THERE has recently been issued "a
Brief History of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway Co" a little booklet
of sixteen pages, giving important facts
and dates with regard to the early his
tory and late developments of that sys-
tenn of railroad. In 1851 it owned and
operated twenty miles of road between
Milwaukee and Waukesha, and on Feb.
Is the opening of traffic to that village
was duly. celebrated. The road was
then known as. the. Milwaukee & Missis-
sippi. In 1868 the Milwaukee and st.
Paul company absorbed this and other
roads, and in, 1874 the system became
known as the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul. 1t now owns and operates 1896
miles of main track, and 1924 miles of
of second track, connecting track and
sidings, total of 1920 miles. It's growth
has been wonderful, and equaled only
by the development of the territory
through which it passes development
for which the country is largely idebted
to the railroad.

A neighboring exchange comments on
the severity Of the penalty for disturb
ing mail boxes or the contents of same
on rural routes: "A few minor depreda-
tons having been committed along the
rural mail route calls attention to the
fact that mischievious boys and malic-
ious characters should be careful about
bothering Uncle Sans mail business.
The United States postal laws are very
severe and while one person may com
NIT like offence toward another without
having to suffer for it, the postal de-
partment is not so liberal, in fact it is
not in the least charitable, and one who
bothers the mail boxes may find himself
on the road to the penitentiary after
little ceremony. One might only steal a
stamp and feel that it was only little
matter but probably there would be as
much money spent in finding the thief
as il it had teen dollars. Another i'm
portant fact is that when the govern
ment authorities commence search
they generally find the culprit, notwith-
standing he may have exercised great
care in covering up his act"

ONE of our we'll TODD farmers told us
the other day that for buying farm or
other kinds of property democratic ad-
ministration was alright, but when it
came to selling, he preferrel republican
rule. This he has found out by actual
experience, for in 1893 he bought $50
acre farm in Pleasant Springs, paying
for it some over $1,000. He went about
$4,000 into debt and had all he could do
to pay the interest during those miser-
able years when the farmers couldn'tsell
their tobacco except for 3 to 5 cents per
pound and had to keep three or four
crops unsold. With the republican vic
tory in '96 came prosperity and renewed
demand for tobacco that great mort
gage litter of this section. Instead of
getting from 3 to cents the farmers
now sold their tobacco at to 1Oc per
pound. Our farmer friend paid off the
mortgage and had some money to spare
and now recently he sold his farm for
$4,000. That's the way the farmer looked
at politics this -Stoughton Hub.

We have so cut into the trade of the
principal nations of Europe, not only in
their home markets. but in every other
quarter of the globe, that they are at
their wits ends to counterfeit our ener-
gy and enterprise Germany is so seri-
ously hurt that her political economists
are discussing the question and the rem
edies, if there are any, with exceeding
vigor and volubility that would do no
discredit to Mr.. Bryan himself. Tariff
retaliation is spoken of in Germany, but
it is admitted that Germany alone could
not enter on such contest with a ma
ton of more than 76,0OO,OOO of people,
and the cooperation of the other com
mercial nations is suggested as the best
and perhaps only plan to meet the
threatening opposition from the United
States.

The American people have voiced their
will at the polls, and by vote which
adds emphasis to their imperative man
date. They have declared that
There shall be no halt in national de-
velopment, no interference with the con-
ditions which have brought such won
drous prosperity.
There shall be no meddling with the
standard of value, no debasement of our
currency.
The flag shall not be lowered before
rebels in arms. Our dead are buried
along the sands of Luzon, and on it's soil
no foreign flag shall ever salute the
dawn"
The trust question shall be committed
for solution to the party which has shown
in the past its ability to meet new eues-
tons of constructive legislation, and to
reach that solution which best conserved
the interests of the people.
The Declaration of Independence is in
no danger because the country has ex-
banded.
Expansion is not imperialism, and the
retention of the Philippines is no more a
menace to tbs spirit of American institu-
tons than was the purchase of Louisiana
or the acquisition of Upper California
from Mexico.
The Democratic party cannot be
trusted-nor any other party which
strives to array employee against en-
ployer and to create classes in this free
republic.
Republican policies, enacted into law,
have brought prosperity to the people
extended our industries, created abund
ant revenue, and upheld the honor and
dignity of the nation. Therefore, the
party whose wisdom has been thus
proved, shall be continued in power, ano
William McKinley's commission as chic
magistrate of the republic shall be ex
tended for four years more. TOLEDO
