At 11 o'clock Inst night thn jury In the
Colo-Miller cnso wore still out , with ap-
jiarently no intention of returning a vor-
dlot before morning. At supper time the
report was spread thrxt they wore almost
unanimous for tlio defendants , but from
tlio preparations made for spending tlio
night comfortably it was easy to sco that
Jin agreement was not an immediate
prospect. The lawyers on both
nidcs have been on the watch over
slnco the case wont to tlio jury at 2
o'clock , and , though hopeful , were on the
anxious seat. From the peculiar circum
stances surrounding the trial , the law
points and largo money value involved ,
thu litigation has aroused 'great interest
all over the state. Yesterday , when it
was known that the heavy work was to
bo done , the court room was crowded ,
nml oven aftertho jury retired manyspcc-
tators hung about the corridors waiting
for the verdict.
Tlio arguments of the counsel in sum
ming up the case to the jury worn ingen
ious unit forcible on both Bides. General
Cowin , for tlio defense , spoke first , and
his every word and motion gave evidence
of intense belief in the justness of his
client's claims , lending his effort an in
spiration that made it at times particu
larly grand and effective. Much of his
.speech was addressed directly to Lowy
and Cole , who eat in fiont of him at the
end of the Jury box , and as ho hurled
scathing sentences of denunciation at
them , accompanied with an emphatic
gesture of the hand , and the assertion ,
' you know its so Lowy ; you know its so
Cole ; neither one ot you davc deny
it , " the plaintiffs wriggled about
like Dean Swift's snake which was cursed
by tlio fish-wife for squirming \vhcnsho
was skinning it alive. The counsel for
tlio plaint ! ! ! , General Cowin said , lays
uurticiiiur stress upon the fact that Mr.
Lowy is a rich man ; that ho can go to
banks in Chicago and borrow $00,000
without security , and argues , therefore ,
that he must be respectable and honest.
If this is a standard of probity and in
tegrity , then Loyal L. Smith must have
boon the very arch-angel of icspecta-
bility , for ho was able to do the very
same thing , and there are bankers in this
court room to-day who advanced him
largo sums of money with
out collateral endorsement. Tak
ing the testimony General Cowin
went through it , tracing Lowy's con
duct from the day ho lelt Chicago for
Omaha the first time until the deal was
consummated , and giving the logical
deductions therefrom. The whole thing
was a deliberate , collossal steal , he
claimed , planned in Chicago by Lowy.
Cole and Smith , who wcro members of
the linn of pirates who carried on an
illegitimate warfare upon the sea of com
merce , filling it with wrecks and spread
ing financial desolation on every side.
His closing argument was on the value
of the stock , tlio lowest estimate of which
was $100,000 made by George W. Amos , a
witness for the plaintill' . Lowy know
Smith never pretended to have more than
$00,000 capital , so there must bean
an Indebtedness of ? 10.000 , and
yet in the face of this ho deliberately
Mvoars that he believed Smith's statement
that ho didn't ' o\vu anything.
Thurston'B argument for the plaintiff
was more of a theoretical than logical
presentation of the case , convincing
rather in its plausibility and earnestness
than sound reasoning. Ho contended
that if a steal was intended Lowy would
have paid Smith $100,000 in cash , and
then Smith could have given back the
overplus. In this way there would have
teen no question i\bout \ the adequate
price paid. In the next sentence
ho ridiculed the idea of Smith
giving Lowy § 10,000 as assorted
by the defense , because Smith
was a sharp rascal , and would not trust
any man with $10,000 , of his money.
Lowy , ho claimed , hud lived in Chicago
for twenty-two years , and was known as
an honorable , upright man. He was not
the kind of a man Smith would have
chosen to assist him in a fraud.
Judge Dundy's charge was quite ex
haustive and entirely satisfactory to both
aides , something unusual in a case of
this magnitude.

TALMAGE ON THE HOME.
Sound Advice to YOUIIR Married Men.
