TALKED TO VOTERS.
Auditor Campbell of the 6. & N.
Spouted Thursday Evening.

Spouted Thursday Evening.
In the neighborhood of 100 people
attended the railroad meeting at the
opera house last Thursday evening.
The meeting was called to order by
President H. A. Baldwin of the
board of trade, who at once intro
duced Auditor Campbell of the Gulf
& Manitoba railroad, and that
gentleman proceeded to outline the
benefits to be derived from getting
north and south road through this
county and city.
Mr. Campbell took fall out OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission
during the early portion of his talk.
He contended that the commission
had always been and was now an
engine for high rates-that it was
perpetuating those rates, and that
it had never done anything but to
keep up rates. He regretted having
to say it, but nevertheless it was a
fact, and could be proven in the
commission S own actions.
1t was during this somewhat ex-
tended attack on the commission
that Mr. Campbell told the audience
that he had only recently visited
big packing house at Boone, Iowa
a house costing nearly $4,000. It
was closed, and he told why it was
closed. Phil. Armour of Chicago
had told the Northwestern railroad
company that if it did not close this
packing house the Northwestern
was not to have a single piece of the
immense provision freight shipped
from Armour's Omaha and Chicago
packing houses. The result was
that the North western increased it's
rate for hauling goods from Boone,
Iowa, and eventually drove the
Boone packing house out of business,
and in the increased rate it was
sustained by the interstate COM
merce commission.
Mr.. Campbell then called atten-
ton to the big boycott that had
been and was now going on on the
Pittsburg, Gulf & Kansas City rail
road, simply because that railroad
was injuring the business of the
east and west lines. He pointed to
the fact that the Gulf railroad was
carrying freight from New York to
Port Arthur and Galveston and then
up to St. Louis, Mo-, for 80 cents
per 100, where the east and west
lines were charging $1.6O for haul
ing the same weight. The Gulf line
meant ruin to the business of the
east and west lines, so far as the
long haul was concerned, and the
latter roads were now engaged in
attempting to boycott the Gulf line
into raising the rate.
| The speaker had charts of the
Gulf line, as we'll as the proposed
connections, with him, and he used
them in his talk. He said that the
Gulf & Manitoba would surely be
connected with the Pittsburg,
Gulf & Kansas City road on the
south and Duluth on the north
before four years passed away, apd
he then pointed to the benefits al
ready cited by this paper, which
must accrue to the country through
which the Gulf road passed. It
would be an engine for not only
lower rates for goods from the
Atlantic coast, but also for better
prices to the farmer who has
produce to ship either north or
south-the markets to the world
lying on the south at Galveston and
on the north at Duluth.
| Mr.. Campbell was listened to
with rapt attention, and he was con-
VincinC in his arguments

The ENIGMA SOLVED.

The solution of the numerical enigma
published in THE GAZETTE of last week
was first handed into this office about
o'clock Thursday morning, the solver
being Tracy G. Ferris, the same boy
who made up the word square in the
preceding issue of The GAZETTE. Ten
minutes later Miss May Birch, sister OF
DR.. F. w. Birch, who is visiting with
the latter, handed the famous saying
Of Ben. Franklin, from which the
numerical enigma was taken, but failed
to give the words. The solution follows.

hang together we shall all hang separately"
Solvers of future enigmas or puzzles
should bear in mind that they must
solve the problems themselves, and not
be aided by parents or people over the
age given. Two or more children
under the age may work together and

MICHIGAN CLERGYMEN ACT.

The Congregational, Presbyterian, Bap-
tiss, Methodist, Lutheran ard Christian
clergymen of the town of Ann Arbor,
Mich, met together recently,. discussed
their obligations in the matter OF marry
ing couples unknown to them or who
came requesting remarriage' when di
vorced. They decided that only where
the persons applying for marriage could
produce evidence that the divorce was
granted on scriptnral grounds, would they
marry the unoffending party to a divorce,
and as for strangers party to a divorce
seeking marriage from them they said
would have nothing to do with them.
Their compact was tested last week, and
a divorced woman and her prospective
husband went the rounds OF The town
vaiply seeking for a clergyman to marry
them. This is new form Of local option
and church unity combined which de
serves TO be initiated; and the trades union
aspect of it is not without merit, inasmuch
as each man knows that his virtue is not

WEDN ESDAY, JULY 26, 1899.

Assistant Secretary Nanderlipp, of
the treasury, thinks that the Dewey
home fund, which now amounts to
about 5000, contributed by more
than %, 600 persons, will be swelled to
at least sl00, 900 by the time the ad-
miral reaches the United States. He
thinks there are quite number of
persons who will soon make large
contributions. Treasurer Roberts and
other members of the committee are

The Marriage of Divorces.
WEST BROWNSVILLE, July 20. 1859.
To the Editor of The american:

To the Editor Of The american:
The fool ciergymen down in Hancock
who have agreed not TO ofFciate at the
marriage of divorced people are uuwit-
tingly surrendering fees to justices and
notaries, who can tie the knot quite as
legally il not as gracefully as the clergy
man Bridgetor Journal.
The fools will not be all dead wisn these
cFergymen die. The resolution presented
to the Hansock association OF ministers
was to the effect that in view OF the then
recent shameless marriage of New York
woman in the afternoon OF the same day
q her being divorced in the morning, an
act nnwittingly perforraed by a Clergyman,
the members of this association would, by
careful consideration ard faithful investi-
themselves for marriage be worthy of the
rite bafore they would administer it.
This resolution vas argued and laid on
the table for future consideration. l. was
not passed. Some laundering reporter
sent it to his paper a. passed, and some
fool paper published it without knowing
or caring that it was an sntruth, and
other fool papers have copied it and clrc9.
lated it far and wide as fact, until nov
this blessed Bridgeton Journal has come
to the conclusion that the Congregations,
clergymen OF Hancock county are fools;
for what?-fcr doing what they thought it
best not to DO. and did rot do. "Sutor

The delay in the building of the
station at Washington Junction sug-
gests the hope that after all the sta
ton may finally be located here in
Ellsworth. The failure of the citizens
of this city to bring this about while
the road was building was unfortun-
ate, and if, even at this late day, the
change can be made, it would surely
be greatly to the advantage of the
city to have it done. There is some
reason to believe that the officials of
both roads would cooperate with the
city in bringing it about.

In selecting Elihu Root, of New
York, to succeed Gen. A!ger as secre-
tary of war, President Mckinley has
added another to the long list OF ap-
pointments he has made that even his
opponents cannot criticize. Mr..
Roots reputation as lawyer stands
second TO that of no man in the coun-
try, and it was tor that reason he
was chosen. President Mckinley
wanted the best lawyer ne could find
at the head of the war department, to
handle the legal questions that are
constantly arising in connection with
the military government OF our 'new
possessions, and which are likely to
be still more numerous and more com
plicated in the near future, He will
get him in Mr. Root. NJ change in
the Philippine policy is foreshadowed
by the change in the head of the Wal
department.

President Mckinley has too much

President Mckinley has too much
confidence in American and English
common sense to share the fears ex-
pressed in some quarters, that the
failure to agree on a boundary line be
tween Alaska and Canada, which
seems likely to result from Canada's
attitude, willresul in any break of the
pleasant relations between the United
States and Great Britain. He realizes
that the failure to agree will be the
cause of considerable irritation, and
possibly of some disturbances in the
disputed territory, but does not be-
heve that il will dangerously involve
the two governments.
