The Canton News gives publication
to the following interesting facta:
On fourth class merchandise, the rail
roads charge 50 cents per hundred from
Milwaukee to Pierre, and they charge
48 cents per hundred from Sioux Falls
to Pierre. The rate from bioux Falls to
Alcester, about Tfty miles, is 29 cents
per hundred, and the rate from Milwau
kee to Alcester, about 500 miles, is ex
actly the same as frsm Sioux Falls, 20
cents. The railways either haul out of
Milwaukee 450 miles for nothing, a thing
no one supposes they are able to do, or
they charge too muoh from Hioux Falls.
The rate from Sioux Falls to Garretson
and Sioux City to Garretson on some
classes of freight, are just the same, al
though the distance from Sioux City to
Garretson is nearly three times as great
as from Sioux Falls. A friend shipped
the writer a barrel of apples somtf time
siuce from Baraboo, Wis. The freight
from Baraboo to Sioux Falls was 85
ceuts ana the freight from Sioux Falls to
Canton (less than one-twentieth of the
distance from Baraboo to Sioux Falls)
was one dollar. Oh, no, the railroads do
not discriminate against the people of
the state, but will they pleuce explain
these figures?

MADISON
W. C. T. U. COLUMN.
Boys Bead Thin.
Chauncey Depew, against whom no
one would think of charging a puritan
in spirit, speaka as follows on the tem
perance question: "Twenty-five years
ago I knew every man, woman and child
in Peekskill. And it has been a study
with me fo mark boys who started in
eveby grade of life with myself, to see
what has become of them. I was up last
fall, and began to count them over, and
it mis an instructive exhibit. Some of
them became clerks, merchants, manu
facturers. lawyers, and doctors. It is
remarkable that everyone of those that
drank is dead not one living of my
age. Barring a few who were taken by
sickness, every one who proved a wreck
and wrecked his family, did it from rum
and uo other cause. Of those who were
church-going people, who were frugal
and thrifty, every single one of them
without an exception, owns the bouse
in which he lives, and has something
laid by, the interest of which, with His
house, would carry him through many a
rainy day. When a man becomes de
based with gambling, rum or drink, he
does uot care all his finer feelings are
crowded out. The poor women at home
are the ones who suffer—suffer in their
tendereut emotions, suffer in their
affections for these whom they love
better than life."
It will be a great blessing if bojs will
not only read this, but will determine
that, with God's help they will never
drink the first glass.—Young Reaper.
The cause of total abstinence re
ceives this bit of testimony from the
Chicago Herald: "Any one coming in*
to contact with the swifter currents of
city life will learn thftt there are hun
dreds of men who abstain from drinking
not because they have certain objects in
life, and have learned by experience or
observation that the use of whisky
would interfere with tbeir plans. They
are well oontent that other men in their
same lne of business, or those with
whom they deal, should drink, if they
want to drink, but as calculating sports
and speculators, they have gone orer the
records and have decided that the liquor
habit is a handicap."
It is stated that the drink bill of the
House of Commons lor
.toon* lor ttvw foootb^

cording to latest otticial returns, is
a very large amount for each, when
