Sir, | might stand here for
hours and hours and expatiate
with rapture upon the gorgeous
prospects Of Duluth as depicted
upon this map. But human life
is too short and the time of this
House far too valuable to allow
me to linger longer upon the de.
llghtful theme. | think every
gentleman on this floor is as well
satisfied as | am that Duluth is
destined to become the CONNER
cial metropolis of the universe
and that this road should be built
at once.
Nevertheless, sir, it grieves my
very soul to Re compe, ID to say
that | cannot vote for the grant
of lands provided for this bill.
All! sir. you can have no con.
ception of the poignancy of my
anguish that | am deprived of
that blessed privilege! There
are two insaparable obstacles in
the way. In tbs first place, my
constituents, for whom | am act
ing here, have no move interest
in this road than they have in
the great question of culinary
taste now perhaps agitauing the
public mind of Dominica, as to
whether the luxurious commits

ened republic would be better

alas, are not mine to bestow!
My relation to them is simply
that of trustee to an express
trust. And shall | ever betray
that trust. Never, sid! Rather
perish Duluth! Perish that para
gon of cities! Rather let the
freezing cyclones of the bleak
Northwest bury it forever be-
meath the eddying sands of the
raging St. Croix!

Proctor knOtt'S Famous
Duluth" Speech.

on THE Glories Of Duluth, -
gained him a nationalreputation.
The speech was delivered in the
House of Representatives, JAN
uary 81, 1871. The House was
then considering a joint resolu-
tion extending the time to con-
struct a railroad from the ST..
Croix river to the west end of
Lake Superior. Til e speech
proved a great advertisement for
Duluth, and it was reprinted and
sent out from that city within re-
cent years, with notes to show
how Mr.. Knott s,sarcastic prophe-
sizes had come true.
With regard to the transcend
emit merits of the gigantic enter
prise contemplated in this bill. l
have never entertained the shad-
ow of a doubt.
Years ago when l first heard
that there was somewhere in the
vast terra incognita, somewhere
in the bleak regions of the great
Northwest, stream of water
known to the nomadic inhabi-
tants of the neighborhood as the
River st. Croix, | became salts
Fed that the construction of a
railroad from that raging tor
rents to some point in the civil
lied word was essential to the
happiness and prosperity of the
American people, if not absolute
ly indispensable to the perpet-
uity of the republican institu-
tions on this continent.
I felt instinctively that the
boundless resources of that pro.
life region of sand and pine
shrubbery would never be fully
developed without railroad con.
structed and equipped at the eX-
pense of the government-and
perhaps not then. | had an abid-
ing presentiment that perhaps
some day or other the people of
this whole country, irrespective
of party affiliations, regardless of
sectional prejudices, and with
out distinction of race, color or
previous condition of servitude,"
would rise in their majesty and
demand an outlet for the enor-
NOUS agricultural productions of
those vast and fertile pine bar
rens,' drained in the rainy sea-
son by the surqing waters of the
turbid St. Croix.
Who will have the hardihood to
rise in his seat on this floor and
assert that, excepting the pine
bushes. the entire region would
not produce vegetation enough in
ten years to fatten a grasshop-
per? Where is the patriot who
is willing that his country shall
incur the peril of remaining
another day without the amplest
railroad connection with such an
inexhaustiole mine of agricultur-
81 wealth?
Who will answer for the con

would rear again his horrid head
in our midst, gnash loud his iron
fangs and shake his crest of
blistling bayonets?
l was utterly at a loss to de-
termine where the terminus of
this great and indispensable road
should be until l accidentally
overheard some gentlemen the
other day mention the name of
Duluth. Duluth! The word
fell upon my ear with peculiar
and indescribable charm, like the
gentle murmur of low fountain
stealing forth in the midst of
roses, or the soft, sweet accents
of an angels whisper in the
bright, joyous dream of sleeping
innocence. Duluth! Twas the
name for which my soul had
painted for years, as the heart
panteth for the water brooks.
But where was Duluth? Never,
in all my limited reading, had
my vision been gladened by see
ing the celestial word in print.
And l felt a profound humiIia-
ton in my ignorance that its dull
Get syllables had never before
ravished my delighted ear. was
certain the craftsman of this bill
had never heard of 1t, or it would
have been designated as one of
the termini of this road.
asked my friends about it,
but they knew nothing of it. I
rushed to the library and ex-
amined all the maps l could find.
| discovered in one of them a
delicate, hair-like line, diverging
from the Mississippi near place
marked Prescott, which | sup
pose was intended to represent
the river ST. Croix, but I could
nowhere find Duluth.
Nevertheless, | was confident
that it existed somewhere, and
that it's discovery would consti-
tute the browning glory of the
present century, if not of all
modern times. | knew it was
bound to exist in the very ma
ture of things; that the symme-
try and perfection of our planeta-
ry system would be incomplete
without it; that the elements of
material nature would long since
have resolved themselves back
into hiatus in creation as would
have resulted from leaving out
Duluth. In fact, sir, | was over
whelmed with the conviction that
Duluth not only existed some
where, but that, whatever it was,
it was a great and glorious place.
If gentlemen will examine it,
they will find Duluth, not only
in the center of this map, but
represented in the center of a
series of concentic circles one
hundred miles apart, and some

