The Latest Railroad News.

Winston Bros. of Minneapolis have
the contract for grading the North
western line from here to Princeton.
They have Sub-let the work from this
place to the -Four Mile Creek locality
to A. W. Rylander of st. Paul who
has been in the city for the past 10
days, waiting most of the time for
men and material to arrive to begin
work. In the meantime the timber
and brush along the right of way
between Grand Rapids and Four
Mile Creek was being cut and removed
to be out of the way of the graders
A large force of graders and material
arrived Monday and were Immediately
dispatched to Four Mile. Creek where
the work of grading was begun.
+ MesSrS. Wombledorf and Lee of
Chicago, the bridge engineers, are
still surveying and drawing plans for
this point, and the bridge will be
begun in the near future. The bridge
will be over a quarter Of a mile long
and will consist of 10 piers and nine
spans. Material is arriving here
every day over the Green Bay road
for this work.
OpUlOllS Oh UIle flSllb OF way between
here and NekooSa are all taken and
most of this work between here and
Marshtield is completed. Some still
think that the Northwestern will yet
buy the M. & S. E. road. We saw
W. A. Scott, president of the latter
road Tuesday but he was extremely
nOn-cOmmittal 'on the subject. The
Northwestern work here indicates
rather that negotiations between the
two roads are at an end.

Tie Improvement OF rivers ana harpors IN
the south, followed by the construction of
much larger ships for the carriage of south
ern export products, and the consequent re
ductlon in freight rates and increase in d.
rect returns to the producers, have been OBJ
ject lessons of immense value to the south
ern business men, and the fact is slowly
dawning upon those whom they send to
congress to represent them. No longer is
there opposition in the south to the i'm
provement Of rivers and harbors; indeed,
there is more money likely to 60 into the
improvement of the great seaports of the
south, and especially Of the gulf, and it's
tributary streams, than into the north The
direct BENEFITS from this have been felt in
every hsml.t, village and city in the south,
whether located upon a navieable stream
or net.
So, too, it is beginning to be felt through
out the south that the construction of the
Nicaragua canal will be an undertaking Of
the most far-reaching benefit to the south,
and the people Of that section are begn-
ming to appreciate the wisdom Of Senator
AsAoi gan NdlIduI lSHI IOI tadt great water
way. The spending Of $50, 900. 900, or even
e20o, 900 900, for the construction Of the Nj
caragua canal, it is beginning to be believed
throughout the south, will have benefit
each year, upon the increased markets
abroad for their surplus products that will
repay them, and the nation, too, each year
for the total sum of the expenditure
And, with these thoughts crowding one
another upon the southern mind, it is quite
easy and logical for southerners to appreci-
ate the value of ships of our own, doing our
cwn foreign carrying, and keeping the who:e
of the 75,000,0 900 at home that is now spent
every year for ocean freights that are paid to
foreign ship owners, and by them taken from
the country, to the loss of our national
wealth, to the deprivation of cur own peo-
pie Of employment, and to the strengthen
ing Of the auxiliary naval resources Of our
foreign rivals. In these circumstances the
expenditure Of $4,000, 5000 a year to gave
from sl75 200, 900 to $3.50, 600 coo year is not
proposition ether to brighten the average
American citizen or call forth his protest.
In fact, the demand for just this kind of
thing is becoming quite unanimous among
the business men of the country, south,
west, north and east.

Change Their Name.

AS stated in another column the
Centralla Lumber Co. has changed it's
name to Kellogg Bros. Lumber COM
pany. Undoubtedly this is wise
move as the stock of the Centralia
Lumber Co, has long been owned by
the Kellogg Bros. and they now pro-
pose to identify their name with their
increasing business.
The personnel of the company
remains the same-W. +. kellogg as
president will attend to the wholesale
department and buying of lumber.
and G. f. Kellogg as treasurer will
manage the retail yards of the
company. The boys make a strong
team as each one is especially adapted
to fill his respective position in the
business. ....-.

Ex-senator Hanna is quoted as saying that
his mail contains each day a number of re-
quests, ranging between half dozen and
a dozen, from students in the high schools
and colleges and universities, for copies Of
his and other speeches on both sides of the
shipping question: in order that members Of
debating teams may familiarize them
selves with the arguments pro and con. The
now throughout the country, and the results
of these debates, almost invariably fsvoring
subsidies, are extremely gratifying to sena-
tor Hanna

DFew people are aware that at a very
recent debate between two strong teams,
one representing Columbia university, Of
New York, and the other representing the
University of Pennsylvania, on the question
of paying subsidies to American ships, the
former taking the negative and the latter
the affirmative of the proposition, the Penn
sylvanians won, and this notwithstanding
the fact that the three judges were free
traders and democrats, one being very dis
tinguished exUnited States senator from
Delaware.

