsibility ably and we'll
and of him, we are confident that
it will be said, without any refec-
ton whatever on his able prede-
Cessors, that their mantle has not
only fallen on worthy shoulders,
but that this district has never had
a better representative

The great Paris Exposition was
formally opened May 9th. Every
department is in a decidedly
incomplete shape, and it is very
evident that its directors have
failed to profit by the wonderful
example that was set for them by
those that bought the Philadelphia
Centennial Exposition to such a
degree of order by its opening day.
AS matter of fact, it will at least
be a month before the affairs will
have gotten on its best bib and
tucker and be in a position to
receive visitors. Over fifteen
thousand men are working in shifts
of eight hours each, but there
seems to be neither head or tail to
the management, and the curses,
loud and deep, that come from the
thousand of exhibitors are equal
in volume to the torrent Of
Niagara.

"Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by lady in
this county. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven wears
she withstood its sever est tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption and was so much relieved
on taking first dose that she slep all

TALLAHASSEE, April 1.-The Flor
ida Legislature met in regular session
at noon to-day. General J. 3. Wall
of Tampa was chosen President OF the
Senate and DR.. J. l.. Gasklns nT Starkc
Speaker Of the House. In taking his
seat the latter made brief speech, in
which he said:
"I cannot believe it was ever the in
tention of Jefferson that any man re-
ceiving majority of the votes OF the
whole people should not take the posi-
tinn of President of the United States,
vet the startling fact confronts us that
Cleveland received $4,000 more votes
than his opponent anu still is not Pres
ident. 1t is the duty of the Florida
Legislature to inquire into and correct
this defect in the national organism III
so far as it CAN" -,
The sentiment was greeted by wild
applause and is regarded here as the
first State gun fired in behalf OF the
popular election of President.

The Four New States.

The four new Slates-North Dakota
S,uth Dakota, Montana and Wash,
have just been admit
ted to the Union make very interest,"
ing study. -
30 other government in any part OF
the world can have the experience
which We are now passing through.
The sense of growth and increasing
strength which we enjoy is extremely
One by one these great
stretches of territory lying i'll the
Northwest, the West and the South
west, are being populated by pioneers
of olir own blood and nationality.
PHYSICIANS. tradesmcn, lawyers,
Dreachers and artisans who found no
outlet for their cnergies'in the crowded
and suti0cating cities, have poured
over the millions of acres beyond the
Mississippi, formed governments,
knocked at the door of the republic
and been admitted to equal State priv
ilegcs with ourselves.
First, us to area, the two DakotaS
cover very nearly fifty million acres
each. South Dakota is larger than
New York, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts. There is enough more
TO make six or eight Rhode Islands
out of. ,.,
Montana is one ofthe gigantic States.
She is bigger, than New York and the
whole of New England, with New
Jersey, Dclcwarc, Maryland and North
Carolina thrown in.
Washington is about the size of carh
of the Nake!as, half the size "i M"n,
tana, and has am acrearge that would
cover Maine, New Hampshire, Mnssa-
chusetts, Vermont and New Jersey.
At the end of the last century fa-
NOUS Englishman visited this country,
and on his return wrote Il book about
us, as nearly every foreigner does. He
declared that the Allcghany Moun'
tuins would forever bar out progress.
They were a wall that must always
keep our population OH the scaboard.
The West, he declared, would remain
an undevciopcd territory. What
would he say if he could return?
Second as to population. Tidal
waves have been sweeping Westward
during the last twenty years. In lSGO
the two DalIotaS had 1857 inhabitants
in 1870, l4,lSl; in 1850, 1871 in
1857, 600, 900. Such IN increase is well
nigh incrcdiable. Montana had with
in her hnrdcrs eight years ago -, l'hI
pcr<nlls. Her estimated population ut
the present time is l71j,Mhl. Washing
ton hal in lSSo 71,l Ii and eight years
lutrY lGn,Ww.
The West is clearly the field for ell
terprise. With shrcwdness, energy,
genius, hardihood, these four States
have carved out their OWL magHiticenl
fortunes and have not yet exhausted
themselves by any means. Their IL
turc is grander than the prophets OF