It is the delusion as to what is nccessa-
ry for a home that hinders so many from
establishing one. Thirty rooms are not
necessary , nor twenty , nor fifteen , nor
ten , nor live , nor three. In tlio right
why plant a table , and couch , and knife ,
nnd fork , and a cup , and a chair , and you
can raise a young paradise. Just start a
home , on however small a scale , and it
will grow. When King Cyrus was in
vited to dine with a humble friend the
king made the ono condition of Ins com
ing that the only dish bo ono loaf of
bread , and the most imperial satisfactions
have sometimes banquotled on the plain

Have a sitting-room witti at least ono

BLUE SritiNOS , Neb. , March , 4. [ Cor
respondence of the BEK. ] Appropos of
the improvements that are to bo made in
our thriving city the coming season , the
following facts in connection with the
men who are engaged in furthering them
and the advantages offered will prove of
interest :
Messrs. Black Bros. ASchrimpton , long
and favorably known in our neighboring -
ing city of Beatrice as men of ability and
integrity and thoroughly conversant with
all the dolails'of successful milling , liavo
leased sullicient power for a mill with a
capacity of 150 barrels of flour per day ,
and will at once erect a building forty
feet square nnd thrco stories high , with
mansard roof. Also an elevator with
machinery for preparing rye and buck
wheat flour. The entire works are to beef
of the most approved modern style
and the machinery the best that
can bo purchased in America.
Mr. N. S Spencer , also from Beatrice , a
gentleman of probity and brimfull of
enterprise and pluck , will erect the
planing mill and sash factory.
Messrs. McDowcl & Knight , who will
establish the foundry and machine shops ,
are men conversant with the business
nnd enthusiastic over their prospects.
After these shall have been alf supplied
with the requisite power there still re
mains an amount equal to at least 800
horse to be utilized in the near future.
3t has long been concededthutthe waters
of the beautiful Blue river at this point
afford the largest und best water power
in the state , and recognizing that fact
and also the fact that the time would
como when it would bo utilized , and
through this influence the pleasant little
city of Blue Springs would become a
town of vast importance to its line of
road , the officers of the Union Pacific
some years since purchased the entire
property and have since held it , awaiting
the coming of the time when it mtist bo
improved. Owing ; to the fact that the
several lines of railroad have been push
ing rapidly westward and opening now
fields , which , by tlio opportunities
afforded for cheap investments , have at
tracted emigration , and for a time caused
the far greater inducements here to be
passed by and neglected , our water
power nas until now remained
idle , and but little known beyond our
immediate vicinity. Our citizens , though
knowing that a mine of wealth and pros
perity wns located within our midst , and
that it was only a question of tiuio when
it would bo deposited , have yet at times
felt much of "hope deferred that maketh
the heart sick , ' ' but now feel that the
time of the fruition of our hopes is at
bund.
There is in the whole of the "wild west"
no moro beautiful section of country than
southern Gage county. The summer's
sun shines on no more fertile region
than the Blue river valley , with
its meadows nnd fields , its groves
and plains. Nowhere is thcro a moro in
telligent , educated , nnd law-abiding people
ple , and now that the sparkling waters
of the Blue are to bo utilized for indus
trial and commercial purposes , the pleas
ant little city of Blue Springs starts out
with a new boom which cannot but re
sult in making it ono of the most pros
perous and desirable locations in the
state. _ POOH-BAH.

BHATUICE , Neb. , March 4. [ Corrc-
spondence of the BEE. ] About twelve
miles south of hero is situated n town
whose inhabitants are afllictcd with
pluck and persistence , this affliction probably - .
ably being caused by the rejuvenating
qualities of tlio springs in that vicinity.
This town Is named Blue Springs , and
has many natural advantages , surrounded
by fine farming land , wliilo east , north
and south flows the Blue river , which is
ono of the best water powers in the
state. Arrangements have boon com
pleted with the Union Pacjlie railroad
whereby the water power will bo imme
diately utilized. That railroad is proceed
ing to put in llood gates , repair the
dam , etc. As soon as the
weather permits a flouring mill ,
200 barrel capacity , will bo built. Also ,
a planing mill , sash factory , and machine
shop. Tlio Union Pacifio depot is at tlio
cast end of the business street , The suit
which has been in the supreme court
against the B. & M. , and recently won by
the people of Blue Springs , gives them a
depot nnd freight facilities nt the west
end of the business street. Within the
past few months a street railway has been
built joining Blue ntings andWymoro ,
which in time wifFmake the two towns
the best in tlio state. NANKI-POO.