Wednesday morning the principal
dailies OF the land contained the sig
nifcant heading "The queen is dead;
Long live the king" This referred tC
the death Of Queen Victoria of
England who passed from life at
about O'Clock Tuesday evening.
Because of her long reign, motherly
character and inoffensive disposition
this sovereign was greatly beloved by
the English people, and for the same
reasons the people of other lands held
her in high esteem. She was not a
ruler in the generally accepted mean
ing of that term, and during her long
reign, had but little if anything to dc
in shaping the policy of the English
government. The Prince of Wales,
under the title of King Edward VII
will succeed her, but those who look
for any great change in the English
government, because CT this change in
the sovereign head, we believe will be
disappointed.

''...I.').l TIE SUBSIDY BILL.
Der 2crats Who Will Support the
Leasure to Build Up Amer
lean Shipping.
GROWING SENTIMENT IN TIE SOUTH
Improvement of Rivers and Harbors
and the Construction of Larger
Ships Viewed with Approx al by
, Producers and Business Men.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, Jan %
When the opponents Of the shipping bill
came to be finally counted, during the clos
ing days of the debate on the, army bill in
the senate, the fact was uncovered that
few influential republicans were among
them. These men had certain notions that
the bill was inequitable in its provisions, and
they had been in the habit OF meeting and
comparing notes and assuring each other
that their suspicious were well grounded.
Finally, however, these objections were
brought to light, and, when that was accom-
plished, and the friends of the bill were
given chance to discuss these objections,
their apparent force melted away ike snow
under a summer sun. The result has been
that a few amendments have been agreed to
IN the bill that cover every possible point
of doubt on the republican side, and they
are now all united in the senate in favor
of the bill as it stands.
When a vote is reached on the shipping
bill there will be disagreeable revelation
to the democrats of a few Of their own
members who will support it. Not less than
half dozen democrats have, one way and
another, indicated that they may be relied
upon to support and to vote for the bill, and
they explain, too, that this Is, largely, In
obedience to urgent requests from their con-
stituents. Nowhere in this country is this
more in evidence than in the south, where,
hitherto. opposition has been so general to
all forms of government aid; at least on the
part Of tie Statesmen representing southern
constituencies, as TO have caused feeling
OF despair at times among their more pro
gressive and up-to-date colleagues from the
north and west

The Chinese minister to this country
has been of late doing much lecturing
in the principal cities of the United
States, In recent interview he gave
utterance to an opinion that will
attract much attention among those
who devote some thought to sociolOgic
questions, particularly to the future
of the negro race in this country. He
thinks simple, and the only true
solution of the negro question in this
country, is the inter-marriage of the
white and black population. Minister
WI oyerlOOkS century of the uglieSt
kind of prejudice in his fancied solu-
tion of the question. Yet his scheme
is not SO impracticable as at first
thought one might suppose. ObServ-
ant persons who have travelled much
in the black districts declare that the
complexion of the population is
gradually improving in color from a
white standpoint, and that too, with
out any great amount of inter
marriage. They say there are no more
"blue-black niggers'' in the south, and
that even the woody pate of the
original African is rapidly disap-
pearing.

steel shelving, boxes and drawers in
the vaults of the various officers. The
county treasurer and clerk of the
district court each get complete new
set, while additional shelving and
drawers were added to the offices of
the county clerk and register of deeds.
There are quite number of handy

In commenting upon the succession
of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales,
to the throne of England, the Chicago
Tribune says eGitorially albert
Edwards success as King will
depend upon how much he has learned
during the last twenty-five or thirty
years" Without any great preten-
tions to knowledge Of the subject, we
should like to make the statement
that success as a king does not
depend upon the knowledge, wisdom
or virtue Of the person possessing this
title, but upon the power that
they enjoy. Well-informed people
will readily admit that Henry
the Eighth was something of a sue
cess as king, and yet he was more
noted for chopping off his wives heads,
than he was for his virtue, learning
or wisdom. Louis the 14th of France
attained some nOtariety as a king,
and we should say was quite success
full, but if his splendid ability to
squander millions on himself and his
favoritieS was not more conspicuous
than his wisdom and virtue then we
have read history foggily. The
greater the success of Albert Edward
as king of England. the worse it would
be for that country. Where the
kingly prerogatives shine the brightest
the more unhappy the people. The
liberty and happiness of the English
people depended more upon the fact
that the crown was ShOrn of all it's
powers for mischief, than upon the
wisdom and virtue of his illustrious
mother.

ing 1t necessary to cut out about $50
per month to keep within the lines.
The list Of officers was read from SUI

them seemed to be overpaid, so the
salaries were left as in the past. A