miles in diameter, embracing

safety as to venture away into
those awful regions where Du.
luth is supposed to be, that it is
so axactly in the center of the
visible universe that the k y
comes down a. precisely the same
distance all around it.
Then, sir, there is the climate
of Duluth, unquestionably the
most salubrious and delightful
to be found anywhere on the
Lords earth. Now l have always
been under the impression, as l
presume other gentlemen have,
that in the region around Lake
Superior it was cold enough for
at least nine months in the year
to freeze the smokestack off a
locomotive. But l see it repre-
scented on this map that Duluth
is situated exactly half way be.
tween the ATTITUDES of Paris and
Venice, so that gentlemen who
have inhaled the exhilarating airs
of the one or basked in the gold
en- sunlight of the other may see
at a glance that Duluth must
be a place of untol delights, a
terrestrial paradise, famed by
the balmy zephyrs of an eternal
spring, clothed in the gorgeous
sheen of ever-blooming flowers,
and vocal with the silvery melody
of natures choicest songsters.
AS to the commercial resources
Of Duluth, sir, they are simply
illimitahle and inexhaustible as
shown by this map. l see it
stated here that there is a vast
scope of territory. embracing an
area of over two million square
miles, rich in every element of
material wealth, and commercial
prosperity, all tributary to Du-
luth.
And here, sir, (still pointing to
the map,) find within a con-
venien' distance the Piegan In.
dianS, Hhich, of all the many &C.
cessories to the glory of Duluth,
consider by far the most ines
timable.
And here, sir, recurring to this
man, find in the immediate vi
cinityof the Piegans "vast herds
Of buffalo" and immense fields
! of rich wheat lands"
Here you will observe point
ing to the map) are the buffaloes,
directly between the Piegans and
Duluth: and here. right on the
road to Duluth are the Creeks.
Now, sir, when the bLfaloes are
sufficiently fat from grazing on
these immese wheat fields, you
see it will be the easiest thing in
the world for the Piegans to drive
them on down, stay all night with
their friends, the Creeks, and go
into Duluth in the morning.
| think ! see them now, sir, a
vast herd of buffaloes, with their
heads down, their eyes glazing,
their nostrils dilated. ( h r

KITCHENS s1RAppLE.

An interesting situation is prom
 sed in the lower house of congress at the coming session if Claude Kitchin of North Carolina, chairman of the important ways and means committee and leader of the demo- cratic members in that body wears a double face as he promises to. De- spite the position which has been taken by the president, Congressman kitchin has come out against the plan for providing a proper defense for the country in case of war. He is strong ly opposed to militarism and in that he shares the feelings of the coun- try but his particular opposition is to the ideas which have been advanced for the building of the navy rather than what it is intended to do for the army.
 He stands in 8 double position for while he has announced that he will support administration measures as the leader of the house he will never theless as an individual give his sup port to the opposition. This attitude gives promise of some interesting re- suits. It is a hard role to play and it is beset by difficulties if he ex- poets to be faithful to the party and to himself. Leadership of that kind is not apt to amount to very much. He is not the first to try such a scheme, but if he carries 1t through he will display greater ability than his prede. cessors. It may be of little conse- quence to the country just where this particular congressman stands on the question of national defense, but for a leader to be first on one side of the fence and then on the other play ing a Dr. Jekyl and MT. Hyde act in the halls of congress promises a spec tacle which means factions and seri- GUS embarrassment, and the still more unfortunate feature is that the con- trolling party has no other leader who can handle the reins.

RENTING A TAsooED POLICY.


 From the early and meager reports received concerning the sinking of the Italian liner 4ncopa it might appear that Austria had taken up tho Von Tirpitz policy of dealing with the mer- chant vessels of the enemy where Germany had left off, but further de- tails are necessary before such an opinion is justified German and Austrian submarines have been busy -n the Mediterranean and Adriatic for some time. It "as only recently that Ambassador Bernstnrff announced that 23 of the allies ships had been sunk in tl'dt region Lut with the ex- ception of warships and transports there hau been consideration given to the safety of the crcws
