says that neither his own private car nor
the private cars of other officials or peo-
pie will be hauled on this train.
Thus, the transcontinental traveller is

The Northern Pacific passenger. bust

OF place that the Northern Pacific rail-

SomethtnE About a Character Whom
Lowell Satirixe0.
John p. Robinson, the subject of one
of James Russell Lowelrs Hosea Big
lows satires, was q brilliant lawyer
of the town of Lowell, a scholarly gen.
tleman and a wit. 1t is said of him
that he had read Homer's "1liad" SO
much that he could recite nearly the
whole of 1t from memory. Mr.. Robin
son was a favorite stump speaker about
the period of lS4O. He was a Wing |
and had the ambition to represent his
district in congress.
In 1912 lie received the Wing nomi-
nation for this position. 1t was q bad
year for|Whig candidates, as the Lib
erty party had then begun to present
nominees against 1t. A majority was
at that time required to elect, and
there was no choice at the regular cleo
ton. The Wing party. always timid,
feared Mr.. Robinson could not be elect
ed on further trial and induced him to
withdraw from the contest that it
might present a candidate more &C.
ceptable to the antislavery men. This
was u severe uiSuppOIulIlieu " MI.
Robinson. He became disguised with
the Wings and bitter toward the anti
slavery advocates.
A Few years later, after General Ca.
leb Gushing had been in the Mexican
q he was nominated by the Demo.
Gratis as their candidate for governor
Of Massachusetts, upon which Mr.. Rob
inson wrote IL letter declaring he should
leave the Wing party and support Gen.
eral Gushing. This induced Lowell's
poem. Governor Briggs was then the
Wing candidate for governor. and Low
ell had two refrains to his verses. The
first read:
So John p.
Robinson, he
Says he shan't vote for Governor B.
And the second:
So John p.
Robinson, he
Says be shall vote for General @.

Capt. Baker and the Tariff,

Wahpeton Globe: Capt. l. P. Baker
of Bismarck, who is the member of the
national democratic committee for North
Dakota, sen the following telegram to
the North Dakota delegation in congress
last week.
"North Dakota Wool Growers asso-
citation meeting here today, protests and
begs that you work against ratification of
Argentine treaty permitting wool i'm
portation at reduced duty. We are just
beginning to reap benefits from Dingley
bill and hope that McKinleyism will not
be modified or permit the destruction of
our industry that has increased one hun
dred per cent in the past year. Do not
permit our destruction by a republican
congress and protection president who
pledged US support"
Capt. Baker is the manager of a COM
pany that has twelve or fifteen thousand
sheep on ranches west of of the Missouri,
and he told the writer that they expect.
ed to shear more than 100000 pounds of
wool from their hocks this year, for
which they figure on receiving from FL to
% cents a pound. The reciprocity treaty
with Argentine proposes a reduction Of
two cents a pound on Argentine wool,
which would not likely affect the wool
market in this country.
Capt. Baker is a political anonomaly,
He is a strong protectionist, for sound
money, for expansion, stands by the gov
eminent in every proposition, ard yet he
is always to be found working shoulder
to shoulder with the democrats and pop
ulists who would tear down the structures
he in private life and business connec
tons would build up. A Bismarck man,
in speaking of Bakers politics said:
20, Baker is a dynamiter; he likes to
raise hell and scrap, and while he talks
republicanism and works with democrats
he keeps his eye on the main question
and votes right"

Bad for Montana Sheen men.

News from Saco, in Valley county,
Mont, is to the effect that there are now
about 10000 head of sheepin that vicin-
ity affected with scab. The discovery of
the disease at this time is unfortunate, as
it is not advisable to dip the animals, on
account of the cold, and will not be for a
month or more. A breaking out OF the
disease in the number of sheep reported
means a severe loss to the owners in the
value of the wool, not counting the ex-
traordinary expense that will be involved
in stamping out the infection. 1t is un-
derstood that the disease was brought In
to'the country by o bucks that came
from Saline, Mich. 1t has been found
that the bucks were badly infected, and
as they were bought by a number Of diff
ferent growers in various sections, the
disease has been spread over a consider
able territory.-Ex.