A Complaint Krotn an 1mlInn.
SANTEH AGKNCV , Neb. , March 2. [ To
ho Editor. ] In your paper of Monday ,
obruary 'J2. you published my state
ment to a reporter of the BIE : regarding
.ho swindling of the Sioux Indians by B.
Young. He was agent for the Nebras
ka & Iowa Insurance company , and
ifterwards for the Homo 1-iro Insurance
company of Omaha. My visit to Omaha
ivas solicited by Mr. Campbell of the
Nebraska & Iowa Insurance company ,
who also promised mo a pass to St. Paul
"or my trouble. After staying in OmrJia
ivo days I lost patience waiting for my
> ass , and being without money , asked
the Nebraska & Iowa Insurance com
pany to give mo enough money to pay
ny hotel bill nnd railroad faro to return
lome. They refused to do anything for
-no , stating that Air. Campbell was ab
sent from the city ; they would fix up with
tlio Indians some time next spring.
When I told about my trouble to tlio
Homo Fire Insurance company they
at once paid my hotel bill nnd
railroad faro. They sent Mr. Martin
Maas , their special agent , nlong with mete
to straighten up everything with the
Indians. When arriving at Creighton
Mr. Matis swore out n warrant for
Young's arrest , and tlio otliccrs are now
looking for him. Mr. Maas has visited
all the Indians who made any complaint.
Ho bus been here three duys anil engaged
mo us his interpreter. The Home lira
Insurance company has done all they
could do to have the Indians satisfied ,
even at a great loss to the company. The
Indians are loud jnr their praises of tne
prompt and fair action of this company ,
and only wish , , now that R. S. Young
would soon bo foum } and punished.

a state of treat excitement , claiming that ho
had night before last been a prisoner in thu
hands of about fifty Mexican bandits who \\ere
making active preparations to raid and plun
der the town of Carrl/o. The frightened
herder said the bandits were all heavily armed
and well mounted and that their attack upon
Carrizocould be expected any night ; hence
the piccautlon of the citizens , who a re pre >
pared to gl\e the bold bandits a warm recep

must bo near there by this time , it Is likely
they will take a hand against the bandits
should they make ttio attack to-night. Much
interest Is manifested and later Intelligence-

Under the now election law of Wash

CommlsRlonor Sparks' Course Com *
mended by n Nebraska Re
publican.
SitniwAN , Furnas county , Neb. , March
2. ( To the Editor. ] In nn editorial in
one of your weeklies about the middle of
February you scorned to throw out n bid
for a public expression of the people's
opinion in regard to the ofilclal acts of
Commissioner Sparks. As. ono of the
people I have not the slightest objection
to expressing my opinion in regard to
Mr. Sparks. I have not mot n citizen
5ct in this section that hns expressed his
views of Mr. Sparks' ofllcial nets who
did not coincide with mo in soylng that
Sparks has acted in an eminently proper
way in investigating land frauds through
out the country. 1 have not hoard n howl
j'ot from n settler because Mr. Sparks lias
withhold liis patents till lie could investi
gate the proofs. I thing nil the howl Hint
comes from the actual settlers could bo
compressed in so small n compass that
you could not hear it with the most pow
erful car trumpet in existence. All the
howl I have yet heard of is in the news
papers , nnd undoubtedly comes from
land grabbers nnd monopoly congress
men of the Jim Laird stripe. What on
earth the republicans of this district
elected the Stinkingwatcr Chieftain for I
am unable to determine. There Is not a
mote shameless hypocrite in tlio public
service than Jim Laird. I am a republican ,
but I can undorso an honest democrat or
condemn a dishonest party lender. Of
Commisioner Sparks' olllciul acts in re
gard to the public lands , I heartily en
dorse every ono of them , and if the opln-
ions of the seltlors could find cxpicssion
you would find forty-nine out of every
fifty would do the same. If wo could
have had as honest a commissioner as
Mr. Sparks to administer the affairs of
the land olllce in past 5'ears , we would
not have had to stiller the numberless
frauds that have been exposed lately.
