ID SNOW ON THE ROUTE OF THB NoRTHsRN PACIFIC
RALRoAD.-The following opinion OF w. Minor
Roberts, Esq, United States Civil Engineer, in re-
gard to the comparatively small quantity OF snow
on the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad, is
worthy OF attention :-"There Is evidence enough to
show that the line OF road, on the general route
herein described, will, In ordinary winters be much
less encountered with snow where 1t crosses the
mountains than are the passes at more southerly
points, which are much more elevated above the
sea. The difference Of Eve to six degrees OF lati-
tude Is more than compensated by the reduced ee-
vation above the sea level and the climatic effect
OF the warm ocean currents from the
equator, already referred to, ameliorating
the seasons from the Pacific to the Rocky Noun
tains. An examination of the profile OF the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific lines between Omaha on
the Missouri river, and Sacramento, California,
distance Of 1T7b miles shows that there are four
main summits-Sherman summit, on the Black hills
about $50 miles from Omaha 1895 feet above the
one on the Rocky Mountains at Aspen summit
about 935 miles from Omaha, TAGS feet one at Hum
boldt mountain, about 1245 miles from Omaha 60I6
feet, and another on the Sierra Nevada, only
lO6 miles from the western terminus
at Sacramento, fSeS feet; whilst from a
point west OF Cheyenne, $50 miles from Omaha, to
Wasatch, 970 miles from Omaha q continuous
length OF $50 miles, every portisn OF the graded
is more than 5000 feet above the sea: being about
one thousand feet, this long distance higher than
the highest summit grade on the Northern Pacific
Railroad route, whilst for the corresponding dis
tance on the Northern Pacific route, the average
elevation is under 5000 feet or 5000 feet less. The
highest summit ON the Northern Pacific line is about
three thousand feet lower than the Sherman summit
on the Pacific line
SIT is the general impression in the States, an i'm
presson entirely natural, that the farther we 60
north the deeper the snow, but On this line the
modifying and controlling influences OF the mild
climate which pervades the Pacific slope and the
interior along this latitude, combined with the
greatly reduced elevation OF the range OF country
be occupied, and the low SUBMITS OF the back bone
mountains to be passed, tend to confirm the favora
BILE statements Of intelligent gentlemen who have
long been familiar with the regions In question"

THE BIBLE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A BRILLIANT genius in the lower branch of
the Ohio Legislature introduced bill in
that body short time ago to make the read
ing of the Bible in the public schools unlaw-
full, and this proposition'was defeated yester-
day by vote of IA yeas to 70 nays This
bill embodied as bad backward step as
modern ingenuity could well devise. Centu-
ries ago the Parliament of England pro-
hibited the reading of the Bible by laymen,
under penalty of death, thus adopting the
course which prevailed subsequently,, for a
ong period in various nations on the Cont
nent. 49, -.-..--..-
But the spirit of a free people revolted
against such restriction, and now since it
is practically abrogated in every civilized
nation, after centuries of persecution, con-
tention, and controversy, it is proposed to
establish it, SO far as the reading of the
Bible in the public schools is concerned, in
this country! Absurd retrogression could
not much further 60. If school boards, in
the exercise of the superior wisdom with
which they are usually abundantly blessed,
choose to ignore or prohibit the reading of the
Bible in the schools under their immediate
supervision, such step, though bad enough,
will only have local significance; but when
great Commonwealth like Ohio is asked by
one of her legislators to make the reading of
the Bible in all the public schools throughout
her length and breadth unlawful, and when
such proposition receives even IA votes,
we may well begin to ask whore we are drift
ing, and what new monstrosities of legisla-
tion are yet in store.