PLANS TO LEASE WESTERN LANDS.
Discussing Future Of Grazing
Country.

A. Helena special { o the Chicago Re-
cord of February IS, says:
There is to-dayno question more wide
ly discussed among the live stock men
Of the west than that of the leasing, by
the federal government. of the public
grazing lands of the Rocky mountain
states. With the rapidly increasing
tlocks and herds in the western states
and territories, free grazing lands will
soon be a feature of the past, and it now
remains to be seen what plans for the
leasing of the public lands will be most
feasible and most satisfactory alike to
the large grower of live stock and the
settler or small farmer.
AT the meeting of the National Live
| Stock association at Fort Worth, Texas,
there was Il sharp contest over the ques-
ton of Leasing public grazing lands, bu,
| small majority. The feeling OF the min
ority was that the leasing would be in
favor of the large owner rather than the
small one. On this subject a Colorado
stock-grower who favors the leasing sys-
tenn says:
"A mistaken idea seems to be that no
leasing system can be devised that will
not give capitalists and corporation.
greater advantages than under the pres.
ent system. Will not the same wisdom
that formed a right and fair homestead
law applicable to farming lands be equal
to the task of forming just as fair and
right a leasing law, applicable to the
drier grazing lands of our ranges?"
Before adjourning the convention at
Fort Worth appointed a committee of
ffteen-consisting of one member from
each Of the fifteen states and territories
represented this committee being en-
powered to draft a bill to be presented
to congress during its present session,
which shall open the way for the leasing
of the %unoccupied public lands Of the
west. The committee has no easy task
on its hands, for in every state and terri
tory represented there is more or less
opposition to the proposed measure.
one bill already in congress for the leas-
ing of grazing lands on the public de-
main in the Rocky mountain states, in
troduced by a member from the state of
Washington, is meeting with serious op-
position from the local stock associations
in that state.
In Montana there is a division of opin-
ion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of the federal
government leasing itslandsto stockmen.
Many who are opposed to the idea con-
tend that such a system will only retard
the settlement of the state, while others
who favor it claim that there can be no
friction between the two interests, as the
lands which would be included within the
provisions of a measure for grazing-land
leases could not from their nature be
utilized for farms. There is also a class
of stockmen who are opposed to all plans
for leasing grazing lands on the general
principle that they do not believe in pay
ing for anything which they can possibly
get without paying for.

American Opinion on the War.

The English press continues to show
great interest in the nature of American
sentiment and opinion regarding the war
in South Africa. 1t may be safely said
that the feeling of the American people
is far more friendly toward the English
people, whom they know, than toward
the Boer people, who are strangers in the
full sense. But at the same time Amer
lean feeling is far more favorable toward
the Boer cause than toward the Eng
fish cause in this particular war. There
is nothing paradoxical about this state of
mind. The people of the United States
have always been in sympathy with
English Liberals rather than with Eng
fish Tories. When the leading Liberals
are candid enough, in the face of the
wal excitement, to say plainly that Eng
land is waging an unjust and improper
war, with an unanswerable array of facts
and arguments, it is not strange that
Americans, who are outside the influence
OF the war excitement, and able, there
loIc, " lOOk Ill the SITUATION SODeflV,
should adopt as their own the opinion of
men like Morley, Bryce and Harcourt.
There is indeed much racial fellow-feel-
ing between England and the U. S.;
but it must not be supposed that the
family feeling is strong enough to blind
US to the merits of a controversy. At
least it is quite too much to suppose that
such sympathy, growing out of kinship
and the possession of a common language
and literature, would assert itself active
ly except upon occasions of magnitude.
If England were in desperate warfare
with a coalition of the great European
powers, the English blood of America
would be aroused quite irrespective of
the nature of the quarrel that had led to
the war-Just as the German blood of
America was excited to the utmost on
behalf of Germany during the Franco
Prussian co~ntest.-From "The Progress
of the World" in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for March.