They are everywhere , llight m tins
neighborhood 1 can show claim uftor
claim , and find dozens more , that have
been scoured by perjury.
Final proof should not bo allowed any
where except at the receiver's office , be
cause it is a common saying that the
county officers will help you through and
half swear the witnesses that is , slide
them through as easily as possible. I
agree with ono of your correspondents
when he says it is a lioly blessing that the
settler cannot borrow monov on his land.
The money lender is the fattest man in
the land , now. If the will of the western
settler is observed , Mr. Sparks will be
continued in ollico. Respectfully yours ,

"WHY NOT RUILil ) NORTH ?
Plan of a Profitable Railroad Idno
Into Dakota.
To the Editor : Your city must have "a
northern road , exclusively under control
of Omaha men devoted to Omaha inter
ests. That road should bo under con
tract this very moment and should be in
full operation in three years. Railroads
may get into Omaha from the north , but
if the management of those have other in
terests to subserve , Omaha will be plucked
instead of benofittod. You are slrong
enough to assert your individuality and
the sooner it is done the better. Now
what is wanted ? Simply this : A railroad
north into Dakota , crossing the Missouri
by a bridge at or below Yankton , up the
valley of the James river , and seeking ,
probably , Bisr.iarck on the Northern Pa
cific road , as a terminus ; then from some
point on the road , a direct northwest
branch to the Niobrara river and the
Black Hills. In selecting the route care
must be taken to boldly penetrate the ter
ritory already made 'tributary to a rival
city in nn adjacent state , and thus to
bring back , or rather , tie to Omaha Ne
braska counties lying to the north , that
would pledge to form intimate trading
associations with their own metropolis.
The idea that has been advanced in the
BEE of a road to Kcnnard , thence to
West Point , thence up Plum Creek val
ley , thence to Wayne or Wakcticld , thetico
through the western part of Dixon coun
ty , and thence along the East Bow creek
to whatever point may bo selected as the
Missouri river crossing , Is the one , as I sco
it , that should bo put into practical oper
ation. This route is several degrees to
the west of north. Ono hundred miles
out of Omaha ( perhaps rather more ) and
above Wayne or Wakofiold certainly In-
* " the ox-bow line from Hartington , In
Cedar county , to Sioux City should be
the point of divergence decidedly uortli-
wcst to the Black llills , crossing the ox
bow somewhere between Coloridrjo and
Wakoficld. This would grasp and hold
firm all that fine region of country in
Dixon and Cedar , and counties west of
them , the trade of which Sioux City has
so ingeniously put herself in wait for.
And what is particularlj" good in this
matter is , this arrangement will make
about the best of any that can bo con
trived to connect Omaha with eastern Da
kota and the Black llills alike. The pre
sumption is , such a road as this , con
structed without waste and under seed
management , will prove as profitable in
the end as that under the guidance of
Alexander Mitchell , of Milwaukee. At
nil events , it will make Omaha what she
desires to bo. the metropolis of the upper
Missouri valloy. All the analogies point
to this a result certain to como , by thus
allying herself with thu country to the
north and northwest. S.
Trunk-Ijino Impudence.
Rew Yorlt CummeictalAileeittser ,
Wo do not care the toss of a penny for
the special interests of cither of the two
trades affected by the recent changes in
freight rates on dressed meats nnd live
stock , and while wo have given the news
of the case in full , as wo give the news
of all publicly interesting matters , wo
have thus fur trained from discussing
the quo. > tlons involved in the dispute.
But , while wo hayo no moro concern for
the interests of the drcsscd-moat shippers
than for tlioso of the live-stock shippers ,
Wo must concern ourselves somewhat
with a mischievously false doctrine put
forward by Commissioner Fink in sup
port of the rates fixed by the trunk-line
pool.
