DR.. J. G. Holland, better known to tho world |
pol3,aps by Ills non. do plume Timothy Tit
comb,' delivered tho SEQ ond of tho Union Park
course Of lectures in the Union Park Congrega-
tonal Church, last evening, before large
audience. The looturor had choBon "Tho
Elements Of Personal Power" as his subject
which he treated in a manner peculiarly ILLS own,
carrying Ills listeners, before they were well
aware Of the fact, deep into psychological prob
lema Of striking originality, and onunciatod in
language quito FREQ from that which usually
makes the results Of philosophical research, as
Het forth by philosophers tic driest kind OF
roading and talking, Ho referred to tho loyo
Of power, and said that when it takes
hold OF man 1t becomes ambition.

abroad. Some mon ahow their power by ever
pushing other men forward, often by keeping
othor men back but all arc moved by the one
motive, 1--we Of power. Hc considered tue frat

that at,ch la tho caae, but adduced tho faiiuro OF
tho Now York Ring rs proof that, soonor or
later, all power basod upon dishonesty must fail.
Absolute moral and intellectual honesty Is tho
only baais upon which personal powor eau stand.
| The lecturer drow u vivid comparison botweon
tho brilliant Douglas and tho plain but honost
Lincoln, and stated that Notwithstanding the
| apparent difference OF power between tho two
men, the memory Of tho formor will survive
merely because IL will bo associated with tho

Tho purchase from the Boston firm Of James

FioldB) of tho Atlantic Monthly and Euery Satur-
day by Hurd + Hougbton, Of Now York. and Of
Our Ioung FOLKS by scribnor t. Co., also OF New
York, is tho most important llterary evont that
has been announced in long time. It cannot
but bo regarded aa oession on tho part Of Bos-
ton Of very large share Of Its literary prestigo
which tho Boston pooplo, who have boon prouder
OF their city's literary distinction than Of any
other characteristic, will not relinquish will
ingly. Their opposition to tho sacrifice will bo
intensified by the fact that It rcacts In favor
Of New York. Tho tranBfcr will bo regarded
generally throughout the country as another
assertion Of Now York's commercial supremacy,
which ia thus assorted evon In tho most in
tollootual Of pursuits. Books arc commodity,
and magazino-publishin business, after all, and
tho trausfor appears to bo an indication that tho
commercial character OF book-1naklng 1s eYon
moro essential than intellectual traditions and
|~agsociatione. Tho atlantic hae for many years
been the lending exponent Of the most pro-
grossiye classes Of New England, md it is so in-
timately associated with certain phases Of New
England intellectually that its migration to
Now York Ia spocioa Of traueplanting, tho silc-
cess Of which must be determined in tho future.

and Indiana, ns largo aa England, Ireland, and
Scotland together, three times 1argor than tho
Kingdom Of Bavaria, Hovcn tfrnos larger thnn
tho Kingdom Of Belgium, and containa 10000
Square miles moro territory than a1l OF tho Now
England States combined. This vast empire Of
land was givon away by tho people OF tho United
stntos, through thoir representatives In Con-
groBp, without any consideration, and tho concorn
which, Ia to reooivo It now proposes to ask that
ita bonds bo guaranteed ovor and aboVo THIS.
Tho demand Ia unparalleled for efrontofy. and
could bo mado In no othor country and In no
other ago than tho present. Thoro ~ a wide'
spread boliof that, cyon ii tho Northern paoiho
Railroad wore built, equipped. and In running
ordor, this 1and-grant would do moro damage
to tho intorosta Of tho country Than tho
road would oYor offset. In a late number Of
tho seattlo Cwaahlngton Territory) 1nte''tgencer
1t is hold that tho grant is "monstrous h1n-
dranco".to tho natural development Of tho oosn-
try. The route Of tho road In Washington Ter
ritory is that Of an irregular triangle, extending
$50 n1iloa on tho southern limo, 208 miles on tho
Western, aud 300 miles on tho northorn, making
858 milea within TINT Torrftory, which might
havc boon travcracd with 800 miles, as tho orig
ina1 act Of 1854 provided. Tho change was mado
to secure the additional grant OF 1and' which Is
40 miles in width for every mile Of road. WaHh-
ington Territory alone thus cedes 1920 square
miles to tho railroad, or noarly ono-half OF its
| entire area. Tho policy Of tho railroad Is to put
| a double prlco on It's land (probably because
Northorn Pacific bonds aro talen in payn1ent),
while the owners of tho lind not acquired by tho
railroad think toy ought to got double prioo on ao
count Of tho benefits supposed toaccrue from tho
building tho road. Thereault, ,aa tho Intelg
indicates, has boon to put a stop to immigration
| and rotard tho settlement OF tho country for
many years, besides throwing tho land, II the
road should oyor be built. into the hands OF o
hugo and unsorupulouB monopoly. This tostt'
mony is especially valuable sinco It comes from
that part of tho country which WAS to have been
specially aidod by tho building OF tho rona.
Tho Northern Pacific Rai1road Company Ia ir
| desperate st1ait-or would bo il 1t had any
capital at risk. It's charter provides that a
least 80 rnilce Of road must be built eyory yoar
and tho ontiro line completed before July 4
1877. It Is Certain that tho Company, in 1T
present shapo, cannot comply with these con
ditions Hence the proposed raid upon Con
grosa for tho guarantee Of its bonds. This rait
must be defeated at all hazards II tho roa'
should stop where 1t Is, and tho land rovort t.
tho people, wo are not sure but 1t ia the bes
thing that could happen.

twoon individuals. It Is not impossible,
however, that tho atatuto may DO construed to

which allogo ovorchargos for freight transpor-

going to show what Ia reasonable charge. This
is tho frat caao, we believe, That has over been

est. Tho counts which charge discrimination
