STORIES OF "SUNSET" COX,
Witty Resolution Offered During a
Debate on the Tariff.

Witty Resolution Offered During a
Debate on the Tariff.
Cox was an uncompromising free
trader and one of the most interesting
figures to congress. A graduate Of
Brown. he had first taken part in
public life as the editor of the States
man of Columbus, o. Here at the
very start he earned his sobriquet of
Sunset Cox by an editorial, which
went all over the country, "A Great
Old Sunset" it was called. It opened,
What stormful sunset was that OF
last night! How glorious the storm
and how splendid the setting Of the
sum-"
His popularity sent him to congress
in 1857. In 1866 he removed to New
York city, which at once sent him
back to congress as one Of it's repre-
sentatives. The spirit and wit Cox
could infuse into a tariff debate can
only be understood by reading the
Congressional Record. Perhaps his
most successful sally at his opponents
in this congress was his resolutions
against free sunshine-made when
there was fight on against lowering
the duty on coal:
"Resolved, That all windows, sky
lights, inside and outside shutters,
curtains and blinds shall be perma~
nently closed, as also all openings,
chinks, clefts and assures through
which the light and heat OF the sun
have been allowed to enter houses to
the prejudice and injury of meritori-
Gus miners and dealers in gas coal to
protect domestic Industry
For the sun is a foreigner" ex-
planned Mr.. Cox. HE comes from
abroad and we must shut out out
light of the sun in order to crafty
these Pennsylvania gentlemen who
have a monopoly of this article Of
coa].'- American Magazine.

TO the Editor.
Dear Sir,
! willingly give you the result of my
four and a half years experience in
the District Of Saltcoats
Previous to coming here farmed in
Baldwin, St. Croix County, Wisconsin,

the Canadian Northwest, I decided
to take trip there and see the coun-
try for myself. was so impressed
with the richness Of the soil that l
bought half a section of land about
five miles from the town of Saltcoats
I moved on to the land the following
June and that year broke so acres,
which cropped in 1904, and had SO
bushels wheat per acre. In 1905, with
an acreage OF $50 acres, had 24 bush
els wheat and IS bushels of oats per
acre. In 1906, with LIS acres under
crop, had % bushels wheat and IS
bushels OF oats per acre.
From the above mentioned Yields
you can readily understand that am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. Of course, have had to work
hard, but I don't mind that when !
get such a good return for my labor
To anyone thinking about coming to
this country I can truthfully say that
If they are prepared to work and not
grumble at trifes, they are bound to
get on. Some things l would like diff.
ferent, but take the country all round

MONEY BACK TO CHINA.

The REIMBURSEMENT by the United

that ought to be appreciated by the
rulers nf that country, and the people.

The fact is that the indemnities exRoted

actual losses, but also to punish China
for the disorders of the insurga rents. The
rebate will amount to about $4,000 600.

after canceling the Indebtedness is to
be refunded. Perhaps other govern

This is not the first time the United

AN OMNIBUS Sign.

When the Salt Lake Tribune lifts It's

The question naturally arises, What
are the conditions now since more

spending money recklessly. 1t gives
that party credit for almost every

what has been accomplished except by

as the greater part of these walks were
laid before the cousplrators had sue
ceeded in creating a so-called Amer

the sidewalks, payings. and sewers are
largely, If not entirely. paid for by
special taxes, the reference to these
improvements is far from satisfactory