In the National House of Representatives
yesterday, a bill for the better care of cattle
in transit by railroad or other means of trans
portation was under discussion. The princi-
pal objection to it seemed to be that it would
interfere with the enactments Of the several
States, and that the sukject was one that had
best be under the control of the State gov
ernments. 1t is certain that a law of Con-
gress would be moreproductive of good than
a series Of conflicting enactments by the diff
ferent States and that it would be better
both for the railroad companies and for the
dumb beasts in whose interests it is proposed.
The matter is one that certainly deserves the
attention of Congress, as animals undoubt-
edly suffer greatly from want of proper
care in transportation, and wisely prepared
series of regulations that would aid in pro-
noting their comfort and in delivering them
in good condition to consumers would meet
with the approval of the people OF the coun-
try. Any Law passed. by Congress-, however,
should be carefully considered in all itE bear
ings, so as not to embarrass the railroad COM
panies any more than is necessary on the one
hand, and SO as to insure proper treatment
for the animals upon the other. The argu-

YEARS AGO brilliant author, ina sensational
article, treated murder as one of the fine arts,
and in these modern days his apparently fantas-
tic idea finds practical illustration, not onIyin
the imputed crime of DIR. Schoeppe, but in
the career of Ruloff, who has just been con-
victed of murder at Binghamton, N. Y.
Ruloff, like Schoeppe, is a man Of learning.
He spoke and wrote seven languages, had
figured at various times and places as an
acute lawyer, and had written learned works
as we'll as studied many things He has
nevertheless been nearly a long life criminal
part of his career hes been spent in State
Prison as a convict, and he has just been
found guilty Of a murder perpetrated when
he was attempting to commit burglary.
Accused of an aggravated murder years ago,
he then escaped the dread penalties OF the
law to incur them in his old age, after having
perpetrated many crimes. III any new proof
we're needed that mere secular education does
not furnish safeguard against crime, Ruloh
ease would furnish it.

THE SUBURBAN SARCASM.

WHEN the House bill providing for an inter-
national exposition at Philadelphia was under
consideration in the Senate yesterday, the
Senators from New York made character
istic and contemplate display of petty jeal-
ousy, and Cockadoodle Conkling especially
distinguished himself by clownish rehearsal
of the stale and stupid sarcasm that Phila-
delphia is a suburb of New York. The
best talent of that extraordinary city
having. after ages of profound thought
and intense cogitation, finally produced this
brilliant idea, it is made to do duty on all
possible occasions. When New York jour
nalist wishes to rise to the height of metro
politan sublimity, he pitches into Philadelphia
and dishes up the silly slander that she is a
suburb of the unhappy municipality over
which Tammany Hall domineers. When
Blubbering Brooks, in the House of
Representatives, attempts an unu-
sually absurd display Of his
vapid oratory, he dives deep into the vast
depths of his consciousness, and fishes up the
profound remark that Philadelphia is suburb
of New York. The Senate, as the chosen
arena of dignifed discussion, also inspires
Cockadoodle Conkling with the ambition to
make majestic display of his brilliant intel
lect, and, as its best emanation, he lays
upon the altar of a grateful country
the noble sentence that Philadelphia is a
suburb of New York. AS the Mahommedans
are taught that great is Allah and Mahomet is
his prophet, so the journalists and politicians
of Gotham perpetually repeat, as part of their
purse-p proud and narrow-minded catechism,
the dogma that great is New York and Phila-
delphia is her suburb. In this sublime faith
Blubbering Brooks, Cookadoodle Conkling,
and the scrubs of New York journalism
live, move, and have their being. 1t cheers
their hours of despondency when Tammany
Hall threatens to squeeze out their very life
blood; it consoles them when rottenness and
rascality invite upon the city of tenement
houses, gambling hells, AID bribed judges
the doom of Sodom and, Gomorrah; it en-
courages them whom pestileRce stalks abroad
in their midst, and makes their contracted
island the most unhealthy abode ever
adopted by any considerable body of man
kind; and it lights the dull torches of
their feeble and fickering intellects
when weak ambition prompts them to attempt
to be sarcastic. AS staple illustration Of
the quintessence of New York wit, nothing
could be better than their favorite remark;
and as an illustration of New York truthful
ness it cannot easily be surpassed. But if it
were capable of any amendment, the best ad-
dition would probably be compliment to the
parrots who perpetually repeat it, and the
phrase as amended should go before the
country in something like this formula
Great is New York. Philadelphia is her suburb;
and great are Blubbering Brooks and Cocka-
doodle Conkling for proclaiming these great
truths in the National Capitol.

