kGood Country Road.

The finest country road, showing
without doubt the best farms in the
county, is the stretch of about a
mile on the east and west road four
miles north of Durand that takes in
the farms and houses Of Bert Collins,
b. w. Calkins, Charles Long and
Washington Bingham. The road it.
self is as smooth as a race track, as
clean as boulevard, and is shaded
by trees. The lawns leading from the
houses TO the road are also clean
and we'll kept, as is everything about
these places mentioned. Incidentally
it might be stated that Mr.. Calkins'
residence is the finest country home
in the county.
On these farms sheep rearing and
feeding is one of the most promi-
nent factors Thousands and thous-
ands of sheep are received in this
vicinity during the course of the
year, where the best feeding meth
DDS are employed and shipments
made when the market is at its best.
This is the sheep section of the
county, the neighborhood from which
other farmers Of the county have
taken their lessons. -Durand Express.

CUTTING THE RATES.

The statement has been widely
made that the railroads will cut out
all excursion rates wherever a fiat q
cent passenger fare is put into effect
by law. This was done several months
ago in Ohio when that state adopted
the 2-cent rate, and a few weeks ago
the same action was taken in Ne
braska.
The general public would not great
ly object to this, provided good serv-
ice were given at the 2-cent rate. The
public does not ask the railroads to
do business at a loss. But the Ohio
railroads are finding that low excursion
rates will bring them in more money
than sticking to the fat 2-cent fare.
A meeting of the passenger represen-
tatives of the Lake Shore road was
held in Cleveland last week, and
summer schedule was arranged. Some
excursion rates were made which will
be even less than a cent a mile, not
withstanding previous announcements
to the contrary. The increase of bust
ness caused by low rates Is so great
that the Lake Shore does not propose
to ignore 1t. This is just what will
happen in every other "2-cent" state
whenever the railroads discover that
1t is profitable. People are undoubted-
ly tempted to travel when they think
they can do so at a bargain, and that
is what makes it profitable for rail-
roads to offer bargain rates.

A MYSTERY.

1t is hard to understand why sena-
tors, who could reasonably be suppos-
ed to have the welfare of their con-
stituents at heart, should vote with the
railroad crowd and against everything
that is for the best interests of the
people. The railroads have plenty of
money and are using it freely, and
some of these senators no doubt have
been bought But we do not believe
the majority of them could be bought
How, then, account for their actions;
is II just pure muleishness or ignor-
ance, or how do you account for it?-
Downs Times.
This comes from the Republican or
gan in the home of one of the mem
bers of the senate lodge" Senator
Harrison. 1t is, indeed. difficult to tell
why Harrison and a few other sena-
tors voted as they did. In the cases
of some members of the senate, one
can find explanations for their actions.
A few were owned, body and soul, by
the railroads. They were recognized
as railroad property and no one dis
puted the ownership. Some may be
open to the suspicion of venality. One
senator wanted an appropriation for
an institution in his town, and the
bosses are said to have served notice
on him that unless his vote was at
their service when wanted no appro-
priation would be Forthcoming. An
other senator is reported to be trying
to secure certain things for his town
from railroad company. and he was
told, according to reports. that he
must cline up" with the crowd If he
wanted anything.
But none of these explanations fit
Senator Harrison and a number of
others who voted with the lodge" as
a rule. For instance, Harrison is a
banker. prosperous and we'll thought
of by his neighbors. So are Carver
and Chapman, and Buschow. All are
bankers and well-to-do The idea that
they were corrupt is not believed
How. then, can their actions be ac-
counted for? 1t appears to be a mys-
terry to the Downs Times, and it is to
many other people. Their constitu-
ents were almost a unit in favor of the
very things they voted against in the
big legislative battles. What had they
to gain by disappearing their peo-
pie? 1t continues to be a mystery.

A WASHINGTON VIEW.

Mr.. Burton appears to hold the opin-
ion that he should have been tried in
Washington instead of St. Louis, and
he tries to create the opinion that il
he had been tried there the result would
have been different. 1t is therefore of
interest to know the Washington view
of his case, and here it is as given by
the Washington Star. the paper, by the
way, that is backing Foraker in his
fight on the president in the Browns
vile matter:
Ex-senator Burton says the Star,
will discover-probably very promptly
that the world is little interested in
discredited man. The appeal he will
make TO the public through his newspa-
per, or from the rostrum, will fall upon
dull ears. And for the reason that the
facts in his case are we'll understood.
He was not railroaded to jail. He was
not victim of a spasm of the people,
but had his day in court, including the
highest court, and was represented by
able counsel. And when sentence was
passed upon him the action was ap-
proved by press, pulpit and the world
of politics.
Mr.. Burton has prepared, and will
publish in his newspaper, what he calls
a history of his case. If he or his law
yers withheld anything of value at the
time he was trial a serious mistake
was made. If all the essential facts
were then disclosed, and Mr.. Burton has
since simply put them into new form,
he can hope for no audience of value
AS he is not writer of power, the pub
lie Is guaranteed nothing from his out
put.
THE country today is better persuad-
ed than at the time of Mr. Burton's
conviction of the wisdom of the statute
which he was punished for violating. 1t
Is nothing to the point that the law, as
has been suggested, has not at all times
been enforced; that some fish have Slip
ped through the net. The point in his
case is that Mr.. Burton did not slip
through, but was fairly taken and fair
ly dealt with. He was offender and
as such was punished. Maybe too his
fate has had an excellent effect as
warning to others. Neither he nor the
public can ever know how valuable his
conviction hcs been in that way
This mans fall provoked sort of
sy- apathy, and some of that feeling
may remain. He had risen from the
ranks in a state where only strong men
as a rule lad won He tried for the

1t is doubtful If that play, "The
