IT is always sign of weakness when a
disputant, driven from one post to an
other, has at last no other reply to make
than the response of the sneer. The San
Francisco Bulletin, unable to answer the
charges Of the interior against the pur-
pose of the metropolis, resorts to the
sneer, and pronounces the argument adj
Yanced concerning the unit of transporta-
ton to be pointless, and the belief that
San Francisco means to insist upon a
unit Of five or ten carload lots, to be
bugbear. 1t assumes that the RECORD
UNION gives rein to its Imagination in
this matter. The RECoRD-UNIoN imag-
ines nothing regarding the effort of the
metropolis to absorb all the business of
distribution; it has indubitable evidences
of all it asserts in that regard. San Fran
clsco's whole contention is for the pur-
pose of securing such rate discrimination
in her favor that the interior will be COM
PEELED to take its chief supplies out of that
city. The contention Of the interior is
that between the producer and the met
ropolitan merchant importing element
there is not and cannot be any commu-
unity of interest; that San Francisco hay-
ing lost the trade north and south of her
by reason of her own want Of energy and
because new lines of transportation have
been opened up, creating supply stations
Independently of her, she should turn her
attention, not to peddling TO the interior,
or to efforts to rob the latter of its termi-
nal privileges, but to commanding trade
between her port and distant points, as
has done the true merchant class in other
great cities, whose commercial horizon is
imitless. / To disclaim intention to in
jure and yet to continue efforts that, if
successful, can have no other effect than
the breaking down of interior trade and
the creation of a monopoly of distribu-
ton for San Francisco, is not to convince
the inland towns and cities that San
Francisco has any higher motive prompt
ing her than the enlargement of her
profits irrespective of cost of supplies to
the consumers.

prevail people build accordingly. From
local observation and knowledge of the
towns where the most damage occurred,
we make the assertion that if all the
houses had been substantially built the
recent shocks would have had no effect;
also, that no wall overthrown exceeded
nine inches in thickness, and that there
was neither backing, anchoring nor
bracing to any wall cast down. In fact
most of the walls could have been
pushed out. In the rural parts, where
the disturbance centered, the buildings
are all slight, and very few, if any, are
constructed as they should have been in
this or any other country.
In fact, our earlier architecture has
lacked the element of permanency in
many of our towns, and is but rarely
strong and massive in its buildings.
The lesson of the late shake-up will be
found to be good one. 1t will teach us
to bind our walls firmly, to do honest
work in their cementing, to put them up
to stay, and to resist either cyclone or
earthquake. All the towns that have
suffered by the seismic disturbance will
benefit immensely in the immediate
present and future. They will have their
old buildings reconstructed and cor
rected, and their new ones properly
built. What now appears loss we believe
will turn out to be a great blessing. It
will bring the people to the proper sense
OF duty in erecting structures of stone
and brick, and will hasten the time when
thin, quickly thrown up unbound walls,
with sandy cementing apologies, will be
prohibited.

THE TRUTH AND THE LESSON OF
THE RECENT DISTURBANCE.

No buildings have had walls pushed
over or Prevails cast down by the tenn
blors of the last few days that were prop
erly constructed. The eternal, never
ending processes of nature by which the
earth's form is modified, go on and will
for all time, and if men do nor build with
this truth in view they will be entitled to
no sympathy if they suffer in conse-
quence.

wooden joints opened in buildings not

a WARNlNG-DON'T USE Big WORDS.

In promulgating esoteric cogitations
or articulating superficial sentimental
ties and philosophical or psychological
observations, beware of platitudinous
ponderosity. Let yoar statements
possess clarified conciseness, compac-
ted comprehensibleness, coalescent
consistency and concentrated cogency.
Eschew all conglemerations of iatulent
garrulty jejune babblement and asinine
afeetations, In trying to impress upon
others the superiority of the Wisconsin
Central Lines, the direct route to and
from Milwaukee, Chicago and points
East and South, and Ashland, Duluth,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and all points
North and West, and why you and so
many others use this thoroughfare, 1t is
not necessary to use Jawbreakers. Let
your extemporaneous descantings and
unprecedented expatiations have
intelligibility and veracious vivacity,
without rhodomontade or thrasonical
bombast. Sedulouslv avoid all poly
syllable profundity, psittaceous vacuity,
ventriloqual verbosity and vandiloquent
vapidity, shun double entendres,
prurient jocositv and pestiferous
profanity, obscurent or apparent. In
other words, talk plainly, naturally,
sensibly, and truthfully say the Wiscon-
sin Central Line is the route, and that
ends it,