is under forty. He educated at Yale College, at
which institution he graduated In 1883, with high
honors. He then devoted some time to travel in
Europe, passing several months In Russia, and be-
coming thoroughly converssnt with the internal
affairs and people Of that country On returning to
the United states he accepted the Professorshp OF
History and English Literature In the University OF
Michigan, which he continued to hold until he was
selected by MIR. Cornell to act as President and
organizer OF the new Cornell University
at lthics New York. In the organization OF this
institution he has endeavored to make the practical
predominate, and the success which the University
has already attained is q proof OF his educational
skill and foresight. During the late war President
White passed q year in Europe, devotiDg his time
and energy TO the dissemination OF correct ideas OF
the great struggle this continent In which course
he had the direct oountenance and encouragement
OF President Lincoln. He made frequent addresses
to large audiences in London and other English
cities, and published vigorous pamphlet which had
an enormous circulation, Subsequent to his return
to the United States he served two terms In the
State Senate OF New York, the only occasion on
which he has participated actively In political life.
President White has contributed frequently to the
Atlantic Monthly and other leading periodicals.
Among his articles in the Atldntic those Cardinal
Riohelieu and Thomas Jefferson were masterpieces
OF historical writing. He is fluent and vigorous
speaker, and possesses rare degree OF oratorcal
power.

upon the result Of tho October elections.
It will also be seen that regular BLOODY

natives and Democrats are to be put out
of the way by the Federal army. What g

WARRINGTON, October 13.-It ia learned
that the Presidential proclamation under
he Ku-Klux act means more than it's SUI
face wonld Indicate. It is now known
positively that for more than six weeks
o asst, or even since the Kuklux Committee
I Congress returned from the South, the
administration bas had under considers
ION O policy to be enforced not only
against the sC-calIed k1klux organic atoms
but in the administrator of Federal civil
affairs in the South. There was no sub
| ,tantial difference of opinion among The
President and the Cabinet and the leading
Republicans who favored this new order
of things, except as to the time when ii
shall be enforced, and that accounts for
the delay until aftet the Oato5er elections
The proclamation is, therefore, but the
forerunner OF martial law and the suspen-
sion of the writ of habeas corpus.
A prominent member of the Goverrme nj
and also leading Republicans declare to
day that the arrangements of the civil anC
military for wholesale arrests of member
of the Kuklux Klsn had been perfected,
and thas the country would be surprised,
if the proclamation were not needed, by
the arrest of Known Southern men.
Inasmuch as it is averred that outrages in
| the Sonth are provoked by corruption of
Office holders and the plnnder of the peo-
pie, it is the intention of the President to
warfare against all corrupt Federal off
cials, and to invite the cooperation of all
good Republicans fer the displacement OF
bad Stete officials. This is to go hand-in-
hand with the enforcement of the Kuklux
law until it is stated '"there is q lasting
peace ia the South"

The Carnival CT Fire.

The tremendous confagra;ion which has
Just swept over the city of Chicago, has
never been equsled upon this continent.-
Considering the means Ct combating fire
which have been perfected by modern
science, the disaster seems to have been
moro rapid and irresistible than any on
record. not excepting the great fire of
London. The sympathies of the whole
world have been excited by the thrilling
sufferings Of thousands. Many persisted
lamentably by the most awful form of
death, swallowed up by the surging waves
of the ocean of fire that rolled over the
devoted city. like.
But while the less of property in Chicago
strikes most foroibly by its magnitude
and it's concentration in O comparatively
small area. and also by the destruction OF
such a vast amount of the results of human
industry, another confagration of stupen-
dous extent, and still more destructive to
human life, has been raging for more than
three weeks over three of the northwestern
States. An immense region embracing Da-
kota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan,
is still or rather was still covered few days
ago with boundless virgin forests Of mag
nIfcent timber. a great drought has
prevailed for weeks in all that country.
a2d the parched woods became as dry as
finder. A fire coming from Dako:a
sweeping over rrairies and forests, has
advanced to the northwestern corner OF
Ohio, reaching in northern direction ia,
up Lake Superior. The country border
ering on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron
has been entirely devastated. Some idea
may be formed of the eonfagration when
it is stated that it's limits extend three
miles in length by about one
hundred miles in breadth. One can
