Fifty-eight per oent. of all rallway mileage is in lands governed hj thiemi, and they own and control a much larger pereeatage. Of every 100 miles oí railway Unes in the world 41 are in the Unitecl States; and tihile country lias 30 per cent. of all tlie telegraph linies, while 4(i per ciiu of the world's unes are in An.aloSaxnin territory.

In his address at the gyninnsimn dedtaatioe Capt. Allen said : -'Eduoatlon and Religión' is the motto of YpsUa.nti fliid our aim and boast." His aim amd boast ! Yet tüat man promteed the sheep 50 cents apound for their wool, nnder McKinley's tariff !- Adrián Press. The Press has iterated and reiterated the above free trade 50e wool fabricatkHi until it is impossible to oblitérate it from the woof of its miod's texture, and now really peddles it out for the truth. Any hope either the people or the sneep nay have had for 50 cemt -wool ha been completely toned by that anti-American legislative tnoDstroeity known as the Wilscwi MIL JuBt tlie threat of that bill bas killed off all the good the McKinley act might do were the circumstances euch that it could. Many of our nedgliboring villages and citles boast of thelr beautiful wonnen. Among the many attractioms - and not the least- possessert by Cedar .Spr'ang.s, ie the great number if intelligent, bandeóme, fine-looking young ladies and women.

He loves them all. "Oh, I could lie happy wlth eithr, with 'tother dear charmer away." Tliat's no doubt bis condition. The Adrián Prees remarks : "The recent elections In Hawaii being favorable to tlie existing provisional governiraent, tlie Ann Arbor Courier slaps both thighs aind yells, "Hurrah ior the liberty-loving patriotic gons of Ajmerioans in tliose islancls of the Pacific sea !"
