Canada has had q Pacific railroad
swindle too. 1t was brought to light BY
letters written by one Sir Hugh Allen,
who played the part of Cakes Ames
This person had united with himself
New York and Chicago capitalists to
build railroad through Canada to the
Pacific coast. The act of Parliament un
der which this company was Chartered
and organized, granted to it, for building
the road, $50, 100000 in cash and land
subsidy OF fifty millions Of acres. The
letters above referred to vera written in
the operation Of securing this grant and
accompanying contract, the method EN-
ployed being the distribution of $3.50,
900 in stock and sS43, 900 in gold, each
respectively placed where it would dc
most good. A large proportion Of thin
fund was used, as Sir Hugh Allen re-
veals, in securing" members Of Parlia
ment, and especially those Of "greates'
prominence and influence" Tho remain
der seems TO have been employed "tt
control elections" and subsidize thu
press, tho whole process being apparent
ly considered by Sir Hugh as legti
mate business transaction. .

WHAT A CHANGE.

Ten years ago Chas. Sumner and tho
Boston League were hard at work edu-
eating the people up to the point Of Civ
ing the ballot TO the colored man. A
war Of races and general ruin were the
least consequences predicted by all old
fogy conservatives. Ten years have
passed, the distinction Of color: has dis
appeared from the qualification OF elec-
tors q colorcd man has sat in Calhoun
seat in the U. S. Senate chamber, anoth-
err colored man responded to the roll
call where "Bully Brooks" aired his
plantation manners, after assaulting Sen
ator Sumner in his official seat.
To-day, the advocates Of progress are
affirming that human rights arc the in
aienable rights" OF any one Of Gods
creatures endowed with an immortal
soul. Wyoming Territory has respond.
ed, and after tour years Of practical
work, declares that it is good thing to
permit women to so to the polls with
their father, husbands and sons, and
thereby secure the election Of bet.
ter men for each Office.

GOOD NEWS,


The Kansas Central Railroad Marrow
Guage) has secured loan of two mil.
lion dollars, and will at once extend
their road and branches two hundred
miles, tapping the Solomon valley and
other rich sections Of the country west.
Such IS the substance of dispatch, the
truthfulness Of which has been con.
irmcd. One hundred and fifty thousand
dollars in Saline county bonds were
voted to this road a year ago last fall.
This line, affording direct connections
with Chicago and St. Louis, will DO such
An one rs Sal,na needs-a competing
line with tho Kansas Pacific. This news
Is cheering, and will serve to revive the
dropping spirits of those who have
hitherto been discouraged about railroad
matters. Its construction has been
somewhat retarded by lack of funds
but it now has the needed " scads," and
tho branch to Salina will surely be built
Another importance attached to the con
struction of this road-bssides being q
competing line-is that it will urg'
the managers of tho Holden road te
secure their franchises, and push on Il
Salina. Tho future seems full Of goo.
omens now.

Senator Thurman expresses a solici.

their movement with becoming wisdom.
The Cincinnati Enquirer puts the matter
more plainly, and hopes the farmers
will "organize and nominate for the
Democratic party" No doubt the man.
ayers Of that apocryphal organization
would be exceedingly obliged to the
farming element if it would do some
thing of that sort, and thereby relieve
them from great deal of mental worry.
And yet presidents are against it, for
last year another element was called
upon to nominate for the Democratic
party, and without that signal success
which produces qualification in reading
the election returns. Experience would

able vessel to dispatch in search of the
Polaris, one had to be purchased by the
Navy Department, and taken to dry

imprcssing ono of the splendid iron
