Judge Wilson Was Amusing.

We listened with pleasure to Judge
Wilson's speech, Tuesday evening, and
especially to his statement regarding
the taxation of certain railroad lands,
and regarding that bill '157" relieving
those certain lands from back taxes.
What he stated was no doubt true
enough, but he forgot portion of our
State history in which he took promi-
nent part, as an attorney, at least. In
1874, when w. G. Ward was in the SEN
ate and Jas. E. Child was in the house,
from this, county, and when Gen. Edg-
erton was railroad commissioner, law
was passed to tax the Winona & st. Pc
ter railroad lands which had escaped
taxation for years. These lands were
placed upon the assessment rolls in 1873
for future taxation, but a law was pass
ed in 1874 levying back taxes for the
years they had escaped taxation. Those
back taxes amounted to many thousands
of dollars, and Mr.. Child, as chairman
of the railroad committee during that
session, was active in securing the pas
sage of the law. Mr., Wilson fought the
law at every step-took all the tax cases
to the supreme court and kept them
there for long time, and in the mean
time the railroad land company secured
a repeal of the back tax law. tits noto-
rious that the w. & ST. P. r. r. Co. lat the

Thus far we have failed to see any
reference in the Democratic papers re-
garding the revised tariff on nails. Now
this is an article of common use on the
farm and in the workshop. But Els not
particularly strange that the Democrat

this matter. They have been too busy
looking after the cold comforts of ice to
pay much attention to those articles which
are of interest to the masses. Here are

THE LIST STRONG.
Bulls Watching for GOuId's Re-

NEW YORK Nov 26.-The stock market to-
day was less active than that of yesterday.
but as no one expected any activity at all,
the little that was shown during the latter
portion of the day was somewhat of sur
prise as was also the undoubted strength
displayed in all parts of the list, as the gen
tendency would prevail. The bulls, how
ever. are calculating upon Mr. Gould's return
from Boston to inaugurate a fresh upward
movement. There was no need of waiting
for that, however, as the events of
the day sufficiently proved. and while
depression again marked the early deal
ings. the final gains are large in
some eases. and in few stocks is there any
decline whatever. The dullness of the open
ing was in part due to the continuation of
the reaction of yes erday. and partly due to
the selling of the foreigners on The dsquiet-
ing news from South America, but the Lon
don mar ket showed no weakness for Ameri-
can stocks, even after prices had been forced
down here by raid in the first half hour,
and the foreigners evidently changed front,
becoming liberal buyers where they had sold
in the early trading. The raid was accom-
panied by reports that there was fatal dis
agreement among the Sugar trustees, and
that some of the assets were unavailable and
the bears paid particular attention to Sugar,
forcing it off from 81 to AZ. Paci-
tic Mail yielded Ia, Northern Pacific

however, buying orders appeared in the
market, and the course OF prices was soon
changed and the early losses in the general
list were quickly made up with fractions in
addition. Union Pacific, St Paul and Rock
Island led in this movement throughout,
and from the lowest points advances OF from
1 to per cent were scored. The improve
ment in the whole list, however, received d
great impetus In the last hour by the an
nouncement that Judge Cullen, in BROOKLYN
had issued an injunction granting stay of
proceedings. under the late Judgment, until
the hearing to be held next Saturday. Upon
this, Sugar, which had recovered portion of
its loss, made sudden jump to sc, gain of
