A jolly and very select number of
young ladies and gentlemen took hay
drive on Tuesday night last from this
place out to the delightful rdsidence of
MFR. F. E. Stokes, about a miles from
town.
It was gotten up 10 honor of Miss
Rosa 'Sherrouse, of New Orleans. and
Miss Eva Lawther. of Barbleck The
party consisted of these and of Mrs. Fl.
Crawford, Misses Katie Small, Susie
Thompson, Mary Littell, Florence and
Eta Truman and Pearl Harmanson.
The happy young gentlemen were,
Jeta Stokes, Henry Pavy, John Har-
manson, Louis Andrus. Fritz Dietlein,
Jonas Jacobs, Frank Stokes, j. R. Bon.
net and Alvin Price.
The moon had Just reached its full
orbed splendor, and poured its flood Of
silvery beams over the verge of the
horizon, as the party started. With
hearts as buoyant as air, and eyes
sparkling with the lovG9light that
flashed up from Joyous hearts, they
rolled along the dusty street and road,
making the welkin ring with their
songs of pure delight.
Reaching the residence of Mr. Stokes
they aIighted and rushed in upon the
old folks like an embassy of Fairies
and attending guards. They were OF
course we'll received, and shared the
hoopitalities of Mr.. and Mrs. Stokes to
their greatest satisfaction. To say
they enjoyed themselves is the greatest
economy in describing the affair. The
young ladies' hearts may, by this time,
be quieted down to the normal beat,
but there renlaius eveu yet smile on
the faces of the young men which a
long week of clerical aud other duties
have not obliterated. One Of the
brave, noble aud susceptible young
gentlemen is reported to have said
In somnolent soliloquy that since that
romantic evening there has been moth.
| ing between his crown and heaven
save space. AS to the others, the
echoes are still felt trembling along the
teuder chord, of their agitated aud
/ f1uttefing hearts.

U. P. REORGANIZATION.

At conference of the securityholdcrs
and the representatives of the United
States governments interests in the Tn
ion Pacific railroad in New York. last
week, reorganization committee WAS APP
pointed. The following have been named
and have consented to serve: Senator
Calvin $. Brice, chairman, General Louis
Fitzgerald, {. NJ. Dodge, y. :. Boissc-
vain, 7. l.. lIigginson and Samuel Carr.
One or two others will be appointed.
The successful reorganization OF this
road means great deal to the whole
country. As convincing proof OF the
assertion we quote the opinion OF Henry
Clcws, the New York broker, than whom
there is no better authority. After COM
mcnding the personnel OF the committee
he remarked
The reorganization of the Union Pa
citic, in which Il settlement with the gov
eminent will form part, will be an inn
portant factor in Wall street. no less than
the settlement OF the West Shore in 1888,
which at that time started the boom in
Wall Street. a successful reorganization
OF the Union Pacific will return confidence
to Il marked degree to all roads that have
the word Pacific" attached to them,
which includes the Missouri Pacific, the
Northern Pacific the Kansas Pacific and
the Texas Pacific, and will restore to credit
over $l00,000,000 securities. which for
some time past have been under Il most
serious cloud
Not only in Wall street will this restor-
alton of credit be felt, but indirectly in
every Village and hamlet in the county.
With the return OF the incomes to the
thousands OF stock and sccIrity-holders
will come the ability to purchase and to
give employment. With the stoppage OF
interests and dividends many small
holder has been either pinched ior the
necessities OF life or compelled to draw on
his savings bank reserve. with the re-
suit in both instances OF odding to the
prevailing distress. And so we hail this
another evidence among the many OF the
returning prosperity.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The tariff measure which the Demo-
cratic members OF the ways and means
committee have been working ON for the
past three months has been submitted to
the full committee. and its general feat
ures are known. Taey have redeemed
the pledge for free raw material, and have
equalized the duties SO as to bear least
heavily upon the poor and those in mod
crate circumstances. Reductions have
been made in manufactured articles to
correspond with the saving in cost by
reason of free raw materials. BY this
reduction in cost our manufacturers are
the better able to compete in foreign mar
kets, and thus in L position TO give en-
plovment to more wOrkmcn.
To Il great extent al valorem duties
have been substituted Tor specific
duties. which is an advantage 70 the
masses. This is illustrated by reference TO
the wool schedule. where. with free raw
material the specific or compensatory
duties are taken off, Under the old svs-
TEN the rate on clothes. shlwls. knit
goods, etc. is from g. per cent on costly
goods to lao per cent OH cheaper. This
is reduced and cQualized 10y making it 10
per cent on all. This may he better un.
derstood by instancing specific duty OF
$40 on shawls valued at from $3.50 to SO
at the port OF entry. when it is
readily seen that the lower priced
article is compelled to bear much
greater burden OF taxation than the high
err priced article. which is maniies,ly un.
just, ii any thing i. should be the other
way.
There is not much doubt but that the
bill will be passed substantially is sub
mittei. and manufacturers now have i
basis upon which 10 work The unce,-
taintv us to the character OF the proposed
legislation having been removed business
will naturally improve. Capital which is
now locked up will begin seeking invest
ment, and before the first year al the
present administration has passed 10y the
wheels Of propre>s Will be turning with
their accustomed lapiditv.