A PLEASANT AFFAIR,

There was large and brilliant
gathering at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
7. C. st. Amour last Wednesday
evening when the debut into society
of Mr.. Alfred and Miss Pearl St. Amour
was celebrated in royal style. Prepa-
rations had been made for pleasant
time, their beautiful home was
brilliantly lighted and every conceivable
thing was provided to make the soiree
an enjoyable one. Early in the
evening the guests began to arrive and
shortly after o'clock the rooms were
crowded. 1t was merry5 go easy
assemblage and the costnmes of many
of the young ladies were very fine. Of
course the young gentlemen also
appeared in their very best. Miss
Pearl received in an artistic and very
becoming evening dress and looked
real charming and attractive.
Alfred was neatly and nicely clad in
suit of conventional black. They were
assisted by Miss Maud Tibblts, of
Wausaus who was guest of Miss Pearl
at this time. Most of the evening was
passed with cards and other amuse-
ments. A sumptuoas repast was served
which was preceded and followed by
music; both instrumental and vocal,
made more pleasant by the happy
surroundings. The gem of the evening
on this part of the program was a solo
by little Ruby st. Amour and it was
heartily encored. Great credit is due
Mr.. and Mrs. st. Amour for the
hospitality shown and attention given
to the many young guests throughou,
the evening. They were constantly on
the alert and left no leaf unturned
| which might increase the comfort and
pleasures Of the occasion.

GARDNER RIFLES:

An attempt was made by tie Gardner
Rifles last Monday evening to elect
successor to Captain Crawford but no
quorum was present. This was due to
the fact that it requires two thirds Of
the company for quorum and many
members were absent from the Twin
cities either teaching or working in the
woods. One member of the company
was preFented attending by his father.
That father was very anxious to have
order that he might have the benefit
Of the military discipline there put into
practice. For the accommodation of that
father and at his request the company
once adjourned its meeting. We
wonder if it occurred to that father that
by his refusal to permit his son to
attend this election he was causing that
son to violate his enlistment oath. We
wonder further if it ever occurred to
him that he was under anv obligations
to the Company for past favors. We
wonder if this gentleman is Sc consti-
tilted by nature that he must throw
cold water en- any enterprise or
organization that is started within his
reach. Some people seem to be SO
constituted.
The election was adjourned for one
week at which time it is confidently
expected that quorum will be present
and an election occur: Several persons
have signifed their desire to join the
company, and undoubtedly some Of the
young men coming TO the twin cities
soon would like to join if they knew
that they would be welcomed. And
they would be. The purposes of the
organization are military training and
social entertainment. No provisional
company in the state stands higher in
military discipline and requirements,
and the many pleasant and high stand
ard social entertainments given by the
company in the past attest its success
IN the social line. We do not know Of
any social organization that has served
to advertise the twin cities more than
the Gardner Rifles, and we hope that
they will receive in the future the same
cordial support from the people. and
maintain the high stardard that they
have received and maintained under
the leadership of Captain Crawford.

A large number attended the New
Years Ball given by the Firemen
Notwithstanding the disagreeable and
blizzardy weather which ushered in the
dawn of 1892. A fine time was had by
all, for what else could one do but
dance under the beautiful strains of
music furnished by Dana's orchestra.
Old and young alike were set in motion
by their choice selections and the scene
within presented striking contrast to
the wind and snow without. The Fire
Company little more than cleared
themselves on this venture but consider
it lucky that they did even this much
in such unfavorable weather and with
such heavy expenses.
