OBITUARY.

Sir James Young simpson, NJ. D., ID. C.L
The death OF the distinguished discoverer OF the
anesthetical properties Of choroform Sir James Y.
Simpson, is announced by cable. DIR. Simpson was
born in the year 1s11 in Bathgate, Linlithgowshire
Scotland. He received his education in the Uniyer-
sity OF Edinburgh from which he graduated in 1882
with the degree OF n. ID. Immediately after gradu-
atng he was appointed an assistant to Professor
Thompson Of the University, and he proved his
eminent fitness for the position by an able series OF
lectures which he delivered during the illness of his
principal in 1885, In 1910 DR.. Simpson was elected
to the Profcssorship Of Midwifery in the Rdn-
burgh University, and this position he held during
the remainder OF his life. 1t was on the 10th of
January, 1s47, that he first applied an&sthesa to
midwifery practice, and his subsequent investiga-
tons In this same direction led to the discovery of
the anasthetica properties OF chloroform. The i'm
porance OF these investigations scarcely be over
estimated, and they have completely revolutionzed
some OF the features OF medical and surgical prac-
tice. DR.. Simpson was elected President OF the
Edinburgh Royal College OF Physicians In 1s4s and in
1859 President OF the Medco Chrurgical Society In
1853 the French Academy OF Medicine complimented
him by electing him Foreign Associate, and still
higher compliment was paid him In 1886 by the
award OF the "Montyon Prize" OF 1000 francs by the
French Academy OF Sciences, in consideration OF
the benefits conferred upon humanity by the intro
duction OF anesthesia by chloroorn into the prac-
tice OF surgery and midwifery About the same time
he received the Knighthood OF the Royal Order OF
St. Olaf from King Oscar OF Sweden.
DIR. Simpson was the author OF numerous medical
treatises that are well known in all quarters OF the
world, and many OF them have been translated into
nearly all the European languages. In January,
1885, he was created 5aronet IN recognition OF his
services as the dscoverer OF ehloroform and in the
same year he received the honorary degree OF D. c.
L from the University of oxford In September,
1857 he was President OF the Department OF Health
In the Social Science Congress held at Belfast. The
lectures OF DR.. Simpson did much towards giving
the Edinburgh School OF Medicine its high reputation
and his fame as physician secured him the largest
practice, perhaps, ever enjoyed by any member of
the profession. The claims OF DIR. Simpson to the
honor OF being the first discoverer OF the anastheca
properties OF chloroform have been disputed but IL
is generally conceded that he is entitled TO it.
@1he most important Of the writings OF DR. simp
son are on the subject OF obstetrics His "Obstetri
cal Memoirs and Contributions" has been published
in this country as have also his contributions To
obstetrical Pathology" Essays on Anasthesiap
and "a Treatise on Homeopathy" together with
several memoirs relating to the history and antqui
ties OF the medical profession.

LABOR AND CAPTTAL

GENERAL BUTLER has recently written a letter
to Wendell Phillips, in which he strongly
urges the adoption of effective measures by
the Legislature of Massachusetts, to secure
accurate statistics of the condition of the
working people of that Commonwealth, which
he proposes to make the basis of legislation
to advance their welfare, and to establish har-
monious and equitable relations between en-
ployers and employees. There is not neeesss-
rily, as some writer's pretend to believe, and
as demagogues are very apt, from time to
time, to stoutly allege, an irreconcilable con-
fiiet between capital and labor. The former re-
presents, in (" .angible and unmistakable shape,
labor already performed, which is endowed
with the capacity to purchase more labor, and
it is the natural ally instead of the natural
enemy of the labor that is about to be per-
formed, which, in turn, is speedily converted
into capital when it is accompanied by the
proper economical conditions. The capital
of to-day represents the labor of yesterday,
and the labor of to-day may represent the
capital of tomorrow, SO that under a proper
political, industrial, and social organization,
these elements, instead of being antagonistic,
would and should be in the highest degree
friendly. All the modern plans for promoting
this end which are just and wisely devised
deserve universal support; but when they
border on tyranny or knavery, either for the
benefit of the capitalist or the helaborer, they de-
serve condemnation and defeat More has been
done in this country than in any other to i'm
prove the condition of workingmen. Secured
public school education at the outset of life,
every industrious young man who masters
useful occupation finds little difficulty in
obtaining remunerative employment. Even if

