"What Hath God Wrought.w
The long life of S. F. B. Morse, the
inventor Of the magnetic telegraph is
one of almost romantic struggle and
interest. Born in 1901. he was grad
uated from Yale College at eighteen.
and having strong artistic tastes, stu.
died painting under Allston. which
he afterwards followed with success.
Returning 10 1882 from Europe. he
became much interested In a discus.
sion on electricity, and then and there
conceived the basis idea of telcgraphy,
the interval In an interrupted current
being made long or short at will. But
he did not take this up until he failed
to be awarded tho decorating OF the
capitol building at Washington.
Abandoning painting, he worked for
twelve years in poverty and amid
many discouragements, until on Feb
ruary q, 1874, congress made an ap-
preparation for an experimental line
between Baltimore and Washington.
May 2ath, the same year, the line, was
completed and the words that head
this paragraph we're sent by the inven.
tor. He rendered possible the present
railroad system Of our country, for it
could be operated in safety only bv the
aid Of the telegraph. :Telegraphic
operation and synchronized time are
what made travel so safe and speedy
on the Burlington. For tickets, rates

THE NOR, WEST.

a pcrusal of the columns OF the Ed
monitor, IN. w. IT, Times, published
by j. b. Spur, formerly Of Emerson,
gives us the idea that the worse thing
with that country is the G. p. r.
monopoly, and they are rejoicing that
the grain rate to Vancouver, their
natural market, has been reduced
from SO cents to IS cents per hundred.
But IS cents Is n pretty high freight for
wheat at present prices, and Vancou-
yer seems like going away from mar.
ket, or o long ways around.
This is exactly the great objection
to emigrating to the far northwest
at present; grant climate. soil, and
everything else equal to this locality.
it is u sclfcvident fact, that freight
rates must he more there than here,
both for what is bought and what Is
sold, and we think they are high
enough here, to leave any profit on
~ cont wheat.

Last fall John McKanc was the
political Ring Of Coney Island, N. Y.
He succeeded in registering 5000 vot-
ers out Of a total population Of 1000
people. A lawyer who was running
for judge was opposed by King Nc
Kane. This lawyer was q little sus.
picious about this immense rcgistra.
tion. He sent men to Coney Island
to copy the lists, McKane sent them
out Of town. The courts backed the
lawyer and sent orders for the judges
to show up the lists. The men who
went to serve the injunctions were ar.
rested, beaten and thrown into Jail
by McKane at the head Of the local
police. When asked why he did not
obey the injunctions he said, "to-day
we vote, tomorrow we talk" Since
that time the courts have been talk.
ing to Mr.. McKane. and the last thing
the judge said to him was ssix years
ut hard labor In Sing Sing" which
WILDE quite different from his former

There seems to be some doubt ss 10
what became Of the surplus in the
national treasury a few years ago.
The answer is simple; that Mckinley
bill, which was 90 cursed az a tax-bur.
den and tariff robber. reduced the
tariff to SO great a degree that the
revenues were cut down, until the
government had less income than out.
go, hence we had to draw ON the sur

Now our friends the democrats,
want to reduce the tariff still farther,
and the only way we will have to pay
our debts. will be-t0 borrow money.
