1t may re. 3nably be expected, if the
opinions of statesmen like ingalls, and
railway experts like Depew, Fink and
Huntington are to be believed that on
the Fourth of July, 1926, it will be
possible to enter palace car at New
York, Chicago, st. Louis or San Fran
cisco and take continuous journey to
Valparaiso or Rio de Janeiro. BY that
time the American continent will have
been, in the opinion of these men,
bound together by continuous iron rails
concentrated at the isthmus and radiat-
ing ever the United States and the
South American continent. Already
the engineers are at work making sur.
veys. Ex-Mayor William r. Grace, of
New York, said that the railway over
the Andes, connecting the Peruvian
plateau with the Pacific coast, is praci-
cally finished. A link will be built ex-
tending through Peru to Bolivia and
the Argentines. and the only engineer
ing work of great difficulty in this inter-
continental system will be that which is
Unnecessary to surmount the mountains
Of Ecuador and Bogota. The engineers
who have made preliminary surveys
declare that such mastery of the noun
tains will not be so difficult as was the
surrounding OF the Andes by the rail-
way roadbed which has just been COM
pleted.
1t is not Mr.. Depew's opinion that
any extensive new systems Of railways
will bc constructed in the United States
within the next twenty-five years. The
tendency will be to consolidation of
existing systems, to perfecting road beds
and especially to the development OF
fast trains. Railroad managers now
say that it is reasonable to expect, even
with no new developments, that early
in the next century it will be q part Of
schedule OF every great trunk line To
run trains between the seacoast aud
Chicago, or other cities of the Mississip-
/ pi valley, between the breakfast hour
and bedtime. The public will by thai
time have demanded train service
averaging about sixty miles an hour, and
it will be easily attained. These con
lectures, adds the Commercial Gazette
do not take into consideration the pos
ibility of the substitution of electricity
a motive power for steam.

EDITOR SENTINEL am informed
that ut tue lasi term of the circuit
court two men were convicted of selling
liquor ut Huron bay without having
paid the tax required by law, and that
each wero fined $50 and costs. I am
also informed that these fines have not
been paid, neither has the tax been
paid, and yet these fortunate individuals
have not been punished as re-
quired by their sentence. am also in
formed that there is a saloon at Mes.
toria which run all of last year without
q licence and has paid none so far this
year. What is the matter with Baraga
county that the laws cannot be enforced ?
1t is the duty, as understand it, of the
sheriff, prosecuting attorney and super
visors to see that these laws are en-
forced, and if they can't do it they ought
at least to resign and let some ono else
try.

OUR MILITARY STRENGTH.
Nearly 100000 Men I'm Tennessee Avail
able for Military Duty.
Adintant-G eneral Norman hI

Adjutant-General Norman has
completed his annual report to the
War Department.
The report shows some valuable
statistics, which will be read with
especial interest at this time, when
there are so many rumors of war
and possibilities Of internecine
strife, both at Coal Creek and in
Chill.
The National Tennessee Guard,
General Norman says, amounts to
1856 men. This number repre-
sents all cavalry, infantry and artil-
lery companies in the State that
are thoroughly equipped and ready
for service. It does not include a
number of companies throughout
the State and particularly in East
Tennessee, which have not re-en-
listed during the Buchanan admin
istration.
The number Of able-bodied men
in the State between the ages of
eighteen and forty-fveavaiIable for
service is given at 290,246. These
figures are as nearly correct as Cen
eral Norman was able to make them
with the data he had before him.
He thinks the military strength of
the State really more than 100000.

100000, the largest increase in any
one year up to that time, but the
gain in 1891 over 1890 was $780,

OUR GUS AND NIB. BoUTELLE.
THEY INDULGE IN a LIVELY DEBATE.
Enloe Gives the Maine Humorist Severe
"Setting Down"