THE FUTURE OF LAKE SUPERIOR

The people of Canada are seriously agi-
tatlng the building of railroad from On
tarlo to The Pacific, which will run who'll
ly through British territory. The Dominion
Government have decided to take the mat
ter IN hand, and, with the assistance of the
government OF Ontario, intend to build it
with as little delay as possible. The route
has not been decided on yet, but the one
that Is considered most feasible, would take
Montreal at he point of beginning, passing
north OF Ottawa, and not touch Ontario
unttl reaching the mouth of Montreal RIy-
er, at the head Of the great O tawa valley

pretty direct route is claimed to the head
Of lake Superior, by taking the south side

elevation Of the country is 900 feet above
Lake Superior, and engineering difficulties
will be met with beyond Lake Nipieon and
near Fort William, which will neoessitate
building the road some little distance 10
the north OF the latter place, on to the val
ley OF the north Saskatchewan, the River
Athabasco, and the Y ellow Head, or Leath-
er Pass, to the Upper Fraser River, and
descending 1t to its tributary, the Ques-
nellie River, and from it across Butte Inlet on
the Pacific. An easy passing can b e made
SO II is said, through the Rocky Mountains
at Leather Pass.
This route, it is claimed, is much shorter
than through our country. The distance
between New York and The Pacific is pat
down at 1924 miles; from Montreal bv
the Canadian route, it would be 2,S46, or
43S miles less.
1t is estimated that it will take 500, O0o,-
600 to build the road.
We hope our nei yhbors will put their ci-
gantlc enterprise through, for we firmly be-
lieved that grand railroad passing through
such a country as we have indicated, will
open region far superior, in every respect,
to either Upper or Lower Canada -Houqh-

Bayfield, and Superior Wagon Road.

The party of men who have been engag-
ed in building this road returned to town
last week, having finished the road to Il
point about three miles this side Of the
County line, to where the Bayfield, people
had previously opened it from bayfield,.
Mr.. Richard Bardon, who had charge of
the work, has kindly furnished us with the
following facts relative to the road and the
country it runs through; That part Of the
road built by his party is about % .nifes
long, ana crosses the Aminicon, Middle
and Poplar Rivers, all streams of consider
able size, with rapid currents, requiring
heavy and strong bridges The Aminicon
bridge, constructed Of heavy pine TIMBER
is l30 teet long, Is feet wide, and rests up
on four cribs, two, in the deepest water,
being filled with stone. Middle and Pop
lar river bsidges are respectively 50 and 63
feet long, and constructed similar TO hat
across The Aminicon. Besides those BRIDGES
the force built five smaller ones, each from
to 8 feet long. They graded down the
hills, removed the stumps and rubbish. and
placed the read in irst-rate condition for
winter travel.
The character Of the country along the
road is good, Mr.. b. says, as any in part of
our County. The surface is generally ele-
vatca and gently rolling, but well drained,
Hnd covered with a strong growth of oak,
maple, birch, ash, pine, spruce, poplar and
tamarac. Much Of the woods is so open
aud contains 50 little underbrush that
wagon could be driven through it without
impediment The soil is generally a rich
sanGy loan, undcrlaid with clay, and is very
fertile
Messrs. Pike & McCluskey Of bayfield,,
who intend to run q daily line of stages
over the road during the winter, are having
the necessary stations built at convenient
points, and viii commence their line on
the close Of navigation. The distance be-
tween Superior and Bayfield, by the road
IS about seventy miles, and three stopping
places viii be erected.
That the road viii be Of great benefit to
Douglas and Bayfield, Counties there is no
question Besides aff,rding the people an
avenue of nter-c communication, it opens
up to settlement a tract of country than
which, for agricultural purposes, there is no
better in the Northwest.
