MICHIGAN AND THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC EeA1LRDAD.

From the Grand Rapids (AIich) Daily Democrat
Siuce the purchase of the Sheboygan
& Fond du Lac Railroad by Messrs Joy
and Vanderbilt, and the link they are
constructing from Fond du Lac to Black
River Fall, Wis, giving the road named
connections with st. Paul, new life has
been given to all east and west railroads
running through Michigan.
There Is now considerable strife between
the Flint & Pere Marquette and Ionia
q Lansing Railroads, both wishing to
reach Lake Michigan first. Vanderbilt
contemplates putting line of steamers
on the route between Grand Haven and
Sheboygan, thus forming a through route
vid the Detroit u Milwaukee and New
York Central Railroads until the other
roads shall reach Ludington and Pent-
water.
Already arrangements are making to
establish line of steamers between Mus.
kegon, Whitehall. and SbeDoygan, to
run in connection with the Chicago &
Michigan and Grand River Valley divis-
ions OF the Michigan Central Railroad
and when the connection is made with
st. Paul (that being the eastern terminus
OF the Northern Pacific Railroad1 will
furnish the wheat growers Of the great
West three through routes across North
ern Michigan. j. Cooke & Co, are now
| working 10000 men on the Northern Pa
cific, and the builders of the east and
west roads in Michigan and the Wiscon-
sin link are working 5000 more, so that
there Is every reason to anticipate that
within eight months, the whole products
of the great Northwest, together with an
immense passenger traffic will be passing
through Michigan, and thus enable
Sheboygan, with its splendid harbor, to
double the shipping business of Milwau-
kee.
The Democrat seems to know of no
other port but Shobcygan, to connect
Michigan with the Northern Pacific Rail
road, and the road from Sheboy gan to
Fond du Lac beng already in operation,
justiies him in looking to that port es-
pecially But let Manitowoc be connect
ed with Appleton, New London and
thence almost at bee line with che North
ern Pacific road, where will Skeboygan
be then ? We have to keep mum now
about our Railroad prospects, but when
they are fully established and made
known, they will astonish not only the
natires but also the outsiders, even a far
as those Of Grand Rapids. Mich.

Nations ought to institute lust such

for religious purposes. Quite reluctantly
with heavy heart, Mr.. - engaged
hi nself as clerk at salary of $4,000
a year.
Not long since he renewed his applica-
ton, when the Bishop informed him
that he would be glad to employ him, but
he could not guarantee him decent
maintenance-he could only give him
S70O per year. He Immediately inform
ed the Bishop that the money was no
object with him, any farther than be
wanted a living. Mr.. employees, on
being Informed by their clerk that he
wished to be released from his engage
ment, offered him promptly an addition
al thousand dollars year.
This, however, he refused, and is now
laboring as deacon at salary of
500.
Doubtless, many will see and admire
the heroism and christian philanthropy
shown in this case. a great many more,
however, will probably never know any
thing about it; and, some day, (very

The first lecture Of the course of lee
lures had this season for the benefit Of
the Jones Library Association. was de-
livered Saturday evening of last week by
Dr. G. M. Steele, the learned and able
president of Lawrence University. The
more intelligent portion of the commu-
nifty was nearly respectfully represented
by the too meager audience for such an
occasion. The subject. "the protective
tariff indeed is not one of greatest
voluntary interest to the general public.
yet, embracing many vital questions of
both business and state, it is imperative
on the patient, even painful attentions Of
the laborer and capitalist, of the constitu-
ent and representative. The great ma
jority of people shirk the great effort
inexorably requisite to learn the things
most valuable to be known.
The lecture advocated protection, and
was wholly confined to that side of the
question. The main points were, in or
der and substance, about as follows: The
plausibility Of the free trade idea consists
principally in its simplicity and natural
ness.
The industrial interests Of every COM
munity demand the greatest possible
proximity of the producer and con-
sumner This would suspend part of
the business Of transportation and
commerce; but it is law Of po-
litical economy that no business Is good
for its own sake. The producer and con-
sumer could thus divide among them
selves the wages of the middle men. A
community which confines itself to the
production of raw materials to export
and exchange for manufactured articles
inevitably exhausts the soil. The aver
age productive power of the soil of the
New England and middle states has
steadily and greatly decreased, which is
likewise true, in less degree, of Illinois,
Ohio, and some other grain growing
states of the west. Cotton was king

NEWSPAPERS IN SCHOOL.-We see
from our exchanges that some teachers
have commenced reading the local paper
of their community with their more ad-

There is nothing that can give more gen
eral Information than good newspapers
and their introduction into the schools
would have as good an influence on the
publishers, making them more and more
careful about what and how they write,
as upon the scholars by studying and
commenting on what has been thus pub
lished. For our part we should be glad
to have the TRIBUNE thus severe Iy criti-
cised.
