Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1895-01-17

Following is Governor Upham's first
message delivered to the legislature of
Wisconsin, Thursday, January 10:
TO the Honorable the Legislature
II becomes my duty at this time, as
the executive Of the state, to briefly
review the condition of state affairs
and to submit to you such recommen-
dations as seem to me to be called for.
You are assembled under conditions
which are unique in the history of the
state and nation. The country has
been subjected to one Of the most dis
astrous financial disturbances ever
known; yet such are the recuperatiye
qualities of the American people that
from the very depths of financial dis
aster they are emerging hopeful and
courageous.
Our own state has suffered less, per-
haps, than many others. We have
reason to be thankful to the Provi-
dence which has shaped our affairs
and allotted to us such a diversity of
nat!onalities and SO great variety
of resources, that no ordinary disaster
can seriously disturb our financial or
social economy. We have reason, also,
to be grateful that our state has been
SO free from dangerous epidemics; and
exempt from those manifestations of
lawlessneSs which have distressed
other states. We may well be proud
of our varied and enormous resources.
In them the people have rich heri-
tage when it becomes your duty to so
husband by wise legislation chat it
may be transmitted unimpalred to
future generations.
There will be submitted to you detail
reports of the various departments
of the state government and the insti-
tutions und,r their charge. These, Il
doubt not, will receive your careful
attention

OOuc1USlOn.
In conclusion permit me to express
the hope that the session now opening
may be characterized throughout by
sincere regard for the public interest.
Economy may well be the watchword
OF the servants OF commonwealth 80
well endowed with material resources
as ours; but 1t ~ d true economy
which the people desire; and economy
which tends rather to wise expendi-
ture OF public funds than to Mig
gardly provision for those purposes
which a high conception Of the public
welfare demands. Every avenue OF
expenditure should be carefully scru-
tlnized. Every department OF the
state government should be watched
with Jealous eye. Unnecessary and
superfuous offices In all departments
should be abolished, and no new Of
fees should be created for which there
is not an unmistakable demand In the
interest OF the public service. The
session should he as short and as ex-
peditious as Is compatible with an
honest and thorough consideration OF
the measures which shall come before
you In all your efforts to advance
the moral and material welfare Of the
people OF the state You will have. as
sure you, my hearty cooperation.

To Montana. and tlTcse 10 be shipped mex,

do not have very much difficulty in Sc
curing the eggs, although We had 10 look
fer them IN this county and also in Thurs

dozen FOR them These shipments will
have tendency to Increase interest in
chicken ranches and Il will also show
10 the egg consuming districts outside
OF the state that we are in a position to
sAsp eggs on short notice. Heretofore
large quantities af eggs have been shin

SEATTLE. WEDNESDAY. FEB. ~.
THE MEAT EMBARGO.

One dangerous thing about the exciu-
sion of our meat ands cattle from
France. Germany and Belgium Is the
impetus that will be given TO the cattle
industry abroad before the differenuai
sugar duty of the Havemeyer tariff law
can be repealed by Republican con-
gress. France lis already getting meat
from Madagascar, and Russia expects
Ia have cattle To sell from the vast
plains of Siberia. The higher price OF
meat will encourage the European
cattle growers to restore the industry,
which has fallen into decay.
The prospect OF passing the sugar DIFF
ferentiai bill Is very poor. The senate
has Wednesday. Thursday. Friday,
Saturday. Sunday. and uatiI noon Mon
day. Even should all this time not be
required for the appropriation bills. the
sugar bill could BE- defeated. under the
antiquated rules of the senate. by the
fillbustefinE of the senators from
Louisiana There Ii no doubt whatever
that the next congress Will revise the
sugar tariff. but by next December
Europe will have begun To get beef
from other countries than the United
Sfates.

Higgins made their first journey up the
Fraser river to Yale in August. 1855.
Capt. Power. Mr.. Higgins. the late Lieut.. :
Governor Nelson and John Kurfz, there
formed . friendship which lasted through
life. Mr.. Higgins. the youngest Of the quar-
tette, being the only one now alive. Ar
rived at Yale, Capt. Power went into the
restaurant business. In which he fairly
coined money. His genial disposition
made him many friends, and though slow
to anger. story is told of his adzninis-
tering a tremendous licking to Big Jim.
butcher and the bully OF Yale. who
had finally wearied out the captain
patience by his hectoring ways. About
the year 1850 Capt. Power secured con-
tracts to build trau over part of what
has since become the Yale wagon road.
Finally. in 1856. he had made his pile, .
and left for New York. There he made
moro money IN financial operations. He
afterwards went to Peru and engaged in
railway building. His luck finally desert
ing him, he lost all his money and re-
turned to British Columbia about the
year 1850. His old friend Mr.. Nelson had
then . chance or reciprocating q good
turn which Capt. Power had done him
years before, and did So In the early
sixties Nelson & Dietz ran an express
business, an important part OF their work
beng to ship to Victoria the gold dust
entrusted to their care by the miners.
One day a messenger OF the firm was in
the act Of handing aboard the steamer
at Yale a bag containing several thou
sand dollars In dust" when by some
mischance the bag fell into the Fraser
and that was the hast OF 1t. Capt. Power,
who was then In Yale. at once announced
that he was prepared to pay up everyone
who had receipt from the express COM
pany for the gold. and was as good as
his word. The express company was per-
fectiy solvent. and paid him back. but
Mr.. Nelson never forgot Capt. Powers
kindly action. Thus 1t was that he re-
ciprocated In 1850. Capt Power again
gradually came 10 the front and finally
became Interested in the lumber mills

Defect In Thompson's Famous Poem
New York Sun

New York Sun.
We find In the Argonaut letter from
Mr.. VIII III. Thompson. author OF the
noble poem. The High Tide at Gcttys-
burg which has recently received 50
much attention in the press.
Mr.. Thompson. who Is now living In Sc
attic. complains that In their publica-
TONS some Of the newspapers have omit
ted two ssanzas from his poem, and one
OF them We here print again:
Brave Tennessee. In reckless way
Virginia heard her comrade say:
Close round this rent and riddlef rag!
What time she set her battle flag
Amid the guns of Doubleday"
1t is curious that the stanza which Mr..
Thompscn thus restores embraces the
only fault OF English wasch we have
found in the whole production; ami this
fayk is SO gross that when three or four
years ago we first copied the poem in the
Sun. we supposed that II was tire result
Of a misprint or of carelessness. and IN
dertook 10 correct Ii. ''In reckless way
- an imperfect phrase that repels rather
than satisfies the critical reader. Ii should
be in reckless way" or In this reck-
less way" or Reckless the way" or
something OF that sort. Some additional
word or some new construction is nee
cessary To- fiji out the sense. We know
that this blunder Is common enough Will,
cogranon2iace Writer'S. bur il is very rarely
found In the poetry OF men endowed with
the high imagination and genius OF AIR.
