COMING TURRELL's WAY

The Pioneer Press, in a review OF
the speakership contest, states that
both Messrs. w E. Lee and Allen J
Greer candidates for the position, are
well pleased with the event, and then
speaks as follows of Hon. o. B
Turrell:
1t was reported that .. B. Turrell
of Redwood Falls, another candidate
for the Republican caucus nomination
would be in St. Paul yesterday, but
he failed to make his appearance.
There seems to be no question, how
ever, but that he will receive a pretty
solid support from the Second con
gressional district members, and many
OF the older representative in the leg
islature. William Lockwood. of Pipe
stone, who has been reelected from
the Seventh Legislative district, was in
St. Paul Yesterday, and he said that
Mr.. Turrel ought to have the support
of the Second district.
Il have made no pledges" said Mr..
Lockwood, but it would give me
great satisfaction to see Mr.. Turrell in
the speakers chair this winter. He
was disappointed in the congressional
nomination, and is one of the oldest
members in the legislature. This

Special kilograms from New York
city confirm the statement made by
this paper two months since to the eff
feet that the Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroad would soon pass out Of the
hands of receiver, and commence ag-
gressive operations in the railroad
world. A recent telegram states that
the plan for the reimbursement will be
given out shortly and bids goodbye
to Receiver Truesdale. This is good
news to our citizens. But it opens up
to every business man of Redwood
Falls new path of duty over which
he should enthusiastically work. That
road must enter this city. We must
be directly connected with the great
commercial marts of St. Paul and
Minneapolis. This is the only city be-
tween St. Paul and Watertown and
the city that has materially assisted
in the upbuilding of the road, not
withstanding that its depot is nearly
two miles away. The passenger traffic
from here has been enormous, but
would have been greater had the road
entered the city. The St. Louis road
should have five-sixths of the freight
traffic of this city, and as it runs now
it hardly obtains a sixth-no heavy
freight for this point coming over that
road.
We must pull together in this mat
ter, either by having the company
run road southwesterly from Morton
and strike this point or have it run a
track through this city and connect
at Delhi. This work must commence
Immediately following the reorganiza-
ton and must not be abated before
the city sees the St. Louis trains
piercing its bosom.
And in connection with the reorgan
ization let it be said that Receiver
Truesdale has shown his ability as
railroad manager. The remarkable
manner in which he has handled the
affairs of the insolvent company, his
perfect compliance with the laws, his
impenetrable defenses before the rail-
road commission, and his close and
careful financial policy has made an en-
yiable record for the man. We con-
graduate Mr.. Truesdale and hope
that he will continue in the service of
the NJ. & St. L.

them, was the almost utter failure OF
the courts to punish as they deserved
the guilty parties. In many cases the
injured parties failed to prosecute, and
some OF them had the best of reasons
for failing to do SO. Just now the
New York papers have been thrown in
to a spasm OF delight by an order from
superintendent Byrnes lie has abol-
ished the night-sticl5. which as dead
ly weapon can cause the blush of envy
to mantle the cheek of a sandbag or
pair of brass knuckles.
The congratulations of the press on
this concession to law and order re-
mind me of the remark of the little boy,
whose father was in the habit of COM
ing home drunk and dragging his wife
around the room Icy the hair. On one
occasion, not being us drunk as usual,
he forgot to subject his wife to the usual
daily maui, much to the surprise of the
children, one Of whom exclaimed with
bullying eye: so, mamma, amt pa get
ting to be so good?'
But that is not all. The policeman
must no longer carry his small locust
club in his hand, when he has no occa-
sion to use it. He must carry it in
pocket. and must not use it except in
cases of extreme emergency. Hereto
fore the policcman's club was always
being twirled in the air. as if some SUE
den emergency was expected. All this
is very well as far as it goes, but-like
modesty with a ballet dancer-a little of
it has to go very long way. OF course,
the great ma ority of the police are ex-
cellent officers. The complaint is that
the black sheep are not punished, as
they seem to have a mysterious pull at
headquarters. 1t seems that they are
protected by some higher power.
Another CLEAN of sunshine is to be dis
covered in the fact that roundsman,
Daily, by name, is being actually tried
for a most heinious dfense. and there
is good reason to hope that he will be
put in the penitentiary.

civilization was working it's WY back

THE WHECLWOMAN,
She Should he a Thing of Beauty, But
Not Record-EreaLzer.