That doctrine , simply stated , is that it
is the iunction of thu trunk Hue pool to
tuko paternal control of the business of
the country and protect each branch of
it against the competition of cheaper or
better methods , and no doctrine or prac
tice could bo moro dangerous , Commis
sioner Fink bays that the pool rates are
carefully arranged , so that a pound of
drcascd incut shall cost the sumo in Now
York , whether it is dressed in Chicago
and shipped hither in that form , or is
slaughtered and dressed in this city , and
that ho explained in n communication
to the Commercial Advertiser a few days
ago , is what the rates should bo made to
accomplish.
But why * Unless we admit that the
railroad corporations associated together
in the trunk line pool are the legitimate
guardians of the people , and are charged
with tlio duty of deciding what our meat
shall cost us , it is impossible to discover
uny ground whatever for Mr. Fink's as
sumption. There is but one proper meas
ure by which railroad freight charges are
determined , namely , the cost of trans
portation. If it costs more to carry one
Jiifid of freight than another , thu rates
must differ , and oven Mr , Fink would
not contend that the railroads should
equalize thorn by reducing thu higher
rates to the- level of the lower one , ut cost ,
of making the ono xmrcmuncrativo. On
the other hand , the railroads certainly
liavo no right to make nn exorbitant
charge upon the freight that it is less expensive
pensive to handle , m order to equalize
hn two.
But Commissioner Fink contends for
von more than that. He holds It to bo
iio duty of the railroads to make exorbl-
ant charges lor carrying a cerUiln kind
f freight in order that the price of the
iiing carried may bo the snmo at the
oint of delivery ns if it had been carried
i moro expensive shape. He holds that
I Is the busincM of the the trunk line
eel to regulate Iho price of bcof in Nc\v
fork in the interest of a certain grout ) of
iion. That is the long und short ot it ,
ml a moro monstrous doctrine was never
onnulatcd.
The people of New York consume a
argo amount of beef daily. They wcro
upptied originally from the region round
bout , It was tncn found that cattle
growers in the west could ship tliolr anl-
nals to Now York and sell them for loss
han neighboring growers could , and so
ho people of the metropolis wcro fed at
ess cost than they otherwise could have
won. Then certain Chicago men , seeing
lint it actually costs a great deal moro to
jurry live stock Hum to carry the dressed
neat from an cqunl number of animals ,
nidcrtook to save the waste by slaught-
jring In Chicago and shipping tlio
dressed meat. The natural result would
nvvo been cheaper meal to everybody in
Sow York , by reason of the saving of a
considerable waslo.
But Commissioner Fink decides that
ho people of Now York shall not have
cheaper meat , He says that the men who
ship live slock must bo protected nt the
expense of consumers ; that wo must eon-
inuo to pay for tlio waste involved in
hat method'of shipping , whether the
vaste is actually incurred or not ; that
in extra nnd unjustiliablo charge must
) o put upon the dressed meats to innko
hem cost as much here as if dressed
lore ; in a word , that the pool will levy a
ax upon this entire people for the benefit
of a little group of live stock shippers in
Chicago. Mr. Fink undertakes to inter-
'crovilh a natural and beneficent law of
rade. Ho assumes the right to fine every
icrson in Now York who uses Chicago
Iressed meat. Ho arrogates to himself
the right to fix the price of bcof hero , ad
vancing it beyond its natural figure in
order that a certain group of speculators
nay not bo undersold by their rivals in
business who have hit upon an impiovcd
lovico for supplying this market. Mr.
Fink's ' position is startlingly impudent
The Railroads nnd Dressed Dcof.