'SetilhS down..
New York Evening Postl
The value Of debate had fresh
illustration in the House on Friday
last, when the Holman resolutions
on retrenchment in pubic expen-
ditures were under consideration.
Mr.. Boutelle, the funny man Of.
Maine, took occasion to show how
familiar he was with the works Of
Dickens by comparing hesupport-
ers Of the resolutions to Mrs.
Squeers, Mr.. Pecbsniff and Mr.
Chadband all III one breath. Then
he turned the shafts Of his ridicule
on Mr.. Wheeler, Of Alabama, who
has an ailment OF the throat, and
compared him to an Edison phono-
graph doll Cheered by the ap-
plause that greeted him from his
own side Of the House, he next
went for Mrs. Flower, the wife Of
the governor of New York, and
made fun, in his Boutellian way, Of
some interview with her that he
had found in the newspapers. The
value of debate in this case was
shown in the sequel Mr.. Enloc,
Of Tennessee, followed the Maine
humorist, and gave him such a
Setting down" as is sometimes ad-
ministered to unruly boys in a
country school-house. Mr.. Enloe
alluded with proper dignity to the
"excreable taste" which prompted
Boutelle to make fun Of the phys
zeal infrmities ola fellow-member
Then he adverted to the great dis
courtesy" of Boutelle's illusions to
Mrs. Flower in these terms:
This debate illustrates another
point, and that is the difference in
presiding officers. While in the
last Congress we were frequently
denied the privilege of discussing
matters foreign to the subject un-
der debate, the gentleman's speech
has taken thewidest range without
touching the question before the
House. That is an example of the
freedom of debate. Twill also say
to the gentleman that ] think he
was guilty Of great discourtesy to
the wife Of the governor Of New
York, whose friendship he claims,
toread before this House in polit-
ical debate, and for a political pur-
pose, some expression Of hers that
was perhaps spoken, if spoken at
all, as we often speak here, in the
presence Of some reporter who was
not known to be a reporter, who
went off and reported it and put il
in the newspapers. 1t is the way
we frequently get into print.
II do not think it was courteous
to her to read that matter here, but
if the gentleman proposes to make
an argument upon it, | am for the
American idea, and wish he had
gone a little further and told this
House where the last set Of china
ordered for the White House came
from, andwhether it was not bought
in a foreign market"
Nothing more discreditable has
been printed in the columns Of the
Congressional Record during the
present session than Boutelle's at.
tempt to be funny at the expense
Of Mr.. Wheeler and of Mrs. Flower
but his punishment was swift ant
satisfactory.

PowDERLY ON IMMIGRATION.
He Thinks This Country should Not be
Europe's safety-Valve.

Europo's safety-Valve.
General Master Workman Pow
derby has issued an address on the
Chinese immigration question, in
which be says that had not the tide
of Chinese immigration been stop
ped there would not now be white
laborer at work west Of the Rocky
Mountains, while those east Of that
range would be retreating before
the barbaric hordes who work al
most for nothing. Mr.. Powderly
makes a strong plea for the restric-
ton Of immigration "of kind that
is scarcely any better than that
which flows from China"
He say: II believe that the day
has arrived for those who love hu-
mainly to protest against the fur
ther immigration Of these people.
The United States and Canada
should no longer constitute the
safety-valve Of Europe. Self-pres-
eryation is the first law Of nature,
and the time has come to state
feorlessly and unequiyocally that
the immigration Of to-day is a curse
to those who are here, as we'll as to
those who come"
In conclusion Mr.. Powderly urg-
es all members Of the order to work
for the restriction Of immigration,
and the election Of United States
Senators by direct vote.

WOODRUFF INDICTED.
The Pulaski Grand Jury Returns
Three Indictments Against Him.

three indictments Against Him.
| Yesterday. the Pulaski county Grand
Jury returned three indictments
against ex-Treasurer Woodruff for
embezzlement and grand larceny CON-
mitted since his term of office expired.
Woodruff is accused of embezzling
and Obtaining under false pretences
$4,000. The three indictments charge
embezzlements grand larceny, and false
pretences, and which TO the public
is understood to mean a case of theft.
About 2 O'Clock yesterday Woodruff
wos arrested and promptly gave bond
for his appearance at the next term of
the Pulaski Circuit court.
One indictment charges the
embezzlement of S6,O3S.29 of
live State scrip. After Mai.
Woodruff retired from the office
.ofState Treasurer, and about two days
before the Legislative Investigating
Committee adjourned, j. l.. Bay
showed the Treasurer some live State
scrip of the issue of 1873 that he had
to turn over, This committee sched-
uled this scrip, and with principal and
interest ii amounted to nearly $10,-
900. When this "missing scrip
which was stolen from the Treasurer's
Office, turned up, the payment of it
was enjoined, pending investigation,
and it was proved the States proper
ty Woodruff or his agents having
stolen H. rs ae
The other indictments charge Maj.
Woodruff with obtaining orders from
the State Debt Board for the issuance
Of scrip under false pretences, In each
Indictment there are two counts. The
first count in each Of these indictments
charges Major Woodruff with making
false representations to the State Debt
Board by presenting coupons and rep
resenting that they had been presented
for redemption in bond scrip by one,
Johnson i. Jones, in one instance, and
johnson j Jones in the other, per-
sons, whose existence Is believed to
have been NEUROLOGICAL The second
counts in these indictments charge
him with obtaining the scrip on these
orders under false pretenses. In the
Johnson j. Jones case, the amount in
volved was $3.50; while the amount
in the johnson j. Jones case was
$3.50. The bonds from which these
coupons were detached are marked
"destroyedn on the Treasnrer's stubs
in his receipt book, this fact only be-
ing discovered few days ago, while
ii is understood that the bonds are
now in the possession of certain well
known citizens in neighboring city.
Thus ends another chapter in the
history Of Woodrun's crimes of thiev-
ing against the State. Not content
with bankrupting the treasury while
in office, he afterwards stole live state
scrip, and passed it on innocent
parties.
He was turned loose by jury of
twelve men, for robbing the state
while in office, and 1t now remains to
be seen if another jury will again
make travesty Of justice by doing
the same thing. Woodruff is no bet
ter than a horse thief and should be
made to swear the stripes for long
term Of years.