She Should he Thing of Beauty, But
Not u Record-Breaker.
This is a go-ahead age: an age when
woman is as Enthusiastically gc-ahead
as man, when she is prepared to uphold
her rights against all corners. and
when she even wants voice in the gov
eminent of her country. In such an
age, says Cycling, we venture, daringly
perhaps, to raise our voice in protest
against female record-breakers. We
have nothing but admiration for the
lady cycler: nothing but an earnest
hopefulness that the sport of cycling
may long remain open to her without
the cramped and prejudiced and Argus
eyed public to warp her energy in the
participation of the pastime. Time
was when public opinion was dead set
against the girl cycler, but it is not so
now. and the frequently seen graceful
female figure, erect and steady on her
gliding wheel, is responsible for the
elimination of public prejudice and the
consequent popularization of the pas
time amongst women.
We want to see this happy condition
of affairs continue; nor is this all We
want to see progress made and the num-
Der of lady devotees increased. 1t has
been stated that mountaineering feats
by lady riders will bring about the con-
summation of this wish, but we feel
confident that exactly the reverse will
be the case, and when record breaking
craze takes hold of wheelwomen we fear
the end of the tether is within reach
and female cycling is doomed! 1t mat
tiers not in what walk of life, or in
what pastime she may, take part,
woman may always reap the greatest
benefits and the fullest enjoyment
within the limits of rational indul-
gene. She is born to be graceful, and
whether she rows a boat, manipulates
a punt, rides a horse, plays golf or
tennis, or progresses on wheels, there
is prescribed limit beyond which her
modesty and department should abso-
lutely forbid her to step; and moreover,
beyond which she becomes an exhibi-
ton that excites neither envy in her
comperes or admiration in the opposite
sex.
The record woman-espe-
cially she who essays long distance per-
formances be graceful: the
peculiar action of cycle propulsion at
high speed will not permit it in her
case, and as she poses in scorching atti-
tude, twists her pedals as rapidly as
she is able, and in fact centers all her
attention and energy towards the at
tainment of speed, she cannot fail to be
other than an object of ridicule, an oh
ject to which the finger of scorn is just
ly pointed. and a spectacle which is
neither edifying, or in the least likely
to lead others to take up the pastime of
cycling. We hope, therefore, the record
breaking lady cycler has not come to
stay.

How 'Pickwick" Has Sold

Mr.. Chapman believes that the firm
originally paid Dickens about $4,000 for
"P1ckwick," though Forster puts it at
E5Oo less, and the copyright reverted to
the author after years. AS to what fol
lowed, Dickens the younger writes:
How many editions 'Pickwick' has
gone through, and how many millions of
copies of the book have been sold during
the last fifty years. it would be impossible
to calculate. To this day it remains the
most popular of it's authors works, and
enjoys a sale which would be large for a
very popular and successful new book.
while original copies in good condition are
favorite objects of competition among book
collectors. The considerable sum of TWEEN
ty-eight pounds was given at Messrs.
Sotheby's rooms by Mr. Frederick Bur
CESS, in December, 1886, for perfect set of
the original numbers, and the price was
not held by experts to be at all too high.
On the other hand, penny edition was
sold about the streets of London during
the summer of 1886 by hundreds of thou
sands"
Not bad record after more than half a
century of life, for in 1896 Mr.. Pickwick
made his bow, and yet awhile at all
events" as the editor says, he may hope to
be neither all forgotten nor quite unintel
igible.-London Spectator.