CMcaoo TiUnme ,
The good the railroads liavo done in
aiding tlio development of tlio country is
great. But they have done this in their
capacity of public servitors. In iissnm *
ng the right to dictate they have not only
taken n false position theoretically , but
liavo boon guilty of more injustice than
lias furnished an excuse for the over
throw of more than ono government in
tlio old world , and have done enough to
make their managers the object of gcncr-
il execration if the character of their
aels were fully understood by the public
they have wronged. Their action in the
drcsscd-bocf business alone is sufficient
to condemn thorn , oven out of their own
months , in the estimation of all right-
thinking men. The assumption ot a
right to nictate to the business world that
it shall gain no advantage from its choice
to slaughter eattlo at the west instead of
at the cast is one at which the most des
potic of tlio rulers of Europe would hesi
tate to-day unless as a discrimination in
favor of' his own people as against
the subju'cts of another government. As
between different sections of tlio sauio
country it could not bo attempted with
out impuriling a revolution. Indeed , the
rising of a no wor e bar as between the
manufacturers of England and Ireland ,
several scores of years ago , was such a
grievance that it is now referred to as a
reason for present enmity , though long
since abolished. The student of political
economy who has long groaned under a
sense of the infliction 111:15 : % perhaps , de
rive a grim satisfaction from the thought
that the evil is working its own euro , and
that the present troubles of thu railroads
arc in a large part duo to their false as
sumptions of prerogative in the past.
The very fact that they seemed to nave
such "choice pickings' * was a temptation
to others to como in and "take a share of
the swag' ' which appeared to be at the
command of any ono bold enough to
stretch forth his hand and help himself.
In a ttiluro suffering of the penalty for
past misdeeds the railroad men of this
country will learn that tlioy oannot evade
the operation of inexorable laws.
Railroad Discrimination Aualnst Car-
rylnjr Dressed Beef.
New Yutlc Kvcntno l'n t ,
The obyious nnd patent facts r.ro these :
A new and cheaper method of bringing
beef from tlio producer to the consumer
has been found. The cheapness consists
in conveying the beef without tlio olfal
in convoying the product of the animal
instead of the animal himself , dispensing
with tlio need of feeding and caring for
him en route and of curing him if ho
falls sick ns ho is apt to. Iho railroad
companies tltrow tnomsolvos in the way
of tills notable boon to the public , nnd
bay that it shall not bo. They have the
assurance , the audacity wo can call it
by no softer name to say that progress
in the useful arts shall Htop at their
bidding. They have the indiscre
tion and * the want of taut
to make this avowal at a time
when the public mind is an extremely
sensitive stito , and whoncongress is con
sidering measures to curb their preten
tious. By such hteps they put it out of
the power of statesmen nnd journalists
who would bo glad to defend them
against the attacks of demagogues to
render them any olfcotivo assistance.
They give Ihumsolvcs away altogether.
Wo have heard of cases where isolated
railways in the mining regions have put
the rates of transportation on silver so
us to got as much money out of it ,
whether it was delivered to thorn in.the
form of raw ore , or of concentrated ore ,
or of bullion. Instances liavo been
cited where railways have fixed their
rates so as to require lumbermen to ship
the whole log instead of hawing It up
and leaving thohlabs behind. Indeed , a
multitude of parallel eases might bo
found , but none could bo found more
flagitious than the one that is now thu
subject of hot dispute between Mr. Ar
mour and Mr. Fink. "

AVHAr'H IN A NAME ?
A Superior City Wnltlng Patiently
Tor Development.
SUPERIOII CITY , Wls. , March 1. [ Cor
respondence of the Ur.K. ] I have never
altered my opinion about the head of
Lake Superior. Superior Cit5 % in Wis
cousin , has the building spot. Nothing
can bo finer seeing than the protected
ilcop-wator bay in front of the lown ,
eight miles long and ono mile wido. II
is never disturbed by the agitated lake
outside , The channel between Minnesota
and Wisconsin points can bo dcnponcd
and kept constantly open for the largest
of the lake craft. Many 5'cnrs ago I
stood on the to ] ) of Mount Oncota and
looked over this town-silo of Superior ,
and wns convinced that nothing could bo
bolter for the development of n marvel
lously great city. The shore stands
well above tlio lake , ami forms n fine
plateau for miles towards the Interior of
Wisconsin , with a breadth of ample ex
pansion from Left-hand river west to the
Minnesota state line , wliero it Intersects
the St. Louis rivor. The ground lies as
handsomely us that upon which Philadel
phia stands. The very spot scorns to
liavo been fashioned by Providence for
a tremendous point of population and
trade. At present there is something
which is holding Superior City back. If
it were in Minnesota 1 presume there
would never have boon aiy : Dulutli. All
the inilucuco of Minnesota goes towards
showing up Iho commercial point at the
head 01 the lake on her own territory.
