Senator McLaurin of South Caro-.

the country by the speech which be
recently delivered before the South

league, Tillman, has honored him
with a bitter attack, and moss back
Democratic papers, south and north,
have taken up the cudgel. Such pa
triotic sentiments as the following in
Mr.. McLaurin 5 speech are especially
obnoxious TO Tillmau and his Demo
cratic followers:
ITO my mind it is folly to oppose
expansion under the name of impe-
rialism. 1t deceives no man of intel
ligence. He understands there is no
analogy between this country and
the Roman empire and that those who
talk Of Imperialism do not take into
account that power which is born OF
our free institutions, a fortress in the
hearts of our people stronger than
ever built of stone. As long as this
is there they can never become

empire, they become an easy prey.
The people make the government;
why should we be afraid to trust our
selves? With brave, strong, intel

popular education, there can be no
Imperialism.
TO show discomfort with indus
trial conditions and diStruSt of the
governing power, to array class
against class in the hope of securing
fancied social industrial equality is.

II remember" says Uncle Ezekiel
when boy that Uncle Josie Johnson.
while out cunning one day, got tired
and sat down by a large pine tree in
the Big Cove and fell asleep, but was
awakened by noise and on looking
down at his feet saw a large rattle
snake. Putting up his gun. he was
about to shoot when he saw a fine deer
about eight feet in front of him. He
then took aim at the deer, when sud
denly he heard great futtering over
head. and. looking up, he saw a large
flock of wild turkeys. He no sooner
saw them than he heard another noise
in the bushes at bis right. and. looking
round, he saw big bear gazing at him.
Fearing that he was about to be de
voured. he shot at the deer, when the
gun busted.
The bullet killed the deer. the lock
fell down the rattlers throat and chok-
ed him TO death. the barrels shot up In
to the air and killed the wild turkeys
the stock killed the bear by striking
him between the eyes. and the concus-
sion threw Uncle Josie back ward.
IVY hen he landed on his back in the
middle OF brush heap. be found he
had killed 40 rabbits. Ii took a two
horse team to cart the game home

THE c. R. & N.
Some Hints as to What Its
Construction is COSTING.

While some people here are dis
posed to think the G. +. Il NJ. cost
US a good big sum of money, few
realize the tremendous expense which
the coming here of that road has been
to the company. Their work has been
done in the most perfect way known
| to modern railroad building and
| nothing has been sighted. 1t has
been built for all time, and this in
the face of tremendous difficulties. A
correspondent of the Hamilton News
who has been over the road recently
says that Ito a person who travels
over the road the only wonder to him
| is that the road was ever built into
| Richmond at all. Richmond is a hol-
low compared with the surrounding
country and to get out of town, either
north or south, means steady up
grade and cuts through hills and
costly trestles. This is what costs
money in railroad construction, and
it would not be too high figure TO
place the cost of getting the road
ready for the ties, including the eX
pensive bridge over Whitewater, at
$500, 900.
The distance from Cottage Grove
to Richmond is eighteen miles. There
were IS, 900 ties used at cost of 40
cents each, total of $l9, 200 There
were 6, 800 steel rails used, weighing
30 pounds to the yard, or 700 pounds
St Steel si costing os ta5 St ae ions tons n9t
include the cost of fish plates, spikes,
bolts, or any of the trestle work,
which would bring the cost up to over
Sl60, 900 in addition to preparing the
road bed and bridges -the cost OF
grading and constructing. Thus for
our subsidy, in addition to getting
the road, which we needed beyond a
doubt, we get a permanent improve
ment Of some 5000, 900; and this will
pay taxes a'so in the near future.

ing permanent edifices and accommoda-
tions for human beings-in the territory
of Nebraska, in November, 1854. Even
the Masonic fraternity recognized this
fact by going there to install their first
lodge and to initiate Colonel Sarpy at
the old trading post. And when it came
to social functions Bellevue was the
belle of the Missouri valley. Councils
with the Indians and social entertain.
ments for the white people were a
speciality with Colonel Sarpy, and a
square meal, well-cooked, and made up
of something else than pork, hot bread
and black coffee, was a most alluring
and exceedingly rare felicity in those
days of our first autumn on the west
bank of the Missouri. Therefore when
an invitation to dine at the trading post
came the recipient could not be re-
strained from it's acceptance by any
ordinary appliances, obstacles or threats.
The CONSERVATIVE calls to mind, from
down the long avenue of forty five
years, one of those primitive dinners
and the guests who sat about the we'll
filled table.
Among them was the first chief justice
of the territory of Nebraska, Fenner
Ferguson. He was
native Of New
York. He was, by President Pierce,
appointed chief justice of Nebraska from
Albion, Michigan, where he had an
enviable reputation as man and citizen
of irreproachable character and a lawyer
of learning and honesty. He was about
forty years of age, six feet in height,
we'll -proportioned and possessed of a
most agreeable expression of face and
features. His eyes were blue, his COM
plexion fair and his hair light brown.
He was genial and agreeable; no one
enjoyed the amenities of social life more
and no one could contribute more to the
enjoyment of others than Judge
Ferguson.
Next to him sat Addison r. Gilmore,
the first superintendent of the Chicago
| and Rock Island
~ " Railroad, when the
western terminus of that line was at
Rock Island. Colonel Gilmore became
the first receiver of the first United
States land Office which was established
and opened at Omaha in April, 1857. He
was q most affable, genial and agree.
able gentleman. He wrote q most
legible and uniform hand and was