Ah a state .she derives benefit from such n
course. 1 have an idea that there is
another retarding infiuonco , having its
seat in Milwaukee , and very likely in
Madison Citi * . The ono ns the largest
city In Wisconsin , and the other , ns its
state capital , don't care about seeing n
sliong inllucneo built up in the north of
Wisconsin , which can do neither any
good. There is another , and I fear a
vorsu ono. Superior City is sold out in
ots all over the United Stato. It has no
irgin soil to work on , n sat present lo
cated on Superior bay. Any indication
of ultimate prosperity would send up prop-
city fabulously and kill out temporarily
vhat little enterprise might bo exhibited.
Jo the case what it 111:15 : % Superior City
vlll be the Chicago of Luke Superior as 1
lolievo and Dulutli its Milwaukee , only
Jio two places will bo in sight of each
other instead of ninety miles apart. The
.lino cannot bo far distant when the lake
lect will constantly seek refuge in the
jay inside tlio two points , where the
inrdcst storm that may prevail on the
agitated water outside cannot disturb the
vessels from riding ns easy ns a rocking-
chair , and where , in perfect security , they
can take in Iho Red river wheat nnd
.mlky articles from Japan and China.
Superior City then will occupy the same
ruhtlvo position to Minnesota that Kan-
5.is City ( in Missouri ) does to the state of
Kansas. They ma5 * fret and fume over
liavlicld , Ashland , Washburn and the *
; ike as they please , these will bo even
tually , like Waukegan , Kcnosha and lla-
3ino near Chicago , along the shore of
Lake Michigan. It may seem a queer
hing to saj % but in the year 53,000 which
means 114 5'cars honoo Superior City
will bo larger than Chicago , provided we
own all the tributary towards tlio north
pole , in other words , Canada. The navi
gation is just as good to the head of
Superior as to thu head of Michigan ,
nnd once at Superior Cit5' nothing can
cut off the vast streams of trade , not oven
St. Paul and Minneapolis. It must bo re
membered that the Northern Pacific
road is not fairly out of its swaddling
clothes. After a hard struggle it
is just breathing for life. Its Pacific terminus -
minus on Puget Sound is yet to bo devel
oped. Directly it will bo found coursing
eastward nlong the wouth side of the lake
Lo Sault St. Marie , then in Canada across
the Ottawa river , down this to Montreal ,
and from thence probably to Portland ,
Maine. Of course , it must go right on
over the town-site of Superior City. And
then what a combining point the latter
will bo of trunk railroads and deep water
navigation I Nothing equal to it in the
world. Of course ; when I say Superior
City , I do not confine myself to the plat
laid out by Newton thirty years ago.
Thu citj' may bo anywhere between Loft-
Hand river and Fond du Lac , twenty
miles above on tlio St. Louis river ; but Ft
must be on that great plateau to tlio
south and east of St. Louis river and tlio
buy of Superior. It will not bo along
the rugged shore to the north and west of
the lakes and outside of Superior bay-
in other words , where Dulutli , under
Minnesota auspices , has boon planted
and forced into notice with a largo out
lay of means. Before dismissing this
Superior business ( of which I huvo not
thought so much for a long time ) , I desire -
sire to say that now is thu time for on tor-
prising men to bo about the head of Lake
superior. In 1853-50 it wns buforo our
eye like n meteor , which flushed brightly ,
full of great possibilities in the near or
remote future , as circumstances might
determine. That meteor Vanisjiod from
thopublicguzo , and a whole generation
gave little thought to the spot. Now ,
with the iron rail connecting the head of
the lake with the Pacific ocean , it appears
ns a rising sun , tlio beams of which wo
can luu'uV estimate , and regarding its
setting can have no conception. S.
